[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1-9, a direct injection ice evaporator is disclosed, which can be used in an ice maker, the ice evaporator comprising a roller 1, a refrigerant pipe 2 for flowing refrigerant, the refrigerant pipe 2 extending from one end of the roller 1 to the other end, the refrigerant pipe 2 being made of a whole continuous flow pipe, for example, formed by one pipe or sequentially spliced by multiple pipes, for example, one pipe is formed by a whole stainless steel seamless pipe, and multiple pipes are sequentially spliced by multiple stainless steel seamless pipes which are sequentially welded along the axial direction, when the multiple stainless steel seamless pipes are sequentially welded, the transverse space between the adjacent stainless steel seamless pipes can be used to set a plug 32, for example, the adjacent stainless steel seamless pipes can be bridged by the plug 32, so that the adjacent stainless steel seamless pipes are connected together by the plug 32, and then the partition 12 is naturally formed. Of course, from the convenience of manufacturing, it is preferred to use a whole stainless steel seamless pipe as the refrigerant pipe 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, in order to plug the whole stainless steel seamless pipe to form the partition 12, the following structure can be used, as shown in FIG. 2, a transverse opening 27 is formed on the whole continuous flow pipe, and the transverse opening 27 is matched with the plug 32 to form the partition 12.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the refrigerant pipe 2 sequentially has a first section 3, an inner side part 4 and a second section 5 from one end of the roller 1 to the other end, the first section 3 is rotatably sleeved with the end of one end of the roller 1 through a sleeving hole 26, the sleeving hole 26 can be referred to FIG. 9, the second section 5 is rotatably sleeved with the end of the other end of the roller 1 through a sleeving hole 26, and the inner side part 4 is located in the roller 1; the end of one end of the roller 1 is further sleeved with a first support part 6 on the outer periphery of the first section 3, and the end of the other end of the roller 1 is further sleeved with a second support part 7 on the outer periphery of the second section 5, the first support part 6 and the second support part 7 are used to support the roller 1 to rotate together, at the same time, the first sealing ring 8 and the first axial limiting part 28 are arranged in the annular space 12 between the first support part 6 and the first section 3, the first axial limiting part 28 is used to limit the axial movement of the first sealing ring 8, the second sealing ring 9 and the second axial limiting part 29 are arranged in the annular space 12 between the second support part 7 and the second section 5, the second axial limiting part 29 is used to limit the axial movement of the second sealing ring 9, when the first support part 6, the second support part 7 and the roller 1 rotate together, the assembly composed of the first support part 6, the second support part 7 and the roller 1 rotates relative to the refrigerant pipe 2, while the refrigerant pipe 2 does not rotate, so that the refrigeration oil is not easy to leak.

[0036] Therefore, in the production and manufacturing with the present disclosure, the assembly process can refer to the following, the refrigerant pipe 2 sequentially passes through the assembly of the first support part 6, the second support part 7 and the roller 1, and then the first end cover 13 and the second end cover 14 are connected after the first sealing ring 8 and the first axial limiting part 28, the second sealing ring 9 and the second axial limiting part 29 are respectively sleeved on both ends, and the installation is convenient and efficient. Since the refrigerant pipe 2 is made of a whole continuous flow pipe, the axial structure is stable, and also has good strength and support.

[0037] In some embodiments, in order to be more convenient for axial limiting and installation, as shown in FIG. 2, the first segment 3 is provided with a first limiting step 10, and the second segment 5 is provided with a second limiting step 11. After the first end cover 13 is connected with the outer side end of the first support part 6, the first limiting step 10 constitutes the first axial limiting, and after the second end cover 14 is connected with the outer side end of the second support part 7, the second limiting step 11 constitutes the second axial limiting. The refrigerant pipe 2 is axially limited between the first end cover 13 and the second end cover 14 under the action of the first axial limiting and the first axial limiting. In order to be convenient for connection, the first end cover 13 is threadedly connected with the outer side end of the first support part 6, and the second end cover 14 is threadedly connected with the outer side end of the second support part 7.

[0038] Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the first limiting step 10 and the first end cover 13 are provided with a first gasket 15, and the second limiting step 11 and the second end cover 14 are provided with a second gasket 16. In this way, contact occurs through the gasket, avoiding wear to the first limiting step 10 and the second limiting step 11.

[0039] The first gasket 15 and the second gasket 16 preferably adopt oil-containing gaskets, thereby being beneficial to reducing friction.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 9, the first axial limiting part 28 and the second axial limiting part 29 preferably adopt a sleeve form. The first axial limiting part 28 in the sleeve form can be tightly sleeved on the first segment 3, or is further sleeved and then welded, thereby being firmly combined on the first segment 3. Of course, the first axial limiting part 28 can also be loosely fitted on the first segment 3 instead of being tightly connected, and the axial position is limited by the first gasket 15 described below. The first axial limiting part 28 and the second axial limiting part 29 can also not be in the sleeve form, but can also be other structures. Any structure form that can be applied in the present disclosure and achieve the purpose of axial limiting can be adopted.

[0041] In addition to the idea of manufacturing separate parts, it can also be integrally provided, for example, the first axial limiting part 28 is processed or cast on the first segment 3. Similarly, the second segment 5 can also be similarly provided.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the number of the first sealing rings 8 is one or more, the first sealing rings 8 are sleeved on the first section 3 and arranged close to the side of the roller 1, the first axial limiting member 28 is arranged on the first section 3 and arranged away from the side of the roller 1, and the first sealing rings 8 are axially limited between the first axial limiting member 28 and the side of the roller 1; the number of the second sealing rings 9 is one or more, the second sealing rings 9 are arranged on the second section 5 and arranged close to the side of the roller 1, the second axial limiting member 29 is sleeved on the second section 5 and arranged away from the side of the roller 1, and the second sealing rings 9 are axially limited between the second axial limiting member 29 and the side of the roller 1. In this way, better sealing performance is achieved, the refrigerant is prevented from entering the positions where the first axial limiting member 28 and the second axial limiting member 29 are located, and the portions of the first support part 6 and the second support part 7 away from the side of the roller 1 are less likely to be at a low temperature.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 9, the first axial limiting member 28 and the side of the roller 1 form a first containing interval 30, and the first sealing rings 8 are limited in the first containing interval 30 so that the first sealing rings 8 are arranged in a non-axially compressed state; the second axial limiting member 29 and the side of the roller 1 form a second containing interval 31, and the second sealing rings 9 are limited in the second containing interval 31 so that the second sealing rings 9 are arranged in a non-axially compressed state. In this way, the sealing rings are not in a compressed or dead state, and the sealing rings are self-adaptable according to the rotation, thereby achieving better sealing effect and sealing life.

[0044] In the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the inner side part 4 is provided with a partition part 12, and under the partition of the partition part 12, the inner side part 4 is sequentially divided into a first part 4.1 and a second part 4.2 which are not directly communicated in the axial direction, the first section 3 is communicated with the first part 4.1 to form an inflow channel 22, the second part 4.2 is communicated with the second section 5 to form an outflow channel 23, the first part 4.1 is provided with an outlet 24, and the second part 4.2 is provided with a discharge outlet 25; the non-direct communication means that, under the partition of the partition part 12, the refrigerant is directly sprayed into the roller 1 through the inflow channel 22 and the outlet 24, and after the refrigerant absorbs heat and vaporizes, the refrigerant enters the outflow channel 23 through the discharge outlet 25 to be discharged from the roller 1. The arrows shown in FIG. 4 represent the general direction of the flow of the refrigerant.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the outlet 24 is arranged as a plurality of through holes arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the first part 4.1, and the through holes are arranged on the pipe wall of the first part 4.1. In this way, the refrigerant is more beneficially distributed in the roller 1 to improve the refrigeration efficiency, and in addition, there is no need to additionally arrange the capillary structure such as the capillary tube mentioned in the prior art.

[0046] And the outlet 25 is set as a through hole on the pipe wall of the second part 4.2, and the outlet 25 is set close to the end of the other end of the roller 1, so as to further facilitate the distribution of the refrigerant in the roller 1 to improve the refrigeration efficiency.

[0047] The number and flow aperture size of the outlet 24 and the number and flow aperture size of the outlet 25 can be set according to the flow demand of the refrigerant. At present, the number of the outlet 24 is set to 5, and the number of the outlet 25 is set to 1.

[0048] Of course, the specific structure and number of the outlet 24 and the specific structure and number of the outlet 25 can also be other structures, which cannot be exemplified one by one.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the roller 1 can be obtained by a seamless stainless steel pipe with an open barrel body at both ends, and then the first support part 6 and the second support part 7 are welded at both ends of the barrel body respectively, so as to cover the two open ends, so that the first support part 6, the second support part 7 and the roller 1 form an assembly, and the first support part 6 and the second support part 7 can support the roller 1 to rotate together, in addition, the production and manufacturing are simple, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency.

[0050] The length of the roller 1 can form an ice-making surface of different lengths. As shown in FIG. 1, the length of the roller 1 is shorter, and as shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 8 and 9, the length of the roller 1 is longer.

[0051] The disclosure also provides an ice maker, which comprises a compressor, a scraper 17 and the endless ice evaporator. As shown in FIG. 5, the scraper 17 is arranged in the circumferential direction of the endless ice evaporator, and the compressor supplies refrigerant to the refrigerant pipe 2 of the endless ice evaporator.

[0052] The refrigerant ejected from the inner part 4 is circulated by the compressor to rapidly cool the roller 1, and the outer peripheral surface of the roller 1 is cooled to contact the liquid to form an ice layer. As the ice layer thickens, the scraper 17 will contact the ice layer, and under the rotation of the roller 1, the scraper 17 cuts the ice layer to obtain the endless ice.

[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, an ice-making support 19 is further included, and the direct-injection type endless ice evaporator is installed on the ice-making support 19. A first bearing 20 is arranged between the first support part 6 of the direct-injection type endless ice evaporator and the ice-making support 19, and a second bearing 21 is arranged between the second support part 7 of the direct-injection type endless ice evaporator and the ice-making support 19. The direct-injection type endless ice evaporator rotates relative to the ice-making support 19 through the first bearing 20 and the second bearing 21. In this way, the first support part 6, the second support part 7 and the roller 1 form a more stable rotating assembly through the first bearing 20 and the second bearing 21.

[0054] As shown in Fig. 6, in order to drive the roller 1 to rotate, the second support part 7 is provided with a transmission gear 18, which is driven by an electric motor and then by a gear transmission structure, so as to further drive the second support part 7, and then the first support part 6, the second support part 7 and the roller 1 rotate together.

[0055] In understanding the present application, if necessary, the above structure can be understood together with other embodiments / diagrams, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] The above is only an embodiment of the present application for illustration, so equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the patent protection scope of the present application are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
