Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, and more specifically, to an embedded ice maker descaling and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of living standards, ice makers, as common refrigeration appliances, have gradually entered homes. Ice makers are generally installed in the kitchen, and for aesthetic reasons and to maintain a cohesive kitchen look, they are usually embedded in the cabinet, with only the front of the door exposed. After a period of use, scale will build up in the internal water tank and pipes, requiring regular cleaning. Currently, the method for descaling requires removing the front panel of the ice maker, adding descaling agent to the water tank, activating the descaling mode, and the ice maker automatically descaling. After descaling, the front panel can be reinstalled. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Furthermore, for some special models of built-in ice makers, there is no front panel; the front of the inner liner is entirely a refrigerator compartment, while the rear contains the water tank, compressor, and other ice-making components. When descaling is needed, the built-in ice maker must be pulled out of the cabinet, the back panel opened, and descaling agent added to the water tank. This process is even more cumbersome and may potentially damage the cabinet.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an embedded ice maker descaling and cleaning device, aiming to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0005] An embedded ice maker descaling and cleaning device includes a first water pipe, the first end of which is connected to the top of the water tank of the ice maker, a through hole is provided on the rear wall of the inner liner of the ice maker, the second end of the first water pipe is connected to the rear side of the through hole, and an openable cover is provided on the front side of the through hole.
[0006] The device also includes a second water pipe and a water collection cover. The second water pipe is L-shaped and consists of a horizontal pipe and a vertical pipe. The open end of the horizontal pipe can be detachably inserted into the through hole. The water collection cover is funnel-shaped and installed at the open end of the vertical pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the length of the horizontal tube is greater than the depth of the ice maker's inner liner.
[0008] Preferably, the horizontal tube is provided with a buckle, on which a first magnetic component is fixedly installed, and a second magnetic component is pre-embedded in the upper wall of the inner liner of the ice maker. The first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can magnetically attract each other.
[0009] Preferably, the first water pipe is a flexible hose.
[0010] Preferably, the second water pipe is a rigid pipe.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This utility model discloses an embedded ice maker descaling and cleaning device that does not require disassembly of the ice maker when removing scale. The device is reasonably designed, simple in structure, safe and reliable, easy to use and maintain, and has great potential for widespread application. Attached Figure Description
[0013] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.
[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the device of this utility model.
[0015] In the diagram: 1. Through hole; 2. Water collection cover; 3. Horizontal pipe; 4. Vertical pipe; 5. First magnetic component; 6. Second magnetic component. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of this utility model provides an embedded ice maker descaling and cleaning device. The device includes a first water pipe (not shown in the figure), which is a flexible hose. The first end of the first water pipe is connected to the top of the water tank of the ice maker. The rear wall of the inner liner of the ice maker is provided with a through hole 1. The second end of the first water pipe is connected to the rear side of the through hole 1. The front side of the through hole 1 is provided with an openable cover. Specifically, the cover is installed on the front side of the through hole 1 by a snap-fit.
[0019] The device also includes a second water pipe and a water collection cover 2. The second water pipe is a rigid pipe, L-shaped, consisting of a horizontal pipe 3 and a vertical pipe 4. The water collection cover 2 is funnel-shaped and installed at the open end of the vertical pipe 4.
[0020] When it is necessary to descale the water tank and its pipes of the ice maker, first open the cover, then insert the open end of the horizontal pipe 3 into the through hole 1. The length of the horizontal pipe 3 is greater than the depth of the ice maker's inner tank, so that the vertical pipe 4 can extend forward into the ice maker's inner tank. Then add descaling agent through the water collection cover 2, and finally start the ice maker's descaling mode.
[0021] Furthermore, the horizontal pipe 3 is equipped with a buckle, on which a first magnetic component 5 is fixedly installed. A second magnetic component 6 is pre-embedded in the upper wall of the inner liner of the ice maker. The first magnetic component 5 and the second magnetic component 6 can magnetically attract each other. This ensures the stability of the second water pipe when adding descaling agent.
[0022] After descaling is complete, separate the first magnetic component 5 and the second magnetic component 6, and then pull the open end of the horizontal tube 3 out of the through hole.
[0023] In summary, the embedded ice maker descaling and cleaning device described in this embodiment of the present invention does not require disassembly of the ice maker when removing scale. The device is reasonably designed, simple in structure, safe and reliable, easy to use and maintain, and has great potential for widespread application.
[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
