Ice machine and refrigerator
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of household appliances, especially relate to refrigerator.
Background technology
For the convenience of the user, high-end refrigerator is clamshell doors and French refrigerator especially, generally all at the door body bar desk is set and is used for getting ice, and this structural design to ice machine is had higher requirement.
Present automatic ice maker mainly contains following several: 1, air cooling way, casing ice making, door body are got ice, in the refrigerator of this structure, usually ice machine are installed in the casing, by the distortion ice box ice cube is come off, transmission mechanism is shifted ice cube in the ice bank of body inside onto; 2, direct-cooled mode, the casing ice making, the door body is got ice, in the refrigerator of this structure, usually ice machine and transmission mechanism are contained in the casing, by pipeline cold-producing medium are guided to the ice box back side and carry out rapid ice making, by heater strip ice cube is come off, transmission mechanism is with the ice bank of ice cube push-in door body inside; 3, air cooling way, door ice, door body are got ice, in the refrigerator of this structure, the air channel are set in casing usually, and cold air is blown into a top of body inside ice machine, by the distortion ice box ice are routed up, and ice cube is fallen in the ice bank; 4, direct-cooled mode, door ice, the door body is got ice, in the refrigerator of this structure, usually with pipeline cold-producing medium is drawn in casing, by hinge shaft hole access door body, refrigerant line is fixed on the metal-made ice tray back side, simultaneously, heater strip is also posted at the ice box back side, after making ice cube, the heater strip energising is deviate from ice cube.
At first, from the angle that takes up room, just get with regard to freezing cold section, because above-mentioned several ice machines are all got ice by the mode of upset distortion ice box, this need to take larger space and realize reversing of ice box with regard to having determined it.And above-mentioned the 1st, the 2 two kind of ice machine needs ice machine and transmission mechanism all are contained in the casing its maximum that takes up room in use; The 3rd kind of ice machine needs to draw the air channel in case in use, and it is also larger to take up room.
In addition, from refrigerating method, the 1st and the 3rd kind of ice machine all adopt the air cooling way ice making, namely by cross-ventilated mode transferring heat, efficient is lower, the 2nd and the 4th kind of ice machine then carry out the heat conduction by metal, efficient is higher, on experimental data, the each ice making of convection type generally needs 120 minutes, and conduction pattern then only needs 20 minutes.
In addition, from the view of security, the 1st and the 3rd kind of ice machine do not have in use potential safety hazard, and the 2nd and the 4th kind of ice machine in use owing to cold-producing medium need to be drawn, in case the pipe breakage that exposes can cause refrigrant leakage, whole refrigeration system is affected, even initiation fire.

In description of the invention, need to prove, unless clear and definite regulation and restriction are arranged in addition, term " peace part.
Particularly, ice-making disc 210 comprises ice-making disc main body 211 and bottom 212.Ice-making disc main body 211 top and bottom are opening.Bottom 212 is connected to pivotly the lower ending opening of ice-making disc main body 211 and sentences the opening that opens and closes ice-making disc main body 211 lower ends.Be limited with a plurality of ice boxes 2111 in the ice-making disc main body 211.
Described driven unit comprises that driver part is (not shown, motor for example) with link to each other with described driver part deice parts 220, deice parts 220 rotatable between primary importance (being common state) and the second place (namely deicing state) under the driving of driver part.Wherein, deice parts 220 when parts 220 are positioned at described primary importance and leave ice box 2111 when deicing, and bottom 212 is closed the lower ending opening of ice-making disc main body 211; When deicing parts 220 and be positioned at the described second place, deice parts 220 and stretch to ice box 2111 in order to compress ice cube in the ice box 2111 to deice.
Below with reference to Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b operation principle according to the ice machine 200 of the embodiment of the invention is described.
At first, system's control water valve 42 injects a small amount of water, can freeze rapidly and the gap between bottom 212 and the ice-making disc main body 211 be sealed under the effect of this part water liquid refrigerant within.After this, by controlling water valve 42 to an amount of water of ice box 2111 interior injections, with ice making.Shown in Fig. 2 a, under this common state (being the ice making state), bottom 212 closes at the bottom of ice-making disc main body 211, deices the top that parts 220 then rest on ice-making disc 210.
After finishing ice making, in the time of need to getting ice, deice by driven unit.Get ice during signal when system provides, drive motor drives and deices parts 220 and stretch to ice box 2111 in order to compress ice in the ice box 2111 thereby driver part is started working.Shown in Fig. 2 b, ice cube supports bottom 212 and opens and in the ice bank 300 below dropping under the effect that deices parts 220, thereby can realize deicing.After getting ice and finishing, system sends signal, thereby driver part drives and deices parts 220 reverse movements with away from ice box 2111, so that bottom 212 closes at the opening part of the lower end of ice-making disc main body 211 again.
Ice machine 200 according to the embodiment of the invention, its replace traditional reverse mode that ice-making disc deices and by bottom with deice parts cooperate realize deicing, not only can make structure more simple, compact, and further dwindled the space of shared door body, be conducive to improve utilization rate, the reduction energy consumption of refrigeration space.
In addition, according to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the invention, owing to adopted above-mentioned ice machine 200, so the utilization rate of refrigeration space is higher, energy consumption is lower.
In some embodiments of the invention, be connected by torsion spring 213 between the bottom 212 of ice machine 200 and the ice-making disc main body 211.Thus, can namely realize by simple structure the opening and closing of bottom 212, and this structure is so that bottom 212 can return to closed condition automatically under the effect of elastic restoring force after deicing.
In some embodiments of the invention, a plurality of ice boxes 2111 are along being arranged in left column ice box (corresponding to the left side ice box among Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b) and right row ice box (corresponding to the right side ice box among Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b) on the length direction of ice-making disc main body 211.
Accordingly, deice parts 220 comprise intermeshing the first travelling gear 2201a and the second travelling gear 2201b and link to each other with the first travelling gear 2202a first deice bar 2202a with link to each other with the second travelling gear 2201b second deice bar 2202b.Thereby the first travelling gear 2201a and the second travelling gear 2201b make first to deice bar 2202a and second and deice bar 2202b and stretching to respectively between described left column and right row ice box and the position away from described left column and right row ice box and rotate can rotating under the driving of driver part.Be understandable that, drive rotation with another travelling gear of its engagement thereby any the power transmission shaft among driver part and the first travelling gear 2201a and the second travelling gear 2201b links to each other to drive its rotation.Deice when thus, can namely realize the multiple row ice box by simple structure.
Further preferably, the described ice box of every row is along being arranged in multirow on the width (being the left and right directions of Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b) of ice-making disc main body 211, first deices bar 2202a and second deices bar 2202b and forms multiple tooth pectination, and each described tooth is corresponding to an ice box.Thus, can realize a plurality of ice box uniform stresseds and deice simultaneously.
In addition, be easier to come off in order to make ice cube, a plurality of ice boxes 2111 can be designed as the upper end wide chamfered edge taper in narrow lower end.
