Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to an ice making module with a diversion function. Background Art

[0002] The evaporator of an existing water-cooled ice maker typically consists of a metal box welded with multiple metal sheets to form square ice trays, with a water spray pipe installed on top. For example, utility model patent No. CN221076861U discloses an ice-making device for a small ice maker. During ice making, water is sprayed through the water spray pipe, flowing from the top ice tray to the next ice tray in sequence. The refrigeration system starts, and refrigerant flows through the evaporator pipe, lowering the evaporator temperature and gradually freezing the water flowing through the ice trays until the entire ice tray is filled with ice cubes. In this prior art, at the beginning of ice making, the water only covers the lower surface of the ice tray and has difficulty flowing to the upper back portion of the ice tray. Only after ice forms on the lower half of the ice tray does the water gradually reach the upper back portion of the ice tray until the entire ice tray is filled with ice cubes, resulting in low ice-making efficiency. In some cases, the water may not even reach the upper back portion of the ice tray until ice cubes are completely formed, resulting in incomplete ice cubes and poor ice-making results.

[0003] Therefore, there is still room for improvement and development in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the utility model provides an ice-making module with a diversion function, which has better ice-making effect and efficiency.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution applied by the present utility model is as follows:

[0006] An ice-making module with a diversion function includes an evaporator assembly, on which an evaporation tube and a plurality of ice-making grids are provided; a guide plate, which is fixed to the evaporator assembly and is provided with a plurality of through holes and a plurality of guide blocks, wherein the through holes are arranged corresponding to the ice-making grids, and the guide blocks are arranged corresponding to the through holes; and a water spraying pipe, which is fixed above the guide plate and is provided with a plurality of water spraying holes, wherein the water spraying holes are arranged corresponding to the guide plate. With this arrangement, when making ice, water is connected to the water spray pipe from the outside and sprayed out from the water spray hole. The water flows downward along the surface of the guide plate. Under the action of the guide block, the water will gather at the top of the through hole. Under the tension of the water, it flows into the ice making grid and fills the entire surface of the ice making grid. At this time, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator tube, the temperature of the evaporator component decreases, and the cold energy is transferred to the ice making grid, so that part of the water flowing into the ice making grid freezes, and the unfrozen water flows out of the ice making grid, passes through the next guide block, and flows into the next ice making grid, until the water flows through the bottom ice making grid, and the ice making effect and efficiency are better.

[0007] According to the above solution, the upper end of the guide plate is spaced apart by multiple partitions, with drainage grooves formed between adjacent partitions. One end of the drainage groove corresponds to the water spray hole, and the other end of the drainage groove corresponds to the guide block. This arrangement prevents water from converging when it is sprayed from the water spray hole due to the action of the partitions, and the water flows downward along the surface of the drainage groove.

[0008] According to the above solution, a plurality of guide blocks are spaced apart and protruded on the guide plate, and the guide blocks are located above the through hole. In this way, after water contacts the guide plate, it will flow downward along the side walls of the guide blocks and gather at the top of the through hole.

[0009] According to the above solution, a guide groove is formed between two adjacent guide blocks, and the guide groove is arranged corresponding to the through hole. In this way, after the water contacts the guide plate, it will flow down along the guide groove and gather at the top of the through hole.

[0010] According to the above solution, the through hole has the same shape as the inner hole of the ice tray, and the through hole is closely attached to the inner opening of the ice tray and communicates with the inner hole of the ice tray. In this arrangement, water flows through the inner wall of the through hole to the inner hole of the ice tray under the tension of water, and fills the entire inner hole of the ice tray.

[0011] According to the above solution, a plurality of drainage holes are provided at intervals at the lower end of the guide plate. In this way, the water that has not yet frozen after flowing through the bottom ice making grid will flow out from the drainage holes.

[0012] According to the above scheme, a plurality of partitions are arranged between the upper and lower ends of the guide plate, and a drainage groove is formed between two adjacent partitions. One end of the drainage groove is arranged corresponding to the water spray hole, and the other end of the drainage groove is arranged corresponding to the guide block.

[0013] According to the above solution, the partition is vertically arranged between two laterally adjacent through holes, and separates the two laterally adjacent through holes.

[0014] According to the above solution, the upper end and the lower end of the guide block are respectively provided with arc surfaces that match the two vertically adjacent through holes.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0016] The utility model is arranged in such a way that when making ice, water is connected to the water spray pipe from the outside and sprayed out from the water spray hole, and the water flows downward along the surface of the guide plate. Under the action of the guide block, the water will gather at the top of the through hole, and flow into the inside of the ice-making grid under the tension of the water and fill the entire surface of the ice-making grid. At this time, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator tube, the temperature of the evaporator component is reduced, and the cold energy is transferred to the ice-making grid, so that part of the water flowing into the ice-making grid is frozen, and the unfrozen water flows out of the ice-making grid, passes through the next guide block and flows into the next ice-making grid, until the water flows through the ice-making grid at the bottom, and the ice-making effect and efficiency are better.

[0024] The technical solution of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ice-making module with a diversion function described in the present invention includes: an evaporator assembly 1, on which an evaporation tube 12 and a plurality of ice-making grids 11 are provided; a guide plate 2, which is fixed to the evaporator assembly 1, and is provided with a plurality of through holes 21 and a plurality of guide blocks 22, the through holes 21 are arranged corresponding to the ice-making grids 11, and the guide blocks 22 are arranged corresponding to the through holes 21; a water spraying pipe 3, which is fixed above the guide plate 2, and is provided with a plurality of water spraying holes 31, and the water spraying holes 31 are arranged corresponding to the guide plate 2. With this arrangement, when making ice, water is connected to the water spray pipe 3 from the outside and sprayed out from the water spray hole 31. The water flows downward along the surface of the guide plate 2. Under the action of the guide block 22, the water will gather at the top of the through hole 21. Under the tension of the water, it flows into the ice making grid 11 and fills the entire surface of the ice making grid 11. At this time, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator tube 12, the temperature of the evaporator assembly 1 is reduced, and the cold energy is transferred to the ice making grid 11, so that part of the water flowing into the ice making grid 11 is frozen, and the water that has not frozen flows out of the ice making grid 11, passes through the next guide block 22, and flows into the next ice making grid 11, until the water flows through the bottom ice making grid 11.

[0027] Furthermore, the guide plate 2 is provided with a plurality of partitions 23 at intervals on its upper end. A drainage groove 231 is formed between two adjacent partitions 23. One end of the drainage groove 231 corresponds to the water spray hole 31, and the other end of the drainage groove 231 corresponds to the guide block 22. With this arrangement, when water is sprayed from the water spray hole 31, the partitions 23 prevent the sprayed water from converging and allow the water to flow downward along the surface of the drainage groove 231.

[0028] Furthermore, a plurality of guide blocks 22 are convexly arranged on the guide plate 2 at intervals, and the guide blocks 22 are located above the through holes 21. In this way, after the water contacts the guide plate 2, it will flow downward along the side walls of the guide blocks 22 and will gather at the top of the through holes 21.

[0029] Furthermore, a guide groove 221 is formed between two adjacent guide blocks 22, and the guide groove 221 is arranged corresponding to the through hole 21. In this way, after the water contacts the guide plate 2, it will flow downward along the guide groove 221 and will gather at the top of the through hole 21.

[0030] Specifically, the through hole 21 has the same shape as the inner hole of the ice tray 11. The through hole 21 is closely attached to the inner opening of the ice tray 11 and is connected to the inner hole of the ice tray 11. In this arrangement, water flows through the inner wall of the through hole 21 under the tension of the water toward the inner hole of the ice tray 11 and fills the entire inner hole of the ice tray 11.

[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of drainage holes 24 are provided at intervals at the lower end of the guide plate 2. In this manner, the water that has not yet frozen after flowing through the ice making grid 11 at the bottom will flow out from the drainage holes 24.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of partitions 23 are provided between the upper and lower ends of the guide plate 2, and a drainage groove 231 is formed between two adjacent partitions 23. One end of the drainage groove 231 is provided corresponding to the water spray hole 31, and the other end of the drainage groove 231 is provided corresponding to the guide block 22.

[0034] Furthermore, the partition plate 23 is vertically disposed between two laterally adjacent through holes 21 , and separates the two laterally adjacent through holes 21 .

[0035] Furthermore, the upper end and the lower end of the guide block 22 are respectively provided with arc surfaces 222 that cooperate with two vertically adjacent through holes 21.

[0036] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the structures of the guide block 22 and the partition plate 23 are slightly different. The remaining structures and principles are the same as those of the first embodiment and will not be repeated.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the purpose of the present invention and the claims, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
