Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice-making technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency and energy-saving ice-making device. Background Technology
[0002] Ice-making equipment is widely used in modern industrial production and daily life, especially in food processing, cold chain logistics, and aquaculture. Its performance directly affects production efficiency, product quality, and operating costs.
[0003] Traditional ice-making equipment has significant shortcomings in ice-making efficiency. Most traditional ice-making equipment uses a simple water injection method, resulting in uneven water distribution in the ice-making area. This leads to some areas having too thick or too thin water flow. In areas with excessively thick water flow, the contact with the evaporator is insufficient, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency and a significant increase in ice-making time. In areas with insufficient water flow, although ice can be formed relatively quickly, the quality of the ice is inconsistent and cannot meet actual production needs. In the food processing industry, if the ice-making speed cannot keep up with the pace of food cooling and preservation, it is easy to cause food spoilage and increased losses. In terms of cold chain logistics, if enough ice cannot be quickly stored before transportation, the low-temperature environment during transportation cannot be maintained, and the quality of goods is at great risk.
[0004] After ice making, the collection and storage process relies heavily on manual handling of ice blocks. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to causing ice breakage and melting, resulting in resource waste. Furthermore, traditional collection containers are often square, making it easy for ice blocks to crowd and clog during accumulation. This increases the difficulty of retrieval and can lead to damage due to excessive local pressure, reducing storage safety and efficiency. For the aquaculture industry, frequent manual ice collection increases labor intensity, disrupts the continuity of aquaculture operations, and hinders the efficient operation of large-scale farming.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new, highly efficient, and energy-saving ice-making device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, a through-hole is provided on one end sidewall of the sub-shell, and the multi-groove partition plate is slidably connected to the through-hole.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the high-efficiency and energy-saving ice-making device provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the moving block and the right-angle water outlet to move in a straight line. This achieves uniform dispersion of water for ice making in the sub-shell, ensuring that each compartment on the multi-slot partition plate can hold an equal amount of water. The evenly distributed water flow can make more full contact with the evaporator. Under the same refrigeration conditions, the heat exchange efficiency is significantly improved, thereby greatly shortening the time for water to turn into ice. The rapid ice-making efficiency can provide sufficient ice for food cooling and preservation in a timely manner. In cold chain logistics, efficient ice making can ensure that enough ice can be quickly stored before transportation, maintain the low temperature environment during cold chain transportation, and ensure the quality of goods.
[0017] 2. This utility model uses an electric cylinder to push a pusher block, and a pin shaft drives a locking piece to engage in the flush groove of the side block. This allows the pusher block to stably push the multi-slot partition plate. The convex plate at one end of the multi-slot partition plate is linked to the cover plate, smoothly pushing the ice blocks into the trapezoidal collection chamber. The trapezoidal chamber design utilizes the principle of gravity, allowing the ice blocks to slide down and accumulate naturally, avoiding blockage and chaos during the collection process. This automated collection and storage method reduces the tedious operation of manually handling ice blocks and improves the safety and efficiency of ice block storage. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3An efficient and energy-saving ice-making device includes: a base 1, a main shell 11 fixedly connected to the base 1, a secondary shell 12 fixedly connected to the base 1, a high-efficiency compressor 2 installed inside the main shell 11, a condenser 21 provided on one side of the high-efficiency compressor 2, a heat exchanger 22 installed and connected at the rear of the condenser 21, an evaporator 23 provided on the other side of the high-efficiency compressor 2, and a multi-slot partition plate 3 provided inside the secondary shell 12; an automatic dispersing mechanism, including two crossbars 4, both ends of the two crossbars 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the secondary shell 12, a moving block 41 provided between the two crossbars 4, both ends of the moving block 41 having sliding openings, and both ends of the moving block 41 being slidably connected to the two crossbars 4 respectively, a right-angle water outlet 42 fixedly connected to the moving block 41, a conveying assembly provided between the right-angle water outlet 42 and the secondary shell 12, and a driving assembly provided between the moving block 41 and the secondary shell 12.
[0024] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft 43, both ends of which are rotatably connected to the shell wall of the sub-shell 12. A motor 44 is installed on one side wall of the sub-shell 12, and the output end of the motor 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 43. The drive shaft 43 is a threaded shaft, and a threaded opening is provided at the middle position of the moving block 41. The moving block 41 is threadedly connected to the drive shaft 43.
[0025] It should be noted that after the motor 44 starts, it drives the drive shaft 43 to rotate, which makes the moving block 41 move smoothly. This allows for more precise control of the moving speed and position of the right-angle water outlet 42, thereby achieving a more uniform and stable dispersion of water for ice making. The diverted water can be stored in equal amounts in multiple partition slots on the multi-slot partition plate 3, so that the diverted water can form ice blocks more quickly and efficiently.
[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a water inlet pipe 5, which is located in the middle of the sub-shell 12. The lower end of the water inlet pipe 5 is provided with a branch interface, which is connected to the right-angle water outlet 42 through a connecting pipe. A solenoid valve 51 is installed and connected in the water inlet pipe 5.
[0027] It should be noted that the water inlet pipe 5 is designed to allow water to flow steadily out of the right-angle outlet 42, and the solenoid valve 51 is designed to allow the water flow to be automatically controlled by a controller (existing technology).
[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a through-hole is provided on one side wall of the sub-shell 12, and the multi-groove partition plate 3 is slidably connected to the through-hole.
[0029] It should be noted that when ice cubes need to be collected, the multi-groove partition plate 3 can slide smoothly outward along the through-hole, and the produced ice cubes can be smoothly pushed out of the secondary shell 12, which optimizes the ice cube collection process and improves the practicality and convenience of the device.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 As shown, a collection chamber 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the base 1. A limiting groove is provided on the upper inner side wall of the collection chamber 6. A cover plate 61 is slidably connected in the limiting groove. The collection chamber 6 is a trapezoidal chamber. A protruding plate is provided at one end of the multi-slot partition plate 3. The protruding plate is fixedly connected to one end of the cover plate 61.
[0031] It should be noted that the trapezoidal design of collection chamber 6 utilizes the principle of gravity, allowing ice blocks to slide and accumulate naturally after entering collection chamber 6, avoiding mutual compression and blockage, and improving the stability and efficiency of ice block storage.
[0032] The cover plate 61 and the multi-groove partition plate 3 are connected by a convex plate, so that when the multi-groove partition plate 3 slides outward to push out ice blocks, it can simultaneously drive the cover plate 61 to slide in the limiting groove, thereby realizing the function of automatically opening the collection chamber 6.
[0033] The limiting groove plays a precise limiting role in the sliding of the cover plate 61, ensuring its stability during the sliding process, preventing the cover plate 61 from shifting or falling off, and ensuring the smooth progress of the ice collection process.
[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a sealing ring 62 is installed and connected to one end of the multi-slot partition plate 3, and an electric cylinder 7 is installed and connected to the outer side wall of the sub-shell 12. A push block 71 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 7. A side block 72 is provided on one side of the push block 71, and the side block 72 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the multi-slot partition plate 3.
[0035] It should be noted that the sealing ring 62 at one end of the multi-groove partition plate 3 plays a crucial sealing role, effectively preventing water leakage from the sub-shell 12 during the ice-making process.
[0036] By connecting the pusher block 71 with the side block 72, the multi-groove partition plate 3 can be stably pushed to slide along the through opening. Compared with the traditional manual pushing method, this automated design greatly improves the efficiency of ice collection, reduces the cost of manual operation, and enhances the intelligence of the device.
[0037] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the push block 71 is provided with an installation groove, in which a pin 8 is installed and connected, and a clip 81 is installed and connected on the pin 8. The side block 72 is provided with a flush groove.
[0038] It should be noted that when the electric cylinder 7 pushes the push block 71 to move, the locking piece 81, under the action of the pin 8, accurately engages in the flush groove on the side block 72, ensuring that the push block 71 has sufficient stability when pushing the side block 72 and the multi-groove partition plate 3, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the ice collection process.
[0039] When it is necessary to manually open the cover 61 to take out ice, simply rotate the clip 81 to make it rotate the pin 8 relative to the mounting groove, which will engage the locking position between the side block 72 and the push block 71.
[0040] It should be noted that after the device is started, the high-efficiency compressor 2 inside the main shell 11 on the base 1 starts to operate, compressing the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. This gas then enters the condenser 21. The condenser 21 uses its own large-area heat sink and high-efficiency heat dissipation material to exchange heat with the outside air, quickly cooling the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas into a liquid. During this process, the heat exchanger 22 on the back of the condenser 21 plays a role, absorbing the heat released when the refrigerant in the condenser 21 is cooled, and transferring it to the medium that needs to be preheated through pipes. For example, in the aquaculture scenario, it can be used to preheat the aquaculture water to achieve heat recovery and utilization. The cooled refrigerant liquid flows into the evaporator 23. The main component of the evaporator 23 is installed in the base 1 at the lower end. It works in conjunction with the multi-slot partition plate 3 to greatly increase its contact area with water. The refrigerant quickly absorbs the heat of the water, causing the water to cool down quickly and freeze.
[0041] The working principle of the high-efficiency and energy-saving ice-making device provided by this utility model is as follows: The motor 44 is started, and its output end drives the drive shaft 43 to rotate. The moving block 41 moves linearly along the two crossbars 4 under the rotation of the drive shaft 43. The right-angle water outlet 42 fixedly connected to the moving block 41 moves accordingly, thereby dispersing and transporting water evenly into the interior of the sub-shell 12. This allows the diverted water to be stored in equal amounts in the multiple partitions on the multi-slot partition plate 3, so that the diverted water can form ice blocks more quickly and efficiently, thereby greatly improving the ice-making efficiency.
[0042] Once the ice is formed, the electric cylinder 7 is activated. The telescopic end of the electric cylinder 7 pushes the pusher block 71 to move. The pusher block 71, through the pin 8, drives the locking piece 81 to move. The locking piece 81 engages in the flush groove on the side block 72. At this time, the pusher block 71 continues to push the side block 72, thereby pushing the multi-groove partition plate 3 to slide outward along the through-hole on one end of the side wall of the sub-shell 12. The protruding plate at one end of the multi-groove partition plate 3 drives the cover plate 61 to slide in the limiting groove on the upper inner side wall of the collection chamber 6. The ice blocks in the extended multi-groove partition plate 3 can be directly pushed into the collection chamber 6 for collection. Since the collection chamber 6 is designed as a trapezoidal chamber, it is conducive to the sliding and storage of ice blocks.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
