Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration machine functional structure technology, and in particular to an ice maker with a material drop buffer function. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker with a falling material buffer function refers to a device that slows down the falling speed of ice blocks after ice making, preventing ice blocks from breaking or splashing, and ensuring a stable and efficient ice making process.

[0003] In the existing technology, ice makers with a material drop buffer function use a refrigeration system to condense water into ice on the surface of the evaporator. Once the set thickness is reached, hot air from the compressor is introduced into the evaporator jacket to form a water film for lubrication, allowing the ice blocks to fall freely into the ice storage tank by gravity, reducing impact and breakage.

[0004] However, in existing technologies, some ice makers with material drop buffering functions generate noise and have a high ice breakage rate due to the hard collision between ice blocks and the ice storage box. Therefore, an ice maker with material drop buffering function is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an ice maker with a material feeding buffer function, comprising a refrigeration body, wherein a 30-degree support slide is fixedly connected inside the refrigeration body, and four limiting blocks a are fixedly connected to the top of the 30-degree support slide. Limiting posts a are fixedly connected inside the two pairs of opposing limiting blocks a on the front and rear sides.

Two transmission rods b are rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting posts b. Limiting posts c are rotatably connected inside the two transmission rods b. Two limiting blocks d are rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting posts c. A material receiving damping plate is fixedly connected to the top of the plurality of limiting blocks d.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: both the inner and outer sides of the two limiting posts b are fixedly connected to sliding blocks, the outer sides of the two sliding blocks are slidably connected to a slotted frame, and the inner side of the slotted frame is fixedly connected to a sealed air chamber.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the bottom of the receiving damping plate is fixedly connected to an extrusion block a, the outside of the extrusion block a is slidably connected to the inside of the sealed air chamber, and the top of the 30-degree support slide is fixedly connected to an extrusion block b, the outside of the extrusion block b is slidably connected to the inside of the sealed air chamber.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: an evaporator is fixedly connected inside the refrigeration unit, and a guide plate a is fixedly connected to the bottom of the evaporator. The bottom of the guide plate a is located on the top of the receiving shock-absorbing plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the top of the 30-degree support slide is fixedly connected to a plurality of fixed inclined blocks a, each of the fixed inclined blocks a is provided with a spring, each of the springs is fixedly connected to a fixed inclined block b, each of the fixed inclined blocks b is fixedly connected to a material receiving guide inclined plate, and the top of the material receiving guide inclined plate is located at the lower right of the material receiving damping plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a vibrator is fixedly connected to the top of the receiving guide plate, and multiple discharge holes are opened inside the receiving guide plate;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the right side of the receiving guide inclined plate is slidably connected to the discharge port b, the outside of the discharge port b is fixedly connected to the inside of the refrigeration body, the right side of the 30-degree support slide is slidably connected to the discharge port a, the bottom of the discharge port a is fixedly connected to the guide plate b, and the outside of the discharge port a is fixedly connected to the inside of the refrigeration body.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a receiving box is slidably connected to the right side of the refrigeration body, and two fixing blocks c are fixedly connected to the top of the receiving box. Limiting posts e are fixedly connected inside the two fixing blocks c. A box cover is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting posts e. Multiple bolts b are threadedly connected to the inside of the 30-degree support slide. An L plate is threadedly connected to the outside of the bolts b. Bolts a are threadedly connected to the inside of the L plate. The external threads of the multiple bolts a are connected to the inside of the refrigeration body.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the four-bar linkage mechanism of the ice block contacting the receiving damping plate initiates a buffering action. The transmission rod a and transmission rod b form a cross linkage through the limiting post b, which converts the vertical downward pressure of the receiving damping plate into a horizontal compression motion. The extrusion block a is simultaneously inserted into the sealed air chamber to compress the internal gas. The gas is discharged through the small holes of the slotted frame, generating a reverse damping force. After the ice block slides away from the receiving damping plate, the air pressure in the sealed air chamber rises, pushing the extrusion block a to reset. At the same time, the four-bar linkage mechanism unfolds and returns to its initial position under the elastic potential energy of the transmission rod, thereby greatly reducing the impact force when the ice block falls, reducing ice block breakage, and improving ice block quality.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, after being buffered, the ice block falls onto the receiving guide inclined plate. By starting the vibrator, the whole ice block slides down the receiving guide inclined plate under the vibration. When passing through the discharge hole, the broken ice leaks down from the discharge hole and falls onto the surface of the 30-degree support slide body. It slides into the discharge port a along its inclined angle and is discharged into the independent collection channel through the guide plate b. The inside of the collection box is divided into two areas by the partition, which respectively receive the materials from the discharge port b and the discharge port a, thereby realizing the classified collection of finished products and waste materials.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an ice maker with a material dropping buffer function, comprising a refrigeration body 1. A 30-degree support slide 2 is fixedly connected inside the refrigeration body 1, with an inclination angle of 30 degrees, used to guide the ice blocks to slide smoothly. Four limiting blocks a3 are fixedly connected to the top of the 30-degree support slide 2. The limiting blocks a3 have an L-shaped structure and are used to limit the lateral displacement of the transmission rod a5. Limiting posts a4 are fixedly connected inside the two pairs of opposing limiting blocks a3, serving as the rotation axis of the transmission rod a5. External rotation of the limiting posts a4... There are two transmission rods a5 connected to the sliding block 10. The two transmission rods a5 form a parallelogram structure through the limiting post a4 to realize the vertical displacement transmission. The two transmission rods a5 are rotatably connected to the limiting post b6 inside, which serves as the connection fulcrum of the sliding block 10. The limiting post b6 is rotatably connected to two transmission rods b7 outside. The two transmission rods b7 form a linkage mechanism with the transmission rods a5 through the limiting post b6. The two transmission rods b7 are rotatably connected to the limiting post c8 inside, which serves as the support shaft of the receiving damping plate 15. The limiting post c8 is rotatably connected to two limiting blocks d9 outside.

[0025] Multiple limiting blocks d9 are fixedly connected to the top of receiving damping plates 15 for directly receiving ice blocks falling from the evaporator 16. The bottom of the receiving damping plates 15 is fixedly connected to a compression block a13, which is a cylindrical rubber component. The external part of the compression block a13 is slidably connected to the inside of a sealed gas chamber 12, which is filled with nitrogen gas and dynamically sealed by O-rings. When the compression block a13 is pressed down, the gas compression generates damping force. A compression block b14 is fixedly connected to the top of the 30-degree support slide body 2, and the external part of the compression block b14 slides... Connected inside the sealed air chamber 12, when the receiving damping plate 15 is pressed down, the extrusion block b14 synchronously compresses the sealed air chamber 12, forming a bidirectional damping buffer with the extrusion block a13. An evaporator 16 is fixedly connected inside the refrigeration body 1, and a guide plate a17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the evaporator 16. The guide plate a17 is a 304 stainless steel plate inclined at 15 degrees, used to accurately guide the ice block into the central area of ​​the receiving damping plate 15. Through the above structural cooperation, the impact force when the ice block falls is greatly reduced, ice block breakage is reduced, and ice block quality is improved.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The top of the 30-degree support slide 2 is fixedly connected to multiple fixed inclined blocks a18, which are trapezoidal in structure. Each fixed inclined block a18 has a spring 19 at its top, providing non-linear support force. Each spring 19 has a fixed inclined block b20 at its top, and each fixed inclined block b20 has a receiving guide inclined plate 21 at its top. The top of the receiving guide inclined plate 21 is located to the lower right of the receiving damping plate 15, used to receive the buffered ice blocks and guide them to slide towards the discharge port. A vibrator 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the receiving guide inclined plate 21. Multiple discharge holes 22 are opened inside the receiving guide inclined plate 21, arranged in a honeycomb pattern, used to screen out broken ice and guide whole ice out. A discharge port b25 is slidably connected to the right side of the receiving guide inclined plate 21. When the main discharge port is blocked, the ice blocks can be discharged through the discharge port b25. A discharge port a24 is slidably connected to the right side, and a guide plate b26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port a24 for guiding ice blocks into an external ice storage container. A receiving box 27 is slidably connected to the right side of the refrigeration unit 1. Two fixing blocks c28 are fixedly connected to the top of the receiving box 27. Limiting posts e29 are fixedly connected inside the two fixing blocks c28. The limiting posts e29 are solid stainless steel shafts. A box cover 30 is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting posts e29, and automatic closing is achieved by a torsion spring. Multiple bolts b33 are threadedly connected to the inside of the 30-degree support slide body 2. An L plate 32 is threadedly connected to the outside of the bolts b33. Bolts a31 are threadedly connected to the inside of the L plate 32. The external threads of the multiple bolts a31 are connected to the inside of the refrigeration unit 1. The receiving box 27 and the refrigeration unit 1 can be quickly disassembled and assembled through bolts a31 and bolts b33. Through the cooperation of the above structures, finished products and waste materials can be collected separately.

[0027] Working Principle: The refrigeration unit 1, as the core of the entire ice maker, provides the necessary space and basic environment for the ice-making process. The evaporator 16, fixedly installed inside, is a key component in ice making. Under the action of the refrigeration system, the surface temperature of the evaporator 16 decreases, causing water vapor in the surrounding air to condense into ice. The guide plate a17, fixedly connected to the bottom of the evaporator 16, guides the ice produced on the evaporator 16 to the receiving damping plate 15, ensuring that the ice falls accurately into the subsequent buffer structure, preventing damage or splashing from direct drop. When the ice slides from the guide plate a17 onto the receiving damping plate 15, the receiving damping structure begins to function. The receiving damping plate 15 moves downward under the weight of the ice, causing the pressing block a13 fixedly connected to its bottom to slide downward within the sealed air chamber 12. Due to the sealed air chamber... The gas inside 12 is compressed, generating a reverse force that pushes the extrusion block b14, which is fixed at the top of the 30-degree support slide body 2, upward. At the same time, the movement of the receiving damping plate 15 drives the movement of the limiting column c8 through multiple limiting blocks d9. The limiting column c8 then drives the two transmission rods b7 to rotate. The transmission rods b7 further drive the limiting column b6 to move. The limiting column b6 then drives the two transmission rods a5 to rotate. The transmission rods a5 rotate around the limiting column a4. The limiting column a4 is fixed in two pairs of front and rear opposite limiting blocks a3. The limiting blocks a3 are fixed at the top of the 30-degree support slide body 2, thus forming a complete transmission buffer mechanism. In addition, the sliding blocks 10, which are fixed inside and outside the two limiting columns b6, slide in the slotted frame 11 to further assist in buffering and reduce the impact force on the receiving damping plate 15 when the ice falls, protecting the integrity of the equipment and the ice.

[0028] After being buffered, the ice slides onto the receiving guide ramp 21. Multiple fixed ramps a18 at the top of the 30-degree support slide 2, with springs 19 at their tops and fixed ramps b20 at their tops, work together to provide elastic support for the receiving guide ramp 21. When the ice falls onto the receiving guide ramp 21, the springs 19 further buffer the impact of the ice, allowing the receiving guide ramp 21 to self-adapt to a certain extent according to the weight and impact of the ice. The vibrator 23 fixed at the top of the receiving guide ramp 21 starts working, generating vibration that facilitates the ice's smooth passage through the multiple discharge holes 22 inside the receiving guide ramp 21. Part of the falling ice passes through the discharge outlet slidably connected to the right side of the receiving guide ramp 21. One part slides out through outlet b25, while the other part slides out through outlet a24, which is slidably connected to the right side of the 30-degree support slide body 2. The guide plate b26, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of outlet a24, further guides the ice sliding out of outlet a24, ensuring that the ice can fall accurately into the collecting device. The collecting box 27, which is slidably connected to the right side of the refrigeration body 1, is used to collect the ice sliding out from outlet a24 and outlet b25. The two fixed blocks c28 fixed on the top of the collecting box 27 are internally fixedly connected to the limiting post e29. The box cover 30, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting post e29, can easily open and close the collecting box 27, making it easy to take out the collected ice. When the collecting box 27 is full of ice, it can be slid out from the right side of the refrigeration body 1 for subsequent packaging or use.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
