[0039] Example 1

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 ,Figure 8 and Figure 9 A multifunctional built-in ice bucket includes a mounting base 3, an ice storage cylinder 5 above the mounting base 3, a top cover 2 at the top of the ice storage cylinder 5, a stirring component 4 inside the ice storage cylinder 5 to prevent the ice cubes inside from sticking together, a mounting component 6 inside the mounting base 3, a pushing component 7 inside the mounting component 6, and a transmission component 8 on one side of the mounting component 6.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The multifunctional built-in ice bucket provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 3 includes a support frame 31, a fixing plate 33 is fixedly provided at the top of the support frame 31, and a funnel 32 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 33. The funnel 32 is used to connect an external water pipe or place a container at its bottom to transport or catch ice blocks conveyed by the pushing component 7. The top cover 2 includes a top plate 21, and a feed port 22 is provided on the top plate 21.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the mounting component 6 includes a connecting frame 61 embedded in the fixing plate 33. A first discharge port 62 is opened at the front of the bottom end of the connecting frame 61. The interior of the first discharge port 62 is connected to the interior of the funnel 32. A baffle 10 is hinged inside the connecting frame 61 above the first discharge port 62. The baffle 10 is used to block ice blocks falling from the top, so that the ice blocks will be pushed into the funnel 32 through the first discharge port 62 when pushed by the pushing component 7, and then flow out from the outlet of the funnel 32. A second discharge port 65 is opened at the top of the connecting frame 61.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the front end of the second discharge port 65 is provided with serrations. The serrations are used to cooperate with the push component 7 to crush the ice remaining on the second discharge port 65, so as to avoid affecting the operation of the push component 7 and the transmission component 8. The bottom end of the connecting frame 61 is fixedly provided with a first mounting plate 63. The front end of the first mounting plate 63 is provided with a second mounting plate 64 fixedly connected to the connecting frame 61. The second mounting plate 64 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed plate 33 and the support frame 31. The first mounting plate 63 is used to connect with the transmission component 8.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the transmission assembly 8 includes a second motor 81 fixed to one side of the first mounting plate 63. An installation port is provided on the other side of the first mounting plate 63. A gear 82 is provided on the other side of the first mounting plate 63 inside the installation port. The installation port is used to enable the gear 82 to drive the push assembly 7. The output end of the second motor 81 passes through the first mounting plate 63 and is fixedly connected to the gear 82.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the pushing component 7 includes a sealing plate 73 and a pushing plate 72 that slide inside the connecting frame 61. The sealing plate 73 is used to block the ice blocks on the second discharge port 65 to prevent the ice blocks above the sealing plate 73 from continuing to fall when the pushing plate 72 pushes the ice blocks inside the connecting frame 61, causing the ice blocks to get stuck inside the connecting frame 61. The pushing plate 72 is fixed to the front end of the sealing plate 73. A rack 71 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the sealing plate 73, and the rack 71 meshes with the gear 82.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a limiting component 9 is provided on one side of the rack 71. The limiting component 9 includes a connecting block 93 fixed inside the rear of the connecting frame 61. A first stop plate 91 is fixed on the connecting block 93. The first stop plate 91 is slidably connected to the rack 71, making the rack 71 more stable when moving. A second stop plate 92 is fixed at the rear end of the rack 71. Through the connecting block 93 and the second stop plate 92, the rack 71 can be prevented from moving beyond the required range.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ice storage cylinder 5 includes a storage chamber 57 fixed between the fixed plate 33 and the top plate 21. A first mounting shell 51 and a second mounting shell 52 are respectively connected to both sides of the storage chamber 57. A first connecting plate 53 is slidably installed inside the first mounting shell 51, and a cooling element 54 is installed on the first connecting plate 53. A second connecting plate 55 is slidably installed inside the second mounting shell 52, and a temperature sensor 56 is installed on the second connecting plate 55. When the temperature sensor 56 detects that the temperature inside the storage chamber 57 exceeds the preset temperature, the cooling element 54 is activated to cool the inside of the storage chamber 57. The cooling element 54 can be a cooling wire installed around the outer wall of the storage chamber 57. The storage chamber 57 is used to store ice.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] The multifunctional built-in ice buckets provided in Embodiments 1 and 2 are further optimized, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the stirring assembly 4 includes a rotating rod 41 located at the bottom of the top plate 21. Several stirring rods 42 are fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating rod 41. A motor 43 is fixedly mounted on the top of the top plate 21. The output end of the motor 43 passes through the top plate 21 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 41. By starting the motor 43, the rotating rod 41 and the stirring rods 42 are rotated, thereby stirring the ice blocks inside the storage chamber 57. Stirring is only required at regular intervals, thus preventing the ice blocks from sticking together.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, several connecting rods 44 are fixedly provided on both sides of the rotating rod 41, and cleaning plates 11 are provided on both sides of the rotating rod 41. The cleaning plates 11 are arc-shaped to fit the inner wall of the storage chamber 57. The two cleaning plates 11 are fixedly connected to the nearest connecting rods 44. When the first motor 43 is started, the connecting rods 44 drive the cleaning plates 11 to rotate, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the storage chamber 57 and preventing the accumulation of ice or the adhesion of ice blocks on the inner wall. A third connecting plate 12 is provided below the rotating rod 41 and the cleaning plate 11. Through the third connecting plate 12, the bottom position inside the storage chamber 57 can be cleaned.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a protective frame 1 located outside the storage chamber 57 is fixed between the fixed plate 33 and the top plate 21. The protective frame 1 serves to insulate and protect against excessive noise when the stirring assembly 4 is started.

[0053] The multifunctional built-in ice bucket provided by this invention is used as follows:

[0054] Ice blocks are poured into the storage chamber 57 through the feed inlet 22. When the ice blocks need to be removed, the second motor 81 is started to move the sealing plate 73 backward through the gear 82 and rack 71, so that the second discharge port 65 is no longer blocked, and the ice blocks fall into the connecting frame 61. The ice blocks are blocked by the baffle 10, ensuring that the ice blocks are pushed out uniformly when pushed later.

[0055] At this time, start the second motor 81 to rotate in another direction, so that the rack 71 moves forward. The ice block inside the second discharge port 65 will be crushed by the push plate 72 and the saw teeth to avoid affecting the operation. The ice block at the front end of the push plate 72 is pushed forward, so that the ice block pushes the baffle 10 and falls out of the outlet of the funnel 32 through the first discharge port 62.

[0056] When it is necessary to stir the ice inside the storage chamber 57 to prevent the ice blocks from sticking together, start motor 43 to rotate the rotating rod 41, which drives the stirring rod 42 and connecting rod 44 to stir the ice inside the storage chamber 57. At the same time, it drives the cleaning plate 11 and the third connecting plate 12 to clean the ice accumulated on the inner wall of the storage chamber 57.
