Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically a water pump that is easy to install and disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a device specifically designed to produce ice cubes. It is widely used in catering, food processing, medical, laboratory, and household fields. Depending on different needs and application scenarios, ice makers come in various types and specifications. The basic working principle of an ice maker is to lower the temperature by circulating refrigerant in a closed system, causing water to freeze into ice.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN214366668U, published on October 8, 2021, discloses a water pump fixing device and an ice maker, including a base plate, a base, a water pump, and a limiting component. The base is fixed to the base plate with screws. The base has first locking parts on the left and right sides and a second locking part on the front side. The bottom of the water pump has a third locking part, which engages with the first and second locking parts. The limiting component is located on the rear side of the base and abuts against the third locking part. This allows the water pump to be fixed to the base plate of the ice maker via the base. The installation process is simple and convenient, and it is easy to disassemble, allowing users to quickly remove the water pump for maintenance or upkeep and then fix it back to the base, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned publicly disclosed solutions have the following shortcomings: In the process of disassembling and cleaning the ice maker, the water pump of the existing technology uses the connection of two threaded components to perform the function of limiting and fixing. The use of threaded connection requires rotating many times to fix it. However, inside the ice maker, whether using fingers or tools to rotate, the narrow space makes it difficult to rotate, resulting in inconvenience for disassembly and installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem that in the disassembly and cleaning of ice makers, the existing water pumps use two threaded components for limiting and fixing. The threaded connection requires multiple rotations to fix it, and the confined space inside the ice maker makes rotation difficult, whether using fingers or tools, leading to inconvenience in disassembly and installation. The invention provides a water pump that is easy to install and disassemble.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution;

[0007] This utility model discloses a water pump that is easy to install and disassemble, including a quick-release plate for easy installation and disassembly; the quick-release plate has multiple quick-release slots; a wedge plate is inserted into each quick-release slot; a connecting cover is fixed to the upper end of the wedge plate; a water pump assembly is fixed to the connecting cover and the quick-release plate; a clearance slot is provided on the quick-release plate; the quick-release plate is inserted into a water tank; multiple guide plates are fixed to the quick-release plate in the water tank; a load-bearing slot is provided in the water tank corresponding to the quick-release plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a hand-tightening component is slidably inserted into the water tank corresponding to the quick-release plate through a slot; a gasket and an elastic element are sleeved on the hand-tightening component; a limiting head is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hand-tightening component corresponding to the elastic element; the limiting head is located in the clearance groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the quick-release plate corresponding to the quick-release groove.

[0010] The water pump provided by this utility model is easy to install and disassemble, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. This utility model uses a wedge-shaped plate to lock onto the lower surface of the quick-release plate, preventing it from moving vertically upwards. Instead, it can only move upwards at an angle under external force to disengage from the quick-release groove, thus enabling rapid installation and disassembly of the water pump assembly. The quick-release plate has a clearance groove. The quick-release plate is inserted into the water tank. Multiple guide plates are fixedly connected to the quick-release plate inside the water tank. A load-bearing groove is also provided inside the water tank corresponding to the quick-release plate. Through the cooperation of multiple guide plates and the load-bearing groove, the quick-release plate is restricted within the guide plates and the load-bearing groove, thus limiting its vertical movement. The quick-release plate and water pump assembly can only be removed after moving to the bottom of one end of the load-bearing groove, making installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0012] 2. This utility model features a hand-tightening component that is slidably inserted into a slot corresponding to a quick-release plate inside the water tank. A washer and an elastic element are fitted onto the hand-tightening component. A limiting head is fixed to the upper end of the hand-tightening component corresponding to the elastic element. The limiting head is located within an clearance groove, restricting the left and right displacement of the quick-release plate. This ensures the plate is stably positioned between the guide plate and the load-bearing groove. When the guide plate and water pump assembly need to be removed, the hand-tightening component is pulled down, causing the limiting head to descend without obstructing the left and right movement of the quick-release plate for disassembly. This makes overall disassembly quicker and more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6As shown, a water pump that is easy to install and disassemble includes a quick-release plate 1 for easy installation and disassembly; multiple through quick-release grooves 2 are formed on the upper surface of the quick-release plate 1; a wedge-shaped plate 3 is inserted and engaged in the quick-release grooves 2, and a connecting cover 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the wedge-shaped plate 3; a water pump assembly 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting cover 4 and the quick-release plate 1. The wedge-shaped plate 3 uses its shape to lock onto the lower surface of the quick-release plate 1, thus preventing it from moving vertically upwards, and only allowing it to move upwards at an angle under the action of external force to disengage from the quick-release grooves 2, thereby realizing the quick installation and disassembly of the water pump assembly. The quick-release plate 1 is provided with a clearance groove 9; the quick-release plate 1 is inserted into the water tank 10; multiple guide plates 11 are fixedly connected to the quick-release plate 1 in the water tank 10 corresponding to the quick-release plate 1; a load-bearing groove 16 is provided in the water tank 10 corresponding to the quick-release plate 1. Through the cooperation of multiple guide plates 11 and load-bearing groove 16, the quick-release plate 1 is restricted within the guide plates 11 and load-bearing groove 16, thereby restricting the up and down movement of the quick-release plate 1. It can only be moved to the bottom of one end of the load-bearing groove 16 before the quick-release plate 1 and the water pump assembly 5 can be taken out, making installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0025] A hand-tightening component 12 is slidably inserted into the water tank 10 corresponding to the quick-release plate 1 through a slot. A gasket 13 and an elastic component 14 are fitted onto the hand-tightening component 12. A limiting head 15 is fixed to the upper end of the hand-tightening component 12 corresponding to the elastic component 14. The limiting head 15 is located in the clearance groove 9. The limiting head 15 restricts the left and right displacement of the quick-release plate 1, so that it is stably located between the guide plate 11 and the load-bearing groove 16. When it is necessary to remove the guide plate 11 and the water pump assembly 5, the hand-tightening component 12 is pulled down, so that the limiting head 15 descends without obstructing the left and right movement of the quick-release plate 1 for disassembly, making the overall disassembly faster and more convenient.

[0026] A guide plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the quick-release plate 1 corresponding to the quick-release slot 2. The guide plate 6 allows multiple wedge plates 3 to be easily and quickly inserted into the quick-release slot 2 when needed.

[0027] The connecting cover 4 has multiple heat dissipation slots 8, which dissipate heat from the water pump assembly 5 to prevent overheating and malfunction.

[0028] A limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the quick-release groove 2 on the connecting cover 4. The limiting plate 7 restricts the descent space of the wedge plate 3, so that it will not cause vibration and noise when the water pump assembly 5 is running.

[0029] The quick-release plate 1 and the connecting cover 4 have multiple waist-shaped grooves, which allow heat to be released into the water tank 10 and dissipated using purified water.
