Detailed Implementation Methods
[0019] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0020] See appendix Figures 1-2 This application provides a water inlet filtration system for an ice maker, which includes a filter element assembly and a water inlet tank 1 located inside the machine body. The water inlet tank has a water supply pipe 2 and a water inlet 3. A water inlet solenoid valve is provided on the outer wall of the machine body. The water inlet solenoid valve has a water inlet 3 for pipe connection. The output end of the water inlet solenoid valve 4 is connected to the input end of the filter element assembly through the water inlet pipe 5. The output end of the filter element assembly is connected to the water inlet through the water outlet pipe 6. The water input from the water inlet solenoid valve needs to be filtered by the filter element assembly before being output to the water inlet tank. The water inlet tank is used to supply water to the refrigeration unit for ice making, ensuring that the supplied water is purified and filtered, and ensuring that the ice made is clean and hygienic.
[0021] The water inlet tank 1 is equipped with a water level sensor 7, which is used to control the opening and closing of the water inlet solenoid valve. Specifically, the water level sensor 7 includes a low water level sensor and a high water level sensor. When the low water level sensor is triggered, the water inlet solenoid valve opens; when the high water level sensor is triggered, the water inlet solenoid valve closes.
[0022] The filter element assembly includes a filter element shell 8, a filter element, and a filter element cover 9. The filter element cover is sealed to the opening of the filter element shell. The filter element is located inside the filter element shell. The filter element can be one or more of the following: activated carbon filter element, reverse osmosis filter element, non-woven fabric filter element, ceramic filter element, etc.
[0023] The front end of the filter cartridge 8 is open and exposed on the front side of the machine body.
