Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice makers, in particular to an integrated ice maker. Background Technique

[0002] An integrated ice maker, that is, it has the ability to make ice and store ice at the same time. When the existing integrated ice maker is in use, the ice cubes made by it directly fall out of the mold, resulting in the continuous accumulation of ice cubes on one side of the mold. When there is no one to level the ice cubes later, as the ice cubes are continuously made, the newly generated ice cubes may enter the circulation water tank, and will limit the flipping of the deflector on one side of the mold, making the newly produced ice cubes unable to fall out of the mold, affecting the normal use of the ice maker.

Detailed Embodiments

[0017] The following further describes the detailed embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] As Figures 1-5 shown, an integrated ice maker includes an ice maker 1. The interior of the ice maker 1 has a cavity. A partition 2 is arranged inside the cavity. The partition 2 is used to divide the interior of the working cavity into a water storage cavity 3 and an ice storage cavity 4. A sealing door 5 is arranged on the ice maker 1 and on one side of the ice storage cavity 4. A refrigeration module 6 is arranged inside the water storage cavity 3. An ice tray 7 is arranged on the refrigeration module 6. A circulation pump 8 is arranged inside the water storage cavity 3. The circulation pump 8 has a water absorption end 9 and a water outlet end 10. Fixed rods 11 are symmetrically arranged inside the cavity. It further includes a fixing plate 12. Both ends of the fixing plate 12 are slidably connected to the fixed rods 11. A first electric push rod 13 is arranged on the fixing plate 12. The output end of the first electric push rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the cavity. An installation plate 14 is arranged below the fixing plate 12. Electric heating rods 15 corresponding to the ice tray 7 are evenly arranged on the installation plate 14. A second electric push rod 16 is arranged on the fixing plate 12. The output end of the second electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to the installation plate 14.

[0019] The refrigeration module 6 refrigerates by means of a compressor. When making ice cubes, the circulation pump 8 is first started. The circulation pump 8 conveys the purified water in the water storage cavity 3 to the ice tray 7 through the water outlet end 10 via the water suction end 9. The landing point of the water discharged from the water outlet end 10 is located at the center of the ice tray 7, so as to facilitate the water to flow towards the periphery of the ice tray 7 and fill all the spaces. Multiple water outlet ends 10 can also be set to convey water to the ice tray 7 simultaneously. After the water conveyance to the ice tray 7 is completed, the temperature of the refrigeration module 6 is reduced by the compressor. The refrigeration module 6 transfers the low temperature to the ice tray 7, causing the water in the ice tray 7 to freeze. When the water in the ice tray 7 freezes into ice cubes, the ice in the ice tray 7 is fixedly connected to the electric heating rod 15. A semiconductor heating plate is arranged inside the lower end of the ice tray 7. Before transferring the ice in the ice tray 7, the ice tray 7 is first heated by the semiconductor heating plate. After heating, the ice cubes are separated from the ice tray 7. Then the second electric push rod 16 is started, and the output end of the second electric push rod 16 contracts and drives the mounting plate 14 and the electric heating rod 15 to move upward, thereby taking out the ice cubes in the ice tray 7. Then the output end of the first electric push rod 13 is controlled to extend, moving the fixing plate 12 from the water storage cavity 3 to the ice storage cavity 4. Then the electric heating rod 15 is started, causing the ice cubes at the bottom end of the electric heating rod 15 to separate from the electric heating rod 15, thereby completing the discharging of the ice cubes. The extending length of the first electric push rod 13 can be set each time, so that the extending length of the first electric push rod 13 cycles continuously, facilitating the uniform discharging of the ice cubes in the ice storage cavity 4.

[0020] The temperature inside the ice making box 1 is controlled by the compressor. By means of the compressor, the temperature inside the ice making box 1 can be kept low to facilitate the preservation of ice cubes.

[0021] Furthermore, a movable plate 17 is arranged inside the cavity and above the partition plate 2. The upper end of the movable plate 17 is rotatably connected to the inner top side of the cavity. A through groove 18 is formed in the movable plate 17. During the ice making process of the ice tray 7, the movable plate 17 and the partition plate 2 can separate the water storage cavity 3 from the ice storage cavity 4, reducing the air flow between the water storage cavity 3 and the ice storage cavity 4. Thus, when the sealing plate is opened, the loss of cold air inside the ice making box 1 can be reduced. And the existence of the through groove 18 on the movable plate 17 does not affect the flipping of the movable plate 17. When the ice cubes on the electric heating rod 15 are discharged into the ice storage cavity 4, one end of the first electric push rod 13 will contact the movable plate 17 and push the movable plate 17 to flip.

[0022] Furthermore, a guide rod 19 is arranged on the upper surface of the mounting plate 14. The guide rod 19 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 12, improving the stability of the up and down movement of the mounting plate 14.

[0023] Furthermore, a limit block 20 is arranged at the upper end of the guide rod 19 to prevent the guide rod 19 from being completely separated from the fixing plate 12.

[0024] Further, a handle 21 is provided on the outer surface of the sealing door 5 for facilitating the control of the movement of the sealing door 5. A track for the sliding of the sealing door 5 is provided on the refrigerator 1, and a sealing strip is provided inside the track, which can not only play a role in heat preservation but also maintain a large frictional force with the sealing door 5 so that the sealing door 5 can stop at any position.

[0025] When the device is in use, the discharged ice cubes will not affect the normal ice making of the ice tray 7, and by setting the extension length of the first electric push rod 13 each time, the ice cubes can be evenly discharged in the ice storage cavity 4, improving the space utilization rate in the ice storage cavity 4 and ensuring that the normal preparation of the ice cubes is not affected.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
