Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of refrigeration, and in particular relates to an integrated device for making ice cubes and ice water. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator, which is then cooled by the refrigerant in the refrigeration system. Using a refrigeration system, water is passed through a device under power to produce ice. The shape of the ice produced varies depending on the evaporator's principle and production method. Ice makers are generally categorized by ice shape, including cube ice, flake ice, plate ice, tube ice, and shell ice.

[0003] Existing refrigeration equipment only has a single chilled water system or ice-making system, which cannot meet the higher requirements of making cold drinks with both chilled water and ice cubes. To address this technical problem, China Patent published a utility model patent on September 16, 2019, entitled "A Dual-Mode Ice and Water Making System" (Grant Announcement No.: CN 211177546U). This system can provide both chilled water and ice cubes while taking up less space.

[0004] If the ice cubes prepared by the ice-making device can be discharged quickly, there is no need to open the cover of the ice-making device to take out the ice. Therefore, how to quickly discharge the ice cubes without opening the cover of the ice-making device is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art and provide an integrated device for making ice cubes and ice water, which can quickly discharge the prepared ice cubes and meet the needs of providing both ice water and ice cubes.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model relates to an integrated device for making ice cubes and ice water, comprising a base, a compressor, a water cooling system, an ice making device and an ice bucket, wherein the compressor, the water cooling system, the ice making device and the ice bucket are all fixed on the base.

[0008] After being compressed by a compressor, the working fluid enters the water cooling system through a pipeline. The working fluid in the water cooling system then flows through the pipeline to the ice-making device, which then produces ice. The working fluid in the water cooling system then flows through the pipeline into an ice bucket, which produces ice water. This utility model satisfies the needs of both providing ice water and ice cubes, and occupies a relatively small space. It is characterized by an ice outlet in the ice-making device, through which ice cubes produced by the ice-making device are discharged downward, enabling rapid discharge of the produced ice cubes.

[0009] Furthermore, the ice outlet includes ice outlet section 1, ice outlet section 2, and ice outlet section 3. Ice outlet section 2 is connected between ice outlet sections 1 and 3. Ice outlet section 1 is connected to the ice-making device, and the prepared ice enters ice outlet section 1. Ice outlet section 2 is tilted downward, so that the height of the connection between ice outlet section 2 and ice outlet section 1 is greater than the height of the connection between ice outlet section 2 and ice outlet section 3. This guides the ice, allowing it to be discharged at a certain speed through the ice outlet, ensuring rapid discharge while preventing ice from clogging the ice outlet. Ice outlet section 3 is vertically arranged, allowing ice to be discharged downward, making it easier to collect.

[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the ice-discharging section 2 gradually decreases from the ice-discharging section 1 to the ice-discharging section 3, so that the inner cavity of the ice-discharging section 1 is large enough to discharge more ice cubes.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting portion 1 is provided on the outside of the ice outlet section 1, and the connecting portion 1 is fixed to the ice-making device by screws, so that the entire ice outlet can be detachably connected to the ice-making device, making it convenient to disassemble and clean the ice outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, the ice outlet section 1, the ice outlet section 2 and the ice outlet section 3 are an integrally formed structure, so that the ice outlet has good strength.

[0013] Furthermore, ice outlet section 1 is provided with a first connection end and a second connection end at each end. The diameter of connection end 1 is larger than that of connection end 2. A transition section is provided between connection ends 1 and 2. The transition section is used to connect connection ends of different diameters, making connection end 1 larger in diameter and increasing the amount of ice cubes discharged by the ice-making device. The transition section is arc-shaped, making the connection between connection ends 1 and 2 smoother and preventing stress concentration that could damage the ice outlet structure.

[0014] Furthermore, a connecting portion 2 is provided on the outer side of the ice-discharging section 3, and the connecting portion 2 is used to connect an ice-collecting device to facilitate the collection of discharged ice cubes.

[0015] Furthermore, the water cooling system is fixed to the base via a first fixing frame, and the ice bucket is fixed to the base via a second fixing frame, and the height of the second fixing frame is greater than that of the first fixing frame.

[0016] Furthermore, the ice-making device is fixed to the base via a fixing frame 3, so that the compressor is arranged below the ice-making device.

[0017] Furthermore, the ice-making device is provided with an ear plate, which is fixedly connected to the fixing frame three by screws, so that the ice-making device can be detachably connected to the fixing frame three, which facilitates the rapid installation or removal of the ice-making device.

[0018] The utility model has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0019] During operation, the present invention compresses the working fluid through the compressor and then enters the water cooling system through a pipeline. The working fluid in the water cooling system then flows through the pipeline to the ice making device, which then makes ice. The working fluid is then compressed by the compressor and then flows through the pipeline into the ice bucket, which then makes ice water. This provides both ice water and ice cubes, and the present invention occupies a relatively small space.

[0020] The ice cubes produced by the ice making device are discharged downward from the ice outlet, and the prepared ice cubes can be discharged quickly without opening the cover of the ice making device to take out the ice. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention shows an integrated ice and ice water production device, comprising a base 1, a compressor 2, a water cooling system 5, an ice making device 3, and an ice bucket 4. The compressor 2, water cooling system 5, ice making device 3, and ice bucket 4 are all fixed to the base 1. The water cooling system 5 is fixed to the base 1 via a fixing frame 11, and the ice bucket 4 is fixed to the base 1 via a fixing frame 2 12. The height of fixing frame 2 12 is greater than that of fixing frame 11. The base 1 is fixed with a fixing frame 3 13, and the ice making device 3 is provided with a lug 14. The lug 14 is fixedly connected to fixing frame 3 13 via screws, allowing the ice making device 3 to be detachably connected to fixing frame 3 13, facilitating quick installation or removal of the ice making device 3. The compressor 2 is located below the ice making device 3. The present invention has a more compact structure and occupies less space.

[0027] The present invention prepares ice cubes and ice water in a manner as follows: When making ice, compressor 2 is activated. The working fluid, compressed by compressor 2, enters a water cooling system 5 through a pipeline for refrigeration. The working fluid in the water cooling system 5 then flows through the pipeline to an ice making device 3, which then makes ice. When making ice water, the working fluid in the water cooling system 5 enters an ice bucket 4 through a pipeline, which then makes ice water. This method satisfies both the requirements of providing ice water and ice cubes, and occupies a relatively small space. The preparation of ice cubes and ice water is prior art, specifically referring to the utility model patent entitled "A Dual-Mode Ice and Ice Water Making System" (Granted Publication No.: CN 211177546 U).

[0028] The utility model installs an ice outlet 6 at the opening of the ice-making device 3. The ice outlet 6 includes an ice outlet section 1 7, an ice outlet section 2 8 and an ice outlet section 3 9. The ice outlet section 2 8 is connected between the ice outlet section 1 7 and the ice outlet section 3 9. The ice outlet section 1 7, the ice outlet section 2 8 and the ice outlet section 3 9 are an integrally formed structure, which makes the ice outlet 6 have good strength.

[0029] The outer side of ice-discharging section 1 (7) is provided with a connecting portion 10, which is screwed to the ice-making device 3. This allows the entire ice outlet 6 to be detachably connected to the ice-making device 3, making it easy to remove and clean the ice outlet 6. Ice-discharging section 1 (7) is connected to the ice-making device 3, and the prepared ice cubes enter ice-discharging section 1 (7). Ice-discharging section 1 (7) is provided with a connecting end 15 and a connecting end 2 (16) at each end. The diameter of connecting end 15 is larger than that of connecting end 2 (16). A transition section 17 is provided between connecting ends 15 and 16. This transition section 17 is used to connect connecting ends of different diameters, allowing the diameter of connecting end 15 to be larger, thereby increasing the amount of ice cubes discharged by the ice-making device 3. The arc-shaped transition section 17 creates a smoother connection between connecting ends 15 and 16, preventing stress concentration that could damage the ice outlet 6 structure.

[0030] The diameter of ice outlet section 2 8 gradually decreases from ice outlet section 1 7 toward ice outlet section 3 9, making the inner cavity of ice outlet section 1 7 sufficiently large to discharge a large amount of ice. Ice outlet section 2 8 is tilted downward, so that the height of the connection between ice outlet section 2 8 and ice outlet section 1 7 is greater than the height of the connection between ice outlet section 2 8 and ice outlet section 3 9. This guides the ice, allowing it to be discharged from ice outlet 6 at a certain speed. This ensures that ice is discharged quickly while preventing ice from blocking ice outlet 6.

[0031] The ice discharging section 3 9 is vertically arranged so that the ice cubes are discharged downward quickly, making it easy to collect the ice cubes. The outer side of the ice discharging section 3 9 is provided with a second connecting portion 18, which is used to connect an ice collecting device to facilitate the collection of discharged ice cubes.

[0032] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications based on the present invention that solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
