Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Ice makers are now widely used in the catering industry or in general household refrigerators. An ice maker has at least an ice box and a water inlet mechanism. The water inlet mechanism is connected to a water source to supply water to the ice box, waiting for the water in the ice box to freeze into ice cubes, and then re-introducing water to repeat the freezing process after the frozen ice cubes are removed.

[0003] However, when the existing ice maker is in use, the water source connected to the water inlet is in a normally open state, and the automatic ice making effect is achieved by controlling the closure through the internal structure of the ice maker. When the water pipe is separated from the water inlet of the ice maker, water will flow out directly through the pipe, thereby affecting the surrounding environment and wasting water resources. Therefore, we propose an ice maker water inlet structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The connector is inserted into the outside of the water inlet pipe for connection, and then the blocking rod is separated from the through hole, so that water can enter the interior of the ice maker body through the through hole to complete ice making. When the connector is separated from the water inlet pipe, the blocking rod can block and seal the through hole to prevent water loss.

[0008] Preferably, a sealing gasket is provided inside the connector, and the diameter of the sealing gasket and the water inlet pipe are adapted to each other;

[0009] The sealing gasket can be squeezed when the connector is inserted outside the water inlet pipe, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the connector and the water inlet pipe.

[0017] When the connector is inserted into the water inlet pipe, the threaded rod can be embedded in the threaded hole. Then, by rotating the transmission gear, the threaded rod can drive the threaded hole and the connector to descend as a whole, so that the water inlet pipe can better squeeze and seal the sealing gasket.

[0018] Preferably, a rotating ring is movably provided at the top of the ice maker body, the rotating ring is sleeved on the outside of the plurality of transmission gears, and the inner wall of the rotating ring is meshed with the transmission gears;

[0019] By rotating the rotating ring, the rotating ring can drive the transmission gear to rotate, so that multiple groups of transmission gears rotate synchronously, making the rotation of the transmission gear more convenient.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] 1.
