Background

An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device which cools water through an evaporator by a refrigerant of an ice making system to generate ice. According to different principles and production modes of the evaporator, the shapes of the generated ice blocks are different; ice machines are generally classified in ice form into a pellet ice machine, a flake ice machine, a slab ice machine, a tube ice machine, a shell ice machine, and the like. The ice maker is widely applied to the fields of food, light industry, medical treatment and the like, such as the transportation and production process of seafood and meat, the cooling process in a chemical process and the like, and ice blocks are needed to be used.

Chinese patent publication No. CN102980336A discloses an ice maker, which includes a box body having an ice making compartment; one end of the drain pipe assembly is communicated with the bottom of the ice making compartment, and the other end of the drain pipe assembly is communicated with the outside of the box body; and a closure member openably and closably connected to the drain pipe assembly. When the defrosting water in the ice making chamber needs to be drained, the ice making machine is powered off by a user, and the defrosting water can flow out of the ice making machine from the ice making chamber through the water drainage pipe assembly.

However, the ice maker has the following disadvantages: because when discharging the defrosting water, need to cut off the power supply with the ice machine and just can the drainage, and can't be at the ice-making in-process simultaneously with the indoor defrosting water drainage of ice-making room, there is the drainage troublesome, and the problem that unnecessary water can't in time be discharged.

disclosure of Invention

The invention aims to provide an ice maker with a liquid seal structure, which adopts the liquid seal structure and has the effects of automatic water drainage at any time and more convenient water drainage process.

The technical purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme: an ice maker with a liquid seal structure comprises a box body and an ice storage chamber arranged in the box body, wherein the bottom of the ice storage chamber is provided with a water drainage groove, the water drainage groove is provided with a water drainage hole, and the water drainage groove is internally provided with the liquid seal structure; the liquid seal structure comprises a convex edge arranged at the bottom of the drainage groove and a liquid seal cover arranged on the drainage groove, the convex edge is circumferentially arranged around the drainage hole, the liquid seal cover comprises a top cover and a water retaining ring arranged on the top cover, when the liquid seal cover covers the drainage groove, the water retaining ring surrounds the periphery of the convex edge, and the end part of the water retaining ring, far away from the top cover, is abutted against the bottom surface of the drainage groove; a water inlet cavity is formed between the inner wall of the drainage groove and the outer wall of the water retaining ring, a liquid seal cavity is formed between the inner wall of the water retaining ring and the convex edge, and the water inlet cavity is communicated with the liquid seal cavity through a water passing gap.

Through adopting above-mentioned technical scheme, in the use, the ice-cube that has made is stored to the ice-cube storage room, a small amount of frozen water that the ice-cube melts and forms will flow to the water drainage tank in, flow into the intake antrum from the notch of water drainage tank, from the intake antrum through water clearance infiltration to the liquid seal chamber in, when the liquid level height in liquid seal chamber is less than protruding edge height and submergence manger plate ring lower extreme, form stable liquid seal state between intake antrum and the liquid seal chamber just, keep apart ice-cube storage room and outside gas, have better thermal-insulated effect, and still can guarantee the cleanness of ice-cube storage room inside to a certain extent. When more ice water flows into the water inlet cavity, the liquid levels of the water inlet cavity and the liquid seal cavity gradually rise, and when the liquid level of the liquid seal cavity is higher than the convex edge, the ice water in the liquid seal cavity flows out from the drain hole to play a role of draining water until the liquid levels of the liquid seal cavity and the water inlet cavity are in a stable liquid seal state again. Therefore, the liquid seal structure is adopted in the ice storage chamber, and the effects of convenient water drainage and drainage processes at any time are achieved.

The invention is further provided with: the water passing gap is set to be an opening, the opening is arranged at the end part of the water retaining ring far away from the top cover, and the gap between the top of the opening and the bottom surface of the drainage groove is smaller than the height of the convex edge.

By adopting the technical scheme, the ice water flowing into the water inlet cavity can be introduced into the liquid seal cavity from the opening.

The invention is further provided with: a plurality of water through holes are circumferentially formed in the top cover and communicated with the water inlet cavity.

By adopting the technical scheme, the melted ice water in the ice storage chamber can flow into the water inlet cavity through the water through hole.

the invention is further provided with: the notch of the drainage channel is provided with a diversion channel which is communicated with the water inlet cavity.

By adopting the technical scheme, the diversion trench is formed in the notch of the drainage trench, so that ice water in the ice storage chamber can be guided to flow into the water inlet cavity, and when the liquid sealing cover needs to be taken out from the drainage trench for cleaning, fingers can stretch into the diversion trench, and the liquid sealing cover is convenient to eject.

The invention is further provided with: the guiding gutter is provided with the guiding surface, and the guiding gutter is connected to the one end of guiding surface, and the other end of guiding surface connects the water drainage tank.

By adopting the technical scheme, the ice water in the diversion trench can be guided to the water inlet cavity by the arrangement of the diversion surface.
