[0019] 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.
[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 5 This application provides an ice-making structure for an ice-making device, including: a shell, an evaporation pipe 1, and a water distribution pipe 2. The shell includes an ice-making chamber 3 and an ice-storage chamber 4. The ice-making chamber 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 5. Multiple ice-making pockets 6 are provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 5. Ice blades 7 are hinged to one side of the multiple ice-making pockets 6. An ice-making head 8 is provided on the evaporation pipe 1 corresponding to the ice-making pockets 6. A water supply hole is opened on the water distribution pipe 2 corresponding to the ice-making pockets 6.
[0021] In some embodiments, one end of the rotating shaft 5 is connected to the output end of the first stepper motor 9, and the other end is provided with a trigger protrusion 10. A first micro switch 11 and a second micro switch 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the trigger protrusion 10. The first stepper motor 9 is connected to the first micro switch 11 and the second micro switch 12 respectively. When the trigger protrusion 10 contacts the first micro switch 11, the present application performs the water replenishment and ice making process. After the preset ice making time, the first stepper motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, so that the trigger protrusion 10 separates from the first micro switch 11 and contacts the second micro switch 12. The bullet ice block falls into the ice making chamber 3. The first stepper motor 9 reverses and resets. During the reversal process, the ice blade 7 pushes the bullet ice block and ice water into the ice storage chamber 4.
[0022] In some implementations, the evaporator tube 1 is connected to a heat exchanger.
[0023] In some implementations, the water distribution pipe 2 is connected to the water supply tank.
[0024] In some embodiments, the bottom of the ice-making cavity 3 has an arc-shaped structure, and the ice blade 7 can push the bullet ice block and ice water into the ice storage cavity 4 during the swinging process.
[0025] In some embodiments, the ice storage chamber 4 is located on one side of the ice making chamber 3. The bottom of the ice storage chamber 4 has an inclined arc-shaped structure. A water outlet 13 is provided on one side of the ice storage chamber 4, and an ice outlet 14 is provided on the other side. The water outlet 13 is lower than the ice outlet 14. The ice storage chamber 4 is rotatably connected to an ice pushing spring 15. One end of the ice pushing spring 15 is connected to the output end of the second stepper motor 16. The ice pushing spring 15 separates the bullet ice blocks in the ice storage chamber 4 from the ice-water mixture and pushes them into the ice outlet 14.
[0026] In some embodiments, the depth of the ice storage cavity 4 is greater than the depth of the ice making cavity 3.
[0027] The specific ice-making principle of this application is as follows: Water is drawn from the water supply tank and transported to the water distribution pipe 2, which is then injected into each cavity of the ice-making bag 6. After the water is filled, the refrigerant is compressed into a high-pressure gas by the compressor, and then enters the evaporator tube 1 of the heat exchanger. In the evaporator tube 1, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the water, causing the water temperature to drop and gradually turn into ice. This is because the temperature of the refrigerant is lower than that of the ice, so heat is transferred from the water to the low-temperature refrigerant, thereby cooling the water and causing it to freeze. After freezing, the ice-making bag 6 rotates, triggering the second micro switch 12 to contact the protrusion 10, pouring the excess ice water in the ice-making bag 6 into the ice-making chamber 3. At the same time, heat is released and heated through the evaporator tube 1, causing the bullet ice block and the ice-making head 8 to melt. Then, the bullet ice block falls into the ice-making chamber 3 due to gravity. The first stepper motor 9 rotates the shaft 5 back to the position of the first micro switch 11, driving the ice blade 7 to push the bullet ice block and ice water to quickly separate into the ice storage chamber.
[0028] This application uses multiple separately configured ice-making baskets 6 for ice making. The ice-making baskets 6 are replenished with water through the water distribution pipe 2. Each ice-making head 8 corresponds to a single ice-making basket 6 for condensation, which speeds up the ice-making time and saves energy.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
