Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated water tank structure for an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is an electrical device that continuously produces ice. It's typically used commercially, with large quantities of ice used in tea shops and coffee shops to prepare drinks. An ice maker has an internal refrigeration system, and the compressor and condenser are the main heat-generating components. Therefore, the water tank and refrigeration mechanism need to be located away from these heat-generating devices. As a result, in most ice makers on the market, the water tank and refrigeration mechanism are fixed inside the machine in locations arbitrarily away from these heat-generating devices. This often leads to assembly difficulties due to the internal space constraints of the ice maker, affecting the production and assembly schedule.

[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 an integrated water tank structure for an ice maker. This structure uses an insulated inner shell to assemble the ice-making mechanism and water supply tank together, which has a better heat insulation effect and facilitates the subsequent production and assembly of the ice maker.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an integrated water tank structure for an ice maker. The ice maker has an insulated inner shell, and a chamber is formed inside the insulated inner shell. The chamber is equipped with a water supply tank, a wastewater tank, and an ice-making mechanism. The water supply tank and the ice-making mechanism are located above the wastewater tank. The water supply tank supplies water to the ice-making mechanism through a water pipe. The front side of the insulated inner shell has a clearance opening, and the output end of the ice-making mechanism extends out of the clearance opening. The water pipe is connected to a drain pipe, and the drain pipe is connected to the wastewater tank.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, the heat-insulating inner shell is provided with a water receiving tray, which is located below the ice-making mechanism and the water supply tank. The water receiving tray is fixed to the heat-insulating inner shell by a first screw, and the water receiving tray is connected to a wastewater pipe connected to the wastewater tank.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the water supply tank is provided with a first mounting plate at both the upper and lower parts, and the first mounting plate is fixed to the heat-insulating inner shell by a second screw.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the wastewater tank is provided with a second mounting plate at both the upper and lower parts, and the second mounting plate is fixed to the heat-insulating inner shell by a third screw.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the water supply tank and wastewater tank are equipped with water level sensors.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by assembling components such as the water supply tank, ice-making mechanism, and wastewater tank onto the heat-insulating inner shell, the heat of the heat-generating equipment is isolated by the heat-insulating inner shell. Furthermore, the water supply tank, ice-making mechanism, and wastewater tank can be assembled onto the heat-insulating inner shell in advance during the production of the ice maker. Later, the heat-insulating inner shell only needs to be fixed inside the ice maker, thereby solving the problem of assembly efficiency limited by installation space. Attached Figure Description

[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the integrated water tank in this embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0012] 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.

[0013] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 This application provides an integrated water tank structure for an ice maker. The ice maker has an insulated inner shell 1, and a chamber is formed inside the insulated inner shell. The chamber is equipped with a water supply tank 2, a wastewater tank 3, and an ice-making mechanism 4. The water supply tank 2 and the ice-making mechanism 4 are located above the wastewater tank 3. The water supply tank 2 supplies water to the ice-making mechanism 4 through a water supply pipe 5. The front side of the insulated inner shell 1 has a clearance opening, and the output end of the ice-making mechanism 4 extends out of the clearance opening to facilitate the ice-making mechanism to make ice blocks and output them. The water supply pipe 5 is connected to a drain pipe 6, which is connected to the wastewater tank 3. The user can clean the water supply tank regularly and discharge the water directly into the wastewater tank through the drain pipe. This integrated water tank structure assembles components such as the water supply tank, ice-making mechanism, and wastewater tank onto an insulated inner shell. The insulated inner shell isolates the heat generated by the heat-generating equipment. Furthermore, during production and assembly, the water supply tank, wastewater tank, and ice-making mechanism can be assembled onto the insulated inner shell first, and then the insulated inner shell can be fixed onto the ice maker later, which helps to improve the efficiency of production and assembly.

[0014] The heat-insulating inner shell 1 is provided with a water receiving tray 7, which is located below the ice-making mechanism 4 and the water supply tank 2. The water receiving tray 7 is fixed to the heat-insulating inner shell 1 by a first screw 8. The water receiving tray 7 is connected to a wastewater pipe 9 that is connected to the wastewater tank 3. The water receiving tray can collect the condensate dripping from the surface of the ice-making mechanism and discharge it into the wastewater tank through the wastewater pipe.

[0015] The water supply tank 2 is provided with a first mounting plate 21 at both the upper and lower parts. The first mounting plate is fixed to the heat insulation inner shell 1 by a second screw 10. The wastewater tank 3 is provided with a second mounting plate 31 at both the upper and lower parts. The second mounting plate is fixed to the heat insulation inner shell 1 by a third screw 11. The water supply tank and wastewater tank are fixed with screws, which has the advantages of easy installation and disassembly.

[0016] The water supply tank 2 and wastewater tank 3 are equipped with water level sensors. The water level sensors can monitor the water level inside the water supply tank and wastewater tank. When the water level in the water supply tank is insufficient or the water level in the wastewater tank is excessive, a signal will be issued to provide information support for subsequent use and maintenance.

[0017] 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.
