Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to a split multifunctional ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a device used to produce ice cubes. Its function is to convert water into ice cubes for use in commercial and home environments. Its structure includes components such as a water tank, an ice-making chamber, an ice-making mold, a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a control panel. The refrigeration cycle system is the core of the ice maker. Through components such as the compressor, the condenser, and the evaporator, the refrigerant circulates between high-pressure and low-pressure states, thereby absorbing heat and causing the water to freeze quickly. The control system adjusts the working mode and parameters of the ice maker, including working time, temperature, and ice size, through the settings on the control panel to meet different needs;

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides an embodiment: a split multifunctional ice maker, comprising an ice maker body 1 and a cavity 3 arranged inside the ice maker body 1, a door panel 2 is installed at the top opening position of the ice maker body 1 through a hinge, and lower grooves 5 that are interconnected with the cavity 3 are arranged on both inner walls of the ice maker body 1, a T-seat 6 is fixed at one end of the lower groove 5, a circular frame 7 is slidably and detachably installed on the outer wall of one side of the T-seat 6 through a double-track guide structure 10, a storage ice 4 is fixed between the two circular frames 7, a rotating driving member 8 is arranged on the outer wall of the other side of the T-seat 6, a gear rack lifting structure 9 that drives the circular frame 7 and the storage ice 4 to rise and fall is installed at the output end of the rotating driving member 8, and a motor controller 11 electrically connected to the input end of the rotating driving member 8 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the ice maker body 1;

[0022] Both sides of the bottom of the ice storage bin 4 are equipped with foot support plates 401, which improve the placement stability of the ice storage bin 4. The two foot support plates 401 are symmetrical about the vertical center reference plane of the ice storage bin 4. The outer eaves on both sides of the top of the ice storage bin 4 are equipped with oblique support plates 402, which facilitate the staff to apply force to the ice storage bin 4 through the oblique support plates 402;

[0023] An ice outlet is provided on the inner wall of one side of the ice maker body 1, and a rectangular hollow portion connected to the ice outlet is provided on one side of the back of the ice storage bin 4, and ice cubes produced by the ice maker body 1 enter the ice storage bin 4 through the ice outlet;

[0024] Two connecting ears 701 are integrally formed on the outer wall of one side of the circular frame 7. One end of the connecting ear 701 away from the circular frame 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the ice storage bin 4. The design of the connecting ear 701 firmly fixes the ice storage bin 4 on the circular frame 7.

[0025] The rotary drive member 8 adopts a servo motor, which is driven by the motor controller 11 and the servo motor to achieve precise control of the lifting process of the ice storage bin 4, making the entire lifting process automatic;

[0026] When the rotating driving member 8 adopts a servo motor, the motor controller 11 controls the servo motor to work according to the set direction, speed, angle, and response time, thereby driving the ice storage bin 4 to move up and down, and the separated ice storage bin 4 can directly dump the ice cubes, which reduces the process of manual contact with the ice cubes and reduces the possibility of external contamination;

[0027] The gear rack lifting structure 9 includes a driving bevel gear installed on the output end of the servo motor, and a bevel rack fixed on the outer wall of one side of the circular vertical frame 7. The bevel rack and the driving bevel gear are meshed with each other. The servo motor drives the driving bevel gear to rotate, and the driving bevel gear drives the bevel rack, the circular vertical frame 7, the connecting ear 701 and the ice storage bin 4 to move upward. The meshing strength and fit between the driving bevel gear and the bevel rack are high, so that the ice storage bin 4 can be stably driven to rise.

[0028] The double-track guide structure 10 includes two sliding sleeves fixed on the outer wall of one side of the T-seat 6, and a dovetail guide rail slidably installed in the two sliding sleeves. The outer wall of one side of the dovetail guide rail is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the circular vertical frame 7. During the lifting and sliding of the circular vertical frame 7 and the ice storage bin 4, the sliding sleeve is fixed to the T-seat 6, and the dovetail guide rail is slidably connected to the sliding sleeve. The double dovetail guide rails can ensure that the ice storage bin 4 maintains a stable position and direction during the lifting and sliding process, effectively avoiding the instability caused by shaking or deviation during the lifting process, thereby ensuring that the ice storage bin 4 can accurately move along the predetermined track during the lifting process.

[0029] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, first, the ice cubes produced by the ice maker body 1 enter the ice storage bin 4 through the ice outlet. When the user needs to take a large number of ice cubes in the ice storage bin 4 at one time, the user turns on the rotary drive member 8 through the motor controller 11 to work. During this process, the rotary power of the rotary drive member 8 is transmitted to the gear rack lifting structure 9, and the gear rack lifting structure 9 is used to drive the circular frame 7 and the ice storage bin 4 to move upward in the Z-axis direction, and then the ice storage bin 4 is partially moved out of the ice maker body 1. When the ice storage bin 4 is lifted a distance, the user supports the ice storage bin 4 with both hands and applies force to it, and moves the ice storage bin 4 out of the ice maker body 1. The ice cubes can be completely pulled out of the ice maker body 1 and then dumped out, so that the ice cubes are poured out in batches. After the ice cubes are poured out, the user can reassemble the ice storage bin 4 into the ice maker body 1 according to the reverse steps. The electric lifting and split ice storage bin 4 are adopted. The user does not need to manually operate during the lifting process, and the box can be taken out only through the motor controller 11, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the user. The separated ice storage bin 4 can be directly dumped out of the ice cubes, so that the ice cubes can be taken out more quickly, and the efficiency of ice taking is improved. Especially in an environment where ice cubes need to be taken out frequently, this method can save a lot of time and improve work efficiency.
