Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purifier equipment, in particular to a water purifier capable of preventing ice blocks from sticking. Background Art

[0002] Water purifiers with ice-making functions are widely popular in the field of household and commercial water purification. However, existing water purifiers with ice-making functions often face a common problem: the ice cubes produced tend to stick to each other or to the walls of the ice storage bin. This not only makes it difficult for users to remove the ice cubes, but can also cause damage when separating the ice cubes, affecting the user experience.

[0003] Traditional solutions often rely on physical methods, such as using ice separators or periodically turning the ice cubes to prevent sticking. However, these methods often require additional user intervention, increasing complexity, and are not always effective. Another approach is to improve the surface smoothness of the ice storage bin material to reduce sticking, but this approach has limited effectiveness in resolving the problem of sticking ice cubes that have already accumulated.

[0004] It can be seen that the existing technology still needs to be improved and enhanced. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a water purifier that prevents ice from sticking, so as to solve the problem that ice easily sticks in the water purifier in the prior art.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a water purifier that prevents ice blocks from sticking, comprising a main body, an ice storage bin and a spraying device, wherein the ice storage bin is installed in the main body, and the spraying device comprises a plurality of hot water nozzles arranged in a matrix, wherein the plurality of hot water nozzles are located above the ice storage bin and are respectively arranged facing the ice storage bin.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the ice storage bin is tilted.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the above embodiment are: the inclined bottom setting of the ice storage bin is conducive to the sliding of ice cubes due to gravity, promoting the separation of ice cubes and further preventing adhesion. In addition, the inclined bottom also facilitates the rapid flow of cold water or melted water, avoiding the water from re-contacting the ice cubes and freezing.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, a water outlet is further included, and the water outlet is located at the bottom of the ice storage bin.

[0010] The beneficial effect of the above embodiment is that the water outlet can timely discharge the accumulated water in the ice storage bin or the melted ice water sprayed by the hot water nozzle, keep the interior of the ice storage bin dry, reduce the long-term contact between ice and water, and reduce the possibility of ice sticking.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, a drainage groove is further included, and the drainage groove is obliquely arranged at the bottom of the ice storage bin.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the above embodiment is that the drainage groove is inclined at the bottom of the ice storage bin and is used in combination with the water outlet hole to more efficiently guide the melted ice water to flow quickly to the water outlet hole and be discharged, thereby avoiding the accumulation of water in the ice storage bin, reducing the contact between ice cubes and water, and thus reducing adhesion.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet is opened on the drainage groove.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the above embodiment is that the water outlet is opened on the drainage groove, so that the melted water generated by the hot water nozzle can flow smoothly into the drainage groove and be discharged through the water outlet, ensuring that the moisture in the ice storage bin can be removed in time, reducing the contact time between ice cubes and melted water, and effectively preventing ice cubes from sticking.

[0015] As described above, the water purifier of the present invention that prevents ice cubes from sticking together has the following beneficial effects: an ice storage bin is installed in the main body, and is equipped with hot water nozzles arranged in a matrix above the ice storage bin. The hot water nozzles are arranged directly opposite the ice storage bin and can spray hot water regularly or as needed to partially melt the surface of the ice cubes and form a water film, thereby reducing the direct contact area between the ice cubes and the friction between the ice cubes and the inner wall of the ice storage bin, thereby effectively reducing the occurrence of adhesion.

[0025] The present invention provides a water purifier that prevents ice from sticking. 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides an ice-block-blocking water purifier, which primarily comprises a main unit, an ice storage bin, and a spraying device. The ice storage bin is mounted within the main unit, while the spraying device comprises multiple hot water nozzles arranged in a matrix. These nozzles are located above and facing the ice storage bin, spraying hot water directly onto the ice inside.

[0028] To further prevent ice from sticking, the bottom of the ice storage bin is designed to be sloped, leveraging gravity to promote ice sliding and help separate stuck ice. The sloped bottom also allows cold water or melted water to drain quickly, preventing it from re-engaging with ice and freezing. To this end, the water purifier is also equipped with a water outlet located at the bottom of the ice storage bin. This outlet allows for the timely removal of accumulated water or melted ice from the hot water showerhead, keeping the interior of the bin dry and minimizing prolonged contact between ice and water, thus reducing the likelihood of ice sticking.

[0029] To improve drainage efficiency, a drainage trough is also tilted and installed at the bottom of the ice storage bin. This trough is used in conjunction with the water outlet. It efficiently guides melted ice water toward the outlet for quick discharge, preventing water accumulation in the ice storage bin and reducing contact between ice and water, thereby reducing ice sticking.

[0030] Finally, the water outlet is located on the drainage trough, ensuring that the meltwater produced by the hot water nozzle flows smoothly into the drainage trough and is discharged through the outlet. This mechanism ensures that the water in the ice storage bin can be drained away in a timely manner, effectively reducing the contact time between ice and meltwater and preventing ice from sticking.

[0031] In summary, the ice-blocking-preventing water purifier of the present invention has an ice storage bin installed within the main body and is equipped with hot water nozzles arranged in a matrix above the bin. The hot water nozzles are positioned directly opposite the bin and can spray hot water periodically or as needed to partially melt the surface of the ice, forming a water film. This reduces the direct contact area between ice blocks and the friction between the ice blocks and the inner wall of the bin, thereby effectively reducing the occurrence of ice blockage. Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0032] 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.
