If the household purchases an ice maker and a water purifier separately, it can only meet the needs of obtaining ice cubes and purified water at room temperature. However, if ice water is needed, the ice maker and the water purifier must be used in combination, which is very inconvenient to operate, and sufficient space must be laid for laying pipes to connect the ice maker and the water purifier, resulting in poor effect of using the two separate machines together.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the utility model is a two-in-one unit of an ice maker and a water purifier, comprising a chassis 1, on which an ice maker 2 and a water purifier 3 are fixedly mounted, and a water inlet connector 4 is embedded on one side of the chassis 1. The two-in-one unit of the present application is to install the ice maker 2 and the water purifier 3 together on the chassis 1 for use, and occupies a small space. The two-in-one unit can meet the functional requirements of ice making, ice water and room temperature purified water output, thereby achieving a refined management effect.

[0029] The water purifier 3 includes a water purification container 30 with a filter element and an ice container 31. The inlet end of the water purification container 30 with a filter element is connected to the water inlet joint 4 through a pipeline, and the outlet end is connected to three shunt branches. The three shunt branches are used to realize the functional requirements of the two-in-one unit for obtaining ice making, cooling water purification and normal temperature water purification.

[0030] Among them, the outlet end of the water purification container with filter cartridge 30 is connected to the normal temperature water switch 6 through a shunt branch; the outlet end of the water purification container with filter cartridge 30 is connected to the inlet end of the ice container 31 through a shunt branch, and the outlet end of the ice container 31 is connected to the ice water switch 5 through a pipeline; the outlet end of the water purification container with filter cartridge 30 is connected to the ice maker 2 through a shunt branch.

[0031] When the ice maker 2 and the water purifier 3 are used in combination, it is convenient to replenish water from the water inlet joint 4 embedded in the chassis 1, and the incoming water is transported to the water purification container 30 with a filter element. The water purification container 30 with a filter element allows the incoming water to be filtered by the filter element for impurities to obtain clean water output, and the clean water is directly output to the normal temperature water switch 6 through a shunt branch, so as to obtain the normal temperature purified water demand, and the clean water is output to the ice maker 2 through a shunt branch, so as to obtain the ice making demand, and the clean water is output to the ice tank container 31 through a shunt branch for cooling and cooling, so as to obtain the ice water demand; the two-in-one unit of the present application has a low cost, and multiple functions can be realized on one machine of the two-in-one unit, so that the ice maker 2 and the water purifier 3 can be used in combination, and the operation is very convenient. Compared with combining several functional machines purchased separately, the cost investment is low.

[0032] In this specific embodiment, the ice maker 2 is provided with a refrigeration system, which 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, and the outlet end of the water purification container 30 with a filter element is connected to the position of the ice-making evaporator 22 through a shunt branch. 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 rapid ice making of the ice maker 2. 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 vapor state, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser Component 21, compressor component 20 is the core component of ice maker 2, which mainly provides continuous power for ice maker 2 and allows the refrigeration system to work in a reciprocating cycle; compressor component 20 generates high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant which enters condenser component 21. Condenser component 21 is used to dissipate heat and eliminate excess heat, and cool the high-temperature and high-pressure vapor 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-making machine 2. The refrigeration evaporator is an important component of the ice-making machine 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 component 20.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, the ice-making evaporator 22 is connected to the cooling evaporator 311 in the ice container 31 through the branch pipe 1 7, and the cooling evaporator 311 is connected to the compressor assembly 20 through the branch pipe 2 8. The excess liquid refrigerant quickly evaporates the gaseous refrigerant under the action of the cooling evaporator 311 and absorbs heat, so that the water flowing into the ice container 31 is quickly cooled down, so that the water purifier 3 can obtain ice water, and the cooling evaporator 311 returns the generated low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant to the compressor assembly 20 through the branch pipe 2 8, 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 energy consumption of the combination of the ice maker 2 and the water purifier 3 is lower.

[0034] In this specific embodiment, the cooling evaporator 311 is a spiral tube, which is wound around the internal cooling tube core 310 in the ice tank container 31. The cooling evaporator 311 uses a spiral tube to increase the contact area with the ice tank, so that when the cooling evaporator 311 is working, it can quickly absorb heat and evaporate the water in the ice tank, thereby accelerating the efficiency of producing cooling water in the water purifier 3.

[0035] In this specific embodiment, the cooling water in the ice container 31 is connected to the ice-making evaporator 22 through a pipeline. The cooling water in the ice container 31 can be transported to the ice-making evaporator 22 to absorb heat. The low-temperature condensed water can accelerate the ice-making efficiency under the action of the ice-making evaporator 22.

[0036] In this specific embodiment, the ice maker 2 includes an ice basket 23 and an ice scraping assembly 24 . The ice scraping assembly 24 is used to peel the ice cubes produced by the ice maker 2 into the ice basket 23 , so as to facilitate collecting the ice produced by the ice maker 2 in the ice basket 23 .

[0037] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
