Specific implementation manners

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 - 5 , a new type of sterilizing ice maker includes an ice maker body 1. An ice outlet 2 is provided on the surface of the ice maker body 1. A sterilization mechanism is installed on the inner wall of the ice outlet 2. The sterilization mechanism includes a disinfection lamp 3. The upper end of the disinfection lamp 3 is installed on the inner top wall of the ice outlet 2. The inner top wall of the ice outlet 2 is rotatably connected to an ice storage box 31 through a bearing. The ice storage box 31 is in the shape of a round box with an open upper surface. The disinfection lamp 3 is located at the center of the interior of the ice storage box 31. A slot is provided on the lower surface of the ice storage box 31, and the upper end of the slot communicates with the interior of the ice storage box 31.

[0025] In order to facilitate the removal of ice cubes, a receiving box 32 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the slot. A plurality of receiving boxes 32 are annularly arranged in the interior of the ice storage box 31 with the axis of the ice storage box 31 as the array center. The receiving box 32 is used to receive the falling ice cubes, so as to facilitate driving the ice cubes to fall. The side wall of the receiving box 32 is made of a transparent material, so as to facilitate the penetration of ultraviolet disinfection light. A heat preservation pad can also be fixedly connected to the lower surface of the receiving box 32, so as to facilitate reducing the rate of cold air leakage in the ice storage box 31. A limiting cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the ice storage box 31, and a rotating shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the limiting cylinder 33. By increasing the specification of the limiting cylinder 33, the surface of the side wall of the receiving box 32 is in contact with the outer surface of the limiting cylinder 33, thereby restricting the deflection of the receiving box 32.

[0026] In order to rotate the ice receiving box 32, a transmission mechanism 35 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the ice outlet 2. A driving motor 36 is fixedly connected to the inside of the ice outlet 2. The output shaft of the driving motor 36 is in transmission connection with the lower end of the rotating shaft 34 through the transmission mechanism 35. The transmission mechanism 35 is used to connect the output shaft of the driving motor 36 and the lower end of the rotating shaft 34, so as to facilitate driving the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. The transmission mechanism 35 includes a housing, a transmission belt and pulleys. The two pulleys are installed inside the housing and are in transmission connection through the transmission belt. The upper end of the driving motor 36 is in transmission connection with a screw 37 through the transmission mechanism 35. The outer side wall surface of the lower end of the ice receiving box 32 is rotatably connected to a transmission block 38 through a rotating shaft. The surface of the transmission block 38 is in threaded connection with the surface of the screw 37 through a threaded hole. The rotation of the screw 37 is used to drive the transmission block 38, so as to facilitate the movement of the transmission block 38 on the surface of the screw 37. The screw 37 is provided with threads only at the upper end, so as to facilitate the rapid movement of the transmission block 38 at the lower end of the screw 37. The transmission block 38 and the ice receiving box 32 are horizontally connected through a rotating shaft, so as to facilitate the turning of the ice receiving box 32 when the transmission block 38 is fixed, and then the ice on the surface is poured out.

[0027] By arranging a sterilization mechanism in the ice outlet 2 of the ice maker body 1, while receiving the ice cubes by the ice storage box 31 and the ice receiving box 32 in the sterilization mechanism, the finished ice cubes are directly disinfected and sterilized by the disinfection lamp 3 in the ice storage box 31. When the ice cubes are taken out through the ice receiving box 32 by the rotation of the screw 37, the screw 37 is connected to the rotating shaft 34 through the transmission mechanism 35, and then the ice receiving box 32 is driven to rotate around the disinfection lamp 3 through the rotating shaft 34 and the limiting cylinder 33, so that the ice cubes are fully disinfected, and thus the sterilization mechanism has the characteristic of being convenient for sterilizing the ice cubes produced by the ice maker.

[0028] The inner side wall of the ice outlet 2 is fixedly connected with a mounting plate 4. The upper surface of the mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected with a baffle 5. The upper surface of the baffle 5 is slidably connected with the lower surface of the ice storage box 31. By arranging a notch on the surface of the baffle 5, it is convenient to control the specified ice receiving box 32 to fall.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] During use, start the ice maker body 1. After the ice maker body 1 produces ice cubes, they fall into the ice receiving box 32 in the ice storage box 31. Start the driving motor 36. The driving motor 36 drives the rotating shaft 34 and the limiting cylinder 33 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 35. At the same time, the ice cubes are irradiated by the light of the disinfection lamp 3 for sterilization.

[0031] When the ice cube and the material receiving box 32 both rotate to the notch on the surface of the baffle 5, the gravity of the ice cube presses down the material receiving box 32, and the transmission block 38 on the surface of the material receiving box 32 is sleeved on the upper end of the screw 37. Since the driving motor 36 drives the screw 37 to rotate together through the transmission mechanism 35, and at the same time, the outer surface of the limiting cylinder 33 hinders the deflection of the material receiving box 32, the material receiving box 32 and the transmission block 38 fall together. When the limiting cylinder 33 is separated from the material receiving box 32 during the fall, the surface of the material receiving box 32 loses the obstruction, and the deflected material receiving box 32 dumps the ice cube.

[0032] After repeating the above steps to dump multiple material receiving boxes 32, reverse the rotation of the driving motor 36 so that the material receiving box 32 is inserted back into the ice storage box 31 upward.

[0033] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
