[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying Figures 1 - 4 , Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Embodiment:

[0029] Such as Figures 1 - 4As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides an ice discharging device for an ice maker, which includes a driving part 1, a transmission part 2, an ice guiding part 3 and an ice discharging part 4. The output end of the driving part 1 is connected to the transmission part 2. One end of the transmission part 2 far from the driving part 1 is installed with the ice guiding part 3, and the ice discharging part 4 is installed outside the ice guiding part 3. The ice guiding part 3 includes an ice guiding spherical part 31 and an ice scraping piece 32. The ice guiding spherical part 31 is located at one end of the transmission part 2, and the ice scraping piece 32 is above the ice guiding spherical part 31. During processing, driven by the driving part 1, the transmission part 2 drives the ice to rise and evaporate, then it is formed through the ice guiding spherical part 31 and discharged by the ice scraping piece 32, and then discharged through the ice discharging part 4. It not only has a high ice discharging efficiency, but also has no residue in the transmission part 2 and has high stability. During long-term use, it can ensure the quality of the formed ice, thus ensuring the service life of the equipment.

[0030] The transmission part 2 includes an extrusion evaporator 21, a transmission screw 22 and a transmission pin shaft 23. The bottom of the extrusion evaporator 21 is connected to the driving part, the top of the extrusion evaporator 21 is connected to the ice discharging part 4. The transmission screw 22 is located inside the extrusion evaporator 21. The bottom of the transmission screw 22 is connected to the driving part 1, the top of the transmission screw 22 is connected to the transmission pin shaft 23. The transmission pin shaft 23 is located inside the ice guiding spherical part 31 and is connected to the ice scraping piece 32. A sealing ring 24 is sleeved outside the middle part of the transmission pin shaft 23, and a sealing ring 25 is sleeved on the top of the transmission pin shaft 23. The top of the transmission pin shaft 23 is connected to the ice scraping piece 32 through a locking bolt 26.

[0031] Driven by the driving part 1, the transmission screw 22 rotates, driving the ice entering the equipment to rise, then it is formed and guided through the ice guiding spherical part 31 and discharged through the ice scraping piece 32 and the ice discharging part 4. The sealing ring 24 and the sealing ring 25 are installed between the transmission pin shaft 23 and the ice guiding spherical part 31. During normal ice making, it can be lubricated, sealed and waterproof inside, and it is convenient to completely export the ice outside, avoiding ice block extrusion from damaging the ice discharging part 4 or the extrusion evaporator 21. The locking bolt 26 can reinforce the transmission pin shaft 23 and the ice scraping piece 32 to prevent them from falling off.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the driving part 1 includes a driving motor 11 and a speed reducer 12. The speed reducer 12 is installed below the extrusion evaporator 21. One side of the top of the speed reducer 12 is installed with the driving motor 11. A fixed flange 13 is arranged at the bottom of the speed reducer 12. Driven by the driving motor 11, after being decelerated by the speed reducer 12, it drives the transmission screw 22 located inside the extrusion evaporator 21 to rotate, thus facilitating ice making.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1, the ice outlet part 4 includes an ice outlet forming part 41, a fastener 42 and a movable window 43. The ice outlet forming part 41 is installed on the top of the transmission part 2. An ice outlet is provided on one side of the ice outlet forming part 41, and the fastener 42 is installed outside. A movable window 43 is provided on the top of the ice outlet forming part 41. The internal ice outlet condition can be observed in real time by using the movable window 43, and the fastener 42 improves the connection stability of the ice outlet forming part 41.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] When the ice maker is in use, the reduction gearbox 12 installed on the fixed flange 13 rotates through the driving motor 11, causing the transmission screw 22 inside the extrusion evaporator 21 to rotate. When the refrigeration starts, the transmission screw 22 inside the extrusion evaporator 21 continuously conveys the ice inside the extrusion evaporator 21 upward, rises through the outlet at the top of the extrusion evaporator 21 in a circle and enters the ice outlet forming part 41. When the extruded ice rises to a certain height and touches the ice guiding spherical part 31, most of it becomes broken ice and is discharged along the outlet direction. In addition, it is not excluded that some ice continues to rise above the ice guiding spherical part 31, and the ice is pushed out of the ice outlet by the rotation of the ice scraping piece 32 installed on the transmission shaft pin. A sealing ring 24 and a sealing ring 25 are installed on the transmission pin shaft inside the ice guiding spherical part 31, which play a dual sealing role, facilitating the ice melting phenomenon at the ice outlet caused by the ice being full for too long or no one taking ice for a long time, facilitating the waterproofing from the transmission shaft pin to the top position of the screw of the extrusion evaporator 21, preventing failures such as damage caused by secondary icing and dilution and overflow of lubricating oil. An overflow port and a movable window 43 are provided on the top of the ice outlet forming part 41, which minimizes the risk of the ice outlet forming part 41 being damaged by ice, and the internal ice outlet condition can be observed in real time, facilitating use.

[0036] In summary, this equipment has the characteristics of stable ice outlet and high service life.

[0037] 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 recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features.
