[0029] It should also be understood that the words "comprise", "include", "have", "contain", "contain", when used in the specification, mean that the features, whole, steps, operations, elements and / or components exist, but do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, whole, steps, operations, elements, components and / or their combinations.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 10 , a self-balancing liquid adding ice maker is disclosed, which comprises a shell 1, and an ice forming drum 2, a scraper 3 and a liquid supply tray 4 installed in the shell 1. The scraper 3 is located in the circumferential direction of the ice forming drum 2. The upper side of the liquid supply tray 4 is provided with a top box 5 which is sealingly arranged. The lower side of the top box 5 is provided with a liquid passing pipe 6. The upper end of the liquid passing pipe 6 is in communication with the top box 5. The lower end of the liquid passing pipe 6 is provided with a valve core 7 and an outlet 8. The inner bottom surface of the liquid supply tray 4 is provided with a valve rod 9 which is in up-down separable plug-in cooperation with the lower end of the liquid passing pipe 6. When the lower end of the liquid passing pipe 6 is in up-down plug-in cooperation with the valve rod 9, the outlet 8 and the inner bottom surface have a gap 10 therebetween. The peripheral wall stop 11 of the liquid supply tray 4 is higher than the outlet 8. The valve rod 9 opens the valve core 7 so that the liquid in the top box 5 flows into the liquid supply tray 4 through the outlet 8 of the liquid passing pipe 6. The air enters the liquid passing pipe 6 through the outlet 8 and goes up along the liquid passing pipe 6 into the top box 5. When the liquid surface formed by the liquid flowing into the liquid supply tray 4 submerges the outlet 8, the liquid in the top box 5 cannot flow into the liquid supply tray 4 through the liquid passing pipe 6 because the air cannot continue to enter. When the liquid surface is lower than the outlet 8 again, the liquid in the top box 5 can flow into the liquid supply tray 4 through the liquid passing pipe 6 to supplement the liquid, thereby forming a self-balancing liquid adding structure. This is the use of the force of atmospheric pressure.

[0031] In this example, as shown in Figure 8 , 9 , the top box 5 is provided with a cavity 12, so that a kind of liquid is supplied.

[0033] By providing a plurality of cavities 12, different cavities 12 can contain different kinds of liquid. Then, the liquid in each cavity 12 flows into the liquid supply tray 4 through the respective liquid passing pipe 6 to mix, thereby making different formulations of soft ice, which has a better flavor.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , 8 , the valve core 7 is a gravity ball. In this way, when the liquid is poured into the top box 5, it is not easy to flow out of the outlet 8, and it is not easy to block.

[0035] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , 6As shown in FIG. 7, 8, the lower end of the liquid pipe 6 is detachably connected with a terminal 17, the terminal 17 is provided with an outlet 8, and the upper end of the terminal 17 is matched with the valve core 7. In this way, the structure is simple, and the assembly is convenient. In addition, in particular, it is beneficial to clean the top box 5, the liquid pipe 6, the terminal 17 and the valve core 7, that is, the terminal 17 and the valve core 7 are detached for cleaning, and the top box 5 and the liquid pipe 6 are not restricted by the terminal 17 and the valve core 7, so that the top box 5 and the liquid pipe 6 can be washed smoothly, thereby greatly improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0036] Further, as shown in FIG. 7, 8, the liquid pipe 6 is further provided with a limiting portion 20, when the terminal 17 is connected to the lower end of the liquid pipe 6, an installation space is formed between the terminal 17 and the limiting portion 20, and the valve core 7 can be conveniently installed in the installation space.

[0037] At the same time, when the valve core 7 is a gravity ball, the limiting portion 20 also constitutes an upper limit for the valve core 7, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0038] The terminal 17 is axially and sealingly sleeved with the lower end of the liquid pipe 6.

[0039] Further, as shown in FIG. 7, 8, the liquid pipe 6 is further provided with a limiting portion 20, when the terminal 17 is connected to the lower end of the liquid pipe 6, an installation space is formed between the terminal 17 and the limiting portion 20, and the valve core 7 can be conveniently installed in the installation space.
