Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice storage buckets, in particular to an ice storage bucket. Background Art
[0002] An ice bucket is a tool for storing ice cubes, mainly used to keep drinks or food cold. This device is usually made of plastic, metal or other low-temperature resistant materials so that it can withstand low temperatures and prevent the ice from melting. Ice buckets are widely used. For example, people can use ice buckets to store ice cubes to keep drinks cold during outdoor activities such as picnics, fishing, camping, barbecue parties or weddings.
[0003] When storing ice cubes in an ice bucket, the ice cubes usually melt gradually, and the melted water will flow to the bottom of the ice bucket due to gravity. Most of the ice buckets sold on the market have various drain ports, but the drain ports of existing ice buckets can only be used for drainage, and there is no convenient structure to guide the ice water to flow to the drain port. It is difficult to keep the bottom plane of the ice bucket horizontal at all times during actual use, resulting in only a small part of the ice water flowing to the drain port after the ice water melts, and most of the remaining ice water flows to the corner near the outer edge of the bottom due to the inevitable tilting of the bucket body. Ice buckets often store more ice cubes, and the ice water accumulates in the bottom corner to form more accumulated water, which is not easy to be discovered. The accumulated water is easy to breed bacteria and emit odors, affecting the quality of the ice cubes stored in the ice bucket, which is neither hygienic nor convenient for daily use.

[0029] The implementation modes of the present utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Embodiment 1:
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an ice storage bucket comprises a bucket body 1, a bucket shoulder 2, a bucket flap 3 and a bucket baffle 4, the bucket body 1 is provided with an ice storage chamber 13 for accommodating ice materials, the top of the ice storage chamber 13 is provided with an ice inlet 131 communicating with the outside, the side of the ice storage chamber 13 is provided with an ice taking port 132 communicating with the outside, the bucket shoulder 2 is located between the ice inlet 131 and the ice taking port 132 and is installed on the bucket body 1, the bucket baffle 4 is installed between the bucket body 1 and the bucket shoulder 2, the bucket flap 3 is located on the outside of the ice taking port 132 and is hinged on the bucket shoulder 2, so that the bucket flap 3 can be flipped relative to the bucket body 1, the bottom of the bucket body 1 is provided with a guide groove 124 for concentrating the flow direction of ice water, the guide groove 124 is inclined in a direction away from the ice taking port 132, and the bottom of the bucket body 1 is inclined in a direction toward the center of the guide groove 124.
[0032] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the bucket body 1 is the main container of the ice bucket for storing ice cubes, the bucket shoulder 2 is the connecting part of the ice bucket for installing and connecting the bucket cover 3 and the bucket baffle 4, the bucket cover 3 is the ice taking port 132 installed on the side of the ice storage chamber 13 of the ice storage bucket for users to open and take out ice cubes or close and seal the ice storage chamber 13, the bucket baffle 4 is a baffle structure installed near the bucket shoulder 2 for guiding the falling direction of ice cubes, and after the bucket baffle 4 is installed, it is buckled on the upper side by the bucket shoulder 2 to limit the shaking of the bucket baffle 4 , which helps to improve the structural stability of the bucket baffle 4. The ice storage chamber 13 is a cavity structure arranged on the bucket body 1 for storing and accommodating ice cubes. The ice cube making machine or the channel for conveying ice cubes enters the ice storage chamber 13 from the ice inlet 131 at the top of the ice storage chamber 13. The ice cubes are guided away from the ice taking port 132 through the bucket baffle 4 and fall to the bottom of the ice storage chamber 13 to accumulate naturally. The user can flip open the bucket flip cover 3 and take out the ice cubes from the ice storage chamber 13 through the ice taking port 132 on the side of the ice storage chamber 13 for use, thereby meeting the user's daily use of ice cubes.
[0033] More specifically, the ice cubes in the ice storage chamber 13 will inevitably melt, and the melting speed of the ice cubes depends on the temperature inside the ice storage bucket. When the ice cubes melt, flowing ice water will be generated, and the ice water will flow down along the gaps between the ice cubes or the cavity wall of the ice storage chamber 13 toward the bottom of the bucket body 1. In order to better solve the problem of ice water accumulation in the bottom corner of the ice storage chamber 13, the bottom of the bucket body 1 is provided with a guide groove 124 for concentrating the flow of ice water. The bottom of the bucket body 1 is inclined from top to bottom toward the center of the guide groove 124, and the guide groove 124 is inclined from top to bottom in the direction away from the ice taking port 132. The orifice of the guide groove 124 for drainage is located on the side away from the ice taking port 132, so that after the ice water flows down along the gaps between the ice cubes or the cavity wall of the ice storage chamber 13 toward the bottom of the bucket body 1, it can further flow along the inclined bottom of the bucket body 1 and the groove wall of the guide groove 124 to the position where the guide groove 124 is used for drainage, and the ice water is discharged in a concentrated manner, so as to solve the problem of ice water accumulation.
[0034] Optionally, the ice storage bucket in the present embodiment can be made of materials such as plastic or metal that are resistant to low temperatures, corrosion-resistant, and have good structural stability. Preferably, the bucket body 1 can be made of plastic. The plastic molding process facilitates the bucket body 1, bucket shoulder 2, bucket flap 3, and bucket baffle 4 to respectively adopt an integrally molded structure, thereby ensuring the water tightness of the ice storage bucket. Compared with metal, plastic produces less collision sound when ice cubes fall into the ice storage chamber 13. The plastic itself also has a certain elasticity, which further reduces the impact of the falling ice cubes. The efficiency of plastic molding is higher than that of metal, and the cost of plastic molding is cheaper than that of metal, which is convenient for mass production to meet the supply of ice making and storage.
[0035] Embodiment 2:
[0036] Different from Example 1, the guide groove 124 of this embodiment is inclined from bottom to top in the direction away from the ice taking port 132, and the drainage hole of the guide groove 124 is located on the side close to the ice taking port 132. With such a design, it is possible to avoid the drainage hole of the guide groove 124 being set at a position where ice water is gathered at a position where more ice cubes are accumulated, thereby reducing the impact of ice water drainage on ice accumulation.
[0037] Embodiment 3:
[0038] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the barrel body 1 includes a barrel shell 11 for protecting the barrel body 1 and a barrel liner 12 for placing ice, the ice storage chamber 13 is located inside the barrel liner 12, the barrel shell 11 is detachably connected to the outer peripheral side of the barrel liner 12, and the barrel liner 12 is connected to the ice inlet 131 and the ice extraction port 132.
[0039] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the barrel shell 11 is an outer shell member arranged on the outside of the barrel body 1 for protecting the barrel body 1. The barrel body 1 can resist and weaken the collision impact by contacting or colliding with the outside world through the barrel shell 11. The barrel shell 11 is respectively provided with a plurality of barrel side shells located in different directions of the barrel body 1, and the plurality of barrel side shells are spliced to form the barrel shell 11. The barrel liner 12 is an inner liner container arranged inside the barrel body 1 for storing and accommodating ice cubes. The ice storage cavity 13 is located inside the barrel liner 12. The ice cube homemade ice machine or the channel for conveying ice cubes enters the barrel liner 12 from the ice inlet 131 at the top of the ice storage cavity 13. The ice cubes are guided away from the ice taking port through the barrel baffle 4 and fall into the bottom of the barrel liner 12 and accumulate naturally. There is a certain interval between the barrel shell 11 and the barrel liner 12, so that after the barrel liner 12 is affected by the ice cubes and drops to a low temperature, it will not be directly affected by the external temperature and heat up. The room temperature is isolated from the barrel liner 12 by the barrel shell 11 and the interval gap, which plays a role of heat preservation, reduces the melting speed of the ice cubes, and thus reduces the flow of ice water melted by the ice cubes.
[0040] Embodiment 4:
[0041] like Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, a concave groove 121 arranged around the outer side of the ice inlet 131 is provided on the side of the bucket liner 12 facing the ice inlet 131 , and a side of the bucket shell 11 close to the ice inlet 131 is buckled on the concave groove 121 .
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, a concave groove 121 is provided around the outer periphery of the ice inlet 131 on one side of the top of the barrel liner 12 near the ice inlet 131, and the concave groove 121 is located between the ice storage cavity 13 and the barrel shell 11. The side of the barrel shell 11 near the ice inlet 131 can be buckled in the concave groove 121 and installed on the top of the barrel liner 12 by screws, so as to realize the rapid splicing and rapid positioning between the barrel shell 11 and the barrel liner 12, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the barrel body 1;
[0043] More specifically, a bevel structure 128 inclined toward the ice storage chamber 13 is provided between the concave groove 121 and the barrel shell 11 in the barrel liner 12, and the bevel structure 128 is inclined from top to bottom from a position close to the outside of the barrel liner 12 toward the center of the barrel liner 12, and the bevel structure 128 forms an inclined angle α with the horizontal plane, and the angle range of the angle α is controlled between 0 degrees and 45 degrees. The bending structure on the top of the barrel shell 11 for installation on the top of the barrel liner 12 cooperates with the bevel structure 128 with the angle α, so that the bending structure of the barrel shell 11 also has a tilting structure forming an angle α with the horizontal plane. The barrel liner 12 adopts the bevel structure 128 with the angle α, and water droplets dripping on the barrel body 1 in the upper space of the ice storage bucket can flow into the concave groove 121 along the bevel structure 128 and flow in the direction of the ice storage chamber 13, so that the water droplets dripping on the top of the barrel body 1 from the outside are also concentrated and returned to the ice storage chamber 13, and then flow into the guide groove 124 and flow away.
[0044] Embodiment 5:
[0045] Different from Example 4, the bevel structure 128 of this embodiment is inclined from bottom to top from a position close to the outer side of the barrel liner 12 toward the center of the barrel liner 12, so that water droplets dripping onto the barrel body 1 from the upper space of the ice storage bucket can flow out of the barrel body 1 along the bevel structure 128, thereby preventing the dripping water droplets from affecting the quality of the ice cubes in the barrel body 1.
[0046] Embodiment 6:
[0047] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a stop angle groove 122 for limiting the position of the barrel baffle 4 is provided at a position of the barrel inner liner 12 near the barrel shoulder 2, and the stop angle groove 122 is located on both sides of the barrel baffle 4. An outer groove 123 for inserting the barrel baffle 4 is provided on one side of the stop angle groove 122 near the top of the barrel body 1.
[0048] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the stop angle groove 122 is a limiting structure of the barrel liner 12 for limiting the downward movement or falling position of the barrel baffle 4. The stop angle grooves 122 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the barrel baffle 4 and are recessed on the barrel liner 12 in the direction away from the ice storage cavity 13. The top of the stop angle groove 122 near the ice inlet 131 is provided with an outer notch 123 for the barrel baffle 4 to be installed. Stop convex blocks 42 used in conjunction with the stop angle grooves 122 are provided on both sides of the barrel baffle 4. After extending into the ice storage chamber 13, the stop protrusions 42 on both sides contact with the stop angle grooves 122 to limit the installation position of the bucket baffle 4. The ice making machine or the channel for conveying ice cubes enters the ice storage chamber 13 from the ice inlet 131 at the top of the ice storage chamber 13. When the ice cubes collide with the bucket baffle 4, the stop angle grooves 122 can help the bucket baffle 4 to withstand the impact force of the falling ice cubes, thereby avoiding deformation or damage of the bucket baffle 4 caused by long-term impact of ice cubes, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall structure of the ice storage bucket.
[0049] Embodiment 7:
[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the edge profile of the guide groove 124 adopts a fan-shaped structure, and the fan-shaped structure is respectively provided with a fan head close to the ice-taking port 132 and a fan tail away from the ice-taking port 132. The side of the guide groove 124 close to the fan tail is provided with a drainage channel 125 connected to the outside, and a detachable one-way drainage valve 126 is installed at the entrance of the drainage channel 125.
[0051] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the edge profile of the guide groove 124 adopts a fan-shaped structure, and the fan-shaped structure is respectively provided with a fan head with a larger width and a fan tail with a narrower width, the fan head faces the direction of the ice taking port 132, and the fan tail faces the direction away from the ice taking port 132, and the fan-shaped structure helps the barrel body 1 to strengthen the effect of gathering accumulated water, and the drainage channel 125 is a drainage port that connects the guide groove 124 to the bottom of the barrel body 1 and leads to the outside, and the drainage channel 125 is located at the fan tail of the fan-shaped structure. When the ice water melts and flows into the guide groove 124, it flows from the fan head or along the edge profile of the guide groove 124 to the drainage channel 125 of the fan tail, so that the ice water can be concentrated in the drainage channel 125 and flow away;
[0052] More specifically, the straight fan edges on both sides of the fan-shaped structure form a fan-shaped angle β. The angle range of the fan-shaped angle β can be controlled between 10 degrees and 120 degrees depending on the maximum width of the barrel body 1. The distance between the center of the drainage channel 125 and the fan head is dimension γ. The length of dimension γ is controlled within two-thirds of the length of the barrel body 1 to facilitate controlling the effect of tilting and gathering accumulated water.
[0053] More specifically, the one-way drain valve 126 is a component used to prevent the flow of ice water from flowing back. A detachable one-way drain valve 126 is installed at the entrance of the drainage channel 125. After the ice water flows through the one-way drain valve 126 and is discharged, it cannot flow back from the one-way drain valve 126 to the ice storage chamber 13, further ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the ice storage chamber 13. The one-way drain valve 126 can also prevent the odor generated by the ice water discharged from the bottom of the barrel body 1 from being transmitted back to the ice storage chamber 13, further ensuring the quality of the ice cubes inside the ice storage chamber 13.
[0054] Embodiment 8:
[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the edge contour of the guide groove 124 is provided with a guide curved edge 1241 along the outer peripheral side of the fan-shaped structure, which smoothly connects the bottom of the ice storage cavity 13 and the bottom of the guide groove 124 .
[0056] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the guide curved edge 1241 is the guiding curved surface boundary of the guide groove 124 for guiding the ice water to flow into the groove. Compared with the use of a boundary with sharp corners, the ice water is more easily affected by the inclined curved surface structure and directed toward the inside of the guide groove 124. Moreover, the boundary with sharp corners is more likely to accumulate water at the corners. However, the curved surface boundary formed by the guide curved edge 1241 can avoid the problem of water accumulation at the corners, and further facilitates the diversion and gathering of ice water.
[0057] Embodiment 9:
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the barrel baffle 4 is provided with a plurality of ice-breaking bars 41 arranged at intervals, and the ice-breaking bars 41 extend and protrude from a side surface of the barrel baffle 4 away from the ice extraction port 132 , and the ice-breaking bars 41 extend in a straight line from the direction of the barrel baffle 4 close to the barrel shoulder 2 toward the direction of the one-way drain valve 126 .
[0059] Specifically, in the present embodiment, a plurality of ice-breaking bars 41 are protruded and extended from the surface of the bucket baffle 4 on the side facing the ice inlet 131, and are arranged in an interval. The ice-breaking bars 41 are integrally formed with the bucket baffle 4, and an ice-making ice machine or a channel for conveying ice cubes enters the ice storage chamber 13 from the ice inlet 131 at the top of the ice storage chamber 13. When ice cubes collide with the bucket baffle 4, the ice cubes contact with the plurality of ice-breaking bars 41, and the protruding structure forms a narrow contact surface, so that the impact force of the ice cubes is concentrated on the contact surface with the ice-breaking bars 41, so that the ice cubes can be broken into smaller ice cubes by the force of the impact and collision, and the bucket baffle 4 can achieve a certain degree of ice-breaking effect through the ice-breaking bars 41, and the effect of ice-breaking bars 41 breaking ice cubes is effective for larger ice cubes, so as to avoid larger ice cubes affecting the storage position of other ice cubes and also avoid the situation where larger ice cubes are blocked in the ice storage chamber 13.
[0060] Embodiment 10:
[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, a rubber strip groove 31 for sealing the ice taking port 132 is provided on one side of the bucket flip cover 3 facing the ice taking port 132 , and the rubber strip groove 31 is arranged around the center of the bucket flip cover 3 along the outer edge of the ice taking port 132 .
[0062] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the rubber strip groove 31 is a groove for installing a sealing rubber strip or a buffer rubber strip. To further ensure the heat preservation effect inside the ice storage chamber 13, a rubber strip groove 31 is provided on the surface of the bucket flip cover 3 facing the ice taking port 132. The groove profile of the rubber strip groove 31 is designed to surround the center of the bucket flip cover 3 along the outer peripheral side edge of the ice taking port 132 to ensure that the sealing rubber strip can completely cover the outer side of the ice taking port 132 after the sealing rubber strip is installed, so that a better sealing effect can be produced after the user closes the bucket flip cover 3, thereby preventing the outside air and temperature from affecting the heat preservation effect inside the ice storage chamber 13.
[0063] More specifically, in order to further enhance the cushioning effect when the user closes the barrel cover 3, a cushioning rubber strip may be installed in the rubber strip groove 31. When the user closes the barrel cover 3, the barrel cover 3 falls around the barrel shoulder 2 toward the ice taking port 132 and contacts the barrel body 1. The elasticity of the cushioning rubber strip reduces the impact and collision between the barrel cover 3 and the barrel body 1, thereby further weakening the sound of closing the barrel cover 3.
[0064] Embodiment 11:
[0065] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a plurality of feet 14 are provided at the bottom of the barrel body 1 . The feet 14 have a triangular structure and are arranged at the corners of the bottom of the barrel body 1 close to the outside. The longer side of the triangular structure faces the bottom center of the barrel body 1 .
[0066] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the barrel foot 14 is a supporting component for supporting and maintaining the balance of the barrel body 1. The barrel foot 14 has a triangular structure and is arranged at the corner position near the outside of the bottom of the barrel body 1. Generally, three or four barrel feet 14 are used to support the barrel body 1. The horizontal cross-section of the triangular structure has a triangular outline, and each corner of the triangular structure is designed with a rounded corner. The longer side of the triangular structure faces the bottom center of the barrel body 1, and the two shorter sides of the triangular structure are respectively flush with the plane of the outside of the barrel body 1. After the barrel foot 14 is installed, the bottom plane is flush with the horizontal plane, so that when multiple barrel feet 14 are used at the same time, the contact area between the barrel body 1 and the placement plane is increased, thereby further improving the standing stability of the barrel body 1.
[0067] Embodiment 12:
[0068] like Figure 8As shown, the barrel shoulder 2 is provided with a buffer 21 for limiting the flipping of the barrel flap 3, and the buffer 21 is installed between the barrel flap 3 and the barrel shoulder 2. The connecting shaft 22 of the buffer 21 is provided with a limiting plane 23, and the barrel flap 3 is provided with a connecting hole used in conjunction with the limiting plane 23 to allow the barrel flap 3 and the connecting shaft 22 to flip synchronously.
[0069] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the buffer 21 is installed inside the barrel shoulder 2, and the barrel shoulder 2 includes a left barrel shoulder and a right barrel shoulder. The left barrel shoulder and the right barrel shoulder are respectively located on the left and right sides of the barrel body 1, and the left barrel shoulder and the right barrel shoulder are symmetrically arranged opposite to each other. The left barrel shoulder and the right barrel shoulder are respectively provided with buffers 21 arranged opposite to each other. The buffer 21 is provided with a connecting shaft 22 for cooperating with the barrel flap 3 at the output end. The barrel flap 3 is provided with a connecting hole used for limiting with the connecting shaft 22. A limiting plane 23 is provided on the connecting shaft 22, so that the barrel flap 3 and the connecting shaft 22 can be flipped synchronously. When the barrel flap 3 is closed, the buffer deceleration structure of the buffer 21 itself limits the falling speed of the barrel flap 3 through the connecting shaft 22, so that when the user closes the barrel flap casually, the barrel flap can avoid a large impact collision with the barrel body, reduce the impact collision between the barrel flap 3 and the barrel body 1, and further weaken the sound of closing the barrel flap 3.
[0070] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the specific working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0071] When in use, the ice making machine or the channel for conveying ice cubes enters the ice storage chamber 13 from the ice inlet 131 at the top of the ice storage chamber 13. After the ice cubes pass through the ice breaking bar 41 of the bucket baffle 4 and break the larger ice cubes, the crushed ice is guided away from the ice taking port 132 and falls to the bottom of the ice storage chamber 13 and accumulates naturally. The user can open the bucket cover 3 to enter the ice storage chamber 13 and take out the ice cubes for use;
[0072] When the ice cubes melt inside the ice storage chamber 13, flowing ice water will be generated. The ice water will flow down along the gaps between the ice cubes or the wall of the ice storage chamber 13 toward the bottom of the barrel inner liner 12. The ice water will flow into the guide groove 124 due to the inclination of the bottom of the barrel inner liner 12, and will flow into the guide groove 124 through the guide curved edge 1241. The ice water will flow into the drainage channel 125 due to the inclination of the bottom of the guide groove 124, and will finally be discharged to the outside from the one-way drainage valve 126, completing the diversion and discharge of the ice water, avoiding the accumulation of ice water from the melted ice cubes in the bottom corner to form accumulated water, reducing the accumulated water capacity, and the ice water discharged to the outside and the odor it emits cannot flow back to the ice storage chamber 13 from the one-way drainage valve 126, greatly reducing the odor generated by the accumulated water and the breeding of bacteria, effectively ensuring the quality of the ice cubes.
[0073] The above examples are only used to further illustrate the technical content of the utility model, so that readers can understand it more easily, but it does not mean that the implementation methods of the utility model are limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made based on the utility model is protected by the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model shall be based on the claims.
