The characteristics are: there are two or more evaporation pipes, and the two or more evaporation pipes are arranged side by side and are respectively fixed on the fixed pipe. Advantages: changing the single evaporation pipe in the existing technology into multiple side-by-side evaporation pipes, and each evaporation pipe forms its own return pipeline. In this way, the time for the refrigerant to pass through the evaporation pipe is shortened, the evaporation temperature difference at the inlet and outlet of the evaporation pipe is reduced, the disadvantages of slow ice-making and ice-detaching of the existing evaporator are overcome, and at the same time, the problem of uneven ice formation in the front and rear sections of the evaporation pipe is solved, improving the ice cube quality and ice-making capacity of the entire ice maker.

[0004] The above-mentioned evaporator still has the following problems in use; since the above-mentioned evaporator and the fixed pipe are welded, it is inconvenient to disassemble and replace when a single evaporator is damaged and needs to be repaired, which may affect the subsequent normal use of the entire ice maker and cause losses to users.

Specific embodiments

[0027] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation manners of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] The present utility model provides an energy-saving ice maker evaporator as shown in Figures 1-4 which includes an evaporator main body 1. A channel 2 is arranged on one side of the evaporator main body 1, and a fixed optical rod 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the channel 2. A movable block 4 is movably sleeved on the outer circle of the fixed optical rod 3. It also includes

[0029] a limiting assembly 6. A limiting block 601 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable block 4, and the limiting block 601 moves inside the limiting groove 602. The limiting groove 602 communicates with the channel 2. The movement of the limiting block 601 fixedly connected to the movable block 4 inside the limiting groove 602 can be used to ensure the stability of the movement of the movable block 4;

[0030] a clamping assembly 7. A notch one 701 is formed inside the movable block 4, and a short rod one 702 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the notch one 701. One end of an inclined plate 703 is movably sleeved on the outer circle of the short rod one 702. The other end of the inclined plate 703 is movably connected to a top plate 704 through a short rod two 707. The top plate 704 matches the fitting groove 708 arranged inside the evaporator main body 1. By setting the matching of the top plate 704 and the fitting groove 708, the matching installation of two evaporator main bodies 1 is ensured.

[0031] To ensure the stability of the movement of the movable block 4 while ensuring that the movable block 4 does not affect the complete matching installation of the two groups of evaporator bodies 1, two movable blocks 4 are provided in terms of quantity, and the two movable blocks 4 are symmetrically and movably sleeved on the outer ring of the fixed optical rod 3. Moreover, the top wall and the bottom wall of the movable block 4 are flush with the top wall and the bottom wall of the platen of the evaporator body 1, and the front end of the movable block 4 is flush with the position of the notch of the channel 2. In this way, when extracting one evaporator body 1 from multiple groups of evaporator bodies 1 or installing the missing evaporator body 1, the movable block 4 will not cause obstruction.

[0032] To ensure the reset movement of the movable block 4, a connecting spring 5 is fixedly connected between the two movable blocks 4, and the two ends of the connecting spring 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of the two movable blocks 4 that are movably sleeved on the outer ring of the fixed optical rod 3. The connecting spring 5 is movably sleeved on the outer ring of the fixed optical rod 3. In this way, under the action of the elastic force of the connecting spring 5, it can be ensured that the top plate 704 that is movably connected to the two movable blocks 4 is in an unfolded state, so that the top plate 704 is completely matched with the fitting groove 708 provided inside the adjacent evaporator body 1, thereby ensuring the tight connection of two groups and multiple groups of evaporator bodies 1.

[0033] The top wall and the bottom wall of the first notch 701 are in contact with and slidably connected to the top wall and the bottom wall of the inclined plate 703, and the front ends of the inclined plates 703 movably connected inside the two symmetrically arranged movable blocks 4 are opposite to each other. Moreover, a top plate 704 is movably installed between the two opposite inclined plates 703. Two short rods 707 are respectively movably inserted through the two ends of the top plate 704 via bearings. Notches 706 are provided at the four corners of the two ends of the top plate 704, and the short rods 707 extend into the notches 706. Moreover, the upper and lower ends of the short rods 707 are flush with the upper and lower ends of the top plate 704. The upper and lower ends of the short rods 707 are respectively rotatably connected to the ends of the inclined plates 703 provided with notches 705 via bearings. Notches 705 are opened at the ends of the inclined plates 703 far from the movable blocks 4. In this way, it is ensured to realize the movable connection between the inclined plate 703 and the top plate 704 and ensure the stability of the movable connection between the inclined plate 703 and the top plate 704. In this way, when the movable block 4 is stressed and moves, the top plate 704 that is movably connected to the movable block 4 via the inclined plate 703 moves synchronously, thereby facilitating the matching and separation of the top plate 704 and the fitting groove 708.

[0034] The fitting groove 708 is in a horizontal "trapezoidal" shape, and the inner wall of the fitting groove 708 is in contact with and slidably connected to the side walls of the top plate 704 and the inclined plate 703. Moreover, the fitting groove 708 and the channel 2 are respectively located on both sides of an evaporator body 1. In this way, the matching of the top plate 704 and the fitting groove 708 can ensure the matching connection between multiple groups of evaporator bodies 1, and at the same time, it is also relatively convenient to remove the evaporator body 1 in the middle position.

[0035] By matching the top plates 704 on the side of multiple evaporator bodies 1 with the corresponding fitting grooves 708, the multiple evaporator bodies 1 are tightly installed. At the same time, under the action of the engaging assembly 7, it is also convenient to extract the evaporator body 1 that needs to be replaced or repaired. Subsequently, the new evaporator body 1 can be inserted and installed. This ensures more energy-saving in the use of the evaporator body 1, and replacing a specific evaporator body 1 ensures lower maintenance and repair costs.

[0036] When it is necessary to extract the damaged evaporator body 1, an outward pulling force is applied to the A evaporator body 1. In this way, relative movement occurs between the top plate 704 movably connected inside the A evaporator body 1 and the fitting groove 708 provided inside the adjacent B evaporator body 1. At this time, the top plate 704 and the inclined plate 703 inside the A evaporator body 1 cause the movable block 4 to displace during the movement process. The top plate 704 is extruded and moves inside the channel 2, so that the top plate 704 gradually leaves the inside of the fitting groove 708 inside the corresponding B evaporator body 1, thus facilitating the removal and replacement of the A evaporator body 1 (the evaporator bodies 1 always at both sides are also installed with the inner wall of the ice maker through the engaging assembly 7).

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
