Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ice makers, specifically to an ice maker with high ice-making efficiency. 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.

[0003] After the ice maker finishes making ice, it needs to push the ice from the ice-making chamber to the ice outlet through an ice-pushing mechanism. The ice-pushing mechanism is driven by a motor. The ice moves towards the ice outlet under the action of the ice-pushing component. As the ice approaches the ice outlet, it tends to pile up, causing the ice-pushing component to get stuck and unable to push the ice towards the ice outlet normally, thus affecting the ice dispensing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] See Figures 1-5 The ice maker with high ice-making efficiency includes an ice maker body 4 and a refrigerator body 1. The ice maker body 4 has an installation cavity on its inner side, and the upper side of the installation cavity is open. The refrigerator body 1 is inserted into the installation cavity through the upper opening of the installation cavity and is installed and connected to the ice maker body 4. The refrigerator body 1 can be pre-assembled and then installed and fixed to the ice maker body 4 in a modular manner, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0025] The refrigerator body 1 has an ice outlet 11. A support frame body 3 is connected above the ice outlet 11. The inner side of the refrigerator body 1 has an ice pushing cavity 12. A baffle plate 32 is provided on the side of the support frame body 3 facing the ice pushing cavity 12. The baffle plate 32 extends towards the ice pushing cavity 12. The vertical projection of the baffle plate 32 is adjacent to the ice outlet 11. The baffle plate 32 can prevent ice blocks from accumulating upwards near the ice outlet 11, thereby reducing the chance of ice blocks falling back into the ice pushing cavity 12 due to accumulation and improving the overall ice dispensing efficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, a drive motor 2 is installed and connected on the side of the support frame body 3 facing away from the ice-pushing cavity 12. The rotating shaft of the drive motor 2 extends into the ice-pushing cavity 12. The support frame body 3 and the drive motor 2 can form a modular structure that can be installed as a whole with the refrigerator body 1, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0027] The lower side of the baffle plate 32 is arc-shaped and forms a radial gap with the rotating shaft of the drive motor 2, so that the gap between the lower side of the baffle plate 32 and the rotating shaft of the drive motor 2 is consistent, which has a better guiding effect on the ice.

[0028] Furthermore, the baffle plate 32 is integrally formed with the support frame body 3, so the baffle plate 32 does not need to be installed separately, thus improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the support frame body 3 includes a motor mounting part 31. The outer side of the motor mounting part 31 is provided with a mounting slope. The front side of the drive motor 2 abuts against the mounting slope and the rotating shaft of the drive motor 2 is inclined towards the lower side of the ice pushing cavity 12, which can better utilize the vertical space of the ice pushing cavity 12 and relatively increase the overall ice production capacity.

[0030] Furthermore, the motor mounting part 31 is provided with a motor mounting screw hole 311 and a motor positioning post 312 adjacent to the motor mounting screw hole 311. The drive motor 2 is provided with a motor screw hole 21 and a motor positioning hole 22 corresponding to the motor mounting screw hole 311 and the motor positioning post 312, respectively. The motor mounting screw hole 311 and the motor screw hole 21 are fixed by a screw device. The motor positioning post 312 and the motor positioning hole 22 are interlocked and engaged with each other, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the drive motor 2 and the motor mounting part 31 and the stability of the installation structure.

[0031] Furthermore, a motor support 33 is provided on the lower side of the motor mounting part 31, and the side wall of the drive motor 2 abuts against the motor support 33, further improving the stability of the connection between the drive motor 2 and the support frame body 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the motor support 33 is provided with a positioning recess 331 that corresponds to the shape of the side wall of the drive motor 2. At least part of the side wall of the drive motor 2 is fitted into the positioning recess 331, which further improves the installation accuracy of the drive motor 2 and reduces the chance of accidental displacement of the drive motor 2 during operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the support frame body 3 is continuously bent along its length to form a motor support part 33, a motor mounting part 31, an extension part 34 and a connecting part 35 in sequence, which can improve the structural strength of the support frame body 3.

[0034] The connecting part 35 is installed and fixed to the front side of the refrigerator body 1. The motor mounting part 31 and the connecting part 35 are spaced in the horizontal direction through the extension part 34, so that the support frame body 3 as a whole has a bending effect, thereby improving its structural strength.

[0035] Furthermore, the outer side of the support frame body 3 is provided with a side protrusion 36, which passes through the motor support part 33, the motor mounting part 31, the extension part 34 and the connecting part 35 in sequence. The side protrusion 36 is at least partially connected and cooperated with the refrigerator body 1. The side protrusion 36 can improve the structural strength of the support frame body 3.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and other implementations are also possible. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and all such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope set forth in the claims of this application.
