AI Technical Summary
When the existing ice maker water cooling mechanism replaces silicon grease many times, it is easy to cause spring fatigue, which makes the thermal blocks unable to fit closely with the circuit board, reducing the cooling effect.
A variable frequency water cooling mechanism is designed. By threading the threaded column on the mounting plate and setting the connecting plate and the spring, the pressure of the spring is adjusted by rotating the threaded column to control the fitting density between the water-cooled heat conducting block and the circuit board.
The adjustment of the fitting density of the water-cooled heat conducting block and the circuit board is achieved, avoiding the reduction of heat dissipation effect caused by insufficient bonding, and maintaining the convenience of operation when replacing the silicone grease.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0020] The present application embodiment discloses a variable frequency water cooling mechanism for an ice maker.

[0021] Here, by rotating multiple threaded columns 4 in the forward direction, the threaded columns 4 move downward, so that the spring 5 can be squeezed, and the spring 5 squeezes the connecting plate 6, so that the water-cooled heat-conducting block 7 can fit tightly on the circuit board 31 to dissipate heat from the circuit board 31. Secondly, the device can reduce the pressure on the spring 5 by rotating the threaded columns 4 in the reverse direction, and the threaded columns 4 move upward. At this time, the connecting plate 6 can be moved upward to separate the water-cooled heat-conducting block 7 from the circuit board 31, thereby facilitating the application of silicone grease, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 A handle 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting plate 6 , and the handle 8 is arranged above the water-cooled heat-conducting block 7 .
[0023] Here, a handle 8 is provided so that the connecting plate 6 can be pulled to drive the water-cooled heat-conducting block 7 to move upward.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 The water tank 9 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the ice maker body 1 .
[0025] Here, the stability of the water tank 9 can be improved.
[0026] Reference Figure 3A support assembly 11 is provided at the bottom of the ice maker body 1. The support assembly 11 includes a threaded sleeve 12 fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the ice maker body 1. The internal thread of the threaded sleeve 12 is connected with a threaded support foot 13.
[0027] Here, by providing the threaded sleeve 12 and the threaded support leg 13, the threaded support leg 13 can be rotated according to the terrain to support the ice maker body 1 horizontally.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 A non-slip pad 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the threaded support foot 13, and the non-slip pad 14 is made of rubber material.
[0029] Here, an anti-skid pad 14 is installed at the bottom of the threaded support foot 13 so that the ice maker body 1 can be stably supported.
[0030] The implementation principle of the variable frequency water cooling mechanism for an ice maker in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: during use, when it is necessary to apply silicone grease to the connection between the water-cooled heat-conducting block 7 and the circuit board 31, the threaded column 4 can be rotated in the opposite direction, and the threaded column 4 can be moved upward to reduce the pressure on the spring 5. At this time, the handle 8 can be pulled, and the handle 8 can drive the connecting plate 6 to move upward, so that the water-cooled heat-conducting block 7 is separated from the circuit board 31, thereby facilitating the application of silicone grease. After the application is completed, the handle 8 is released. At this time, the connecting plate 6 will drive the water-cooled heat-conducting block 7 close to the circuit board 31 under the action of the elastic force of the spring 5, and then the threaded column 4 can be rotated, and the threaded column 4 can be moved downward to squeeze the spring 5, so that the connecting plate 6 and the water-cooled heat sink can fit tightly with the circuit board 31.
