Technical Field
[0001] The utility model provides an ice maker which is easy to clean and belongs to the technical field of ice makers. Background Art
[0002] An ice machine is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It uses a refrigeration system and water as a carrier, and produces ice by passing through a certain device under power-on. The shape of the ice cubes generated varies according to the principle and production method of the evaporator; people generally classify ice machines into granular ice machines, flake ice machines, plate ice machines, tube ice machines, shell ice machines, etc. according to the shape of ice. Ice machines are widely used in the field of food processing. They have a water tank for storing ice-making liquid (water, beverages). Since the water and beverages used for each ice-making may change, the water tank often needs to be cleaned after each ice-making to avoid affecting the next ice-making.

[0027] Principle of the utility model
[0028] During use, when the water tank 2 in the ice maker needs to be cleaned, the L-shaped rod 5 is driven to rotate by starting the motor 4, thereby driving the hollow block 6 and the sponge 11 to rotate. The sponge 11 rotates in the water tank 2. When encountering a protrusion in some parts of the water tank 2, the sponge 11 is pressed by the side wall of the water tank 2 at the protrusion, so that the sponge 11 moves toward the direction close to the hollow block 6, thereby driving the mounting plate 10, the connecting rod 9, and the slide plate 7 to move toward the direction close to the hollow block 6, thereby causing the spring 8 equipped with the damper to be compressed, so that the inner wall of the water tank 2 at different positions can be effectively wiped. The user only needs to manually clean the local dead corners, which saves time and effort and greatly reduces the user's work fatigue intensity of cleaning the water tank 2; by matching and disconnecting the Velcro mother sticker 16 with the Velcro child sticker 17, the sponge 11 can be quickly disassembled and assembled to facilitate the replacement of the sponge 11.
