DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined purpose, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects according to the present application are described in detail as follows in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0023] As shown in the drawing, an ice maker with double water inlet pipelines comprises a machine body 1, an ice making water tank and a double water inlet channel. Figures 1-4 The ice making water tank is arranged inside the machine body 1, and the double water inlet channel is used to supply water to the ice making water tank.

[0024] Specifically, the double water inlet channel comprises a tap water inlet pipeline 2 and a water tank inlet pipeline 3. The tap water inlet pipeline 2 is used to connect a water tap, and the first water outlet end is in communication with the ice making water tank to supply water to the ice making water tank. In addition, the water tank inlet pipeline 3 has a second water inlet end 31 and a second water outlet end. The second water inlet end 31 is used to connect an external water tank, and the second water outlet end is used to supply water to the ice making water tank and is in communication with the ice making water tank. A water supply pump device 4 is arranged between the second water outlet end and the second water inlet end 31.

[0025] In this way, when the user needs to use tap water, only the first water inlet end 21 in the water tank inlet pipeline 3 needs to be installed on the water tap. Since the tap water itself has a water supply pressure, the tap water can be smoothly supplied to the ice making water tank. When the user needs to use an external water tank or an external barrel water, only the second water inlet end 31 needs to be installed on the water outlet of the external water tank or the external barrel water. The water body of the external water tank or the external barrel water flows to the water supply pump device 4 through the water tank inlet pipeline 3 and is pressurized by the water supply pump device 4, so that the water body of the external water tank or the external barrel water can be smoothly supplied to the ice making water tank.

[0026] Therefore, the ice maker can be suitable for tap water with water supply pressure and external water tank or external barrel water without water supply pressure, so that the applicability of the equipment to the water supply environment is effectively improved.

[0027] It should be noted that the water supply pump device 4 can be obtained by market purchase.

[0028] The second water inlet end 31 and the water supply pump device 4 are provided with a buffer water storage device, and when used, the water of the external water tank or the external barrel water first flows into the buffer water storage device. When the water supply pump device 4 is started, the buffer water storage device can relatively quickly supply water to the water supply pump device 4, so as to avoid the case that the water supply pump device 4 cannot be quickly supplied with water due to the slow flow rate of the water of the external water tank or the external barrel water. Specifically, the inner diameter of the buffer water storage device is greater than the diameter of the tap water inlet pipe 2, so as to ensure that the buffer water storage device has a certain water storage function, and the horizontal height of the buffer water storage device is higher than that of the water supply pump device 4, so as to ensure that the water of the buffer water storage device can flow smoothly into the water supply pump device 4.

[0029] The buffer water storage device is a water storage tank 5, the water outlet end of the water storage tank 5 is detachably connected with the water supply pump device 4, and the water storage tank 5 is arranged in the horizontal direction. The outer surface of the machine body 1 is provided with a clamping part 6, and the water storage tank 5 is detachably buckled on the clamping part 6. The above structure can make the user detach the water storage tank 5 and the related pipeline when not using the water tank inlet pipe 3. Further, the machine body 1 has a bottom plate 7 and a back plate 8, the water supply pump device 4 is arranged on the inner surface of the bottom plate 7, and the clamping part 6 is arranged on the outer surface of the back plate 8 and located at the lower part of the back plate 8, so as to reduce the external size of the ice maker after the water storage tank 5 and the related pipeline are detached, and further reduce the overall volume.

[0030] The clamping part 6 is provided with two clamping parts 6, and the two clamping parts 6 are arranged along the axial direction of the water storage tank 5, so as to more stably install the water storage tank 5.

[0031] The second water inlet end 31 is provided with a connecting nut 9, which facilitates the installation of the water tank inlet pipe 3 on the external water tank or the external barrel water.

[0032] The filter device is arranged between the first water inlet end 21 and the first water outlet end, and is used for filtering water. The filter device comprises a first filter for coarsely filtering impurities in water, a second filter for finely filtering impurities in water, and a third filter for improving the taste of water. The filtered tap water can be directly used for the ice maker, and the sanitary level of the ice maker is improved. Specifically, the first filter is a PP cotton filter core, the second filter is an RO membrane filter core, and the third filter is an activated carbon filter core, so that the impurities are removed and the taste of water is improved.

[0033] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
