Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to an ice-making component for an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] The ice-making component of an ice maker disclosed in CN209569927U includes a water tank, an ice template, an evaporator, a water curtain pipe, an ice receiving box, and a circulating water pump. The ice template is vertically arranged, with ice grids on its front end. The evaporator pipe is located on the rear end of the ice template. The water tank is located above the ice template, and the water curtain pipe is located between the water tank and the ice template, with multiple water outlets on the water curtain pipe. The ice receiving box is located below the ice template to collect ice and water falling from it. The inlet of the circulating water pump is connected to the ice receiving box, and its outlet is connected to the water tank. The ice receiving box includes an ice storage section and a water storage section, with the water storage section located below the ice storage section and the two sections separated by a filter plate. The inlet of the circulating water pump is connected to the water storage section.

[0003] Its structure is compact and reasonable, producing high-quality ice blocks that can achieve water recycling and prevent ice blocks from sticking together under the action of water.

[0004] However, vertically oriented ice templates are prone to leakage when storing unfrozen water, resulting in ice blocks of varying sizes. Furthermore, horizontally oriented ice templates tend to cause ice blocks to clump together during use, making this solution ineffective for ice block formation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an ice-making component for an ice maker, which solves the problem of high-temperature furnace tubes cracking due to rapid local temperature drop caused by cold water directly contacting the furnace sidewall.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ice-making component for an ice maker, comprising an ice maker, wherein a filter plate is provided inside the ice maker, and snap-fit ​​plates are fixedly installed on both sides inside the ice maker, a storage frame is snapped onto the surface of the snap-fit ​​plates, a scraping component is provided inside the storage frame, a sealing cover is provided on the top of the ice maker, and a sliding groove is provided on the front of the ice maker, wherein a collection frame is slidably connected inside the sliding groove;

[0007] The scraping assembly includes sliding grooves on both sides inside the storage frame. Moving blocks are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves. A moving plate is fixedly installed between the moving blocks. Telescopic rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the moving plate. Springs are sleeved on the surface of the telescopic rods. A scraping plate is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic rod.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the size of the sliding groove is adapted to the size of the moving block, and the moving block moves laterally inside the sliding groove.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, a rotating groove is provided in the middle of the surface of the collection frame, and a handle is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the surface of the storage frame, and the size of the limiting grooves is adapted to the size of the snap-fit ​​plate.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, a sealing ring is provided inside the sealing cover, and the size of the sealing ring is adapted to the size of the top of the ice maker.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, guide grooves are provided on both sides of the storage frame, and the guide grooves and the interior of the ice maker form a guide cavity.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an ice-making component for an ice maker, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, by using an ice maker, a storage frame, a scraping component, and a sealing cover, during use, the operator adds ice-making water to the inside of the storage frame, and then moves the scraping component laterally to scrape off excess water from the surface of the storage frame. This reduces the occurrence of ice blocks sticking together after the water freezes, and improves the efficiency of removing ice blocks.

[0015] With the scraping component provided by this utility model, during use, the operator moves the moving block through the sliding groove. When the moving block moves, it will drive the moving plate to move laterally. When the moving plate moves laterally, it will drive the telescopic rods on both sides of the bottom to move. The springs on the telescopic rods will rebound due to the compression of the storage box. The telescopic rods will drive the scraping plate to move downwards. The scraping plate scrapes the excess water in the storage box into the inside of the collection box, reducing the occurrence of water sticking together after freezing. Attached Figure Description

A snap-fit ​​plate 3 is fixedly installed on both sides inside the ice maker 1. A storage frame 4 is snapped onto the surface of the snap-fit ​​plate 3. A scraping component 5 is provided inside the storage frame 4. A sealing cover 6 is provided on the top of the ice maker 1. A sliding groove is provided on the front of the ice maker 1. A collection frame 7 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove.

[0024] The specific problems addressed in this embodiment are: vertically positioned ice templates are prone to leakage when storing unclamped water, resulting in ice blocks of varying sizes; and horizontally positioned ice templates tend to cause ice blocks to clump together during use. This invention utilizes an ice maker 1, a storage frame 4, a scraping component 5, and a sealing cover 6. During use, ice-making water is added to the storage frame 4, and then the scraping component is moved horizontally to scrape away excess water from the surface of the storage frame 4. This reduces the likelihood of ice blocks clumping together after freezing, improving the efficiency of ice removal.

[0025] The scraping assembly 5 includes sliding grooves on both sides inside the storage frame 4. Moving blocks 51 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves, and moving plates 52 are fixedly installed between the moving blocks 51.

In this specific embodiment, during use, the personnel move the moving blocks 51 through the sliding grooves. When the moving blocks 51 move, they will drive the moving plates 52 to move laterally. When the moving plates 52 move laterally, they will drive the telescopic rods 53 on both sides of the bottom to move. The springs 54 on the telescopic rods 53 will rebound due to the compression of the storage frame 4. The telescopic rods 53 drive the scraping plates 55 to move downwards. The scraping plates 55 scrape excess water in the storage frame 4 into the collection frame 7, reducing the occurrence of water sticking together after freezing.

[0026] In this specific embodiment, a rotating groove is provided in the middle of the surface of the collection frame 7, and a handle is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove. Restriction grooves are provided on both sides of the surface of the storage frame 4. The size of the restriction grooves is adapted to the size of the snap-fit ​​plate 3.
