Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning ice trays, and more specifically, to an ice tray which is easy to clean. Background Art
[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system. When the ice maker is in use, the ice cubes need to be formed into a fixed shape through an ice tray. When the ice tray of an existing ice maker is in use, an ice layer that is difficult to clean will gradually adhere to the ice tray, which will make the ice cubes formed by the ice tray irregular in shape when the ice tray is in use. In addition, the ice tray of an existing ice maker is fixed to the evaporator by welding. Since the operating space inside the ice maker is small, it is inconvenient to clean the ice tray. Moreover, the ice tray is fixedly connected to the evaporator, making it inconvenient to disassemble and clean the ice tray. This is quite inconvenient. To solve the above problems, we have introduced the following device. Utility Model Content
