A water injection component is mounted on the support, and an ice-making component is mounted inside the support. A storage box for holding ice blocks is mounted below the ice-making component on the support. A partition plate is provided inside the storage box, dividing the interior of the storage box into an ice storage area and an ice delivery area. A bottom plate is slidably mounted in the ice storage area, and a through hole is opened on the bottom plate. A baffle is rotatably mounted at the through hole. A cylinder is mounted on the outer wall of the support, and a drive plate is connected to the top of the piston rod of the cylinder. The storage box has... The ice storage area has a through groove. One end of the drive plate extends into the ice storage area through the through groove and is connected to the bottom plate. A transfer plate is provided in the ice delivery area. One end of the transfer plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box via a rotating rod. A guide block is provided in the ice delivery area directly below the transfer plate. A through guide hole is provided on the guide block. An opening communicating with the ice delivery area is provided on the side of the storage box away from the partition plate. A stop block is rotatably provided at the opening. A guide block is provided above the storage box in the ice delivery area. An ice delivery channel is formed between the lower side of the guide block and the upper side of the partition plate. A baffle is rotatably provided below the guide block.
[0007] Preferably, the driving plate is provided with a cylinder two at one end in the ice storage area, the piston rod of the cylinder two is provided with a support plate, a rotating plate is rotatably provided on the support plate, the end of the rotating plate away from the support plate is rotatably connected to the baffle, and the cylinder two is covered with a protective shell.
[0008] Preferably, the base has a transfer cavity located directly below the ice storage area of the storage box. A filter plate is installed on the transfer cavity, and several sets of through slots are opened on the filter plate. Heating wires are embedded in the inner wall of the through slots. A flow pipe is provided on the outside of the bracket and communicates with the inside of the transfer cavity.
[0009] Preferably, the bracket is provided with a first motor and a second motor. The output shaft of the first motor is connected to the first rotating rod.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a partition plate inside the storage box, the internal space of the storage box is divided into an ice storage area and an ice delivery area. The ice storage area and the ice delivery area are connected by an ice delivery channel. The ice delivery area has an independent opening and a baffle. When taking ice, only a small amount of ice blocks to be taken in the ice delivery area are exposed. Compared with the prior art, this utility model avoids the entire ice storage area being exposed to the external environment, which greatly reduces the risk of contamination of the edible ice blocks in the storage box. At the same time, when cleaning the edible ice blocks in the ice storage area, a cylinder can push the plate to slide so that the baffle does not block the through hole, allowing the edible ice blocks on the bottom plate to fall through the through hole onto the filter plate below the bottom plate. There is no need for personnel to manually reach into the support to pick out and clean the edible ice blocks, which reduces the amount of cleaning work and reduces certain safety hazards.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a refrigeration device for edible ice includes a base 1 and a support 2 mounted thereon. A water injection component is mounted on the support 2. An ice-making component 3 is located at the upper end of the support 2. A storage box 4 for holding ice is located directly below the ice-making component 3 inside the support 2. The storage box 4 has a through-type vertical design. A partition 5 is vertically mounted inside the storage box 4, dividing the interior of the storage box 4 into an ice storage area 6 and an ice delivery area 7. A guide block 20 with a triangular cross-section is located above the ice delivery area at the upper end of the storage box 4, and an ice delivery channel 21 is formed between the lower side of the guide block 20 and the upper side of the partition 5. A bottom plate 8 is horizontally mounted inside the ice storage area 6, and the bottom plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ice storage area 6. A cylinder 11 is installed on the outer wall of the storage box 4. The piston rod of the cylinder 11 is connected to an L-shaped drive plate 12. A through groove 13 communicating with the ice storage area 6 is opened on the side wall of the storage box 4. One end of the drive plate 12 extends into the ice storage area 6 through the through groove 13 and is connected to the lower side of the bottom plate 8. An opening 18 (not shown in the attached figure) is also opened on the outer wall of the support 2, which is opposite to the through groove 13. The size of the opening 18 is the same as that of the through groove 13. A protective shell 33 is installed on the support 2 at the opening 18. The end of the drive plate 12 located outside the support 2 is covered inside the protective shell 33. Insulation cotton (not shown in the attached figure) is installed on the inner wall of the protective shell 33. The purpose is to prevent too much cold air in the ice storage area 6 from flowing out through the opening 18.
[0024] The base plate 8 has through holes 9 on its left and right sides, and a baffle 10 is rotatably installed at the through hole 9. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the two sets of baffles 10 are connected to the bottom plate 8 at opposite ends. A cylinder 23 is installed at one end of the driving plate 12 located in the ice storage area 6. A support plate 24 is horizontally installed at the top of the piston rod of the cylinder 23. A rotating plate 25 is rotatably installed on the support plate 24. The end of the rotating plate 25 away from the support plate 24 is connected to the lower side of the baffle 10. The rotating plates 25 are arranged in a left-right opposite manner. The two sets of rotating plates 25 are respectively connected to the two sets of baffles 10. Personnel can set multiple sets of left-right opposite rotating plates 25 on the support plate 24 according to the actual situation. A protective shell 26 is installed on the outside of the cylinder 23.
[0025] A transfer chamber 27 is provided on the base 1 directly below the ice storage area 6 of the storage box 4. A filter plate 28 is provided on the transfer chamber 27. Several sets of through grooves 29 are provided on the filter plate 28. A heating wire (not shown in the attached figure) is embedded in the inner wall of the through groove 29. The purpose is to heat the ice to melt it into water. A flow pipe 30 is provided on the outside of the bracket 2 and connects to the inside of the transfer chamber 27.
[0026] Below the guide block 20, a baffle plate 22 is rotatably connected via a rotating rod 2. The length of the baffle plate 22 is designed so that when it is rotated around the central axis of the rotating rod 2, it can block the ice delivery channel 21. Inside the ice delivery area 7, directly below the baffle plate 22, a transfer plate 14 is provided. One end of the transfer plate 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 4 via a rotating rod 15. Directly below the transfer plate 14, a guide block 16 is provided, and a through guide hole 17 is provided on the guide block 16. It should be noted that... The guide hole 17 is a funnel-shaped structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom, which makes it convenient for personnel to collect ice blocks from below. An opening 18 is provided on the lower right side of the storage box 4 away from the partition plate 5, which is connected to the ice delivery area 7. A stop 19 is rotatably installed at the opening 18, and the inner wall of the stop 19 is also lined with insulation cotton (not shown in the attached figure). Motor 1 31 and Motor 2 32 are installed on the outside of the bracket 2. The output shaft of Motor 1 31 is connected to Rotary Rod 1 15, and the output shaft of Motor 2 32 is connected to Rotary Rod 2.
[0027] An observation window 34 is embedded on the outer wall of the support 2 on the side facing the ice delivery area 7. The height of the observation window 34 is above the guide block 20. Its purpose is to facilitate personnel to view the situation inside the support 2.
[0028] It should be noted that both the water injection component and the ice-making component 3 employ the technical equipment commonly used by those skilled in the art.
[0029] When ice is not being removed, cylinder 23 is in the extended state, and the two sets of baffles 10 are parallel to the bottom plate 8, blocking the through hole 9. The ice made by the ice-making component 3 will fall onto the bottom plate 8. The baffle 22 is in the state of blocking the ice delivery channel 21. The transfer plate 14 is set parallel to the ice delivery area 7. When there are no ice blocks to be cleaned on the filter plate 28, the heating wire is in the off state.
[0030] When edible ice is needed, place the storage container directly below the guide hole 17 of the guide block 16. First, cylinder 11 retracts, pulling the drive plate 12 upward. The upward movement of the drive plate 12 simultaneously moves the base plate 8 upward, and the ice on the base plate 8 also moves upward. Motor 2 32 reverses and starts, moving the shielding plate 22 away from the ice delivery channel 21, so that it does not block the ice delivery channel 21. During the process of the base plate 8 moving the ice upward, some ice will fall through the ice delivery channel 21 onto the transfer plate 14 in the ice delivery area 7. When it falls to a certain extent, cylinder 11 extends. The system moves the base plate 8 downwards and resets, and the second motor 32 starts rotating forward, causing the shielding plate 22 to move closer to the ice delivery channel 21. This pushes excess ice on the transfer plate 14 back into the ice storage area 6 on the base plate 8, then shields the ice delivery channel 21. The first motor 31 then starts rotating in reverse, and the transfer plate 14 begins to rotate, causing the ice on it to fall into the guide block 16. The ice is then guided through the guide hole 17 of the guide block 16 into the storage container, preventing personnel from opening the storage box 4 to directly take out the edible ice and reducing the contamination of the edible ice in the storage box 4 by the external environment.
[0031] When it is necessary to clean the ice on the bottom plate 8 in the ice storage area 6, firstly, cylinder 23 is activated to retract, which drives the rotating plate 25 to pull the baffle 10 to rotate around its central axis at the connection point with the bottom plate 8. This causes the ice on the bottom plate 8 to fall through the through hole 9 onto the filter plate 28. The heating wire in the filter groove on the filter plate 28 begins to heat and melt the ice, causing the ice to melt into water and enter the transfer chamber 27, and then flow out through the flow pipe 30. This avoids the problem of ice directly outputting and easily blocking the flow pipe 30, and at the same time, it eliminates the need for personnel to manually enter the support 2 to clean the ice.
[0032] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
