[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides a commercial ice maker capable of automatically dispensing ice, comprising
[0024] The ice maker body 1 has a box body 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the ice maker body 1 near the top, and an ice outlet 3 penetrating the ice maker body 1 is provided on the inner wall of the box body 2;
[0025] A feed hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 2 near the middle, a connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed hopper 4, and an ice taking mechanism is provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe 5;
[0026] A discharge pipe 7 connected to the ice taking mechanism is provided on one side of the bottom of the box body 2, and a quantitative ice discharging mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 7;
[0027] The ice cubes produced by the ice maker body 1 are fed into the feed hopper 4 in the box body 2 through the ice outlet 3, and then fed to the ice taking mechanism through the connecting pipe 5, and then quantitatively discharged by the quantitative ice discharging mechanism on the discharge pipe 7, thereby avoiding waste of ice cubes and improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0028] Furthermore, the ice taking mechanism includes a fixed pipe 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 5 and arranged obliquely.

The partition plate 8 is provided with a drive motor 9 for driving the auger 10. By starting the drive motor 9, the auger 10 in the fixed pipe 6 is driven to rotate, so that the rotating auger 10 delivers the ice cubes to the discharge pipe 7, and then the ice is quantitatively discharged through the discharge pipe 7.
[0029] Furthermore, the quantitative ice discharging mechanism includes a fixed motor 11 fixedly connected to the outer contour of the discharge pipe 7, a connecting rod 12 is provided on one end of the fixed motor 11 near the discharge pipe 7, a fixed plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the discharge pipe 7 near the connecting rod 12, a box body 14 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 12, the bottom of the fixed plate 13 is fixedly connected to the box body 14, a movable rod 15 penetrating the box body 14 is provided on the fixed plate 13, a through hole 16 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 13, an arc plate 17 and an arc plate 2 18 are fixedly connected on both sides of the through hole 16, a through hole 2 19 is provided on the surface of the arc plate 2 18, when the ice cubes fall into the discharge pipe 7 Afterwards, because the arc plate 17 on the movable rod 15 seals the through hole 16 opened on the fixed plate 13, by starting the fixed motor 11 to work, the connecting rod 12 on the fixed motor 11 drives the movable rod 15 connected to the box body 14 to rotate, so that the movable rod 15 rotates 180 degrees. At this time, the arc plate 17 no longer seals the through hole 16, and the movable rod 15 drives the arc plate 2 18 to move to the through hole 16, so that the through hole 2 19 and the through hole 16 penetrate each other, and then the ice cube falls from the through hole 2 19 and the through hole 16.

When ice is needed, the driving motor 9 is started to drive the auger 10 in the fixed pipe 6 to rotate, so that the rotating auger 10 feeds the ice cubes into the discharge pipe 7. When the ice cubes fall into the discharge pipe 7, the arc plate 17 on the movable rod 15 seals the through hole 16 on the fixed plate 13, and the fixed motor 11 is started to work, and the fixed motor 11 is used to rotate. The connecting rod 12 drives the movable rod 15 connected to the box body 14 to rotate, so that the movable rod 15 rotates 180 degrees. At this time, the arc plate 17 no longer seals the through hole 16, and the movable rod 15 drives the arc plate 2 18 to move to the through hole 16, so that the through hole 2 19 and the through hole 16 penetrate each other. Then, the ice cubes fall from the through hole 2 19 and the through hole 16. After falling, the movable rod 15 drives the arc plate 17 and the arc plate 2 18 to rotate again, completing the sealing of the through hole 16.
