Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to a structure for an ice full sensor that is easy to disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a device that uses refrigeration technology to turn water into ice. Its core principle is to remove heat from water through a thermodynamic cycle (compression, condensation, expansion, evaporation), causing the water to freeze into ice at a low temperature.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN1231737C, published on December 14, 2005, discloses a full-ice sensing device for a refrigerator ice maker. A magnet is mounted on an extension of an ice-detecting lever that senses full ice. The magnet and the ice-detecting lever rotate coaxially. A Hall sensor is provided corresponding to the position of the ice-detecting lever when it is full. The ice-detecting lever moves up and down periodically. When not in a partially full state, the ice-detecting lever moves upward, and the Hall sensor outputs a sensing signal to the magnet. The ice-detecting lever then returns to the lower position, and the sensing signal ends after a certain period. When the ice is full, the rotation of the upward-moving ice-detecting lever is restricted by the full ice, and the lever stops moving at the full ice position. The Hall sensor continuously senses the magnet, and the control unit senses the full ice state through the continuous sensing signal output by the Hall sensor. The control unit can perform accurate control, and because it can prevent ice making from continuing when full ice is formed, it improves the usability of the ice maker of this invention. It can also sense whether the ice container in the freezer compartment is full, improving the accuracy of full-ice sensing.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned disclosed solutions have the following shortcomings: the existing full ice detection device uses multi-stage transmission to control the displacement between the Hall sensor and the magnet, so as to detect whether the ice is full by the Hall sensor. However, such a structural connection method makes it inconvenient to hide it on the side of the evaporator of the ice maker, and cannot achieve the goal of not hindering the installation and disassembly of the evaporator. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem that existing ice full detection devices use multi-stage transmission to control the displacement between the Hall sensor and the magnet, so as to detect whether the ice is full by the Hall sensor. However, this structural connection method makes it inconvenient to hide it on the side of the evaporator of the ice maker, and it is impossible to avoid hindering the installation and disassembly of the evaporator. This invention provides an ice full sensor structure that is easy to disassemble.

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

[0007] The present invention discloses a detachable ice sensor structure, comprising a positioning clamp; a mounting groove is provided in the positioning clamp; a bolt and a silicone plug are inserted into the mounting groove; a positioning hole is provided in the positioning clamp; a movable plate is rotatably inserted into the positioning hole; a sensor is fixedly connected to the movable plate through a groove; a mounting hole is provided in the positioning clamp; an ice skating plate is rotatably inserted into the mounting hole; and a magnetic block is fixedly connected to the ice skating plate corresponding to the sensor.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable plate is provided with a locking groove; the positioning clamp is provided with a locking protrusion corresponding to the locking groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a sliding lug is fixedly connected to the end of the movable plate; a limiting baffle is provided on the movable plate corresponding to the mounting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, an evaporator is fixedly connected to the positioning clamp; the positioning clamp is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the evaporator.

[0011] The ice full sensor structure provided by this utility model is easy to disassemble and has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This utility model involves inserting a sensor into a mounting slot; then fixing the sensor to a movable plate, allowing the sensor to move with the movable plate; the movable plate has a shaft that rotatably inserts into a positioning hole, allowing the movable plate to move around the positioning hole, thus facilitating the installation and removal of the sensor; the positioning hole is opened on a positioning clamp; the positioning clamp has a mounting hole; an ice skating plate is rotatably inserted into the mounting hole; a magnetic block is fixed to the sensor on the ice skating plate, and the sensor is fixed to the ice skating plate by the magnetic block. When there is no ice on the ice skating plate, one end of the ice skating plate that fixes the magnetic block is in close contact with the sensor; when ice accumulates on the ice skating plate, the magnetic block moves away from the sensor, and the sensor does not receive the signal from the magnetic block, which is a full ice signal, thus sending a signal to the compressor to stop cooling;

[0013] 2. This utility model has a slotted groove on the movable plate; the positioning clamp plate has a slotted protrusion corresponding to the slotted groove. The slotted groove is elastically deformed and locked onto the slotted protrusion, which can play a role in detachable and fixed connection, which can both restrict the sensor and protect the sensor from moisture.

[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up-down-left-right-forward-backward...) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. The connection can be a direct connection or an indirect connection.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a detachable ice full sensor structure includes a positioning clamp 1; the positioning clamp 1 has an installation groove 2 for connecting and fixing it inside an ice maker; bolts and silicone sealing plugs are inserted into the installation groove 2; then the sensor 3 is fixed to a movable plate 7, allowing the sensor 3 to move with the movable plate 7, facilitating the installation, removal, and protection of the sensor 3; the movable plate 7 has a shaft that rotatably inserts into a positioning hole 4, allowing the movable plate 7 to move around the positioning hole 4, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the sensor. 3; Positioning hole 4 is opened on positioning clamp 1; Positioning clamp 1 has mounting hole 10; Ice board 5 is rotatably inserted into mounting hole 10; Magnetic block 6 is fixed on ice board 5 corresponding to sensor 3, and fixed on ice board 5 by magnetic block 6. When there is no ice on ice board 5, one end of ice board 5 that fixes magnetic block 6 is in close contact with sensor 3. When ice accumulates on ice board 5, magnetic block 6 moves away from sensor 3. Sensor 3 does not receive signal from magnetic block 6, which is a full ice signal, and thus sends a signal to compressor to stop cooling.

[0025] The movable plate 7 has a slotted groove 9; the positioning clamp 1 has a slotted protrusion 8 corresponding to the slotted groove 9. The slotted groove 9 is elastically deformed and locked onto the slotted protrusion 8, which can play the role of detachable and fixed connection, which can both restrict the sensor 3 and protect the sensor 3 from moisture.

[0026] The end of the movable plate 7 is fixed with a lever lug 11; a limiting baffle 13 is provided on the movable plate 7 corresponding to the mounting groove 2. By aligning the edge of the mounting groove 2 with the limiting baffle 13, the rotational movement of the movable plate 7 is more precise and stable when inserted into the mounting groove 2, thus limiting the degree of freedom of the movable plate 7.

[0027] An evaporator 12 is fixedly attached to a positioning clamp 1; the positioning clamp 1 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the evaporator 12, so as not to affect the normal use of the evaporator 12.

[0028] The positioning clamp 1 and the movable plate 7 are made of plastic injection molding, making them lightweight, pollution-free, and easy to manufacture.

[0029] The shaft and positioning hole 4 of the movable plate 7 are connected by an interference fit, which makes the protection of the sensor 3 more stable.
