Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The ice maker adopts a refrigeration system to make ice with water carrier under the condition of power on. The ice maker is divided into various types, among which, the ice block ice maker is a commonly used type, simply referred to as ice block machine, and is widely applied in food and catering industries. The ice mould of the ice maker is fixed on the evaporator, and the ice mould comprises a frame body and a partition plate. The partition plate divides the frame body into a plurality of water storage grooves. The water in the water storage grooves is cooled by the evaporator to form ice blocks.

[0003] The working principle of the circulating cooling of the ice maker is as follows: the compressor inhales the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator, compresses the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous state, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, the condenser dissipates heat to remove excess heat, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is cooled into liquid refrigerant at normal temperature and pressure. The liquid refrigerant after cooling passes through the throttling hole of the expansion valve to become low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator to evaporate rapidly into gaseous refrigerant and absorbs heat, so that the water in the ice mould fixed on the evaporator rapidly freezes.

[0004] When the ice block is demoulded, the circulating cooling process is stopped, the residual heat generated by the compressor is used to heat the bottom wall of the ice mould, and the ice block at the bottom is melted until the ice block is melted to be separated from the ice mould. The demoulding process is inefficient and difficult, therefore, a ice mould convenient to demould is needed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
