[0002] The ice-making component and ice-making equipment disclosed in CN217154619U include an ice-making unit, a water supply unit, and a refrigeration unit. The water supply tank is connected to the ice-making unit and is used to supply liquid to the ice-making unit. The refrigeration unit is disposed in the water supply tank to pre-cool the liquid in the water supply tank.

[0003] This design ensures that the liquid in the water supply tank is cooled to below room temperature by the pre-cooling effect of the refrigeration unit, effectively shortening the ice-making cycle of the ice-making unit and improving the ice-making efficiency of the ice-making components.

[0004] However, if the ice is not used up, it will melt inside the ice-making unit. The melted water is not collected, resulting in water waste. This solution wastes the water after the ice melts. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an ice-making component and ice-making equipment, which solves the problem that when ice is not used up, it will melt inside the ice-making component, and the melted water will not be collected by personnel, resulting in the waste of water resources.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ice-making component, including a storage frame, a sliding groove inside the storage frame, a sealing plate slidably connected inside the sliding groove, a placement frame snapped into the storage frame, connecting plates fixedly installed on both sides of the surface of the placement frame, a collecting component provided at the bottom of the connecting plates, a water tank fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the storage frame, a guide tube provided on one side of the top of the water tank, an ice maker for making ice provided at one end of the guide tube, and the ice maker fixedly installed on the back of the storage frame;

[0007] The collection assembly includes a collection frame fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting plate, a filter plate fixedly installed inside the collection frame, a water pump fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the collection frame, and a guide pipe fixedly installed at the output end of the water pump.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, a transmission pipe is fixedly installed at one end of the guide pipe, and the transmission pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the water tank.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, guide grooves are provided on both sides inside the storage frame, and a placement frame is slidably connected inside the guide grooves.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, support feet for improving stability are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the storage frame, and rubber pads for improving anti-slip properties are sleeved on the surface of the support feet.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, a handle for easy opening is fixedly installed in the middle of the surface of the sealing plate, and the inside of the handle is provided with a soft pad to improve comfort.

[0012] In one specific embodiment, an observation groove is provided on one side of the surface of the water tank, and a scale plate is embedded inside the observation groove.

[0013] According to a second aspect of this application, an ice-making apparatus is provided, comprising the ice-making components described in any of the above-described technical solutions.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an ice-making component and ice-making equipment, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, a storage frame, a placement frame, a collection component, a water tank, a guide pipe, and an ice maker are used in combination. During use, personnel collect the water from the melting ice using the collection component. After the water is collected, it is transferred to the inside of the water tank. Then, the water tank transfers the water to the ice maker through the guide pipe. The ice maker freezes the transferred water to form ice blocks, thus achieving the function of recycling the water after the ice blocks melt.

[0016] With the collection component designed in this utility model, when ice melts, the water produced will fall downwards through the placement frame and into the collection frame. The filter plate inside the collection frame filters the water, and the filtered water is transmitted to the inside of the transmission pipe through the guide pipe at the output end of the water pump. The water inside the transmission pipe will flow into the inside of the water tank, reducing the waste of water resources. Attached Figure Description
