Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ice maker technology, specifically relating to an ice maker sealing device with a limiting buffer effect. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a device that freezes water into ice cubes using a refrigeration system. It mainly consists of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, control system, and ice storage device. Its working principle involves the refrigerant circulating and absorbing heat, causing the surface temperature of the evaporator to drop below the freezing point. The water in contact with the evaporator gradually freezes, and the ice cubes are then released through a demolding mechanism. Widely used in catering, medical, and food processing industries, ice makers can be categorized by their ice-making method into cube ice makers, flake ice makers, and granule ice makers. They are characterized by high efficiency, energy saving, and a high degree of automation.

[0003] During long-term opening and closing, the hinged parts of the sealing cover of an ice maker are prone to wear due to repeated friction. This wear will reduce the positioning accuracy of the sealing cover, resulting in a positional shift when it is closed. When the sealing cover shifts, it will directly affect its fit with the main body of the ice maker, ultimately reducing the sealing effect. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. 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 Figure 1-5 This embodiment of the present invention provides an ice maker sealing device with a limiting buffer effect, comprising:

[0028] Ice-making mechanism 100 includes an ice maker body 110, a door frame 120 fixedly installed on the surface of the ice maker body 110, and a sealing cover 130 hinged to the surface of the door frame 120 for sealing the interior of the ice maker body 110.

[0029] The limiting and buffering mechanism 200 includes a limiting component 210 for limiting the sealing cover 130 when it is closed, and a plurality of buffering components 220 for buffering the sealing cover 130.

[0030] The cooperation between the limiting component 210 and the buffer component 220 provides limiting and buffering effects when the sealing cover 130 is closed, which solves the problem of displacement or deformation of the sealing cover 130 caused by long-term frequent opening and closing in the traditional structure, thereby avoiding the decline in sealing performance and improving the sealing effect of the sealing cover 130 on the internal space of the ice maker body 110.

[0031] Specifically, the surface of the door frame 120 is provided with a sealing protrusion 140, and the side of the sealing cover 130 that contacts the door frame 120 is provided with a sealing groove 150 that is used in conjunction with the sealing protrusion 140.

[0032] The sealing ridge 140 and the sealing groove 150 work together to improve the sealing between the sealing cover 130 and the door frame 120, preventing impurities and flying insects from entering the interior of the ice maker body 110.

[0033] Furthermore, the limiting component 210 includes two limiting protrusions 211 fixedly installed on the surface of the door frame 120 for limiting the sealing cover 130, and two limiting grooves 212 opened on one side of the sealing cover 130 and used in conjunction with the limiting protrusions 211.

[0034] The limiting protrusion 211 and the limiting groove 212 are matched in size. The cooperation between the limiting protrusion 211 and the limiting groove 212 is used to limit the sealing cover 130 when it is closed, so as to prevent the sealing cover 130 from shifting and causing the sealing protrusion 140 to not be fully engaged in the interior of the sealing groove 150, which would result in a decrease in the internal sealing performance of the ice maker body 110.

[0035] Preferably, the limiting component 210 further includes two first magnetic blocks 213 embedded in the surface of the door frame 120, and two second magnetic blocks 214 embedded in one side of the sealing cover 130 and used in conjunction with the first magnetic blocks 213.

[0036] The two first magnetic blocks 213 correspond to the two second magnetic blocks 214 respectively. When the sealing cover 130 is closed, the first magnetic blocks 213 and the second magnetic blocks 214 can be magnetically attracted together. Through the cooperation between the first magnetic blocks 213 and the second magnetic blocks 214, the sealing cover 130 is magnetically limited when closed, thereby improving the stability of the sealing cover 130 when closed.

[0037] Furthermore, the buffer component 220 includes a buffer layer 221 disposed on the surface of the door frame 120 for buffering when the sealing cover 130 is closed, and a protective layer 222 disposed on the surface of the buffer layer 221.

[0038] The buffer layer 221 and the protective layer 222 work together to buffer the sealing cover 130 when it is closed, preventing the sealing cover 130 from colliding strongly with the door frame 120, which would cause the sealing cover 130 to deform slightly and reduce the sealing performance of the sealing cover 130 to the inside of the ice maker body 110.

[0039] Specifically, the buffer layer 221 is bonded to the surface of the door frame 120 with a curing adhesive, and the buffer layer 221 and the protective layer 222 are bonded together with glue.

[0040] Furthermore, the buffer layer 221 is specifically made of polyurethane rubber, and the protective layer 222 is made of foamed rubber.

[0041] Among them, the buffer layer 221 has good buffering performance and effectively buffers the impact when the sealing cover 130 is closed, while the porous structure of the protective layer 222 absorbs the impact energy and plays a protective role for the sealing cover 130.

[0042] When in use, the fit between the limiting protrusion 211 and the limiting groove 212 can be used to limit the sealing cover 130 when it is closed, so as to prevent it from shifting and causing a decrease in the internal sealing of the ice maker body 110.

[0043] The cooperation between the buffer layer 221 and the protective layer 222 can be used to buffer the sealing cover 130 when it is closed, preventing the sealing cover 130 from colliding strongly with the door frame 120, causing the sealing cover 130 to deform slightly and reduce the sealing performance of the sealing cover 130 to the inside of the ice maker body 110.

[0044] In summary, the cooperation between the limiting component 210 and the buffer component 220 provides limiting and buffering effects when the sealing cover 130 is closed, which solves the problem of displacement or deformation of the sealing cover 130 caused by long-term frequent opening and closing in the traditional structure, thereby avoiding the resulting decrease in sealing performance and improving the sealing effect of the sealing cover 130 on the internal space of the ice maker body 110.
