Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to a positioning structure of a water distribution pipe of an evaporator of an ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, due to global warming, high temperatures have occurred frequently in various places, and the hot summer has increased people's demand for cooling. Ice cubes can quickly cool down and relieve summer heat, and can be used to make various cold drinks. The traditional refrigerator ice making method can no longer meet the increasing demand for ice cubes due to problems such as long time and easy odor transfer. Ice makers are products that target consumers' demand for ice cubes. Ice makers are products or equipment that use compressor refrigeration to cool water through an evaporator to make ice cubes.

[0003] The ice maker includes an ice tray and a water distribution pipe. The ice maker delivers water to the ice tray through the water distribution pipe, and then uses the evaporator to exchange heat and freeze the water in the ice tray to form ice cubes. Among them, a water distribution hole is set on the water distribution pipe, and the existing water distribution pipe is set above the ice tray. During the installation process of the water distribution pipe, the staff needs to fix it above the ice tray, and then adjust the direction of the water distribution hole so that the water distribution hole faces the ice tray below. That is, the existing water distribution pipe installation process is divided into two steps: fixing and adjusting the direction of the water distribution hole, which needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0020] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: ice tray 1, evaporation tube 2, shell 3, water distribution pipe 4, first opening 5, second opening 6, protrusion 7, positioning hole 8, water distribution hole 9, support plate 10, pipe plug 11.

[0021] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment shows a positioning structure of an evaporator water distribution pipe of an ice maker. The ice maker includes an ice tray 1, an evaporating pipe 2, a shell 3 and a water distribution pipe 4. The evaporating pipe 2 is arranged on the back of the ice tray 1, the ice tray 1 is fixed in the shell 3, and the water distribution pipe 4 is arranged above the shell 3.

[0022] The working principle of the evaporator of this embodiment is as follows: the ice maker injects water into the water distribution pipe 4, and the water flows out from the top of the shell 3 through the water distribution pipe 4 and flows downward into the ice tray 1. The refrigerant in the evaporation pipe 2 in the shell 3 continuously transfers cold energy to the water in the ice tray 1, causing it to freeze into ice cubes. After the ice cubes are formed, they fall from the ice tray 1, and the ice making work is completed.

[0023] The positioning structure includes a first opening 5 and a second opening 6 respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the housing 3. The shapes of the first opening 5 and the second opening 6 are adapted to the water distribution pipe 4. The water distribution pipe 4 is mounted on the first opening 5 and the second opening 6. A protrusion 7 is arranged in the second opening 6, and a positioning hole 8 is correspondingly arranged on the water distribution pipe 4. The positioning hole 8 cooperates with the protrusion 7; a water distribution hole 9 is arranged on the water distribution pipe 4, and both the water distribution hole 9 and the positioning hole 8 are located below the water distribution pipe 4.

[0024] When installing the water distribution pipe 4, the staff can use the cooperation of the protrusion 7 and the positioning hole 8 to quickly locate the installation position of the water distribution pipe 4, and at the same time, the water distribution hole 9 and the positioning hole 8 are both set below the water distribution pipe 4. In this way, as long as the water distribution pipe 4 is placed between the first opening 5 and the second opening 6 and the positioning hole 8 is matched with the protrusion 7, the installation of the water distribution pipe 4 is completed. There is no need to adjust the water outlet direction of the water distribution hole 9, which saves a step for the installation staff and improves the efficiency of the installation.

[0025] Support plates 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the shell 3 , the first opening 5 and the second opening 6 are arranged on the support plates 10 , and the water distribution pipe 4 is erected between the first opening 5 and the second opening 6 of the support plate 10 .

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water distribution pipe 4 is a circular pipe, and the first opening 5 and the second opening 6 are arc-shaped openings to fit the circular pipe.

[0027] A pipe plug 11 is provided at one end of the water distribution pipe 4 near the positioning hole 8, and the pipe plug 11 blocks the positioning hole 8. The pipe plug 11 is used to block the positioning hole 8 to prevent the water in the water distribution pipe 4 from flowing out of the positioning hole 8. In this embodiment, the pipe plug 11 is preferably a rubber plug.

[0028] In some embodiments, the water diversion hole 9 and the positioning hole 8 are both located at the bottom of the water diversion pipe 4. The water diversion hole 9 at the bottom is conducive to the complete discharge of water in the water diversion pipe 4; the positioning hole 8 at the bottom is conducive to its alignment and assembly with the protrusion 7.

[0029] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the utility model, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
