Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an ice-making device, and more particularly to a pump body bracket, a pump body assembly, and an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that produces ice by cooling water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system. The ice maker contains components such as a booster pump for delivering cold water and a heating module for de-icing. During production, these components are typically installed directly inside the casing or on a platform, requiring a large internal space. Furthermore, maintenance of the booster pump, heating module, and other components is difficult due to obstructions from pipes and other structural components. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a bracket that can easily provide connection and support for the pump and other components. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pump body bracket, a pump body assembly, and an ice maker to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:

[0005] A pump body bracket includes a plate, the left and right sides of which are bent forward to form mounting side plates, the front sides of the two mounting side plates are bent in opposite directions to form fixed folded edges, the bottom side of the plate is bent backward to form a transition plate, the rear side of the transition plate is bent downward to form a support plate, and the bottom side of the support plate is bent backward to form a lower folded edge.

[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: the two forward-bending mounting side plates strengthen the overall structural strength of the plate, making the mounting side plates and plate less prone to deformation under stress. Furthermore, the two mounting side plates and the plate, as well as the transition plate and the support plate, form a larger lower space and a smaller upper space, allowing the external components and electrical parts to be installed within this space. Two fixed flanges connect to the structural surface of the external components, securing the top position. A lower flange, bent at the bottom of the support plate, secures the bottom position, ensuring stable installation on the external components' structural surface. This creates connection surfaces at multiple locations, including the mounting side plates, plate, and support plate, facilitating the installation and fixation of external components. The entire pump body bracket also has an internal space to accommodate external components, making the overall structure more compact. When maintenance of components mounted on the pump body bracket is required, the entire bracket can be removed, improving maintenance convenience.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a clearance notch is provided on the right side of the support plate. During installation, the clearance notch provides space for the installation and clearance of valves such as solenoid valves, making the overall installation structure more compact.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a lower guide bevel is provided on the right side of the support plate below the clearance notch, and an upper guide bevel is provided on the bottom of the plate near the right side of the transition plate. The upper and lower guide bevels extend to the right in a mutually distancing direction. A space that gradually narrows to the left is formed between the upper and lower guide bevels, allowing external components to be installed within this space. The guidance provided by the upper and lower guide bevels facilitates the installation and positioning of structural components, further improving the ease of installation of external components.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the mounting side plate is provided with a connecting hole that extends in the front-to-back direction. The mounting side plate can be connected to the receiving space formed by the two mounting side plates and the plate body through the connecting hole. The connecting hole facilitates the routing of pipelines located inside and outside the receiving space, improving installation convenience.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the connecting hole is disposed on the mounting side plate located on the left side. A fixing lug is connected to the fixing flange directly opposite the connecting hole, and the fixing lug has a first fixing hole. A second fixing hole is disposed on the fixing flange located on the right side. The connectors of the external device can pass through the first and second fixing holes respectively to connect to the structural surface of the external device, thereby fixing the two mounting side plates. The fixing lug increases the area of ​​the fixing flange, thus increasing the opening area of ​​the first fixing hole to accommodate different types of connectors for fixing, improving the flexibility of installation and fixing.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a downwardly extending fixing plate is connected to the rear right side of the lower folded edge. The fixing plate has a third fixing hole, and the left side of the lower folded edge has a fourth fixing hole. When installing and fixing the pump body bracket, the connector can be inserted into the third fixing hole on the fixing plate and connected to the structural surface of the external device for fixation. Similarly, a connector can be inserted into the fourth fixing hole on the left side of the lower folded edge and connected to the structural surface of the external device. This allows for connection and fixation from different directions on the left and right sides of the bottom of the pump body bracket, further improving the stability of the pump body bracket installation and fixation.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the plate body is provided with a first mounting hole, the two mounting side plates are respectively provided with second mounting holes, and the support plate is provided with a third mounting hole. The first mounting hole, the second mounting hole, and the third mounting hole can be connected and fixed to the components of the external device, thereby facilitating the connection and fixing of the structural components of the external device.

[0013] A pump body assembly includes a heating module, a booster pump, a control valve, and the aforementioned pump body bracket. The heating module is connected to one of the mounting side plates, the booster pump is connected to the rear side of the plate, and the control valve is connected to the booster pump and located on the front side of the support plate.

[0014] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: In the pump body assembly, connection surfaces are formed at multiple locations such as the mounting side plate, plate, and support plate, which can be used to install structural components such as heating modules, booster pumps, and control valves, thereby connecting them to form a stable and compact whole. When it is necessary to maintain the components installed on the pump body bracket, the entire pump body bracket can be removed, improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0015] An ice maker includes the pump assembly described above.

[0016] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: due to the stable and compact structure of the pump body assembly, it can effectively reduce the space required inside the ice maker, reduce the overall volume, and facilitate installation, use, and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connection relationships mentioned herein do not simply refer to direct connection of components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this invention can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 A pump body bracket includes a plate 11, the left and right sides of the plate 11 are bent forward to form mounting side plates 12, the front sides of the two mounting side plates 12 are bent in opposite directions to form fixed flanges 13, the bottom side of the plate 11 is bent backward to form a transition plate 14, the rear side of the transition plate 14 is bent downward to form a support plate 15, and the bottom side of the support plate 15 is bent backward to form a lower flange 16.

[0023] In this pump body bracket, two forward-bent mounting side plates 12 strengthen the overall structural strength of the plate 11, making the mounting side plates 12 and the plate 11 less prone to deformation under stress. Furthermore, the two mounting side plates 12 and the plate 11, and the transition plate 14 and the support plate 15, form a recessed space with a larger lower section and a smaller upper section, allowing external components and electrical parts to be installed within this space. Two fixed flanges 13 are used to connect to the structural surface of the external components, securing the top position. Meanwhile, on the bottom side of the support plate 15… The bent section forms a lower folded edge 16 for fixing, which can fix the bottom position and thus securely install it on the structural surface of the external device. This creates connection surfaces at multiple locations such as the mounting side plate 12, plate 11, and support plate 15, which can facilitate the installation and fixing of the external device components. In addition, the entire pump body bracket also has a space to accommodate the external device components, making the overall structure more compact. When it is necessary to maintain the components installed on the pump body bracket, the entire pump body bracket can be removed, improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0024] In this embodiment, a clearance notch 151 is provided on the right side of the support plate 15 to better accommodate the structural components installed in front of the support plate 15. During installation, the clearance notch 151 provides space for the installation and clearance of valves such as solenoid valves, making the overall installation structure more compact.

[0025] Furthermore, a lower guide bevel 152 is provided on the right side of the support plate 15 below the clearance notch 151, and an upper guide bevel 111 is provided on the bottom of the plate body 11 near the right side of the transition plate 14. The upper guide bevel 111 and the lower guide bevel 152 extend to the right in a direction away from each other. A space that gradually narrows to the left is formed between the upper guide bevel 111 and the lower guide bevel 152. External components can be installed in this space. The guidance of the upper guide bevel 111 and the lower guide bevel 152 facilitates the installation and positioning of structural components, further improving the convenience of installing external components.

[0026] In some embodiments, the mounting side plate 12 is provided with a connecting hole 121, which extends in the front-rear direction. The mounting side plate 12 can be connected to the receiving space formed by the two mounting side plates 12 and the plate body 11 through the connecting hole 121. The connecting hole 121 can be used to facilitate the routing of pipelines located inside and outside the receiving space, thereby improving the ease of installation.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting hole 121 is disposed on the mounting side plate 12 located on the left side. A fixing lug 131 is connected to the fixing flange 13 opposite the connecting hole 121. The fixing lug 131 has a first fixing hole, and the fixing flange 13 located on the right side has a second fixing hole. The connectors of the external device can pass through the first and second fixing holes respectively to connect to the structural surface of the external device, thereby fixing the two mounting side plates 12. The fixing lug 131 increases the area of ​​the fixing flange 13, thus increasing the opening area of ​​the first fixing hole to accommodate different types of connectors for fixing, improving the flexibility of installation and fixing.

[0028] To improve the structural stability of the pump body bracket at its bottom, in this embodiment, a downwardly extending fixing piece 161 is connected to the rear right side of the lower folded edge 16. The fixing piece 161 has a third fixing hole 162, and the left side of the lower folded edge 16 has a fourth fixing hole. When installing and fixing the pump body bracket, a connector can be inserted into the third fixing hole 162 on the fixing piece 161 and connected to the structural surface of the external device for fixation. Similarly, a connector can be inserted into the fourth fixing hole on the left side of the lower folded edge 16 and connected to the structural surface of the external device. This allows for connection and fixation from different directions on both sides of the bottom of the pump body bracket, further improving the stability of the pump body bracket installation.

[0029] In some embodiments, the plate 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 112, the two mounting side plates 12 are respectively provided with second mounting holes 122, and the support plate 15 is provided with a third mounting hole 153. In practical applications, there are multiple first mounting holes 112, second mounting holes 122, and third mounting holes 153. The first mounting holes 112, second mounting holes 122, and third mounting holes 153 can be connected and fixed to the components of the peripheral device, thereby facilitating the connection and fixing of the structural components of the peripheral device.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a pump body assembly includes a heating module 21, a booster pump 22, a control valve (not shown in the figure), and the aforementioned pump body bracket. The heating module 21 is an electrical component for heating and is connected to a mounting side plate 12. The booster pump 22 is connected to the rear side of the plate 11, and the control valve is connected to the booster pump 22 and is located on the front side of the support plate 15.

[0031] In the pump body assembly, connection surfaces are formed at multiple locations such as the mounting side plate 12, plate 11, and support plate 15, which can be used to install structural components such as heating module 21, booster pump 22, and control valve. This connects to form a stable and compact whole. When it is necessary to maintain the components installed on the pump body bracket, the entire pump body bracket can be removed, which improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0032] An ice maker includes the pump assembly described above.

[0033] Because of its robust and compact structure, the pump body assembly effectively reduces the space required inside the ice maker, decreases the overall size, and facilitates installation, use, and maintenance.
