Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic ice skating device and an ice maker, belonging to the technical field of ice-making equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The ice maker mainly consists of a housing assembly, an ice-making unit system, a water supply system, a microcomputer control system, and an ice storage chamber. Its working process is as follows: plug in the power cord and turn on the switch. Under the control of the microcomputer control system, water enters through the water inlet valve. After a certain period of time, the water inlet valve stops entering water. At the same time, the microcomputer control system controls the unit to cool the ice mold and controls the water supply system to continuously inject water into the ice mold, thereby forming ice blocks inside the ice mold. When the ice blocks reach a certain thickness, the microcomputer control system controls the unit to switch to a heat pump, which causes the ice mold to heat up and thaw. Traditional bullet-shaped ice makers require the ice blocks to be shoveled into the ice storage chamber after thawing, and there is a risk of ice jamming during the shoveling process.

[0003] The present invention aims to provide an automatic ice skating device and ice maker with a more optimized structure, which solves the problem that traditional bullet-shaped ice makers still need to shovel the ice blocks into the ice storage chamber after the ice is removed, and there is a problem of ice jamming during the ice shoveling process.
