Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a structure for continuously extruding ice and switching cooling water. Background Technology

[0002] CN115451627A discloses an ice-making device that can continuously extrude ice blocks. However, this machine can only produce ice blocks. Its principle is that water is frozen in the ice-making tube and then extruded by a spiral cutter. During the extrusion process, the water passes through an ice guide plate and is extruded into ice blocks of a specific shape.

[0003] This structure has two problems. First, after the water freezes inside the ice-making tube, it becomes very hard, resulting in great resistance when it is extruded.

[0004] Secondly, the original ice maker did not have the function of cooling water. In many cases, when customers needed to drink cold water directly, they could only use ice cubes to cool the water before drinking it, which was very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous ice extrusion and cooling water switching structure that can directly output cold water and greatly reduce resistance when extruding ice.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a continuous extrusion ice switching cooling water structure, comprising an ice-making tube, a spiral auger disposed within the ice-making tube, and an ice chamber. An evaporator sleeve is fitted over the ice-making tube, and the evaporator sleeve has a coolant inlet and an outlet. A water inlet is located at the bottom of the ice-making tube. The spiral auger is driven to rotate by a motor. The bottom of the ice chamber is higher in the middle and lower around the perimeter. A first through hole is located at the center of the bottom of the ice chamber, and an ice guide plate is disposed on the first through hole. The top of the ice-making tube... Connected to the first through hole, the device also includes an ice-water separation plate, which is located at the bottom of the ice chamber. A flow guide is located in the middle of the ice-water separation plate, at the opening of the first through hole. An overflow port is located between the flow guide and the bottom of the ice chamber. A water passage hole is provided on the spiral reamer, with the inlet of the water passage hole located inside the ice-making tube and the outlet of the water passage hole located at the top of the spiral reamer. A second through hole is provided around the perimeter of the ice chamber, and the second through hole is connected to the water outlet pipe. In operation, the evaporator sleeve cools the ice-making tube. Cold water enters from the bottom of the ice-making tube, gradually freezes, and then, after passing through the ice guide plate, becomes ice blocks of a specific shape. Simultaneously, the cold water inside the ice-making tube flows out from the top of the spiral reamer through the water passage and onto the ice guide plate. This water softens the ice blocks passing through the ice guide plate, making it easier for the ice blocks to pass through. Some of the cold water freezes along with these passing ice blocks, while the remaining portion melts into ice water, flows out from the overflow port, and then enters the second through-hole. This ice water can be removed through the water outlet pipe connected to the second through-hole. This structure allows us to produce ice water simultaneously with making ice blocks.

[0007] Preferably, a stirrer is provided at the top of the spiral reamer, and the stirrer rotates together with the spiral reamer. A stirring rod is arranged around the periphery of the stirrer, extending towards the ice-water separation plate. A water channel is provided inside the stirrer, guiding the upward flow of water from the top of the water inlet to the bottom of the stirrer for outflow. When the stirrer is in use, the spiral reamer rotates, driving the stirring rod to rotate. As the stirring rod rotates, it conveys ice blocks from the ice chamber to the outlet. The water channel inside the stirrer allows water to flow out from the side wall of the stirrer, directly pouring onto the ice guide plate to melt the ice blocks.

[0008] Preferably, the ice-water separation plate is provided with ribs. When the stirring rod moves the ice block, it can lift the bottom of the ice block when passing the ribs, thus preventing the bottom of the ice block from sticking to the ice-water separation plate.

[0009] Preferably, the ice guide plate is provided with multiple shaping holes. The shape of the shaping holes directly determines the shape of the ice block.

[0010] Preferably, the side of the stirrer above the ice guide plate is a conical surface. When ice blocks extruded from the molding hole come into contact with the conical surface, they can be broken.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: During use, the evaporator sleeve cools the ice-making tube. Cold water enters from the bottom of the ice-making tube, gradually freezes, and then, after passing through the ice guide plate, becomes ice blocks of a specific shape. Simultaneously, the cold water inside the ice-making tube flows out from the top of the spiral reamer through the water passage and flows above the ice guide plate. This water softens the ice blocks passing through the ice guide plate, making it easier for the ice blocks to pass through. Some of the cold water freezes along with these passing ice blocks, while the remaining portion melts into ice water, flows out from the overflow port, and then enters the second through hole. This ice water can be removed through the water outlet pipe connected to the second through hole. With this structure, we can produce ice water simultaneously with ice blocks.

[0019] 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.

[0020] This utility model embodiment provides a continuous ice extrusion switching cooling water structure, such as... Figures 1 to 6 The diagram illustrates a continuous ice extrusion and cooling water switching structure, comprising an ice-making pipe 1, a spiral cutter 2 disposed within the ice-making pipe 1, and an ice chamber 3.

[0021] The ice-making tube 1 is fitted with an evaporator sleeve 4, which has a coolant inlet and an outlet. The liquid coolant enters through the inlet, turns into a gaseous state, and exits through the outlet, carrying away heat from the evaporator and the ice-making tube in the process. The bottom of the ice-making tube 1 is provided with a water inlet.

[0022] The spiral reamer 2 is driven to rotate by a motor. The spiral reamer 2 is provided with a water passage hole 21, the inlet of which is located inside the ice-making tube 1, and the outlet of which is located at the top of the spiral reamer 2.

[0023] The bottom of the ice chamber 3 is higher in the middle and lower around the perimeter. A first through hole 31 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the ice chamber 3, and an ice guide plate 5 is provided on the first through hole 31.

[0024] The top of the ice-making tube 1 is connected to the first through hole 31.

[0025] It also includes an ice-water separation plate 6, which is located at the bottom of the ice chamber 3. A flow guide 61 is provided in the middle of the ice-water separation plate 6. The flow guide 61 is located at the opening of the first through hole 31. An overflow port 62 is provided between the flow guide 61 and the bottom of the ice chamber 3.

[0026] A second through hole 32 is provided around the perimeter of the ice chamber 3, and the second through hole 32 is connected to the water outlet pipe 33.

[0027] A stirrer 22 is mounted on the top of the spiral reamer 2, and rotates together with the spiral reamer 2. A stirring rod 221 is arranged around the periphery of the stirrer 22, extending towards the ice-water separation plate. A water passage 222 is provided inside the stirrer 22, guiding the upward flow of water from the top of the water inlet to the bottom of the stirrer 22. The side of the stirrer 22 above the ice guide plate 5 is conical. When ice blocks extruded from the molding hole contact the conical surface, they can be broken. In use, the spiral reamer rotates, driving the stirring rods to rotate. As the stirring rods rotate, they transport the ice blocks in the ice chamber towards the outlet. The water passage inside the stirrer allows water to flow out from the side wall of the stirrer, directly onto the ice guide plate, melting the ice blocks.

[0028] The stirrer 22 is equipped with a guide pipe 2a, and the top of the spiral auger 2 communicates with the guide pipe 2a. The guide pipe 2a has water outlets 223 on both its top and side. The presence of water outlets on both the top and side prevents clogging.

[0029] The ice guide plate 5 is provided with multiple shaping holes 51. The shape of the shaping holes directly determines the shape of the ice block.

[0030] The ice-water separation plate 6 is provided with ribs 63. When the stirring rod moves the ice block, it can lift the bottom of the ice block when passing the ribs, thus preventing the bottom of the ice block from sticking to the ice-water separation plate.

[0031] In operation, the evaporator sleeve cools the ice-making tube. Cold water enters from the bottom of the ice-making tube, gradually freezes, and then, after passing through the ice guide plate, becomes ice blocks of a specific shape. Simultaneously, the cold water inside the ice-making tube flows out from the top of the spiral reamer through the water passage and onto the ice guide plate. This water softens the ice blocks passing through the ice guide plate, making it easier for the ice blocks to pass through. Some of the cold water freezes along with these passing ice blocks, while the remaining portion melts into ice water, flows out from the overflow port, and then enters the second through-hole. This ice water can be removed through the water outlet pipe connected to the second through-hole. This structure allows us to produce ice water simultaneously with making ice blocks.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
