Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an improvement of an ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a device that quickly produces ice. It uses a refrigeration system to cool water below freezing, causing it to solidify into ice. Ice makers come in various types, including small home ice makers and large commercial ice makers. Home ice makers typically meet daily cooling needs, while commercial ice makers are widely used in restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and other places. Ice makers are easy to operate, automatically complete the ice-making process, and produce ice cubes in a variety of shapes, including square and round. They provide a convenient way to enjoy refreshing drinks and keep food fresh in hot weather.

[0003] The ice made by the ice maker is stored in the ice storage box in the front center, thereby forming a natural freezer in the front section of the box body, but the existing ice maker does not effectively utilize this space. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model for solving the technical problem is: an ice maker, comprising a main body, a refrigeration cycle device provided in the main body, an ice making device connected to the refrigeration cycle device, an ice basket located in front of the ice making device, the ice basket located in an operating chamber, a cover body provided above the operating chamber; a storage space is provided in the hollow space of the cover body.

[0006] Preferably, the cover body is composed of two parts: a cover bottom for accommodating items and an upper cover, and the upper cover is covered on the cover bottom to seal the storage space.

[0007] Preferably, the cover bottom is a thin-walled member with an open upper end, and the storage space is partially or entirely located in the cover bottom.

[0008] Preferably, the front end of the upper cover is provided with a smooth transition.

[0009] To further expand the storage space, the upper cover is provided with a ridge forming part of the storage space.

[0010] In order to facilitate lifting the cover, grip ears are provided on both sides of the cover.

[0011] Further preferably, the handle includes an upper handle on the upper cover and a lower handle on the cover bottom.

[0012] In order to facilitate holding the upper cover, a handle is provided on the upper side of the upper cover.

[0013] In order to expand the storage space, the storage space of the cover bottom is larger at the front end and smaller at the rear end, and the front end of the lower part of the cover body is lower and the rear end is higher.

[0014] In order to facilitate accurate positioning of the cover and improve the sealing performance, positioning edges are provided downward on both sides of the cover. When the cover is installed on the positioning edges, the positioning edges are inserted into the operating cavity of the main body.

[0015] A positioning method for a cover body, wherein the edge of the operating cavity is provided with a circle of positioning edges, and the cover body covers the positioning edges.

[0016] The difference between the present invention and the ice maker in the prior art when in use is that the ice maker has a lid with a built-in storage space. The upper cover of the lid can be conveniently opened to put in the items to be refrigerated, and the lid can also be removed as a whole to take out the ice, which is very energy-saving and convenient. The other usage methods are the same as those of the ice maker in the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. It can fully utilize the excess cold generated during the ice making process to refrigerate beverages, thereby improving energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and achieving energy-saving and high efficiency. 2. It can both make ice and refrigerate beverages, saving space and equipment costs. 3. The built-in storage space can also store ice cubes, expanding the ice storage capacity of the machine itself. 4. The built-in storage space components can be taken out separately and used as an ice storage bucket after ice cubes are placed in it, making it multi-purpose and easy to clean.
