Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ice maker technology, and in particular relates to an ice maker structure. Background Technology

[0002] Because the existing ice-making structure is sealed internally, it is impossible to disassemble the machine for cleaning without professional tools. During the ice-making process, minerals in the water will settle inside the machine, and over time, scale and other harmful substances will be produced in the ice-making cavity. Therefore, the current method of cleaning ice makers is to purchase ice maker cleaning agents and use a water pump to circulate the water, which is difficult to clean thoroughly and affects the user experience.

[0003] For example, the ice-making system components described in the patent for ice-making equipment used to manufacture ice of different shapes (publication number: KR1020120076327A) are not detachable, and the water circuit uses a water pump to draw water to the top container of the product for ice making. This also makes it difficult to clean and affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide an ice maker structure.

[0005] This utility model embodiment adopts an ice maker structure, including a casing, a refrigeration system installed inside the casing, an evaporator installed in the refrigeration system, a support portion on the top of the casing supporting a replaceable component, a cavity within the casing located below the support portion with its top aligned with the support portion, the evaporator mounted on the top of the cavity, a water storage box cooperating with the evaporator installed inside the cavity, a first motor mounted on the top of the water storage box and fixed to the top of the cavity sidewall, the first motor driving the water storage box to move around the motor axis, moving the water storage box closer to or away from the evaporator, a protrusion on the side of the casing away from the first motor, an ice outlet channel connected to the cavity. This technical solution uses a support portion to support the replaceable component, allowing for easy disassembly of the replaceable component and convenient cleaning of the cavity and evaporator. This ice-making structure is not only simple in structure and highly efficient in manufacturing, but also more economical. It is also easy for users to clean and operate.

[0006] Furthermore, an ice-discharging assembly is provided inside the cavity. The ice-discharging assembly is fixed to the bottom of the cavity near the protrusion. The top surface of the ice-discharging assembly is an arc surface parallel to the first motor shaft. When the ice-discharging assembly is fixed to the bottom of the cavity, the center of the arc surface coincides with the first motor shaft. One end of the top of the ice-discharging assembly extends to the ice-discharging channel of the cavity, and the other end of the top of the ice-discharging assembly extends to the bottom surface of the cavity below the first motor.

[0007] The top of the water storage box, away from the first motor, has a protrusion with a groove inside. One side of the groove connects to the water storage box. The outer wall of the water storage box, away from the first motor, has an arc that matches the top surface of the ice dispensing assembly. The protrusion, in conjunction with the ice dispensing assembly, pushes the ice block into the ice dispensing channel for discharge. When the water storage box moves away from the evaporator, the outer wall of the water storage box, away from the first motor, moves along the top surface of the ice dispensing assembly. Once the ice block detaches from the evaporator and falls onto the top surface of the ice dispensing assembly, the water storage box moves closer to the evaporator. The protrusion then pushes the ice block along the top surface of the ice dispensing assembly, causing the ice block to move into the ice dispensing channel for discharge.

[0008] Furthermore, the replaceable component includes a support component that mates with the support portion. A sealed water tank and a water supply pipe are fixed to the top of the support component. The water supply pipe communicates with the sealed water tank, and one end of the water supply pipe extends below the bottom of the support component away from the sealed water tank. A valve is installed on the water supply pipe. A specific form of replaceable component is provided, which has a sealed water tank capable of supplying water stored in the sealed water tank to a water storage box.

[0009] Furthermore, the water supply pipe is vertically installed and passes through the supporting component. The bottom of the sealed water tank has an internally threaded opening, and the top of the outer wall of the water supply pipe has a thread that mates with the internally threaded opening. The sealed water tank and the water supply pipe are detachably installed, facilitating cleaning and filling.

[0010] Furthermore, the valve includes a push rod, which is coaxially placed inside the water supply pipe. The top end of the push rod extends above the top of the water supply pipe, and a sealing element for blocking the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the top end of the push rod. A spring is sleeved on the push rod, and both ends of the spring are fixed to the inner wall of the push rod and the water supply pipe, respectively. The spring applies a force to the push rod pointing towards the bottom of the water supply pipe, so that the sealing element blocks the water supply pipe. A push rod that cooperates with the push rod is installed inside the water storage box. The push rod is used to lift the push rod, causing the sealing element to move upward so as not to block the water supply pipe. This provides a specific valve type.

[0011] Furthermore, the replaceable component includes a support component that mates with the support portion. The support component is a cooling component and is constructed in a disc shape. A specific form of replaceable component is provided, which can accommodate items. When the support component is installed on the support portion, the support component can be close to or in contact with the evaporator, thereby enabling the cooling or chilling of the items contained on the support component.

[0012] Furthermore, the ice discharge channel is constructed within the protrusion as a three-way tube with a vertical pipe and an inclined pipe. The vertical pipe runs vertically through the protrusion, while the inclined pipe is angled and its two ends connect to the vertical pipe and the cavity, respectively. The end of the inclined pipe connecting to the vertical pipe is the lower end. This three-way tube-shaped ice discharge channel facilitates cleaning operations, allowing cleaning tools to be inserted from multiple openings for cleaning.

[0013] Furthermore, the replaceable component includes a cooling pipe with spiral conveying blades installed inside. A second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the cooling pipe, driving the spiral conveying blades. The cooling pipe has an inlet and an outlet, with the outlet connected to the top of the vertical pipe. A specific type of replaceable component is provided, capable of producing smoothies. When installed on a support, the cooling pipe can be close to or in contact with the evaporator to cool or freeze the fluid passing through it. The cooled or frozen material is then discharged as the spiral conveying blades move.

[0014] Furthermore, a functional component is installed inside the vertical tube. This functional component can be one or more of a filter screen and a heating element, and it is located above the lower end of the inclined tube. The filter screen and heating element enable the brewing of beverages such as milk tea, and the filter screen and heating element, in conjunction with ice cubes discharged from the cavity, allow for the addition of ice to the beverage.

[0015] Furthermore, a crushing paddle is installed inside the ice outlet channel, and a third motor is installed inside the protrusion. The third motor drives the crushing paddle to rotate. The crushing paddle breaks up the ice blocks passing through the ice outlet channel to make shaved ice.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this technical solution uses a support section to support replaceable parts, which allows for easy disassembly of replaceable parts and convenient cleaning of components such as the cavity and evaporator. This ice-making structure is not only simple in structure and highly efficient in manufacturing, but also more economical, easy for users to clean, and simple and convenient to operate.

[0017] Different functions can be achieved through different types of replaceable parts, which has the advantage of strong scalability.
