Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage production equipment production, and relates to an ice maker with a built-in drainage mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Due to the melting of ice cubes and the splashing of water during ice making, water accumulates between the ice cubes inside the ice maker. The accumulated water condenses and connects between the ice cubes, causing condensation on the surface of the ice cubes, reducing their transparency. The ice cubes are difficult to separate, and they need to be broken manually when taking out the ice, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the ice cubes and an increase in labor. Therefore, the accumulated water needs to be discharged in real time to solve the above problems.
[0003] In the prior art, the ice machine drainage method is to drain water directly into the sewer by gravity. However, when the ice machine is located at a low position or far from the sewer, it will be difficult to drain it completely directly, and it will easily breed other microorganisms, which is not good for the health of users. The external drainage pump will increase the customer's investment, and the water pump needs to be manually operated and controlled, which has the disadvantages of high cost, complex structure, and inconvenient operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an ice maker with a built-in drainage mechanism to solve the above problems in the existing technology, so as to enable it to automatically drain the accumulated water in the inner tank in time, thereby improving the user experience and ensuring the safety and hygiene of the ice cubes therein.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an ice maker with a built-in drainage mechanism, characterized in that the ice maker includes a shell, an inner tank, a drainage mechanism and a refrigeration mechanism; the drainage mechanism includes a water outlet joint, a drainage pump, a one-way valve and a drainage joint arranged at the bottom of the inner tank; water pipes are provided between the water outlet joint and the water inlet end of the drainage pump, and between the water outlet end of the drainage pump and the water inlet end of the one-way valve for conduction connection; the water outlet end of the one-way valve is conduction connected with the drainage joint.
[0006] The utility model has the advantages:
[0007] 1. This ice maker has a built-in drainage mechanism, so that the accumulated water in its inner tank can be discharged in time, and when it is located at a low position or far away from the sewer, the drainage pump inside it can drain the residual water.
[0008] 2. The drainage mechanism of the ice maker is equipped with a one-way valve, which can effectively prevent the backflow of external water and thus contamination of the ice cubes, and can further ensure the sanitation and safety of the ice cubes in the ice maker. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0013] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an ice maker with a built-in drainage mechanism includes a shell 1, an inner tank 2, a drainage mechanism and a refrigeration mechanism; the drainage mechanism includes a water outlet joint 31, a drainage pump 32, a one-way valve 33 and a drainage joint 34 arranged at the bottom of the inner tank 2; water pipes 35 are provided between the water outlet joint 31 and the water inlet end of the drainage pump 32, and between the water outlet end of the drainage pump 32 and the water inlet end of the one-way valve 33 to conduct and connect them; the water outlet end of the one-way valve 33 is conduction-connected to the drainage joint 34.
[0014] The ice maker has a built-in drainage mechanism, so when water accumulates in the inner tank 2, it will automatically flow from the drainage pipe at the bottom of the inner tank 2 to the drainage mechanism, and finally be discharged from the drainage joint 34. When the ice maker is located at a lower position or far from the sewer, we can connect a water pipe 35 to the drainage joint 34 to lead the water to the sewer. At this time, the gravity will not be enough to drain the water, so we can start the drainage pump 32 to force the drainage, thereby avoiding water residue in the drainage mechanism, thereby breeding microorganisms and contaminating ice cubes. In addition, a one-way valve 33 is provided in the drainage mechanism of the ice maker, which can effectively prevent the external water from flowing back and causing contamination to the ice cubes, and can further ensure the sanitation and safety of the ice cubes in the ice maker.
[0015] We can also set up a control module in the ice maker so that it can control the water pump to start at a scheduled time, and then automatically drain the water at a scheduled time. The user does not need to manage it at all, thereby improving the user experience.
[0016] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
