Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to a granular ice forming mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there is an ice maker that can produce granulated ice. For example, the anti-pinch ice maker disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN219976823U uses a rotating ice column to cause the extruded ice column to break into ice blocks upon contact with the rotating ice column and fall into the annular section. The rotating ice column then drives a sweeping rod to sweep the ice blocks in the annular section to the ice outlet position, and finally discharge them through the ice outlet channel. However, the ice column extruded by the ice maker is not controlled after it exceeds the extrusion outlet, which is not conducive to the production of granulated ice. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to propose a granular ice forming mechanism with a controlled structure, thereby facilitating the manufacture of granular ice.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a granular ice forming mechanism, including a rotating column, and ribs extending along the axial direction of the rotating column are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating column. There are multiple ribs, which are distributed circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the rotating column. When the rotating column rotates, the ribs are also used to push the ice outward.

[0005] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages: The circumferentially distributed ribs push the ice outwards as the rotating column rotates. The combination of the ribs and the rotating column forms a controlled structure, which is conducive to the production of granular ice.

[0006] Preferably, adjacent ribs form a guide groove, which can be used to guide ice.

[0007] Preferably, an ice-sweeping rod is also included, which is connected to the rotating column.

[0008] Preferably, the ice-sweeping rod is U-shaped and installed upside down on top of the rotating column. Attached Figure Description

[0009] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a granular ice forming mechanism.

[0010] The following components are shown in the figure: 1-rotating column, 2-rib, 3-guide groove, 4-ice sweeping rod. Detailed Implementation

[0011] To better understand this application, various aspects of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely illustrative of exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

[0012] In the accompanying drawings, for illustrative purposes only, the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0013] It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” “containing,” “comprise,” and “containing”, when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a granular ice forming mechanism is disclosed, including a rotating column 1. Ribs 2 extending along the axial direction of the rotating column 1 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating column 1. There are multiple ribs 2, which are distributed circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the rotating column 1. In this example, they are evenly distributed. The ribs 2 are arranged vertically. When the rotating column 1 rotates, the ribs 2 are also used to push the ice outward.

[0015] When in use, this invention can be installed on the upper side of the ice squeezing port of the ice column, with each ice squeezing port distributed circumferentially along the rotating column 1.

[0016] Both sides of the rib 2 are curved, which can better push the ice outward and prevent it from getting stuck.

[0017] In some embodiments, adjacent ribs 2 form a guide groove 3, which can be used to guide ice, that is, when ice enters the guide groove 3, the ice can be guided to a certain extent.

[0018] In some embodiments, an ice-sweeping rod 4 is also included, which is connected to the rotating column 1.

[0019] Furthermore, the ice-sweeping rod 4 is U-shaped and installed upside down on top of the rotating column 1. The ice-sweeping rod 4 can push the ice block circumferentially.

[0020] When understanding this utility model, the above structure may be referred to other embodiments / appendices if necessary. Figure 1 And that's understood, so I won't go into details here.

[0021] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of protection of this utility model are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
