Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ice-making technology, and in particular to an ice-water separation box and an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that cools water through an evaporator using a refrigerant in a refrigeration system to produce ice. It is widely used in various settings such as restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, hospitals, schools, laboratories, and research institutes.

[0003] Currently, ice makers typically use an ice discharge chute to connect the ice outlet of the ice maker and the ice inlet of the ice storage box. To achieve ice-water separation, a cold water tank connected to the ice discharge chute is installed below it. This ensures that the water falling with the ice from the ice discharge chute flows into the cold water tank, while the ice falls into the ice storage box, thus achieving ice-water separation. However, since the cold water tank is a water storage structure used to supply water to the ice maker, it is usually quite large. The assembly structure of placing the cold water tank directly below the ice discharge chute is not compact enough and occupies a lot of space, resulting in a large overall size of the ice maker. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an ice-water separation box and an ice maker to solve the problem of the large overall size of ice makers in related technologies. The technical solution is as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an ice-water separation box, comprising:

[0006] The substrate has an ice outlet groove, a drain hole, and a water guiding cavity. The ice outlet groove is used to connect the ice outlet of the ice maker and the ice inlet of the ice storage box.

[0007] The drain hole is located on the bottom wall of the ice discharge chute. The drain hole connects the ice discharge chute and the water guiding cavity. The drain hole is used to guide the water in the ice discharge chute to the water guiding cavity and to prevent the ice blocks in the ice discharge chute from falling into the water guiding cavity.

[0008] The water guiding cavity is located below the ice outlet chute, and the water guiding cavity is used to communicate with the cold water tank of the ice maker.

[0009] In one embodiment, the substrate further has a water outlet that connects the water guiding cavity and the cold water tank of the ice maker.

[0010] The water guiding cavity is provided with a first guiding part, which is used to guide the water flowing out of the drain hole to the water outlet hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first guide portion includes a first guide section and a second guide section, which are arranged sequentially along the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge chute. The height of the first guide section is higher than that of the second guide section. Both the first guide section and the second guide section are arranged obliquely downward toward the water outlet, and the water outlet is located between the first guide section and the second guide section.

[0012] In one embodiment, the ice inlet of the ice outlet chute is connected to the ice outlet of the ice maker;

[0013] The bottom wall of the ice discharge chute is provided with a drainage section and a non-porous section. The drainage section and the non-porous section are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the ice discharge chute. The width direction of the ice discharge chute is parallel to or inclined to the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge chute. The drainage hole is provided in the drainage section.

[0014] The substrate is also provided with a baffle, which is located on the side near the ice inlet of the ice outlet chute. The baffle and the non-perforated part are arranged sequentially along the ice outlet direction of the ice outlet chute. The first side of the baffle is connected to the first sidewall in the width direction of the ice outlet chute, and the second side of the baffle forms an outlet with the second sidewall in the width direction of the ice outlet chute. The outlet and the drain part are arranged sequentially along the ice outlet direction of the ice outlet chute. The outlet allows the ice and water output from the ice inlet of the ice outlet chute to flow to the drain part.

[0015] In one embodiment, the baffle is provided with a second guide portion at one end near the ice inlet of the ice outlet chute. The second guide portion is inclined toward the outlet and is used to guide the ice and water output from the ice inlet of the ice outlet chute to the drain portion.

[0016] In one embodiment, the substrate is further provided with a third guide portion, which is arranged around the ice inlet of the ice outlet chute and is arranged obliquely downward toward the ice outlet.

[0017] In one embodiment, the ice discharge chute is positioned obliquely downward toward the ice storage box.

[0018] In one embodiment, the substrate includes:

[0019] A main housing having the water guiding cavity and a positioning groove, the positioning groove being located above the water guiding cavity and communicating with the top opening of the water guiding cavity; and

[0020] The slide plate is disposed in the positioning groove, and the slide plate and the main housing form the ice discharge groove. The slide plate has the drainage hole, and the slide plate and the main housing are separately configured.

[0021] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the skateboard is provided with a mounting portion, and the mounting portion has a threaded hole;

[0022] The bottom wall of the positioning groove has a mounting hole, which is adapted to the mounting part, and the bottom wall of the mounting hole has a connecting hole;

[0023] The base also includes a fastener, the head of which abuts against the bottom of the base, the shank of which passes through the connecting hole and is screwed to the threaded hole.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an ice maker, including the aforementioned ice-water separation box.

[0025] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:

[0026] This invention relates to an ice-water separation box. A water guiding cavity is located below the ice outlet chute. Drainage holes on the bottom wall of the ice outlet chute connect to the water guiding cavity. The drainage holes direct water flow into the water guiding cavity, thus transporting the ice to the ice storage box. This effectively separates the ice and water passing through the ice outlet chute, preventing water from entering the ice storage box along with the ice, or reducing the amount of water entering the ice storage box. This effectively slows down the melting rate of the ice in the ice storage box. The water guiding cavity connects to the cold water tank of the ice maker, directing the water flowing from the drainage holes to the cold water tank. In other words, the water guiding cavity acts as a guide... The ice-water separation box separates the ice and water components. The guide cavity only needs to guide the water, so its volume can be made relatively small. This makes the overall structure of the ice-water separation box more compact and occupies less space. At the same time, the ice-water separation box is connected to the cold water tank through the guide cavity, so it is not limited to being placed directly above the cold water tank. It is convenient to install the ice-water separation box in other suitable locations inside the ice maker, thereby improving the internal space utilization of the ice maker and making the overall structure of the ice maker more compact and smaller in size.

[0037] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0038] See Figures 1-6 This illustration shows a preferred embodiment of an ice-water separation box for connection to an ice maker, comprising:

[0039] The base 1 has an ice outlet groove 14, a drain hole 121 and a water guiding cavity 111. The ice outlet groove 14 is used to connect the ice outlet of the ice maker and the ice inlet of the ice storage box.

[0040] The drain hole 121 is provided on the bottom wall of the ice discharge chute 14. The drain hole 121 connects the ice discharge chute 14 and the water guiding cavity 111. The drain hole 121 is used to guide the water in the ice discharge chute 14 to the water guiding cavity 111 and to prevent the ice blocks in the ice discharge chute 14 from falling into the water guiding cavity 111.

[0041] The water guiding cavity 111 is located below the ice discharge chute 14. The water guiding cavity 111 is connected to the cold water tank of the ice maker. The water guiding cavity 111 is used to guide the water flowing down from the drain hole 121 to the cold water tank.

[0042] This invention relates to an ice-water separation box. A water guiding cavity 111 is provided below the ice outlet chute 14. A drain hole 121 on the bottom wall of the ice outlet chute 14 connects to the water guiding cavity 111. Under the action of the drain hole 121, water flows into the water guiding cavity 111, thereby transporting ice blocks to the ice storage box. This effectively separates the ice blocks and water passing through the ice outlet chute 14, preventing water from entering the ice storage box along with the ice blocks, or reducing the amount of water entering the ice storage box. This effectively slows down the melting rate of the ice blocks in the ice storage box. The water guiding cavity 111 connects to the cold water tank of the ice maker, guiding the water flowing out of the drain hole 121 to the cold water tank. The water tank, also known as the water guiding cavity 111, serves to guide water, while the cold water tank serves to store water, thus separating the water guiding and water storage functions. Since the guiding cavity only needs to guide water, the volume of the water guiding cavity 111 can be made relatively small, making the overall structure of the ice-water separation box more compact and taking up less space. At the same time, by connecting the water guiding cavity 111 to the cold water tank, the ice-water separation box is not limited to being positioned directly above the cold water tank, making it convenient to install the ice-water separation box in other suitable locations within the ice maker. This improves the internal space utilization of the ice maker, making the overall structure of the ice maker more compact and smaller in size.

[0043] See Figures 3-5 In one embodiment, the substrate 1 also has a water outlet 113, which connects the water guiding cavity 111 and the cold water tank of the ice maker.

[0044] The water guiding cavity 111 is provided with a first guide part 112, which is used to guide the water flowing out of the drain hole 121 to the water outlet hole 113, thereby playing a guiding role and realizing the rapid guidance of the water flowing out of the drain hole 121 to the water outlet hole 113, making the water flow smoother and more efficient.

[0045] See Figure 3 and Figure 5In one embodiment, the first guide section 112 includes a first guide segment 1121 and a second guide segment 1122. The first guide segment 1121 and the second guide segment 1122 are arranged sequentially along the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge chute 14, that is, the first guide segment 1121 and the second guide segment 1122 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the ice discharge chute 14. The height of the first guide segment 1121 is higher than the height of the second guide segment 1122. Both the first guide segment 1121 and the second guide segment 1122 are arranged obliquely downward toward the water outlet 113. The water outlet 113 is located on the first guide segment 1121. Between 21 and the second guide section 1122, the water flowing out of the drain hole 121 can be guided to the outlet hole 113 by the first guide section 1121 and the second guide section 1122, making the water flow smoother and more efficient. At the same time, since the height of the first guide section 1121 is higher than the height of the second guide section 1122, the bottom wall of the base 1 located below the first guide section 1121 can be set higher than the bottom wall of the base 1 located below the second guide section 1122, thereby reducing the volume of the base 1, making the overall structure of the ice-water separation box more compact, occupying less space, and more convenient to install.

[0046] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the ice inlet 141 of the ice discharge chute is connected to the ice outlet of the ice maker, and the ice outlet 142 of the ice discharge chute is connected to the ice inlet of the ice storage box.

[0047] The bottom wall of the ice discharge chute 14 is provided with a draining part 122 and a non-porous part 123. The draining part 122 and the non-porous part 123 are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the ice discharge chute 14. The width direction of the ice discharge chute 14 is parallel to or inclined to the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge chute 14. The draining hole 121 is provided in the draining part 122.

[0048] The base 1 is also provided with a baffle 115, which is located on the side near the ice inlet 141 of the ice outlet chute. The baffle 115 and the non-perforated part 123 are arranged in sequence along the ice outlet direction of the ice outlet chute 14. The first side of the baffle 115 is connected to the first side wall in the width direction of the ice outlet chute 14, and the second side of the baffle 115 forms an outlet 116 with the second side wall in the width direction of the ice outlet chute 14. The outlet 116 and the drain part 122 are arranged in sequence along the ice outlet direction of the ice outlet chute 14. The outlet 116 supplies the ice and water output from the ice inlet 141 of the ice outlet chute to the drain part 122. Thus, when the ice maker outputs ice cubes, the ice cubes and water pass through the ice inlet 141 of the ice outlet chute. Under the obstruction of the baffle 115, the ice cubes and water can only flow through the outlet 116 to the drain section 122, ensuring that the ice cubes and water are filtered through the drain holes 121 to achieve ice-water separation. At the same time as achieving ice-water separation, the ice cubes slide towards the non-porous section 123 under the mutual squeezing action between the ice cubes. Since the non-porous section 123 has no drain holes 121, the ice cubes can slide smoothly. As the ice cubes slide along the non-porous section 123, they also drive the ice cubes on the drain section 122 to slide, ensuring that the ice cubes can slide smoothly along the ice outlet chute 14 to the ice storage box without clogging, thus improving ice output efficiency.

[0049] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the number of drainage holes 121 is multiple sets, and the multiple sets of drainage holes 121 are arranged at intervals along the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge groove 14, and the length direction of the drainage holes 121 extends along the width direction of the ice discharge groove 14, so as to ensure that ice and water can be separated while effectively preventing ice from getting stuck in the drainage part 122.

[0050] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, in two adjacent sets of drainage holes 121, one set has one drainage hole 121 and the other set has at least two drainage holes 121. The at least two drainage holes 121 are spaced apart along the width direction of the ice discharge groove 14. In this way, it is ensured that ice and water can be separated, and ice can be effectively prevented from getting stuck in the drainage section 122.

[0051] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the substrate 1 also has a water collection port 15, which is connected to the water guiding cavity 111. The water collection port 15 is located on the bottom wall of the drain section 122 and on the side of the drain section 122 near the second side wall of the ice discharge chute 14, so as to quickly guide the water flowing out of the outlet 116 to the water collection cavity by means of the water collection port 15, thereby reducing the amount of water flowing to the ice storage box along the ice discharge chute 14.

[0052] See Figure 4In one embodiment, the base 1 is further provided with a water-blocking structure 16, which is arranged around the water inlet 15. The water-blocking structure 16 and the second side wall of the ice outlet chute 14 form an opening, which is located between the outlet 116 and the water inlet 15. The opening allows the water discharged from the outlet 116 to flow into the water inlet 15. The water-blocking structure 16 is used to restrict the water flowing from the outlet 116 to the ice storage box, so as to reduce the amount of water flowing to the ice storage box along the ice outlet chute 14.

[0053] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, a second guide portion 1151 is provided at one end of the baffle 115 near the ice inlet 141 of the ice discharge chute. The second guide portion 1151 is inclined toward the outlet 116 and is used to guide the ice and water output from the ice inlet 141 of the ice discharge chute to the drain portion 122, so that the ice discharge is smoother.

[0054] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the base 1 is further provided with a third guide portion 117. The third guide portion 117 is arranged around the ice inlet 141 of the ice outlet chute. The third guide portion 117 is arranged obliquely downward toward the ice outlet to guide ice and water to the ice outlet and prevent ice and water from accumulating near the ice inlet 141 of the ice outlet chute.

[0055] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the ice dispensing chute 14 is angled downward toward the ice storage box to quickly guide the ice blocks to the ice storage box, making the ice dispensing smoother and more efficient.

[0056] See Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the substrate 1 includes:

[0057] The main housing 11 has a water guiding cavity 111 and a positioning groove 118. The positioning groove 118 is located above the water guiding cavity 111 and communicates with the top opening of the water guiding cavity 111.

[0058] The slide plate 12 is located within the positioning groove 118. The slide plate 12 and the main housing 11 form an ice-discharging groove 14. The slide plate 12 has drainage holes 121. The slide plate 12 and the main housing 11 are separately configured. By configuring the slide plate 12 and the main housing 11 separately, the slide plate 12 and the main housing 11 can be processed separately and then assembled to form the base 1, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the base 1. At the same time, since the main housing 11 has a positioning groove 118, and the slide plate 12 is located within the positioning groove 118, the positioning groove 118 can be used to position the slide plate 12 during installation, making the installation of the slide plate 12 more convenient and efficient.

[0059] See Figures 4-6In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the slide plate 12 is provided with a mounting portion 124, and the mounting portion 124 has a threaded hole 1241;

[0060] The bottom wall of the positioning groove 118 has a mounting hole 119, which is adapted to the mounting part 124 to improve the connection stability of the slide plate 12 and the main housing 11. The bottom wall of the mounting hole 119 has a connection hole 1110.

[0061] The base 1 also includes a fastener, the head of which abuts against the bottom of the base 1, the shank of which passes through a connecting hole 1110 and is screwed into a threaded hole 1241 to reliably fix the slide plate 12 and the main housing 11 together.

[0062] In one embodiment, the substrate 1 further includes:

[0063] The cover plate 13 is placed on the main housing 11. The cover plate 13 has an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the top opening of the ice discharge chute 14 is open, and in the closed state, the top opening of the ice discharge chute 14 is closed, so as to seal the top opening of the ice discharge chute 14.

[0064] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the water-blocking structure 16 includes:

[0065] A first water-blocking part 161 is disposed on the main housing 11, and a first end of the first water-blocking part 161 is connected to the second side wall of the ice slide 14, and a second end of the first water-blocking part 161 extends toward the first side wall of the ice slide 14; and

[0066] The second water-blocking part 162 is provided on the slide plate 12. The second water-blocking part 162 extends along the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge groove 14 and abuts against the second end of the first water-blocking part 161.

[0067] A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an ice maker, including the ice-water separation box described above.

[0068] The ice maker of this invention, employing the aforementioned ice-water separation box, also features a water guiding cavity 111 located below the ice outlet chute 14. Drainage holes 121 on the bottom wall of the ice outlet chute 14 connect to the water guiding cavity 111. Under the influence of the drainage holes 121, water flows into the water guiding cavity 111, thereby transporting the ice to the ice storage box. This effectively separates the ice and water passing through the ice outlet chute 14, preventing water from entering the ice storage box along with the ice, or reducing the amount of water entering the ice storage box. This effectively slows down the melting rate of the ice in the ice storage box. The water guiding cavity 111 connects to the cold water tank of the ice maker, and the water guiding cavity 111 can guide the drainage holes 121... The outflowing water is guided to the cold water tank, i.e., the water guiding cavity 111 serves to guide the water, while the cold water tank serves to store the water, thus separating the water guiding and the water storage. Since the guiding cavity only needs to guide the water, the volume of the water guiding cavity 111 can be made relatively small, so the overall structure of the ice-water separation box can be more compact and occupy less space. At the same time, by connecting the water guiding cavity 111 to the cold water tank, the ice-water separation box is not limited to being placed directly above the cold water tank, making it convenient to install the ice-water separation box in other suitable locations inside the ice maker, thereby improving the internal space utilization of the ice maker and making the overall structure of the ice maker more compact and smaller in size.
