[0025] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model is a two-in-one cooling and ice-making evaporator unit, including an ice maker 2 and a water purifier 3. The ice maker 2 is provided with a refrigeration system. The water purifier 3 includes an ice tank 30 and a cooling evaporator 31 provided on the ice tank 30. The ice maker 2 and the water purifier 3 are installed together on a chassis 1, and the refrigeration system is connected to the cooling evaporator 31 through a pipeline.
[0026] When the ice maker 2 and the water purifier 3 are used in combination, the refrigeration system on the ice maker 2 is used to freeze the water into ice. The excess liquid refrigerant generated during the refrigeration operation of the ice maker 2 can be transported to the cooling evaporator 31 through a pipeline. The excess liquid refrigerant quickly evaporates the gaseous refrigerant under the action of the cooling evaporator 31 and absorbs heat, so that the water flowing into the ice tank 30 is quickly cooled down, so that the water purifier 3 can obtain ice water.
[0027] The two-in-one unit of cooling and ice-making evaporator 22 of the present application utilizes the refrigeration system of ice-making machine 2 to simultaneously complete the functions of ice-making and cooling water storage, so as to meet the refrigeration function requirements of ice-making machine 2 and water purifier 3, so that the combined use cost of ice-making machine 2 and water purifier 3 is relatively low; the refrigeration system of ice-making machine 2 supplies excess liquid refrigerant to water purifier 3 for cooling and water storage, so that the residual cooling energy of the refrigeration system of ice-making machine 2 can be fully utilized, so that the combined use energy consumption of ice-making machine 2 and water purifier 3 is relatively low; at the same time, the two-in-one unit of the present application is to install ice-making machine 2 and water purifier 3 together on chassis 1 for use, which occupies less space. The two-in-one unit can realize the functions of two machines, namely ice-making and cooling water purification, thereby achieving a refined management effect.
[0028] In this specific embodiment, the refrigeration system includes a compressor assembly 20, a condenser assembly 21 and an ice-making evaporator 22. The compressor assembly 20, the condenser assembly 21 and the ice-making evaporator 22 are connected in sequence through pipelines. During the operation of the refrigeration system, the compressor assembly 20, the condenser assembly 21 and the ice-making evaporator 22 form a circulating refrigeration system, which can achieve the functional effect of the ice-making machine 2 to make ice quickly. The specific operation is as follows: the compressor assembly 20 inhales the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the ice-making evaporator 22, compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous state, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser assembly 21. The compressor assembly 20 is the core component of the ice-making machine 2, and mainly Provide continuous power for the ice maker 2, so that the refrigeration system can work in a reciprocating cycle; the compressor assembly 20 generates a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant which enters the condenser assembly 21. The condenser assembly 21 is used to dissipate heat and eliminate excess heat, and cool the high-temperature and high-pressure gas into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid; the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant entering the ice-making evaporator 22 quickly evaporates the gaseous refrigerant and absorbs heat, so that the water in contact with the ice-making evaporator 22 quickly cools down and freezes, and is thus stored in the ice maker 2. The refrigeration evaporator is an important component of the ice maker 2 and is a component of the ice-making machine 2. Its function is to evaporate and make ice; the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant generated by the ice-making evaporator 22 returns to the compressor assembly 20.
[0029] In this specific embodiment, the ice-making evaporator 22 is connected to the cooling evaporator 31 through the branch pipe 1 4, and the cooling evaporator 31 is connected to the compressor assembly 20 through the branch pipe 2 5, so that the ice-making evaporator 22 supplies excess low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant to the cooling evaporator 31 through the branch pipe 1 4, and the excess liquid refrigerant quickly evaporates into gaseous refrigerant under the action of the cooling evaporator 31, and absorbs heat, so that the water flowing into the ice tank 30 is quickly cooled down, so that the water purifier 3 can obtain ice water, and the cooling evaporator 31 returns the generated low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant to the compressor assembly 20 through the branch pipe 2 5, so that the refrigeration system of the ice maker 2 and the cooling mechanism of the water purifier 3 form a closed loop, so that the residual cooling energy of the refrigeration system of the ice maker 2 can be fully utilized, so that the combined use of the ice maker 2 and the water purifier 3 has low energy consumption.
[0030] In this specific embodiment, the cooling evaporator 31 is a spiral tube, which is wound on the ice bladder 30. The cooling evaporator 31 adopts a spiral tube to increase the contact area with the ice bladder 30, so that when the cooling evaporator 31 is working, it can quickly absorb heat and evaporate the water in the ice bladder 30, thereby accelerating the efficiency of producing cooling water in the water purifier 3.
