Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purifier equipment, in particular to an ice discharging device for a water purifier. Background Art

[0002] In the existing field of water purification technology, water purifiers usually have the functions of providing cold water and making ice to meet the different needs of users. Traditional water purifier ice-dispensing devices often use simple mechanical or electric switches to control the output of ice cubes, but these structures have problems such as inconvenient operation, easy damage and high maintenance costs. For example, some mechanical ice-dispensing devices require users to manually flip the baffle to release the ice cubes, which not only increases the labor intensity during use, but also may cause hygiene problems due to frequent contact. In addition, although electric ice-dispensing devices are more convenient to operate, they increase the complexity of circuits and moving parts, thereby increasing the failure rate and maintenance costs. In addition, these ice-dispensing devices usually do not have good sealing performance, which can easily lead to contamination of ice cubes, or condensation caused by temperature differences affecting the normal operation of the machine.

[0003] It can be seen that the existing technology still needs to be improved and enhanced. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an ice dispensing device for a water purifier, so as to solve the problems of the prior art ice dispensing device having a complex structure and inconvenient operation.

The bottom of the left baffle and the right baffle are both provided with the accommodating bin, and the magnetic attraction component is placed in the accommodating bin.

[0006] In one embodiment of the present invention, the left baffle and the right baffle are both arranged to be inclined downward.

[0007] The beneficial effect of the above embodiment is that the left baffle and the right baffle are tilted downward, which helps to guide the ice cubes to be discharged smoothly under the action of gravity, and also reduces the accumulation of ice cubes at the ice outlet, thereby improving the ice discharge efficiency.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating compartment is disposed close to the frame body.

[0009] The beneficial effect of the above embodiment is that the accommodating compartment is arranged close to the frame body, which optimizes the use of the internal space, makes the placement of the magnetic element more stable, and enhances the stability and durability of the entire device.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes matching protrusions and blind holes. The protrusions are provided on the outer side wall of the accommodating compartment, and the blind holes are provided on the inner side wall of the frame body.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above embodiment are that the protrusions and the blind holes provide a quick positioning and installation method, making the installation of the accommodating bin more precise and firm, and enhancing the structural integrity of the entire ice dispensing device.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes fastening ribs, which are arranged in the accommodating compartment.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple fastening ribs, and the multiple fastening ribs are arranged in parallel.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the above embodiment is that the multiple parallel arranged fastening ribs further improve the stability of the structure and ensure that the magnetic attraction component is securely fixed in the accommodating compartment.

[0015] As described above, the ice discharging device for a water purifier of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: when taking ice, the left baffle or the right baffle rotates around its hinge axis, thereby opening the ice outlet; a magnetic attraction component is placed in the accommodating compartment, and magnetic attraction is used to provide additional sealing force for closing the left baffle and the right baffle; since the free ends of the left baffle and the right baffle are close to each other, they can fit tightly together when closed, preventing ice cubes from falling off or external contaminants from entering when not taken, ensuring that the ice outlet is well sealed and keeping the ice cubes at a low temperature and clean.

[0027] The present invention provides an ice discharging device for a water purifier. To make the purpose, technical solution and effect of the present invention clearer and more specific, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper, lower, left, and right" and the like indicating directions or positions are based on the directions or positions shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate and simplify the description of this utility model and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "installation" and "connection" are to be understood broadly, and those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an ice dispensing device for a water purifier. The ice dispensing device is installed at the ice outlet of the water purifier and mainly consists of a frame body 1, a left baffle 2, a right baffle 3, a storage compartment 4, and a magnetic element. The left baffle 2 and the right baffle 3 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the inner wall of the frame body 1 by hinges. The free ends of the left baffle 2 and the right baffle 3 are close to each other, forming an openable and closable structure. The bottom of the left baffle 2 and the right baffle 3 are both provided with a storage compartment 4, and a magnetic element is placed in the compartment. Specifically, the magnetic element is a magnet.

[0030] See also Figure 2 The left and right baffles 2 and 3 are tilted downward to help guide the ice cubes out smoothly. The storage compartment 4 is located close to the frame body 1 to enhance the overall compactness of the structure. To achieve the hinged connection between the left and right baffles 2 and 3 and the frame body 1, protrusions 5 are provided on the outer walls of the storage compartment 4, while corresponding blind holes are provided on the inner walls of the frame body 1. The hinged connection is achieved through the cooperation of the protrusions 5 and the blind holes.

[0031] In addition, to enhance the stability of the structure, fastening ribs 6 are arranged in the accommodating compartment 4. Specifically, there are multiple fastening ribs 6, and they are arranged in parallel. In this embodiment, there are two fastening ribs 6, which ensures the stability of the structure while avoiding excessive complexity.

[0032] In summary, the ice-dispensing device for a water purifier of the present invention rotates the left baffle 2 or the right baffle 3 about its hinge axis when ice is removed, thereby opening the ice outlet. A magnetic element is placed within the storage compartment 4, utilizing magnetic attraction to provide additional sealing force for closing the left and right baffles 2 and 3. Because the free ends of the left and right baffles 2 and 3 are close to each other, they fit tightly together when closed, preventing ice from falling out or external contaminants from entering when not in use. This ensures a well-sealed ice outlet and keeps the ice cool and clean. Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and possesses high industrial value.

[0033] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and the utility model concept of the present invention, and all these changes or substitutions should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
