Detailed description of the invention
Be described further with regard to technical scheme of the present invention below in conjunction with drawings and the specific embodiments.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explain the present invention, be not intended to limit the present invention.
The invention provides a kind of ice maker, referring to figs. 1 through Fig. 3, in one embodiment, this ice maker comprises the ice box 2 of metal material and the heater 4 for heating ice box 2.Heater 4 is arranged on ice box 2.
The ice maker of this embodiment adopts the ice box 2 of metal material, and the heat transfer efficiency of this ice box 2 is high, improves ice making efficiency; And the heater 4 this ice box 2 is provided with for heating ice box 2, and then after ice maker completes ice making, upset ice box 2, such as can manual overturning or automatic turning, then heater 4 pairs of ice boxes 2 heat, ice cube comes off under gravity, and on this ice maker, ice cube easily comes off, and deices without the need to adopting larger moment of torsion to make existing plastics ice box torsional deformation; In addition, do not have penitent ice block in ice box 2 after ice box 2 overturns, avoid causing water level in ice box 2 too high during water filling again and ice cube being sticked together, thus ensure that the quality of ice cube.
With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in this embodiment, further, ice maker also comprises actuator 6, and the outer surface 24 of ice box 2 is provided with rotating shaft 26, and actuator 6 is connected drive shaft 26 with rotating shaft 26 and rotates, to overturn ice box 2.
The ice maker of this embodiment drives ice box 2 to overturn by actuator 6, achieves automatic turning and deices, and then achieve the automatic ice-making function of ice maker.In addition, the present embodiment have employed the ice box 2 of metal material, this actuator 6 can drive ice box 2 to overturn without the need to exporting very large moment of torsion, ice box compared to existing plastic material makes ice box torsional deformation by the larger moment of torsion of applying and deices, the ice maker of the present embodiment deices easily, deices efficiency high, and deices effective, without remaining ice cube, improve ice cube quality.
Further, this actuator 6 is motor, is provided with axis hole in this rotating shaft 26, and the motor shaft of motor inserts in this axis hole, this motor shaft and axis hole tight fit, and then motor shaft rotates, and drives rotating shaft 26 to rotate, ice box 2 is overturn.
In this embodiment, further, this ice box 2 is preferably stainless steel or aluminium alloy, and the ice box 2 adopting stainless steel or aluminium alloy to make has high thermal conductivity, improves heat-transfer effect, ensure that the rigidity that ice box 2 is good simultaneously, avoids distortion.It should be noted that ice box 2 can also adopt other metal materials to make, as long as meet high thermal conductivity and good rigidity.
With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in this embodiment, further, ice box 2 has multiple storage tank 20.Heater 4 comprises the corresponding heating part 40 of each storage tank 20 setting and the connecting portion 42 for connecting heating part 40, and each heating part 40 is arranged on the outer surface of the bottom 22 of corresponding storage tank 20.
