The main job of SUNSAM durable Portable Ice Maker PCBA is to do the automatic ice-making steps well. That requires accurate timing of the timers, temperature sensors and actuators controls.
Cycle Management: Board takes care of all the cycle automatically starting from water pump to fill the mold, turning on the refrigeration system to freeze the water and finally turning on the heating element to melt the ice to release it in the storage bin.
Sensor integration: The PCBA is supposed to make efficient use of data gathered by different sensors without mistakes. Monitoring water levels to avoid dry running and keeping an eye on temperature to identify when the ice has formed completely.
User Interface Operation: Also operating the user interface which can include buttons to press and numbers on a display to pick your cycle or indicator lights to show things like “Ice is full” or “Add Water”.
The Portable Ice Maker PCBA is different than a stationary commercial machine. SUNSAM engineering team prioritizes a few factors to match the form and function of the product.
Compact Layout: A portable appliance has limited space. Compact component placement, multi-layer boards, so we can get all the functionality in a small space and still perform well.
Power Efficiency: These devices can be found in a wide range of places like RV’s and in people’s home kitchens. Our design of high quality Portable Ice Maker PCBA is to consider the management of power consumption to produce a sufficient amount of ice without taking more than an average voltage, and to minimize power consumption.
Thermal Management: Board works in a cold and humid environment. We choose parts that work well at the right temperatures and make the layout so there won’t be trouble with water forming on things or being too close to where it gets cooled down.
The durability of a portable ice maker is based on how well it was assembled and what kind of parts it has.
Durable components: Semiconductors, connectors, relays that are stable under different environments are sourced. It makes the machine live longer.
Assembly and Testing: We follow industry standard IPC guidelines for assembly process which include AOI(automated optical inspection) & Functional testing. For a portable ice maker PCBA, it means to simulate full cycles to test the control logic of compressor, pump and heating element is correct before shipment.
A well architected PCBA that is modular offers manufacturers a chance to give its own portable ice maker model a unique set of attributes.
Ice size selection, the control logic can be set to give different freezing times for a small or large cube setting.
Better Connectivity: Add Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules so designs can do cool things like start your bike remotely or track your ride with a phone app.
Quick-Freeze Modes: Social Gatherings - In social gatherings, a special mode can be created where the ice-making speed is prioritized over energy savings for a certain period of time. SUNSAM's design process includes the flexibility to allow for these customizations based on the clients needs.
Creating a brand new portable ice maker PCBA calls for teamwork. We work with clients from the beginning of the idea so that the electronic design fits with the mechanical and industrial design.
Requirement analysis: the process starts by specifying what is required - target ice production rate, number of control cycles, preferred user interface, and special features.
Prototyping and Validation: We make functional prototypes for clients to check out. this is good for seeing how well a board is getting along with the machines water system and such, compressor and housing and if there is anything that can be tweaked on the boards that are made before things go final.
Production Support: Post design sign off, we make the transition to volume manufacturing and ensure consistency of quality across different production runs of your portable ice maker line.
