[0030] The "first" and "second" in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are only used to distinguish names.
[0031] like Figures 1-8 As shown, an ice making machine in one embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 1, a ventilation hood 2 and a dust-proof structure 4. The ventilation hood 2 is arranged at the lower front side of the cabinet 1, and the ventilation hood 2 is detachably connected to the cabinet 1. A placement opening 21 is provided on one side of the ventilation hood 2, and a fixing frame 3 is fixedly provided on the side of the ventilation hood 2 close to the cabinet 1. A accommodating cavity is formed between the fixing frame 3 and the ventilation hood 2, forming a stable frame to support the dust-proof net 41, ensuring that the dust-proof net 41 will not loosen or fall off during use, thereby ensuring the dust-proof effect; the dust-proof structure 4 passes through the placement opening 21 into the accommodating cavity. When the dust-proof structure 4 is damaged or the dust-proof effect is poor and needs to be replaced, the operator does not need to remove all the bolts between the ventilation hood 2 and the cabinet 1, but only needs to easily remove the dust-proof structure 4 through the placement opening 21 to replace or clean the dust-proof structure 4, making the replacement and selection of the dust-proof structure 4 more flexible. The user can choose the appropriate material, specification and performance of the dust-proof structure 4 according to actual needs to meet different working environments and production requirements, simplify the maintenance process, reduce the operating steps, and improve maintenance efficiency.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the dustproof structure 4 includes a dustproof net 41 and a locking piece 42, one end of the dustproof net 41 is connected to the locking piece 42, and the end of the dustproof net 41 away from the locking piece 42 passes through the placement opening 21 into the accommodating cavity, and the dustproof net 41 is abutted against the outer wall of the ventilation hood 2 through the locking piece 42, so that the replacement of the dustproof net 41 becomes very simple and quick, without the need to disassemble the entire ventilation hood 2 or other complex components, thereby greatly improving maintenance efficiency.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: a hand-gripping groove 421 is provided on the side of the locking member 42 away from the dustproof net 41, which facilitates the operator to firmly hold the locking member 42 to replace the dustproof net 41, thereby reducing the safety risks during the operation.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the length of the retaining member 42 is greater than the length of the placement opening 21, and the operator only needs to connect one end of the dustproof net 41 to the retaining member 42, and then pass the retaining member 42 together with the dustproof net 41 through the placement opening 21 and push it into the accommodating cavity to complete the installation. Since the retaining member 42 is long enough, it can more easily abut against the outer wall of the ventilation hood 2.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: a first connecting hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and a second connecting hole 22 is provided at the bottom of the ventilation hood 2. The first connecting hole 11 and the second connecting hole 22 are provided correspondingly, and the first connecting hole 11 and the second connecting hole 22 are connected by a locking member. The cabinet 1 and the ventilation hood 2 are tightly connected together by the locking member (such as bolts, screws, etc.), which can significantly improve the stability of the entire structure and ensure that the ventilation hood 2 will not loosen or fall off due to vibration, wind pressure or other external factors during use, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the ice maker.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the cabinet body 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 12, and the vent hood 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning slots 23. Each positioning protrusion 12 is provided in a corresponding manner with each positioning slot 23, so that the vent hood 2 can be quickly and accurately positioned in the correct position on the cabinet body 1 during installation. In this embodiment, the bottom of the cabinet body 1 is provided with three first connection holes 11, and the bottom of the vent hood 2 is provided with three second connection holes 22. The three first connection holes 11 and the three second connection holes 22 are provided in a corresponding manner, and cooperate with the positioning protrusions 12 and the positioning slots 23 to reduce the steps of disassembly and installation. There is no need to set up too many locking parts for locking. The user only needs to gently place the vent hood 2 on the cabinet body 1, and the positioning protrusions 12 will automatically slide into the positioning slots 23 to achieve preliminary positioning. Subsequently, by tightening the three locking parts to fix the first connection holes 11 and the second connection holes 22, the entire installation process can be completed, greatly reducing the installation steps and debugging time.
[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: a top plate 5 is provided on the cabinet body 1, and the top plate 5 is detachably connected to the cabinet body 1, so that the user can easily remove the top plate 5, thereby conveniently cleaning and maintaining the interior of the cabinet body 1, a locking groove 13 is provided on the top of the cabinet body 1, and a locking plate 51 is provided on the top plate 5, and a third connecting hole 131 is provided on the end of the locking groove 13 near the ventilation hood 2, and a fourth connecting hole 511 is provided on the locking plate 51, and the third connecting hole 131 is corresponding to the fourth connecting hole 511. The third connecting hole 131 and the fourth connecting hole 511 are connected by a locking member, providing a stable support for the top plate 5, ensuring that the top plate 5 will not loosen or fall off due to uneven force or vibration during use, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire structure. Since the top plate 5 is detachable, it can be replaced or adjusted according to different usage requirements. For example, when it is necessary to add an insulation layer or change the ventilation method, the top plate 5 with a different structure and material can be replaced.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: a connecting plate 52 is provided at one end of the top plate 5 away from the fourth connecting hole 511, and the connecting plate 52 is detachably connected to the cabinet body 1, providing additional support for the top plate 5, making the top plate 5 more stable and not easy to loosen or deform due to uneven force or vibration. In this embodiment, the detachable connection is achieved by bolts.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: a door frame 6 and a sliding door structure 7 are provided on the cabinet body 1, the sliding door structure 7 is connected to the door frame 6, the door frame 6 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body 1, and the sliding door structure 7 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body 1, so as to facilitate thorough cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the cabinet body 1. In addition, in other embodiments, in some cases, the user may need to change the material, color, or style of the door frame 6 or the sliding door structure 7 according to actual needs. The detachable connection makes replacement easier without the need to disassemble or reassemble the entire cabinet body 1.
