Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice-making equipment, in particular to an ice-making machine with a detachable water inlet component. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that cools water through an evaporator and a refrigerant to generate ice. It uses a refrigeration machine and water as a carrier to make ice when the machine is powered on. Most existing ice makers have an open top structure, and ice is taken out and water is replenished by opening the top cover. This method of replenishing water is more troublesome. At the same time, when opening the top cover to replenish water and take ice, foreign matter will inevitably be brought in, causing pollution to the inside of the ice maker and affecting the quality of the prepared ice. At this time, a water inlet component (commonly known as a smart seat) is provided on the upper end face of the ice maker to directly connect to an external water source to achieve water replenishment and prevent pollution.

[0003] But the problem is that for small-sized commercial ice makers on the market, in order to ensure the ice-making space inside the product and thus reduce the encroachment of the water inlet assembly (commonly known as the smart seat) on the internal space of the ice maker, while the water inlet assembly (commonly known as the smart seat) is fixed to the upper end surface of the equipment outer shell, the water inlet assembly (commonly known as the smart seat) is arranged as a whole to the outside of the upper end of the ice maker outer shell, and the height of the water inlet assembly (commonly known as the smart seat) occupies a large proportion of the overall height of the equipment (that is, the height of the smart seat is higher), resulting in the overall height of the ice maker becoming higher. Therefore, when the equipment is packaged for loading, the water inlet assembly (commonly known as the smart seat) is arranged as a whole to the outside of the upper end of the ice maker shell, resulting in a waste of space on the upper part of the cabinet, resulting in a small number of cabinets loaded, low transportation efficiency and high cost.
