Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ice makers, in particular to a bullet ice maker with an external water box. Background Art

[0002] At present, ice cubes have become accessories in life, and miniaturized ice-making devices have gradually entered households. Especially in the hot summer, people can conveniently make ice while sitting at home and enjoy the cool taste that ice cubes bring to beverages and beers. An ice maker is an electrical device that can automatically make ice. At present, ice makers usually use a refrigeration system composed of a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and an expansion valve for refrigeration, providing low temperature for the ice-making mechanism to make ice.

[0003] For example, the patent number CN212227450U discloses a bullet ice maker. A skating board for guiding bullet-shaped ice cubes falling off a bullet-shaped ice mold into an ice basket is mounted on the bottom wall of the ice-making cavity corresponding to the lower part of the bullet-shaped evaporator. A plurality of water passing holes are arranged at the bottom of the skating board, and a gap is arranged between the bottom of the skating board and the bottom wall of the ice-making cavity so that a flowing water gap is formed therebetween, thereby realizing the separation of ice cubes and water on the skating board. The ice cubes slide into the ice basket along the skating board, and the water enters the flowing water gap through the water passing holes of the skating board and then flows into the water storage cavity of the main cavity. In the above structure, part of the water will enter the ice storage box along with the ice, which easily causes the ice cubes to melt and affects the ice-making effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] (I) Technical Problems to be Solved

[0005] The problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a bullet ice maker with an external water box to overcome the defect that water in the existing ice maker easily enters the ice storage box.

[0006] (II) Technical Solutions

[0007] To solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides a bullet ice maker with an external water box, which includes a housing. A ice storage box and a water tank are arranged at the front end of the housing. A ice-making cavity is formed above the ice storage box in the housing. An evaporator is arranged in the ice-making cavity, and a plurality of ice-making die heads extending downward are evenly distributed on the evaporator. An inner water box capable of accommodating the ice-making die heads is rotatably installed in the ice-making cavity. An outer water box that can rotate synchronously with the inner water box is sleeved outside the inner water box. A drainage channel is formed between the inner water box and the outer water box. A drainage port is arranged at one end of the outer water box. The drainage channel communicates with the water tank through the drainage port. After ice making is completed, the inner water box and the outer water box rotate synchronously to pour water, and the remaining water in the inner water box is discharged into the water tank through the drainage channel and the drainage port.

[0008] In this solution, through the arrangement of the inner water box and the outer water box, a drainage channel is formed between the inner and outer water boxes. Through the drainage channel and the drain port provided on one side of the outer water box, it is ensured that when pouring water to drop the ice after ice making is completed, the remaining surplus water in the inner water box can only enter the water tank through the drainage channel and the drain port, and will not enter the ice storage box.

[0009] In some embodiments, the evaporator is arranged to extend in the front-back direction of the ice making cavity; the arrangement direction of the evaporator helps to adjust and reduce the overall size of the ice maker, especially the size in the width direction.

[0010] In some embodiments, both the inner water box and the outer water box are open-shaped. An overflow port is provided on one side of the opening of the inner water box. The overflow port is arranged close to the drainage channel and communicates with it; the height of the overflow port is lower than the height of the other side of the opening of the inner water box. If the water is full, the water in the inner water box can only overflow from the overflow port and enter the drainage channel.

[0011] In this solution, the overflow port provided at the upper end of the inner water box defines the highest water level line in the inner water box. The height of the overflow port being lower than the height of the other side of the opening of the inner water box is to further ensure that when pouring water into the inner water box, even if there is an overflow phenomenon, the overflowing water will only enter the drainage channel and will not overflow from the position of the other side of the opening of the inner water box, thereby ensuring that it will not overflow from this side position and enter the ice storage box.

[0012] In some embodiments, one side wall of the opening of the inner water box is inclined downward, and the overflow port is formed on the upper side of the side wall; or, the overflow port is formed by a concave portion on one side wall of the opening of the inner water box.

[0013] In this solution, the overflow port can directly be formed by the upper edge of the side wall of the opening of the inner water box, or can be formed by a concave portion on the opening side wall (in this case, the formed overflow port is lower than the upper edge of the opening side wall).

[0014] In some embodiments, a water baffle extending towards its inner cavity is provided on one side of the opening of the outer water box, and the water baffle is arranged on the same side as the overflow port.

[0015] In this solution, by providing the water baffle, the surplus water flowing out from the overflow port will be blocked by the water baffle and thus will not enter the lower ice storage box; therefore, compared with the existing ice maker, the rotation angle of the inner and outer water boxes in this solution can be designed to be relatively large, and it can also ensure that the remaining surplus water in the inner water box will only finally flow to the water tank through the drainage channel and will not enter the ice storage box.

[0016] In some embodiments, the drainage channel is inclined towards the drainage outlet; the bottom of the outer water box has an inclined guiding wall that inclines towards the drainage outlet, and the water in the drainage channel flows towards the drainage outlet under the guidance of the inclined guiding wall.

[0017] In this solution, the drainage channel is inclined, which is convenient for guiding the surplus water towards the drainage outlet.

[0018] In some embodiments, both the inner water box and the outer water box are in a semi-circular shape with an upper opening, the drainage outlet is in an arc shape, and the drainage outlet extends along the outer circumferential direction of the outer water box.

[0019] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with an ice-making outer shell on the outside of the ice-making cavity, the inner water box and the outer water box are rotatably installed on the ice-making outer shell, and a driving motor for driving the inner water box and the outer water box to rotate synchronously is provided on the ice-making outer shell.

[0020] In some embodiments, one end of the ice-making outer shell is provided with a water discharge channel corresponding to the drainage outlet, and the water discharge channel communicates with the water tank; and / or, an ice-falling groove for ice to fall is provided inside the ice-making outer shell.

[0021] In this solution, when pouring ice, the bullet ice formed on the ice-making die head is located directly above the ice-falling groove, and the falling bullet ice can directly enter the ice storage box.

[0022] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a visual window communicating with the ice-making cavity, and an openable cover plate is provided on the visual window; and / or, the cover plate is hinged on the housing and covers the visual window.

[0023] In this solution, the cover plate is a transparent member, and the ice-making state inside the inner water box can be observed through the visual window.

[0024] In some embodiments, the housing includes an outer cover shell, the water tank is fixed at the front end inside the outer cover shell, and the ice storage box is slidably installed on the upper side of the water tank; a bracket is installed at the rear side inside the outer cover shell, a compressor is installed between the water tank and the bracket, and a condenser and a cooling fan for dissipating heat from the condenser are installed on the bracket.

[0025] (III) Beneficial effects

[0026] A bullet ice ice-making machine with an outer water box provided by the present utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0027] 1) An outer water box is added outside the inner water box. After ice making is completed, the inner water box and the outer water box rotate synchronously to pour water. The remaining water in the inner water box is discharged into the water tank through the drainage channel, the drainage port and the downcomer. The outer water box is used to guide the water pouring, and the water pouring effect is good, avoiding water from entering the ice storage box;

[0028] 2) An outer water box is added and, through the cooperation of the drainage channel and the baffle plate, without affecting the water pouring function, the inner water box and the outer water box can rotate at a larger angle, thereby ensuring the separation of ice and water during ice removal, that is, first discharging the remaining water in the inner water box into the water tank, and then the ice on the ice making die head detaches, preventing water from entering the ice storage box together with the ice, thereby improving the ice making effect.

[0049] The following describes the technical solutions provided by each embodiment of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Refer to Figures 1 to 13 , this utility model provides a bullet ice maker with an external water tank, which includes a housing 1. A storage ice box 5 and a water tank 11 are arranged at the front end of the housing 1. The storage ice box 5 is used to store the made bullet ice, and the water tank 11 is located below the storage ice box 5. The housing 1 forms an ice-making cavity 101 above the storage ice box 5, and bullet ice is made in the ice-making cavity 101. An operation panel is arranged at the front end of the housing 1 above the storage ice box 5 for easy operation and control.

[0051] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an evaporator 2 is arranged in the ice-making cavity 101 extending in the front-rear direction. A plurality of ice-making die heads 21 extending downward are evenly distributed on the evaporator 2. The evaporator 2 is U-shaped, and the ice-making die heads 21 are evenly distributed on both sides of the evaporator 2. Existing evaporators generally extend in the width direction of the whole machine. This structure will cause the width dimension of the whole machine to be larger and not convenient for storage. In this structure, the evaporator extends in the front-rear direction of the housing, the compressor and the condenser are both installed at the rear side of the whole machine, and the water tank and the storage ice box are arranged vertically at the front end of the housing. This structure effectively reduces the width dimension, the overall structure is simple and compact, and the volume is small, which is convenient for storage.

[0052] Refer to Figures 3 to 6 andFigure 10 , a water box 3 that can accommodate the ice - making die head 21 is rotatably installed in the ice - making cavity 101. The water box 3 is located directly below the evaporator 2 and is used to store the water required for ice - making. An outer water box 4 that can rotate synchronously with the inner water box 3 is sleeved outside the inner water box 3. The outer water box 4 is used to guide the water in the inner water box 3 to the ice - making outer shell 12 after ice - making is completed. A drainage channel 401 is formed between the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4, and there is a gap between the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 to form the drainage channel 401. One end of the outer water box 4 is provided with a drainage port 402. The drainage port 402 communicates with the drainage channel 401, and the drainage channel 401 communicates with the water tank 11 through the drainage port 402. After ice - making is completed, the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 rotate synchronously to pour water. The remaining water in the inner water box 3 is discharged into the water tank 11 through the drainage channel 401 and the drainage port 402. Compared with the traditional structure that directly uses a single water box to pour water, this structure adds an outer water box 4 for water guiding, so that the remaining water is guided to the ice - making outer shell 12 through the outer water box 4, and the water - pouring effect is good, avoiding water from entering the ice storage box.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, both the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 are in an open shape. An overflow port 301 is provided on one side of the opening of the inner water box 3. The overflow port 301 is arranged close to the drainage channel 401 and is in communication with the drainage channel 401. The height of the overflow port 301 is lower than the height of the other side of the opening of the inner water box 3, so that when the water is full, the water in the inner water box 3 is discharged from the overflow port 301 first. With this structure, the overflow port 301 is provided to ensure that when the water in the inner water box 3 is full, the water overflows from the overflow port 301. Since the overflow port 301 communicates with the drainage channel 401, it can be discharged into the water tank 11, preventing the overflowed water from entering the ice storage box 5 and ensuring the ice storage effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, one side wall of the opening of the inner water box 3 is inclined downward, and an overflow port 301 is formed on the upper side of the side wall. With this structure, one side wall is inclined downward, resulting in a height difference between the two side walls. The overflow port 301 is arranged on the side wall with a lower height to ensure that the water overflows from the overflow port 301 when the water is full. As Figure 7 shown, or it can also be set like this, an overflow port 301 is formed by concave - down on one side wall of the opening of the inner water box 3; with this structure, the height of the overflow port 301 is lower than the height of the other side wall of the opening, ensuring the reliability of the structure; in order to achieve a better effect, one side wall can be inclined downward first, and then the overflow port 301 is formed by concave - down on this inclined side wall to ensure the height difference between the two side walls.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a water baffle 403 extending towards the inner cavity is provided on one side of the opening of the outer water box 4. The water baffle 403 is arranged on the same side as the overflow port 301, and the water baffle 403 and the outer water box 4 are of an integral structure. With this structure, the water baffle 403 is added to ensure that even when the outer water box 4 and the inner water box 3 rotate by a large angle, the remaining water will not flow from the outer water box 4 into the ice storage box 5.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 shown, the bottom of the outer water box 4 has an inclined guiding wall 404 inclined towards the drain port 402, and the water in the drainage channel 401 flows towards the drain port 402 under the guidance of the inclined guiding wall 404. The inclined guiding wall 404 is provided so that the height of the wall surface near the drain port 402 is low and the height of the wall surface far from the drain port 402 is high, thus facilitating the water to flow towards the drain port 402.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, both the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 are in a semi-circular shape with an upper opening, and the drain port 402 is in an arc shape extending along the outer circumference of the outer water box 4. The drain port 402 extends from one end of the outer water box 4 to its middle position. With this structure, since when pouring water, the outer water box 4 and the inner water box 3 rotate by a large angle (greater than 90 degrees and less than 130 degrees), the arc-shaped large-opening drain port 402 can ensure that even when rotating by a large angle, the water in the drainage channel 401 can smoothly flow out from the drain port 402.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, an ice-making outer shell 12 is provided on the outside of the ice-making cavity 101 of the housing 1. Both the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 are rotatably installed on the ice-making outer shell 12, and a driving motor 6 for driving the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 to rotate synchronously is provided on the ice-making outer shell 12. Among them, the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 are fixed together by screws, or can also be connected by a clamping method. Eccentric hinge shafts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner water box 3, and the hinge shaft on one side of the inner water box 3 is drivingly connected to the driving motor 6, so as to drive the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 to rotate synchronously through the driving motor 6.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 12 shown, a water outlet channel 121 corresponding to the drain port 402 is provided at one end of the ice-making outer shell 12, and the water outlet channel 121 communicates with the water tank 11. And / or, an ice-falling groove 122 for ice to fall is provided in the ice-making outer shell 12.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a visible window 102 communicating with the ice-making chamber 101 is provided on the housing 1. The visible window 102 facilitates observing the ice-making situation in the ice-making chamber 101, and a cover plate 13 that can be opened is provided on the visible window 102. And / or, the cover plate 13 is hinged to the housing 1 and covers the visible window 102. Among them, for convenient observation, the cover plate 13 is made of a transparent material, and the ice-making situation in the ice-making chamber 101 can be directly observed through the cover plate 13.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the housing 1 includes an outer cover 14. The water tank 11 is fixed to the front end inside the outer cover 14. The ice storage box 5 is slidably installed above the water tank 11, and a water guide port communicating with the water tank 11 is provided at the bottom of the ice storage box 5. A water pump is installed on the water tank 11. The water inlet end of the water pump communicates with the water tank 11, and the water outlet end of the water pump communicates with the inner water box 3. A bracket 15 is installed at the rear side inside the outer cover 14. A compressor 7 is installed between the water tank 11 and the bracket 15. A condenser 8 and a cooling fan 9 for dissipating heat from the condenser 8 are installed on the bracket 15.

[0062] The process of using this bullet ice maker is as follows:

[0063] During ice-making, the water pump adds the water in the water tank 11 to the inner water box 3. Then the compressor 7 starts, and the evaporator 2 cools down. The ice-making die head 21 of the evaporator 2 is immersed in the clear water part of the inner water box 3 to freeze. After ice-making is completed, the drive motor 6 drives the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 to rotate synchronously to pour water. The remaining water in the inner water box 3 enters the drainage channel 401 from the overflow port 301, and then is discharged into the water tank 11 through the drain port 402 and the drain channel 121. After drainage is completed, the compressor 7 switches the pipeline through the solenoid valve to heat the evaporator 2. The ice cubes on the ice-making die head 21 fall off into the ice storage box 5 through the ice-falling groove 122, and finally the drive motor 6 drives the inner water box 3 and the outer water box 4 to rotate synchronously and reset.

[0064] For the same and similar parts among the various embodiments in this specification, reference can be made to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0065] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
