Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a manufacturing machine 100 is provided in some embodiments of the present application. The machine 100 includes a water inlet 10, an ice making mechanism 20, and a water making mechanism 30. The water inlet 10 is used for externally connecting external liquid. The ice making mechanism 20 includes an ice making member 21 and an ice making pipe 22, one end of the ice making pipe 22 is communicated with the water inlet 10, and the other end is communicated with the ice making member 21, and the ice making member 21 is used for receiving the liquid conveyed by the water inlet 10 and can make the liquid into ice cubes. The water making mechanism 30 comprises a refrigerating piece 31, a water storage piece 32 and a water making pipeline 33, one end of the water making pipeline 33 is communicated with the water inlet part 10, the other end of the water making pipeline 33 is communicated with the water storage piece 32, two ends of the refrigerating piece 31 are respectively communicated with the ice making piece 21 and the water storage piece 32, and cool air in the ice making piece 21 is conveyed to the water storage piece 32 so as to make the liquid in the water storage piece 32 into ice water.

As shown in fig. 3, the water storage member 32 may be in a cylindrical shape, the water storage member 32 may include a can body and a can cover, three mounting pieces having mounting holes may be welded to the bottom of the can body, and bolts may be used to pass through the mounting holes to fix the water storage member 32. The tank cover is provided with a handle, and the tank cover and the tank body can be connected through bolts.

When ice cubes are produced by the machine 100, external liquid can be injected into the water inlet 10, and the liquid can flow into the ice making member 21 along the ice making pipe 22, and the ice making member 21 can refrigerate the liquid to obtain ice cubes.

When ice water is prepared by the preparation member, external liquid can be injected into the water inlet 10, and the liquid can flow into the water storage member 32 along the water preparation pipe 33. Since one end of the cooling member 31 communicates with the ice making member 21 and the other end communicates with the water storage member 32, the cooling member 31 can cool the liquid stored in the water storage member 32 to be ice water. When the liquid stored in the water storage part 32 becomes ice water, the ice water can be conveyed to the outside of the preparation part through the pipeline for the user to extract.

Thus, two independent pipelines are arranged in the machine 100, one pipeline is used for preparing ice cubes, and the other pipeline is used for preparing ice water, so that the probability of collision between the ice cubes and the ice water can be reduced, and the ice water can be conveniently obtained by the user continuously.

With continued reference to fig. 2, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the cooling element 31 is wound around the outer wall of the water storage element 32 and is disposed in a spiral shape.

The shape of the water storage member 32 may be, but not limited to, cylindrical, and the refrigerating member 31 is wound around the outer wall of the water storage member 32, so that the refrigerating member 31 can be used to transfer cold to different parts of the water storage member 32, so as to accelerate the probability that the liquid in the water storage member 32 is refrigerated into ice water.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the water storage member 32 has a water inlet 321 and a water outlet 322, the water inlet 321 and the water inlet 10 communicate, and the winding density of the refrigerating member 31 gradually increases from the water inlet 321 to the water outlet 322.

The cooling capacity of the cooling element 31 is continuously reduced from the water inlet 321 to the water outlet 322, so that the winding density of the cooling element 31 near the water outlet 322 can be gradually increased, and the cooling capacity of each part of the water storage element 32 can be as consistent as possible, so that the temperature of the liquid in the water storage element 32 after being cooled is as close as possible.

More specifically, the opening cross section of the cooling element 31 is elliptical. When the refrigerating element 31 and the water storage element 32 are in contact, the contact area between the refrigerating element 31 and the water storage element 32 can be increased as much as possible, so that the cold is transferred to the water storage element 32 to a greater extent, and the loss of cold can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the portion where the refrigerating member 31 and the water storage member 32 contact is made of red copper. The red copper has better heat conductivity, so the material of the contact part of the refrigerating piece 31 and the water storage piece 32 is prepared from red copper, and the cold energy transmission efficiency can be improved.

Of course, in other embodiments, the entire refrigeration member 31 may be entirely made of red copper. Alternatively, a semiconductor refrigeration source may be employed as the refrigeration member 31.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the water making mechanism 30 further includes a storage member 70, where the storage member 70 is in communication with the water storage member 32 and is configured to store ice water from the water storage member 32.

When the liquid in the water storage part 32 is cooled to ice water, some ice water can flow out of the preparation machine 100 directly through the external pipeline communicated with the water storage part 32 for extraction by a user. Other ice water flows into the storage member 70 as standby ice water, and when the amount of ice water in the storage member 32 is insufficient, the ice water in the storage member 70 flows into the storage member 32 to provide ice water for the storage member 32 and then flows out through the external pipeline.

In this way, the storage member 70 can be used to store the standby ice water for providing to the user, so as to reduce the probability that the user cannot continuously extract the ice water due to the insufficient amount of the ice water in the water storage member 32.

Further, in some embodiments, the wall of the water storage 32 is a thermally conductive wall. For example, the water storage member 32 may be made of red copper. Thus, the cooling capacity transferred from the cooling member 31 to the water storage member 32 can be increased to the speed of entering the water storage member 32.

Further, in some embodiments, a temperature sensor 323 is disposed in the water storage member 32, and the temperature sensor 323 is used for detecting the temperature of the liquid in the water storage member 32 and controlling the on-off of the water inlet 321 and the water outlet 322.

Both the water inlet 321 and the water outlet 322 can be provided with a valve and are electrically connected with the temperature sensor 323. When the temperature sensor 323 detects that the temperature of the liquid in the water storage member 32 is too low, the temperature sensor 323 can send a signal, the valve of the water outlet 322 can be opened, and the liquid in the water storage member 32 can flow to the storage member 70 through the valve of the water outlet 322, so that the phenomenon that the liquid in the water storage member 32 is frozen into ice blocks or ice sand is reduced. Subsequently, the valve of the water inlet 321 may be opened, and the external liquid may flow into the water storage 32 through and be cooled.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the machine 100 further includes a filter 90, one end of the filter 90 is in communication with the water inlet 10, and the other end of the filter 90 is in communication with the ice making pipe 22 and the water making pipe 33, respectively.

In other words, the side of the filter member 90 facing away from the water inlet 10 may be provided with two branches, one of which communicates with the refrigerating mechanism and the other communicates with the ice making mechanism 20.

When the external liquid enters the preparation member through the water inlet 10, the liquid firstly flows into the filter member 90, and after flowing out of the filter member 90, the liquid can be filtered by the filter member 90 and divided into two branches, one branch flows into the refrigerating mechanism, and the other branch flows into the ice making mechanism 20.

In this way, before the external liquid flows into the refrigerating mechanism and the ice making mechanism 20, the external liquid is filtered by the filter 90, so that harmful substances can be filtered, and the quality of the liquid is improved.

As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the harvester 100 further includes a compressor 80, the compressor 80 being in communication with the ice making member 21 and providing a source of cooling for the ice making member 21.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the manufacturing machine 100 further includes a corrugated fin condenser 110, a dryer, a condensing fan 120, an electronic expansion valve 130, a copper nickel plating evaporation pan, an ice bump bar, a circulating water pump, a water level floater, and the like. Among them, a copper nickel plating evaporation tray can be used as the ice making member 21.

The ice making process is generally as follows, the compressor 80 compresses a low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant into a high-temperature high-pressure gas, and the high-temperature high-pressure gas firstly enters the fin condenser 110 and exchanges heat by the condensing fan 120, thereby cooling and liquefying into a medium-temperature high-pressure liquid. The medium temperature and high pressure liquid enters the dryer to be dried, and then is acted on by the electronic expansion valve 130, and can enter the copper nickel plating evaporation tray (i.e. the refrigerating element 31) to be cooled into ice cubes.

In the process, some of the liquid entering the copper nickel plating evaporation tray can be endothermic evaporated into a low temperature, low pressure gas and returned to the compressor 80 via the refrigeration member 31.

Because the middle section of the refrigerating element 31 is wound around the outer wall of the water storage element 32, the liquid in the water storage element 32 can be refrigerated to prepare ice water in the process that the low-temperature low-pressure air flows to the compressor 80 through the refrigerating element 31.

As shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments, the ice making mechanism 20 further includes a water storage tank 40 and a return pipe (not shown in the drawings), the water storage tank 40 is communicated and disposed between the ice making pipe 22 and the ice making member 21, and two ends of the return pipe are respectively communicated with the water storage tank 40 and the ice making member 21 and are used for flowing water in the ice making member 21 to the water storage tank 40.

When the external liquid flows into the ice making mechanism 20 through the water inlet 10, the external liquid can flow to the water storage tank 40 through the ice making pipe 22 and then flow to the ice making member 21 through the water storage tank 40. When more liquid flows to the ice making member 21, some liquid may flow back to the water storage tank 40 via the return pipe, so as to reduce the overflow of the ice making member 21 due to more liquid therein or to reduce the ice making efficiency.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the ice making mechanism 20 further includes an ice receiving detector 50 and an ice removing assembly 60, the ice receiving detector 50 is disposed in the water storage tank 40 and is used for detecting an actual water level value of the water storage tank 40, the ice making mechanism 20 is used for stopping operation when the actual water level value is lower than a preset water level value, and the ice removing assembly 60 is used for starting operation when the actual water level value is lower than the preset water level value.

Specifically, when the actual water level value in the water storage tank 40 is lower than the preset water level value, the condensing fan 120 and the circulating water pump in the preparing member stop working, the ice making member 21 stops working, and the ice removing assembly 60 can drive the ice cubes in the ice making member 21 to separate from the inner wall of the ice making member 21 and fall into the refrigerator, so that automatic ice making and removing can be realized.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, in some embodiments, the ice removing assembly 60 includes a solenoid valve 61, the solenoid valve 61 communicates with the ice making member 21, and when the ice making mechanism 20 stops operating when the actual water level value is lower than a preset water level value, the solenoid valve 61 is opened and serves to allow high-temperature gas to enter the ice making member 21.

When the ice receiving detector 50 detects that the actual water level in the water storage tank 40 is lower than the preset water level, the condensing fan 120 and the circulating water pump stop working, the ice receiving detector 50 sends a signal to the electromagnetic valve 61, and the electromagnetic valve 61 is opened. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the compressor 80 can be introduced into the ice making member 21 to heat the temperature in the ice making member 21 so that ice cubes adhered to the inner wall of the ice making member 21 can be detached from the inner wall. The fallen ice blocks can slide into the refrigerator under the action of self gravity.

In this way, the working principle of the ice removing assembly 60 is simplified, and the ice cubes inside the ice making member 21 are easily removed.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

The above examples only represent a few embodiments of the present application, which are described in more detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. It should be noted that it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements could be made without departing from the spirit of the present application, which would be within the scope of the present application. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present application is to be determined by the claims appended hereto.
