Abstract

This utility model discloses an ice tray for a small cubic ice-spraying ice-making machine that facilitates ice removal. The tray includes a main body with multiple horizontal and vertical partitions arranged intersectingly on its inner side. Ice bridge grooves are formed between the upper ends of the partitions and the main body. A ring of plastic parts is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body. Through this structure, the horizontal and vertical partitions divide the ice into individual small blocks, while the ice bridge grooves connect these individual ice blocks into a single unit. This allows the ice blocks to fall as a whole during removal, enabling rapid ice removal while simultaneously breaking into individual small ice pieces upon impact. Furthermore, the plastic parts surrounding the metal parts prevent water sprayed onto the surface of the ice tray from freezing on the outside, thus preventing ineffective ice formation that could hinder the smooth removal of ice blocks after ice making.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ice machine accessories, and in particular to a small cube ice block spray ice tray for an ice machine that facilitates ice removal. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that produces ice by cooling water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system. Because conventional spray ice trays use relatively large ice blocks with rounded edges so that they can be easily detached after ice making, and the ice blocks are relatively independent and need to fall one by one, smaller ice blocks are not as easy to detach independently due to their small size and light weight. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a small cube ice block spray ice plate for an ice maker that is easy to remove ice from, so that the water sprayed on the surface of the ice plate will not freeze on the outside of the ice plate, thereby preventing these invalid ice blocks from affecting the smooth removal of ice blocks after ice making.

[0004] This utility model also provides an ice tray for an ice maker with a small cube-shaped ice block spraying system that facilitates ice removal, comprising an ice tray body, wherein multiple horizontal and vertical partitions are respectively arranged crosswise on the inner side of the ice tray body, and ice bridge grooves are provided between the upper ends of the horizontal and vertical partitions and the ice tray body, and a ring of plastic parts is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ice tray body.

[0005] According to the present invention, the ice tray of the small cube ice block spray ice maker that facilitates ice removal has a base fixedly connected to the lower end of the ice tray body.

[0006] According to the ice tray of the small cube ice block spray ice maker that facilitates ice removal described in this utility model, a plurality of first clamping grooves are evenly arranged on the inner side of the transverse partition.

[0007] According to the ice tray of the small cube ice block spray ice maker that facilitates ice removal described in this utility model, a plurality of second clamping grooves are evenly arranged on the inner side of the vertical partition.

[0008] According to the ice tray of the small cube ice block spray ice maker that facilitates ice removal described in this utility model, a first connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the transverse partition, and a first locking hole is provided between the first connecting rod and the ice tray body.

[0009] According to the ice tray of the small cube ice block spray ice maker that facilitates ice removal described in this utility model, a second connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical partition, and a second locking hole is provided between the second connecting rod and the ice tray body.

[0010] Beneficial effects:

[0011] The ice is divided into individual small blocks by horizontal and vertical dividers in the ice tray, while ice bridge grooves on the surface connect these individual ice blocks into a whole. This allows the ice to fall as a single, continuous block during removal, enabling rapid removal while simultaneously breaking into individual small ice pieces upon impact. Additionally, the plastic components surrounding the metal parts prevent water sprayed onto the ice tray from freezing on the outside, thus preventing this unused ice from hindering the smooth removal of the ice blocks after ice making.

[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-7 The present invention relates to a small cube ice block spray ice maker ice tray for easy ice removal, which includes an ice tray body 1. Multiple horizontal partitions 3 and vertical partitions 5 are arranged crosswise on the inner side of the ice tray body 1. An ice bridge groove 11 is provided between the upper end of the horizontal partitions 3 and vertical partitions 5 and the ice tray body 1. A ring of plastic parts 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ice tray body 1.

[0024] Specifically, the ice bridge grooves 11 on the surface connect the individual ice blocks into a whole, so that when the ice is removed, the ice blocks fall as a whole at once, which can remove the ice quickly and break into individual small ice blocks after falling.

[0025] The base 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the ice tray body 1.

[0026] Multiple first clamping grooves 4 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the transverse spacer 3.

[0027] Multiple second clamping grooves 6 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the vertical spacer 5.

[0028] Specifically, the first locking groove 4 and the second locking groove 6 are locked together.

[0029] A first connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the crossbar 3, and a first locking hole 9 is provided between the first connecting rod 7 and the ice tray body 1.

[0030] Specifically, the first connecting rod 7 is used to install the crossbar 3.

[0031] A second connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical partition 5, and a second locking hole 10 is provided between the second connecting rod 8 and the ice tray body 1.

[0032] Specifically, the second connecting rod 8 is used to install and clamp the vertical spacer 5.

[0033] Working principle: Water is poured into the ice tray body 1. The horizontal and vertical partitions 3 and 5 inside the ice tray body 1 separate the ice into individual small pieces. At the same time, the ice bridge grooves 11 on the surface connect the individual ice pieces into a whole, so that the ice pieces fall as a whole at once when the ice is removed. This allows for quick ice removal and also breaks into individual small ice pieces after falling. Meanwhile, the plastic parts 12 around the metal parts prevent water sprayed on the surface of the ice tray from freezing on the outside of the ice tray body 1. This prevents the invalid ice from affecting the smooth removal of ice pieces after ice making. Furthermore, the first connecting rod 7 and the second connecting rod 8 facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the horizontal and vertical partitions 3 and 5.

[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
