Definitions

  • This invention relates to an icemaker, particularly to one including a main body, a water chamber and an evaporator to produce ice blocks capable of being frozen on outer walls of a plurality of vertical downward icing tubes of the evaporator and formed transparently while water is pumped and kept flowing into the water chamber until the ice blocks are made completely.
  • Ice is popularly and indispensably used for drinks, freezing foods, cooling foods temporarily, diminishing a fever, or cooling a sprain or an inflamed part.
  • ice is made simply by means of containers filled with water and laid in a refrigerator for freezing.
  • a refrigerator is mainly used to store foods, apt to let water contaminated with peculiar smells while being frozen, able to spoil taste of drinks or the like.
  • a conventional refrigerator can only produce ice in a limited quantity in about one hour each time, unable to satisfy urgent need of a large quantity. Or, if there is no proper container, bigger ice blocks have to be crashed into small pieces by a tool, quite bothering. Therefore, the invention has been devised to overcome the defects mentioned above.
  • the objective of this invention is to offer an icemaker able to quickly produce sanitary ice blocks that smell purely and are formed transparently in a proper size.
  • the main characteristics of the invention are a main body, a water chamber, and an evaporator.
  • the main body is provided with a reservoir having a water inlet near its bottom, a containing chamber located at an upper portion of the main body and having a supporting plate located at an inner wall of one side, a water tube connected with the water inlet and possessing a water injecting hole located at an upper portion of the water tube, extending through a wall of the containing chamber and placed under the supporting plate, and a pump connected with the water tube.
  • the water chamber is pivotally connected in the containing chamber.
  • the evaporator installed at a top of the water chamber is provided with a plurality of vertical downward icing tubes spaced apart and extending into the water chamber.
  • a preferred embodiment of an icemaker in the present invention includes a main body 1, a water chamber 2, an evaporator 3 and a cover 4.
  • the main body 1 is provided with a control panel 10 on a front surface, a reservoir 11 in a front lower portion provided with a water inlet 110 near its bottom, a containing chamber 12 at an upper rear portion provided with a supporting plate 120 located at an inner wall of one side, a water tube 13 connected with the water inlet 110 and provided with a water injecting hole 130 located at an upper portion, extending through a wall of the containing chamber 12 and placed under the supporting plate 120, a pump 14 connected with the water tube 13 and a water passageway 15 formed between the containing chamber 12 and the reservoir 11.
  • the water chamber 2 pivotally connected in the containing chamber 12 is provided with a pushing board 20 connected pivotally at a front side.
  • the evaporator 3 installed at a top of the water chamber 2 is provided with a plurality of vertical downward icing tubes 30 spaced apart and extending into the water chamber 2.
  • the cover 4 is set on a top of the main body 1.
  • a starting button in the control panel 10 of the main body 1 press a starting button in the control panel 10 of the main body 1 first. Then water is to flow through the water inlet 110 of the reservoir 11 into the water tube 13 and pressurized by the pump 14 to flow up to the water injecting hole 130 and fall into the water chamber 2.
  • the evaporator 3 begins to carry out a freezing process as soon as the water chamber 2 is filled full. Meanwhile, the pump 14 is to keep pumping water into the water chamber 2, letting the overflowing water pass down through the water passageway 15 in front of the containing chamber 12, and back in the reservoir 11.
  • outer walls of the icing tubes 30 of the evaporator 3 will absorb heat directly from water to make water to quickly frozen to ice blocks (A) which can be formed transparently while water is pumped and kept flowing into the water chamber 2.
  • the pump 14 is stopped from injecting water.
  • turn and tilt the water chamber 2 to drop down water.
  • carry out a releasing process to make the ice blocks (A) as many as the number of the icing tubes 30 released from the outer walls of the icing tubes 30 to drop into the containing chamber 12.
  • the ice blocks (A) are shoveled by the pushing board 20 pivotally connected at the front of the water chamber 2, sliding along the pushing board 20 into an ice container, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
  • the invention can quickly produce and release numbers of sanitary transparent ice blocks for urgent need.
