Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration technology, specifically to a cooling structure for an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] A cooling structure for an ice maker, disclosed in CN222352609U, includes a heat-conducting plate. A heat dissipation mechanism is located on the top wall of the heat-conducting plate, and an air-guiding mechanism is installed within the heat dissipation mechanism. The heat dissipation mechanism includes a set of three heat-conducting pipes fixedly connected to the top wall of the heat-conducting plate. These three heat-conducting pipes are arranged at equal intervals from front to back, and each pipe is U-shaped with a copper base welded to its central top. This invention utilizes three U-shaped heat-conducting pipes welded at equal intervals from front to back on the top of the heat-conducting plate. Each heat-conducting pipe has a copper base welded to its top, and multiple heat dissipation fins are provided at the top of the copper base and both ends of the U-shaped heat-conducting pipes. The heat is quickly dissipated through the heat dissipation fins on both sides and in the middle of the heat-conducting plate after being directed to the heat-conducting plate, thus preventing heat accumulation on the heat-conducting plate.

[0003] Although this ice maker cooling structure technology can handle the heat accumulation of the heat-conducting plate, the defects it brings are also more obvious. For example, when the heat-conducting plate inside the cooling structure is replaced during the use of the ice maker cooling structure, the replacement process is more complicated, which affects the maintenance efficiency of the cooling structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cooling structure for an ice maker, which solves the problem that the replacement process for the heat-conducting fins inside the cooling structure is cumbersome and affects the maintenance efficiency of the cooling structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cooling structure for an ice maker, including a cooling pipe, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the cooling pipe, a heat sink threadedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, positioning components snapped into both sides of the heat sink, and fixing bolts passing through the surface of the connecting plate in an annular array of equidistant threads.

[0006] In one specific embodiment, the positioning component includes a grooved plate that snaps onto the top surface of the heat sink, a positioning bolt is threadedly connected to the top of the grooved plate, and support blocks are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the surface of the grooved plate. The top of the support blocks is provided with threaded holes that are adapted to the positioning bolts.

[0007] In one specific embodiment, a delivery pipe is inserted into the middle of the surface of the cooling pipe, and a control valve is inserted into the middle of the surface of the delivery pipe.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, a connecting block is fixedly installed in the middle of the surface of the groove plate, and a support rod is fixedly connected in the middle of the surface of the connecting block.

[0009] In one specific embodiment, a gasket is provided at the bottom of the positioning bolt, and the gasket is made of rubber.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the outer surface of the heat sink is coated with an anti-oxidation coating, and through grooves are provided on both sides of the surface of the heat sink.

[0011] In one specific embodiment, the diameter of the through groove is adapted to the diameter of the cooling pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cooling structure for an ice maker, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In the technical solution disclosed in this utility model, by utilizing the cooperation between the positioning component and the heat sink, when personnel need to replace the heat sink individually, they can loosen the fixing bolt to remove the connecting piece, then loosen the positioning bolt to open the groove plate, and then pull out the support block to remove it from inside the heat sink, thereby facilitating the quick replacement of the heat sink.

[0014] The present invention provides a cooling pipe with a delivery pipe inserted in the middle of its surface, and a control valve inserted in the middle of the delivery pipe. When the heat sink is in use, the cooling pipe can deliver air to the surface of the heat sink, and the delivery pipe can accelerate the delivery of air to the cooling pipe, thereby accelerating the cooling effect of the heat sink.

[0022] Figures 1-4 As an embodiment of the present invention, a cooling structure for an ice maker includes a cooling pipe 1, a connecting plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the cooling pipe 1, a heat sink 3 threadedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 2, positioning components 4 snapped onto both sides of the heat sink 3, and fixing bolts 5 passing through the surface of the connecting plate 2 in an annular array of equidistant threads.

[0023] The specific problem addressed in this embodiment is the cumbersome replacement process of the heat-conducting fins inside the cooling structure of an ice maker, which affects the maintenance efficiency of the cooling structure. This invention utilizes the cooperative use of the positioning component 4 and the heat sink 3. When a single heat sink 3 needs to be replaced, the operator can loosen the fixing bolt 5 to remove the connecting plate 2, then loosen the positioning bolt 42 to open the groove plate 41, and subsequently pull out the support block 43 from inside the heat sink 3. This facilitates quick and easy replacement of the heat sink 3.

[0024] The positioning component 4 includes a grooved plate 41 that snaps onto the top surface of the heat sink 3. A positioning bolt 42 is threadedly connected to the top of the grooved plate 41. Support blocks 43 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the surface of the grooved plate 41. A threaded hole is opened on the top of the support block 43, and the threaded hole is adapted to the positioning bolt 42. In this specific embodiment, a delivery pipe 6 is inserted into the middle of the surface of the cooling pipe 1, and a control valve 7 is inserted into the middle of the surface of the delivery pipe 6. During the use of the heat sink 3, the cooling pipe 1 can deliver air to the surface of the heat sink 3, and then the delivery pipe 6 can accelerate the delivery of air by the cooling pipe 1, thereby accelerating the cooling effect of the heat sink 3.

[0025] In this specific embodiment, a connecting block 8 is fixedly installed in the middle of the surface of the groove plate 41, and a support rod 9 is fixedly connected in the middle of the surface of the connecting block 8. Through the setting of the connecting block 8 and the support rod 9, when personnel need to support the heat sink 3, it is convenient for personnel to raise the support of the heat sink 3. A gasket is set at the bottom of the positioning bolt 42. The stability of the positioning bolt 42 is improved by the setting of the gasket. The gasket is made of rubber. The outer surface of the heat sink 3 is coated with an anti-oxidation coating. Through grooves are opened on both sides of the surface of the heat sink 3. The diameter of the through grooves is adapted to the diameter of the cooling pipe 1.
