[0038] Specifically, the first mold cavity 22, the second mold cavity 23, the third mold cavity 31, and the fourth mold cavity 41 are all set to a semi-cylindrical structure. Of course, it can also be set to other geometric shapes, which are set according to the required shape of ice making and are not limited here.

The ports that are not needed can be blocked with water plugs. Moreover, the water inlet end of the water inlet channel 24 and the water outlet end of the water outlet channel 25 are staggered and are respectively located on both sides of the mold body 21, which is convenient for driving more water flow and improving the ice making quality.

[0041] Specifically, the mold body 21 is also provided with a plurality of through holes 211 and a plurality of sealing plugs 29. Each water inlet hole 26 or water outlet hole 27 is correspondingly provided with a through hole 211. One end of the through hole 211 is connected to the outside, and the other end of the through hole 211 is connected to the corresponding water inlet channel 24 or water outlet channel 25.

[0043] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 The evaporation tube 5 is placed inside the middle mold 2 and connected as a whole.

The evaporation tube 5 is set between the two groups of water inlet channels 24 and water outlet channels 25, and is staggered up and down, with a compact structure and reasonable use of space.

[0044] Specifically, the diameter of the evaporation tube 5 is larger than the diameters of the water inlet channel 24 and the water outlet channel 25. The section of the evaporation tube 5 parallel to the water inlet channel 24 and the water outlet channel 25 is located outside the corresponding two groups of water inlet channels 24 and the water outlet channels 25, so as to reasonably utilize the space and improve the refrigeration efficiency.

[0045] The evaporation tube 5 is staggered with the first mold cavity 22 and the second mold cavity 23. A U-shaped groove is formed between two adjacent bent ends of the evaporation tube 5, and the first mold cavity 22 and the second mold cavity 23 are both located in the U-shaped groove, which has a compact structure and reduces the space occupied by the equipment. In addition, evaporation tubes 5 are arranged on both sides of the outer periphery of each ice-making cavity for refrigeration.

[0046] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3The transparent ice making device 1 further comprises two groups of heating sheets 6. One group of heating sheets 6 is fixedly connected to a side of the mold body 21 where the water inlet channel 24 is provided, and the other group of heating sheets 6 is fixedly connected to a side of the mold body 21 where the water outlet channel 25 is provided. After ice making is completed, the heating sheets 6 heat and melt the ice blocks blocked in the water inlet channel 24 and the water outlet channel 25, thereby improving the efficiency of ice removal.

[0047] During the ice-making process of the evaporating tube 5, water enters the ice-making chamber from the lower part or any position of the ice-making chamber through the water inlet channel 24 and the water inlet hole 26, and overflows through the water outlet hole 27 and the water outlet channel 25 at the upper part of the ice-making chamber to form an uninterrupted water flow, which can discharge the gas in the water, and the ice cubes formed are highly transparent. The elastic pads 28 at both ends of the ice-making chamber can release the stress generated by the increase in volume when the water forms ice, and the ice cubes produced will not burst. After the ice-making is completed, the heating plate 6 heats and melts the ice cubes blocked in the water inlet channel 24 and the water outlet channel 25, thereby accelerating the ice-removing efficiency. After the ice-removing is completed, the next cycle of ice-making begins.
