Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to an anti-adhesion ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, ice cubes are used more and more widely in daily life. They are not only in great demand in the fields of cold drinks and food preservation, but also play an important role in the medical, chemical and other industries.

[0003] Traditional ice makers, as one of the earliest ice-making devices, have a relatively simple operating principle. They primarily freeze a certain amount of water supplied to an ice tray by applying cold air or evaporating a refrigerant. The ice tray is typically placed at a freezing point below 0°C, using a cold core or evaporator plate to gradually freeze the water into ice. However, this ice-making method has significant drawbacks. Specifically, the water on the ice tray begins to freeze near the cold core or evaporator plate, then gradually increases in thickness toward the outside. This freezing method causes the ice cubes to easily stick together due to the action of the outer layer of ice-making water, making subsequent defrosting difficult. Furthermore, traditional ice makers often require knocking or prying the ice cubes during the defrosting process, which not only increases the difficulty of operation but also may damage the ice tray or the ice cubes themselves, further reducing ice-making efficiency and quality.

[0004] To address the issues of traditional ice makers, the bullet-shaped ice-making module was developed. This module improves ice-making efficiency and ice-removing convenience by improving the evaporator structure. However, the bullet-shaped module still produces some meltwater during ice removal. This meltwater flows into the ice storage bin along with the ice cubes through the ice scraping mechanism. After prolonged storage, this meltwater can cause ice to stick together, making it difficult to remove and use the ice cubes. Furthermore, the bullet-shaped module requires frequent refrigerant cycle cycles during ice making, which not only increases energy consumption but can also negatively impact the stability and lifespan of the ice maker.

[0005] In order to meet these challenges, the industry continues to develop new ice-making technologies and equipment. A Chinese patent with patent publication number CN205980500U discloses an ice-turning assembly and an ice-making machine. The ice-turning assembly includes an ice box and an ice-turning rod. The ice box is provided with a plurality of ice troughs arranged in rows. A notch is provided on the partition wall between two adjacent ice troughs. The two ends of the ice-turning rod are rotatably connected to the two side walls of the ice box, and the ice-turning rod is provided with a plurality of ice-turning ribs arranged one-to-one corresponding to the ice troughs, which are used to scrape the ice out of the corresponding ice troughs. The two adjacent ice-turning ribs are staggered, so that when the ice-turning rod rotates to scrape the ice, the turned-out ice cubes can be free of ice. However, this solution has the following technical problems in actual use:

[0006] 1. Complex structure: The design of the ice turning assembly is relatively complex, including multiple ice troughs, partition walls, notches, ice turning ribs and other components, which not only increases the manufacturing cost but also may affect the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0007] 2. High maintenance difficulty: Due to the complex structure of the ice turning component and its long-term contact with water and ice, scale and impurities are easily accumulated, which not only increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance, but may also affect the ice turning effect and equipment life.

[0008] 3. Limited ice turning efficiency: Although the staggered arrangement of ice turning bars helps reduce ice sticking, the ice turning efficiency is still limited. Especially when the ice production volume is large or the ice is thick, the ice turning effect may not be ideal.

[0009] Therefore, the development of a new anti-adhesion, high-efficiency, and easy-to-maintain ice-making technology still has important practical significance and application value. Utility Model Content

[0010] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an anti-sticking ice maker to solve the problem that ice cubes prepared by existing ice makers are prone to sticking and thus have reduced quality.

[0011] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is achieved as follows:

[0012] An anti-adhesion ice maker includes an ice tray, an evaporator device, an ice scraping device and an ice storage box. The evaporator device includes a bullet-shaped ice-making module and a main condenser. The evaporator device is fixed to the upper end of the ice tray and the bullet-shaped ice-making module is partially inserted into the ice tray. Both ends of the ice tray are provided with rotating shafts and can rotate relative to the evaporator device. The ice scraping device is arranged on one side of the ice tray and guides the ice cubes that fall off the bullet-shaped ice-making module to the ice storage box for storage after ice making is completed. A water barrier is provided at the end of the bullet-shaped ice-making module close to the main condenser.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of the bullet-shaped ice-making modules are provided on the main condensing pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, at least two main condensing tubes are provided, and a plurality of bullet-shaped ice-making modules are provided on each of the main condensing tubes.

[0015] Furthermore, the water baffle is integrally arranged below the plurality of main condensing tubes, and the water baffle is in the shape of an inclined flat plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the baffle is in a continuous "V" shape or a continuous "U" shape, or the baffle is in a discontinuous "V" shape or a discontinuous "U" shape, and each "U"-shaped or "V"-shaped groove corresponds to a row of the main condenser tubes.

[0017] Furthermore, a water storage box is provided below the ice-making tray, and the rotating shaft of the ice-making tray is connected to the water storage box. One end of the water storage box is connected to the ice-shoveling device through a hinge shaft. The end of the ice-shoveling device connected to the hinge shaft can rotate integrally with the ice-making tray, and the other end of the ice-shoveling device is overlapped on the guide side wall of the water storage box close to the ice storage box.

[0018] Furthermore, a plurality of first guide ribs are provided on the ice scraping device, and the first guide ribs are provided in a continuous linear or wavy shape.

[0019] Furthermore, a plurality of through holes are provided between any two adjacent first guide ribs.

[0020] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided between the water storage box and the ice storage box, the guide plate being arranged to be inclined downward from a side close to the water storage box to a side close to the ice storage box, and a plurality of second guide ribs are provided on an upper surface of the guide plate.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the anti-adhesion ice maker described in the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] (1) The anti-adhesion ice maker described in the present invention has a water-isolating plate provided at the connection between the bullet-shaped ice-making module and the main condensing pipe. Through the isolation effect, the condensed water at the main condensing pipe is prevented from flowing to the prepared ice cubes. When the ice is removed, only the connection between the bullet-shaped ice-making module and the prepared ice cubes is slightly melted without affecting other parts of the ice cubes. This ensures that the ice cubes detached from the bullet-shaped ice-making module are relatively dry, thereby reducing the occurrence of ice cube adhesion.

[0024] (2) The anti-adhesion ice maker described in the present invention prevents the melted water in the evaporator device from flowing to the prepared ice cubes and the prepared ice cubes from carrying a small amount of water to the ice storage box when being transported to the ice storage box by means of the water-blocking plate and the guide ribs, thereby reducing the wetness of the ice cube surface, effectively solving the adhesion problem generated during the ice making process, and improving the ice making quality.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the utility model. In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this utility model are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections; they can refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] Throughout this specification, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "examples," "specific examples," or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative use of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0036] Ice-making machines commonly face the problem of sticking ice. During the ice-making process, condensed water easily flows onto the finished ice, causing it to become wet. This can lead to sticking during storage, impacting ice quality and subsequent use. Furthermore, traditional ice-making machines often struggle to completely remove ice during de-icing, and can easily damage the ice. These issues have plagued the ice-making industry, creating an urgent need for new technologies that can effectively address ice sticking and improve ice quality.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model discloses an anti-adhesion ice maker, including an ice-making tray 1, an evaporator device 2, an ice-shoveling device 3 and an ice storage box 5, the evaporator device 2 includes a bullet-shaped ice-making module 201 and a main condensing pipe 202, the evaporator device 2 is fixed to the upper end of the ice-making tray 1 and the bullet-shaped ice-making module 201 is partially inserted into the ice-making tray 1, the two ends of the ice-making tray 1 are provided with a rotating shaft and can rotate relative to the evaporator device 2, the ice-shoveling device 3 is arranged on one side of the ice-making tray 1 and guides the ice cubes falling off the bullet-shaped ice-making module 201 to be stored in the ice storage box 5 after ice making is completed, and a water baffle 6 is arranged at the end of the bullet-shaped ice-making module 201 near the main condensing pipe 202.

[0038] The present application discloses an anti-adhesion ice maker. During the ice making process, water for making ice is poured into the ice tray 1, and the bullet-shaped ice making module 201 of the evaporator device 2 extends into the ice tray 1. When the water level in the ice tray 1 reaches a preset position, the compressor is started and the ice making system begins to work. The temperature around the bullet-shaped ice making module 201 and the main condensing pipe 202 in the evaporator device 2 drops sharply. Since part of the bullet-shaped ice making module 201 is deep in the water storage box, ice cubes will quickly condense around it. After ice making is completed, the ice tray 1 is rotated to drain the water in the ice tray 1. After all the water in the ice tray 1 is drained, the defrosting program is started, the switching valve is opened, and the refrigerant circulation isolates the condenser in the heat exchanger device. The refrigerant under the action of the compressor flows to the evaporator device 2 through the bypass pipe and the switching valve. At this time, the refrigerant entering the evaporator device 2 is a refrigerant with a higher temperature. In this way, the condensed water generated at the main condenser pipe 202 will not flow to the prepared ice cubes due to the isolation effect of the water baffle 6, and the connection between the bullet-head ice-making module 201 and the ice preparation is slightly melted, and the ice cubes fall off from the bullet-head ice-making module 201, thereby ensuring that the ice cubes separated from the bullet-head ice-making module 201 are in a relatively dry state. As long as there is no water on the outer surface of the ice cubes, they will not form adhesion during the storage process. Finally, they fall into the ice storage box 5 through the action of the ice shoveling device 3, and the defrosting process is completed. The anti-adhesion ice maker described in the present application is provided with a water baffle 6 at the connection between the bullet-shaped ice-making module 201 and the main condenser 202. Through the isolation effect, the condensed water at the main condenser is prevented from flowing to the prepared ice cubes, so that during de-icing, only the connection between the bullet-shaped ice-making module and the prepared ice cubes is slightly melted without affecting other parts of the ice cubes, thereby ensuring that the ice cubes detached from the bullet-shaped ice-making module are relatively dry. The provision of the water baffle prevents the melted water in the evaporator device from flowing to the prepared ice cubes, reduces the wetness of the ice cube surface, effectively solves the adhesion problem generated during the ice-making process, and improves the ice-making quality.

[0039] The anti-sticking ice maker described in this application has a compact structure, is easy to operate, and has low maintenance costs. It effectively solves the sticking problem in the ice-making process, improves ice-making efficiency and quality, injects new vitality into the development of the ice-making machine industry, and has broad market application prospects.

[0040] As a preferred example of the present application, multiple bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 are installed on the main condenser 202. In this example, multiple bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 are installed on the main condenser 202, and these bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 are evenly distributed. This design makes the ice-making process more efficient and uniform. When the ice-making system is activated, multiple bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 operate simultaneously, and the water around each module quickly condenses into ice cubes. Because the bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 are evenly distributed, the cooling effect is more uniform across the entire ice tray 1, avoiding variations in ice quality caused by uneven temperatures, improving the overall quality of the ice cubes, and making it easier for the ice cubes to remain intact during the de-icing process, reducing the possibility of breakage and adhesion. Furthermore, the coordinated operation of multiple bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 greatly improves ice-making efficiency, allowing the ice maker to produce more ice cubes in a shorter time, meeting its demand for efficient ice-making. In addition, the evenly distributed bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 also help reduce the possibility of melted water flowing into the made ice cubes, further reducing the occurrence of adhesion problems.

[0041] As a preferred example of the present application, at least two main condensing tubes 202 are provided, and multiple bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 are provided on each of the main condensing tubes 202. This design greatly improves the overall ice-making capacity of the ice-making system. When the ice-making machine is started, multiple main condensing tubes 202 work simultaneously, and the bullet-shaped ice-making modules 201 on each main condensing tube also make ice synchronously. This not only increases the total amount of ice made, but also makes the ice-making process on the entire ice-making tray 1 more uniform and efficient by dispersing the ice-making points; at the same time, the coordinated work of multiple main condensing tubes 202 also enhances the stability of the system and reduces the risk of ice-making interruption due to failure of a single condensing tube.

[0042] As a preferred example of the present application, the water baffle 6 is arranged in an integral shape below the plurality of main condensing tubes 202, and the water baffle 6 is arranged in an inclined flat plate shape. By adopting an inclined flat plate-shaped water baffle 6, the water baffle 6 can adopt an inclined structure with a high middle and low ends, or a continuous inclined structure. The inclined drainage structure helps to guide the condensed water in the de-icing process to flow in one direction, so that the condensed water is guided to the designated direction in an orderly manner, avoiding its retention on the ice tray or ice cubes, thereby reducing the possibility of forming a wet area on the surface of the ice cubes. The melted water is more effectively removed, ensuring that the condensed water does not flow onto the ice cubes, maintaining the dry state of the ice cubes, improving the quality and stability of the ice cubes, and reducing the risk of adhesion. In addition, the inclined water baffle 6 is simple and easy to structure, easy to manufacture and install, and reduces the production cost and maintenance difficulty of the ice maker.

[0043] As a preferred example of the present application, the water baffle 6 is in a continuous "V" shape or a continuous "U" shape, or the water baffle 6 is in an intermittent "V" shape or an intermittent "U" shape, and each "U"-shaped or "V"-shaped groove corresponds to a row of the main condensing tubes 202. In this arrangement, the "V"-shaped or "U"-shaped design can form a drainage groove, which greatly improves the discharge efficiency of the condensed water, so that the condensed water can be guided and discharged faster and more accurately, effectively reducing the risk of condensed water flowing into the made ice cubes during the defrosting process, not only maintaining the dry state of the ice cubes, but also greatly improving the quality and stability of the ice cubes. In addition, the continuous or intermittent "V"-shaped or "U"-shaped design also enhances the structural strength of the water baffle 6, making it more durable and reliable. At the same time, the drainage groove of this structure is easy to clean and maintain, making the maintenance of the ice maker easier and reducing the maintenance cost of the ice maker. As a preferred example of the present application, the water baffle 6 can also be designed as a split structure including a first water baffle 601 and a second water baffle 602 , and the first water baffle 601 and the second water baffle 602 are respectively arranged under the two main condensing tubes 202 .

[0044] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a water storage box 7 is disposed below the ice tray 1. The rotating shaft of the ice tray 1 is connected to the water storage box 7. One end of the water storage box 7 is connected to the ice scraper 3 via a hinge shaft 8. The end of the ice scraper 3 connected to the hinge shaft 8 is able to rotate integrally with the ice tray 1. The other end of the ice scraper 3 is attached to a guide sidewall 704 of the water storage box 7 near the ice storage bin 5. After each ice-making cycle, excess water in the ice tray 1 is drained into the water storage box 7. Simultaneously, the end of the ice scraper 3 near the ice tray 1 swings downward, forming a low-position ice-collecting state. At this point, melted ice cubes that have escaped from the bullet-shaped ice-making module 201 fall smoothly onto the ice scraper 3. When the ice tray 1 returns to its original position for the next ice-making cycle, the end of the ice scraper 3 connected to the hinge shaft 8 rises, forming a high-position ice-delivering state, thereby guiding and delivering the ice cubes on the ice scraper 3 into the ice storage bin 5.

[0045] This arrangement ensures that after each ice-making cycle, the excess water in the ice-making tray 1 can be discharged in time through the ingenious structural design of the water storage box 7, the ice-making tray 1 and the ice-shoveling device 3, so that when a new ice-making cycle begins, the water quality in the ice-making tray 1 remains fresh, thereby greatly improving the ice-making quality. At the same time, it realizes the automatic shedding, reception and guided transportation of ice cubes, greatly improving the operating efficiency and automation level of the ice-making machine, reducing manual intervention, reducing labor intensity, and improving the overall performance of the ice-making machine and user experience.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the ice scraper device 3 is provided with a plurality of first guide ribs 301. In this improved embodiment, the ice scraper device 3 is ingeniously provided with a plurality of first guide ribs 301. These guide ribs can be continuous linear or wavy. This design not only enhances the structural strength of the ice scraper device 3 but also optimizes its guiding performance, allowing ice cubes to be more accurately guided into the ice storage bin 5, thereby improving the operating efficiency and accuracy of the ice maker. Specifically, a plurality of through-holes are provided between any two adjacent first guide ribs 301. When ice cubes fall off the ice tray 1 and onto the ice scraper device 3, the guiding effect of the first guide ribs 301 ensures smoother sliding and accurate guidance into the ice storage bin 5. Furthermore, any water droplets or thin layers of ice on the surface of the ice cubes are guided by the first guide ribs 301 and assisted by the through-holes, allowing them to quickly drain into the water storage bin 7, preventing them from accumulating on the surface and effectively reducing the risk of ice cubes sticking to each other. In addition, this design makes the structure of the ice scraping device 3 more reasonable, easier to manufacture and clean, and reduces the maintenance cost of the ice maker.

[0047] As a preferred example of the present application, the ice scraping device 3 is arranged in a grid or mesh shape. This arrangement discloses another structure of the ice scraping device 3, which enables the ice scraping device 3 to have good air permeability and water permeability while maintaining sufficient structural strength. When ice cubes fall off the ice tray 1 and fall onto the ice scraping device 3, the grid or mesh structure can ensure that the ice cubes are evenly supported, ensuring that the ice cubes can be accurately and smoothly transported to the ice storage box 5, thereby improving the operating efficiency and accuracy of the ice maker; at the same time, this structure also reduces the contact area between ice cubes and between ice cubes and the ice scraping device 3, greatly reducing the risk of ice cubes sticking together, thereby improving the quality of ice making. In addition, the ice scraping device 3 with a grid or mesh structure is also easy to clean and maintain because of its simple structure and lack of complex dead corners, which reduces the difficulty and cost of cleaning.

[0048] As a preferred example of the present application, a guide plate 4 is provided between the water storage box 7 and the ice storage box 5. The guide plate 4 is provided in an inclined downward shape from the side close to the water storage box 7 to the side close to the ice storage box 5. A plurality of second guide ribs 401 are provided on the upper surface of the guide plate 4.

[0049] This arrangement, through the tilted design of guide plate 4 and the provision of second guide ribs 401, significantly improves the guiding performance of the ice-making system, ensuring that ice and water flow accurately and smoothly toward ice storage bin 5, thereby enhancing the system's operational efficiency. It also helps optimize the movement of water and ice, reducing collision and friction between the two during flow, thereby lowering the risk of ice breakage and sticking, and improving ice quality. Furthermore, the design of guide plate 4 and second guide ribs 401 makes the ice-making system more compact and rational, easier to manufacture and install, and reduces production costs and maintenance.

[0050] As a preferred example of the present application, a plurality of third guide ribs 501 are provided at the bottom of the ice storage box 5 .

[0051] By providing a plurality of third guide ribs 501 at the bottom of the ice storage box 5, the ice cubes are prevented from directly contacting the bottom plate of the ice storage box 5. Even if a small amount of water adheres to the surface of the prepared ice cubes when they are guided and transported by the ice shoveling device 3 and the guide plate 4, the risk of ice cubes sticking together is reduced, which helps to maintain the independence of the ice cubes and improve the quality of ice making.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the water storage box 7 further includes a first bottom plate 701, on which fourth guide ribs 702 are disposed. The fourth guide ribs 702 are arranged in a downwardly sloping pattern from the side proximal to the guide sidewall 704 to the side distal to the guide sidewall 704. A drain outlet 703 is provided at the lowest end of the first bottom plate 701. This arrangement, through further optimization of the structure of the water storage box 7, allows water flowing into the water storage box 7 to flow smoothly along the sloping direction of the fourth guide ribs 702 and be guided in an orderly manner to the lowest end of the first bottom plate 701. This ensures that water flows quickly and accurately toward the drain outlet 703, preventing water from becoming tangled or stagnant within the water storage box 7, thereby improving the overall operational efficiency of the system. In this process, the fourth guide ribs 702 not only guide the water flow but also help maintain the cleanliness of the interior of the water storage box 7, reducing the possibility of water retention and scale accumulation. Furthermore, the design of the guide ribs reduces scale accumulation and dead corners, making cleaning easier and more efficient.

[0053] The anti-sticking ice maker described in the present application introduces a water-blocking plate between the ice tray and the evaporator device, which effectively prevents condensed water from flowing to the ice cubes that have been made, thereby greatly reducing the risk of ice cube sticking. By cleverly designing the linkage mechanism between the ice scraping device and the water storage box and the ice storage box, the automatic shedding, reception and transportation of ice cubes are realized, which greatly improves the degree of automation and operating efficiency of the ice maker. Combined with the optimized design of setting guide ribs at multiple key positions, the guiding performance of ice cubes and water flow is further optimized, ensuring that the ice cubes can be smoothly and accurately transported to the ice storage box, while reducing the retention and confusion of water flow inside the equipment, thereby improving the performance and user experience of the ice maker as a whole. The compact structure and reasonable design not only improve the ice making efficiency, but also ensure the high quality of ice cubes.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
