[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a household mini ice maker, including a box body 1;

[0031] A vibration device is provided on the box body 1;

[0032] The vibration device includes a sliding seat 5, an ice making plate 9 and a placing plate 8. A placing plate groove 6 is formed on the upper surface of the sliding seat 5. The outer wall of the placing plate 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the placing plate groove 6. The outer wall of the ice making plate 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the placing plate groove 6. The upper surface of the placing plate 8 is in contact with the lower surface of the ice making plate 9. Four corners of the upper end inner wall of the box body 1 are fixedly connected with fixing plates 2. The upper surfaces of the four fixing plates 2 are fixedly connected with fixing rods 7. Four fixing rod grooves 10 are formed on the upper surface of the sliding seat 5. The outer walls of the four fixing rods 7 are sleeved with return springs 11. The outer wall of the sliding seat 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the box body 1. The outer walls of the four fixing rods 7 are respectively slidably connected to the inside of the corresponding fixing rod grooves 10. Two ends of the four return springs 11 are respectively fixedly connected with the upper surface of the corresponding fixing plate 2 and the lower surface of the sliding seat 5. A vibration motor 18 is installed in the concave part of the lower surface of the sliding seat 5.

[0033] Among them, a heat preservation plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the box body 1. The heat preservation plate 15 is in an "L" shape. A box cover 3 is installed at the upper end opening of the box body 1. A condenser 13 is installed inside the box body 1. A capillary tube 16 is installed on the outer wall of the upper end of the heat preservation plate 15. A compressor 14 is installed inside the box body 1. The output end of the compressor 14 is fixedly connected to the condenser 13 through a hose. An evaporator 12 is installed inside the upper end of the box body 1. Two ends of the capillary tube 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower surface of the evaporator 12 and the upper surface of the condenser 13. A cabinet door 4 is installed on the outer wall of the box body 1. A storage box 17 is placed on the right side of the inner bottom of the box body 1. The outer wall of the storage box 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the heat preservation plate 15.

[0034] Further, when using this device, it is started by connecting an external power supply. First, open the box cover 3 and add an appropriate amount of water for ice making into the slots on the ice making plate 9. Then, control the operation of the compressor 14 through the control panel, so that the compressor 14 compresses the refrigerant inside into a high-pressure saturated liquid, and then discharges it into the condenser 13 through a hose for heat dissipation and condensation. Then, the capillary tube 16 is used for throttling, pressure reduction and temperature reduction. Finally, the refrigerant in a gas-liquid mixture enters the evaporator 12 and becomes a low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This cycle repeats until the water in the ice making plate 9 is made into ice, and then the control panel controls the compressor 14 to stop operating. Then, the force generated when the vibration motor 18 drives the sliding seat 5 to vibrate causes the return spring 11 to contract and reduce its force.

[0035] Further, then the vibration generated by the sliding seat 5 causes the ice cubes inside the ice making plate 9 to separate from the slots on the ice making plate 9. Then, after the ice making plate 9 is taken out, the ice cubes will remain on the placing plate 8. Then, while taking it out through the handle on the placing plate 8, pour the ice cubes into the storage box 17. Then, the insulation board 15 is used to keep the ice cubes inside the storage box 17 warm.

[0036] The vibration generated by the sliding seat 5 in the vibration device causes the ice cubes inside the ice making plate 9 to separate from the slots on the ice making plate 9. Then, after the ice making plate 9 is taken out, the ice cubes will remain on the placing plate 8. Then, while taking it out through the handle on the placing plate 8, pour the ice cubes into the storage box 17. This avoids manual de-icing, effectively improves the automation of the equipment, and at the same time avoids equipment damage caused by improper user operation or excessive force, improves the practicability of the equipment and extends the service life of the equipment. While taking it out through the handle on the placing plate 8, pour the ice cubes into the storage box 17. Then, the insulation board 15 is used to keep the ice cubes inside the storage box 17 warm. In this way, the stored ice can be preserved for a long time, saving production costs and facilitating users to take ice cubes.

[0037] Working principle: First, open the lid 3 and add an appropriate amount of water for ice making into the grooves on the ice making plate 9. Then, control the operation of the compressor 14 through the control panel, so that the compressor 14 compresses the refrigerant inside into a high-pressure saturated liquid, and then discharges it into the condenser 13 through a hose for heat dissipation and condensation. Then, the capillary tube 16 is used for throttling and pressure reduction to lower the temperature. Finally, the refrigerant in a gas-liquid mixture enters the evaporator 12 and becomes a low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This cycle repeats until the water in the ice making plate 9 is made into ice. Then, the control panel controls the compressor 14 to stop operating. Next, the vibrating motor 18 drives the sliding seat 5 to vibrate, and the generated force causes the return spring 11 to contract and reduce its force. Then, the vibration generated by the sliding seat 5 causes the ice cubes inside the ice making plate 9 to separate from the grooves on the ice making plate 9. Then, after the ice making plate 9 is taken out, the ice cubes will remain on the placement plate 8. Then, while taking it out through the handle on the placement plate 8, the ice cubes are poured into the storage box 17. Then, the heat insulation board 15 is used to keep the ice cubes inside the storage box 17 warm.
