[0068] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0069] An ice-making apparatus 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] like Figures 1-27 As shown, the ice-making device 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 200, an ice-making module 300, an ice-pushing assembly 400, and an ice-delivering assembly 500.

[0071] The housing 200 has an ice receiving cavity 231, an ice discharging cavity 211, and an ice discharging port 214. The ice discharging port 214 is connected to the ice discharging cavity 211. An ice-making module 300, an ice-pushing assembly 400, and an ice-delivering assembly 500 are all located in the housing 200. The ice-making module 300 is used to make ice blocks in the ice receiving cavity 231. The ice-pushing assembly 400 is used to push the ice blocks made by the ice-making module 300 from the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharging cavity 211. The ice-delivering assembly 500 is used to deliver the ice blocks that fall into the ice discharging cavity 211 one by one to the ice discharging port 214, so that the ice blocks can be smoothly delivered from the ice discharging port 214 to the designated position, avoiding multiple ice blocks from freezing together and blocking the ice discharging port 214.

[0072] According to the ice-making device 20 of the present invention, by providing an ice-feeding component 500, ice blocks falling into the ice discharge chamber 211 are transported one by one to the ice discharge port 214, so that the ice blocks can be transported one by one from the ice discharge port 214 to the designated position, thereby avoiding multiple ice blocks freezing together at the ice discharge port 214 and blocking the ice discharge port 214, preventing the ice blocks from falling from the ice discharge port 214.

[0073] Therefore, the ice-making apparatus according to the embodiments of the present invention has advantages such as being able to transport the produced ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port, avoiding multiple ice blocks from freezing together, and facilitating the improvement of ice block transportation efficiency.

[0074] An ice-making apparatus 20 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] like Figures 1-27 As shown, the ice-making device 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 200, an ice-making module 300, an ice-pushing assembly 400, and an ice-delivering assembly 500.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 24As shown, the ice discharge port 214 can be formed as a funnel-shaped opening. The diameter of the ice discharge port 214 on the side facing the ice delivery component 500 is larger, and the diameter on the other side is smaller, so that the ice blocks delivered by the ice delivery component 500 to the ice discharge port 214 can enter the ice discharge port 214 from the side with the larger diameter and be discharged from the side with the smaller diameter along the inner wall of the ice discharge port 214, so as to further guide the ice blocks to be discharged one by one from the ice discharge port 214 and avoid multiple ice blocks blocking the ice discharge port 214.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ice delivery assembly 500 includes an ice delivery component 510 and an ice delivery driver 520. The ice delivery component 510 is rotatably disposed in the ice discharge cavity 211. The ice delivery driver 520 is connected to the ice delivery component 510 and is used to drive the ice delivery component 510 to rotate. When the ice delivery driver 520 is working, it can drive the ice delivery component 510 to rotate in the ice discharge cavity 211. While rotating, the ice delivery component 510 can transport the ice blocks that fall into the ice discharge cavity 211 one by one to the ice discharge port 214, so that the ice blocks can be discharged one by one from the ice discharge port 214 to the designated position.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 24 As shown, the ice discharge port 214 is located below the ice feeding component 510. When the ice pushing assembly 400 pushes the ice blocks in the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharge cavity 211, the ice blocks first reach the ice feeding component 510. At this time, the ice feeding component 510 rotates to arrange the ice blocks and drive the ice blocks to rotate at a certain angle. When the ice blocks rotate to a certain position, the ice blocks can detach from the ice feeding component 510 under the influence of gravity and fall downwards one by one into the ice discharge port 214, so that the ice blocks are transported one by one to the ice discharge port 214 and from the ice discharge port 214 to the designated position.

[0079] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the ice feeding member 510 forms a screw. When the screw rotates, the ice blocks in the ice discharge chamber 211 can cooperate with the screw so that the ice blocks can rotate when the screw rotates, thereby conveying the ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port 214, so that the ice blocks can be discharged from the ice discharge port 214 to the designated position.

[0080] like Figure 17 , Figure 18 As shown, in this embodiment, the ice discharge chamber 211 extends in the left-right direction, and the screw also extends in the left-right direction. The screw is provided with threads that extend spirally along the length of the screw, that is, they are arranged on the screw in the left-right direction. Multiple ice blocks can be arranged at intervals on the screw in the left-right direction. When the ice delivery driver 520 drives the screw to rotate, the screw can drive the multiple ice blocks in the ice discharge chamber 211 to move towards the ice discharge port 214, and finally discharge them one by one from the ice discharge port 214.

[0081] Specifically, since multiple ice blocks are arranged at intervals along the left and right direction on the screw, when the screw rotates, it can drive these ice blocks to move in an orderly manner toward the ice discharge port 214. During the movement, they are still arranged at intervals along the left and right direction, and finally discharged to the designated position through the ice discharge port 214. During this process, multiple ice blocks are separated by the screw threads to prevent multiple ice blocks from contacting each other and freezing together, thus blocking the ice discharge port 214.

[0082] In some examples, the height of the thread teeth is not less than the outer diameter of an ice block, and the pitch is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the ice block, so that when the ice pushing assembly 400 pushes the ice block from the ice receiving cavity 231 into the ice discharging cavity 211, the ice block can fall exactly into the thread groove, so that when the screw rotates, it can drive the ice block to move toward the ice discharging port 214.

[0083] Furthermore, the height of the thread teeth is less than the sum of the outer diameters of the two ice blocks, and the pitch is less than the sum of the outer diameters of the two ice blocks, so as to avoid two or more ice blocks falling close together in the thread groove when the ice pushing assembly 400 pushes the ice blocks from the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharging cavity 211.

[0084] It should be noted that the size of the ice block is related to the structural dimensions of the ice-making module 300, as well as the ice-making time and efficiency. When designing the screw, the size of the thread on the screw and the pitch of two adjacent threads can be designed according to the size of the ice block produced by the ice-making module 300.

[0085] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the housing 200 is provided with a first support 610 and a second support 620 arranged opposite to each other. The two ends of the ice-feeding component 510 are rotatably engaged with the first support 610 and the second support 620 respectively. The first support 610 and the second support 620 can support the ice-feeding component 510 inside the housing 200 and ensure that the ice-feeding component 510 can rotate smoothly in the ice discharge cavity 211, driving the ice blocks in the ice discharge cavity 211 to be discharged one by one from the ice discharge port 214 to the designated location.

[0086] like Figure 16 , Figure 18 As shown, the ice delivery component 510 extends in the left and right direction. The first bracket 610 is located at the left end of the ice delivery component 510, and the second bracket 620 is located at the right end of the ice delivery component 510. The first bracket 610 and the second bracket 620 cooperate with the inner wall of the housing 200 to install the ice delivery component 510 in the ice discharge cavity 211.

[0087] The ice delivery driver 520 is located on the outside of the housing 200, for example, on the left side of the housing 200. The left side wall of the housing 200 and the corresponding position of the first bracket 610 are provided with through holes. The second bracket 620 has mounting holes. The left end of the ice delivery component 510 is engaged with the through hole on the first bracket 610, and the right end of the ice delivery component 510 is engaged with the mounting hole on the second bracket 620.

[0088] The drive shaft of the ice delivery driver 520 can pass through the through hole on the left side wall of the housing 200 and extend into the through hole of the first bracket 610 to cooperate with the left end of the ice delivery component 510 so that the ice delivery component 510 can be driven to rotate when the ice delivery driver 520 rotates.

[0089] In some examples, the first support 610 is slidably engaged with the ice delivery component 510.

[0090] During the process of installing the ice delivery component 500 into the housing 200, the left end of the ice delivery component 510 can be inserted into the through hole on the first bracket 610, and the right end of the ice delivery component 510 can be inserted into the mounting hole on the second bracket 620. Then, the position of the first bracket 610 on the ice delivery component 510 can be adjusted, for example, by moving the first bracket 610 to the right, so as to shorten the overall length of the first bracket 610, the ice delivery component 510 and the second bracket 620 in the left and right direction. Then, the assembled first bracket 610, the ice delivery component 510 and the second bracket 620 can be installed into the housing 200 to avoid the first bracket 610, the ice delivery component 510 and the second bracket 620 being too long in the left and right direction to be installed into the housing 200.

[0091] Then, the position of the first bracket 610 on the ice delivery component 510 is adjusted again, for example, by moving the first bracket 610 to the left to increase the overall length of the first bracket 610, the ice delivery component 510 and the second bracket 620 in the left and right directions, so that the first bracket 610 contacts the left side wall of the housing 200 and the second bracket 620 contacts the right side wall of the housing 200.

[0092] After adjustment, the first bracket 610 can be fixed to the left side wall of the housing 200 with screws or other fasteners, and the second bracket 620 can be fixed to the right side wall of the housing 200 to prevent ice blocks from falling from the ice discharge cavity 211 into the ice delivery assembly 500. When there is a downward force on the ice delivery assembly 500, the ice delivery assembly 500 will fall out of the housing 200, ensuring that the ice delivery assembly 510 can rotate stably and deliver the ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port 214.

[0093] After the first bracket 610 and the second bracket 620 are installed, the ice delivery driver 520 can be fixed to the outside of the left side wall of the housing 200 with screws or other fasteners, so that the drive shaft of the ice delivery driver 520 can pass through the through hole on the left side wall of the housing 200 and cooperate with the ice delivery component 510 in the through hole of the first bracket 610.

[0094] The ice delivery driver 520 is fixed to the outside of the housing 200 to separate the ice delivery driver 520 from the ice and water inside the housing 200, thus preventing the ice and water inside the housing 200 from affecting the ice delivery driver 520.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ice discharge chamber 211 is located below the ice receiving chamber 231, and the ice discharge chamber 211 is located on one side of the ice receiving chamber 231 in a preset direction. The ice pushing assembly 400 includes an ice pushing member 410, which is located inside the ice receiving chamber 231. The ice pushing member 410 is movable along a preset direction. When the ice pushing member 410 moves, it can push the ice block from the ice receiving chamber 231 into the ice discharge chamber 211. Then, the ice delivery assembly 500 is used to transport the ice block in the ice discharge chamber 211 one by one to the ice discharge port 214, so that the ice block can reach the designated position from the ice discharge port 214.

[0096] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the ice discharge chamber 211 is located below the ice receiving chamber 231 and is located in front of the ice receiving chamber 231. The ice pushing component 410 can move in the front-back direction in the ice receiving chamber 231 to push the ice blocks in the ice receiving chamber 231 out of the ice receiving chamber 231. Under the influence of gravity, the ice blocks pushed out of the ice receiving chamber 231 can fall downward into the ice discharge chamber 211. The ice conveying component 500 in the ice discharge chamber 211 will transport the ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port 214.

[0097] Specifically, when the ice-making module 300 is making ice, the ice pusher 410 is located behind the ice receiving cavity 231. After the ice-making module 300 completes ice making, the ice produced by the ice-making module 300 is located in front of the ice pusher 410, so that when the ice pusher 410 moves forward, it can push all the ice blocks in the ice receiving cavity 231 forward, so that all the ice blocks are pushed out of the ice receiving cavity 231, and all the ice blocks can fall down into the ice discharge cavity 211, and the ice delivery component 500 delivers the ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port 214.

[0098] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the preset direction is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the ice feeding component 510, so as to make full use of the ice feeding assembly 500 and make the ice feeding assembly 500 deliver the ice blocks falling into the ice discharge cavity 211 one by one to the ice discharge port 214, thereby improving the ice feeding efficiency of the ice feeding assembly 500.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the ice feeding component 510 extends in the left and right direction, and the rotation axis of the ice feeding component 510 extends in the left and right direction. The length direction of the ice pushing component 410 extends in the left and right direction, and the ice pushing component 410 can move in the front and back direction. The multiple ice blocks produced by the ice making module 300 are arranged in the ice receiving cavity 231. When the ice pushing component 410 moves forward, it can push out the multiple ice blocks at the front of the ice receiving cavity 231, so that these ice blocks fall to the ice feeding component 510 and are arranged in the left and right direction at different positions of the ice feeding component 510. This allows the ice feeding component 510 to simultaneously transport these ice blocks toward the ice discharge port 214, thereby improving the ice feeding efficiency of the ice feeding component 510.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ice pushing assembly 400 further includes a transmission mechanism 430 and an ice pushing driver 420. The ice pushing driver 420 cooperates with the transmission mechanism 430 to drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move. The transmission mechanism 430 is disposed in the ice receiving cavity 231 and cooperates with the ice pushing component 410 so that when the ice pushing driver 420 drives the transmission mechanism 430 to move, the transmission mechanism 430 can drive the ice pushing component 410 to move, so that the ice pushing component 410 can push the ice block in the ice receiving cavity 231 to move in a preset direction, so as to push the ice block in the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharging cavity 211.

[0101] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the ice pusher 420 is disposed outside the housing 200. The ice pusher 420 is connected to the transmission mechanism 430 through the connecting shaft 440. Disposing the ice pusher 420 outside the housing 200 facilitates the separation of the ice pusher 420 from the ice and water inside the housing 200, thereby preventing the ice and water inside the housing 200 from affecting the ice delivery driver 520.

[0102] The connecting shaft 440 has a first connecting hole 4421, the housing 200 has a second connecting hole 251, and the connecting member 630 passes through the first connecting hole 4421 and the second connecting hole 251, thereby rotatably mounting the connecting shaft 440 on the housing 200. When the ice pusher 420 drives the connecting shaft 440 to rotate, the connecting shaft 440 can drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move in a preset direction and push the ice in the ice receiving cavity 231 into the ice discharging cavity 211.

[0103] In some embodiments, the ice pusher driver 420 can drive the connecting shaft 440 to rotate. The connecting shaft 440 and the transmission mechanism 430 are threaded together so that when the connecting shaft 440 rotates, it can drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move in a preset direction, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move in a preset direction.

[0104] In some examples, the connecting shaft 440 extends in the front-back direction. One end of the connecting shaft 440 is connected to the ice pusher 420, and the other end of the connecting shaft 440 is connected to the transmission mechanism 430 by a threaded connection. When the connecting shaft 440 rotates, it can drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move in the front-back direction, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move in the front-back direction, so that the ice pusher 410 can push the ice block in the ice receiving cavity 231 forward to push the ice block in the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharge cavity 211.

[0105] In other embodiments, the ice pusher 420 can drive the connecting shaft 440 to rotate. The connecting shaft 440 and the transmission mechanism 430 are engaged by a gear and rack so that when the connecting shaft 440 rotates, it can drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move in a preset direction, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move in a preset direction.

[0106] In some examples, one end of the connecting shaft 440 is connected to the ice pusher 420, and the other end of the connecting shaft 440 is provided with a drive gear. The transmission mechanism 430 is formed as a first rack, which extends in the front-back direction and meshes with the drive gear. The ice pusher 420 can drive the connecting shaft 440 to rotate, thereby driving the drive gear to rotate, so as to drive the first rack to move in the front-back direction, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move in the front-back direction, so that the ice pusher 410 can push the ice block in the ice receiving cavity 231 forward, so as to push the ice block in the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharge cavity 211.

[0107] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 430 has a mating hole 434, and the connecting shaft 440 includes a shaft body 441 and a bushing 442. One end of the shaft body 441 is connected to the ice pusher 420, so that the ice pusher 420 can drive the shaft body 441 to rotate. The inner peripheral wall of the bushing 442 is mated with the other end of the shaft body 441, and the outer peripheral wall of the bushing 442 is mated with the mating hole 434. During the rotation of the shaft body 441, the shaft body 441 can drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move through the bushing 442.

[0108] The first connecting hole 4421 is provided on the bottom wall of the bushing 442, so that the connecting piece 630 can pass through the first connecting hole 4421 and the second connecting hole 251, and the shaft body 441 can be rotatably mounted on the housing 200.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the shaft body 441 extends vertically. The upper end of the shaft body 441 is connected to the ice pusher driver 420. The lower end of the shaft body 441 forms a hexagonal column. The bushing 442 is a hexagonal bushing. The mating hole 434 on the transmission mechanism 430 is a square hole. The hexagonal bushing is fitted onto the hexagonal column at the lower end of the shaft body 441. The inner peripheral wall of the hexagonal bushing matches the outer surface of the hexagonal column. The hexagonal bushing is installed in the square hole. The outer peripheral wall of the hexagonal bushing matches the square hole. When the ice pusher driver 420 drives the shaft body 441 to rotate, the shaft body 441 can drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move through the bushing 442, and then drive the ice pusher 410 to move in a preset direction through the transmission mechanism 430.

[0110] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the transmission mechanism 430 includes two first connecting rods 431 and two second connecting rods 432. One end of each of the two first connecting rods 431 is rotatably connected, and one end of each of the two second connecting rods 432 is rotatably connected. The other ends of each of the two second connecting rods 432 are rotatably connected to the other ends of the two first connecting rods 431, respectively. A connecting shaft 440 engages with one of the two first connecting rods 431, and an ice pusher 410 engages with at least one of the two second connecting rods 432. When the connecting shaft 440 rotates, it can drive the corresponding first connecting rod 431 to rotate, which in turn drives the second connecting rod 432 movably connected to this first connecting rod 431 to rotate. This second connecting rod 432 drives the other second connecting rod 432 to rotate, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move in a preset direction.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, two first connecting rods 431 are located on the left and right sides of the ice receiving cavity 231, respectively, and two second connecting rods 432 are located on the left and right sides of the ice receiving cavity 231, respectively. The rear ends of the two first connecting rods 431 are rotatably connected, and the front ends of the two second connecting rods 432 are rotatably connected. The front end of the first connecting rod 431 on the left side is rotatably connected to the rear end of the second connecting rod 432 on the left side, and the front end of the first connecting rod 431 on the right side is rotatably connected to the rear end of the second connecting rod 432 on the right side, so that the two first connecting rods 431 and the two second connecting rods 432 form a quadrilateral. When one of the first connecting rods 431 rotates, it can drive the two second connecting rods 432 and the other first connecting rod 431 to rotate.

[0112] The ice-pushing component 410 is disposed at the front end of the two second links 432 and cooperates with at least one of the two second links 432 so that when the two second links 432 rotate, the ice-pushing component 410 can be pushed to move in the front-back direction.

[0113] In some examples, such as Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the front end of the first connecting rod 431 on the left is bent upward to form a mating plate 433. The mating plate 433 has a mating hole 434 in the middle. The outer peripheral wall of the bushing 442 is mated with the mating hole 434 so that when the shaft body 441 rotates, the bushing 442 drives the mating plate 433 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting rod 431 on the left to rotate, which in turn drives the two second connecting rods 432 and the first connecting rod 431 on the right to rotate, so as to push the ice pusher 410 to move in the front-back direction.

[0114] A connecting plate 435 is provided on the front side of the mating plate 433, and a connecting plane 443 is provided on the side of the shaft body 441 facing the connecting plate 435. The connecting plate 435 is mated and connected to the connecting plane 443 so that when the shaft body 441 rotates, the connecting plate 435 can be driven to rotate through the connecting plane 443, thereby driving the mating plate 433 and the first connecting rod 431 to rotate, driving the two second connecting rods 432 and the other first connecting rod 431 to rotate, so as to push the ice pusher 410 to move in the front and back direction.

[0115] In other words, the shaft body 441 is engaged with the bushing 442 and the mating hole 434. The shaft body 441 is engaged with the connecting plane 443 and the connecting plate 435 so that when the shaft body 441 rotates, it can stably drive the first connecting rod 431 to rotate, thereby driving the two second connecting rods 432 and the other first connecting rod 431 to rotate stably, so as to push the ice pusher 410 to move stably in the front and back direction, so as to push the ice block in the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharging cavity 211.

[0116] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231 is provided with a fixing part 250, a second connecting hole 251 is provided in the fixing part 250, and the connecting member 630 passes through the second connecting hole 251 on the fixing part 250 and the first connecting hole 4421 on the bushing 442 to fix the fixing part 250 and the connecting shaft 440 together.

[0117] The bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231 is provided with an opening 232 extending in a preset direction. A base plate 260 is provided at the opening 232. At least a portion of the fixing part 250 is sandwiched between the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231 and the base plate 260 to limit the position of the fixing part 250, thereby limiting the position of the connecting shaft 440, so that the connecting shaft is rotatably mounted in the housing 200.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 As shown, the base plate 260 and the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231 are engaged by a snap-fit, which makes it convenient for the user to disassemble and install the base plate 260, thereby facilitating the installation of the fixing part 250, so that at least a part of the fixing part 250 is clamped between the base plate 260 and the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231, and at the same time, it is convenient to remove the fixing part 250 from the opening 232.

[0119] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 11 , Figure 13As shown, the connector 630 includes a sleeve 631 and a first screw 632. The inner wall of the sleeve 631 has internal threads, and the outer surface of the first screw 632 has external threads. The sleeve 631 and the first screw 632 are threaded together. The connecting shaft 440 includes a shaft body 441 and a bushing 442. A first connecting hole 4421 is provided on the bottom wall of the bushing 442. The lower end of the shaft body 441 mates with the upper end of the bushing 442, meaning there is a certain distance between the lower end of the shaft body 441 and the first connecting hole 4421.

[0120] When installing the fixing part 250, the connector 630 and the connecting shaft 440 on the housing 200, the first screw 632 can be passed through the first connecting hole 4421 from the upper end of the bushing 442, and then the bushing 442 can be passed through the second connecting hole 251 on the fixing part 250. Then the first screw 632 can be rotated to make the first screw 632 and the bushing 442 threadedly engaged, so as to fix the fixing part 250 and the bushing 442 together.

[0121] Then, the lower end of the shaft body 441 is engaged with the upper end of the bushing 442. At this time, the screw head of the first screw 632 is located at the lower end of the shaft body 441, between the shaft body 411 and the first connecting hole 4421. When the first screw 632 and the bushing 442 are engaged, there is a gap between the screw head and the bottom wall of the bushing 442 to prevent the bushing 442 from causing the first screw 632 to rotate when the shaft body 441 drives the bushing 442 to rotate, thus disengaging the first screw 632 from the bushing 442.

[0122] Finally, the base plate 260 is installed below the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231, and at least a portion of the fixing part 250 is clamped between the base plate 260 and the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231 to limit the position of the fixing part 250, thereby limiting the position of the connector 630 and the connecting shaft 440, so that the connecting shaft 440 is rotatably disposed on the housing 200.

[0123] In an embodiment where the transmission mechanism 430 includes two first links 431 and two second links 432, such as Figure 14 As shown, the connection between the first connecting rod 431 on the left and the first connecting rod 431 on the right has a through hole, and the mating hole 434 is located above these two through holes. The sleeve 631 can pass through the second connecting hole 251 on the fixing part 250 and then through the through hole at the connection of the two first connecting rods 431. Then, the first screw 632 passes through the first connecting hole 4421 on the bottom wall of the bushing 442 and engages with the sleeve 631, so that while the connecting shaft 440 is rotatably disposed on the housing 200, the two first connecting rods 431 are rotatably connected together.

[0124] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a groove 270 is defined between the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231 and the bottom plate 260. The transmission mechanism 430 is provided with a sliding part 450, which slides in cooperation with the groove 270. Since the sliding part 450 can only slide within the groove 270, the groove 270 can restrict the sliding direction of the sliding part 450. The sliding part 450 can restrict the movement of the transmission mechanism 430, so as to ensure that when the connecting shaft 440 drives the transmission mechanism 430 to move, the transmission mechanism 430 can push the sliding part 450 to slide within the groove 270, thereby ensuring that the transmission mechanism 430 can smoothly drive the ice pusher 410 to move in a preset direction.

[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the base plate 260 extends in the longitudinal direction, and a groove 270 is defined between the bottom wall of the ice cavity 231 and the base plate 260. The groove 270 extends in the longitudinal direction, and the sliding part 450 can move in the longitudinal direction within the groove 270.

[0126] In an embodiment where the transmission mechanism 430 includes two first connecting rods 431 and two second connecting rods 432, at least one of the two second connecting rods 432 cooperates with a sliding part 450. The sliding part 450 is connected to the ice pusher 410 so that when the sliding part 450 moves in the front-back direction, it can drive the ice pusher 410 to move in the front-back direction, so that the ice pusher 410 can push the ice block to the ice discharge chamber 211. When the sliding part 450 moves in the front-back direction, it can restrict the direction of rotation of the two second connecting rods 432 to ensure that the sliding part 450 can move stably in the front-back direction.

[0127] When the ice pusher 420 drives the connecting shaft 440 to rotate clockwise, the connecting shaft 440 can drive the first connecting rod 431 on the left side to rotate clockwise forward. Since the first connecting rod 431 on the left side and the second connecting rod 432 on the left side can rotate together, the sliding part 450 has a limiting effect on the rotation direction of the second connecting rod 432. Therefore, when the first connecting rod 431 on the left side rotates clockwise forward, it can drive the second connecting rod 432 on the left side to rotate. At this time, the front end of the second connecting rod 432 on the left side moves forward, so that the sliding part 450 can move forward in the slide groove 270, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move forward and push the ice in the ice receiving cavity 231 to the ice discharge cavity 211.

[0128] When the ice pusher 420 drives the connecting shaft 440 to rotate counterclockwise, the connecting shaft 440 can drive the first connecting rod 431 on the left side to rotate counterclockwise backward. Since the first connecting rod 431 on the left side and the second connecting rod 432 on the left side can be rotatably engaged, the sliding part 450 has a limiting effect on the rotation direction of the second connecting rod 432. Therefore, when the first connecting rod 431 on the left side rotates counterclockwise backward, it can drive the second connecting rod 432 on the left side to rotate. At this time, the front end of the second connecting rod 432 on the left side moves backward, so that the sliding part 450 can move backward in the slide groove 270, thereby driving the ice pusher 410 to move backward.

[0129] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the sliding part 450 is formed as a U-shaped slider. The left and right sides of the U-shaped slider cooperate with the slide groove 270 to ensure that the U-shaped slider can slide smoothly in the slide groove 270. The middle of the U-shaped slider is raised upward. The front part of the U-shaped slider is provided with a fixing plate 451. The fixing plate 451 extends in the vertical direction. The fixing plate 451 and the ice pusher 410 are fixedly engaged by screws or other fasteners.

[0130] The upward bulge in the middle of the U-shaped slider reduces the contact area between the U-shaped slider and the base plate 260, thereby reducing the friction generated when the U-shaped slider slides in the groove 270 and reducing unnecessary wear on the U-shaped slider and the base plate 260.

[0131] In addition, in some embodiments, the front ends of the two second connecting rods 432 have through holes, and screws can pass through the through holes at the front ends of the two second connecting rods 432 to connect the two second connecting rods 432 to the U-shaped slider, so that the front ends of the two second connecting rods 432 are rotatably connected, and when at least one of the second connecting rods 432 rotates, it can drive the U-shaped slider to slide in the groove.

[0132] The U-shaped slider is designed to bulge upwards in the middle, which allows for the provision of installation space for screws between the U-shaped slider and the base plate 260, thus preventing the screws from contacting the base plate 260.

[0133] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 , Figure 13 As shown, the fixing part 250 is formed as a U-shaped fixing frame. The left and right sides of the U-shaped fixing frame are sandwiched between the bottom plate 260 and the bottom wall of the ice receiving cavity 231. The middle of the U-shaped fixing frame is raised upwards. Two first connecting rods 431 are located above the middle of the U-shaped fixing frame. The sleeve 631 passes through the second connecting hole 251 in the middle of the U-shaped fixing frame and the through hole at the connection of the two first connecting rods 431 to install the two first connecting rods 431 and the U-shaped fixing frame together. The upward raising of the middle of the U-shaped fixing frame provides installation space for the sleeve 631 between the U-shaped fixing frame and the bottom plate 260, preventing the sleeve 631 from directly contacting the bottom plate 260.

[0134] The height of the U-shaped slider rising upwards is matched with the height of the U-shaped fixing frame rising upwards, so that the two first connecting rods 431 and the two second connecting rods 432 are on the same horizontal line, so as to ensure that the two first connecting rods 431 and the two second connecting rods 432 can rotate stably and avoid the two first connecting rods 431 and the two second connecting rods 432 getting stuck in a certain position when rotating.

[0135] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 , Figure 24 As shown, the housing 200 includes an outer shell 210, a water-holding shell 220, and an ice-receiving shell 230. An ice-discharging cavity 211 is formed within the outer shell 210. The water-holding shell 220 is disposed within the outer shell 210 and defines the water-holding cavity 221. The ice-receiving shell 230 is disposed within the outer shell 210 and defines the ice-receiving cavity 231. The bottom wall of the ice-receiving shell 230 has a drainage hole 233, which connects the ice-receiving cavity 231 and the water-holding cavity 221. Water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 can flow into the water-holding cavity 221 through the drainage hole 233, thereby achieving the separation of ice and water within the ice-receiving cavity 231.

[0136] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the water-holding shell 220 is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the ice-receiving shell 230 is located inside the water-holding shell 220. In the second position, the water-holding shell 220 is located below the ice-receiving shell 230. Since the bottom wall of the ice-receiving shell 230 has a water-draining hole 233, when the water-holding shell 220 moves below the ice-receiving shell 230, under the influence of gravity, the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 can reach the water-holding cavity 221 from the water-draining hole 233. Since the size of the ice produced by the ice-making module 300 is larger than the water-draining hole 233, the ice can remain in the ice-receiving cavity 231, thus achieving ice-water separation.

[0137] In addition, when the water-filled shell 220 is in the second position, the liquid level inside the water-filled shell 220 is below the bottom surface of the ice-receiving shell 230, so that all the water in the ice-receiving shell 230 can flow into the water-filled shell 220, and prevent the liquid level inside the water-filled shell 220 from being higher than the bottom surface of the ice-receiving shell 230, so that the water in the water-filled shell 220 can overflow into the ice-receiving shell 230 from the drain hole 233, thus affecting the ice in the ice-receiving shell 230.

[0138] Specifically, such as Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom wall of the ice shell 230 has a plurality of drainage holes 233 arranged in the left-right and front-back directions.

[0139] like Figure 3As shown, when the water-filled shell 220 is in the first position, there is a gap between the bottom wall of the water-filled shell 220 and the ice-receiving shell 230. A small portion of the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 will reach the water-filled shell 220, while most of it will remain in the ice-receiving cavity 231. At this time, the ice-making module 300 can make ice from the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231.

[0140] like Figure 4 As shown, when the water-filled shell 220 is in the second position, the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 can flow into the water-filled shell 220 through the water leakage hole 233, so as to achieve the separation of ice and water.

[0141] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the size of the water-holding shell 220 is slightly larger than that of the ice-receiving shell 230 so that the water-holding shell 220 can move smoothly between the first position and the second position. When the water-holding shell 220 is in the first position, the water-holding shell 220 is fitted over the ice-receiving shell 230.

[0142] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer shell 210 also has a water receiving cavity 212, and the water holding shell 220 has a drain hole 222. The drain hole 222 connects the water holding cavity 221 and the water receiving cavity 212, so that the water in the water holding cavity 221 can flow into the water receiving cavity 212 from the drain hole 222, thereby preventing water from remaining in the water holding cavity 221 for a long time and growing mold.

[0143] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the ice-making device 20 further includes a water pump 643, the inlet and outlet of which are respectively connected to the water receiving chamber 212 and the ice receiving chamber 231 to transport water in the water receiving chamber 212 to the ice receiving chamber 231 for the ice-making module 300 to make ice.

[0144] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 200 also includes a cover 240, which is disposed at the upper end of the outer shell 210 and cooperates with the outer shell 210 to seal the outer shell 210 to a certain extent, so as to prevent dust and other pollutants in the external environment from entering the outer shell 210 from the upper end of the outer shell 210.

[0145] like Figure 24 As shown, a portion of the rear side of the outer shell 210 is recessed downward to form a water receiving cavity 212, and a portion of the front side of the outer shell 210 is recessed downward to form an ice discharge cavity 211. The water receiving cavity 212 and the ice discharge cavity 211 are separated by the middle of the outer shell 210 to prevent water in the water receiving cavity 212 from flowing into the ice discharge cavity 211 and affecting the ice in the ice discharge cavity 211.

[0146] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the ice receiving shell 230 is positioned above the water receiving cavity 212, and the water holding shell 220 is positioned below the ice receiving shell 230. The size of the water holding shell 220 is slightly larger than that of the ice receiving shell 230. When the water holding shell 220 is in the first position, it covers the ice receiving shell 230. At this time, the ice receiving shell 230 can store water in the ice receiving cavity 231 for the ice making module 300 to make ice. When the water holding shell 220 moves down to the second position, the water in the ice receiving cavity 231 flows into the water holding shell 220 through the drain hole 233 to drain the water in the ice receiving cavity 231, so that the ice making module 300 can discharge the ice blocks into the ice receiving cavity 231, thus realizing the separation of ice and water.

[0147] The ice-making device 20 also includes a first pipe 641 and a second pipe 642. The cover 240 is provided with a water inlet hole. The first pipe 641 can be connected to the outlet of the water pump 643 and the ice receiving chamber 231 through the water inlet hole. The second pipe 642 connects the inlet of the water pump 643 and the water receiving chamber 212. The water pump 643 can drive the water in the water receiving chamber 212 to enter the water pump 643 from the inlet through the second pipe 642, and then flow from the outlet of the water pump 643 to the first pipe 641, and from the first pipe 641 into the ice receiving chamber 231 for the ice-making module 300 to make ice.

[0148] In some other specific embodiments of the present invention, the water in the water-holding cavity 221 may not be drained into the water-receiving cavity 212. Instead, the water-holding shell 220 is moved to the first position so that it is fitted over the ice-receiving shell 230. At this time, the water in the water-holding shell 220 can enter the ice-receiving cavity 231 through the water leakage hole 233 and be used by the ice-making module 300 to make ice.

[0149] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the water-holding shell 220 is provided with a drain valve 700 for opening and closing the drain hole 222. When the water-holding shell 220 is in the second position, the outer shell 210 stops the drain valve 700 so that the drain valve 700 opens the drain hole 222. At this time, the water in the water-holding cavity 221 can enter the water receiving cavity 212 through the drain hole 222.

[0150] In some embodiments, such as Figure 24 As shown, the water receiving cavity 212 is located on the rear side of the outer shell 210. The bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 212 is provided with a protruding structure 213. When the water holding shell 220 moves to the second position, the protruding structure 213 abuts against the drain valve 700, which can push the drain valve 700 to move upward to open the drain hole 222, so that the water in the water holding cavity 221 can enter the water receiving cavity 212 through the drain hole 222.

[0151] The protruding structure 213 is designed to ensure that when the drain valve 700 opens the drain hole 222, the drain hole 222 is kept at a certain distance from the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 212, so that the water in the water holding cavity 221 can flow smoothly from the drain hole 222 into the water receiving cavity 212, and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 212 can be prevented from blocking the drain hole 222.

[0152] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a protruding structure 213 is provided on the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 212, and the drain valve 700 includes a movable member 710 and an elastic member 720. The bottom of the movable member 710 passes through the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 212, and the bottom of the movable member 710 is correspondingly provided with the protruding structure 213 so that when the water holding shell 220 is in the second position, the protruding structure 213 can abut against the movable member 710, causing the movable member 710 to move, thereby enabling the drain valve 700 to open the drain hole 222.

[0153] The movable member 710 has a sealing part 711 for opening and closing the drain hole 222. An elastic member 720 is disposed between the bottom of the movable member 710 and the water-holding shell 220 to push the movable member 710 to move in the direction of closing the drain hole 222, so as to prevent water in the water-holding shell 220 from leaking out from the drain hole 222 when the water-holding shell 220 is in the first position.

[0154] Specifically, such as Figure 22 As shown, the movable part 710 can move in the up and down direction. The movable part 710 includes a pressure rod 712 and a second screw 713. The sealing part 711 is installed on the pressure rod 712 and can move with the pressure rod 712. The second screw 713 is connected to the pressure rod 712.

[0155] When the water tank 220 is in the first position, the sealing part 711 is located between the pressure rod 712 and the bottom wall of the water tank 220. At this time, the elastic element 720 has a downward pushing force on the pressure rod 712, and the pressure rod 712 has a downward pressure on the sealing part 711, so that the sealing part 711 can block the drain hole 222.

[0156] Specifically, the elastic element 720 is a compression spring. The elastic element 720 is located below the bottom wall of the water-containing shell 220. One end of the elastic element 720 abuts against the bottom wall of the water-containing shell 220, and the other end abuts against the screw head, so as to exert a downward pushing force on the second screw 713, and in turn exert a downward pushing force on the pressure rod 712, so that the pressure rod 712 exerts downward pressure on the sealing part 711, so that the sealing part 711 can block the drain hole 222.

[0157] The pressure rod 712 and the second screw 713 are connected by a threaded connection, which facilitates the disassembly of the second screw 713 and thus makes it easy to install the elastic element 720 between the second screw 713 and the bottom wall of the water-filled shell 220 or to remove the elastic element 720 from between the second screw 713 and the bottom wall of the water-filled shell 220.

[0158] Meanwhile, by adjusting the second screw 713, the distance between the screw head of the second screw 713 and the bottom wall of the water-filled shell 220 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the thrust of the elastic element 720 on the second screw 713.

[0159] When the water-filled shell 220 moves downward to the second position, the protruding structure 213 on the bottom wall of the water-receiving cavity 212 engages with the second screw 713, exerting an upward thrust on the second screw 713, which in turn exerts an upward thrust on the pressure rod 712, so that the pressure rod 712 can overcome the downward thrust of the elastic element 720, allowing the second screw 713 and the pressure rod 712 to move upward. At this time, the pressure rod 712 drives the sealing part 711 to move upward, thereby opening the drain hole 222.

[0160] When the water-filled shell 220 moves upward and the protruding structure 213 disengages from the second screw 713, the second screw 713 and the pressure rod 712 move downward to return to their original positions under the drive of the elastic element 720, and the pressure rod 712 drives the sealing part 711 to re-seal the drain hole 222.

[0161] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20 As shown, the water-containing shell 220 has two drain holes 222 on its rear side, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. Each drain hole 222 is equipped with a drain valve 700. The bottom wall of the water receiving cavity 212 has two protruding structures 213, such as... Figure 23 As shown, two protruding structures 213 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The positions of the protruding structures 213 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the drain valve 700. When the water tank 220 moves to the second position, the drain valve 700 can open the drain hole 222 when it engages with the protruding structure 213. This allows water in the water tank 221 to flow into the water receiving chamber 212 from the two drain holes 222, thereby improving the drainage efficiency of the water tank 221.

[0162] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the ice-making device 20 also includes a transmission assembly 650 and a lifting driver 660. The lifting driver 660 cooperates with the transmission assembly 650 and can drive the transmission assembly 650 to move. The transmission assembly 650 cooperates with the water tank 220 to move the water tank 220 when the transmission assembly 650 moves, so that the water tank 220 can move smoothly between the first position and the second position.

[0163] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the transmission assembly 650 includes a fixed block 651 and a rotating member 652. The fixed block 651 is disposed on the water-containing shell 220, and the rotating member 652 is threadedly engaged with the fixed block 651. The lifting driver 660 is connected to the rotating member 652 to drive the rotating member 652 to rotate. When the rotating member 652 rotates, the rotating member 652 can drive the fixed block 651 to move, thereby driving the water-containing shell 220 to move, so as to realize the movement of the water-containing shell 220 between a first position and a second position.

[0164] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rotating component 652 extends vertically, and the water-holding shell 220 can move vertically between a first position and a second position. When the lifting driver 660 drives the rotating component 652 to rotate clockwise, the rotating component 652 can drive the fixed block 651 to move downward, thereby moving the water-holding shell 220 downward to the second position. When the lifting driver 660 drives the rotating component 652 to rotate counterclockwise, the rotating component 652 can drive the fixed block 651 to move upward, thereby moving the water-holding shell 220 upward to the first position.

[0165] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the water-holding shell 220 is provided with multiple fixed blocks 651, and the transmission assembly 650 includes multiple rotating parts 652. The rotating parts 652 and the fixed blocks 651 are matched one-to-one. Each rotating part 652 is provided with a lifting driver 660. The multiple lifting drivers 660 can drive the multiple rotating parts 652 to rotate synchronously. When the multiple rotating parts 652 rotate, they can drive the multiple fixed blocks 651 to move simultaneously in the up and down direction, so as to stably drive the water-holding shell 220 to move in the up and down direction, so that the water-holding shell 220 can move stably between the first position and the second position.

[0166] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the transmission assembly 650 includes a second rack and a transmission gear. The second rack is disposed on the water-containing shell 220, and the transmission gear meshes with the second rack. The lifting driver 660 is connected to the transmission gear and can drive the transmission gear to rotate. When the transmission gear rotates, it can drive the second rack to move, thereby driving the water-containing shell 220 to move between a first position and a second position.

[0167] In some embodiments, the second rack extends vertically, and the water-holding shell 220 can move vertically between a first position and a second position. When the lifting driver 660 drives the transmission gear to rotate clockwise, the transmission gear can drive the second rack to move downward, thereby moving the water-holding shell 220 downward to the second position. When the lifting driver 660 drives the transmission gear to rotate counterclockwise, the transmission gear can drive the second rack to move upward, thereby moving the water-holding shell 220 upward to the first position.

[0168] In some embodiments of the present invention, the ice-making module 300 includes an ice-making heat exchanger 310, at least a portion of which is located within the ice-receiving cavity 231. The ice-making heat exchanger 310 has a plurality of spaced-apart ice-making sections 311. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 is in a cooling state, the ice-making sections 311 can produce ice blocks. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 is in a heating state, the ice-making sections 311 separate the produced ice blocks from the ice-making sections 311 so that the ice blocks produced by the ice-making module 300 can fall into the ice-receiving cavity 231.

[0169] In some embodiments, the ice-making section 311 on the ice-making module 300 can directly contact the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 to make ice from the water. A refrigerant or a heating agent can be introduced into the ice-making heat exchanger 310. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 is in ice-making mode, a refrigerant is introduced to absorb heat and thus achieve cooling. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 is in heating mode, a heating agent is introduced to release heat and thus achieve heating.

[0170] In other embodiments, when the ice-making device 20 is used on the air conditioner 1, the air conditioner main unit 11 is equipped with a heat exchanger, and the ice-making heat exchanger 310 contains a heat exchange medium. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 needs to cool, the heat exchanger is in cooling mode and transfers the cooling capacity to the heat exchange medium for cooling. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 needs to heat, the heat exchanger is in heating mode and transfers the heat to the heat exchange medium for heating.

[0171] The ice-making section 311 is connected to the ice-making heat exchanger 310. Both the refrigerant and the heating agent in the ice-making heat exchanger 310 can reach the ice-making section 311. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 is in cooling mode, the refrigerant reaches the ice-making section 311 to absorb heat from the water and turn it into ice. Since the ice-making section 311 is in direct contact with the water, the ice formed will solidify on the ice-making section 311. When the ice-making heat exchanger 310 is in heating mode, the heating agent reaches the ice-making section 311 and melts the portion of the ice in direct contact with the ice-making section 311, causing the ice to separate from the ice-making section 311.

[0172] The refrigerant can be an ethylene glycol solution. It is understood that since ethylene glycol solution does not freeze below 0°C, it is beneficial to improve the ice-making performance of the ice-making heat exchanger 310.

[0173] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 25 , Figure 26 As shown, the ice-making heat exchanger 310 includes multiple heat exchange bends 312 arranged side by side and spaced apart. The ice-making module 300 also includes a heat exchange bracket 320, which is disposed in the ice-making heat exchanger 310. The heat exchange bracket 320 has multiple spaced positioning parts 321 for cooperating with the heat exchange bends 312, thereby separating the multiple heat exchange bends 312. On the one hand, it can position the heat exchange bends 312, and on the other hand, it can separate two adjacent heat exchange bends 312 to avoid collision between adjacent heat exchange bends 312.

[0174] In some embodiments, the heat exchange bends 312 extend in the front-to-back direction, and multiple heat exchange bends 312 are spaced apart in the left-to-right direction. Each heat exchange bend 312 is provided with multiple ice-making parts 311 spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. Each ice-making part 311 can directly contact water to produce multiple ice cubes. A heat exchange bracket 320 is disposed above the ice-making heat exchanger 310. The heat exchange bracket 320 is provided with multiple positioning parts 321 arranged in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions. The positioning parts 321 cooperate with the heat exchange bends 312 to limit the position of the heat exchange bends 312 and separate two adjacent heat exchange bends 312 to prevent two adjacent heat exchange bends 312 from colliding with each other.

[0175] Specifically, when the ice-making unit 311 makes ice, for user convenience, it generally does not directly produce a large, single ice block, but rather produces multiple smaller ice blocks. The positioning part 321 on the heat exchange bracket 320 can separate each heat exchange bend 312, preventing the distance between the heat exchange bends 312 from being too small, which would result in the distance between the ice-making units 311 being too small, causing the ice blocks produced by the ice-making unit 311 to connect into a single ice block. This would be detrimental to user operation.

[0176] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, an ice-making module 300 is disposed inside an ice-receiving cavity 231. The ice-making module 300 is capable of cooling the water inside the ice-receiving cavity 231 to make at least a portion of the water inside the ice-receiving cavity 231 into ice blocks.

[0177] When ice making begins, refrigerant is introduced into the ice-making heat exchanger 310, at which point the water-holding shell 220 is in the first position. Then, a certain amount of water is injected into the ice-receiving cavity 231. Since the water-holding shell 220 is wrapped around the ice-receiving shell 230, a certain amount of water can be stored in the ice-receiving cavity 231, allowing the ice-making part 311 to extend into the ice-receiving cavity 231 and directly contact the water inside. Because the temperature of the refrigerant in the ice-making heat exchanger 310 is low, it can absorb heat from the water to make a portion of the water that is close to the ice-making part 311 into ice blocks.

[0178] After the ice-making module 300 completes ice making, the water-holding shell 220 can be driven to move downward to the second position. Since the water leakage hole 233 on the bottom wall of the ice-receiving shell 230 connects the ice-receiving cavity 231 and the water-holding cavity 221, the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 can flow into the water-holding cavity 221 through the water leakage hole 233. After all the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 flows into the water-holding cavity 221 through the water leakage hole 233, the heating agent is introduced into the ice-making heat exchanger 310 so that the ice blocks on the ice-making part 311 can fall into the ice-making cavity. Since the size of the ice blocks is larger than the diameter of the water leakage hole 233, the ice blocks will remain in the ice-receiving cavity 231.

[0179] By driving the water-filled shell 220 downward to the second position, the water in the ice-receiving cavity 231 can flow into the water-filled cavity 221 through the water leakage hole 233, which facilitates the separation of ice and water. This not only avoids the problem of ice absorbing heat from the water and thus accelerating the melting of ice when water and ice are placed together, but also makes it easy to remove ice separately.

[0180] After the water in the ice receiving cavity 231 is drained and the ice-making module 300 discharges ice blocks into the ice receiving cavity 231, the ice delivery driver 520 can be started to rotate the ice delivery component 510. Then, the ice pusher driver 420 can be started to drive the transmission mechanism 430 to move forward, thereby pushing the ice pusher 410 forward. The ice pusher 410 moves forward and pushes the ice blocks in the ice receiving cavity 231 forward, so that the ice blocks can fall into the ice discharge cavity 211. The ice delivery component 510 in the ice discharge cavity 211 delivers the ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port 214, so that the ice blocks reach the designated position from the ice discharge port 214.

[0181] The air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below. The air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air conditioning main unit 11, a portable sub-unit 12, and an ice-making device 20 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0182] The mobile sub-unit 12 can be detachably installed on the air conditioning unit 11. When a user needs to cool an area that is far from the air conditioning unit 11, since the air conditioning unit 11 is heavy and it is difficult to reposition the air conditioning unit 11, the mobile sub-unit 12 can be moved to the designated area and used for cooling, which improves the convenience of use and enhances the user experience.

[0183] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the mobile sub-unit 12 is provided with wheels to facilitate the user to move the mobile sub-unit 12 to a designated area.

[0184] The ice-making device 20 is located on the main air conditioning unit 11 and directly above the mobile sub-unit 12, so that the ice blocks prepared by the ice-making device 20 can directly reach the mobile sub-unit 12 by gravity and provide cooling to the mobile sub-unit 12.

[0185] In some embodiments, such as Figure 27 As shown, an ice discharge pipe 13 is provided below the ice discharge port 214, extending vertically. The upper part of the ice discharge pipe 13 is connected to the ice discharge port 214, and the lower part is connected to the mobile sub-machine 12. It should be understood that the above directional limitation is only for the convenience of describing the attached drawings and does not limit the actual setting position and orientation of the ice-making device 20. After the ice feeding component 510 delivers ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port 214, the ice blocks entering the ice discharge port 214 can smoothly reach the mobile sub-machine 12 along the ice discharge pipe 13 under the influence of gravity, providing ice blocks for the mobile sub-machine 12.

[0186] The air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by utilizing the ice-making device 20 according to the above embodiment of the present invention, has the advantages of being able to transport the produced ice blocks one by one to the ice discharge port, avoiding multiple ice blocks from freezing together, and facilitating the improvement of the ice block transportation efficiency.
