Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to a spray pipe structure of an ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] Ice makers are devices used to make ice cubes and are widely used in restaurants, hotels, bars, cafes, and homes. Depending on the usage scenario and needs, ice makers can be divided into several types, each with its own specific characteristics and application range.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent, published on June 21, 2024, with publication number CN221197736U, discloses a spray pipe for an ice maker. The spray pipe comprises a pipe head for connecting to a water supply pipe. A removable connector is disposed between the water supply pipe and the pipe head. One end of the connector is sleeved onto the water supply pipe, and the other end has a protrusion on the outer wall. A locking member is disposed on the outer side of the protrusion. The pipe head has an insertion slot on the inner side. One end of the insertion slot extends to the end of the pipe head, and the other end has an offset slot. Both the insertion slot and the offset slot mate with the protrusion, and the offset slot has a locking hole on the inner side that mates with the locking member. The utility model maintains one end of the connector connected to the water supply pipe while the other end is inserted into the pipe head. The protrusion slides into the insertion slot. When the protrusion aligns with the offset slot, the connector is rotated relative to the pipe head by a certain angle, thereby driving the locking member to engage with the locking hole and fully secure the connection between the pipe head and the connector. Tool-free assembly and disassembly are required, making it convenient to use.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned disclosed solution has the following shortcomings: although the existing technology achieves a uniform discharge flow of water onto the ice tray, the external water injection pipe is located at one end, which makes the water injection pressure requirement high. Both too high pressure and too low pressure will prevent the water from being discharged from the evenly distributed grooves, resulting in inconsistent ice size. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the technical problem that although the prior art realizes uniform discharge of water flow to the ice making tray, the external water injection pipe is located at one end, which makes the water injection pressure requirement high. Too high pressure or too low pressure will cause the water flow to be unable to be discharged from the uniformly distributed grooves, resulting in inconsistent ice sizes. The utility model provides an ice maker spray pipe structure.

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

[0007] The utility model discloses an ice maker spray pipe structure, comprising an upper crossbeam of an ice tray; a spray inner pipe is sealably plugged into a groove on the upper crossbeam of the ice tray; a spray outer pipe is sealably sleeved on the spray inner pipe; a water inlet pipe is provided on the spray outer pipe; a plurality of water flow grooves are unequally spaced in the spray inner pipe; a plurality of first water outlets are evenly distributed on the spray inner pipe; and a second water outlet is provided on the spray outer pipe corresponding to the first water outlet.

[0008] Furthermore, a diversion protrusion is provided in the spray inner tube corresponding to the water inlet pipe; and a guide groove is formed in the gap between the two ends of the spray outer tube and the spray inner tube.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking groove is symmetrically opened on the inner side of the upper crossbeam of the ice tray; a locking wedge is inserted into the locking groove; the locking wedge is fixed to the quick-release baffle; and the quick-release baffle is symmetrically fixed to both ends of the spray outer pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the cavity between the spray outer tube and the spray inner tube forms a high-pressure chamber; and the cavity between the spray inner tube and the upper crossbeam of the ice tray forms a low-pressure chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the upper crossbeam of the ice tray.

[0012] Furthermore, positioning sockets are fixedly connected to both ends of the upper crossbeam of the ice tray.

[0013] The utility model provides an ice making machine spray pipe structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model injects ice-making water through an external water pump connected to the water inlet pipe. The ice-making water enters the outer spray pipe and the inner spray pipe, and then is evenly distributed to the other half of the inner spray pipe through the water trough. The water is then evenly discharged through the aligned first and second water outlets to form a water curtain that contacts the ice tray to make ice. This solves the problem of existing spray pipes that cannot form a water curtain at both ends when the water pressure is not high.

[0015] 2. The utility model uses the diversion protrusion to make the ice-making water entering along the water inlet pipe be divided into two directions with low resistance, thereby reducing the pressure loss of the ice-making water, so that it can be quickly divided into two streams, and then enter the two ends of the low-pressure chamber through the water trough and the guide grooves at both ends, and then be evenly discharged through the first water outlet and the second water outlet. Therefore, when the water pressure is low, water can also flow through the guide grooves at both ends, so that water flows at both ends of the low-pressure chamber, thereby forming a uniform water curtain, solving the problem that the existing sprinkler pipe cannot form a water curtain at both ends when the water pressure is not high.
