DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 Shown

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, an ice making structure of a vehicle refrigerator is disclosed.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: the vehicle refrigerator 1 includes a refrigerating box body 2 and an ice making box body 3, wherein the ice making box body 3 is provided with an ice making mechanism 4, the refrigerating box body 2 is provided with a refrigerating box cover 21, and the ice making box body 3 is provided with an ice making box cover 31.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, below the ice-making mechanism 4 is the installation space for the cooling source, the compressor 8 and the radiator 9 are respectively arranged on the frame at the bottom of the vehicle refrigerator 1, and the frame at the bottom of the vehicle refrigerator 1 is circumferentially provided with heat dissipation holes, and the compressor 8 and the radiator 9 provide cooling gas for the cold storage box 2 and the refrigerator box 3.

[0036] like Figure 7 As shown: the ice-making mechanism 4 includes an ice-making chamber 41, an ice-storing chamber 42 and a water storage tank 43. The ice-making chamber 41 and the ice-storing chamber 42 are located above the water storage tank 43. An ice-making device 5 is provided in the ice-making chamber 41. An ice-delivering device 6 is provided between the ice-making device 5 and the ice-storing chamber 42. After the ice-making device 5 completes ice making, the ice cubes are transferred to the ice-storing chamber 42 through the ice-delivering device 6.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown: the ice-making chamber 41 and the ice-storing chamber 42 are both provided with a leaking hole 40, which is circular or long; the water storage tank 43 is provided with a water outlet pipe 431 at the bottom, and multiple water outlet pipes 431 are provided, which are merged and concentrated through pipelines, and finally the water outlet pipe 431 is connected to the water pump 7, and the water pump 7 is connected to the water supply pipe 71, and the water supply pipe 71 supplies water to the ice-making device. Through the leaking holes 40 provided at the bottom of the ice-making chamber 41 and the ice-storing chamber 42, the water inside is first stored in the water storage tank 43, and then circulated through the water outlet pipe 431, the water pump 7 and the water supply pipe 71, and the overflow water in each ice-making process is collected to form a water recycling, reduce water waste, and improve water use efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, below the ice-making mechanism 4 is the installation space for the cooling source, the compressor 8 and the radiator 9 are respectively arranged on the frame at the bottom of the vehicle refrigerator 1, the frame at the bottom of the vehicle refrigerator 1 is circumferentially provided with heat dissipation holes, and the cooling pipe 52 and the heating pipe 53 are both connected to the compressor 8 and the radiator 9.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the ice-making water tank 50 are rotatably connected to the ice-making chamber 41. In order to facilitate rotation and prevent the body from touching other structures, the cross-section of the ice-making water tank 50 is set to be arc-shaped.

[0040] One end of the ice making water tank 50 is connected to a rotating motor 501 , which is hidden on the side wall of the ice making chamber 41 . The rotating motor 501 continuously rotates forward and reversely, so that the ice making water tank 50 turns over and pours ice cubes onto the ice delivery device 6 .

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the ice delivery device 6 includes a connecting plate 61 and an ice push plate 62. One end of the connecting plate 61 is hinged to the ice making water tank 50, and the other end of the connecting plate 61 is located above the ice push plate 62 and is hinged to the ice push plate 62. The rotation of the ice making water tank 50 drives the connecting plate 61, and the connecting plate 61 and the ice push plate 62 are also hinged. The ice making water tank 50 first rotates clockwise and tilts toward the connecting plate 61, and the ice moves from the connecting plate 61 to the ice push plate 62. Then the ice making water tank 50 rotates counterclockwise to lift the connecting plate 61, and the connecting plate 61 also lifts the ice push plate 62, so that the ice is transferred to the ice storage chamber 42.

[0042] In order to transfer ice cubes more conveniently, an inclined plate 411 is provided in the ice making chamber 41. The inclination of the inclined plate 411 is the moving trajectory of the end of the ice pushing plate 62, which can facilitate one end of the ice pushing plate 62 to move up and down along the inclined plate 411 to push the ice cubes to the ice storage chamber 42.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ice-making device 5 includes an ice-making water tank 50 and an ice-making mold 51, and a refrigeration pipe 52 and a heating pipe 53 are connected to the ice-making mold 51; the ice-making mold 51 includes a U-shaped tube 511, and a plurality of ice-cube shaping parts 512 are arranged under the tube body of the U-shaped tube 511. The shape of the ice-cube shaping parts 512 can be designed in various ways. In the present application, they are tubular cylinders with a spherical bottom. The bottom of each ice-cube shaping part 512 is in the ice-making water tank 50. When making ice, the ice-cube shaping parts 512 are in direct contact with the water in the ice-making water tank 50.

[0044] The ice cube shaping pieces 512 are arranged in sequence and at equal intervals along the body of the U-shaped tube 511. The U-shaped tube 511 and the ice cube shaping pieces 512 are thin-walled tubes. One end of the U-shaped tube 511 is connected to the refrigeration tube 52 and the heating tube 53, and the other end of the U-shaped tube 511 is connected to the return tube 54.

[0045] In order to save costs and improve structural strength, the U-shaped tube 511 and each ice cube shaping member 512 are an integrally formed structure. Stainless steel tubes have good thermal conductivity and are free of metal ions, so the ice-making mold 51 is a stainless steel tube.

[0046] Working principle: First, fill the ice making water tank 50, the compressor 8 and the radiator 9 produce a large amount of cold air, and circulate through the refrigeration pipe 52, and the ice making mold 51 cools down quickly. After a period of time, ice cubes are formed in the ice making water tank 50 and condensed on the ice cube shaping piece 512 of the U-shaped tube 511. After a fixed time, the compressor 8 and the radiator 9 are controlled to produce hot air, and the ice making mold 51 is quickly heated through the heating pipe 53, so that the ice cubes are cracked and separated from the ice cube shaping piece 512, and then the ice making water tank 50 is rotated. The ice making water tank 50 rotates clockwise first and moves toward the connecting pressure plate 61. The ice cubes are moved from the connecting pressure plate 61 to the ice cube pushing plate 62, and then the ice making water tank 50 rotates counterclockwise to lift the connecting pressure plate 61, and the connecting pressure plate 61 also lifts the ice cube pushing plate 62, thereby transferring the ice cubes to the ice storage chamber 42. The water generated by the melting of the intermediate ice cube storage and the water overflowing from the rotating ice making water tank 50 are retained in the water storage tank 43 through the leaking hole 40, and the water is circulated through the water outlet pipe 431, the water pump 7 and the water supply pipe 71, so that the water overflowing from each ice making process is collected to form a water recycling method, thereby reducing water waste and improving water use efficiency.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
