[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application.

In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0020] The present application provides a multifunctional ice maker that, through the design of a constant-flow component, ensures that water remains flowing within the ice mold, effectively reducing the formation of bubbles and significantly improving the transparency of the ice. This not only enhances the aesthetics of the ice but also enhances the user experience, particularly in homes and small businesses, where the demand for transparent ice is particularly high. The multifunctional ice maker is described in detail below. It should be noted that the order in which the following embodiments are described does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0021] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] See also Figure 1-5 In this embodiment, a multifunctional ice maker is provided, comprising: an ice maker main unit 1, internally provided with a material bin 3, with a transfer platform 2 located on top of the bin 3; an ice mold 101, located on top of the transfer platform 2, for storing drinking water and assisting in ice formation; an ice-making assembly, located on top of the ice mold 101, for condensing the water stored in the ice mold 101; and a constant flow assembly, located within the ice mold 101, for cooperating with the ice mold 101 to form a flowing water flow, thereby improving the transparency of the ice. During use, the ice maker main unit 1, serving as the foundation of the entire device, includes an internal material bin 3 for storing finished ice. The transfer platform 2, located on top of the material bin 3, supports the ice mold 101 and transfers and separates the ice and water.

[0024] The ice-making assembly includes: a refrigeration plate 105 provided on the top of the ice-making mold 101, a plurality of forming rods 107 provided at the bottom of the refrigeration plate, and the forming rods 107 are located inside the ice-making mold 101; a refrigeration pipe 106 provided inside the ice-making machine main body 1, and the refrigeration pipe 106 passes through the refrigeration plate 105 and the forming rods 107; a discharge motor 112 provided on one side of the ice-making machine main body 1, and the discharge motor 112 is connected to the ice-making mold 101 through a drive shaft; an ice scraper 108 is provided on the surface of the ice-making mold 101, and the end of the ice scraper 108 contacts the inner wall of the transfer platform 2;

[0025] During use, when the user needs to make ice, the control panel 4 can be used to start the refrigeration tube 106. During the circulation of the refrigeration tube 106, the refrigerant inside can be frozen and cooled and transported to the refrigeration plate 105 and the forming rod 107. In this way, the temperature of the forming rod 107 is reduced. The forming rod 107 can come into contact with the water in the ice-making mold 101 and absorb the temperature of the water, gradually forming ice cubes. In this way, ice making is completed quickly.

[0026] After ice making is completed, the ice-making mold 101 can be driven by the discharge motor 112 to swing and discharge the material downward into the transfer table 2. The swing back of the ice-making mold 101 can drive the ice shovel 108 to shovel the ice cubes from the transfer table 2 into the material bin 3 below, thereby completing the production of ice cubes and the preparation of materials.

[0027] Among them, a discharge port 303 is opened on one side of the top of the material bin 3, and a driving motor 301 is provided on the top of the discharge port 303. A driving rod 302 is connected to one side of the driving motor 301 through a driving shaft, and the driving rod 302 is arranged in a threaded structure;

[0028] During use, when the user needs to take out the ice cubes inside the material bin 3, the user can start the drive motor 301 through the control panel 4. At this time, the drive motor 301 will drive the drive rod 302 to rotate, and use the threaded drive rod 302 to guide the ice cubes to move upward along the drive rod 302 and reach the position of the discharge port 303 for discharge.

[0029] Among them, the inner walls on both sides of the ice-making mold 101 are rotatably connected with swing plates 109, and the width of the swing plates 109 is greater than the distance between the swing plates 109 and the forming rod 107. During use, when the ice-making mold 101 swings, the swing plates 109 will swing with the swing of the ice-making mold 101. At this time, the swing plates 109 can tap the ice cubes on the forming rod 107 and make the ice cubes able to be discharged more quickly, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the device and preventing adhesion and difficulty in discharge.

[0030] Among them, a control panel 4 is provided on the surface of one side of the ice maker main unit 1, and the control panel 4 is electrically connected to the unloading motor 112, the rotating motor 110, the driving motor 301 and the refrigeration pipe 106 respectively. During use, the control panel 4 can control the opening and closing of electrical equipment such as the unloading motor 112, the rotating motor 110, the driving motor 301 and the refrigeration pipe 106, thereby improving the user's convenience.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Based on Example 1, the constant flow component includes: a water inlet 102 provided on one side of the top of the ice maker main unit 1, a plurality of slow flow plates 104 provided inside the water inlet 102, the slow flow plates 104 being arranged in an arc-shaped structure, the plurality of slow flow plates 104 being staggered with each other, and a slow flow cavity being formed between two adjacent slow flow plates 104; a flow outlet 103 provided on one side of the ice making mold 101, and the diameter of the flow outlet 103 being smaller than the diameter of the water inlet 102;

[0033] During use, the water inlet 102 receives drinking water from the external connection, and the water flow rate is slowed down by the slow flow cavity formed by the slow flow plate 104. The water then enters the ice-making mold 101 through the flow outlet 103. The flowing water flow is used to prevent bubbles from being retained, making the ice cubes more transparent. The design of the slow flow plate 104 effectively reduces the impact force when the water flows into the mold, which helps to form a more uniform water flow, thereby improving the transparency of the ice cubes.

[0034] Among them, a rotating motor 110 is provided at the bottom of the ice-making mold 101, and an exhaust plate 111 is connected to the top of the rotating motor 110 through a driving shaft. During use, the rotating motor 110 drives the exhaust plate 111 to rotate through the driving shaft. The exhaust plate 111 can promote the discharge of air in the mold during rotation. This step helps to further reduce bubbles in the ice cubes and improve the purity and transparency of the ice cubes.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0036] The above is a detailed introduction to a multifunctional ice maker provided in an embodiment of the present application. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the technical solutions and core ideas of the present application.
