Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of integrated ice and water machines, specifically a compact rear-flow type drinking water and ice-making structure. Background Technology

[0002] A combined ice and water dispenser typically refers to a drinking water device that integrates cooling, heating, and purification functions. This device provides users with clean, delicious ice or hot water to meet their drinking needs in various situations. The cooling function is usually achieved through a built-in refrigeration system, cooling the water to a suitable drinking temperature. The heating function uses a heating element to heat the water to boiling or a suitable drinking temperature. Combined ice and water dispensers usually use a touchscreen or button-based interface, allowing users to select cooling, heating, or purification functions as needed. The operation is simple and easy to understand. Combined ice and water dispensers can provide clean, delicious drinking water for families, meeting the drinking needs of family members in different situations. For example, in the hot summer, they can provide refreshing ice water to help people quench their thirst; in cold commercial spaces such as restaurants, cafes, and offices, they can provide consumers with refreshing hot and cold water, improving their drinking experience and satisfaction. This device can also serve as an added-value service for commercial establishments, increasing their competitiveness. In winter, they can provide warm hot water, making people feel warm and comfortable.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 A compact, rear-flow water dispenser with ice-making structure includes a water dispenser body 1. Inside the water dispenser body 1, there is a water pumping module 12 at the top and an ice-making module 11 at the bottom. The ice-making module 11 includes an evaporator 111, an ice filter 112, a cold water tank 117, and a storage refrigerator 116. The evaporator 111, the ice filter 112, and the cold water tank 117 are located near the back of the water dispenser body 1, and the storage refrigerator 116 is located at the front of the water dispenser body 1. The ice filter 112 is inclined, with the side of the ice filter 112 near the back of the water dispenser body 1 having a higher horizontal height. The cold water tank 117 is located below the ice filter 112. Ice blocks that fall off the evaporator 111 can roll into the storage refrigerator 116 along the inclined angle of the ice filter 112, and uncondensed water will pass through the ice filter 112 and flow into the cold water tank 117.

[0025] The water is transported to the ice making module 11 by the water pumping module 12, and after the water is condensed at the evaporator 111, the ice formed on the evaporator 111 can naturally roll down the inclined angle of the ice filter grid 112 to the ice storage box 116. This process does not require additional power or complex mechanical structure, realizes the automatic collection and storage of ice, reduces energy consumption and maintenance cost, and the design of the ice filter grid 112 not only helps the ice to slide smoothly, but also ensures that the water that has not been condensed into ice can flow through the structure to the lower cold water tank 117, which can be reused as drinking water or participate in the ice making cycle again, improving the utilization rate of water resources and reducing waste. The inclined ice filter grid 112 design helps the ice to naturally separate during formation, reduces adhesion, and improves the quality of the ice. At the same time, this design also promotes the ice to quickly and smoothly enter the ice storage box, improving the overall efficiency of ice making.

[0026] The evaporator 111 adopts a bullet ice evaporator.

[0027] Referring to Figures 5-6 The evaporator 111 is provided with a rotating shaft 114 on the side, and the rotating shaft 114 is provided with a rotating plate 115. The rotating plate 115 is a semicircular shell, and can rotate around the evaporator 111 with the rotating shaft 114 as the center. The rotating plate 115 as a semicircular shell can rotate around the evaporator 111. This design allows the position of the rotating plate to be adjusted as needed during ice making, thereby controlling the area of the evaporator surface exposed to the air. The rotatable design of the rotating plate 115 also simplifies the maintenance and cleaning work of the water dispenser. When the evaporator needs to be cleaned, the rotating plate can be easily rotated to expose the evaporator surface, making it easy to clean thoroughly. This not only prolongs the service life of the water dispenser, but also ensures the health and safety of the drinking water.

[0028] The evaporator 111 is provided with a limiting plate 1111 for limiting the rotating plate 115.

[0029] The evaporator 111 and the rotating plate 115 are provided with a detachable cover plate 113 above. The detachable cover plate 113 covers the ice making module 11 above and can be detached, making it more convenient for maintenance and cleaning. At the same time, it also plays a dustproof role.

[0030] The cold water tank 117 is provided with two water pumps, one for supplying water to the ice making module 11, and the other for supplying water to the water outlet of the water dispenser body 1.

[0031] The filter ice grid 112 is arrayed with elongated waist-shaped holes, and is connected with the inside of the water dispenser body 1 in a clamping structure. The design of the arrayed elongated waist-shaped holes on the filter ice grid 112 enables the water that has not condensed into ice to pass through the filter ice grid more effectively and flow to the lower cold water tank 117. The shape and arrangement of the waist-shaped holes help to ensure uniform distribution of water flow, reduce the risk of blockage, and improve the recycling rate of water resources. The design of the waist-shaped holes also helps the natural separation of ice cubes on the filter ice grid. When the ice cubes are formed on the evaporator 111 and reach a certain size, they will slide downward along the inclined angle of the filter ice grid. The presence of the waist-shaped holes makes it easier for the ice cubes to fall off the filter ice grid, reducing the likelihood of ice cubes sticking or being stuck on the filter ice grid, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of ice cube collection. The filter ice grid 112 is connected with the inside of the water dispenser body 1 in a clamping structure. This design makes it very simple and quick to install and remove the filter ice grid. Users can easily take out or put back the filter ice grid from the water dispenser without using any tools, which greatly simplifies the daily maintenance and cleaning of the water dispenser. At the same time, the clamping structure ensures the stability and reliability of the filter ice grid in the water dispenser, avoiding malfunctions caused by loosening or falling off.

[0032] Working principle: Water is transported to the ice making module 11 by the water pumping module 12. After condensation at the evaporator 111, the ice cubes formed on the evaporator 111 can naturally roll down the inclined angle of the filter ice grid 112 into the ice storage tank 116. This process does not require additional power or complex mechanical structures, achieving automated collection and storage of ice cubes, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. The design of the filter ice grid 112 not only facilitates the smooth sliding of ice cubes, but also ensures that water that has not condensed into ice passes through its structure to the lower cold water tank 117. These waters can be reused, such as as drinking water or re-participating in the ice making cycle, improving water resource utilization and reducing waste. The inclined filter ice grid 112 design helps ice cubes naturally separate during formation, reducing sticking and improving ice cube quality. At the same time, this design also promotes the rapid and smooth entry of ice cubes into the ice storage tank, improving the overall efficiency of ice making.
