An ice maker with an ice sorting structure

Abstract

This utility model discloses an ice maker with an ice block sorting structure, including a base, an ice maker body fixedly mounted on the top of the base, a feed hopper fixedly mounted on the top of the ice maker body, and a sorting mechanism inside the base. The sorting mechanism includes a chute, a slider, a connecting plate, a discharge plate, and a sorting plate. A chute is formed on one side of the inner wall of the base, a slider is fixedly mounted on one side of the inner wall of the chute, a sorting plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the slider, a connecting plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the sorting plate, and a discharge plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate. By moving the sorting plate back and forth, the ice blocks on the sorting plate can be sorted. Larger ice blocks will slide directly to the right side of the partition, while smaller ice blocks, after being sorted by the sorting plate, slide onto the discharge plate and are then transported to the left side of the partition. This allows for the sorting and classification of the ice blocks produced by the ice maker body.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice block sorting technology for ice makers, specifically to an ice maker with an ice block sorting structure. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that produces ice by cooling water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system. It uses a refrigeration system with water as the carrier and produces ice by passing it through a device when powered on.

[0003] Currently, ice makers may produce ice blocks of varying sizes after ice production. This results in ice blocks of different sizes being collected together, which reduces the quality of the ice. Therefore, an ice maker with an ice block sorting structure needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an ice maker with an ice sorting structure, thereby resolving the issues raised in the background section.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an ice maker with an ice block sorting structure, including a base, an ice maker body fixedly installed on the top of the base, and a feed hopper fixedly installed on the top of the ice maker body. The base is equipped with a sorting mechanism, which includes a chute, a slider, a connecting plate, a feeding plate, and a sorting plate. A chute is provided on one side of the inner wall of the base. A slider is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the chute. A sorting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the slider. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting plate. A feeding plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate.

[0006] In one example, a cylinder is fixedly mounted on one side of the base, and the output shaft of the cylinder is fixedly mounted on a fixed shaft.

[0007] In one example, a horizontal plate is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed shaft, and a connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of the horizontal plate.

[0008] In one example, the connecting rod is inserted into one side of the base, and one end of the connecting rod inside the base is fixed to the sorting plate.

[0009] In one example, a valve is mounted on one side of the base, and a handle is mounted on one side of the valve.

[0010] In one example, a partition is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the base, and the partition is located on the right side of the feed plate.

[0011] The ice maker with an ice sorting structure proposed in this utility model can bring the following beneficial effects: 1. This ice maker with an ice sorting structure can sort ice blocks on the sorting plate by moving back and forth. Larger ice blocks will slide directly to the right side of the partition, while smaller ice blocks will slide to the feeding plate after being sorted by the sorting plate and then be transported to the left side of the partition. This allows for the sorting and classification of ice blocks produced by the ice maker.

[0012] 2. This ice maker with an ice block sorting structure moves a fixed shaft by starting a cylinder, which in turn moves a horizontal plate, and then moves a sorting plate by connecting rods, thereby moving and sorting the ice blocks on the sorting plate, thus improving its sorting efficiency.

[0015] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes an ice maker with an ice block sorting structure, including a base 1, an ice maker body 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a feed hopper 3 fixedly installed on the top of the ice maker body 2, and an ice trough set in the ice maker body 2. The base 1 is equipped with a sorting mechanism, which includes a chute 4, a slider 5, a connecting plate 6, a feeding plate 7, and a sorting plate 15. A chute 4 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the base 1. A slider 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the chute 4. A sorting plate 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the slider 5. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting plate 15. A feeding plate 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 6.

[0017] Specifically, a cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the base 1, and a fixed shaft 11 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the cylinder 12. The fixed shaft 11 is driven to move by the cylinder 12, which in turn drives the horizontal plate 10 to move.

[0018] Specifically, a horizontal plate 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed shaft 11, and a connecting rod 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the horizontal plate 10. The connecting rod 9 is fixed by the horizontal plate 10 and drives the sorting plate 15 to move, thereby sorting the ice blocks fed from the bottom of the ice maker body 2.

[0019] Specifically, the connecting rod 9 is inserted into one side of the base 1, and one end of the connecting rod 9 inside the base 1 is fixed to the sorting plate 15, through which the ice blocks are sorted.

[0020] Specifically, a valve 13 is installed on one side of the base 1, and a handle 14 is installed on one side of the valve 13. The base 1 is sealed by the valve 13, and the handle 14 makes it easy to open the valve 13.

[0021] Specifically, a partition 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the base 1, and the partition 8 is located on the right side of the feeding plate 7, so that the ice storage chamber inside the base 1 is separated by the partition 8.

[0022] Working principle: After water is injected into the ice maker body 2 through the feed hopper 3 to make ice, the ice blocks are transported to the sorting plate 15 through the ice outlet trough at the bottom. Then, the cylinder 12 is started to drive the fixed shaft 11 to move, which in turn drives the horizontal plate 10 to move. The connecting rod 9 drives the sorting plate 15 to move back and forth, and can sort the ice blocks on the sorting plate 15. Therefore, larger ice blocks will slide directly to the right side of the partition 8, while smaller ice blocks will slide to the discharge plate 7 after being sorted by the sorting plate 15, and be transported to the left side of the partition 8. In this way, the ice blocks made by the ice maker body 2 can be sorted and collected in categories.

[0023] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the system embodiments are basically similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions in the method embodiments.

[0024] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
