Detailed Description

The utility model is further described in connection with the following detailed description, in order to make the technical means, the creation characteristics, the achievement of the purpose and the effect of the utility model easy to understand.

Referring to fig. 1-4, the present utility model provides an ice maker technical scheme for facilitating ice stripping: the structure of the device comprises a tray 1 with a condensing tube (not shown in the figure) arranged on the back, a plurality of lower dies 2 which are fixed on the tray 1 and are regularly arranged, a plurality of upper dies 3 which correspond to the upper parts of the lower dies 2, and a water outlet end (not shown in the figure) which corresponds to the interface of the lower dies 2 and the upper dies 3; the condensing pipe is connected with a refrigeration compressor to enable the tray 1 to be at low temperature, so that water flowing in from the water outlet end is gradually cooled by the upper die 3 and the lower die 2 to form ice cubes;

the lower die 2 is provided with a hemispherical groove 21, wherein the hemispherical groove 21 occupies two thirds of the sphere plane area; the upper die 3 is a hemispherical thin shell geometry; the upper die 3 and the lower die 2 are provided with a water inlet gap 4 above which water at the water outlet end enters; a water outlet gap 5 for water at the water outlet end to flow out is arranged below the water outlet gap;

wherein the upper edge of the upper die 3 is fixed with a transverse shaft 61 for connecting the upper dies 3 in the same row in series; the transverse shaft 61 is connected to a driving structure for the staggered overturning of the upper dies 3 of the rows thereof;

the driving structure comprises a transverse plate 63 for inserting the transverse shaft 61 (the transverse plate 63 is preferably arranged on the transverse plate 63 through a bearing), a gear 62 fixed with one end of the transverse shaft 61 and a tooth row 64 meshed with the gear 62; the transverse plates 63 are arranged on two wings of the tray 1; the gear 62 and the gear row 64 are positioned on two sides of the transverse plate 63; the arrangement of the gears 62 and the rows of teeth 64 on both sides of the cross plate 63 is such that these parts do not contact and thus affect the space when the upper mould 3 is turned over; while the cross plate 63 is fixed to a frame (not shown) of the ice maker;

the row of teeth 64 is connected to a telescoping member; the telescopic piece is an electric cylinder; the electric cylinder drives the gear row 64 to stretch and displace, so that the gear 62 rotates, and the transverse shaft 61 rotates to finally display the overturning action of the upper die 3;

the transverse shafts 61 of a plurality of rows are parallel to each other, wherein the gears 62 on the transverse shafts 61 of adjacent rows are mirror image distributed; thereby causing the gears 62 to be distributed in a "Z" shape; the gears 62 on two sides are driven and controlled through the gears 62 with the electric cylinders on one side of each, so that the ice balls can be discharged in batches, and when the upper dies 3 of the first row are overturned, for example, the upper dies 3 of the second row are in a closed state, so that the discharging space of the ice balls is increased, and the situation that the ice balls are blocked due to space problems when two adjacent upper dies 3 are discharged simultaneously is avoided;

a demoulding assembly is arranged between the upper mould 3 and the lower mould 2 and comprises a through hole 71 integrally formed with the upper mould 3 and an arc-shaped protrusion 72 fixed on the lower mould 2; the arc-shaped protrusion 72 is on the same axis as the transverse shaft 61; the arc-shaped protrusion 72 passes through the through hole 71 when the upper die 3 is turned over; the arc-shaped protrusion 72 ejects the ice ball, so that the problem that the ice ball cannot fall down due to gravity due to the adhesion of the ice ball to the upper die 3 is avoided.

The condenser tube, the refrigeration compressor and the water outlet end for water outlet belong to the prior art, and the field of ice machines is quite mature and common, so that the applicant does not need to describe the structure in the specification.
