[0002] Existing water purifiers have relatively limited functions, with most only offering purification capabilities. However, with continuous technological advancements and unprecedented improvements in modern living standards, people are placing higher demands on the details of daily life. This has led to increased expectations for the functionality of water purifiers. Consequently, machines that integrate heating and cooling functions are becoming increasingly popular. In the hot summer, ice makers have become indispensable household appliances for many, providing not only cold drinks and ice cream but also helping people cool down and beat the heat.

[0003] Traditional water purifiers mostly only have filtration, heating, and ice water functions. There are also water purifiers with a traditional bullet-shaped ice cube module. In this type of machine, the ice cube making and ice water are made using the same refrigeration system and cannot be switched. In addition, the made ice cubes will fall into the ice box, and you have to open the box to manually take out the ice when you need it. When taking out the ice cubes, your hands can easily touch the ice cubes, which can cause ice contamination. The ice water after the ice cubes melt will flow into the ice chamber. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of existing water purifiers, which mostly only have filtration, heating, and ice water functions. Water purifiers with ice-making functions use the same refrigeration system for ice cubes and ice water, making it impossible to switch between them. In addition, the ice cubes fall into the ice box, and ice cubes need to be manually removed from the box when needed. This process can easily contaminate the ice cubes. Therefore, this invention provides a multi-functional water purifier that makes ice, refrigerates, and heats.

[0007] Furthermore, the ice-retrieving system includes an electromagnet and an ice outlet switch bracket; the electromagnet is installed outside the ice storage cylinder and is located near the ice outlet, the ice outlet switch bracket is sleeved inside the ice outlet bracket, the ice outlet bracket is connected to the side wall of the ice storage cylinder, the electromagnet drives the ice outlet switch bracket to rotate, and an ice block baffle is provided at the end of the ice outlet switch bracket.

[0008] Furthermore, pins are provided on both sides of the bottom of the electromagnet, and the pins pass through the V-shaped groove on the side of the ice outlet switch bracket and are inserted into the support frame of the ice outlet bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the ice block baffle is inclined toward the inside of the ice storage cylinder, and a silicone pad is provided on the ice block baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the ice storage cylinder is wrapped with insulating cotton, and an ice block probe is provided on the circumferential side wall of the ice storage cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the ice-making and refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, an ice-making assembly, a two-position three-way switching valve, an ice-making balance water tank, and a drain solenoid valve; the refrigeration system controls the flow of refrigerant through the two-position three-way switching valve, switching between ice-making and ice-making water functions, and the ice-making balance water tank is connected to the evaporator of the ice maker to replenish water to the evaporator in real time.

[0014] This utility model has a motor installed at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder. The motor drives the rotating disk at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder to rotate the ice blocks, preventing the ice blocks from clumping on the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder and accelerating the flow of the ice blocks.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, provides a more detailed explanation of this utility model. The specific embodiments described are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0017] Specific implementation method one: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment explains that traditional water purifiers mostly only have filtration, heating, and ice water functions. Some also have modules with traditional bullet-shaped ice cubes. In these types of machines, the ice cube making and ice water use the same refrigeration system and cannot be switched. Furthermore, the made ice cubes fall into an ice box, which must be opened manually to remove ice when needed. Manual ice removal is cumbersome and unhygienic, requiring the machine to be opened and ice cubes scooped out each time. In public places, this involves direct or indirect contact with ice, causing hygiene problems. Therefore, automatic ice dispensing effectively solves these issues. In traditional ice-water systems, the ice cubes and ice water are connected, and the water from melting ice also flows into the ice chamber, which is unhygienic. Hands easily come into contact with the ice when removing it, causing contamination. The melted ice water also flows into the ice chamber. In contrast, extrusion-type ice-making modules use a motor to drive a screw inside the evaporator, rotating and extruding the ice cubes.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the ice adjustment system includes a rotating disk 7 and a motor 8; the rotating disk 7 is installed at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder 1 and is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the ice storage cylinder 1, and the motor 8 is installed on the housing and drives the rotating disk 7 to rotate.

[0020] Specific Implementation Method Two: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes an ice-collecting system comprising an electromagnet 3 and an ice outlet switch bracket 4. The electromagnet 3 is installed outside the ice storage cylinder 1 and is positioned near the ice outlet 6. The ice outlet switch bracket 4 is fitted inside the ice outlet bracket 5. The ice outlet bracket 5 is connected to the side wall of the ice storage cylinder 1. The electromagnet 3 drives the ice outlet switch bracket 4 to rotate. An ice block baffle 42 is provided at the end of the ice outlet switch bracket 4.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, pins 31 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the electromagnet 3. The pins 31 pass through the V-groove 41 on the side of the ice outlet switch bracket 4 and are inserted into the support frame 51 of the ice outlet bracket 5.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the ice block baffle 42 is inclined toward the inside of the ice storage cylinder 1, and a silicone pad is provided on the ice block baffle 42.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the ice storage cylinder 1 is wrapped with insulating cotton, and an ice probe 2 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the ice storage cylinder 1.

[0024] The other components and connections are the same as in Specific Implementation Method 1.

[0025] Specific implementation method three: Combining Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes an ice-making and refrigeration system that includes a compressor, a condenser, an ice-making component, a refrigeration tank, a two-position three-way switching valve, an ice-making balance water tank, and a drain solenoid valve. The refrigeration system controls the flow of refrigerant through the two-position three-way switching valve, switching between ice-making and ice-making water functions. The ice-making balance water tank is connected to the evaporator of the ice maker, replenishing water to the evaporator in real time. In a preferred embodiment, the ice-making refrigeration system is further provided with a three-way pipe that connects the compressor, evaporator and ice-making assembly to each other. The two-position three-way switching valve is connected to the condenser, evaporator and ice-making assembly respectively. A dryer filter is also provided between the two-position three-way switching valve and the condenser. The two-position three-way switching valve is a three-way solenoid valve.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the ice-making balance tank is connected to both the ice-making component and the water tank. The ice-making balance tank is equipped with a level switch inside and a drain solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of the ice-making balance tank.

[0027] The other components and connections are the same as in Specific Implementation Method 1.

[0028] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment describes an ice-making refrigeration control system, including a compressor, condenser, ice-making module, pulse-type two-position three-way switching valve, three-way pipe, ice-making balance water tank, and ice-making balance water tank drain solenoid valve. The refrigeration system controls the refrigerant flow through the three-way pipe and pulse-type two-position three-way valve to select between ice making and ice-making water. The ice-making balance water tank is connected to the ice maker's evaporator, replenishing the evaporator with water in real time.

[0029] A motor 8 is installed at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder 1. The rotation of the motor 8 drives the rotating disk 8 inside the ice storage cylinder 1 to rotate the ice blocks, preventing the ice blocks from clumping inside the ice storage cylinder and speeding up the flow of the ice blocks. When the user needs to take ice blocks, the electromagnet opens the ice outlet 6 at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder 1 through the transmission mechanism, allowing the ice blocks to flow out automatically from the ice outlet.

[0030] The other components and connections are the same as in Specific Implementation Method 1.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: This utility model is a multi-functional water purifier with ice making, refrigeration, and heating capabilities. The ice making and refrigeration control system includes a compressor, condenser, ice-making module, refrigeration tank, pulse-type two-position three-way switching valve, three-way pipe, ice-making balance water tank, and ice-making balance water tank drain solenoid valve. The refrigeration system controls the flow of refrigerant through the three-way pipe and pulse-type two-position three-way valve, thereby achieving the selection of ice making and ice-making water. The ice-making balance water tank is connected to the evaporator of the ice maker, replenishing the evaporator with water in real time. The ice-making balance water tank has a level switch; as ice is squeezed out, the water level decreases, allowing water to be replenished in real time, ensuring that the evaporator always maintains the normal ice-making water level. A solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of the ice-making balance water tank; when there is no ice making for a long time, the water in the ice-making balance water tank and evaporator is automatically drained to reduce water source contamination, and fresh water is replenished when ice making begins.

[0032] The refrigeration system uses a three-way valve to split the refrigerant into two paths: one for ice making and the other for cooling water. The ice storage tank has a temperature probe and an infrared sensor to detect if it's full, while a sensor inside the cooling chamber monitors the water temperature. During ice making, water from the balancing tank is delivered to the evaporator, where ice is formed. The ice is then conveyed to the ice storage tank via a screw conveyor. For cooling water, an evaporator located on the outside of the cooling chamber cools the water inside.

[0033] A motor 8 is installed at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder 1. The rotation of the motor 8 drives the rotating disk 8 inside the ice storage cylinder 1 to rotate the ice blocks, preventing the ice blocks from clumping inside the ice storage cylinder and speeding up the flow of the ice blocks. When the user needs to take ice blocks, the electromagnet opens the ice outlet 6 at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder 1 through the transmission mechanism, allowing the ice blocks to flow out automatically from the ice outlet.

[0034] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
