Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice mold evaporator technology, and in particular to a condensate recovery device for an adaptive temperature control ice mold evaporator. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that produces ice by cooling water through an evaporator with refrigerant in a refrigeration system. The evaporator, a crucial component of the ice maker, works by using a high-pressure liquid refrigerant that evaporates within the evaporator tubes after passing through a throttling device. This vaporization absorbs heat, achieving a cooling effect. The evaporator tubes then transfer the cooling energy to the ice molds in the ice maker, causing the water poured into the molds to freeze into ice blocks, which are then ready for use. During the ice-making process in the ice mold evaporator, condensate is produced.

[0003] The existing adaptive temperature-controlled ice mold evaporator condensate recovery device causes the condensate produced during the ice-making process to flow directly outward without being collected, which is a waste of water. In addition, after the ice is poured out, ice slag or water droplets remain in the ice mold evaporator, and the ice mold evaporator is not turned over to pour out the ice slag or water droplets for collection.

[0004] Therefore, an adaptive temperature-controlled condensate recovery device for ice mold evaporators is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where condensate produced during the ice-making process of ice mold evaporators flows directly outward without being collected, resulting in a waste of water resources. Therefore, this invention proposes an adaptive temperature-controlled condensate recovery device for ice mold evaporators.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: Design an adaptive temperature-controlled condensate recovery device for an ice mold evaporator, comprising a recovery tank, with support plates fixed at both ends of the top of the recovery tank. An ice mold evaporator body is rotatably mounted on the top of each support plate. Liquid guide pipes are connected to both sides of the ice mold evaporator body. A cover plate is placed on the top of the ice mold evaporator body. A drive-rotating mechanism is connected between one end of the ice mold evaporator body and the top of one of the support plates, and a positioning and stabilizing mechanism is connected between the other end of the ice mold evaporator body and the top of the other support plate. The drive-rotating mechanism includes a worm gear and a worm. A rotating column is horizontally fixed at the middle of both ends of the ice mold evaporator body. The worm gear is vertically fixed to the outer end of one of the rotating columns, and the worm is horizontally rotatably connected below the worm gear. The positioning and stabilizing mechanism includes a positioning column. A limit plate is fixed to the outer end of the other rotating column. The positioning column slides through the surface of the positioning plate and is positioned and inserted into the outer side of the support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the recycling bin is connected to a water pipe. The recycling bin is a rectangular structure and is horizontally arranged. The support plate is vertically arranged and has an installation groove at its top. The installation groove is a U-shaped structure and is vertically arranged. The rotating column is horizontally rotated and inserted into the bottom of the installation groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the worm gear is slidably mounted on the outside of the support plate, and connecting plates are fixed on both sides of the support plate. The worm is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates, and a motor is mounted on one end of the worm. The motor is fixedly mounted on the outside of the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, positioning holes are provided on the outer side of the support plate and on both sides of the mounting groove. The limiting plate is a circular plate structure and is vertically slidably installed on the outer side of the support plate. Guide holes are provided on its surface, and the guide holes are horizontally aligned with the positioning holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning post slides through the guide hole, and its inner end slides into the positioning hole, thereby positioning and connecting the limiting plate and the support plate.

[0011] Furthermore, pull plates are fixed to the outer ends of the two positioning posts. The pull plates are rectangular plates and are horizontally arranged on the outside of the rotating posts. Tension springs are sleeved on the surface of the positioning posts, and the two ends of the tension springs are respectively connected to the outer side of the limiting plate and the inner side of the pull plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the cover plate is a rectangular plate structure and is attached to the top of the ice mold evaporator body, with drainage holes evenly distributed on its surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the ice mold evaporator body and the cover plate are connected to the four corners of the cover plate with snap-fit ​​plates. The snap-fit ​​plates have a C-shaped structure and are vertically arranged. Anti-slip pads are bonded to the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the plates. The anti-slip pads abut against the top of the cover plate and the bottom of the ice mold evaporator body, respectively.

[0014] The condensate recovery device for an adaptive temperature-controlled ice mold evaporator proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: 1. This utility model has a recycling box installed at the bottom of the ice mold evaporator body. During the ice-making process of the ice mold evaporator body, the condensate produced can be recycled and collected through the recycling box, reducing water waste.

[0015] 2.
