Furthermore, a flip motor drives the ice-making bin to rotate, and a swing plate strikes the ice, helping it to more quickly fall off the ice-making mold. The following describes this ice-making machine in detail. It should be noted that the order in which the following embodiments are described does not limit the preferred order of the embodiments.
[0022] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] See also Figure 1-6 In this embodiment, an ice maker for improving the transparency of ice cubes is provided, comprising: an ice maker body 1, wherein an ice making bin 102 and an ice cube bin 2 are provided inside the ice maker body 1; an ice making assembly, which is provided inside the ice maker body 1 and is used to make ice cubes and complete the discharging of ice cubes; and a layering assembly, which is provided inside the ice making bin 102 and is used to assist in layering ice during the ice making process to improve transparency. During use, the ice maker body 1 is provided with the ice making bin 102 and the ice cube bin 2. The ice making bin 102 is used to make ice cubes, and the ice cube bin 2 is used to store the made ice cubes.
[0025] Among them, the ice making assembly includes: an ice making plate 3 provided on the top inner wall of the ice maker body 1, a cold pipe 301 for conveying cold liquid is connected to the ice making plate 3, an ice making inner mold 302 is provided at the bottom of the ice making plate 3, and the cold pipe 301 is conductive with the inside of the ice making inner mold 302; a flip motor 101 provided inside the ice maker body 1, a driving shaft of the flip motor 101 is connected to the ice making bin 102, and swing plates 110 are rotatably connected on the inner walls of both sides of the ice making bin 102; a collecting bin 201 provided between the ice making bin 102 and the ice cube bin 2, an ice shovel 107 is provided on one side of the ice making bin 102; a discharge port 204 is provided on one side of the top of the ice cube bin 2, a feeding motor 202 is provided on one side of the discharge port 204, and a feeding rod 203 is connected to the feeding motor 202 on one side through a driving shaft, the feeding rod 203 is located inside the ice cube bin 2, and the feeding rod 203 is arranged in a threaded structure;
[0026] After the ice cubes are removed from the ice making bin 102, the ice shovel 107 is used to separate the ice cubes from the ice making bin 102 and to separate the ice cubes from the ice making bin 302.
[0027] When the user needs to take the ice, the loading motor 202 drives the loading rod 203 to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the loading rod 203 will guide the material to move upward and be discharged from the discharge port 204, thereby completing the production and discharge of ice cubes, and providing stable ice production and discharge.
[0028] Among them, a retarder motor 111 is also provided on the top inner wall of the ice maker body 1. One side of the retarder motor 111 is connected to a swing arm via a drive shaft, and one side of the swing arm is connected to a double-linked swing plate 112. During use, the retarder motor 111 is installed on the top inner wall of the ice maker body 1, connected to the swing arm via a drive shaft, and one side of the swing arm is connected to the double-linked swing plate 112. The retarder motor 111 drives the double-linked swing plate 112 to perform complex multi-directional vibrations, further improving the demolding effect. At the same time, the multi-directional vibration of the double-linked swing plate 112 can more effectively help the ice cubes demold, reduce the adhesion between the ice cubes and the mold, and improve the demolding success rate.
[0029] The ice scraper 107 has multiple water-proof openings 108 on its surface, and an auxiliary roller 109 is rotatably connected to its bottom. When the ice scraper 107 pushes the ice cubes, the water-proof openings 108 reduce water resistance, and the auxiliary roller 109 reduces friction, allowing the ice cubes to slide more smoothly into the collection bin 201. The design of the ice scraper 107 reduces water resistance and friction, improving the efficiency of ice demolding and collection.
[0030] Among them, a guide track 205 is provided at the connection between one side of the discharge port 204 and the ice cube bin 2, and the guide track 205 is an arc-shaped structure. During use, the arc effect of the guide track 205 can guide the ice cubes to fall out of the ice cube bin 2 instead of falling directly. Instead, they will slide out in the direction of an arc parabola, thereby improving the discharge stability of the ice cubes and preventing the ice cubes from being broken.
[0031] Among them, a control panel 4 is provided on one side of the ice maker body 1, and the control panel 4 is electrically connected to the flip motor 101, the water level sensor 104, the solenoid valve 106, the retarder motor 111 and the feeding motor 202 respectively. The control panel 4 can be used to monitor and control the various components of the ice maker in real time to ensure the smooth progress of the ice making process.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] On the basis of Example 1, the layered component includes: a water level detection strip 103 provided on the inner wall of the ice making bin 102, and a plurality of equidistantly distributed water level sensors 104 are provided on the water level detection strip 103; a plurality of limit openings 105 are opened on the surface of the ice making bin 102, and the plurality of limit openings 105 respectively correspond to the heights of the plurality of water level sensors 104, and a solenoid valve 106 is provided inside the limit opening 105. Through the combination of the water level detection strip 103 and the water level sensor 104, the water level can be accurately controlled to ensure the consistency of the water supply each time. When the appropriate water level needs to be reached, the water level sensor 104 will detect and open the corresponding solenoid valve 106 through feedback from the control panel 4. At this time, through the cooperation of the limit opening 105 and the solenoid valve 106, water supply on demand can be achieved, and the current maximum water level in the ice making bin 102 is limited. At this time, the principle of forming ice cubes by multiple layers is utilized to reduce the formation of bubbles and improve the transparency of the ice cubes.
