[0039] like Figure 1-5 The present invention relates to a fully automatic ice maker's ice storage bucket 200 disinfection device, comprising a disinfectant generating device adapted to generate disinfectant and a disinfectant nozzle 100 adapted to introduce the disinfectant into the ice storage bucket 200. The disinfectant nozzle 100 comprises an inner spray tube 110, a telescopic bracket 120, and a fixed bracket 130. The ice storage bucket 200 comprises a lid 210 disposed on its top, and the fixed bracket 130 is fixedly mounted to the lid 210. The telescopic bracket 120 is equipped with a first motor 140, and the fixed bracket 130 is equipped with a second motor 150. The second motor 150 is adapted to drive the telescopic bracket 120 to drive the inner spray tube 110 to extend into the ice storage bucket 200. The first motor 140 drives the inner spray tube 110 to rotate 360 ​​degrees to spray the disinfectant.

[0040] In this embodiment, the spray inner tube 110 includes a water channel 111 arranged along its axial direction, a mounting end 112 and a spraying end 113 arranged at both ends of its axial direction, and the spraying end 113 includes a plurality of liquid spraying ports 114 suitable for connecting to the water channel 111, and the liquid spraying ports 114 are arranged along the radial direction of the spray inner tube 110. The telescopic bracket 120 includes a cylindrical body 121, a guide bar 122 integrally formed on the cylindrical body 121, a first transmission space 123 arranged at one axial end of the cylindrical body 121, and a mounting plate 124 suitable for covering the first transmission space 123. The guide bar 122 is arranged along the length direction of the cylindrical body 121, and the first motor 140 is assembled on the mounting plate 124. The first transmission space 123 is suitable for accommodating a first driving gear 141 and a first driven gear 142 that are meshed with each other. The first driving gear 141 is directly connected to the first motor 140, and the first driven gear 142 is fixedly assembled on the mounting end 112. The spraying end 113 extends out of the cylindrical body 121, and the spray inner tube 110 is suitable for rotating around its axis under the drive of the first motor 140 so that the disinfectant is sprayed out from the spray port 114.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fixed bracket 130 includes a guide plate 131 arranged parallel to the guide bar 122 and two wings 132 adapted to support the guide plate 131. The guide plate 131 includes an escape area 135. A second transmission space is formed between the wings 132. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 133 are disposed between the wings 132, and the ribs 133 are arranged perpendicular to the guide plate 131.

The second drive gear 151 comprises a second drive gear 151, a primary driven gear 152, and a secondary driven gear 153, which mesh in sequence. The second drive gear 151 is directly connected or drivenly coupled to the second motor 150. The secondary driven gear 153 meshes with the rack structure 154 in the clearance area 135. The telescopic bracket 120 is adapted to be driven by the second motor 150 to extend the spray end 113 into the ice storage bin 200. More specifically, the wheel diameters of the second drive gear 151, the primary driven gear 152, and the secondary driven gear 153 decrease in sequence, increasing torque while achieving a more compact structure to accommodate tilted positioning of the telescopic bracket 120.

[0042] In this embodiment, the length of the rack structure 154 is adapted to define the telescopic distance of the spray inner tube 110. Inwardly flared edges 125 extend outwardly from both sides of the guide bar 122. The side edges of the guide plate 131 are adapted to extend into these flared edges 125. These flared edges 125 limit the width of the guide plate 131, allowing for reciprocal movement relative to the side edges. Positioning portions 136 are also provided at both axial ends of the guide plate 131, adapted to abut against the flared edges 125 to define the telescopic distance of the spray inner tube 110.

[0043] In this embodiment, the disinfection nozzle 100 is made of stainless steel, meeting the requirements of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. Furthermore, the lower end of the wing plate 132 is fixedly connected or integrally formed with a support leg 137 adapted to fit the lid 210. The support leg is assembled to the lid 210 via bolts. The lid 210 includes a telescopic opening 211 and a cover 211 adapted to partially cover the telescopic opening 211. The cover 211 is adapted to prevent splashing of disinfectant and prevent dust and impurities from entering the ice storage bin 200.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first motor 140 and the second motor 150 are both stepper motors. The rotation speed and stop position of the stepper motors depend on the frequency and number of pulse signals. The precise positioning and motion control of the spray inner tube 110 and the telescopic bracket 120 are achieved by precisely controlling the pulses. At the same time, they can start, stop and reverse quickly, respond quickly, and provide a large torque at low speeds, which is suitable for stably driving the spray inner tube 110 and the telescopic bracket 120.

[0045] In this embodiment, a guide sleeve 138 is provided at one end of the fixed bracket 130, near the lid 210. This guide sleeve 138 is adapted to extend into the ice storage bin 200, and the cylindrical body 121 slides reciprocatingly within the guide sleeve 138. This fully automatic ice maker's ice storage bin 200 disinfection device includes both an operating state and a non-operating state. In the operating state, the telescopic bracket 120 adjustably drives the spray inner tube 110 to extend into the ice storage bin 200. In the non-operating state, the spray end 113 moves closer to the lid 210 and remains inserted into the ice storage bin 200. More specifically, the spray end 113 retracts into the guide sleeve 138.

[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
