Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] By Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, an extrusion ice-making device is provided in an embodiment of the present utility model, which includes a machine body 1. The machine body 1 includes a refrigeration unit, an ice-making unit and an ice storage box 2. The ice-making unit includes an ice-making motor 3, an ice-making tank 4 and an ice-stirring rod 5. The output end of the ice-making motor 3 is connected to the ice-stirring rod 5, and the output end of the ice-stirring rod 5 is arranged above the notch of the ice-making tank 4 to cut off the ice cubes formed at the ice-making tank 4. The output end of the refrigeration unit is connected to the ice-making unit. The ice-making tank 4 is located at the top of the machine body 1, and the output end of the ice-making tank 4 is communicated with the ice storage box 2 to allow the cut ice cubes to enter the ice storage box 2. It further includes an ice discharging mechanism 6. The input end of the ice discharging mechanism 6 is arranged in the ice storage box 2, and the output end is connected to the ice discharging port 7 on the machine body 1. By separately arranging the ice-making tank 4 and the ice-stirring rod 5 from the ice storage box 2 and arranging the ice-making tank 4 at the top of the machine body 1; a plurality of ice-making tanks 4 are arranged in a circular arrangement. When the ice cubes in the ice-making tank 4 are gradually extruded, the output end of the ice-stirring rod 5 driven by the ice-making motor 3 can rotate on the ice-making tank 4 to completely disconnect the extruded ice cubes from the ice-making tank 4, knock them off the ice-making tank 4 and then enter the ice storage box 2 for storage. When in use, the ice cubes are then transported to the ice discharging port 7 through the ice discharging mechanism 6, thus avoiding the contact between the ice-stirring rod 5 and a large number of stored ice cubes, preventing the ice cubes from being broken into small pieces by hitting and not affecting the rotation efficiency of the ice-stirring rod 5. Moreover, the method of cutting ice first and then discharging ice ensures the integrity of the ice cubes.

[0024] Preferably, the refrigeration unit includes a compressor 8, a condenser 9, a drying filter 10, an evaporator 11, a first water storage box 12, a second water storage box 13 and a water pump 14. Among them, through the connection of the compressor 8, the condenser 9, the drying filter 10 and the evaporator 11, the evaporator 11 can quickly generate low temperature, which is the conventional principle of ice-making and will not be elaborated here. Further, the evaporator 11 is connected to the ice-making tank 4. The second water storage box 13 is located at the top of the machine body 1. A water pump 14 is connected between the second water storage box 13 and the first water storage box, and the second water storage box 13 is connected to the evaporator 11 through a pipeline. By providing the second water storage box 13 to supplement water into the evaporator 11 for ice-making, it is convenient to supplement water during ice-making. An extrusion mechanism (not shown in the figure) is further arranged in the evaporator 11. The ice-making motor 3 is used to simultaneously control the extrusion mechanism to rotate and extrude ice slag into an ice column shape and extend it from the notch of the ice-making tank 4, so as to be cut off by the ice-stirring rod 5 and guided to the ice storage box 2.

[0025] Furthermore, a connection groove 15 is provided at the top of the body 1, and the ice-making groove 4 is located within the connection groove 15; an opening communicating with the connection groove 15 is provided at the upper end of the ice storage box 2. When the ice cubes are disconnected by the ice stirring rod 5, the remaining force will carry them away from the top of the ice-making groove 4 and into the connection groove 15. The bottom end of the connection groove 15 is slightly inclined towards the opening, so that the ice cubes are guided into the ice storage box 2. At the same time, the connection groove 15 faces the opening direction, and the distance between the two side walls gradually increases, showing an involute design, which facilitates the ice cubes to be evenly distributed when entering the ice storage box 2, avoiding local accumulation and also facilitating quick ice output.

[0026] Preferably, a liquid level switch 16 is further provided in the second water storage box 13. By setting the liquid level switch 16, when the water in the second water storage box 13 is lower than the set water line, the water pump 14 can be opened for water replenishment, and the high water level can direct the water to the evaporator 11 through the water pressure to replenish the water used for ice making, so as to repeat ice making, make full use of the ice-making water, and the water flow rate is low during ice making, and the preparation speed is faster.

[0027] Preferably, an ice receiving box 17 is further provided in the ice storage box 2. The ice receiving box 17 is used to receive the ice cubes input from the ice-making unit into the ice storage box 2. When the ice cubes are separated from the ice-making groove 4 and enter the ice storage box 2, they fall into the ice receiving box 17; the ice output mechanism 6 includes an ice output motor 18 and an ice output screw 19, and the output end of the ice output motor 18 is connected to the ice output screw 19; the ice output screw 19 is adaptively arranged above the ice receiving box 17. By providing the ice receiving box 17 to further receive the ice cubes, and the bottom of the ice receiving box 17 should be parallel to the shaft of the ice output screw 19, preferably in a U-shaped setting, so that it can better cooperate with the ice output motor 18 driving the ice output screw 19 to rotate to transport the ice cubes to the ice output port 7, and the rotation and transportation of the ice output screw 19 can produce the effect of stirring and separating the ice cubes, avoiding the ice cubes sticking together after long-term accumulation.

[0028] Preferably, the bottom of the ice receiving box 17 is inclined, and the side away from the ice output port 7 is the lower end. In this way, when used for a long time, the water melted from some ice cubes will be guided away from the ice output port 7, avoiding the ice cubes being with water when coming out of the ice output port 7.

[0029] Furthermore, a drain port 20 is provided at the bottom end of the ice receiving box 17. Through the drain port 20, the water at the bottom of the ice receiving box 17 can be quickly separated from the ice cubes and discharged into the water collection bin at the bottom of the ice storage box 2, and can be directly discharged or used for circulation.

[0030] Preferably, an infrared switch 21 for detecting the number of ice cubes is provided in the ice storage box 2. By setting the infrared switch 21 sensor, when the ice cubes accumulate excessively, the ice making of the body 1 can be stopped, and when it is lower than the set amount, the ice making working state can be maintained for use.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, a closing mechanism 22 is provided between the ice storage box 2 and the ice outlet 7. The closing mechanism 22 drives the closing door to open and close through a motor. A silica gel pad is provided on the closing door, so as to ensure that the ice storage box 2 can seal the connection end when not in use, buffer and avoid the loss of cold air going out, thus playing a role in heat preservation. At the same time, it can also play an isolation role to prevent external pollutants from entering the interior of the ice storage box 2 and contaminating the ice cubes.

[0032] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. 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.
