Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice weighing in ice makers, and more specifically, to an ice weighing structure for ice makers. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of ice makers in both commercial and residential settings, users have increasingly higher demands for their performance and functionality. Among these, the ice weighing function is a crucial component, directly impacting user experience and ice quality control. However, during the weighing process, the instantaneous impact force generated when ice or containers are placed on the weighing platform, especially when ice is dropped from a height or containers are placed rapidly, directly transmits vibrations or impacts to the sensor. This causes fluctuations in the weighing result, and the impact force can damage the weighing sensor or cause it to output unstable signals, affecting weighing accuracy.

[0003] For example, the "Ice Maker Weighing Device and System" disclosed in Chinese Invention Patent (Application No.: 202311352701.7) includes a weighing component, an ice quantity control circuit, and a main controller. The ice quantity control circuit includes a first switching device disposed within the ice maker and a second switching device disposed within the weighing component. Both the first and second switching devices are connected in series in the path between a Hall effect switch on the ice baffle plate of the ice maker and the main control board of the ice maker. The first and second switching devices are also connected in parallel and electrically connected to the main controller. The main controller is configured to, when the ice maker is operating for a first specified time period, control the first switching device to open and control the second switching device to close or open based on the ice quantity detected by the weighing component, thereby controlling the ice maker; and when the ice maker is operating for a second specified time period, control the first switching device to close, thereby restoring the autonomous control of the ice maker. This patent can corroborate the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing an ice block weighing structure for ice makers. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In the scheme of this application:

[0016] 1. By using a spring and weighing components, when ice or a container filled with ice is placed on the weighing pan, the weighing pan will move downward a short distance. The spring will buffer the impact force, thereby reducing damage to the load cell. When the weight of the ice exceeds the limit, the spring will be compressed, causing the weighing pan to contact the base, thus preventing damage to the weighing components due to overweight and extending the service life of the load cell. At the same time, the spring can isolate some external vibrations, allowing the weighing pan to remain relatively stable when subjected to external interference, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the weighing results. This solves the problem in existing technologies where the instantaneous impact force generated when ice or a container is placed on the weighing platform can damage the load cell or cause unstable signal output from the sensor.

[0017] 2. By designing a transmission and cleaning component, when water or condensation from melting ice appears on the weighing pan, the transmission component moves the cleaning component to clean the liquid off the weighing pan, which is then collected in a recycling box. This solves the problem in existing technologies where condensation remains on the weighing pan when ice is placed directly on it or placed in a container. This condensation not only adds extra weight and causes weighing errors, but also evaporates or flows over time, further affecting the stability of the weighing results. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0029] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An ice weighing structure for an ice maker includes a weighing pan 1 for placing ice or a container containing ice. A base 13 is located at the bottom of the weighing pan 1, and a weighing component 2 is located at the bottom of the base 13. A spring 24 is installed inside the weighing component 2 to cushion the impact of falling ice. When the weight of the ice exceeds the limit of the spring 24, the spring 24 is compressed, causing the weighing pan 1 to move downwards and contact the base 13, thus preventing damage to the weighing component 2 due to overweight. In this overweight state, the weighing pan 1 is in contact with the base 13 for support, and therefore the weighing component 2 does not perform its weighing function. Side plates 12 are fixedly connected to the base 13 on both sides of the weighing pan 1. An inclined plate 15 is fixedly positioned above the weighing pan 1 between the two side plates 12. A common connecting plate 11 is fixedly installed at the rear ends of the two side plates 12. The connecting plate 11 is used for connecting to the sides or interior of other equipment, including but not limited to the exterior of the ice maker.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the weighing assembly 2 includes a weighing sensor 22 located below the base 13. Specifically, the weighing sensor 22 is a cantilever beam weighing sensor. When the weight of an object is supported by the cantilever beam, the cantilever beam will be subjected to pressure and become tilted. This tilt will be detected by the acceleration sensor, and then the weight of the object will be calculated through electrical signal conversion. In addition, the capacitive pressure sensor can detect the deformation of the cantilever beam, further verifying and improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0033] A mounting block 21 is fixedly provided on one side of the top of the load cell 22. The mounting block 21 is fixedly connected to the base 13. A first support plate 23 is fixedly provided on the other side of the top of the load cell 22. A connecting hole 14 is provided on the base 13 above the first support plate 23. A support cylinder 27 fixedly connected to the weighing pan 1 is provided inside the connecting hole 14. When ice or a container containing ice is placed on the weighing pan 1, the weighing pan 1 will move down a short distance. The impact force is buffered by the spring 24, thereby reducing the impact force and reducing the damage to the load cell 22. At the same time, the weight is measured by the load cell 22.

[0034] Two sliding rods 25 are located inside the support cylinder 27 below the bottom of the weighing pan 1. A spring 24 is located outside the two sliding rods 25 inside the support cylinder 27. The two ends of the spring 24 are fixedly connected to the weighing pan 1 and the first support plate 23, respectively. The bottom end of the sliding rod 25 passes through the first support plate 23 and the weighing sensor 22 and extends to the bottom of the weighing sensor 22. When the weighing pan 1 moves downward, the sliding rod 25 slides on the weighing sensor 22, increasing the stability of the weighing pan 1. Both ends of the sliding rod 25 are fixedly provided with blocking blocks 26. The upper blocking block 26 is fixedly connected to the weighing pan 1.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The ice block weighing structure for the ice maker provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a transmission assembly 3 is provided on the outside of the weighing pan 1. The transmission assembly 3 is used to drive the cleaning assembly 5 to move back and forth. A support assembly 4 is provided inside the transmission assembly 3. The cleaning assembly 5 is provided at the top of the transmission assembly 3. The cleaning assembly 5 is used to clean the liquid on the weighing pan 1 through the transmission assembly 3. A recycling box 7 is provided at the bottom of the transmission assembly 3. The recycling box 7 is used to recycle condensate. An installation assembly 8 is provided on the outside of the recycling box 7. The installation assembly 8 is used to install the recycling box 7.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 3 includes two mounting plates 31 fixed to the front end of the connecting plate 11, a fixing plate 32 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 11 between the two mounting plates 31, two connecting seats 33 fixedly provided on both sides of the top of the base 13, the connecting seats 33 being located in front of the weighing pan 1, a second transmission wheel 35 being rotatably provided between the two connecting seats 33 on the same side, and a first transmission wheel 34 rotatably connected between the fixing plate 32 and the mounting plate 31 behind the second transmission wheel 35, the second transmission wheel 35 and the first transmission wheel 34 being synchronous wheels.

[0038] A drive shaft 36 is provided between the two fixed plates 32. Both ends of the drive shaft 36 pass through the fixed plates 32 and are fixedly connected to the first drive wheel 34. When one of the first drive wheels 34 rotates, it drives the other first drive wheel 34 to rotate through the drive shaft 36. The first drive wheel 34 and the second drive wheel 35 on the same side are connected by a belt drive. The belt is a synchronous belt. The two belts are located between the two side plates 12. When the first drive wheel 34 rotates, it drives the second drive wheels 35 on both sides to rotate through the belt and the drive shaft 36, so that the belt runs and drives the cleaning component 5 to move. A motor 37 is fixedly provided on the side of one of the first mounting plates 31 away from the first drive wheel 34. The output end of the motor 37 passes through the first mounting plate 31 and is fixedly connected to the first drive wheel 34 on the same side. When the motor 37 is started, it drives the first drive wheel 34 to rotate.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning component 5 includes a sliding frame 52 fixed to the belt. The sliding frame 52 is wrapped around the belt. The top of the two sliding frames 52 is fixed with the same second mounting plate 51. The bottom of the second mounting plate 51 is fixed with a sponge 53 located between the two sliding frames 52. The sponge 53 is used to absorb condensed water or melted ice on the weighing pan 1. At the same time, water that cannot be absorbed in time will be pushed backward by the moving sponge 53, thus pushing it into the recycling box 7 behind. The bottom of the sponge 53 has inclined surfaces on both the front and back.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support assembly 4 includes a support block 41 located between the first transmission wheel 34 and the second transmission wheel 35 on the same side. The support block 41 is used to support the sliding frame 52 and improve its movement stability. The support block 41 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 31 and the fixing plate 32 located on the same side. Support seats 42 are fixedly provided on both sides of the support block 41. The support seats 42 are fixedly connected to the weighing pan 1 and are located in front of both sides of the weighing pan 1. The sliding frame 52 is slidably connected to the support block 41 located on the same side. When the cleaning assembly 5 moves, it is supported by the support block 41 to prevent the belt's toughness from causing the cleaning assembly 5 to shake violently.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the mounting assembly 8 includes a second support plate 81 fixed to the rear end of the base 13. The bottom end of the second support plate 81 is provided with two upward-facing C-shaped frames 82. The top end of the C-shaped frames 82 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 81. The recycling box 7 is located inside the two C-shaped frames 82. The recycling box 7 is supported by the C-shaped frames 82. A protective plate 83 is fixedly provided on one side of the recycling box 7 on one side of the C-shaped frame 82. The protective plate 83 blocks one side of the recycling box 7. A barrier plate 84 is provided on the other side of the recycling box 7 on one side of the C-shaped frame 82. Two bolts 85 are provided on the side of the barrier plate 84 away from the recycling box 7. The ends of the bolts 85 pass through the barrier plate 84 and the C-shaped frame 82 and are threadedly connected to the C-shaped frame 82. By rotating the bolts 85, the barrier plate 84 is gradually brought closer to the barrier plate 84 through the threads, and the barrier plate 84 is fixed between the bolts 85 and the C-shaped frame 82, blocking the other side of the recycling box 7 and fixing it in place.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] The ice weighing structure for the ice maker provided in Examples 1 and 2 has been further optimized, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a rotating roller 61 is provided between the two fixed plates 32. When the sponge 53 moves backward through the transmission assembly 3, it cleans the condensed water or water from the melting ice on the weighing pan 1. It continues to move backward and passes through the rotating roller 61. The water on the sponge 53 is squeezed dry by the rotation of the rotating roller 61 and itself, and collected by the recycling box 7 below. The rotating roller 61 is located in front of the transmission shaft 36 and behind the sponge 53.

[0044] The usage process of the ice block weighing structure for ice makers provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0045] When it is necessary to weigh ice, place the ice on the weighing pan 1. The weighing pan 1 will move down a short distance. The impact force is buffered by the spring 24, thereby reducing the impact force and reducing the damage to the weighing sensor 22. At the same time, the weight is measured by the weighing sensor 22.

[0046] When it is necessary to clean the condensate on the weighing pan 1, start the motor 37 to drive the first transmission wheel 34 to rotate. Through the transmission shaft 36, drive the other first transmission wheel 34 to rotate. The first transmission wheel 34 drives the second transmission wheel 35 to rotate through the belt. While the belt is running, the cleaning component 5 moves backward and contacts the top of the weighing pan 1. The sponge 53 contacts the weighing pan 1. With the help of the inclined plane and the spring 24, the weighing pan 1 is guided downward. The spring 24 makes the weighing pan 1 and the sponge 53 in close contact, thereby absorbing the liquid on the weighing pan 1. The sponge 53 continues to move backward and passes through the rotating roller 61. While driving the rotating roller 61 to rotate, the water in the sponge 53 is squeezed out and recycled through the recycling box 7 below.

[0047] When it is necessary to remove the recycling box 7 to facilitate the disposal of its internal liquid, turn the bolt 85 to separate it from the C-frame 82 and the barrier plate 84 through the thread, thereby removing the barrier plate 84 from the fixation, removing the barrier plate 84, and then pushing the recycling box 7 from the other side to push the recycling box 7 outward, thereby removing it.
