Technical field
The present invention relates to ice machine, more specifically, relate to ice machine with improved ultrasonic vibrator structure.
Background technology
In general, ice machine is used for Water freezes into ice, and is widely used in the household electrical appliance such as refrigerator and water purifier.The quality of ice machine is determined according to the transparency and the intensity of the ice that it is made.
The tradition ice machine comprises cube tray, is used for water is fed to the water system of cube tray, and driver, is used to twist cube tray so that ice cube is discharged from cube tray.The tradition ice machine also comprises icebox, is used to hold the ice that falls down from cube tray, and air removal unit, be used for from the water that is contained in cube tray, removing air.
When the beginning ice-making process, the surface of water is frozen in.Like this, the air that is included in the water can not discharge from water.The air that is included in the ice reduces the transparency and the intensity of ice, thereby makes ice be easy to fragmentation when cube tray discharges.In order to solve such problem, used the method for the water in the fluctuation cube tray.The ice machine that fluctuation is contained in the water in the cube tray comprises the reciprocating motion unit, is used to make cube tray to move back and forth, or ultrasonic vibrator, is used for directly making the water vibration.Comprise that the ice machine that moves back and forth unit and ultrasonic vibrator is disclosed in respectively among korean patent application 1995-18572 and the 2001-26283.
Move back and forth the complex structure of unit and be difficult to and install.And the efficient of removing the air in the water in the cube tray is not so good.
The structure of ultrasonic vibrator is simple relatively.Yet the ultrasonic vibration of ultrasonic vibrator can not act on the water that is contained in the cube tray and is divided into a plurality of packets equably.Like this, it is inhomogeneous to remove the efficient of the air in the water that is contained in the cube tray.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, one aspect of the present invention provides a kind of ice machine, and the air that wherein is included in the water in the packet of cube tray is removed equably.
Additional aspect of the present invention and/or advantage part are set forth by following explanation, and part will be apparent from explanation, or learn by implementing the present invention.
Aforementioned and/or others of the present invention are also by providing a kind of being used for that the ice machine of Water freezes into ice is realized.Described ice machine comprises and is formed with the cube tray of packet with splendid attire water, and the ultrasonic vibrator that is connected to cube tray, is used for cube tray is applied ultrasonic vibration so that to be contained in the ripples of packet moving.
According to an aspect of the present invention, ultrasonic vibrator is connected to the outside of cube tray.
According to an aspect of the present invention, ultrasonic vibrator is removably disposed in the cube tray.
According to an aspect of the present invention, ultrasonic vibrator is provided with a plurality of in cube tray.
Description of drawings

Fig. 2 is the decomposition diagram of the ice machine of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is the perspective view of operation of the ice machine of Fig. 1; With
Fig. 4 is the plane of cube tray of the ice machine of Fig. 2.
The specific embodiment
Below will describe embodiments of the invention in detail, its example is shown in the drawings, and wherein identical Reference numeral is represented components identical in institute's drawings attached.Below embodiment is described to be explained with reference to the drawings the present invention.
Shown in Fig. 1-4, ice machine according to an embodiment of the invention comprises: the cube tray 20 that is formed with a plurality of packets 22; The driver 30 that is connected with cube tray 20 is used to rotate cube tray 20; And brake 40, be used to contact rotation cube tray 20 an end so that cube tray 20 be twisted.Ice machine also comprises: carriage 50 is used to support cube tray 20 and driver 30; Be placed on the icebox 60 below the cube tray 20, be used to receive the ice that discharges from cube tray 20; And ultrasonic vibrator 70, it is connected to cube tray 20, is used to vibrate cube tray 20.
Cube tray 20 has rectangular shape, and its couple positioned opposite has driver to connect groove 24, so that be connected with the turning cylinder (not shown) of driver 30.Cube tray 20 also comprises back shaft 26, so that be stabilized and be supported on the Support bracket 50 rotationally.
A plurality of packets 22 of cube tray 20 are arranged in a longitudinal and transverse direction, allow cube tray 20 to make the polylith ice cube.When driver 30 rotated and twists cube tray 20, ice can discharge from packet 22.
Driver 30 comprises that the motor (not shown) is to produce revolving force.Driver 30 also comprises the turning cylinder (not shown), connects motor is connected groove 24 with driver, and revolving force is delivered to cube tray 20 from motor, with predetermined angular turn cube tray 20.Driver 30 can be chosen from known driver.
Brake 40 is arranged on a side of Support bracket 50, rotates with a side that stops cube tray 20, thus distortion cube tray 20.The shape of brake and position can change, as long as cube tray 20 supported and distortions.
Support bracket 50 is connected to cube tray 20 and driver 30.Support bracket 50 has back shaft in a side and connects groove 52, and the back shaft 26 of cube tray 20 is connected on the groove 52 also supported.
Water in the ultrasonic vibrator 70 vibration cube trays 20 and the packet 22 that is contained in cube tray 20 that fluctuates indirectly, discharged air from water.Therefore, air is removed in the water from the packet 22 that is contained in cube tray 20 equably.
Ultrasonic vibrator 70 is connected to the outside of cube tray 20.The position of ultrasonic vibrator can change, as long as the cube tray vibration.In addition, ultrasonic vibrator can be provided with a plurality of as required.
And ultrasonic vibrator is removably disposed in the cube tray 20.Therefore, when the quality of ice was inessential, for example, when the needs trash ice, ultrasonic vibrator can disassemble from cube tray 20.
According to above-mentioned structure, the operation of ice machine is described hereinafter with reference to Fig. 3.
At first, the packet 22 of cube tray 20 is adorned with water from water system.Then, make the Water freezes into ice that is contained in the packet 22 by driving the freezing unit (not shown).When water was frozen into ice, ultrasonic vibrator 70 vibration cube trays 20 were with discharged air from water.
After water was frozen into ice, driver 30 drove cube tray 20 to discharge ice from packet 22.Cube tray 20 is arranged on the brake 40 of Support bracket 50 1 sides with predetermined angular turn and contact.
Driver 30 Continuous Drive cube trays 20 are braked under the state that device 40 supports with the side at cube tray 20 and rotate, and a side of cube tray 20 is braked device 40 and stops that opposite side is rotated further, thus distortion cube tray 20.Like this, ice discharges and falls the icebox 60 that is arranged on cube tray 20 belows from packet 22.
In the above-described embodiments, ultrasonic vibrator 70 is applied to ice machine to twist cube tray 20 and ice is discharged from cube tray 20.Yet the ice machine that ultrasonic vibrator can be applied to comprise heater and disappear the foliation sheet without a trace is to discharge ice from cube tray.In this case, ultrasonic vibrator should be placed so that ultrasonic vibrator is not subjected to the influence of heater.
As mentioned above, the invention provides a kind of ice machine, wherein ultrasonic vibrator is easy to install, and air emits in the water from the packet that is contained in cube tray equably, has improved the transparency and the intensity of ice.
Although illustrated and described some embodiment of the present invention, one skilled in the art will appreciate that under the situation that does not depart from principle of the present invention and essence and can be changed that its scope is limited in claim and the equivalent thereof by these embodiment.
