Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water dispenser technology, and in particular to a novel water dispenser structure with controllable ice cube size. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the development of technology, water dispensers have been widely used in homes, offices, public places, and other locations. Existing water dispensers typically only provide three modes: room temperature water, hot water, and cold water. To meet users' needs for ice in summer or other occasions requiring cold drinks, some water dispensers are equipped with ice-making functions.

[0003] However, these water dispensers with ice-making functions have the following drawbacks: (1) Most water dispensers can only produce ice cubes of a fixed size and cannot adjust the size of the ice cubes according to the user's needs. This may not meet the personalized needs of different users. For example, large ice cubes are suitable for cooling beverages, while small ice cubes are more suitable for ready-to-drink cold drinks. (2) The ice-making process of traditional water dispensers is usually slow, and the flow rate of water during the ice-making process cannot be precisely controlled, resulting in low ice-making efficiency and poor user experience. In situations where a large amount of ice is needed, such as family gatherings or office meetings, existing water dispensers cannot meet the demand for rapid ice making. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a novel water dispenser structure that can control the size of ice cubes. By adjusting the current of the ice water circulation pump, the water flow rate is controlled, thereby precisely controlling the size of the ice cubes.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a novel water dispenser structure with controllable ice size, including a water dispenser body, an ice maker installed on the water dispenser body, an ice water circulation pump and an ice tank connected to the ice water circulation pump installed on the water dispenser body below the ice maker, and the ice tank being connected to the bottom of the ice maker.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a pure water tank and a raw water tank are respectively installed on both sides of the ice maker on the water dispenser body, and a water storage flip box is rotatably connected to the top of the ice maker on the water dispenser body. An RO filter and a PPC filter are installed on one side of the water storage flip box on the water dispenser body.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the water storage tilting box is provided with a bullet-shaped evaporator and a bullet-shaped ice-making box for making ice. The bullet-shaped ice-making box is located below the bullet-shaped evaporator and the water storage tilting box is provided with an ice-removing valve.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the ice cabinet is slidably connected to an ice cube tray drawer, which is located directly below the water storage flip box. The ice cube tray drawer has an embedded handle on the front side and an ice cube scoop inside.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom of the pure water tank is provided with a pure water tank placement seat that is snapped into the water dispenser body, the top of the pure water tank is rotatably connected with a tank cover, and a fixed handle is fixedly connected to one side of the pure water tank.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the raw water tank is installed on the water dispenser body and a partition is provided inside the raw water tank, and a rotating handle is provided at the top of the raw water tank.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a radiator is installed on the rear side of the water dispenser body.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) By adjusting the current of the ice-water circulation pump (10), the speed of the water flow can be controlled, thereby precisely controlling the volume and shape of the ice cubes. When the water flow speed is fast, the formation time of a single ice cube will be reduced, thus producing smaller ice cubes; conversely, when the water flow speed is slow, the ice cubes will have a longer formation time, thus producing larger ice cubes. This design greatly improves the flexibility and practicality of the water dispenser, and users can choose different sizes of ice cubes according to their needs to suit different application scenarios, such as beverage cooling or ready-to-drink cold drinks. (2) Since the ice-water circulation pump (10) can control the water flow speed through current adjustment, the ice-making process is more efficient. The adjustable water flow speed can optimize the speed of ice cube formation according to the actual situation, especially in situations where a large number of ice cubes are needed (such as family gatherings, office meetings, etc.), which can significantly shorten the ice-making time and improve the user experience.

It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] This utility model provides the following: Figure 1-6 The present invention discloses a novel water dispenser structure with controllable ice size, comprising a water dispenser body (1), an ice maker (2) installed on the water dispenser body (1), an ice water circulation pump (10) and an ice tank (11) connected to the ice water circulation pump (10) installed on the water dispenser body (1) below the ice maker (2), and the ice tank (11) being connected to the bottom of the ice maker (2).

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, the water dispenser body (1) of this utility model has a pure water tank (3) and a raw water tank (4) installed on both sides of the ice maker (2). A water storage flip box (5) is rotatably connected to the top of the water dispenser body (1) and an RO filter (6) and a PPC filter (7) are installed on one side of the water storage flip box (5). The RO filter 6 and the PPC filter 7 can filter the water entering the water storage flip box 5 to ensure the purity and safety of the water. The RO filter 6 adopts reverse osmosis technology, which can effectively remove impurities, heavy metals and bacteria in the water, while the PPC filter 7 is mainly used to remove residual chlorine, odor and suspended solids in the water. The two are used together to greatly improve the quality of drinking water.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the water storage tilting box 5 of this utility model is equipped with a bullet-shaped evaporator 8 and a bullet-shaped ice-making box 9 for making ice. The bullet-shaped ice-making box 9 is located below the bullet-shaped evaporator 8, and the water storage tilting box 5 is equipped with an ice-removing valve. By tilting the water storage tilting box 5, the ice-making process can be made smoother, and it is also easier to remove the ice cubes. The design of the bullet-shaped evaporator 8 and the bullet-shaped ice-making box 9 allows the water flow to be evenly distributed in the bullet-shaped ice-making box 9, improving the ice-making efficiency and shortening the initial ice-making time.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, an ice cube tray drawer 12 is slidably connected inside the freezer 2, and the ice cube tray drawer 12 is located directly below the water storage flip box 5. The front side of the ice cube tray drawer 12 has an embedded handle 1201, and the inside of the ice cube tray drawer 12 has an ice cube scoop 1202. The design of the ice cube tray drawer 12 facilitates the user's removal of ice cubes and also makes it easy to clean and maintain the ice cube tray drawer 12. The embedded handle 1201 on the front side of the ice cube tray drawer 12 allows the user to easily pull the ice cube tray drawer 12. The ice cube scoop 1202 inside the ice cube tray drawer 12 makes it convenient for the user to take out ice cubes.

[0027] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this utility model, the bottom of the pure water tank 3 is provided with a pure water tank placement seat 301 that engages with the water dispenser body 1. A lid 302 is rotatably connected to the top of the pure water tank 3, and a fixed handle 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the pure water tank 3. The design of the pure water tank 3 ensures that the water dispenser can provide pure drinking water, and the fixed handle 303 facilitates the user's movement and handling of the pure water tank 3. The raw water tank 4 is installed on the water dispenser body 1, and a partition 401 is provided inside the raw water tank 4. A rotating handle 402 is provided at the top of the raw water tank 4. The design of the raw water tank 4 provides the raw water required for ice making, and the partition 401 ensures that the raw water is evenly distributed within the raw water tank 4, improving ice-making efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a radiator 13 is installed on the rear side of the water dispenser body 1 in this utility model. The design of the radiator 13 ensures that the water dispenser can maintain a stable temperature during operation, avoiding equipment failure or performance degradation caused by excessive temperature. At the same time, the design of the radiator 13 also improves the service life and stability of the water dispenser.

[0029] Working principle: In the specific implementation of this utility model, after the pure water tank 3 is filled with water to the ice chamber 11, the ice water circulation pump 10 starts to circulate. The ice water is supplied to the water storage flip box 5 through the pipeline. The compressor is started. The circulating water flows continuously through the water storage flip box 5 and comes into contact with the bullet-shaped evaporator to achieve water cooling, produce ice water, and store it in the ice chamber 11.

[0030] Where the ice water comes into contact with the bullet-shaped evaporator 8, the temperature drops to freezing point, causing ice to form around the bullet-shaped evaporator 8. Once the ice has accumulated to a certain thickness, the ice water circulation pump 10 stops circulating, the water storage tilt box 5 flips to the top, the de-icing valve opens, and the hot refrigerant flows back to the bullet-shaped evaporator 8. The temperature rises, the ice melts, and it detaches from the bullet-shaped ice-making box 9, falling into the ice cube drawer 12. Then, the water storage tilt box 5 flips to the bottom, the ice water circulation pump 10 starts the compressor, and the next round of ice making begins.

[0031] During the ice-making process, when the user presses the button to dispense ice water, the water pump will draw ice water from the ice tank 11. If the ice tank 11 is not full, it will draw water from the pure water tank 3 to replenish it. If the pure water tank 3 is not full, the machine will draw water from the raw water tank 4 and filter it through the RO filter 6 and PPC filter 7 into the pure water tank 3.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
