Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making devices, in particular to a quantitative water delivery device for ice making. 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 make ice by passing it through a certain device under power-on conditions. The shape of the ice generated will vary depending on the principle of the evaporator and the production method.

[0003] Since the templates used in existing ice making machines are generally fixed, the sizes of the ice cubes produced are also different. If you want to make ice cubes of different sizes, you need to use other types of ice making machines, which has a high manufacturing cost. Therefore, a quantitative water supply device for ice making is proposed, which can achieve the purpose of changing the size of the ice cubes produced by adjusting the amount of water supplied at one time. Utility Model Content

[0007] The amount of water poured into the temporary storage tank at one time can be controlled according to needs, so as to indirectly achieve the purpose of changing the size of ice cubes produced, which is beneficial to improving the adaptability of the device. If smaller ice cubes need to be produced, just start the motor, and the motor shaft drives the two-way screw to rotate in the temporary storage tank. Under the drive of the two-way screw and the cooperation of the limit rod, the two mounting blocks will approach each other, and the connecting block can be driven downward by the extension rod, and the position will no longer change arbitrarily. As the water level in the temporary storage tank increases, the airbag will be lifted up by the water surface, and the button will be squeezed upward along the telescopic rod, and the button will control the pump body to stop working.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, a water storage tank is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one side of the temporary storage tank, a pump body is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the outer wall of one side of the water storage tank, a same pipe is fixedly inserted between the pump body and the temporary storage tank, and the button is electrically connected to the pump body through a wire.

[0011] The water in the temporary storage tank passes through the solenoid valve into the fixed tube, and then is filtered once by the filter block before flowing down from the bottom of the squeeze tube, which is beneficial to improving the quality of ice cubes. If the filter block needs to be replaced, just pull the squeeze tube downward, the tension of the spring is overcome and the squeeze tube becomes longer, and the squeeze tube will also move downward along the slide rod, and then the filter block between the fixed tube and the squeeze tube will be exposed, thereby achieving the purpose of quick replacement.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, a rubber ring is provided on the outer wall of the top of the extruded tube.

The squeeze tube will also move downward along the slide rod. The filter block between the fixed tube and the squeeze tube will then be exposed, thereby achieving the purpose of quick replacement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] The utility model provides a technical solution: Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a quantitative water delivery device for ice making includes a temporary storage tank 1, which is characterized in that: an adjustment component 6 is installed inside the temporary storage tank 1, and the adjustment component 6 includes a same bidirectional screw rod 601 rotatably connected to the inner walls of both ends of the temporary storage tank 1, and a same limit rod 602 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both ends of the temporary storage tank 1, and a mounting block 603 is threadedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 601, and the two mounting blocks 603 are slidably sleeved on the outside of the limit rod 602, and a motor 604 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the temporary storage tank 1, and the rotating shaft of the motor 604 and one end of the bidirectional screw rod 601 are coaxially fixed, and the tops of the two mounting blocks 603 are rotatably connected to an extension rod 605, and one end of the bottom of the two extension rods 605 is rotatably connected to the same connecting block 606.

[0024] A plurality of telescopic rods 607 and a button 609 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall at the bottom of the connection block 606 , and a same air bag 608 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the plurality of telescopic rods 607 , and the air bag 608 just contacts the bottom wall of the button 609 .

[0025] If it is necessary to produce smaller ice cubes, the motor 604 can be started, and the motor 604 shaft drives the bidirectional screw 601 to rotate in the temporary storage tank 1. The mounting blocks 603 are driven by the bidirectional screw 601 and cooperate with the limit rod 602, and the two mounting blocks 603 will approach each other. The connecting block 606 can be driven to move downward through the extension rod 605, and the position will no longer change arbitrarily. As the water level in the temporary storage tank 1 increases, the air bag 608 will be lifted up by the water surface and squeeze the button 609 upward along the telescopic rod 607, and the button 609 will control the pump body 3 to stop working.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a water storage tank 2 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the temporary storage tank 1, a pump body 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer wall of one side of the water storage tank 2, a same pipe is fixedly inserted between the pump body 3 and the temporary storage tank 1, and the button 609 is electrically connected to the pump body 3 through a wire.

[0027] When the pump body 3 is started, the water in the water storage tank 2 will be pumped into the pipeline by the pump body 3 and then enter the storage tank 2 for temporary storage.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a solenoid valve 4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the temporary storage tank 1, and a filter assembly 5 is arranged at the bottom of the solenoid valve 4.

[0029] The filter assembly 5 includes a fixed tube 501 fixedly plugged into the water outlet of the solenoid valve 4, a plurality of sliding rods 502 distributed at equal distances are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed tube 501, the plurality of sliding rods 502 are slidably sleeved on the same extrusion tube 504, a same filter block 505 is placed between the fixed tube 501 and the extrusion tube 504, a spring 503 is sleeved on the outside of the plurality of sliding rods 502, and the two ends of the plurality of springs 503 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed tube 501 and the extrusion tube 504.

[0033] The utility model provides a quantitative water delivery device for ice making, and the specific working principle is as follows:

[0034] When the device is working, if it is necessary to produce smaller ice cubes, the motor 604 is started, and the motor 604 shaft drives the bidirectional screw 601 to rotate in the temporary storage tank 1. The mounting blocks 603 are driven by the bidirectional screw 601 and cooperate with the limit rod 602. The two mounting blocks 603 will approach each other, and the connecting block 606 can be driven downward by the extension rod 605, and the position will no longer change arbitrarily. As the water level in the temporary storage tank 1 increases, the air bag 608 will be lifted up by the water surface and the button 609 will be squeezed upward along the telescopic rod 607.
