[0023] Refer to Figures 1-4 , an aluminum evaporator ice tray of a new type of ice maker according to an embodiment of the present utility model, which includes an ice tray 1, a copper pipe 2 and a fixing device 7. First connecting ears 3 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the ice tray 1. A bolt 4 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the first connecting ear 3. A second connecting ear 5 is threadedly connected to the side surface of the bolt 4. A nut 6 is threadedly connected to the side surface of the second connecting ear 5. The number of nuts 6 is four and they are distributed in a rectangular array. A water tank 18 is arranged inside the ice tray 1.
[0024] The fixing device 7 includes a heat conducting plate 8, a cover plate 9, a pull rod 11, a connecting block 12, a block 13, a sleeve 14, a slide post 15 and a spring 16. The right end of the pull rod 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 12. The right surface of the connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to the block 13. The inner surface of the sleeve 14 is slidably connected to the slide post 15. The slide post 15 passes through the inside of the spring 16. Both the front and rear sides of the heat conducting plate 8 are fixedly connected to the second connecting ear 5. The number of the second connecting ears 5 is four and they are distributed in a rectangular array. Half grooves 10 are arranged on the lower surface of the heat conducting plate 8 and the upper surface of the cover plate 9. A pipe is formed between the two half grooves 10. A clamping groove is arranged inside the heat conducting plate 8. The clamping groove is adapted to the block 13. One end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 12. The end of the spring 16 away from the connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 9. A pull ring 17 is fixedly connected to the left end of the pull rod 11.

[0025] Working principle: After placing the copper tube 2 on the semi-groove 10 between the heat conduction plate 8 and the cover plate 9, push the cover plate 9 upward so that the clamping block 13 is snapped into the heat conduction plate 8, and the sleeve 14 is tightly pressed against by the elasticity of the spring 16 to achieve the fixation of the semi-groove 10. Since the semi-groove 10 in the heat conduction plate 8 makes the contact surface between the heat conduction plate 8 and the copper tube 2 larger, the heat conduction is more uniform and the efficiency is higher. When maintenance is needed, just pull the two left and right pull rings 17 to make the clamping block 13 disengage from the card slot in the heat conduction plate 8, and then the heat conduction plate 8 can be taken out downward, so that the copper tube 2 can be taken out. The operation is very simple and convenient.
