Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an ice maker having improved thermal conductivity and an installation method thereof,

More specifically, the present invention relates to an improvement in thermal conductivity, and more particularly, to a method for improving the thermal conductivity by improving the thermal conductivity of the de-iced water at the time of de-icing ice produced by supplying a coolant at a low temperature and a low pressure to shorten the ice making cycle, And more particularly, to an ice maker and a method for installing the ice maker.

Generally, a water purifier capable of de-icing purifies raw water such as tap water to provide the user with convenience by freezing purified water, cold water and hot water as well as freezing water (or cold water) to the user.

Here, in the ice making unit of the water purifier, the icing water is sprayed or immersed in iced ice water to generate ice, and in recent years, an immersion system having good ice-making efficiency has been mainly used.

In this immersion type ice-making unit, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is circulated through the compressor, the condenser and the capillary to freeze the ice-making water.

Then, the ice cubes are defrosted by a defrosting unit, which uses an electric heater or hot gas.

First, a driving unit for driving ice using an electric heater is provided to be in contact with an ice making tube (evaporator). When generating ice, power is applied to ice to ice.

However, there is a problem that the electric heater and the ice-making pipe are in contact with each other and are in contact with each other due to the contact with each other, and the thermal conductivity of the electric heater is low. To solve this problem, the compressor is stopped to stop the circulation of the refrigerant .

In this case, when the compressor is stopped once, the compressor must be restarted after a lapse of at least 5 minutes, and even if the rinsing time is required for 1 to 2 minutes, there is a problem in that unnecessary waiting time exists and the ice making cycle becomes longer.

To solve this problem, dehiding using hot gas is used, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2001-0035808.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a conventional ice making unit, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a conventional ice making structure.

As shown in the drawing, the refrigerant is circulated through the compressor 4, the condenser 5 and the capillary 6 to the low-temperature and low-pressure state to the ice making tube 1 (evaporator) And transfers the cool air to generate ice by deicing ice-making water contained in the water-receiving member (3).

The ice making line 7 for ice making is formed between the compressor 4 and the condenser 5 so that the ice making line 7 is opened by the solenoid valve 8 after the ice is produced, (Hot gas) compressed at a high temperature and a high pressure is supplied to the ice-making pipe 1, the ice is scooped.

This type of ice-making method is advantageous in that the ice-making cycle can be shortened because the ice-making can be performed while the compressor 4 is continuously operated.

However, when the refrigerant circulation path is changed by the solenoid valve 8, the refrigerant circulating to the ice-making line 7 is circulated to generate noises and the refrigerant collides with the solenoid valve 8, Is generated.

In addition, the deicing method using the hot gas has a problem that the production cost is increased as compared with the deicing method using the electric heater.

Accordingly, there is an urgent need to develop a deicing method which can shorten the ice making cycle, prevent noise and vibration, and reduce the production cost to enhance the product competitiveness.
