Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an ice-making device, and more particularly to an ice-making bucket. Background Technology

[0002] How an ice maker works: The refrigeration system continuously circulates refrigerant, maintaining a low temperature inside the ice maker, allowing water to freeze into ice. Simultaneously, devices such as a defrosting solenoid valve allow ice to detach from the ice maker for easy collection and use.

[0003] The working pressure of the inner tube of the ice maker is 10 MPa. The existing inner tube is severely deformed after long-term operation, which affects its use. In order to ensure that it does not deform, a high-strength material needs to be used, which leads to higher costs and may even affect the cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides an ice bucket, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0005] An ice-making bucket includes an outer tube and an inner tube arranged coaxially, and further includes a helical spring disposed on the outer wall of the inner tube.

[0006] Preferably, the distance between the two ends of the helical spring and the two ends of the inner tube is 7 mm.

[0007] Preferably, the coil spring has a wire diameter of 1.8 mm and an effective number of coils of 25.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] The present invention provides an ice bucket that increases strength by using a helical spring on the outer wall of the inner tube without changing the material of the existing inner tube, thus ensuring both pressure resistance and cooling effect. Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this application;

[0011] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the concealed outer tube in this application;

[0012] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an ice bucket includes an outer tube 11, an inner tube 12, and a helical spring 2. The outer tube 11 is sleeved on the inner tube 12 and coaxially arranged. The helical spring 2 is fixed to the outer wall of the inner tube 12. The helical spring 2 can be fixed to the outer wall of the inner tube 12 by copper brazing.

[0015] The distance between the two ends of the helical spring 2 and the two ends of the inner tube 12 is 7mm.

[0016] The coil spring 2 has a wire diameter of 1.8mm and an effective number of 25 coils.

[0017] The inner diameter of the inner tube 12 is 60.4 mm, and the wall thickness of the inner tube is 0.8 mm.

[0018] After pressurizing the ice bucket, the pressure will expand from the inner wall of the inner tube 12 to the outer wall. At the same time as the pressure expands, the spiral spring 2 on the outer wall of the inner tube 12 will provide an inward supporting force to prevent the inner tube 12 from deforming. At this time, the product can fully withstand the 10 MPa pressure and can work normally and pass the durability test smoothly. Under normal working conditions, it has no impact on the cooling effect.

[0019] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
