Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ice making, and particularly relates to an ice making tray used in an ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water or other liquids through a refrigeration system. The ice tray inside the ice maker is an aluminum profile ice tray that is used to hold water and is placed in the ice maker to freeze the water in the ice tray into ice.

[0003] The existing ice making tray is composed of a first mold and a second mold. Before use, one of the molds is filled with water, and then the other mold is installed to complete the water filling. The ice making tray after water filling is placed in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator to freeze the water in the ice making tray into ice cubes. However, since the water in the ice making tray can only be frozen into ice cubes by the cold air generated in the ice making chamber, it takes a long time for the ice making tray to make ice, thereby making the ice making efficiency slow. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ice making tray for an ice maker to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an ice making tray for an ice maker, comprising:

[0006] Aluminum profile ice tray, wherein a plurality of ice grid walls are evenly distributed in the aluminum profile ice tray, a plurality of ice grid plates are provided on the surface of the ice grid walls, and a plurality of slots are opened on the surface of the ice grid plates. By inserting the slots on the surface of the ice grid plates into the ice grid walls, a plurality of formed grooves are separated between the ice grid plates and the ice grid walls;

[0007] The refrigerant channels are provided in several groups and are all arranged at the bottom of the forming groove in the aluminum profile ice tray, so that the refrigerant introduced into the refrigerant channels can flow at the bottom of the forming groove, thereby accelerating the refrigeration and forming of ice cubes.

[0008] Preferably, the refrigerant channels are interconnected, and a refrigerant outlet and a refrigerant inlet are provided on the back of the aluminum profile ice tray, and both the refrigerant outlet and the refrigerant inlet are connected to the refrigerant channels.

[0009] Preferably, a hollow refrigerant channel is provided in the ice cube wall and a hollow ice cube walkway is provided at the bottom of the hollow refrigerant channel.

[0010] Preferably, sealing strips are provided at both ends of the aluminum profile ice tray for sealing the refrigerant channel, the hollow refrigerant channel, and the hollow ice tray aisle.

[0011] Preferably, sealing plates for sealing the forming grooves are provided at both ends of the aluminum profile ice tray.

[0012] Preferably, the surface area of the refrigerant channel is 50 to 80 m2. Through the design of the refrigerant channel, the refrigerant flow rate is controlled to achieve the optimal cooling state, and there are refrigerant channels at the bottom and both sides of each forming groove, which realizes simultaneous cooling of three sides of the forming groove, greatly improving the ice-making effect and higher ice-discharging efficiency.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] By filling the forming groove of the aluminum profile ice tray with water for ice making and placing the aluminum profile ice tray in the ice maker, the two sets of external pipes connected to the refrigerant in the ice maker are connected to the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet on the back of the aluminum profile ice tray respectively, so that the refrigerant can enter the refrigerant inlet through the pipe and enter the refrigerant channel through the refrigerant inlet, and then flow at the bottom of the forming groove of the aluminum profile ice tray, so that the water in the forming groove can be refrigerated in conjunction with the water flow rate of the ice maker and the refrigerant in the refrigerant channel, so that the water in the forming groove can be quickly frozen into ice cubes, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of ice making.

[0015] During the process of freezing water into ice cubes, as the water freezes into ice and its volume gradually expands, the expanding outer wall of the ice cube will squeeze the ice grid wall outward and move into the hollow refrigerant channel, so that the hollow refrigerant channel can adapt to the expansion of the ice cube, preventing the expansion of the ice cube from damaging the mold, and maintaining the integrity and shape of the ice cube, avoiding the ice cube from breaking or deforming.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The utility model provides Figure 1-4 The ice making tray for an ice making machine shown includes:

[0023] An aluminum profile ice tray 1 is provided with a plurality of ice grid walls 2 evenly distributed therein. A plurality of ice grid plates 3 are provided on the surface of the ice grid walls 2. A plurality of slots 4 are provided on the surface of the ice grid plates 3. By inserting the slots 4 on the surface of the ice grid plates 3 into the ice grid walls 2, a plurality of formed grooves 5 are formed between the ice grid plates 3 and the ice grid walls 2.

[0024] The refrigerant channels 6 are provided in several groups and are all arranged at the bottom of the forming groove 5 in the aluminum profile ice tray 1, so that the refrigerant introduced into the refrigerant channels 6 can flow at the bottom of the forming groove 5 to accelerate the refrigeration and forming of ice cubes.

[0025] The refrigerant channels 6 are interconnected, and a refrigerant outlet 7 and a refrigerant inlet 8 are provided on the back of the aluminum profile ice tray 1. The refrigerant outlet 7 and the refrigerant inlet 8 are both connected to the refrigerant channels 6, so that the refrigerant can flow through the interconnected refrigerant channels 6.

[0026] A hollow refrigerant channel 9 is provided in the ice compartment wall 2 , and a hollow ice compartment walkway 10 is provided at the bottom of the hollow refrigerant channel 9 .

[0027] Sealing strips 11 for sealing the refrigerant channel 6, the hollow refrigerant channel 9, and the hollow ice cube walkway 10 are provided at both ends of the aluminum profile ice cube 1. Sealing plates 12 for sealing the forming groove 5 are provided at both ends of the aluminum profile ice cube 1. The sealing strips 11 can seal the refrigerant channel 6, the hollow refrigerant channel 9, and the hollow ice cube walkway 10 to prevent the entry of debris and water leakage, and can also prevent the refrigerant entering the refrigerant channel 6 from leaking. The sealing plate 12 can perform secondary sealing on the refrigerant channel 6, the hollow refrigerant channel 9, and the hollow ice cube walkway 10 to enhance the tightness of the seal.

[0028] The surface area of the refrigerant channel 6 is 50 to 80 m2. Through the design of the refrigerant channel 6, the refrigerant flow rate is controlled to achieve the optimal cooling state. In addition, there are refrigerant channels 6 at the bottom and both sides of each forming groove 5, which realizes simultaneous cooling of three sides of the forming groove 5, greatly improving the ice making effect and higher ice output efficiency.

[0029] The ice making machine uses an ice tray. By filling the forming groove 5 of the aluminum profile ice tray 1 with water for making ice, and placing the aluminum profile ice tray 1 in the ice maker, the two sets of external pipes connected to the refrigerant in the ice maker are respectively connected to the refrigerant inlet 8 and the refrigerant outlet 7 on the back of the aluminum profile ice tray 1, so that the refrigerant can enter the refrigerant inlet 8 through the pipes and enter the refrigerant channel 6 through the refrigerant inlet 8, thereby flowing at the bottom of the forming groove 5 of the aluminum profile ice tray 1. After flowing in the refrigerant channel 6, the refrigerant can flow out of the refrigerant channel 6 through the pipe connected at the refrigerant outlet 7 and flow back into the equipment for holding the refrigerant, thereby forming a circulation state and flowing in the refrigerant channel 6. By coordinating the water flow rate of the ice maker and the refrigerant in the refrigerant channel 6 to refrigerate the water in the forming groove 5, the water in the forming groove 5 can be quickly frozen into ice cubes, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of ice making.

[0030] In the process of freezing water into ice cubes, as the water freezes into ice and its volume gradually expands, the expanded outer wall of the ice cube will squeeze the ice grid wall 2 outward and move into the hollow refrigerant channel 9, so that the hollow refrigerant channel 9 can adapt to the expansion of the ice cube, preventing the expansion of the ice cube from damaging the mold, and maintaining the integrity and shape of the ice cube, avoiding the ice cube from breaking or deforming.
