Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to a quantitative ice dispensing device for an ice making machine. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator, which is then cooled by the refrigerant in the refrigeration system. Using a refrigeration system, water is passed through a device under power to produce ice. The shape of the ice produced varies depending on the evaporator's principle and production method. Ice makers are generally categorized by ice shape, including cube ice, flake ice, plate ice, tube ice, and shell ice.

[0003] The ice dispensing device of the existing ice maker is generally not equipped with a device for quantitatively controlling the amount of ice cubes. When people receive ice cubes, they need to control the switch in real time, which may cause too much or too little ice to be dispensed, causing trouble to people. Some quantitative devices cannot change the quantitative data, thereby reducing the overall adaptability of the device. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 A quantitative ice-discharging device for an ice-making machine includes a base 1, a fixed plate 2 is provided at the upper end of the base 1, an ice-making machine 3 is provided at the front end of the fixed plate 2, a connecting pipe 5 is provided at the lower end of the ice-making machine 3, a box body 6 is provided at the lower end of the connecting pipe 5, an ice-discharging pipe 7 is provided at the lower end of the box body 6, a connecting ring 8 is provided inside the box body 6, a plurality of elastic telescopic rods 9 are slidably connected to the connecting ring 8, and a receiving mechanism for receiving ice cubes is commonly provided at the upper ends of the plurality of elastic telescopic rods 9. The receiving mechanism includes a fixing ring provided at the upper ends of the plurality of elastic telescopic rods 9, a receiving disk 10 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing ring, the receiving disk 10 is semicircular, and a solenoid valve 11 is provided at the lower end of the receiving disk 10.

[0022] A weighing mechanism for weighing the receiving mechanism is provided at the bottom of the box body 6. The weighing mechanism includes a weight sensor 14 arranged at the bottom of the box body 6. The lower ends of multiple elastic telescopic rods 9 are all arranged at the upper ends of the weight sensor 14. By applying pressure to the multiple elastic telescopic rods 9, when the pressure on the weight sensor 14 is consistent with the required weight of the ice cubes, the solenoid valve 11 is opened, and the ice cubes fall into the cup through the ice discharge pipe 7, thereby achieving quantitative ice discharge of the ice cubes and avoiding the situation where the amount of ice discharged is too large or too small.

[0023] A plurality of circumferentially arranged threaded rods 13 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the box body 6. The plurality of threaded rods 13 all pass through the connecting ring 8 and are threadedly connected thereto. By moving the connecting ring 8 with the receiving tray 10, the distance between the receiving tray 10 and the weight sensor 14 changes, and the amount of ice cubes received by the receiving tray 10 changes, so that the device can achieve multiple quantitative measurements of ice cubes, thereby improving the overall adaptability of the device.

[0024] A rotating ring is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box body 6 , and a gear ring 16 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating ring. Gears 15 are provided on the outer walls of the multiple threaded rods 13 , and the multiple gears 15 are engaged with the gear ring 16 .

[0025] A driving motor 12 is provided at the top of the box body 6 , wherein the end of one threaded rod 13 is connected to the end of the output shaft of the driving motor 12 . A control panel 4 is provided at the front end of the ice maker 3 , and the control panel 4 is electrically connected to the driving motor 12 .

[0026] When the present invention is used, when taking ice, a cup is placed under the ice discharging pipe 7, and the ice maker 3 puts ice into the receiving tray 10 in the box body 6. As the ice cubes continue to fall, the weight of the receiving tray 10 increases, thereby pulling the elastic telescopic rods 9 downward. Since the lower ends of the elastic telescopic rods 9 are arranged on the upper ends of the weight sensors 14, multiple elastic telescopic rods 9 apply pressure. When the pressure on the weight sensors 14 is consistent with the required weight of the ice cubes, the solenoid valve 11 is opened, allowing the ice cubes to fall into the cup through the ice discharging pipe 7, thereby achieving quantitative ice discharging and avoiding the situation of excessive or insufficient ice discharging.

[0027] When the amount of ice output needs to be adjusted, the control panel 4 is adjusted to start the drive motor 12, which drives one of the threaded rods 13 to rotate. The engagement of the multiple threaded rods 13 with the gear ring 16 and the rotation connection of the rotating ring with the bottom of the box body 6 make the multiple threaded rods 13 rotate simultaneously. The threaded connection between the threaded rods 13 and the connecting ring 8 is then used to move the connecting ring 8 with the receiving tray 10, so that the distance between the receiving tray 10 and the weight sensor 14 changes, and the amount of ice cubes received by the receiving tray 10 changes, so that the device can achieve multiple quantitative measurements of ice cubes, thereby improving the overall adaptability of the device.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
