Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice storage buckets, in particular to an ice storage bucket for an ice maker with long-term storage. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It uses a refrigeration system with water as the carrier and passes it through a device under power to produce ice. The shape of the ice cubes generated varies depending on the principle and production method of the evaporator. People generally classify ice makers into granular ice machines, flake ice machines, plate ice machines, tube ice machines, shaved ice machines, etc. based on the shape of the ice. The formed ice cubes are usually stored in an ice storage bucket.

[0003] The sealing performance of the existing ice storage bucket for ice makers is poor, which easily allows external hot air to enter the ice storage bucket and accelerate the melting of ice cubes. Secondly, it is difficult for the surface of the ice storage bucket to obtain a good thermal insulation effect, resulting in rapid heat transfer and shortening the storage time of ice cubes. Therefore, an ice storage bucket for ice makers with long-term storage is proposed.

[0004] Publication No. CN212778079U discloses an ice storage bucket for an ice maker. This ice storage bucket relates to the technical field of ice storage buckets and includes an insulated bucket and a bucket cover that fits within the upper end of the insulated bucket. A drain outlet is connected through the circumference of the insulated bucket near the bottom. A partition is slidably connected to the interior of the insulated bucket, and a valve is provided above the drain outlet. In this utility model, as a user adds ice cubes to the insulated bucket, the partition moves downward within the chute as more ice cubes are added, bringing the distance between the first magnet and the second magnet closer and closer, thereby increasing the repulsive force generated. After the user uses the ice cubes, the gravity acting on the partition decreases, causing the partition to move upward, making it easier for the user to remove the ice cubes while also filtering the melted water.

[0005] Although the above patent achieves that the user adds ice cubes into the insulation barrel, as more ice cubes are added, the partition moves downward in the slide, the distance between the first magnet and the second magnet becomes closer and closer, and the repulsive force generated increases. After the user uses the ice cubes, the gravity on the partition is reduced, so that the partition moves upward to facilitate the user to take the ice, and the melted water can be filtered at the same time; however, this device is not easy to insulate the surface of the barrel, especially in hot seasons, which will accelerate the transfer of heat and cause the ice cubes inside to melt faster.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a long-lasting ice storage bucket for an ice maker to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
