AI Technical Summary
Existing ice makers have difficulty producing large ice blocks because the ice blocks are small and do not fall easily.
The ice maker is equipped with molds and water pipes. When the machine switches to heating mode via a solenoid valve, water is sprayed through the water pipes to accelerate the falling of ice blocks. A water supply system is also used to provide water to form larger ice blocks.
This allows for faster ice drop and the generation of larger ice blocks, thus improving ice-making efficiency.

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that produces ice by cooling water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system. Existing ice makers prevent ice cubes from falling out, and the ice cubes tend to be relatively small.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model needs to provide a simple structure that allows ice cubes to fall faster and produce larger ice cubes. Utility Model Content

The cover plate is detachably mounted on the upper end of the housing. An ice-making chamber is provided inside the housing. An evaporator and a solenoid valve are provided inside the ice-making chamber. The solenoid valve is connected to the evaporator via a conductive wire. The evaporator is fixedly mounted inside an evaporator box. A mold is located at the front end of the evaporator box. A water supply system is provided at the rear end of the ice-making chamber below the mold. The water supply system includes a water tank. An inner tank is provided inside the water tank. The inner tank is connected to a water distribution pipe. The water distribution pipe is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the mold. The upper end of the water tank is also provided with a water bucket bracket, the water bucket bracket is provided with mounting holes for installing water buckets, and the upper end of the water bucket bracket is provided with a water tank cover. The lower end of the mold is also equipped with an ice scraper, and the front end of the mold is also equipped with a water guide pipe. When the solenoid valve is switched to the heating mode, water is sprayed onto the mold through the water guide pipe, which in turn adds to the falling ice.
[0006] Furthermore, the enclosure includes a bottom plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, a front side plate, and a rear cover plate, which are connected end-to-end in sequence. Furthermore, the rear cover plate is provided with several heat dissipation holes.
[0007] Furthermore, the cover plate is a glass cover plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper part of the mold is provided with fixing grooves at both ends, and the water distribution pipe is installed in the fixing grooves during installation.
[0009] Furthermore, a connecting frame is provided on the front side panel. The connecting frame is at an angle to the front side panel. The upper end of the ice-making cavity is fixedly installed on the connecting frame. A fixing frame is provided on the upper end of the connecting frame. The fixing frame is fixed to the upper end of the ice-making cavity by screws. A fixing groove for fixing a glass cover plate is also provided on the fixing frame. The glass cover plate is fixed in the fixing groove by hinge.
[0010] Furthermore, the ice-making cavity is provided with supports on both sides, the rear cover is a U-shaped structure, and the two ends of the rear cover, as well as the first side plate and the second side plate, are fastened to the supports.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: Because this invention also has a water guide pipe at the front end of the mold, when the solenoid valve is switched to the heating mode, water is sprayed onto the mold through the water guide pipe, thereby adding the falling of ice cubes.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an ice maker includes a housing 1 and a cover 2. The cover 2 is unclamped on the upper part of the housing 1. An ice-making chamber 3 is provided inside the housing 1. An evaporator 4 and a solenoid valve are provided inside the ice-making chamber 3. The solenoid valve is connected to the evaporator 4 via a conductive wire. The solenoid valve is also connected to a controller. The controller is also provided with a control panel 5. The heating time of the evaporator 4 is set to about 45 seconds via the control panel 5. Then, water is sprayed onto the ice blocks on the mold 7 through a water pipe 6 to accelerate the de-icing process. The evaporator 4 is fixedly installed inside an evaporator box 8. The mold 7 is located at the front end of the evaporator box 8. A water supply system is provided at the rear end of the ice-making chamber 3 below the mold 7. The water supply system includes a water tank 9. A water tank liner 10 is provided inside the water tank 9. The water tank liner 10 is also connected to a water distribution pipe 11. The water distribution pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the mold 7.
