Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making equipment, and more specifically to an improved ice tray ejecting mechanism of an ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] Ice trays are tools frequently used in the field of ice making. Water is poured into the ice tray and the water is frozen by cooling to form ice cubes. The formed ice cubes need to be ejected from the ice tray by an ejector mechanism. However, the existing ejector mechanisms on the market are too crudely designed, inconvenient to eject the ice cubes, and no elastic buffer mechanism is provided. If the ice cubes have not melted in the ice tray to the state of ejector push, the ejector mechanism will continue to operate, which may easily damage the entire ejector mechanism. In addition, it is inconvenient to adjust the ejection force according to ice makers of different sizes, and it is impossible to make the ejector slide bar operate more smoothly and durable. For this reason, we have launched the following device. Utility Model Content

[0014] Beneficial Effects

[0015] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The improved mechanism for ejecting the ice tray of the ice maker is provided with a driving mechanism, an elastic mechanism and an ejecting mechanism. When it is necessary to eject the ice cubes in the ice tray, people control the operation of the motor through the control switch, thereby driving the worm to rotate, and the rotation of the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate. Under the cooperation of the worm and the worm wheel, the elliptical block is driven to rotate, thereby repeatedly pushing the first fixed plate, the first fixed plate squeezes the first spring, thereby pushing the second fixed plate and the third fixed plate, and under the cooperation of the second spring and the limit plate, the ejection slide bar is driven to repeatedly eject the ice cubes. This setting is more convenient for people to eject the ice cubes in the ice tray, and when the ice cubes have not melted to the ejection state, the ejection force of the elliptical block can be absorbed by the first spring buffer. This setting is more reasonable for ejecting the ice cubes, and the buffering elastic mechanism is added to avoid the problem that the overall mechanism is damaged due to the continuous operation of the ejection mechanism when the ice cubes have not melted.

[0017] 2. The improved ice tray ejection mechanism of the ice maker is provided with a fixing mechanism. When the ejection force is adjusted according to ice makers of different sizes, the telescopic rod is moved inward by pressing the stop block, and the third spring is compressed inward by the limit block. The inward movement of the telescopic rod drives the block to move, so that the block is disengaged from the slot in the card block, so that the elastic mechanism is removed and replaced with an elastic mechanism with suitable elasticity. Elastic mechanisms with different elasticities have different buffering effects on the ejection force, thereby achieving the adjustment of the ejection force. This setting is more convenient for adjusting the ejection force according to ice makers of different sizes, and can make the ejection slide bar operate more smoothly and durable, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
