[0002] With the continuous development of refrigeration technology, ice makers, as important refrigeration equipment, are widely used in food preservation, medical research, chemical production and other fields. However, traditional ice makers will cause adhesion between ice cubes when making ice cubes. After the ice cubes fall off, most of the ice cubes will still be stuck together. When taking out the ice cubes, the stuck ice cubes need to be broken manually, which brings more troubles to use and reduces the use effect. At the same time, traditional ice makers need to wait for a long time when defrosting, which reduces work efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to design a cooling mechanism for the ice maker.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a cooling mechanism of an ice maker proposed by the utility model includes an ice maker housing 1, a cooling assembly 6 and an ice making assembly 7. The cooling assembly 6 is fixedly installed inside the ice maker housing 1. The cooling assembly 6 includes a fixing frame 601, a water outlet pipe 602, a cooling plate 605 and a cooling pipe 606. The fixing frame 601 is fixedly connected to the ice maker housing 1 by bolts. A cooling plate 605 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 601. The surrounding of the cooling plate 605 can be protected by the fixing frame 601. The rear end of the cooling plate 605 is fixedly connected with a cooling pipe 606. The cooling pipe 606 is arranged in a serpentine shape. The cooling pipe 606 is flat, which can effectively increase the contact area between the cooling pipe 606 and the cooling plate 605. When the refrigerant passes through the cooling pipe 606, the cooling plate 605 can be quickly cooled, thereby effectively improving the cooling efficiency.

[0024] An ice-making assembly 7 is slidably installed at the front end of the cooling plate 605. The ice-making assembly 7 includes an ice-making grid 701, a limiting frame 702 and an electric push rod 703. The ice-making grid 701 is slidably connected to the cooling plate 605, so that the ice-making grid 701 can slide back and forth in the cooling plate 605. The limiting frames 702 are fixedly installed on both sides of the ice-making grid 701. The electric push rod 703 is fixedly connected between the limiting frame 702 and the ice-making machine housing 1. Through the telescopic movement of the electric push rod 703, the limiting frame 702 can be used to drive the ice-making grid 701 to move back and forth, so that the ice cubes in the ice-making grid 701 can be quickly defrosted, which effectively improves the defrosting effect.

[0025] The cooling assembly 6 also includes a water outlet 603 and a guide groove 604. The bottom of the water outlet pipe 602 is connected to the water outlet 603. The top of the fixed frame 601 is provided with a guide groove 604 corresponding to the water outlet 603. A water pump 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the ice maker housing 1. The water source is transported to the water outlet pipe 602 by the water pump 2. The water source can be discharged into the guide groove 604 by the water outlet 603. The guide groove 604 corresponds to the longitudinal arrangement of the ice making grid 701. The guide groove 604 can conveniently guide the water flow to each longitudinally arranged grid so that the water flow can fully flow into each grid, avoiding the situation where the water flow direction is dispersed and the ice making grid 701 cannot be evenly filled with water. The water in the ice making grid 701 can be condensed into ice through the cooling effect of the cooling plate 605. The top of the inner wall of the ice making machine housing 1 is fixedly installed with a partition frame. 5, a crushing pile 501 corresponding to the ice-making assembly 7 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the partition frame 5, and the ice cubes can be separated by moving the ice-making grid 701 forward and backward. The separated ice cubes are dumped toward the partition frame 5, so that the ice cubes collide with the partition frame 5. The crushing pile 501 corresponds to the adhesion between the ice cubes. The impact force generated during the collision can make the crushing pile 501 crush the ice cubes so that the adhered ice cubes can be broken into independent block particles. A partition 102 is fixedly installed inside the ice-making machine housing 1, and an ice storage box 103 is slidably installed on the top of the partition 102. The partition 102 can conveniently support the ice storage box 103, and the crushed ice cubes can fall into the ice storage box 103 for storage. The ice storage box 103 is a pull-out type, and the ice storage box 103 can be pulled out to conveniently take out the ice cubes for use.

[0026] A water tank 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ice maker housing 1, and a water injection port 301 is fixedly installed at the front end of the water tank 3. Water can be conveniently introduced into the water tank 3 for storage through the water injection port 301. The water pump 2 is fixedly installed between the ice maker housing 1 through the installation box 101. By fixing the water pump 2 in the installation box 101, the water pump 2 can be conveniently protected. The water outlet end of the water pump 2 is connected to the water outlet pipe 602 through the water supply pipe 201, and the water suction end of the water pump 2 is connected to the water tank 3 through the water suction pipe 202. The water pump 2 can suck out the water in the water tank 3 through the water suction pipe 202, and the water source can be transported to the water outlet pipe 602 through the water supply pipe 201. The bottom of the fixed frame 601 is fixedly installed with a water receiving box 8, and the top of the water receiving box 8 is evenly distributed with water leakage holes, so that the water flowing down from the ice making grid 701 can be introduced into the water receiving box 8 for collection. The water receiving box 8 is connected with the water tank 3 through the conduit 801, which can conveniently guide the water in the water receiving box 8 into the water tank 3 for recycling. The ice maker shell 1 on one side of the water tank 3 is fixedly connected with a compressor 4, and the compressor 4 is connected with the cooling pipe 606. The refrigerant can be conveniently transported to the cooling pipe 606 for circulation through the compressor 4, which can conveniently drive the heat on the cooling plate 605, so that the cooling plate 605 can be cooled for ice making operation.

[0027] The working principle of the cooling mechanism and ice maker based on the embodiment is as follows: by starting the compressor 4 to deliver the water to the cooling pipe 606 for circulation, the cooling plate 605 can be quickly cooled down through the cooling pipe 606, and the water in the water tank 3 is pumped out and delivered to the water outlet pipe 602 by starting the water pump 2, and the water is discharged through the water outlet head 603, and the discharged water can be guided through the guide groove 604, so that the water can be conveniently guided to the ice making grid 701, and the water can continuously flow downward so that the water can enter the ice making grid 701, and the downward flowing water can flow into the water receiving box 8 for collection, and the collected water can be guided back to the water tank 3 for convenient circulation. The ice making grid 701 is used in a circular manner, and the cooling effect of the cooling plate 605 can gradually cool the water flow in the ice making grid 701 into ice, forming ice cubes attached to the ice making grid 701. After ice making is completed, the electric push rod 703 is started to extend and retract, and the ice making grid 701 can be driven to slide back and forth through the limit frame 702, so that the ice-removing operation can be carried out more conveniently, so that the fallen ice cubes can be discharged and collide with the barrier frame 5. The impact force generated by the collision can cause the crushing pile 501 to crush the ice cubes, so that the crushed ice cubes can fall into the ice storage box 103 for storage, and the ice storage box 103 is pulled out, The ice cubes can be conveniently taken out for use.
