Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water equipment technology, and in particular to an ice-making and water purification machine. Background Technology
[0002] An ice maker and water purifier is a household appliance that integrates water purification, ice making, and drinking functions. It uses an internal refrigeration system, such as a compressor, evaporator, and condenser, to work together to transform liquid water into solid ice. Users can not only obtain ice water or hot water, but also make ice cubes as needed. During the ice-making process, the compressor provides high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant, which absorbs heat in the evaporator to freeze the water, and releases heat in the condenser to return to a liquid state. This cycle repeats to achieve the ice-making function.
[0003] However, existing ice makers and water purifiers include components such as a casing, ice-making module, heating module, water purification module, and two water tanks, making them relatively large and space-consuming, which fails to meet users' demand for smaller, more compact home appliances. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an ice-making and water-purifying machine with a compact structure, small overall product size, and small space occupation.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:
[0006] An ice-making and water purifier includes a housing, a raw water tank, a water purification module, a purified water tank, an ice-making module, and a heating module. The water purification module is connected to the raw water tank and the purified water tank at both ends, respectively. The purified water tank is connected to the ice-making module and the heating module at both ends, respectively. The ice-making module has an ice dispensing section, and the heating module has a water dispensing section. The housing has a dispensing area on its front side. The water purification module, ice-making module, and heating module are all housed within the housing, with the heating module located in front of the water purification module. The raw water tank is placed on the housing, and the ice-making module and water purification module are arranged side-by-side with the raw water tank. The ice dispensing section of the ice block and the water dispensing section of the heating module extend to the dispensing area, with the purified water tank placed on the dispensing area and close to the water purification module. This ice maker and water purifier eliminates the need for internal space for the purified water tank by placing it on the dispensing area, allowing for a smaller overall product size. Furthermore, the proximity of the purified water tank to the water purification module shortens the water transmission path, resulting in a more compact structure. Additionally, the side-by-side arrangement of the ice-making module, water purification module, and raw water tank contributes to a compact overall structure, smaller size, and less space required.
[0007] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures:
[0008] Specifically, the front side of the shell is provided with a concave area, which constitutes the discharge area. The ice outlet extends to the side wall of the concave area, the water outlet extends to the upper wall of the concave area, and the clean water tank is placed on the bottom wall of the concave area. The ice outlet and the clean water tank are located on both sides of the water outlet, respectively. This achieves the separation of the ice outlet, the clean water tank, and the water outlet in the discharge area, which is conducive to their independent and stable operation.
[0009] Furthermore, a control module is also provided inside the housing. A first magnetic switch is provided inside the housing. The control module is electrically connected to the first magnetic switch, the ice-making module, and the heating module. A water purification chamber is provided inside the water purification tank. A water level seat with a water level float is provided at the top of the water purification chamber. When the water level float rises to the top of the water level seat, the water level float magnetically controls the first magnetic switch. After receiving the signal from the first magnetic switch, the control module controls the raw water tank to stop supplying water to the water purification module, which can effectively prevent the water purification chamber from overflowing due to overfilling.
[0010] Specifically, a second magnetic switch is also provided inside the housing and is located below the first magnetic switch. The second magnetic switch is electrically connected to the control module. A magnetic element is provided inside the water purification chamber and corresponds to the position of the second magnetic switch. When the water purification tank is placed in place, the magnetic element will magnetically attract the second magnetic switch. After receiving the signal from the second magnetic switch, the control module controls the raw water tank to deliver water to the water purification module, thereby causing the filtered water to flow to the water purification tank.
[0011] Specifically, the water purification tank includes a tank body and a tank cover. The tank body is provided with the water purification chamber. The lower part of the tank cover extends downward with a surrounding wall. The tank cover closes on the upper opening of the water purification chamber, and the surrounding wall extends downward into the water purification chamber. The water level seat and the magnetic suction component are provided on the inner side of the surrounding wall. The surrounding wall provides a stable mounting carrier for the water level seat and the magnetic suction component, which facilitates the installation of the water level seat and the magnetic suction component in the water purification chamber. At the same time, the installation operation of the water level seat and the magnetic suction component on the surrounding wall is relatively simple and convenient.
[0012] Specifically, the discharge area is provided with a mounting base, the mounting base has a mounting groove, and the mounting groove is provided with a water inlet valve. The lower part of the water tank is provided with an annular recess that inserts into the mounting groove. The bottom of the water tank has a water inlet that connects to the water purification chamber. One end of the water inlet valve passes through the water inlet and extends into the water purification chamber. The cooperation between the annular recess and the mounting groove enables the water tank to be stably installed on the mounting base. At the same time, the cooperation between the water inlet valve and the water inlet facilitates the water connection between the water tank and the water purification module.
[0013] Specifically, it further includes a fixing frame, which is fixed inside the housing and located between the raw water tank and the ice-making module. The fixing frame is provided with a first fixing area and a second fixing area. The water purification module is set in the first fixing area and the heating module is set in the second fixing area. The fixing frame provides an installation carrier for the water purification module and the heating module, which not only enables the installation of the water purification module and the heating module inside the housing, but also makes the distance between the water purification module and the heating module smaller, making the overall product more compact and smaller in size.
[0014] Specifically, the water purification module includes a first filter element and a second filter element. A fixing groove is provided on the fixing frame, which constitutes the first fixing area. The first filter element and the second filter element are both fixed on the fixing groove and are arranged side by side. The fixing groove has a simple structure and facilitates the installation and fixing of the first filter element and the second filter element on the fixing frame. At the same time, the first filter element and the second filter element work together to achieve dual filtration of water quality and ensure the water purification level of the water tank.
[0015] Specifically, a support extends outward from the outer side of the fixed frame, forming the second fixed area. The heating module is placed on the bottom wall of the support, and a connector passes through the side wall of the support and is fixedly connected to the heating module. The bottom wall serves to initially support the heating module, while the support is fixedly connected to the heating module through the side wall. The connection operation is simple and convenient.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] (1) This ice maker and water purifier has a water tank set on the discharge area, so there is no need to set up space inside the shell to put the water tank, which makes the overall size of the product smaller. At the same time, the water tank and the water purification module are close to each other, which makes the water transmission path between them shorter and the structure more compact. Furthermore, the ice maker, water purification module and raw water tank are arranged side by side, which also makes the overall structure of the product more compact, the overall size smaller and the space occupied less.
[0018] (2) The enclosure provides a stable mounting carrier for the water level seat and the magnetic suction component, which facilitates the installation of the water level seat and the magnetic suction component in the water purification chamber. At the same time, the installation operation of the water level seat and the magnetic suction component on the enclosure is relatively simple and convenient.
[0019] (3) The fixed frame provides an installation carrier for the water purification module and the heating module, which can not only realize the installation of the water purification module and the heating module in the housing, but also make the distance between the water purification module and the heating module smaller, making the product more compact and smaller in size.
