Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transparent ice making technology, and in particular relates to a distribution pipe for a cube ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] The distribution pipe of the cube ice maker is a key component in the water circuit system of the ice maker. Its main function is to evenly distribute the water delivered by the water supply system to the ice-making units such as the evaporator or ice tray of the ice maker, ensuring that each ice-making area receives a stable and equal amount of water. This ensures that the generated cube ice is uniform in size and shape, and at the same time avoids the decrease in ice-making efficiency or ice-making failure due to insufficient water in some areas. It is an important part of maintaining the stable and efficient operation of the cube ice maker.

[0003] However, existing devices suffer from uneven water flow and uncontrollable flow direction during the ice-making process, which leads to quality defects in the produced ice cubes, such as insufficient transparency, localized ice gaps, and incomplete ice shapes. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a diversion pipe for a cube ice maker. By setting a diversion part, it solves the problems of uneven water flow and uncontrollable flow direction in the ice-making process, which will lead to quality defects such as insufficient transparency, local missing ice, and incomplete ice shape in the produced cube ice.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a distribution pipe for a cube ice maker, comprising an ice maker and further comprising: a flow guide section disposed on the ice maker; a filter section disposed on the ice maker; the flow guide section comprising a flow guide assembly mounted on the ice maker; and a processing assembly mounted inside the ice maker; the flow guide assembly comprising a flow guide pipe fixedly connected to the top of the ice maker, the outer wall of the flow guide pipe having a 3 mm double water outlet and a plurality of 2.5 mm double water outlets, each of the 2.5 mm double water outlets and the 3 mm double water outlets having a flow guide protrusion, and four 2.5 mm double water outlets being provided, all located on the left side of the flow guide pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the filtration section includes a filtration assembly mounted on an ice maker and a fixing assembly mounted on the filtration assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the processing assembly includes several ice molds fixedly connected to the front of the ice maker, each ice mold being adapted to several 2.5 mm double water outlets and 3 mm double water outlets, and five ice molds are provided.

[0009] Furthermore, the filtering assembly includes L-shaped filter screens disposed on top of several ice molds. Support rods are fixedly connected to the tops of the L-shaped filter screens. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the left side of each support rod. Two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the left side of each fixing block. Sliding blocks are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two sliding rods. Each sliding rod has an elastic element. A limiting element is provided on the fixing block. The right side of the sliding block contacts the ice maker. The elastic element includes springs wound around the outer walls of the two sliding rods. One end of each spring is fixedly connected to the fixing block, and the other end of each spring is fixedly connected to the sliding block. The limiting element includes a screw fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing block. A nut is threaded onto the outer wall of the screw, and the screw passes through the sliding block and is slidably connected to it.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a slot on the right side of the ice maker, a second screw is fixedly connected to the right side of the support rod, the right end of the second screw extends out of the slot, a second nut is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second screw, and the outer wall of the second screw is slidably connected to the slot.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. By setting up a flow guide, the diversion pipe has a water outlet above each ice mold. The leftmost outlet is a 3.0mm diameter double outlet, and the rightmost outlet is four 2.5mm diameter double outlets to balance the water flow. The four 2.5mm double outlets and one 3.0mm double outlet on the flow guide are all at a 60° water outlet angle to multiple ice molds to increase the water flow velocity on the surface of the ice mold. All double outlets are designed as flow guide protrusions to solve the problem of convergence and deviation caused by the non-straight water flow trajectory. This allows for precise control of the water flow into the ice mold, ensuring that water flows through all surfaces inside the ice mold and guaranteeing the transparency and integrity of the ice block.

[0013] 2. By setting up a filter section, when disassembling and cleaning the L-shaped filter screen, first turn the nut on screw one outward to release its limit on the sliding block. The sliding block will separate from the fixed block under the guidance of the slide rod and the spring force, completing the disassembly of one side of the top support rod of the filter screen. Then turn the nut on screw two outward to remove screw two from the slot of the ice maker, and all L-shaped filter screens on the support rod can be disassembled as a whole. This design can realize quick disassembly and cleaning of the filter screen, reduce equipment downtime for maintenance and improve operational convenience.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a flow divider for a cube ice maker, including an ice maker 1, and further including: a flow guide 2, which is disposed on the ice maker 1; and a filter 3, which is disposed on the ice maker 1.

[0025] The flow guiding section 2 includes a flow guiding assembly 21, which is installed on the ice maker 1; and a processing assembly 22, which is installed inside the ice maker 1. The flow guiding assembly 21 includes a flow guiding pipe 211 fixedly connected to the top of the ice maker 1. The outer wall of the flow guiding pipe 211 has a 3 mm double water outlet 212 and a plurality of 2.5 mm double water outlets 213. Each of the plurality of 2.5 mm double water outlets 213 and the 3 mm double water outlets 212 is provided with a flow guiding boss 214. There are four 2.5 mm double water outlets, all located on the left side of the flow guiding pipe 211. The processing assembly 22 includes a plurality of ice molds 221 fixedly connected to the front of the ice maker 1. Each of the plurality of ice molds 221 is adapted to the plurality of 2.5 mm double water outlets 213 and 3 mm double water outlets 212. There are five ice molds 221. The flow guide 2 is provided, with water outlets above each ice mold corresponding to the flow divider pipe. The leftmost outlet is a double outlet with a diameter of 3.0mm, and the rightmost outlet is a double outlet with a diameter of 2.5mm. This design aims to balance the water flow. At the same time, the four double outlets 213 with a diameter of 2.5mm and the one double outlet 212 with a diameter of 3.0mm on the flow guide pipe 211 are all at a 60° water outlet angle with the multiple ice molds 221, thereby increasing the water flow velocity on the surface of the ice mold. In addition, all the above-mentioned double outlets are designed as flow guide protrusions 214. The core function of this structure is to solve the problem that the water flow trajectory is not straight due to its own flow velocity, which causes the water flow from the two holes to deviate and ultimately affect the ice shape. Through this structure, the water flow into the ice mold can be precisely controlled to ensure that water flows through every surface inside the ice mold, thereby ensuring the transparency and integrity of the ice cube.

[0026] The filtration section 3 includes a filter assembly 31, which is mounted on the ice maker 1; and a fixing assembly 32, which is mounted on the filter assembly 31. The filter assembly 31 includes L-shaped filter screens 311 disposed on top of several ice molds 221. Support rods 312 are fixedly connected to the top of the several L-shaped filter screens 311. Fixing blocks 313 are fixedly connected to the left side of the support rods 312. Two sliding rods 314 are fixedly connected to the left side of the fixing blocks 313. Sliding blocks 315 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the two sliding rods 314. Each of the two sliding rods 314 is provided with an elastic... The component includes a limiting element on the fixing block 313, a sliding block 315 whose right side contacts the ice maker 1, a fixing assembly 32 including a slot 321 on the right side of the ice maker 1, a screw 322 fixedly connected to the right side of the support rod 312, the right end of the screw 322 extending outside the slot 321, a nut 323 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 322, and the outer wall of the screw 322 slidably connected to the slot 321. The elastic element includes springs 316 wound around the outer walls of the two sliding rods 314, one end of each spring 316 fixedly connected to the fixing block 313. The other end of the spring 316 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 315. The limiting component includes a screw 317 fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed block 313. A nut 318 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 317. The screw 317 passes through the sliding block 315 and is slidably connected to the sliding block 315. By setting the filter part 3, when the L-shaped filter screen 311 intercepts impurities and needs to be disassembled for cleaning, the operation steps are as follows: First, rotate the nut 318 on the screw 317 outward to release its limitation on the sliding block 315 on the outer wall of the screw 317. After the sliding block 315 is released from the limitation... Guided by the two sliding rods 314 and pushed by the return spring 316, the filter screen will separate from the fixing block 313 on the other side of the nut 318, completing the disassembly of one side of the top support rod 312. Then, rotate the nut 323 on the other screw 322 outward to remove the screw 322 on the other side of the support rod 312 from the slot 321 of the ice maker 1, thus completing the overall disassembly of all L-shaped filter screens 311 on the support rod 312. This design enables quick disassembly and cleaning of the filter screen, reduces equipment downtime for maintenance, and improves operational convenience.

[0027] It should be noted that the control of the ice maker 1 in this application can be achieved by using a program set in the control panel and inputting relevant parameters as needed for automated control. This control method can be implemented using existing technologies, such as PLC.

[0028] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: Each ice mold is provided with a water outlet above the diversion pipe. The leftmost outlet has a 3.0mm diameter dual outlet, and the rightmost outlet has four 2.5mm diameter dual outlets. This design aims to balance the water flow. Simultaneously, the four 2.5mm dual outlets 213 and one 3.0mm dual outlet 212 on the guide pipe 211 are all at a 60° outlet angle to the multiple ice molds 221, thereby increasing the water flow velocity on the ice mold surface. Furthermore, all the aforementioned dual outlets... Designed in the shape of a guide protrusion 214, the core function of this structure is to solve the problem of water flow not following a straight trajectory due to its own velocity, thus causing the water flow from the two converging holes to deviate and ultimately affecting the ice shape. This structure allows for precise control of the water flow into the ice mold, ensuring that water flows through every surface inside the ice mold, thereby guaranteeing the transparency and integrity of the ice cube. The water flow within the guide pipe 211 flows through one 3.0mm double outlet 212 and four 2.5mm double outlets 213 to the corresponding multi-channel ice maker 1. Before the ice mold 221 is installed, it must first pass through the L-shaped filter screen 311 set on the top of the ice mold 221 to complete the filtration and interception of impurities. This setting can prevent impurities from entering the ice mold and prevent ice mold defects or ice purity from being affected. When the L-shaped filter screen 311 intercepts impurities and needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the operation steps are as follows: First, turn the nut 318 on the screw 317 outward to release its restriction on the sliding block 315 on the outer wall of the screw 317. After the sliding block 315 is released from the restriction, it will be guided by the two sliding rods 314 and the outer wall spring. Under the reset thrust of the spring 316, the filter screen is separated from the fixing block 313 on the other side of the nut 318, completing the disassembly of one side of the top support rod 312. Then, the nut 323 on the other screw 322 is rotated outward to remove the screw 322 on the other side of the support rod 312 from the slot 321 of the ice maker 1, thus completing the overall disassembly of all L-shaped filter screens 311 on the support rod 312. This design enables quick disassembly and cleaning of the filter screen, reduces equipment downtime for maintenance, and improves operational convenience.
