An icemaker includes a casing that receives water from a water supply and is in thermal communication with an evaporator of a sealed system that chills the casing to freeze the water. An auger is mounted within the interior volume and is rotatable to scrape the ice from the casing and urge it through an extruder to form nugget ice. A BLDC motor is mechanically coupled to the auger to selectively rotate the auger. A controller determines a target speed of the auger based at least in part on the ice production parameter, and operates the BLDC motor to rotate the auger at the target speed. The BLDC motor with the speed-closed control loop can provide the constant speed and enough torque to prevent the ice maker from freezing. The controller can adjust the PWM and the voltage will be adjusted slightly, then the torque will be adjusted accordingly.

Method of operating a BLDC motor in an ice making appliance

An ice making assembly includes a mold body defining an ice-making cavity. An evaporator is coupled to the mold body. The evaporator includes a cap positioned on the mold body such that an open end of the cap is positioned at the mold body. An inlet tube is mounted to the cap. An outlet tube is also mounted to the cap. An evaporation chamber is formed between the cap and the mold body. The inlet tube is configured for directing a flow of refrigerant into the evaporation chamber, and the outlet tube configured for directing the flow of refrigerant out of the evaporation chamber.

An ice making assembly includes an ice mold and a pump assembly for urging an ice-building spray into the ice mold to form an ice billet. A controller operates the pump assembly to provide the ice-building spray at a first flow rate until the ice billet reaches a predetermined thickness and then operates the pump assembly to provide the ice-building spray at a second flow rate that is less than the first flow rate.

An ice maker may include an assembly frame, an ice tray, a cam, a splash cover, and a biasing spring. The ice tray may define a cell for receipt of water for freezing and may be rotatably attached to the assembly frame to rotate about an axial direction. The cam may be attached to the ice tray and extend along the axial direction. The splash cover may be slidably attached to the assembly frame in mechanical communication with the cam to move between an elevated position and a lowered position according to a rotational position of the cam. The biasing spring may be disposed on the splash cover and urge the splash cover to the lowered position.

The present disclosure relates to a chassis and a heat sink for use in the chassis. Disks in rows are arranged in the chassis, and the heat sink comprises an air ingress channel extending from a first end of a housing of the chassis to a side portion of the disks away from the first end; an air egress channel extending from the first end to a second end opposite to the first end, the air egress channel being spaced apart from the air ingress channel by the disks; an intermediate channel comprised of gaps between the disks and fluidically communicating the air ingress channel with the air egress channel; and a fan disposed in the air egress channel and being operable to form a negative pressure in the air egress channel.

Techniques involve use of an adaptor for a storage device. The adaptor includes a baseboard arranged to support an Open Compute Project (OCP) mezzanine card in the storage device; a connector coupled to the baseboard and arranged to connect with the storage device; and an adapting part coupled to the baseboard and including an insertion slot for receiving a first interface of the OCP mezzanine card.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a guiderail for a cabinet, a chassis and a cabinet. Specifically, the present disclosure discloses a guiderail () used in a cabinet () and the corresponding chassis () and the cabinet (). The guiderail () is mounted in the cabinet () and used to fix the chassis () which can accommodate storage processing units () with different dimensions. According to the present disclosure, the guiderail () comprises a main body part () and an extended part (), wherein the main body part () is used to support the chassis () when it is inserted into the cabinet () along the guiderail (); and the extended part () is used to fix the storage processing unit () extending from the chassis () so that storage processing units () of different dimensions can share the chassis () with the same specification.

A C-type tubing cutter is described that accommodates and cuts a range of tubing or workpiece sizes. The cutter includes a radially positionable roller carriage that can be selectively positioned in one of several predetermined positions corresponding to different tubing sizes. The cutter also includes a trigger that can be engaged with the roller carriage to lock the carriage in a desired position. Certain versions of the cutters also utilize arcuate slots or tracks along which a cutter wheel is positionable.
