[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides an ice-making baffle 120, including a baffle body 100, wherein a heat-conducting cavity 400 is arranged in the baffle body 100, wherein at least one heat-conducting baffle 200 is arranged in the heat-conducting cavity 400, and one or more heat-conducting baffles 200 are sequentially connected to the upper top plate and the lower bottom plate of the baffle body 100, so that the heat-conducting cavity 400 forms a baffle channel 140;
[0031] The outer wall of the partition body 100 is provided with an outer protrusion 300 extending from top to bottom.
[0032] In some embodiments, the partition body 100 of the ice-making partition 120 has a heat-conducting cavity 400, and one or more heat-conducting partitions 200 are arranged in the heat-conducting cavity 400. The heat-conducting partition 200 has two settings. One end of the heat-conducting partition 200 is connected to the upper end of the partition body 100, and the other end is a certain distance from the lower end of the partition body 100; one end of the heat-conducting partition 200 is connected to the lower end of the partition body 100, and the other end is a certain distance from the upper end of the partition body 100. Multiple heat-conducting partitions 200 can form a deflection channel 140 in the heat-conducting cavity 400, so that a medium with a certain temperature flows in the deflection channel 140, thereby increasing the temperature of the heat-conducting partition 200; the medium is generally antifreeze or other commonly used media.
[0033] By circulating the medium in the heat conduction cavity 400 , the temperature of the partition body 100 is increased, so that the ice cubes can be quickly separated from the partition body 100 , thereby avoiding a long deicing time and a large amount of ice cubes melting.
[0034] An outer protrusion 300 is provided on the partition body 100, and the outer protrusion 300 can play a role of limiting. During the ice-removing process, the outer protrusion 300 prevents the ice cubes from moving toward the ice-making main board 130, thereby preventing the ice cubes from moving toward the ice-making main board 130, resulting in more melting of the ice cubes or even deformation.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, the upper end surface of the partition body 100 is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, and the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are arranged on both sides of the first direction of the heat conduction cavity 400;
[0036] The first direction is a height direction of the partition body 100 .
[0037] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the partition body 100 are both arranged on the upper end surface of the partition body 100; and the liquid outlet and the liquid inlet are arranged at both ends of the heat conduction cavity 400. After the medium enters the heat conduction cavity 400 from the liquid inlet, it is repeatedly deflected by the deflection channel 140 and flows out from the liquid outlet. The medium with a certain temperature exchanges heat with the partition body 100, thereby increasing the temperature of the partition body 100 and melting the ice cubes abutting against the partition body 100, so that the ice cubes can be separated from the partition body 100 to achieve ice removal.
[0038] Generally, a heat-conducting baffle 200 is arranged in the heat-conducting cavity 400 of the baffle body 100, and the upper end of the heat-conducting baffle 200 is connected to the inner wall of the top of the heat-conducting cavity 400, and the lower end of the heat-conducting baffle 200 and the inner wall of the lower end of the heat-conducting cavity 400 have a certain interval and form a connecting channel, so that the medium entering from the liquid inlet passes through the connecting channel and flows out from the liquid outlet, so that the medium completes the heat exchange with the baffle body 100.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 In an optional embodiment, an inner concave surface 700 matching the outer protrusion 300 is provided in the heat-conducting cavity 400, and the inner concave surface 700 forms a heat-conducting channel in the heat-conducting cavity 400;
[0040] The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are each correspondingly provided with a heat conduction channel.
[0041] The heat conduction cavity 400 is provided with an inner concave surface 700 , which forms a heat conduction channel. The heat conduction cavity 400 of the partition body 100 is punched to form the inner concave surface 700 in the heat conduction cavity 400 and form an outer protrusion 300 on the outer side of the partition body 100 .
[0042] The partition body 100 generally has four outer protrusions 300 . Two outer protrusions 300 are disposed on each side of the partition body 100 that contacts the ice cubes, and there is a certain distance between the two outer protrusions 300 .
[0043] During the process of forming ice cubes, part of the ice cubes are located between the two outer protrusions 300 , and the two outer protrusions 300 cooperate with the movement of the ice cubes to limit the movement of the ice cubes, that is, to prevent the ice cubes from deviating toward the ice-making main board 130 .
[0044] Reference Figure 3 In an optional embodiment, it further includes a liquid inlet pipe 900 and a liquid outlet pipe 110, wherein the liquid inlet pipe 900 is screwed to the liquid inlet, and the liquid outlet pipe 110 is screwed to the liquid outlet.
[0045] Generally, both the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet have threads, the liquid inlet pipe 900 is threadedly connected to the liquid inlet, and the liquid outlet pipe 110 is threadedly connected to the liquid outlet. In order to further fix the liquid inlet pipe 900 and the liquid outlet pipe 110, the liquid inlet pipe 900 is welded to the liquid inlet.
[0046] The liquid inlet pipe 900 and the liquid outlet pipe 110 are used to connect with a circulation system, and the circulation system allows the medium to enter the partition body 100 from the liquid inlet pipe 900, and then flow out of the partition body 100 from the liquid outlet pipe 110 after heat exchange.
[0047] The upper and lower ends of the heat transfer cavity 400 of the partition body 100 are sealed, and liquid can only enter and exit through the liquid inlet pipe 900 and the liquid outlet pipe 110 .
[0048] A plurality of partition bodies 100 are connected in series or in parallel. When de-icing, the solution in the partition body 100 of the circulation storage tank and the evaporator is circulated through a circulation pump to heat the partition body 100, thereby realizing rapid demoulding of the ice cubes. The temperature of the ice cubes will be better maintained when the ice cubes are de-iced quickly. During the demoulding process, the ice cubes will melt less, thereby ensuring the quality of the ice cubes.
[0049] The outer protrusion 300 also has a reinforcing effect on the partition body 100, so that the partition body 100 is not easily deformed. The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet can be connected to the liquid inlet pipe 900 and the liquid outlet pipe 110 to make and remove ice, thereby improving the production efficiency of ice cubes.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, at least one expansion joint 800 is provided at the lower end of the partition body 100 .
[0051] In an optional embodiment, at least two expansion joints 800 are disposed at the lower end of the partition body 100 , and at least one expansion joint 800 is disposed on both sides of the heat conduction cavity 400 in the first direction.
[0052] In some embodiments, the partition body 100 has at least one expansion joint 800, and generally one expansion joint 800 is arranged on both sides of the heat conduction cavity 400; generally, the heat conduction cavity 400 is arranged in the middle position of the partition body 100, that is, a cooling plate is arranged on both sides of the first direction of the partition body 100, and the expansion joint 800 is located between the heat conduction cavity 400 and the cooling plate.
[0053] The expansion joint 800 prevents water from freezing and expanding during ice making, thereby preventing the ice-making partition 120 and the refrigeration plate from being damaged by freezing.
[0054] In an optional embodiment, a dovetail structure 600 is respectively disposed on both sides of the partition body 100 in the first direction.
[0055] The dovetail structure 600 of the partition body 100 can strengthen the partition body 100, making it less likely to deform, and can increase the contact area between the partition body 100 and the refrigeration plate. When making ice and defrosting ice, it is easier for the refrigeration plate and the partition body 100 to transfer heat, which is more conducive to making ice and defrosting ice.
[0056] In an optional embodiment, at least one cavity 500 is respectively disposed on both sides of the partition body 100 in the first direction.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, the ice-making baffle 120 is made of aluminum.
[0058] In some embodiments, the partition body 100 has a cavity 500, which reduces the material usage of the partition body 100 and reduces the cost of the entire device. The two ends of the cavity 500 of the partition body 100 are not connected to the outside world; that is, water cannot enter the cavity 500; after the cavity 500 is manufactured on the ice-making partition 200, the cavity 500 needs to be sealed.
[0059] The ice-making baffle 120 provided by the utility model has a heat-conducting cavity 400 in the baffle body 100. When ice is removed, a fluid medium with a certain temperature can pass through the heat-conducting cavity 400 to increase the temperature of the ice-making baffle 120, so that the ice cubes can be easily separated from the ice-making baffle 120. The ice-making baffle 120 has an external protrusion 300, which limits the movement of the ice cubes and prevents the ice cubes from deviating toward the ice-making main board 130, causing the problem of excessive melting and deformation of the ice cubes.
[0060] Reference Figure 4 The utility model provides an evaporator, comprising a plurality of ice-making main boards 130 and a plurality of ice-making baffles 120 described in any one of the aforementioned embodiments; the plurality of ice-making main boards 130 are arranged in sequence at intervals, and a plurality of ice-making baffles 120 are arranged between two adjacent ice-making main boards 130.
[0061] Compared with the prior art, the evaporator provided by the utility model has the ice-making baffle 120 provided by the utility model, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the ice-making baffle 120 provided by the utility model.
[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
