Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] An ice maker is a device used to make ice cubes. Its working principle is as follows: water is pumped into the ice-making container, and the evaporator section is filled with water from the container. The evaporator is connected to both the compressor and the condenser. During ice making, condensed liquid is injected into the evaporator, causing ice cubes to form in the evaporator section submerged in water. Then, high-temperature gas from the compressor is injected into the evaporator, causing the ice cubes to detach from the evaporator, thus completing the ice-making process.

[0003] To reduce air bubbles in the ice-making container, improve the transparency of the ice pellets, and enhance ice-making quality, water is continuously pumped from a storage tank into the ice-making container. Water overflowing from the ice-making tank then flows back into the storage tank, creating a circulation system that keeps the water in the ice-making tank circulating. However, the significant temperature difference between the water in the ice-making container and the storage tank, with the water in the storage tank generally not reaching the required ice-making temperature, undoubtedly increases the energy consumption of equipment such as the condenser and prolongs the ice-making time, resulting in low ice-making efficiency.

[0004] Furthermore, existing ice makers have a top cover. Opening the cover allows you to remove the ice basket and take out the ice, then put the basket back into the machine. Each time you need to remove ice, you have to open the cover and lift the basket, which is cumbersome. Moreover, the ice basket is heavy, making lifting it time-consuming, labor-intensive, and physically demanding.

[0005] Finally, the existing ice maker's internal structure is unreasonable. For example, the ice water tank, compressor, and condenser are arranged in a straight line, making the ice maker long overall; components for installing the pump body occupy internal space, etc., resulting in a loose and non-compact structure and a large ice maker size. In addition, unreliable connections between various equipment components cause large vibrations, high noise levels, and poor load-bearing capacity during operation, thus reducing the lifespan of the ice maker.

[0030] The following are the beneficial effects of implementing this utility model:

[0031] This novel ice maker recirculates water overflowing from the water container into the ice-making chamber. This water is then channeled back into the water container via a circulating water mechanism outside the ice-making body, creating a continuous flow of water. The water flow is further reduced by the circulating mechanism, minimizing contact with air and thus reducing bubble formation, resulting in excellent ice-making efficiency. By utilizing overflowing water from the water container for ice making, the water temperature difference is minimized, eliminating the need for the evaporator to re-cool or significantly reducing cooling time, thus greatly shortening ice-making time and increasing efficiency. Furthermore, the water inlet is located within the rotating shaft and is connected to the inside of the water container, allowing circulating water to be directly injected into the container, further reducing contact with air and bubble formation. This design also reduces the number of components without affecting the rotation of the shaft and water container, resulting in a compact, rationally laid-out structure with fewer parts, smaller size, and lower cost.

[0032] The ice storage container of this utility model utilizes a front cover plate located on one side of the machine body. The ice storage container is placed into the ice storage cavity from the side of the machine body, realizing the horizontal pushing and pulling movement of the ice storage container to take out or store ice. There is no need to open the top cover to take out ice or lift the ice storage container, which greatly reduces the difficulty of taking out ice and saves time and effort.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0047] See Figure 1-13 This utility model discloses an ice maker, including a housing, an ice-making device and a material-collecting mechanism. The housing includes a housing body 11, and the ice-making device is disposed inside the housing body 11.

[0048] The ice-making device includes an ice-making body 2, an ice-making mechanism, and a circulating water mechanism. The circulating water mechanism is located outside the ice-making body 2. The ice-making body 2 has an ice-making cavity 21 and an ice-storage cavity 22 that are connected to each other.

[0049] The ice-making mechanism includes a water-receiving container 4 disposed in the ice-making chamber 21, and the water-receiving container 4 is movably connected to the ice-making body 2; one end of the water-receiving container 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 41 that passes through the wall of the ice-making body 2, and the rotating shaft 41 is provided with a water inlet hole 42 that communicates with the water-receiving container 4; the ice-making chamber 21 is connected to the water inlet hole 42 through a circulating water mechanism.

[0050] The material handling mechanism includes a front cover plate 12 and an ice storage container 9. The front cover plate 12 is located on one side of the machine housing 11. The front cover plate 12 has a material handling port 121 corresponding to the ice storage cavity 22. The ice storage container 9 is placed in the ice storage cavity 22 through the material handling port 121.

[0051] This novel ice maker recirculates water overflowing from the water container into the ice-making chamber. This water is then channeled back into the water container via a circulating water mechanism outside the ice-making body, creating a continuous flow of water. The water flow is further reduced by the circulating mechanism, minimizing contact with air and thus reducing bubble formation, resulting in excellent ice-making efficiency. By utilizing overflowing water from the water container for ice making, the water temperature difference is minimized, eliminating the need for the evaporator to re-cool or significantly reducing cooling time, thus greatly shortening ice-making time and increasing efficiency. Furthermore, the water inlet is located within the rotating shaft and is connected to the inside of the water container, allowing circulating water to be directly injected into the container, further reducing contact with air and bubble formation. This design also reduces the number of components without affecting the rotation of the shaft and water container, resulting in a compact, rationally laid-out structure with fewer parts, smaller size, and lower cost.

[0052] The ice storage container of this utility model utilizes a front cover plate located on one side of the machine body. The ice storage container is placed into the ice storage cavity from the side of the machine body, realizing the horizontal pushing and pulling movement of the ice storage container to take out or store ice. There is no need to open the top cover to take out ice or lift the ice storage container, which greatly reduces the difficulty of taking out ice and saves time and effort.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , 8 As shown, the ice-making body 2 is provided with a circulating water inlet 211 that communicates with the ice-making cavity 21, the inner side wall of the water-receiving container 4 is provided with a water passage 43, and the bottom of the water-receiving container 4 is provided with a water outlet 44. The water inlet 42, the water passage 43 and the water outlet 44 are connected in sequence; the circulating water inlet 211 and the water inlet 43 are connected through a circulating water mechanism.

[0054] Water overflowing from the receiving container flows into the ice-making chamber. The bottom of the ice-making chamber has a circulating water inlet connected to the outside. The circulating water inlet and the inlet are connected by a circulating water mechanism, which draws water from the ice-making chamber into the inlet. The water flows along the water passage into the outlet, and then back into the receiving container for ice making. Because the outlet is located at the bottom of the receiving container, it accelerates the water flow, effectively creating a flowing water system.

[0055] Preferably, such as Figure 5-6 As shown in Figure 8, the circulating water mechanism includes a first pump body 62, a first pipe body 63, and a connector 61. The circulating water inlet 211, the first pump body 62, the first pipe body 63, the connector 61, and the water inlet 42 are connected in sequence. The connector 61 is inserted into the rotating shaft 41 through the water inlet 42, and the rotating shaft 41 can rotate around the connector 61.

[0056] The first pump draws water from the ice-making chamber through the circulation port to the first pipe body, then flows sequentially through the connector, inlet, water passage, and outlet into the water-receiving container. The connector is fixed to the ice-making body and can rotate around itself, ensuring the water-receiving container can rotate normally and maintaining communication between the connector and the inlet.

[0057] Better, such as Figure 8 As shown, a sealing ring 64 is provided between the connector 61 and the rotating shaft 41 to prevent water leakage.

[0058] Preferably, such as Figure 2-3 As shown in Figures 5-7, the ice-making device also includes a base 7, and a reinforcing seat 3 is fitted over the ice-making body 2. The ice-making body 2 is fixedly connected to the base 7 via the reinforcing seat 3. Since screws and other fasteners have a certain length, a connecting post is provided at the bottom of the ice-making body to prevent them from inserting into the ice-making body. The ice-making body is then fixedly connected to the base via the connecting post. However, this leaves a gap between the ice-making body and the base, causing the ice-making body to be unstable and unreliable during installation. The reinforcing seat of this invention fills this gap, and the connecting post passes through the reinforcing seat and is fixedly connected to the base, thus ensuring a stable and reliable installation of the ice-making body.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the ice-making body 2 has a water storage cavity 23, which is connected to and located below the ice storage cavity 22. The ice-making cavity 21 is located on one side of the ice storage cavity 22, and the water storage cavity 23 is located within the reinforcing base 3. The spatial layout of the water storage cavity, ice storage cavity, and ice-making cavity makes the overall spatial structure compact, reasonable, and small in size, and gives the ice-making body an inverted L-shape. The water storage cavity is used to store water. When a certain amount of ice is made, the water in the water-receiving container and the ice-making cavity will decrease, and water will be added to meet the ice-making needs. Therefore, water in the water storage cavity will be pumped into the water-receiving container. Thus, the water storage cavity stores a certain amount of water. The reinforcing base also strengthens the bottom of the ice-making body, preventing water pressure from causing unreliable, unstable, or even damaged connections. The ice-making cavity is located on one side of the ice storage cavity, facilitating the transport of the ice produced by the ice-making cavity to the ice storage container within the ice storage cavity for storage.

[0060] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing base 3 is provided with a first pump groove 31 and a second pump groove 32, and the first pump body 62 is placed in the first pump groove 31. Placing the first pump body in the first pump groove of the reinforcing base reduces the number of components used to support and carry the first pump body, reduces space occupation, and results in a simple, compact structure with fewer components, low cost, and small size.

[0061] Among them, such as Figure 3 , 5As shown, the ice-making device also includes a water supply mechanism, which comprises a second pump body 81 and a second pipe body 82. The water storage chamber 23, the second pump body 81, the second pipe body 82, and the ice-making chamber 21 are sequentially connected. The second pump body 81 is placed in the second pump slot 32. The second pump body pumps water from the water storage chamber to the second pipe body, and the water flows sequentially through the second pipe body into the ice-making chamber and falls into the water receiving container, thus achieving water supply and replenishment. Similarly, the second pump body is placed in the second pump slot of the reinforcing base, reducing the number of components used to support and carry the second pump body, reducing space occupation, and resulting in a simple, compact structure with fewer components, low cost, and small size.

[0062] It should be noted that the ice-making device also includes a refrigeration mechanism, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the refrigeration mechanism includes an evaporator 51, a compressor 52, and a condenser 53. The evaporator 51 is connected to the compressor 52 and the condenser 53 respectively. The evaporator 51 is located inside the water container 4. The compressor 52 and the condenser 53 are both located below the ice-making chamber 21 and are respectively located close to the water storage chamber 23.

[0063] The evaporator components are immersed in water in the receiving container. When condensate flows into the evaporator, it lowers the temperature of the surrounding water, causing it to freeze and form ice. Both the compressor and condenser are located below the ice-making chamber, significantly saving space and resulting in a compact overall structure and small size. Furthermore, the compressor and condenser are positioned close to the water storage chamber (left and right sides), avoiding the problem of a long overall length and large size caused by a straight line arrangement of the ice-making unit, compressor, and condenser.

[0064] Preferably, the ice storage container 9 is placed inside the ice storage cavity 22 by a support assembly. For example... Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figures 9 and 13, the support assembly includes a support platform 221 disposed on the inner side wall of the ice-making body 2 and a support bar 91 disposed on the outer side wall of the ice storage container 9. The support bar 91 is mounted on the support platform 221. The ice storage container is pushed into the ice storage cavity through the feeding port. The cooperation of the support platform and the support bar can effectively support the ice storage container placed in the ice storage cavity.

[0065] To prevent the ice storage container from easily moving within the ice storage chamber, it is preferable that, Figure 3-5 As shown in Figure 13, the ice-making body 2 is provided with a fastening member 222, and the fastening member 222 is elastically connected to the ice-making body 2; the outer side wall of the ice storage container 9 is provided with a limiting protrusion 92, and the limiting protrusion 92 can abut against the fastening member 222.

[0066] Specifically, one end of the fastening element 222 is fixedly connected to the ice-making body 2, while the other end is a free end located inside the ice storage cavity 22. When the ice storage container is pushed into the ice storage cavity through the feeding port, the limiting protrusion abuts against the fastening element, pushing the fastening element outward from the ice storage cavity. This causes the fastening element to undergo elastic deformation, generating an elastic force against the limiting protrusion, thus pushing the ice storage container into the ice storage cavity. Two fastening elements 222 are arranged opposite each other on opposite sides of the ice storage cavity 22. The two fastening elements work together to clamp the ice storage container, making it difficult for the container to move.

[0067] Preferably, such as Figure 1-2 As shown in Figures 9-11 and 13, one end of the ice storage container 9 is provided with a limiting seat 10, the width of which is greater than the width of the ice storage container 9; the front cover plate 12 is provided with a limiting wall 122 and a supporting wall 123, the limiting wall 122 is provided on both sides of the feeding port 121, and the supporting wall 123 is provided below the feeding port 121; the limiting seat 10 can be placed on the supporting wall 123 and can abut against the limiting wall 122.

[0068] The limiting seat and the front cover cooperate to reliably connect the ice storage container and the front cover, while also providing some support to the ice storage container and partially sealing the inlet. This reduces the exchange of air between the ice storage cavity and the outside of the ice maker, slows down the melting rate of the ice in the ice storage cavity, and prevents foreign objects from entering the ice storage cavity. The limiting wall limits the limiting seat, while the supporting wall supports the limiting seat, thereby stabilizing the ice storage container.

[0069] To facilitate users in pushing and pulling the ice storage container, preferably, such as Figure 9-11 As shown in Figure 13, the front cover plate 12 is provided with a guide wall 124, which is located above the material inlet 121; the top of the limiting seat 10 is provided with a handrail groove 101, and the guide wall 124 is positioned towards the handrail groove 121. That is, the guide wall 124 is an inclined device. The user's hand first touches the guide wall and falls into the handrail groove under the guidance of the guide wall, making it easy for the user to quickly find the handrail groove, thereby making it easy to grip the limiting seat and push or pull the ice storage container. This structure is simple and user-friendly.

[0070] To prevent large amounts of water from accumulating inside ice storage containers due to melting ice, further measures are needed, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the bottom of the ice storage container 9 is provided with a corresponding drainage component and a drain outlet 93. The drain outlet 93 is connected to the inside of the ice storage container 9, so that the water in the ice storage container 9 flows out of the ice storage container 9 through the drain outlet 93.

[0071] The drainage assembly includes a cover 94, an elastic member 95, and a stopper 96. The cover 94 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ice storage container 9. The stopper 96 and the drain outlet 93 are correspondingly arranged. The two sides of the elastic member 95 abut against the cover 94 and the stopper 96 respectively to close the drain outlet 93. The bottom of the ice storage cavity 22 is provided with a self-opening platform 223, which can abut against the stopper 96 to open the drain outlet 93. The elastic member 95 is preferably a spring.

[0072] A gap is left between the cover and the inner wall of the ice storage container to allow water inside the container to flow into the drain. The cover also prevents ice from clogging the drain. In the initial state, the stopper, under the action of the elastic component, keeps the drain closed, preventing water from draining out of the ice storage container. When the ice storage container is pushed into the ice storage chamber until the stopper and the self-opening platform come into contact, the stopper is pushed upward by the self-opening platform, thus opening the drain. Water inside the ice storage container flows into the water storage chamber below through the drain. This structure saves water and eliminates the need for additional cleaning of water inside the ice storage container. When the ice storage container is pulled out of the ice storage chamber, the stopper and the self-opening platform separate, and the stopper automatically resets under the action of the elastic component, resealing the drain. Its structure is simple and reliable.

[0073] In summary, this utility model provides an ice maker that has high ice-making efficiency, a compact structure, and is easy to use for ice removal.

[0074] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
