Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to an ice making machine with a drawer type water tank. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. Water enters the water storage tank through the water inlet valve and is then pumped to the diverter pipe by a water pump. The diverter pipe allows the water to flow evenly to the evaporator cooled by the low-temperature liquid refrigerant. The water is cooled to the freezing point, and the water cooled to the freezing point will solidify into ice, while the water that is not frozen by the evaporator flows into the water storage tank again and restarts the circulation through the water pump. When the ice reaches the required thickness, it enters the defrosting state, and the high-pressure hot air discharged from the compressor is diverted to the evaporator through the reversing valve to replace the low-temperature liquid refrigerant. In this way, a layer of water film is formed between the ice and the evaporator. This layer of water film causes the ice to separate from the evaporator, and the ice falls freely into the ice storage tank below by gravity.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 219415335U discloses a fully automatic ice maker, including a fully automatic ice maker and a screening mechanism, wherein the upper drawer of the screening mechanism screens ice cubes through a leaking hole to a middle drawer, and the middle drawer filters crushed ice and water to a bottom drawer, thereby completing the screening; however, when ice cubes fall into the upper drawer, they are easily piled up, so that the ice cubes cannot be screened smoothly through the leaking hole. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an ice maker with a drawer-type water tank to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] An ice maker with a drawer-type water tank comprises an ice maker body and an ice discharging chamber, wherein the ice discharging chamber is slidably connected with a first drawer and a second drawer, wherein the first drawer and the second drawer are both provided with leakage holes, wherein the ice discharging chamber is provided with a discharge funnel above the first drawer, wherein the discharge funnel is provided with a connecting column, wherein a screening motor and an electric telescopic arm are installed on the connecting column, wherein an upper stirring shaft is fixedly connected to an output end of the screening motor, wherein a lower stirring shaft is slidably sleeved with the upper stirring shaft, wherein the lower stirring shaft is fixedly connected with a stirring blade, wherein a disc is rotatably sleeved with the lower stirring shaft, and wherein the disc is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic arm;

[0006] The electric telescopic arm extends downward, the disc and the lower stirring shaft move downward, and the electric telescopic arm contracts upward, the disc and the lower stirring shaft move upward.

[0007] Furthermore, the ice discharging chamber is slidably connected to a third drawer below the second drawer.

[0008] Furthermore, the first drawer, the second drawer and the third drawer are all provided with handles.

[0009] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0010] The electric telescopic arm is in an extended state, the overall length of the upper stirring shaft and the lower stirring shaft is relatively long, and the stirring blades are close to the bottom plate of the first drawer. Driven by the screening motor, the upper stirring shaft rotates slowly, driving the lower stirring shaft and the stirring blades to rotate synchronously, slowly stirring the accumulated ice cubes to prevent the accumulation of ice cubes and affect the smooth screening.
