Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of evaporator accessories, and in particular relates to a water inlet and exhaust structure of an evaporator of a commercial ice-making machine. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It uses a refrigeration system and water as a carrier to produce ice when powered on. It is widely used in industrial and household fields.

[0003] The existing ice machine evaporator usually allows water to directly enter the interior of the structure and then be discharged through the drainage hole. When the water is in the evaporator, certain bubbles may be generated, which may affect the normal use of the evaporator or damage the evaporator. Usually, a defoaming agent is poured into the water and mixed with the bubbles in the water by stirring. However, the existing single-axis stirring method takes a long time to defoam, resulting in low defoaming efficiency.

[0004] To this end, we propose a commercial ice machine evaporator water inlet and exhaust structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A water inlet and exhaust structure for an evaporator of a commercial ice-making machine comprises a water tank 1, a box plate 2 is rotatably mounted on one side of the top surface of the water tank 1, a defoaming agent is poured into the water tank 1 by opening the box plate 2, a water inlet pipe 4 communicating with the inside is arranged at a corner of the top surface of the water tank 1, a water outlet pipe 5 is arranged at a lower end of one side of the water tank 1, a main shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top surface of the water tank 1, a plurality of round rods 13 are fixedly connected to the main shaft 7, a motor 3 connected to the main shaft 7 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the water tank 1, the main shaft 7 is driven to rotate by the motor 3, the rotation of the main shaft 7 mixes the defoaming agent poured into the water tank 1, and the upper and lower ends of the main shaft 7 They are all fixedly connected with a connecting plate 11, and a stirring piece for fully mixing the defoaming agent and water in the water tank 1 is provided between the two connecting plates 11 on the same side. A driving assembly for driving the stirring pieces on both sides to rotate is provided at the top of the main shaft 7. By pouring the defoaming agent into the water tank 1, the main shaft 7 is driven to rotate by the motor 3, and the rotation of the main shaft 7 drives the round rod 13 on the main shaft 7 to fully mix the defoaming agent poured into the water tank 1. When the main shaft 7 rotates, the stirring pieces on the connecting plates 11 on both sides of the main shaft 7 are driven to rotate by the driving assembly, so that the defoaming agent in the water tank 1 and the bubbles in the water tank 1 are fully mixed, thereby improving the defoaming efficiency.

[0022] Reference Figure 4 The stirring member includes a plurality of supporting rods 12, a connecting shaft 8 is rotatably installed between two connecting plates 11 on the same side, and a plurality of supporting rods 12 are arranged on the connecting shaft 8 in a linear array. The defoaming agent in the water tank 1 is mixed by the supporting rods 12 on the connecting shaft 8.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 The round rods 13 on the main shaft 7 and the supporting rods 12 on the connecting shafts 8 on both sides are arranged alternately. When the main shaft 7 and the connecting shaft 8 rotate, the round rods 13 on the main shaft 7 and the supporting rods 12 on the connecting shaft 8 do not affect each other.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 The driving assembly includes a main gear 9 and two slave gears 10. The main gear 9 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 7 between the inner wall of the water tank 1 and the connecting plate 11. The two slave gears 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft 8. The main gear 9 is respectively engaged with the slave gears 10 on both sides. Through the rotation of the main shaft 7, the main gear 9 on the main shaft 7 also rotates. Since the rotation of the main gear 9 is engaged with the slave gears 10, the rotation of the slave gears 10 drives the connecting shaft 8 to rotate synchronously, and the support rod 12 on the connecting shaft 8 rotates to accelerate the mixing of the defoaming agent in the water tank 1.

[0025] Reference Figure 4The diameter of the main gear 9 is larger than the diameter of the slave gears 10 on both sides. The main gear 9 and the slave gears 10 are in differential motion, which speeds up the rotation speed of the connecting shaft 8 and improves the mixing effect.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 An air hole 14 communicating with the interior is opened on one side of the top surface of the water tank 1, and the air in the water tank 1 is discharged from the water tank 1 through the air hole 14. A protective grille 6 covering the outside of the air hole 14 is provided on the top surface of the water tank 1 to prevent debris from falling into the water tank 1.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] Open the box plate 2 on the top of the water tank 1, and then pour the defoaming agent into the water tank 1. The main shaft 7 is driven to rotate by the motor 3. The rotation of the main shaft 7 will drive the round rod 13 to rotate. At the same time, the main gear 9 on the main shaft 7 is meshed with the slave gear 10 on the connecting shaft 8, and the connecting shaft 8 is synchronously driven to rotate. The support rod 12 on the connecting shaft 8 also rotates. At the same time, the main gear 9 and the slave gear 10 are differential motions, which increases the rotation speed of the connecting shaft 8. The defoaming agent in the water tank 1 is fully mixed by the round rod 13 and the support rod 12, and the mixing efficiency is improved.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
