Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a heat insulation and heat dissipation structure for an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is an electrical device capable of continuously producing ice cubes, primarily used commercially. Tea shops and coffee shops often use large quantities of ice to prepare tea and coffee drinks. Ice makers typically use an ice-making drum to extrude ice cubes, a method that offers advantages such as large ice production capacity and high efficiency. Large ice makers generate a significant amount of heat in the condenser during ice production. Fans are usually used to circulate air inside and outside the ice maker to improve heat dissipation and prevent heat buildup. However, current ice makers on the market suffer from poorly designed heat dissipation structures, allowing heat from the condenser to easily radiate to the ice drum and water tank, affecting ice production and water temperature.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a heat insulation and heat dissipation structure for an ice maker. An ice maker using this heat dissipation structure can greatly improve the heat dissipation effect of the condenser.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a heat insulation and heat dissipation structure for an ice maker. The ice maker includes a base, an ice storage liner, and a heat insulation shell. The ice storage liner and the heat insulation shell are located above the base. An ice outlet is opened on the front side of the ice storage liner. A condenser, a compressor, and a cooling fan are installed inside the base. Ventilation grilles are provided on opposite sides of the base. The heat insulation shell opens to the rear and is located behind the ice storage liner. An ice maker and a water supply tank are installed inside the heat insulation shell. The outlet of the water supply tank is connected to the inlet of the ice maker, and the ice outlet of the ice maker is connected to the ice storage liner. The heat insulation shell and the back plate of the ice maker form a heat insulation cavity.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, a water receiving tray is provided inside the heat insulation cavity. The water receiving tray is located below the ice maker and the water supply tank. The water receiving tray can collect water dripping from the ice maker and the water supply tank. A bracket is provided inside the heat insulation cavity to support the water receiving tray.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the base is provided with a sewage tank, and the water receiving tray is connected to the inside of the sewage tank through a drain pipe.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the base is equipped with a forced-flow pump, the inlet of which is connected to a sewage tank, and the outlet of which extends out to an ice maker.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the bottom of the ice storage liner is provided with a drain pipe, which is connected to a sewage tank.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the ice maker has a water inlet on its outer wall, the water inlet is connected to a water filter, and the outlet of the water filter is connected to a water supply tank.

[0011] In one or more embodiments, the inner wall of the ice storage liner is provided with a hook, and an ice shovel is hung on the hook.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by dividing the internal structure of the ice maker into upper and lower layers, the condenser and compressor with high heat generation are placed on the base, and the inner liner, ice cylinder and water tank are placed in the upper part of the ice maker.

[0016] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-3This application provides a heat insulation and heat dissipation structure for an ice maker. The ice maker includes a base 1, an ice storage liner 2, and a heat insulation shell 3. The ice storage liner and the heat insulation shell are located above the base. An ice outlet 4 is opened on the front side of the ice storage liner 2. A condenser 5, a compressor, and a cooling fan 6 are provided inside the base. Ventilation grilles 7 are provided on opposite sides of the base. The oppositely arranged ventilation grilles can form convection, and the cooling fan can better dissipate the heat inside the base when it is working. Preferably, ventilation grilles are provided on the front and rear sides of the base. The heat insulation shell 3 opens to the rear and is located behind the ice storage liner 2. An ice maker 8 and a water supply tank 9 are provided in the heat insulation shell. The outlet of the water supply tank is connected to the inlet of the ice maker, and the ice outlet of the ice maker is connected to the ice storage liner 2. The heat insulation shell 3 and the back plate 10 of the ice maker form a heat insulation cavity. Placing the ice maker and the water supply tank in the heat insulation cavity can effectively isolate external heat sources and prevent external heat sources from affecting the ice making of the ice maker and the water temperature of the water supply tank.

[0018] The heat insulation cavity is equipped with a water receiving tray 11, which is located below the ice maker 8 and the water supply tank 9. The water receiving tray can collect the water dripping from the ice maker and the water supply tank. Specifically, this water is condensate. The heat insulation cavity is equipped with a bracket 12, which supports the water receiving tray to ensure its stability.

[0019] The base 1 is equipped with a sewage tank 13. The water receiving tray is connected to the inside of the sewage tank through a drain pipe 14. The sewage tank collects the water in the water receiving tray to prevent the water in the water receiving tray from overflowing due to excessive water.

[0020] The base 1 is equipped with a forced drainage pump 15. The inlet of the forced drainage pump is connected to the sewage tank 13, and the outlet 151 of the forced drainage pump extends to an ice maker. The forced drainage pump can work in conjunction with a water level sensor or a timer. When working with a water level sensor, the water level sensor is located inside the sewage tank. When the water level sensor is triggered, the forced drainage pump works to pump out water from the sewage tank. When working with a timer, the forced drainage pump works to pump out water from the sewage tank after the timer reaches the set time.

[0021] The bottom of the ice storage liner 2 is equipped with a drain pipe, which is connected to the sewage tank 13. During use, the ice storage liner is frequently opened and closed, resulting in some ice melting. The resulting ice water can be discharged into the sewage pipe through the drain pipe. In addition, when the user cleans the ice storage liner regularly, the wastewater generated can also be directly discharged into the sewage tank.

[0022] The ice maker has a water inlet 16 on its outer wall. The water inlet is connected to a water filter. The outlet of the water filter is connected to a water supply tank 9. The water inlet is used to connect to a faucet. The water is filtered by the water filter before entering the water supply tank to ensure that the water source is clean.

[0023] The inner wall of the ice storage liner 2 is provided with hooks, and ice shovels 17 are hung on the hooks for users to use when taking ice.

[0024] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
