Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making equipment, in particular to an ice making tray. Background Art

[0002] The ice tray is a commonly used device for making small ice cubes for cold drinks. There are multiple ice-making cavities on the ice tray. A copper tube is connected to the bottom of the ice tray. After water is added to the ice-making cavity, the refrigerant is driven through the copper tube by the compression equipment, which transfers the cold to the ice tray, thereby freezing the water in the ice-making cavity into ice cubes.

[0003] Most of the existing ice trays and copper tubes are die-cast. During the die-casting process, the copper tube is easily deformed or damaged, affecting the circulation of the refrigerant in the copper tube. In addition, the contact area between the copper tube of the ice tray and the bottom of the ice tray is small, and the cold transfer effect is relatively poor, which further reduces the ice making speed of the ice tray and the ice making effect is poor. In addition, the copper tube of this type of ice tray is exposed outside the bottom of the ice tray, which is easy to be accidentally hit during installation. If the copper tube is deformed, it is easy to cause poor circulation of the refrigerant, further affecting the ice making effect. Utility Model Content

The longitudinal plates 14 and the transverse plates 15 are arranged in a cross shape and enclosed with the upper end surface of the ice tray body 1 to form a plurality of ice making cavities 11.

[0025] The ice tray body 1, the pipe groove 12, the longitudinal plate 14 and the transverse plate 15 are integrally die-cast, which not only has a strong structure but also can reduce the process flow and reduce the cost.

[0026] The transverse plates 15 are inclined, and the inclination angles of the plurality of transverse plates 15 gradually decrease from one end to the other end, so that the inner cavity of the ice-making cavity 11 is small inside and large outside, which is convenient for subsequent demoulding of ice cubes.

[0027] The ice making chamber is coated with a Teflon layer to prevent ice cubes from sticking together. The Teflon layer has a good anti-sticking effect and can prevent ice cubes from sticking together in the ice making chamber 11 and being difficult to remove.
