Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice makers, in particular to a novel refrigerator assembly and an ice making module having the same. Background Art

[0002] The information provided in this part is only the background information related to the present application to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present application more thoroughly and accurately, and it is not necessarily the prior art.

[0003] Currently, the refrigerator assemblies on the market usually include an ice storage bucket and an ice making box provided on the ice storage bucket. The ice making box is provided with an overflow port. When the water level in the ice making box reaches a certain height, the excess water will be discharged through the overflow port, resulting in water outside the refrigerator assembly, which is not only troublesome to clean but also easy to cause pollution.

[0004] In addition, a temperature measuring probe is usually not provided in the existing ice making box. When ice making is required, only a certain amount of normal temperature water can be introduced into the ice making box and a fixed ice making mode can be started to achieve ice making. Thus, when hot water with different temperatures is introduced into the ice making box, starting the fixed ice making mode at this time may not be able to meet the ice making requirements, so the stability of the ice making quality each time cannot be guaranteed.

[0040] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0041] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the referred module or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] Refer to Figures 1-5, the present utility model provides a new refrigerator assembly, including an ice storage bucket 1 and an ice making box 2. An ice storage cavity 101 for storing ice cubes is formed inside the ice storage bucket 1; the ice making box 2 is rotatably arranged at the inner top of the ice storage cavity 101; an ice making cavity 201 is formed inside the ice making box 2. In addition, it also includes a controller and a water level monitoring module. The water level monitoring module includes a common electrode electrically connected to the controller and at least one water level monitoring electrode. The common electrode has a first detection part extending into the ice making cavity, and the water level monitoring electrode has a second detection part extending into the ice making cavity; when both the first detection part and the second detection part are in contact with water, electrical connection is established between the common electrode and the water level monitoring electrode. Among them, it also includes an NTC temperature sensor 4 electrically connected to the controller. The NTC temperature sensor 4 includes a metal shell 401 and an NTC temperature measuring probe 402 arranged on the metal shell 401 and extending into the ice making cavity 201. The NTC temperature measuring probe 402 can be used to detect the water temperature in the ice making cavity 201.

[0045] In this embodiment, the metal shell 401 forms the common electrode, and the NTC temperature measuring probe 402 forms the first detection part; the water level monitoring electrode is a conductive metal sheet 3, and one end of the conductive metal sheet 3 extends into the ice making cavity 201 and forms the second detection part. Among them, the second detection parts of the two conductive metal sheets 3 are at the same height and are both higher than the lowest end of the NTC temperature measuring probe 402.

[0046] Thus, when the cold water level in the ice making cavity 201 gradually rises until the water level submerges both the two conductive metal sheets 3 and the NTC temperature measuring probe 402 at the same time, at this time, electrical connection is established between the common electrode and the water level monitoring electrode. The controller can obtain the signal sent by the common electrode and can judge that the water level in the ice making box 2 is in place. At this time, the controller controls the water pump to pause working to stop water inlet. At the same time, the NTC temperature measuring probe 402 can detect the water temperature in the ice making cavity 201 and send the temperature signal to the controller. Only when the temperature reaches or is lower than the preset temperature value in the controller does the ice making mode start, thus ensuring the quality stability of each ice making.

[0047] The refrigerator assembly of the present utility model, by setting the water level monitoring module, can identify that the water is full and automatically stop water injection, thereby avoiding insufficient water level or overflow, and further preventing problems such as water overflow causing pollution and inconvenient cleaning; in addition, by setting the NTC temperature sensor 4, the NTC temperature measuring probe 402 can real-time detect the water temperature in the ice making cavity 201. When the water temperature reaches the specified temperature, the ice making mode starts and the ice making is timed, thereby ensuring the quality stability of each ice making.

[0048] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the second detection parts in the two conductive metal sheets 3 can be located at different heights respectively, so as to realize the monitoring of high and low water levels; in addition, the number of the conductive metal sheets 3 can also be adaptively selected according to the actual use scenarios, and the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0049] Similarly, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the common electrode can also be formed by the conductive metal sheet 3, and the NTC temperature sensor 4 does not form the common electrode, and neither is limited here.

[0050] Furthermore, it further includes a cold water inlet pipe 5, a cold water outlet pipe 6 and a hot water inlet pipe 7. The water inlet end of the cold water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet end of the cold water outlet pipe 6 are both communicated with the ice-making cavity 201 of the ice-making box 2; the water outlet end of the cold water inlet pipe 5 and the water inlet end of the cold water outlet pipe 6 are both communicated with the cold water tank 17; the water outlet end of the hot water inlet pipe 7 is communicated with the ice-making cavity 201, and the water inlet end of the hot water inlet pipe 7 is communicated with a hot water supply device (such as a thermos).

[0051] Thus, by providing the hot water inlet pipe 7, hot water can be input into the ice-making box 2 to provide a water source for ice-making; by providing the cold water inlet pipe 5, the excess residual water generated during the ice-making or ice-removing process of the ice-making box 2 can be discharged into the cold water tank 17 through the cold water inlet pipe 5 to avoid pollution; by providing the cold water outlet pipe 6, the cold water stored in the cold water tank 17 can flow back into the ice-making box 2 through the cold water outlet pipe 6 to be mixed with the hot water to form normal-temperature water, thereby improving the ice-making efficiency.

[0052] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the refrigerator assembly further includes an evaporator 8 arranged in the ice-making cavity 201. The evaporator 8 includes a first evaporation pipe 801 and a plurality of columns 802 arranged at intervals along the axis direction of the first evaporation pipe 801. The inside of the first evaporation pipe 801 and the inside of the plurality of columns 802 are both communicated to form a first flow channel for the refrigerant to flow. Among them, the inlet end of the first evaporation pipe 801 is provided with a first refrigerant inlet pipe 9 and a second refrigerant inlet pipe 10. The first refrigerant inlet pipe 9 is used to communicate with the output end of the capillary tube. The first refrigerant inlet pipe 9 injects low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant into the inside of the first evaporation pipe 801 to realize refrigeration or ice-making; the second refrigerant inlet pipe 10 is used to communicate with the output end of the compressor. The second refrigerant inlet pipe 10 injects high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into the inside of the first evaporation pipe 801 to realize ice-removing.

[0053] In this embodiment, it further includes a bracket 13 arranged on the ice-making box 2. The evaporator 8 is fixed on the bracket 13 through a mounting plate, so as to be installed on the ice storage bucket 1.

[0054] Refer to Figures 1-5, the refrigerator assembly further includes a driving device 11 that is drivingly connected to the ice-making box 2. Both the left and right ends of the ice-making box 2 are convexly provided with shaft bodies 202. At the positions corresponding to the shaft bodies 202 on the ice storage bucket 1, card slots 102 are formed. The shaft bodies 202 are hung in the card slots 102 to form a rotational fit. Preferably, the driving device 11 is a driving motor, and the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to one of the shaft bodies 202 to form a driving fit, so as to drive the ice-making box 2 to rotate to drop the ice cubes into the ice storage cavity 101.

[0055] Furthermore, it further includes two limit switches 12 that are electrically connected to the controller. The two limit switches 12 are both arranged on the ice storage bucket 1 and are located on both sides of the other shaft body 202. A convex portion 2021 for triggering the limit switch 12 is provided on the other shaft body 202. When the driving device 11 drives the ice-making box 2 to rotate until the convex portion 2021 triggers the limit switch 12, the limit switch 12 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the driving device 11 to stop working to fix the rotational position of the ice-making box 2.

[0056] Specifically, the limit switch 12 is a microswitch. The microswitch is provided with a contact point and a spring piece. When the driving device 11 drives the ice-making box 2 to rotate, the convex portion 2021 can abut against the spring piece and drive the spring piece to rotate until the spring piece abuts against the contact point. At this time, the microswitch is triggered and sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the driving device 11 to stop working.

[0057] Refer to again Figures 1-5 , the refrigerator assembly further includes an ice storage box (not shown in the figure). An opening 103 is provided on the side of the ice storage bucket 1. The ice storage box is located inside the ice storage bucket 1 and can be drawn out through the opening 103. In addition, it further includes an induction device for detecting whether the ice storage box is located inside the ice storage bucket 1. The induction device includes a magnet provided on the ice storage box and a Hall switch 16 provided inside the ice storage bucket 1. The Hall switch 16 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0058] Thus, when the ice storage box is put into or drawn out of the ice storage bucket 1, at this time, the Hall switch 16 generates a corresponding signal by sensing the magnetic field change of the magnet and sends it to the controller, and the controller can judge whether the ice storage box is drawn out.

[0059] In addition, the refrigerator assembly further includes a sealing cover 14 covering the top of the ice storage bucket 1. The sealing cover 14 seals and shields the ice making box 2, thereby preventing external dust, impurities, etc. from falling into the ice making chamber 201, and further ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of ice making. In addition, it also includes a UV germicidal lamp 15 provided on the sealing cover 14. A light-transmitting glass plate (not shown in the figure) is provided on the sealing cover 14 at a position corresponding to the UV germicidal lamp 15. Thus, the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV germicidal lamp 15 can pass through the glass plate and irradiate the inside of the ice making chamber 201 to sterilize the water in the ice making chamber 201, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the water in the ice making chamber.

[0060] Embodiment 2

[0061] Refer to Figure 6 , the present utility model further provides an ice making module, including the refrigerator assembly of the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 and a cold water tank 17. The ice making box 2, the cold water inlet pipe 5, the cold water tank 17, and the cold water outlet pipe 6 are sequentially connected and form a water circulation system.

[0062] When ice making is required, the hot water supply device can inject hot water into the ice making box 2 through the hot water inlet pipe 7. After the hot water in the ice making box 2 reaches the specified capacity, it starts to cool. When it cools to the specified temperature, the cold water is pumped back into the cold water tank 17 through the cold water inlet pipe 5 for secondary cooling. After the cold water in the cold water tank 17 reaches the specified capacity, it is pumped back into the ice making box 2 through the cold water outlet pipe 6 and starts to make ice; when the ice making is completed, the cold water in the ice making box 2 is pumped back into the cold water tank 17 through the cold water inlet pipe 5. Until there is no excess residual water in the ice making box 2, the driving device 11 drives the ice making box 2 to flip so that the ice cubes fall into the ice storage bucket 1 to achieve ice output.

[0063] In summary, a novel refrigerator assembly and an ice making module having the same provided by the present utility model can, by setting a water level monitoring module, identify that the water is full and automatically stop water injection, thereby avoiding insufficient water level or overflow, and further preventing problems such as water overflow causing pollution and inconvenient cleaning; in addition, by setting an NTC temperature sensor 4, the NTC temperature measuring probe 402 can real-time detect the water temperature in the ice making chamber 201. When the water temperature reaches the specified temperature, the ice making mode is started and the ice making is timed, thereby ensuring the stability of the ice making quality each time.
