Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ice-making devices, and in particular to an ice-moving mechanism and an ice maker. Background Technology
[0002] Ice makers, widely used in homes, businesses, and industries, primarily function to convert water into ice cubes and store them in an ice storage chamber using a refrigeration system. Traditional ice makers typically have a sealed or semi-sealed ice storage chamber where ice cubes naturally accumulate under gravity. However, during storage, factors such as temperature fluctuations within the chamber, condensation on the ice cube surface, or frost formation on the chamber walls can cause ice bridges to form between adjacent ice cubes or between ice cubes and the chamber walls. This leads to the ice cubes sticking together, making it difficult for them to drain smoothly from the outlet, potentially causing blockages and affecting the maker's normal ice dispensing.
[0003] This utility model was proposed in response to the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the problem mentioned above where, during the storage of ice in an ice maker, factors such as temperature fluctuations inside the ice storage chamber, condensation on the ice surface, or frost formation on the inner wall of the ice storage chamber can easily cause ice bridges to form between adjacent ice blocks or between ice blocks and the inner wall of the ice storage chamber. This results in ice blocks sticking together, making it difficult for the ice blocks to be smoothly discharged through the ice outlet, and even causing blockages, thus affecting the normal ice dispensing of the ice maker.

[0033] Example 1:
[0034] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 11, this utility model provides an ice maker, including an ice-making mechanism, an ice-transferring mechanism 1, and an ice-discharging mechanism 2. The ice-making mechanism is used to prepare ice blocks, the ice-discharging mechanism 2 is used to discharge ice blocks, and the ice-transferring mechanism 1 is disposed between the ice-making mechanism and the ice-discharging mechanism 2. The ice-transferring mechanism 1 is used to receive ice blocks from the ice-making mechanism and transport the ice blocks to the ice-discharging mechanism 2. Specifically, the ice-transferring mechanism 1 includes an ice storage cavity 10 for accommodating ice blocks, and an ice-transferring device 11, an ice-stirring device 12, and a driving device 13 disposed on one side of the ice storage cavity 10. The ice storage cavity 10 is located below the ice-making mechanism and is used to store ice blocks that fall from the ice-making mechanism. The bottom of the ice storage cavity 10 is provided with... An ice feeding section 101 is provided to guide ice blocks to the ice transfer device 11. An ice stirring device 12 is located above the ice feeding section 101 and is driven by a drive device 13 to rotate within the ice storage cavity 10. As ice blocks accumulate on the ice feeding section 101, the height of the ice blocks in the ice storage cavity 10 gradually increases. At this time, the drive device 13 can be used to drive the ice stirring device 12 to rotate within the ice storage cavity 10, thereby stirring the ice blocks and preventing them from sticking together. This effectively avoids blockage at the ice inlet of the ice transfer mechanism 1, ensuring smooth delivery of ice blocks and thus ensuring the normal ice output of the ice maker.
[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the ice-stirring device 12 includes a first ice stirrer 121. The first ice stirrer 121 has at least one first ice-stirring part 122 on one side. The first ice-stirring part 122 extends radially outward along the first ice stirrer 121 and forms a first extending direction of the first ice-stirring part 122. The first ice stirrer 121 is driven to rotate by the driving device 13, so as to drive the first ice-stirring part 122 to rotate and stir the ice block in the ice storage cavity 10. The first ice-stirring part 122 extends into the ice storage cavity 10 to increase the contact area between the first ice-stirring part 122 and the ice block, thereby improving the ice-stirring efficiency of the first ice stirrer 121.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, one optional embodiment of the first ice-stirring section 122 is that both sides of the first ice-stirring section 122 extend along the length direction of the first ice shovel 121, forming a second extending direction of the first ice-stirring section 122, wherein the second extending direction is perpendicular to the first extending direction; wherein, Figure 5 Arrow H1a in this embodiment represents the first extension direction, and arrow H2a represents the second extension direction in this embodiment.
[0037] like Figure 6As shown, in a second optional embodiment of the first ice-stirring section 122, both sides of the first ice-stirring section 122 extend circumferentially along the first ice shovel 121, forming a second extending direction of the first ice-stirring section 122; wherein, Figure 6 Arrow H1b in the figure represents the first extension direction in this embodiment, and arrow H2b represents the second extension direction in this embodiment.
[0038] In other embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, there are several first ice-stirring parts 122, and each first ice-stirring part 122 is evenly distributed along the circumferential and / or length direction of the first ice stirrer 121; by increasing the number of first ice-stirring parts 122, the contact area between the first ice-stirring parts 122 and the ice block is further increased, thereby improving the ice-stirring efficiency of the first ice stirrer 121.
[0039] Optionally, when each of the first ice-scraping parts 122 is evenly distributed along the length direction of the first ice-scraping device 121, the first ice-scraping device 121 may be configured as an axially extending ice-scraping rod; in other embodiments, the first ice-scraping device 121 may be provided with first ice-scraping parts 122 of different shapes along its length direction at the same time. For example, first ice-scraping parts 122 extending circumferentially along the first ice-scraping device 121 and first ice-scraping parts 122 extending along the length direction of the first ice-scraping device 121 may be provided.
[0040] On the other hand, such as Figure 1As shown in Figure 4, the ice-transferring device 11 includes a fixed bracket 111 and a transfer member 112 rotatably disposed within the fixed bracket 111. The fixed bracket 111 has a first rotating cavity 1111 for the transfer member 112 to rotate. The transfer member 112 is used to transport ice blocks. The transfer member 112 is disposed between the driving device 13 and the first ice stirrer 121. The driving device 13 drives the transfer member 112 to rotate within the first rotating cavity 1111, and the transfer member 112 drives the first ice stirrer 121 to rotate within the ice storage cavity 10. The transfer member 112 and the first ice stirrer 121 share a single driving device 13 to achieve synchronous rotation, which helps to reduce the hardware of the ice-transferring mechanism 1, reduce manufacturing costs, reduce the space occupied by the ice-transferring mechanism 1 in the ice maker, and improve the space utilization of the ice maker. Furthermore, the transfer member 112... The transfer member 112 is provided with at least one ice block receiving cavity 1125 that can communicate with the ice storage cavity 10. The ice delivery part 101 is provided with an ice guide inclined wall 1011. Under the action of gravity, the ice blocks in the ice storage cavity 10 can move along the ice guide inclined wall 1011 toward the transfer member 112. As the transfer member 112 rotates, it can cause the ice blocks to enter the ice block receiving cavity 1125 from the ice guide inclined wall 1011. The ice blocks are then transported to the ice discharging mechanism 2 for discharge by the rotation of the transfer member 112. During the above ice transfer process, the ice blocks are stirred by the first ice stirrer 121, which can not only prevent the ice blocks from sticking together, but also improve the ice block moving efficiency. At the same time, the drive device 13 drives the transfer member 112 and the first ice stirrer 121 to rotate synchronously, which helps to improve the efficiency of the ice blocks entering the ice block receiving cavity 1125, thereby improving the ice discharging efficiency of the ice maker.
[0041] In some alternative embodiments, the transfer member 112 may be configured as a turntable structure, and the transfer member 112 has a plurality of ice block receiving cavities 1125 arranged circumferentially, each of which can hold one ice block, thereby improving the efficiency of the transfer member 112 in conveying ice blocks; the transfer member 112 drives the ice block to rotate, so as to transport the ice block to the ice inlet of the ice dispensing mechanism 2; optionally, the ice inlet of the ice dispensing mechanism 2 is located above the ice outlet of the ice delivery part 101.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4, one optional embodiment of the connection structure between the first ice churn 121 and the transfer member 112 is that the first ice churn 121 and the transfer member 112 are directly connected. Specifically, the first ice churn 121 has a driving part 1211 and a driven part 1212 at both ends. The transfer member 112 has a first connecting part 1121 corresponding to the driving part 1211 and a second connecting part 1122 corresponding to the driving device 13. The second connecting part 1122 extends toward the driving device 13. Optionally, the driving device 13 is a motor, and the output shaft 131 of the driving device 13 is fixedly connected to the second connecting part 1122 to realize the rotation of the transfer member 112. The driving part 1211 is connected to the first connecting part 1121. Optionally, the driving part 1211 and the first connecting part 1121 are fixedly snapped together to ensure the first ice churn... The synchronous rotation between the ice stirrer 121 and the transfer member 112 is noteworthy. It should be noted that the drive unit 1211 and the first connecting unit 1121 can employ common detachable snap-fit structures such as buckles or slots. Furthermore, the ice feeding unit 101 has a mounting bracket 14 on one side opposite the ice transfer device 11. The mounting bracket 14 extends upward from the ice feeding unit 101, and the driven part 1212 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 14, allowing the first ice stirrer 121 to be horizontally positioned between the mounting bracket 14 and the transfer member 112. The drive device 13 drives the transfer member 112 to rotate, and the transfer member 112 drives the first ice stirrer 121 to rotate within the ice storage chamber 10. The driven part 1212 assists in the rotation of the first ice stirrer 121, thereby improving the stability and durability of the first ice stirrer 121 and enabling the first ice stirrer 121 to effectively stir the ice.
[0043] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, the mounting bracket 14 is provided with a through hole 141 adapted to the driven part 1212, and the driven part 1212 is rotatably inserted into the through hole 141. On the other hand, since the first ice-stirring part 122 and the ice block have a rigid collision, in order to protect the first ice stirrer 121 and the transfer part 112, a vibration damping structure is provided in the mounting bracket 14. The vibration damping structure includes a connecting plate 142 provided in the mounting bracket 14, the through hole 141 is provided through the connecting plate 142, and a vibration damping gap 143 is provided between the periphery of the connecting plate 142 and the mounting bracket 14. The vibration damping gap 143 improves the airflow in the mounting bracket 14, so as to dissipate the vibration energy generated when the first ice stirrer 122 collides with the ice block. The connecting plate 142 can be set to have a certain elasticity to further realize vibration reduction and noise reduction, thereby extending the service life of the first ice stirrer 121.
[0044] On the other hand, in order to improve the rotational stability of the transfer member 112, the optional embodiments of the connection structure between the transfer member 112 and the fixed bracket 111 are as follows, such as... Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, the fixed bracket 111 is further provided with a side plate 1112 located on one side of the first rotating cavity 1111. The side plate 1112 separates the ice storage cavity 10 and the first rotating cavity 1111. A bushing 1113 is provided on the side of the side plate 1112 facing the first rotating cavity 1111. The transfer member 112 is further provided with a mounting cylinder 1123 located outside the first connecting part 1121. A second rotating cavity 1124 is formed between the mounting cylinder 1123 and the first connecting part 1121 for the bushing 1113 to be inserted. The first connecting part 1121 passes through... The bushing 1113 is connected to the drive unit 1211. When the drive device 13 drives the transfer member 112 to rotate, the mounting cylinder 1123 and the first connecting part 1121 rotate relative to the bushing 1113, and drive the connecting part 123 and the first ice churn 121 to rotate through the first connecting part 1121, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the transfer member 112 and the first ice churn 121. At the same time, the bushing 1113 is inserted between the mounting cylinder 1123 and the first connecting part 1121 to improve the rotational stability of the transfer member 112.
[0045] In addition, at least one of the ice block receiving cavities 1125 is exposed relative to the side plate 1112 and communicates with the ice storage cavity 10, that is, at least one of the ice block receiving cavities 1125 can be rotated to the bottom of the transfer member 112 and communicate with the ice storage cavity 10, so that the ice block in the ice delivery part 101 can enter the ice block receiving cavity 1125 and be transported to the ice discharging mechanism 2 by the transfer member 112.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] Example 2 is a second optional embodiment of the connection structure between the first ice churn 121 and the transfer member 112. The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the first ice churn 121 and the transfer member 112 are indirectly connected. Specifically, as shown... Figure 10As shown, a connector 123 is provided between the first ice churn 121 and the transfer member 112. The first connecting part 1121 passes through the bushing 1113 and is connected to the connector 123. The connector 123 has a third connecting part 1231 that is connected to the drive part 1211 and a fourth connecting part 1232 that is connected to the first connecting part 1121 on both sides. A first limiting structure 1233 is provided between the third connecting part 1231 and the drive part 1211. The first limiting structure 1233 is used to limit the relative rotation between the third connecting part 1231 and the drive part 1211. A second limiting structure 1234 is provided between the first connecting part 1121 and the fourth connecting part 1232. The second limiting structure 1234 is used to limit the relative rotation between the first connecting part 1121 and the fourth connecting part 1232.
[0048] Optionally, the third connecting part 1231 includes a sleeve, the driving part 1211 includes a connecting sleeve adapted to the sleeve, the sleeve is fitted into the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve, and the first limiting structure 1233 includes a first limiting block 12331 disposed on the outside of the third connecting part 1231 and a limiting groove 12332 disposed on the driving part 1211. The first limiting block 12331 is fitted into the limiting groove 12332 to achieve a fixed connection between the connecting member 123 and the first ice churn 121, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the first ice churn 121 and the transfer member 112 through the connecting member 123, ensuring synchronous rotation between the first ice churn 121 and the transfer member 112.
[0049] Optionally, at least a portion of the fourth connecting part 1232 extends into the inner side of the bushing 1113 and connects to the first connecting part 1121. The fourth connecting part 1232 includes a plurality of locking blocks evenly distributed circumferentially. The first connecting part 1121 includes a plurality of slots corresponding to the locking blocks. A second limiting block is provided between two adjacent slots. Each locking block engages with each slot to engage the connecting member 123 with the transfer member 112. Any locking block abuts against the second limiting blocks located on both sides of the slot to form the second limiting structure 1234, thereby restricting the relative rotation between the connecting member 123 and the transfer member 112, and ensuring that the transfer member 112, the connecting member 123, and the first ice churn 121 are driven by the driving device 13 to achieve synchronous rotation.
[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9Arrow S in the figure indicates the reference movement direction of the transfer member 112, the first ice stirrer 121, and the second ice stirrer when moving ice in this embodiment. It should be noted that this movement direction can be set according to the position of the ice dispensing mechanism 2. In some alternative embodiments, the ice stirring device 12 further includes a second ice stirrer, which includes the connecting member 123 and a second ice stirring part 124 disposed around the connecting member 123. The second ice stirring part 124 extends radially outward along the connecting member 123. Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second ice-stirring part 124 extends circumferentially along both sides of the connecting member 123. The second ice-stirring part 124 is located above the ice storage cavity 10 and the ice inlet of the transfer member 112, that is, the second ice-stirring part 124 is close to the ice inlet of the transfer member 112. The driving device 13 drives the transfer member 112 to rotate in the first rotating cavity 1111, and the transfer member 112 drives the second ice stirrer to rotate, so that the second ice-stirring part 124 stirs the ice block near the ice inlet of the transfer member 112, preventing the ice block from blocking the ice inlet of the transfer member 112, so that the ice block can enter the ice block receiving cavity 1125 in the transfer member 112 more smoothly, improving the ice block conveying efficiency of the ice transfer mechanism 1, thereby improving the ice output efficiency of the ice maker.
[0051] Furthermore, the side plate 1112 is provided with a relief groove 1114 on the side facing the ice storage cavity 10 for the second ice stirring part 124 to rotate. When the second ice stirrer rotates, it drives the second ice stirring part 124 to rotate in the relief groove 1114, making the structure of the ice moving mechanism 1 more compact and further reducing the area occupied by the ice moving mechanism 1 in the ice maker.
