Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ice-making equipment technology, and in particular to an ice dispensing structure for an ice storage tank in an ice maker. 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. Depending on the principle of the evaporator and the production method, the shape of the ice produced varies. Ice makers are generally classified according to the shape of the ice, such as granular ice makers, flake ice makers, plate ice makers, tube ice makers, shell ice makers, etc. The storage and use of ice is a common need in daily life in many fields such as self-service coffee machines, catering, and entertainment.

[0003] Traditional ice buckets have a low internal temperature, and ice cubes tend to stick together after being left undisturbed for a long time, forming hard-to-remove clumps that cause inconvenience to users. In addition, ice tends to accumulate on the inner wall of the ice bucket during use, reducing the actual amount of ice that can be stored. Ice buildup can also create gaps between the ice cubes and the inner wall of the ice bucket, affecting heat exchange between the ice cubes and the ice bucket, thus reducing the ice bucket's insulation performance. Over time, the accumulated ice becomes hard and tightly adhered, making it difficult to clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the problems of ice blocks sticking together and ice accumulation on the inner wall of the ice bucket, this application provides an ice dispensing structure for an ice storage bucket in an ice maker.

[0005] The ice discharging structure of an ice storage tank for an ice maker provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An ice dispensing structure for an ice maker's ice storage tank includes a housing, a machine head fixedly mounted on the top surface of the housing, an ice-making cylinder fixedly mounted inside the machine head, an ice storage tank fixedly mounted inside the machine head, an ice dispensing mechanism for assisting ice dispensing inside the ice storage tank, an auxiliary mechanism for preventing ice blocks from sticking together inside the machine head, and a circular frame for scraping ice blocks off the inner wall of the ice storage tank at the output end of the auxiliary mechanism.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the casing serves as the basic framework and external protective cover of the entire ice maker, supporting internal components, providing insulation, and enhancing aesthetics. The machine head is the mounting base for the core functional modules of the ice maker, integrating key components for ice making and ice storage. The ice-making cylinder is the core area where ice making occurs; evaporators and other refrigeration components are typically located inside or around it, used to freeze water into ice blocks. The ice storage cylinder is located below the ice-making cylinder, used to collect and temporarily store the made ice blocks. It contains an ice dispensing mechanism, a functional compartment for dispensing ice on demand. The ice dispensing mechanism is the core functional component of the ice storage cylinder. The core function of this device is to work together to complete a series of actions, including crushing, conveying, and discharging ice, under the drive of a single power source, ensuring that ice blocks can be delivered smoothly and reliably, fundamentally solving the blockage problem. The drive structure is a clever motion conversion mechanism, whose core function is to convert the continuous rotational motion of the shaft into the linear reciprocating motion of the sliding cylinder and the screen plate connected to it, and to make the ice blocks shake against each other to prevent them from sticking together. The function of the circular frame is to scrape off and break the ice layer stuck to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder, solving the industry pain point that traditional mechanisms cannot handle ice stuck to the inner wall, and ensuring the effective volume of the ice storage cylinder and smooth ice discharging.

[0008] Preferably, the ice dispensing mechanism includes a rotating shaft, and a baffle is fixedly installed inside the ice storage cylinder.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft is the power center and core transmission component of the entire ice discharging mechanism and auxiliary mechanisms. It receives rotational power from the motor and transmits it to the push block, stirring rod, spiral plate, and drives the screen plate through the drive structure, achieving multiple uses for one shaft. The baffle is fixed inside the ice storage cylinder, and its main function is to guide and change the flow path of the ice blocks, ensuring that the ice blocks are effectively guided to the conveying area where the spiral plate is located, and may also play a role in enhancing the structural strength.

[0010] Preferably, a push block is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a stirring rod is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the pusher block is fixed on the rotating shaft and rotates with it. Its main function is to axially push the ice blocks at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder towards the ice outlet, preventing the ice blocks from accumulating at the bottom. The stirring rod is also fixed on the rotating shaft. During rotation, it radially agitates and breaks up the ice blocks, effectively dispersing the ice clumps that are stuck together, preventing the formation of "ice bridges" that cause blockages, and keeping the ice blocks in a loose state for easy subsequent transportation.

[0012] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly installed inside the ice storage cylinder, a driving structure is installed on the top surface of the rotating shaft, an auxiliary cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and a spiral plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the auxiliary cylinder.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is fixed inside the ice storage cylinder, serving as the mounting base and support point for the drive structure. It provides stable rotational support for the rotating column and withstands various forces during operation. The auxiliary cylinder is fixed to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, and its main function is to install and fix the spiral plate. As the rotation center of the spiral plate, the spiral plate is the final conveying actuator. It rotates with the rotating shaft, steadily and continuously pushing the loosened ice blocks, which have been shaken by the screen plate and evenly distributed by the push plate, out of the ice outlet through the Archimedes' spiral principle, completing the final step of ice discharge.

[0014] Preferably, the driving structure includes a rotating column fixedly disposed on the top surface of the rotating shaft, and the rotating column is rotatably disposed inside the support plate. A groove is formed on the outer surface of the rotating column, and a sliding cylinder that is slidably connected to the outer surface of the rotating column is adapted to slide with the groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating column serves as the power input component, transmitting rotational motion. The chute is a specific curved track, the shape of which determines the movement trajectory and amplitude of the screen plate. The sliding cylinder slides in conjunction with the chute, converting the curved motion of the chute into its own up-and-down sliding, thereby transmitting power to the screen plate.

[0016] Preferably, a first sieve plate is fixedly provided on the top surface of the sliding cylinder and slidably disposed inside the ice storage cylinder; a fixed column is fixedly provided on the top surface of the first sieve plate; a second sieve plate is fixedly provided on the top surface of the fixed column; and the top surface of the second sieve plate is fixedly disposed with the circular frame.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, sieve plate one and sieve plate two are connected into an integral frame by fixed columns. Their main function is to perform powerful up-and-down reciprocating shaking under the drive structure. This action, like a "sieve," can effectively break large ice blocks and shake off ice chunks on the sieve holes, preventing blockage and ensuring that only appropriately sized ice chunks can fall.

[0018] Preferably, a connecting column is fixedly provided on the top surface of the rotating column, which is rotatably connected to the screen plate and the sliding cylinder. A push plate is fixedly provided on one side of the connecting column, and a connecting assembly is fixedly provided between the support plate and the screen plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting column transmits the rotational motion of the rotating column to the push plate, enabling it to rotate. The push plate is located between the two layers of screen plates, and its function is to further stir and disperse the ice blocks located between the screen plates during the rotation process, prevent the ice blocks from accumulating in the center of the screen plates, and push them outward to ensure that the ice blocks can fall more evenly through the screen holes, thereby improving the screening efficiency and uniformity.

[0020] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a fixed cylinder fixedly disposed on the top surface of the support plate, a movable cylinder fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the sieve plate, and a return spring fixedly disposed between the fixed cylinder and the movable cylinder.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed cylinder and the moving cylinder work together to provide installation and guidance for the return spring, ensuring that the spring can only compress and extend axially. The return spring is the core of the system. Firstly, it provides a buffer for the downward movement of the screen plate, making the shaking action smoother and the noise lower; secondly, it provides a restoring force, ensuring that the screen plate can effectively return to its original position after completing the downward stroke, guaranteeing the continuity and reliability of the shaking action.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The sliding cylinder, connected by a chute, slides up and down inside the ice storage cylinder, thereby driving the first and second sieve plates to move up and down. This shakes the ice blocks squeezed out of the ice-making cylinder, effectively breaking down the static friction and adhesion between the ice blocks, breaking large ice lumps into loose pieces, and preventing the ice blocks from sticking together or piling up. In addition, the circular frame moves up and down with the second sieve plate, directly scraping and breaking the ice layer adhering to the inner wall, allowing the ice blocks to enter the subsequent transportation and processing stages more smoothly, thus improving the efficiency and quality of ice production.

[0024] 2. By using a pusher plate between sieve plate one and sieve plate two, and a spiral plate below sieve plate one, this combination design achieves flexibility in ice block transportation. The pusher plate can assist in the movement and dispersion of ice blocks to a certain extent, while the spiral plate can stably and continuously transport the shaken ice blocks from the ice outlet of the ice storage cylinder, ensuring the continuity and stability of the ice dispensing process.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] This application discloses an ice dispensing structure for an ice storage tank in an ice maker.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 An ice dispensing structure for an ice maker's ice storage tank includes a housing 1, the top surface of which is fixedly connected to a machine head 2. Inside the housing 1 are a water storage tank, an evaporator, and a water inlet solenoid valve. The evaporator is located above the water storage tank. The water inlet solenoid valve is connected to the water storage tank via a first pipe. The water outlet of the machine head is connected to the water storage tank via a second pipe. The water inlet solenoid valve is connected to a three-way valve, which is connected to a self-priming pump and a water inlet pipe. A water outlet pipe is located above the evaporator, with several water outlets evenly distributed on it. The water outlets face the upper surface of the evaporator. The water outlet pipe is connected to a water pump via a flexible hose. The water pump is located inside the water storage tank. The inner wall of the machine head 2 is fixedly connected to an ice-making cylinder 3, and the inner wall of the machine head 2 is fixedly connected to an ice storage cylinder 4. The ice storage cylinder 4 is located below the ice outlet of the ice-making cylinder 3, and an ice outlet is located at the bottom of the ice storage cylinder 4.

[0038] First, water flows from the outlet of the smart seat into the water tank inside the casing 1 through the second pipe for storage. When ice is needed, the inlet solenoid valve opens, and the water in the storage tank flows through the first pipe to the three-way valve under the control of the inlet solenoid valve. The three-way valve distributes the water to the self-priming pump or the inlet pipe according to the settings (here, according to the conventional ice-making process, the water enters the subsequent ice-making stage through the three-way valve, the self-priming pump, etc.). At the same time, the water pump is located in the storage tank, and it draws the water in the storage tank to the outlet pipe through the hose. Several outlets are evenly distributed on the outlet pipe and face the upper surface of the evaporator. The water is evenly sprayed onto the evaporator from the outlets. The evaporator cools the water to make it freeze into ice. After the ice is formed in the ice-making cylinder 3, it falls from the ice outlet of the ice-making cylinder 3 into the ice storage cylinder 4 located below it and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the machine head 2 for storage. When ice is needed, the ice in the ice storage cylinder 4 flows out from the ice outlet at its bottom, completing the entire ice-making and ice-dispensing process.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 The ice storage cylinder 4 is equipped with an ice dispensing mechanism 5 to assist in dispensing ice. The ice dispensing mechanism 5 includes a rotating shaft 51, which is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4. The bottom of the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor. The inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to a baffle 52, which is located above the ice outlet. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to a pushing block 53, which is located on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4 and between the ice outlet and the baffle 52. It is used to gradually push the ice blocks to the ice outlet. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to a stirring rod 54, which is located above the pushing block 53 and further breaks up the sticky ice blocks.

[0040] When ice is needed, the drive motor starts, and its drive shaft drives the rotating shaft 51, which is fixedly connected to it, to start rotating. Since the rotating shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4, the rotating shaft 51 can rotate stably inside the ice storage cylinder 4. The rotation of the rotating shaft 51 drives the fixedly connected push block 53 to rotate together. The push block 53 is located on the bottom of the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4 and is between the ice outlet and the baffle 52 fixed on the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4 and located above the ice outlet. During the rotation, the push block 53 will gradually push the ice in the ice storage cylinder 4 towards the ice outlet, so that the ice is close to the ice outlet and ready to be discharged. At the same time, the rotating shaft 51 will also drive the stirring rod 54, which is fixed on its outer surface and located above the push block 53, to rotate. During the rotation, the stirring rod 54 will stir and break up the ice that is stuck together in the ice storage cylinder 4, so as to avoid the ice from sticking together and affecting the smoothness of ice discharge. Through the synergistic action of the push block 53 and the stirring rod 54, the ice can be smoothly discharged from the ice outlet.

[0041] Reference Figures 3-5The machine head 2 has an auxiliary mechanism 6 inside, which is used to prevent ice cubes from sticking together. The lower part of the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the support plate 61. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary cylinder 66. The outer surface of the auxiliary cylinder 66 is fixedly connected to the spiral plate 613, which is used to transport ice cubes. The center of the top surface of the rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 62, and the rotating column 62 is rotatably connected to the center of the inner wall of the support plate 61. A groove 63 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating column 62, which is slidably connected to the sliding cylinder 64. The inner wall of the sliding cylinder 64 is fixed with protrusions adapted to the sliding action. The top surface of the sliding cylinder 64 is fixedly connected to the first sieve plate 610, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4. The top surface of the first sieve plate 610 is circumferentially fixed to the fixed columns 611. One side of the fixed columns 611 is fixedly connected to the second sieve plate 614, which is located away from the first sieve plate 610. Both the first plate 610 and the second sieve plate 614 have internal openings. A circular frame 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the second sieve plate 614. The circular frame 7 is located on the side away from the fixed column 611 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4. The circular frame 7 is used to scrape off ice blocks adhering to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4. The center of the top surface of the rotating column 62 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 65. The connecting column 65 is rotatably connected inside the first sieve plate 610 and the sliding cylinder 64. One side of the connecting column 65 is fixedly connected to the push plate 612. The push plate 612 is located on the side away from the rotating column 62, and the push plate 612 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the screen plate 610. The top surface of the support plate 61 is fixedly connected to two fixed cylinders 67, and the two fixed cylinders 67 are symmetrically fixedly connected. The bottom surface of the screen plate 610 is fixedly connected to two movable cylinders 69, and the two movable cylinders 69 are symmetrically fixedly connected. The inside of the fixed cylinder 67 is fixedly connected to the return spring 68, and the side of the return spring 68 away from the fixed cylinder 67 is fixedly connected to the movable cylinder 69.

[0042] As the rotating shaft 51 rotates, it drives the auxiliary cylinder 66 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral plate 613 fixed on the outer surface of the auxiliary cylinder 66 to rotate. During the rotation of the spiral plate 613, the ice blocks in the ice storage cylinder 4 are transported. At the same time, the rotating column 62 fixed at the center of the top surface of the rotating shaft 51 also rotates. The sliding groove 63 on the outer surface of the rotating column 62 rotates accordingly. Since the inner wall of the sliding cylinder 64 is fixed with a protrusion that matches the sliding groove 63, and the sliding cylinder 64 is slidably connected to the rotating column 62, the rotation of the sliding groove 63 will drive the sliding cylinder 64 to slide upward on the rotating column 62. When the ice storage cylinder 4 is in motion, the first sieve plate 610 fixed on the top surface of the sliding cylinder 64 will move up and down. The first sieve plate 610 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4. The fixed columns 611 fixed in the circumferential array on its top surface will drive the second sieve plate 614 to move up and down synchronously. The openings in the inside of the first sieve plate 610 and the second sieve plate 614 can make the ice blocks shake during the up and down movement, so as to avoid them sticking together. The circular frame 7 fixed on one side of the second sieve plate 614 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4. As the second sieve plate 614 moves up and down, the circular frame 7 will scrape off the ice blocks stuck to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4. A connecting column 65, fixed at the center of the top surface of the rotating column 62, is rotatably connected to the inside of the sieve plate 610 and the sliding cylinder 64. A push plate 612, fixed on one side of the connecting column 65, is rotatably connected to the top surface of the sieve plate 610. When the rotating column 62 rotates, the push plate 612 will rotate on the top surface of the sieve plate 610, further assisting the shaking of the ice. In addition, two symmetrical fixed cylinders 67 are fixed on the top surface of the support plate 61, and two symmetrical movable cylinders 69 are fixed on the bottom surface of the sieve plate 610. One end of the return spring 68 inside the fixed cylinder 67 is fixed to the fixed cylinder 67, and the other end is fixed to the movable cylinder 69. When the sieve plate 610 moves up and down, the movable cylinder 69 will move inside the fixed cylinder 67. The return spring 68 will play a role in buffering and assisting in reset, making the entire auxiliary mechanism 6 run more stably.

[0043] In this device, the return spring 68 adopts the calculation formula of alloy spring: F=kx, where F is the external force on the spring, k is the spring constant, N / m, and x is the deformation of the spring, m. The elastic force of the alloy spring is then calculated so that it can be used in this device. The return spring 68 should be made of alloy steel (such as 65Mn or GCr15).

[0044] The implementation principle of the ice discharging structure of an ice storage tank for an ice maker according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0045] When ice is discharged, the drive motor starts to drive the rotating shaft 51 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 51 drives the push block 53 and the stirring rod 54 to rotate together, and gradually pushes the ice blocks in the ice storage cylinder 4 towards the ice outlet. During the rotation, the stirring rod 54 will stir and break up the ice blocks stuck together in the ice storage cylinder 4.

[0046] As the rotating shaft 51 rotates, it drives the auxiliary cylinder 66, the spiral plate 613, and the rotating column 62 to rotate. During the rotation of the spiral plate 613, the ice blocks in the ice storage cylinder 4 are transported. The rotation of the rotating column 62 drives the slide chute 63 to rotate accordingly. Since the inner wall of the sliding cylinder 64 is fixed with a protrusion that matches the slide chute 63, and the sliding cylinder 64 is slidably connected to the rotating column 62, the rotation of the slide chute 63 will drive the sliding cylinder 64 to move up and down synchronously with the rotating column 62, the first sieve plate 610, the second sieve plate 614, and the circular frame 7. The openings inside the first sieve plate 610 and the second sieve plate 614 can make the ice blocks shake during the up and down movement, preventing them from sticking together. The circular frame 7 will scrape off the ice blocks stuck to the inner wall of the ice storage cylinder 4.

[0047] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
