In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the various specific technical features / embodiments in this utility model will not be described separately.

[0022] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that uses refrigerant to absorb heat in an evaporator, causing water to freeze into ice. Traditional ice makers typically use a side-mounted water inlet to supply water to the ice-making container, meaning that the water inlet connector and water inlet pipe are located on the side of the machine body. This occupies a certain amount of lateral space and limits the ultra-thin design of the equipment.

[0023] To address this issue and promote the ultra-thin design of equipment, this utility model proposes an ice maker.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ice maker provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes an ice-making component and a water system. The ice-making component includes a refrigerator body 11, a cover plate 12 covering the top of the refrigerator body 11, and an ice-making box 13 disposed inside the refrigerator body 11. The cover plate 12 is provided with a first water supply channel 121 that communicates with the cavity of the ice-making box 13. The water system includes a first water supply pipe 21 that communicates with the first water supply channel 121.

[0025] Traditional ice makers typically supply water to the ice-making container 13 from the side of the refrigerator body 11. However, this invention features a cover plate 12 on the top of the refrigerator body 11, with a first water delivery channel 121 communicating with the cavity of the ice-making container 13. A first delivery pipe 21 supplies water to the ice-making container 13; specifically, the outlet of the first water delivery pipe 21 is connected to the first water delivery channel 121. Thus, when the water system is running, water from the first water delivery pipe 21 flows into the first water delivery channel 121 and then into the ice-making container 13, filling it with water. Clearly, in this invention, the first water delivery pipe 21 no longer enters from the side of the refrigerator body 11, but instead connects from top to bottom to the first water delivery channel 121 on the cover plate 12. This avoids the pipes occupying lateral space and facilitates the ultra-thin design of the ice maker.

[0026] The refrigerator body 11 is a box structure with an open top, and the cover 12 can be detachably installed on the top of the refrigerator body 11. For example, the cover 12 and the refrigerator body 11 can be connected by snap-fit ​​or screws. The cover 12 and the refrigerator body 11 are detachably connected, which makes it convenient for users or maintenance personnel to open the cover 12 to inspect or clean the internal components of the refrigerator body 11.

[0027] The ice-making assembly also includes an evaporator 14, which includes evaporation tubes 141 and multiple ice-making columns 142 spaced apart from the evaporation tubes 141. Each ice-making column 142 extends at least partially into the cavity of the ice-making box 13, thus contacting the water inside the ice-making box 13. The refrigerant flowing within the evaporator 14 transfers cooling energy to the ice-making columns 142, and then through the ice-making columns 142 to the water inside the ice-making box 13, causing the water in the ice-making box 13 to condense into ice. Because the ice-making columns 142 have a columnar structure, the ice blocks formed on the multiple ice-making columns 142 can be bullet-shaped.

[0028] Furthermore, the top surface of the cover plate 12 may be provided with a first receiving groove 122, the first water supply pipe 21 is at least partially disposed in the first receiving groove 122, and the first water supply channel 121 is disposed on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 122.

[0029] Specifically, the first receiving groove 122 is a strip-shaped groove set on the top surface of the cover plate 12. The first water supply channel 121 is set on the bottom wall of the first receiving groove 122 and extends through to the bottom surface of the cover plate 12. One end of the first receiving groove 122 extends to one side edge of the cover plate 12. The first water supply pipe 21 has a water outlet pipe that extends from the side edge into the first receiving groove 122 and extends along the first receiving groove 122 to the first water supply channel 121 to communicate with the first water supply channel 121. Embedding the water outlet pipe of the first water supply pipe 21 in the first receiving groove 122 allows the water outlet of the first water supply pipe 21 to sink, preventing the first water supply pipe 21 from protruding from the top surface of the cover plate 12 and occupying vertical space. This ensures that the vertical dimension of the whole machine will not increase the vertical space occupied due to the first water supply pipe 21 being connected from top to bottom, thus ensuring that the horizontal and vertical space occupies by the equipment is minimized.

[0030] In this embodiment of the ice maker, the water system further includes a second water supply pipe 22, which is connected to the chamber of the ice container 13 to drain excess water from the ice container 13. Similarly, the cover plate 12 may also have a second water supply channel 123 connected to the chamber of the ice container 13, with the second water supply pipe 22 connected to the second water supply channel 123. In this embodiment, the water system injects water into the chamber of the ice container 13 from top to bottom through the first water supply channel 121 on the cover plate 12, and drains excess water from the ice container 13 from bottom to top through the second water supply channel 123 on the cover plate 12, while avoiding the occupation of lateral space by the first water supply pipe 21 and the second water supply pipe 22, ensuring the ultra-thin design of the machine body.

[0031] Similarly, the top surface of the cover plate 12 may be provided with a second receiving groove 124, the second water supply pipe 22 is at least partially disposed in the second receiving groove 124, and the second water supply channel 123 is disposed on the bottom wall of the second receiving groove 124.

[0032] Specifically, the second receiving groove 124 is a strip-shaped groove provided on the top surface of the cover plate 12, and is spaced apart from the first receiving groove 122. The second water supply channel 123 is provided on the bottom wall of the second receiving groove 124 and extends through to the bottom surface of the cover plate 12. One end of the second receiving groove 124 extends to one side edge of the cover plate 12. The second receiving groove 124 and the first receiving groove 122 can extend to the same side edge of the cover plate 12, or they can extend to different side edges. The second water supply pipe 22 has a water outlet pipe that extends from one side edge into the second receiving groove 124 and extends along the second receiving groove 124 to the second water supply channel 123 to communicate with the second water supply channel 123. By embedding the outlet end of the second water supply pipe 22 into the second receiving groove 124, the outlet end of the second water supply pipe 22 can be lowered, preventing the second water supply pipe 22 from protruding from the top surface of the cover plate 12 and occupying vertical space. This ensures that the vertical dimension of the whole machine will not increase due to the second water supply pipe 22 being connected from top to bottom, thus minimizing the lateral and vertical space occupied by the equipment.

[0033] In some embodiments of the ice maker of this utility model, the water system further includes a water conveying component 23. The water conveying component 23 is disposed between the cover plate 12 and the ice container 13, serving to connect the first water conveying channel 121 and the chamber of the ice container 13, as well as to connect the chamber of the ice container 13 and the second water conveying channel 123. Thus, when the water system is running, water from the first water pipe 21 flows into the first water conveying channel 121 and then into the water conveying component 23, and then into the chamber of the ice container 13. When the water level in the ice container 13 reaches the height of the water conveying component 23, the water in the ice container 13 flows in reverse through the water conveying component 23, the second water conveying channel 123, and the second water pipe 22 to be discharged outwards. The arrangement of the water conveying component 23 ensures a clear flow path for the water inlet and outlet of the ice container 13.

[0034] Reference Figures 4 to 7 The water supply component 23 may include a first guide tube 231, a second guide tube 232, and a third guide tube 233. The first guide tube 231 is closed at one end and open at the other end, and the opening of the first guide tube 231 is connected to the first water supply channel 121. The second guide tube 232 is closed at one end and open at the other end, and the opening of the second guide tube 232 is connected to the second water supply channel 123. The third guide tube 233 is horizontally disposed in the cavity of the ice box 13, and both ends of the third guide tube 233 are connected to the first guide tube 231 and the second guide tube 232 respectively. A water passage hole 2331 is formed in the wall of the third guide tube 233.

[0035] Specifically, the water supply component 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the ice maker 13. The water supply component 23 includes a first guide tube 231 and a second guide tube 232 arranged parallel and vertically. The lower ends of the first guide tube 231 and the second guide tube 232 extend into the cavity of the ice maker 13. A third guide tube 233 is arranged horizontally within the cavity of the ice maker 13. One end of the third guide tube 233 is connected to the first guide tube 231, and the other end is connected to the second guide tube 232. The upper ends of the first guide tube 231 and the second guide tube 232 are connected to the first water supply channel 121 and the second water supply channel 123, respectively. The lower ends of both the first guide tube 231 and the second guide tube 232 are closed. Therefore, when the water system is running, the water in the first water supply pipe 21 flows into the first water supply channel 121 and then into the first guide pipe 231, and then into the third guide pipe 233. It then flows into the ice box 13 chamber through the water passage hole 2331 on the third guide pipe 233. When the water level in the ice box 13 reaches the height of the water passage hole 2331, the excess water in the ice box 13 flows back into the third guide pipe 233, the second water supply channel 123 and the second water supply pipe 22 and is discharged outward.

[0036] The third guide tube 233 has a first end 2333 facing the first guide tube 231 and a second end 2334 facing the second guide tube 232. The water passage 2331 includes a first water passage 2331a and a second water passage 2331b. The first water passage 2331a is disposed on the tube wall of the first end 2333, and the second water passage 2331b is disposed on the tube wall of the second end 2334. Thus, after the water from the first guide tube 231 flows into the third guide tube 233, it will flow into the ice container 13 from the first water passage 2331a at the first end 2333. When the water level in the ice container 13 reaches the height of the second water passage 2331b, the excess water in the ice container 13 will flow back into the second end 2334 of the third guide tube 233, the second water supply channel 123, and the second water supply pipe 22 through the second water passage 2331b and be discharged outward.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The first water passage hole 2331a and the second water passage hole 2331b can be circular holes, and at least two of each type are provided. The number of second water passage holes 2331b can be the same as or different from the number of first water passage holes 2331a; no restriction is placed here. At least two first water passage holes 2331a are spaced apart along the length of the third guide pipe 233, and at least two second water passage holes 2331b are also spaced apart along the length of the third guide pipe 233. Providing at least two of each type avoids the problem of slow efficiency associated with single-point water inlet and outlet.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first water passage 2331a and the second water passage 2331b can be strip-shaped holes. In this case, one of each type of water passage 2331a and 2331b is provided, and the first water passage 2331a and the second water passage 2331b extend along the length of the third guide tube 233. Setting the first water passage 2331a and the second water passage 2331b as strip-shaped holes allows them to have larger flow cross-sections, and also avoids the problem of slow efficiency with single-point water inlet and single-point water outlet.

[0039] Wherein, the first end 2333 is the water inlet end, and the flow cross-section of the second water passage 2331b can be larger than the flow cross-section of the first water passage 2331a. For example, in... Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the diameter of the water passage 2331 gradually increases from the first end 2333 to the second end 2334. Specifically, the first end 2333 of the third guide tube 233 is the water inlet, and the second end 2334 is the water outlet. According to Bernoulli's principle, the smaller diameter of the first end 2333 allows for a larger inlet pressure, enabling water to be injected into the ice-making box 13 with higher dynamic pressure, causing the water inside the ice-making box 13 to flow and resulting in ice with higher transparency. The larger diameter of the second end 2334 allows for a lower outlet pressure, allowing excess water to drain smoothly and naturally.

[0040] The first water passage 2331a and the second water passage 2331b can be arranged in the same direction or in opposite directions. Arranging the first water passage 2331a and the second water passage 2331b in opposite directions separates the water inlet and outlet areas, preventing interference between the inlet and outlet water flows and the formation of eddies. Preferably, the second water passage 2331b can be arranged facing the ice-making column 142, and the first water passage 2331a can be arranged in opposite directions to the second water passage 2331b, that is, the first water passage 2331a is oriented away from the ice-making column 142. This arrangement prevents the water ejected from the first water passage 2331a from carrying away the cold energy of the ice-making column 142, eroding the already formed ice on the ice-making column 142, and preventing the already formed ice from deforming.

[0041] Reference Figure 7 In at least one embodiment, a partition 2332 may be provided inside the third guide tube 233. The partition 2332 is located in the middle of the third guide tube 233, thereby dividing the third guide tube 233 into a first end 2333 facing the first guide tube 231 and a second end 2334 facing the second guide tube 232. The partition 2332 can effectively isolate the chamber at the first end 2333 and the chamber at the second end 2334 of the third guide tube 233, avoiding mutual interference between the inlet flow path and the outlet flow path.

[0042] The water conveying component 23 may also include reinforcing ribs 234, which are disposed between the first guide pipe 231 and the second guide pipe 232, with both ends of the reinforcing ribs 234 connected to the walls of the first guide pipe 231 and the second guide pipe 232, respectively. Specifically, the reinforcing ribs 234 are integrally formed with the first guide pipe 231 and the second guide pipe 232 through injection molding. The reinforcing ribs 234 can be block-shaped ribs or multiple ribs spaced apart. The inclusion of reinforcing ribs 234 can improve the structural strength of the water conveying component 23 and enhance its overall resistance to deformation and impact.

[0043] The water supply component 23 may also include a first mounting base 235 and a second mounting base 236 for fixed connection with the cover plate 12. The first mounting base 235 protrudes from the periphery of the first guide tube 231, and the second mounting base 236 protrudes from the periphery of the second guide tube 232. The first mounting base 235 and the second mounting base 236 are at the same height.

[0044] Specifically, the first mounting base 235 and the second mounting base 236 can be fixedly connected to the cover plate 12 by screws or snap-fit ​​structure. The first mounting base 235 protrudes from the periphery of the first guide tube 231, and the second mounting base 236 protrudes from the periphery of the second guide tube 232. The first guide tube 231 has a portion that protrudes upward from the first mounting base 235, and the second guide tube 232 has a portion that protrudes upward from the second mounting base 236. The protruding portion of the first guide tube 231 is inserted into the first water supply channel 121 on the cover plate 12 to communicate with the first water supply channel 121, and the protruding portion of the second guide tube 232 is inserted into the second water supply channel 123 on the cover plate 12 to communicate with the second water supply channel 123. The first guide tube 231 and the second guide tube 232 have the same length, and the first mounting base 235 and the second mounting base 236 are at the same height, so that the first guide tube 231 and the second guide tube 232 can extend into the cover plate 12 to the same depth, and the first guide tube 231 and the second guide tube 232 can be hung at the same height, so that the third guide tube 233 can be installed horizontally.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
