Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice-making device technology, specifically a high-efficiency ice-making device. Background Technology

[0002] An ice-making device 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 homes, restaurants, bars, hospitals, laboratories, and industrial production. In existing ice-making devices, water is transferred from a water tank to an ice-making chamber. The refrigeration components then rapidly cool the liquid water in the chamber to form ice cubes. However, during this process, the side of the water tank closest to the ice-making chamber is prone to partial or complete ice blockage due to the low temperature inside the chamber. When the ice-making chamber needs to continuously produce ice, this blockage affects the transfer of water from the water tank to the chamber, thus impacting the device's efficiency and causing users to wait a considerable amount of time for sufficient ice.

[0003] Therefore, the water inlet structure of the ice-making device needs to be improved to increase ice-making efficiency and enhance the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 11The illustrated high-efficiency ice-making device includes a housing 1, which has an ice-making mechanism 2. The ice-making mechanism 2 includes a water tank 3 and an ice-making section 4 connected to the water tank 3. The ice-making section 4 has an ice-making cavity 5. The water tank 3 has an inner cavity 6 and a heat-conducting component 7 extending from the inner cavity 6 into the ice-making cavity 5. The heat-conducting component 7 has a water inlet cavity 71 connecting the ice-making cavity 5 and the inner cavity 6, and a heat-conducting end 72 for preventing the water inlet cavity 71 from freezing and becoming blocked. Traditional ice-making devices are often prone to interruption of the ice-making process due to ice blockage in the water inlet channel, requiring waiting for the channel to thaw or manual intervention to clean before ice-making can continue, resulting in prolonged ice-making time and low efficiency. This invention effectively transfers the low-temperature heat from the ice-making chamber to the water inside the water tank through the inner side of the water inlet chamber by setting a heat-conducting end, or by using external heat transfer to make the temperature outside the water inlet chamber higher than the temperature inside. By keeping the temperature of the heat-conducting end and the water inlet chamber above the freezing point, the water inlet chamber is prevented from freezing and clogging during the ice-making process, ensuring that water can be continuously and smoothly transferred from the water tank to the ice-making chamber, thus greatly improving the ice-making efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, the shell serves to protect the internal ice-making mechanism and other components. The water tank stores the liquid water required for ice making, ensuring a water source for ice production. The ice-making section is the area where water is converted into ice, and the liquid water is condensed into solid ice through its internal ice-making chamber. During the ice-making process, the ice-making chamber is at a low temperature, which normally makes the connected water inlet chamber prone to freezing. The heat-conducting end conducts an appropriate amount of heat to the water inlet chamber, ensuring that the water temperature in the water inlet chamber remains above the freezing point. Even if the temperature of the ice-making chamber is very low, it ensures that water can smoothly pass through the water inlet chamber into the ice-making chamber for ice making, avoiding the problem of reduced ice-making efficiency due to ice blockage.

[0031] Optionally, in some embodiments, the heat-conducting end can be used to balance the temperature difference between the ice-making chamber and the water inlet chamber by transferring heat through the inside of the water inlet chamber. Through the setting of the heat-conducting end, the low temperature of the ice-making chamber is transferred from the water inlet chamber to the inner cavity of the water tank.

[0032] Optionally, in some embodiments, the heat-conducting end can transfer heat from the outside of the water inlet cavity to the inside. By setting the heat-conducting end, the external environment or energy can be transferred from the outside of the water inlet cavity to the inside of the water inlet cavity, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the water inlet cavity is higher than the temperature of the ice-making cavity.

[0033] Optionally, in some embodiments, on the one hand, the heat-conducting end can be used to balance the temperature difference between the ice-making cavity and the water inlet cavity by transferring heat through the inside of the water inlet cavity. With the setting of the heat-conducting end, the low temperature of the ice-making cavity is transferred from the water inlet cavity to the inner cavity of the water tank. On the other hand, the heat-conducting end can be used to transfer heat from the outside of the water inlet cavity to the inside. With the setting of the heat-conducting end, the external environment or energy can be transferred from the outside of the water inlet cavity to the inside of the water inlet cavity, thereby ensuring that the temperature inside the water inlet cavity is higher than the temperature of the ice-making cavity.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 11 The high-efficiency ice-making device shown includes a heat-conducting end 72 comprising a heat-conducting element 8, which extends from the inner cavity 6 of the water tank into the water inlet cavity 71.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, the heat-conducting component can effectively transfer heat from the inner cavity of the water tank to the water inlet cavity. Through direct heat transfer, it can balance the temperature difference between the two ends of the water inlet cavity. During the ice-making process, when the temperature of the ice-making cavity decreases, the heat-conducting component can prevent the water inlet cavity from freezing due to excessively low temperature. The efficient heat conduction ensures that the water in the water inlet cavity is always kept within a suitable temperature range, thereby avoiding the problem of freezing and blockage. By preventing the water inlet cavity from freezing and blocking, the heat-conducting component helps reduce equipment failures and downtime caused by freezing, helps extend the service life of the ice-making device, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 10 The high-efficiency ice-making device shown includes a heat-conducting end 72 comprising a connector 9 communicating with the water inlet chamber 71. One end of the connector 9 is provided with a first opening 91 near the ice-making chamber 5 and the other end is provided with a second opening 92 communicating with the water inlet chamber 71. The diameter of the first opening 91 is smaller than the diameter of the second opening 92. The connector 9 extends into the ice-making chamber 5.

[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, since the diameter of the first opening is smaller than the diameter of the second opening, the larger diameter of the second opening allows more water to flow smoothly into the connector, while the smaller diameter of the first opening helps to control the water flow speed and flow rate, playing a certain guiding and buffering role. The variable diameter structure prolongs the contact path and time between the low-temperature and high-temperature media, promoting heat transfer. The connector extends into the ice-making chamber, and the smaller diameter of the first opening makes the temperature of the ice-making chamber transfer to the water inlet chamber more slowly through the first opening, while the temperature of the water tank cavity transfers to the water inlet chamber more quickly through the second opening.

[0038] like Figure 10 and Figure 11The present invention discloses a high-efficiency ice-making device, wherein the water inlet chamber 71 is provided with a limiting part 711 for limiting the heat-conducting component 8, and the limiting part 711 is provided in multiple parts and arranged along the axial direction of the water inlet chamber 71, and the heat-conducting component 8 is made of metal.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, the limiting part ensures the stable position of the heat-conducting component within the water inlet cavity. Since the heat-conducting component needs to partially extend into the ice-making cavity for heat conduction, the limiting part provides physical support and restriction to prevent displacement of the heat-conducting component due to water flow impact or temperature changes during ice making, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the ice-making process. When installing the heat-conducting component, the operator can accurately place it within the water inlet cavity based on the position of the limiting part, ensuring it is in the optimal working position.

[0040] Specifically, the heat-conducting component is made of metal, which has excellent thermal conductivity. This component effectively transfers heat from the water tank's interior to the ice-making chamber, accelerating the cooling and freezing process. Simultaneously, the limiting mechanism helps ensure tight contact between the heat-conducting component and the water inlet chamber, further improving heat transfer efficiency.

[0041] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the heat-conducting element is made of stainless steel.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, the heat-conducting element is made of copper.

[0043] Optionally, in some embodiments, a gap is left between two adjacent limiting portions to allow water to pass through, so that water can better contact the surface of the heat-conducting element.

[0044] like Figure 10 The high-efficiency ice-making device shown has a connecting member 9 with a limiting end 93 extending toward one side of the heat-conducting member 8, and the limiting end 93 has a limiting surface 931 that limits the heat-conducting member 8.

[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, during assembly, the heat-conducting component can be easily aligned with the limiting surface and fixed in a predetermined position. This not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures precise fit between the heat-conducting component and the connecting component, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the entire ice-making device. The limiting end restricts the maximum insertion depth of the heat-conducting component, preventing it from entering the ice-making chamber too deeply and causing the water inlet temperature to be too low, thus affecting the heat conduction and ice-making effects.

[0046] In addition, the limiting surface also provides a certain degree of protection. During the ice-making process, the impact of the water flow can cause the heat-conducting component to collide with the connecting parts, resulting in wear or damage. By limiting the range of motion of the heat-conducting component, the limiting surface can reduce the impact of such impacts on the heat-conducting component, thereby extending its service life.

[0047] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the connector is made of plastic.

[0048] like Figure 6 The illustrated high-efficiency ice-making device includes an ice-making section 4 with a connecting cavity 40 that accommodates the connector 9 and communicates with the ice-making chamber 5. A water tank 3 has an extension 31 that extends into the connecting cavity 40. A limiting part 711 is located inside the extension 31. The extension 31 communicates with the inner cavity 6 of the water tank. One end of the extension 31 abuts against the connector 9. A sealing member 311 is provided between the outer side of the extension 31 and the inner side of the connecting cavity 40. The connector 9 has a limiting boss 94 that abuts against the inner wall of the connecting cavity 40.

[0049] Of course, in some embodiments, the connecting cavity may extend into the extension, and the seal may be located between the outside of the connecting cavity and the inside of the extension.

[0050] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, the connecting cavity of the ice-making unit can accommodate the connecting member, and the extension of the water tank extends into the connecting cavity and abuts against the connecting member, making the connection between the components tight, effectively reducing the space occupied by the entire ice-making device and improving the compactness of the structure. At the same time, the mutual cooperation and abutment between the components enhance the stability of the overall structure, and during the operation of the ice-making device, it can better resist the influence of external forces such as vibration and water flow impact, reduce the possibility of component loosening or displacement, and ensure the continuous and stable operation of the ice-making process. By connecting the extension to the inner cavity of the water tank and setting a limiting part to restrict the position of the heat-conducting component, the heat-conducting component can more effectively transfer the heat of the inner cavity of the water tank to the ice-making cavity, which helps to improve ice-making efficiency and shorten the ice-making cycle.

[0051] Specifically, the contact between the limiting boss and the inner wall of the connecting cavity, as well as the contact between the extension and the connector, jointly enhance the stability of the water tank, the heat-conducting end, and the ice-making unit, helping to prevent loosening or displacement of components due to water flow impact, temperature changes, or mechanical vibration during ice making. The sealing element ensures tight contact between the extension and the connecting cavity, and between the extension and the connector, thereby preventing water leakage.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments, the water inlet cavity is partially or entirely located within the extension.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments, the water inlet cavity is partially or entirely located within the connecting cavity.

[0054] like Figures 3 to 8The illustrated high-efficiency ice-making device includes an ice-making section 4 comprising a first mold shell 41 near the water inlet cavity 71 and a second mold shell 42 connected to the first mold shell 41 and away from the water inlet cavity 71. The first mold shell 41 and the second mold shell 42 enclose the ice-making cavity 5. The heat-conducting end 72 includes a heating film 720 connected to the first mold shell 41 and / or the second mold shell 42.

[0055] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, the first mold shell and the second mold shell together form an ice-making cavity, providing a stable molding environment for the ice. The heating film, as a heat conduction medium, can effectively transfer heat from the water tank cavity or other heat sources to the ice-making cavity, and vice versa. It can also transfer heat from the water inlet cavity to the water tank cavity or the ice-making cavity. Because the heating film is directly connected to the first mold shell and / or the second mold shell, the heat transfer path is greatly shortened, and the heat conduction efficiency is significantly improved.

[0056] Optionally, the heating film is sheet-like and covers one and / or the other side of the ice-making cavity, allowing heat to be distributed more evenly on the surface of the ice-making cavity, avoiding uneven ice quality caused by localized excessively high or low temperatures. After ice making is complete, the heating film helps ensure that the parts of the ice block in contact with the ice-making cavity are preheated and melted after molding, facilitating the rapid removal of the ice block from the ice-making cavity when the first mold shell and / or the second mold shell are opened.

[0057] like Figures 3 to 8 The high-efficiency ice-making device shown includes a heating film 720 comprising a first heating film 721 located between the water tank 3 and the first mold shell 41, and a second heating film 722 located on the second mold shell 42. The first heating film 721 is disposed on the outside of the water inlet cavity 71.

[0058] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, the first heating film is located between the water tank and the first mold shell, effectively transferring heat from the water tank to the first mold shell. This heat then exchanges heat through the ice-making cavity enclosed by the first and second mold shells, allowing for a more direct and efficient transfer of heat to the ice-making cavity. The first heating film is positioned outside the water inlet cavity, reducing the risk of ice blockage in the water flow when heated. Simultaneously, the second heating film is located on the second mold shell, further transferring heat from the outside of the ice-making cavity to its interior.

[0059] like Figure 7 and Figure 8The high-efficiency ice-making device shown has a first mounting member 411 between the water tank 3 and the first mold shell 41. The first mounting member 411 has a mounting hole 4111 through which the extension 31 passes and a first mounting cavity 4112 for limiting the first heating film 721. The first heating film 721 has a heating film opening 7211 through which the extension 31 passes. The second mold shell 42 has a second mounting member 421 on the side away from the first mold shell 41. The second mounting member 421 has a second mounting cavity 4211 for limiting the second heating film 722.

[0060] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, the mounting holes provided on the first mounting member provide a precise passage for the extension of the water tank, enabling the extension to accurately reach the designated position and cooperate with the connecting members and other components. The first mounting cavity limits the first heat-conducting film, allowing the first heat-conducting film to stably perform its function of regulating temperature and preventing ice formation in the water inlet cavity between the water tank and the first mold shell. The second mounting member is provided with a second mounting cavity for limiting the second heating film. This allows the second heating film to be easily positioned and fixed in the predetermined position during installation without the need for additional fixing devices or complicated installation steps, greatly simplifying the installation process of the second heating film and reducing installation costs and time.

[0061] Specifically, through the limiting action of the first and second mounting components, the first and second heating films can be precisely installed in predetermined positions, helping to ensure close contact between the heating films and components such as the water tank and ice-making unit, thereby optimizing the heat conduction path and improving heat conduction efficiency. Simultaneously, the uniform distribution of the first and second heating films ensures temperature uniformity throughout the ice-making cavity, helping to avoid uneven ice quality caused by excessively high or low local temperatures.

[0062] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 The high-efficiency ice-making device shown has a first mold shell 41 with a first mold shell mounting cavity 412. The first mounting component 411 includes a connecting shell 4113 connected to the first mold shell mounting cavity 412 and a fixing shell 4114 located between the connecting shell 4113 and the water tank 3. The fixing shell 4114 has a first fixing end 41141 connected to the water tank 3 and a second fixing end 41142 connected to the first mold shell 41. The first mold shell mounting cavity 412 has a connecting cavity limiting end 4121 that limits the connecting shell 4113. The connecting cavity 40 is located inside the connecting cavity limiting end 4121.

[0063] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, the precise positioning and secure connection between the water tank and the first mold shell can be ensured by fixing the first and second fixed ends of the housing. This arrangement improves installation accuracy and avoids problems such as leakage and loosening caused by improper installation. At the same time, the connection between the connecting housing and the fixed housing also enhances the stability of the entire installation structure, enabling it to withstand various stresses and vibrations during the ice-making process.

[0064] Specifically, the connecting housing is located within the first mold housing mounting cavity and is limited by the connecting cavity limiting end, which helps ensure a tight contact between the first heating film and the first mold housing. This tight contact optimizes the heat conduction path, reduces thermal resistance, and thus improves heat conduction efficiency. The design of the first mounting component simplifies the installation process between the water tank, the first mold housing, and the first heating film. Users can also easily disassemble these components when maintenance or replacement is required, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost. The connecting cavity is located within the connecting cavity limiting end, allowing the extension to reach into the cavity limiting end and providing a seal through a sealing element.

[0065] Example 1

[0066] like Figures 1 to 11 The high-efficiency ice-making device shown includes a housing 1, an ice-making mechanism 2, a water tank 3, an ice-making section 4 connected to the water tank 3, and a heat-conducting component 7. The ice-making section 4 has an ice-making cavity 5, the water tank 3 has a water tank inner cavity 6, and the heat-conducting component 7 has a water inlet cavity 71 that connects the ice-making cavity 5 and the water tank inner cavity 6, and a heat-conducting end 72 for preventing the water inlet cavity 71 from freezing and becoming blocked.

[0067] The heat-conducting end 72 includes a heat-conducting element 8, which extends from the inner cavity 6 of the water tank into the water inlet cavity 71.

[0068] The water inlet cavity 71 is provided with a limiting part 711 that limits the heat-conducting component 8. The limiting part 711 is provided in multiple ways and is arranged along the axial direction of the water inlet cavity 71. The heat-conducting component 8 is made of metal.

[0069] The heat-conducting component 8 is made of stainless steel. A gap is left between two adjacent limiting parts 711 to allow water to pass through, so that water can come into contact with the surface of the heat-conducting component 8.

[0070] By incorporating a heat-conducting component 8, this invention can effectively transfer the low-temperature heat from the ice-making chamber 5 to the water in the inner cavity 6 of the water tank. By maintaining the temperature of the heat-conducting component 8 and the water inlet chamber 71 above the freezing point, the water inlet chamber 71 is prevented from freezing and becoming blocked during the ice-making process. This ensures that water can be continuously and smoothly transferred from the inner cavity 6 of the water tank to the ice-making chamber 5, greatly improving the ice-making efficiency.

The diameter of the first opening 91 is smaller than the diameter of the second opening 92. The connector 9 extends into the ice-making cavity 5.

[0075] The connector 9 has a limiting end 93 extending toward one side of the heat-conducting component 8, and the limiting end 93 has a limiting surface 931 that limits the heat-conducting component 8. The connector 9 is made of plastic.

The ice-making section 4 is equipped with an ice-making cavity 5, and the water tank 3 is equipped with a water tank inner cavity 6.
