[0031] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: an apparatus for making ice in a chemical laboratory, including a cabinet body 1. Two rotating shafts 3 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the top wall of the cabinet body 1. Cabinet covers 4 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two rotating shafts 3. A plurality of connecting columns 5 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the bottom wall of the cabinet cover 4. A mold cover 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the plurality of connecting columns 5. A support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the cabinet body 1. A rotating motor 8 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the support plate 7. An output end of the rotating motor 8 is fixedly connected to a mold groove 9. A water injection groove 10 is formed in the top wall of the mold cover 6. A spray head 11 communicates with the middle of the bottom wall of the cabinet cover 4. A water injection hole 12 is formed in the inner bottom wall of the water injection groove 10. A plurality of drain holes 27 are formed in the left and right sides of the inner wall of the water injection groove 10. A vibration motor 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cabinet body 1. The output end of the vibration motor 13 is on the left side of the mold groove 9. A refrigerator 14 is fixedly connected to the left end of the rear side of the cabinet body 1. A water circulation device 2 is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet body 1;

[0033] Specifically, the cabinet body 1 and the cabinet cover 4 are connected by a rotating shaft 3. After the cabinet cover 4 is closed, water is injected into the water injection groove 10. The water will flow into the mold groove 9 and the mold cover 6 from the spray head 11. The overflowing water will flow into the interior of the cabinet body 1 from the drain holes 27. After injecting a certain amount of water, the refrigerator 14 is turned on to cool the mold. The mold groove 9 is flipped by the rotating motor 8 on the support plate 7. After flipping, the vibration motor 13 vibrates the unmolded ice balls until all the ice balls fall into the interior of the cabinet body 1, so that the ice balls can be made without touching the inside of the equipment.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5, the water circulation device 2 includes a drain outlet 201. The output end of the drain outlet 201 is communicated with a water tank 202. The water tank 202 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom wall of the cabinet body 1. The middle of the rear side of the cabinet body 1 is fixedly connected with a water pump 203. The output end of the water pump 203 is communicated with a water supply pipe 204. The input end of the water supply pipe 204 is communicated at the rear side of the water tank 202. A water purifier 205 is arranged in the middle of the water supply pipe 204. The output end of the water supply pipe 204 is communicated with a connector 206. The output end of the connector 206 is communicated with a hose 207. The output end of the hose 207 is communicated at the input end of the nozzle 11;

[0035] Specifically, since the inner bottom wall of the cabinet body 1 is designed with an inclination angle, the water melted from the ice balls in the cabinet body 1 will flow to the drain outlet 201 through the inclination angle and then flow into the water tank 202 from the drain outlet 201. When in use, the water source in the water tank 202 is pumped into the water supply pipe 204 by the water pump 203. A water purifier 205 is installed in the middle of the water supply pipe 204 to make the water purified before use. The water flows into the connector 206 through the water supply pipe 204. Since the cabinet cover 4 needs to be opened and closed, an ordinary water pipe cannot be bent. At this time, the connector 206 is needed to connect the water supply pipe 204 and the hose 207 so that it can still work well when the cabinet cover 4 is in the open and closed state. The output end of the hose 207 is connected to the nozzle 11 to facilitate water supply to the mold. Through the reuse and purification of water, the waste of water resources is reduced.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a revolving door 15 is opened in the middle of the front side of the cabinet body 1. A sliding groove 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the front side of the cabinet body 1. A temporary storage groove 17 is fixedly connected to the left end of the sliding groove 16. Arc-shaped turntables 18 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower sides inside the revolving door 15; A secondary drain pipe 26 is communicated with the bottom wall of the temporary storage groove 17. The output end of the secondary drain pipe 26 is communicated at the left end of the front side of the water tank 202; A sealing groove 28 is opened at the top end of the inner wall of the cabinet body 1. The inner wall of the sealing groove 28 is clamped on the outer wall of the cabinet cover 4;

[0037] Specifically, the number of ice balls taken out each time can be controlled by the arc-shaped turntable 18 in the revolving door 15. Other ice balls can continue to be stored inside the cabinet body 1 for heat preservation. The ice balls are turned out through the arc-shaped turntable 18 and roll into the temporary storage groove 17 through the sliding groove 16 for convenient taking. A secondary drain pipe 26 is installed on the bottom wall of the temporary storage groove 17 to recycle the water generated after the ice balls in the temporary storage groove 17 melt and keep the dryness inside the temporary storage groove 17. The design of the sealing groove 28 is used to increase the sealing performance between the cabinet body 1 and the cabinet cover 4 so that cold air is not easily lost during the refrigeration process.

[0038] Refer to Figure 2, at the left end of the front side of the cabinet body 1, a control console 19 is fixedly connected. At the front side of the top wall of the control console 19, a plurality of control buttons 20 are fixedly connected. At the rear side of the top wall of the control console 19, a display screen 21 is fixedly connected; at the four corners of the bottom wall of the cabinet body 1, vertical columns 22 are fixedly connected. At the bottom ends of the plurality of vertical columns 22, anti-slip pads 23 are fixedly connected; a first protective shell 24 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the support plate 7, and a second protective shell 25 is fixedly connected to the middle of the left side of the cabinet body 1;

[0039] Specifically, the control console 19 provides a centralized operation area, eliminating the need to search for control devices in various parts of the cabinet body 1. Through the control buttons 20, the operator can intuitively select the required functions or operations. The display screen 21 can display the working status, set parameters, fault information, etc. in real time, helping the user understand and control the operation of the device. The vertical columns 22 play a supporting role for the cabinet body 1. The anti-slip pads 23 are installed at the bottom ends of the vertical columns 22 to increase the friction between the vertical columns 22 and the ground, making the cabinet body 1 more stable and not prone to shaking during work. Since the corners of the rotating motor 8 are relatively sharp, the first protective shell 24 is used to protect the operator from being scratched by the corners of the rotating motor 8. When the vibrating motor 13 performs demoulding, high heat will be generated, and the second protective shell 25 is used to prevent the operator from being scalded.

[0040] Working principle: The connection between the cabinet body 1 and the cabinet cover 4 is connected by a rotating shaft 3, which is convenient to open during the later cleaning of the equipment. After closing the cabinet cover 4, water is injected into the water injection tank 10, and the water will flow from the nozzle 11 into the mold groove 9 and the mold cover 6. The overflow water will flow into the interior of the cabinet body 1 through the drain hole 27. After injecting a certain amount of water, the refrigerator 14 will be started to cool the mold. After the cooling is completed, the ice cubes will adhere to the mold. Then, water is injected into the mold again for demolding. Then, the cabinet cover 4 is opened to quickly discharge the internal cold air to prevent re-adhesion. The mold groove 9 is flipped by the rotating motor 8 on the support plate 7. After flipping, the vibrating motor 13 vibrates the ice balls that have not been demolded until all the ice balls fall into the interior of the cabinet body 1. Then, the mold groove 9 is rotated by the rotating motor 8 again. After the mold groove 9 is restored to its original position, the cabinet cover 4 is closed for the next use, so that the ice balls can be made without touching the interior of the equipment. And because the inner bottom wall of the cabinet body 1 is designed with an inclination angle, the water melted by the ice balls in the cabinet body 1 will flow through the inclination angle into the drain port 201, and then flow from the drain port 201 into the water tank 202. When in use, the water source in the water tank 202 is pumped into the water supply pipe 204 by the water pump 203. A purifier 205 is installed in the middle of the water supply pipe 204 to make the water purified before use. The water flows into the adapter 206 through the water supply pipe 204. Since the cabinet cover 4 needs to be opened and closed, an ordinary water pipe cannot be bent. At this time, the adapter 206 is used to connect the water supply pipe 204 and the hose 207 so that it can still work well when the cabinet cover 4 is in the open and closed state. The output end of the hose 207 is connected to the nozzle 11 to facilitate water supply to the mold. Through the reuse and purification of water, the waste of water resources is reduced.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
