AI Technical Summary
The existing ice-removal structure of ice makers is inefficient, and the single heating method results in uneven ice removal, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot meet the needs of mass production.
The vibration structure combines a two-way screw and linkage mechanism. Through the mutual movement of the top and bottom plates, the top head squeezes and vibrates the ice-making mold plate, breaking the adhesion between the ice and the mold and achieving rapid ice removal.
It improves de-icing efficiency, avoids mold damage and ice breakage, achieves non-destructive operation, and meets the needs of mass production.
