Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical engineering technology, and specifically relates to a bearing mounting device for an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and assembly of ice makers, the bearing seat is a key component, and its installation accuracy directly affects the stability of the equipment's operation and ice-making efficiency. Traditional installation methods mostly rely on manual positioning and fixing, which suffers from low efficiency, large errors, and high labor intensity. Therefore, there is a need to design a bearing seat installation device with a reasonable structure and simple operation. This device has become an important technical requirement for improving the assembly quality and production efficiency of ice makers.

[0003] In the existing technology, the traditional ice maker usually requires tightening or loosening multiple bolts one by one to install or remove the flip cover, which makes the installation and disassembly process complicated and time-consuming. In addition, in the traditional ice maker design, the rotation angle of the flip cover may wobble or jam due to long-term use, affecting the stability and service life of the equipment.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer surface of the limiting block is fitted with the inner surface of the limiting groove, and the fixing sleeve and the mounting sleeve are rotatably connected, with a bearing sleeve installed at the connection for rotational use.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing components are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the drive shaft, and the mounting sleeve is designed at an angle, with the angle fitting against the surface of the ice maker body.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bolt is threadedly connected to the ice maker body, and the outer surface of the ice maker body is provided with threaded holes for use with the bolt.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment of the present invention provides a shaft mounting device for an ice maker, comprising:

[0028] The ice maker body 100 includes a base column 101, a flip cover 102 movably connected to the outer surface of the ice maker body 100, and a shovel 103 hanging in the inner cavity of the ice maker body 100.

[0029] The splicing mechanism 200 includes a drive shaft 201 fixedly installed on the inner surface of the flip cover 102, a limiting block 202 fixedly connected to both ends of the drive shaft 201, a fixing sleeve 203 that fits against the outer surface of the limiting block 202, a limiting groove 204 formed on the inner surface of the fixing sleeve 203, and a fixing component 205 for supporting the flip cover 102.

[0030] Specifically, the fixing component 205 includes mounting sleeves 205a disposed on both sides of the outer surface of the ice maker body 100, an internal threaded block 205b fixedly connected to the mounting sleeves 205a, and a bolt 205c threadedly connected to the internal threaded block 205b.

[0031] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the outer surface of the ice maker body 100, and the arc-shaped groove slides in contact with the outer surface of the flip cover 102.

[0032] Furthermore, a sealing strip is provided on the outer surface of the flip cover 102, and the sealing strip is in contact with the ice maker body 100.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer surface of the limiting block 202 is fitted with the inner surface of the limiting groove 204, and the fixing sleeve 203 is rotatably connected to the mounting sleeve 205a, with a bearing sleeve installed at the connection point for rotational use.

[0034] The snap-fit ​​design between the limiting block 202 and the limiting groove 204 enables precise positioning of the rotation angle of the flip cover 102, effectively improving its rotation accuracy and opening and closing stability, and avoiding assembly loosening or poor sealing caused by rotation deviation.

[0035] Preferably, the fixing components 205 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the drive shaft 201, and the mounting sleeve 205a is designed at an angle, with the angle fitting against the surface of the ice maker body 100.

[0036] The angled design of the mounting sleeve 205a simplifies the maintenance and disassembly process compared to the traditional installation method that uses multiple bolts for fixing. The angled design of the mounting sleeve 205a fits the surface of the ice maker body 100, which not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also allows users to quickly complete the installation or removal of the fixing components without having to tighten or loosen multiple bolts one by one.

[0037] It should be noted that bolt 205c is threadedly connected to the ice maker body 100, and the outer surface of the ice maker body 100 is provided with threaded holes for use with bolt 205c.

[0038] When the user opens the flip cover 102, the flip cover 102 drives the limiting block 202 to rotate within the fixed sleeve 203 via the drive shaft 201. The limiting block 202 and the limiting groove 204 adopt a snap-fit ​​design, which enables the flip cover 102 to achieve precise rotation angle positioning during opening and closing, effectively improving its rotation accuracy and opening and closing stability, and avoiding assembly loosening or poor sealing problems caused by rotation deviation. At the same time, a bearing sleeve is provided at the connection between the fixed sleeve 203 and the mounting sleeve 205a to ensure the smoothness of the flip cover 102 during rotation, reduce frictional resistance, and improve service life. The outer surface of the flip cover 102 is provided with a sealing strip and is connected to the ice maker. After the main body 100 is fitted together, it forms a good seal, preventing cold air leakage or external dust from entering, maintaining a clean and stable internal environment, and improving ice-making efficiency. The opening and closing movement of the flip cover 102 slides along the arc-shaped groove on the outer surface of the ice maker main body 100, further guiding the flip cover 102 to run smoothly along the set trajectory, reducing shaking and jamming. The fixing component 205 supporting the flip cover 102 includes a mounting sleeve 205a, an internal threaded block 205b, and bolts 205c, symmetrically arranged at both ends of the drive shaft 201. The mounting sleeve 205a is designed at an angle and fits tightly against the surface of the ice maker main body 100, enhancing the adaptability and overall stability of the structure. Compared with the traditional installation method that uses multiple bolts for fixing, the angled design of the mounting sleeve 205a simplifies the maintenance and disassembly process. Users do not need to tighten or loosen multiple bolts 205c one by one to quickly complete the installation or removal of the fixing component 205, improving maintenance efficiency and convenience.

[0039] In summary, the snap-fit ​​design of the limiting block 202 and the limiting groove 204 achieves precise positioning of the rotation angle of the flip cover 102, improving the opening and closing stability and assembly reliability, and avoiding assembly loosening or poor sealing caused by rotation deviation. At the same time, the angled design of the mounting sleeve 205a simplifies the overall maintenance and disassembly process of the equipment. Users can quickly complete the installation or removal of the fixing component 205 without tightening or loosening multiple bolts one by one, improving maintenance efficiency and convenience.
