Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of evaporator technology, and in particular to an evaporator for an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that uses a refrigeration system to cool water through an evaporator to produce ice. It employs a refrigeration system with water as the carrier, and produces ice by passing the water through a device when powered on. Depending on the evaporator's principle and production method, the shape of the ice produced varies. Ice makers are generally classified by ice shape, such as granular ice machines, flake ice machines, plate ice machines, tube ice machines, and shell ice machines.

[0003] Existing evaporators all use a split casing, which is prone to leakage over time, and is inconvenient to replace later, resulting in poor cooling performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, an evaporator for an ice maker is provided.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention includes a housing, which is integrally formed and has an internal cavity. A screw is disposed within the cavity. A metal layer is wrapped around the middle section of the outer side of the housing to form a refrigerant cavity, which is connected to refrigerant pipe one and refrigerant pipe two. An ice outlet is provided at the top of the housing, and a liquid inlet communicating with the inner cavity is provided on the bottom side.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that the surface of the shell in the refrigerant cavity is provided with prismatic grooves, which are arranged in an alternating pattern.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that a plurality of protruding rings are fixedly arranged around the surface of the shell in the refrigerant cavity from top to bottom, and the rings are provided with breakpoints.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that a spiral ring is spirally arranged around the surface of the shell in the refrigerant cavity.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that an ice-breaking head is provided at the top of the ice outlet.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that the ice-breaking head is conical, with the outer conical surface facing the ice outlet.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that a fixing ear is provided on the bottom side of the housing.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The evaporator of this ice maker has an integrally molded shell, which makes it easy to install and replace later. Different refrigerant cavity structures provide different cooling effects, and the cooling effect is better than that of a smooth-walled refrigerant cavity. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an evaporator for an ice maker includes a housing 3, which is integrally formed and has an internal cavity. A screw 8 is installed inside the cavity. A metal layer is wrapped around the middle section of the outer side of the housing 3 to form a refrigerant cavity 7. The refrigerant cavity 7 is connected to a refrigerant pipe 4 and a refrigerant pipe 5. An ice outlet 2 is provided at the top of the housing 3, and a liquid inlet 6 connected to the inner cavity is provided on the bottom side.

[0023] When in use, the liquid enters the inner cavity of the housing 3 through the liquid inlet 6, is cooled by the refrigerant cavity 7 to form ice, and is then squeezed upward by the screw and finally squeezed out from the ice outlet 2 to form ice.

[0024] An ice-breaking head 1 is provided at the top of the ice outlet 2. The ice-breaking head 1 is conical, with its outer conical surface facing the ice outlet 2. It is used to break the extruded ice into small pieces to prevent it from running continuously.

[0025] The bottom side of the housing 3 is provided with a fixing lug for easy fixing.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the surface of the shell 3 in the refrigerant chamber 7 is provided with prismatic grooves 9, which are arranged in an alternating pattern.

[0028] Example 3

[0029] The surface of the shell 3 in the refrigerant chamber 7 is fixed with several protruding rings 10 from top to bottom, and the rings 10 are provided with breaks.

[0030] Example 4

[0031] A spiral ring 11 is spirally arranged around the surface of the shell 3 in the refrigerant chamber 7.

[0032] The refrigerant chambers in each embodiment have different cooling effects, and can be selected according to different applicable situations.

[0033] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0034] The above examples are merely illustrative of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All designs that are the same as or similar to this utility model are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
