Abstract
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 water filtering device. 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. The method of making flake ice using a flake ice maker is that the refrigerant exchanges heat with the rotating cylinder inside the cylinder. The water used for ice making continuously adheres to the rotating cylinder and quickly cools into ice, which is then shoveled under the ice blade installed on the outside of the cylinder to form flake ice.
[0003] Existing ice machines generally use tap water as raw material. There are more or less impurities in the tap water. If these impurities are not intercepted, the quality of the produced ice will be affected. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, a motor three is fixedly mounted on one side of the top outer wall of the moving rod, a cam is coaxially fixed on the rotating shaft of the motor three, the cam is in contact with the outer wall of one side of the brush, a spring is fixedly mounted on the other side of the top outer wall of the moving rod, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other side of the brush.
[0007] The water entering the box body can be filtered once, so as to avoid that the quality of the produced ice will not be affected by the impurities in the water, and the filter element can be continuously cleaned, which is beneficial to maintaining the filtering efficiency. Water is poured inward from the top of the box body. After the water contacts the filter element, the impurities in it will be intercepted, and the remaining water will pass through the filter element and fall to the bottom of the box body. When the impurities increase, just start motor 2, motor 2 drives the reciprocating screw to rotate in the box body, and the brush restricted by the limit rod will be driven to reciprocate by the reciprocating screw rod, and the brush can sweep the impurities accumulated on the surface of the filter element to both sides. During this period, start motor 3 at the same time, and the motor 3 shaft drives the cam to rotate. When the raised part of the cam contacts the outer wall of the brush, it will overcome the thrust of the spring and move to one side. When the raised part no longer contacts the outer wall of the brush, the spring will restore the brush to its original position, thereby further increasing the cleaning effect.

[0010] The water in the box is pumped into the water storage tank through the pump body, and the evaporator and motor 1 are started at the same time. The evaporator can condense the water attached to its surface into ice, and the evaporator will also be driven by motor 1 to rotate. When the frozen part contacts the scraper, the ice on its surface will be scraped off by the scraper and then fall into the storage box, thus continuing.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, a storage box is placed at the bottom of the box body, and the storage box is located directly below the scraper.
[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, a sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of one side of the filter element, and the sealing ring can fit in contact with the outer wall of the box body.

[0014] The utility model can filter the water entering the box body once by arranging the filter assembly, so as to avoid that the quality of the produced ice will not be affected by the impurities in the water, and can also continuously clean the filter element, which is beneficial to maintaining the filtering efficiency. When water is poured inwardly from the top of the box body, the impurities therein will be intercepted after the water contacts the filter element, and the remaining water will pass through the filter element and fall to the bottom of the box body. When the impurities increase, only the second motor is started, and the second motor drives the reciprocating screw rod to rotate in the box body, and the brush restricted by the limit rod will be driven to reciprocate by the reciprocating screw rod, and the brush can sweep the impurities accumulated on the surface of the filter element to both sides.
