[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ice-making machine according to the present invention includes a machine body, an ice-making assembly 2 and an ice-dispensing nozzle 11. The ice-making assembly 2 is arranged on the machine body, and the ice-making assembly 2 is provided with an ice storage area 21; the ice-dispensing nozzle 11 is connected to the machine body, and the ice-dispensing nozzle 11 is provided with an ice-dispensing channel 111 connected to the outside, and the ice-dispensing channel 111 is connected to the ice storage area 21. The ice-dispensing nozzle 11 is provided with a guide hole 1121 connected to the ice-dispensing channel 111, and the guide hole 1121 is connected to the inside of the machine body.

[0029] According to the ice making machine of the embodiment of the present invention, ice is made by the ice making assembly 2 and ice cubes are stored in the ice storage area 21. When the user needs to use ice cubes, the ice cubes in the ice storage area 21 are discharged into the ice outlet channel 111 of the ice outlet nozzle 11, so as to be discharged through the ice outlet channel 111. When ice cubes produce melted water or ice debris enters the ice outlet channel 111, the melted water and ice debris can flow into the guide hole 1121, and then flow back to the inside of the machine body to prevent water from dripping to the outside. The size of the guide hole 1121 is small, and the ice cubes will not enter the guide hole 1121, that is, they can be discharged normally. In this way, the melted water is prevented from dripping on the table or the floor, and the user experience is improved.

[0030] In this embodiment, the ice outlet passage 111 may extend in the vertical direction, for example, the entrance of the ice outlet passage 111 is located at the upper part of the ice outlet nozzle 11, and the exit is located at the lower part of the ice outlet nozzle 11, so that ice cubes fall from above, which is convenient for receiving ice cubes from below the ice outlet nozzle 11. Optionally, the ice outlet nozzle 11 is located on one side of the machine body, that is, the ice outlet nozzle 11 is located on one side of the ice storage area 21, and the entrance of the ice outlet passage 111 is opened on the side wall of the ice outlet nozzle 11, and the entrance on the side wall of the ice outlet nozzle 11 is connected to the ice storage area 21. When the melted ice flows down along the inner wall of the ice outlet passage 111, it needs to flow through the guide hole 1121, so that it will not flow to the outside through the ice outlet passage 111. Exemplarily, an ice door 12 is provided at the entrance of the ice outlet passage 111. The ice door 12 is used to control the opening and closing of the ice outlet passage 111 and the ice storage area 21. The ice door 12 can be rotatably connected to the ice outlet nozzle 11. When the ice door 12 is rotated to block the entrance of the ice outlet passage 111, the ice cubes in the ice storage area 21 are stopped by the ice door 12, so that they will not enter the ice outlet passage 111. At this time, the ice door 12 can also stop the ice debris and ice melt water generated by the ice cubes from entering the ice outlet passage 111, thereby effectively reducing the ice debris and ice melt water from dripping from the ice outlet passage 111 to the outside. It can be understood that even if a very small part of the ice melt water enters the ice outlet passage 111 from the gap of the ice door 12, it will be diverted back to the inside of the machine body by the diversion hole 1121. The ice door 12 blocks ice debris, which can effectively reduce the amount of melted ice entering the ice outlet channel 111, thereby alleviating the drainage pressure at the guide hole 1121 and preventing water from dripping onto the table or the ground outside due to untimely drainage of the guide hole 1121.

[0031] Exemplarily, the guide hole 1121 may be an elongated hole to prevent ice cubes from being stuck in the guide hole 1121. The extension direction of the guide hole 1121 is horizontal extension to fully cover the area through which the ice melt water may flow. Of course, in one embodiment, the guide hole 1121 may be arranged to surround the ice outlet channel 111, and a guide channel may be correspondingly arranged on the ice outlet nozzle 11 to guide the water at the guide hole 1121 to the inside of the machine body. In order to facilitate production and save production costs, the guide hole 1121 may be arranged only on one side wall of the ice outlet nozzle 11 adjacent to the ice storage area 21, so that the ice melt water generated by the ice cubes can more easily flow through the side wall of the ice outlet nozzle 11 adjacent to the ice storage area 21, thereby facilitating the guide hole 1121 to recover the ice melt water.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice outlet channel 111 is provided with a first side wall 112 adjacent to the ice storage area 21 , the guide hole 1121 is opened in the first side wall 112 , and the first side wall 112 is gradually inclined away from the ice storage area 21 in the ice outlet direction of the ice outlet channel 111 .

[0033] Exemplarily, the ice outlet channel 111 and the ice storage area 21 are arranged in a left-right structure. For example, the ice outlet channel 111 is located on the left side of the ice storage area 21, and the right side wall of the ice outlet channel 111 is the first side wall 112. Of course, the ice outlet channel 111 may also be located on the right side of the ice storage area 21, which is not limited here. It can be understood that the ice storage area 21 on the right side transports ice cubes to the ice outlet channel 111 on the left side, and the ice cubes slide down from the first side wall 112, so that the guide hole 1121 on the first side wall 112 can recover the ice melt water. The first side wall 112 is sloped to prevent the ice cubes from falling too fast from the ice outlet channel 111, and plays a buffering role. At the same time, it can also prevent the ice melt water from dripping at the entrance of the ice outlet channel 111 without contacting the inner wall of the ice outlet channel 111, resulting in the inability of the guide hole 1121 to recover the directly dripping ice melt water. The guide holes 1121 may extend in the transverse direction of the first side wall 112 to completely cover the width direction of the first side wall 112 as much as possible, so that the melted water flowing down from the first side wall 112 can flow into the guide holes 1121 to prevent the melted water from dripping to the outside. Of course, there may be multiple guide holes 1121 to cover as many areas as possible that the melted water may flow through.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the guide hole 1121 is connected with a plurality of spaced grid bars 114. It can be understood that the plurality of grid bars 114 are arranged at intervals along the transverse direction of the guide hole 1121, so as to prevent normal-sized ice cubes from being stuck in the guide hole 1121, and will not affect the ice melt water passing through the guide hole 1121. The plurality of grid bars 114 can be arranged in the guide hole 1121 to form a screening grid to screen the ice cubes, that is, the ice debris can flow back through the guide hole 1121, so as to prevent the ice cubes received by the user from having too much ice debris, thereby improving the user experience. Exemplarily, each grid bar 114 extends in the vertical direction, and the connection position of the grid bar 114 should be concave, that is, the first side wall 112 is used as the reference plane, and the grid bar 114 is located below the reference plane, so as to prevent the grid bar 114 from being flush with the first side wall 112, thereby preventing the ice melt water from flowing down from the grid bar 114 without flowing back through the guide hole 1121.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the distance between each two adjacent grid bars 114 ranges from 3 mm to 4 mm. For example, if the distance between two grid bars 114 is 3 mm, then ice melt water can pass through a 3 mm hole, while ice cubes larger than 3 mm will not pass through the interval formed between two adjacent grid bars 114. In this way, it is possible to avoid excessive ice cubes or ice debris from flowing back into the body. Excessive ice cubes or ice debris are prone to block the drainage holes in the body when they are not melted, which is not conducive to drainage. By providing multiple grid bars 114 arranged at intervals, even if the holes between individual grid bars 114 are blocked, the diversion holes 1121 will not completely lose their diversion capacity.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, one side of each grid bar 114 facing the ice outlet channel 111 is concave to form a concave space 1143. Exemplarily, the grid bar 114 is a curved arc structure, and the concave space 1143 formed is used to accommodate small ice cubes or ice debris, etc., which can flow back to the inside of the machine body through the guide hole 1121 after melting to be recycled or centrally processed, so as to avoid excessive flow of small ice cubes or ice debris back to the inside of the machine body and cause accumulation. After the small ice cubes and ice debris in the concave space 1143 melt, it is convenient for the inside of the machine body to be drained.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the grille bar 114 includes a first section 1141 and a second section 1142, one end of the first section 1141 is connected to the bottom of the guide hole 1121, and the first section 1141 is inclined downward away from the direction of the ice outlet channel 111; one end of the second section 1142 is connected to the other end of the first section 1141, and the other end of the second section 1142 is connected to the top of the guide hole 1121.

[0038] Exemplarily, the first section 1141 extends approximately horizontally, while the second section 1142 extends approximately vertically, and the two sections are connected to form an inverted "7"-shaped structure to form an inner concave space 1143 for accommodating unmelted small ice cubes and ice debris. In order to prevent the water generated after melting from accumulating in the inner concave space 1143, the first section 1141 is arranged to be tilted downward to facilitate the water flow out of the guide hole 1121.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, guide ribs are provided on both sides of the first side wall 112 , the guide ribs extend along the ice outlet direction of the ice outlet channel 111 , and the two guide ribs are respectively located on both sides of the guide hole 1121 .

[0040] It can be understood that the guide ribs extend from the entrance of the ice outlet channel 111 to the guide hole 1121 to guide the melted water to flow to the guide hole 1121. In other words, the two guide ribs are used to stop the melted water, so that the melted water flows down between the two guide ribs and then flows into the guide hole 1121, so as to prevent the melted water from flowing to other walls of the ice outlet channel 111 and failing to flow into the guide hole 1121. Optionally, the guide hole 1121 extends from one of the guide ribs to the direction of the other guide rib to ensure that the melted water between the two guide ribs can flow into the guide hole 1121.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the ice outlet 11 is provided with a guide plate 113, and the guide plate 113 is located below the guide hole 1121. It can be understood that after the ice melt water flows out through the guide hole 1121, it will drip from the bottom of the guide hole 1121. In order to ensure that the water flows to the designated area, the guide plate 113 receives the water passing through the guide hole 1121 and guides it to the designated area, which is convenient for centralized treatment and drainage. Exemplarily, the guide plate 113 is connected to the outer wall of the ice outlet 11, and the guide plate 113 can be inclined to facilitate the natural flow of water. For example, a water receiving trough or a water receiving box is provided at the end of the guide plate 113, so as to prevent water from flowing to the live parts and causing damage. Optionally, both sides of the guide plate 113 are provided with a stopper plate to prevent water from flowing out from the side of the guide plate 113, that is, the water can only flow out from the end of the guide plate 113, so as to flow to the designated area. Optionally, the guide plate 113 and the ice outlet nozzle 11 may be connected by bonding, welding, clamping or threaded connection. Of course, in other embodiments, the guide plate 113 may also be an integrally formed structure with the ice outlet nozzle 11, which is not limited here.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice maker includes a support plate 3, which is used to support the ice making assembly 2. The upper surface of the support plate 3 is concave to form a water collecting tank 31. One end of the guide plate 113 is connected to the outer wall of the ice outlet nozzle 11, and the other end extends toward the top of the water collecting tank 31.

[0043] It can be understood that the guide plate 113 can be extended obliquely toward the direction of the support plate 3, and the water flow is more accurately guided and is not easy to flow to other non-drainage areas. In other words, the ice debris or condensed water on the inner wall of the ice outlet channel 111 can flow to the top of the water collection tank 31 through the guide hole 1121. In this way, these ice debris or condensed water flows into the water collection tank 31, and will not drip to the outside through the ice outlet nozzle 11, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of water leakage in the ice maker and improve the user experience. In one embodiment, the guide plate 113 can be connected to the outer wall of the ice making assembly 2, and a water flow gap is formed between the end of the guide plate 113 and the ice making assembly 2. The water flowing out from the guide hole 1121 is guided by the guide plate 113, flows to the outer wall of the ice making assembly 2, and flows downward along the outer wall of the ice making assembly 2, thereby flowing into the water collection tank 31 of the support plate 3 below. The direction of the water flow is controllable, which is convenient for collecting and draining.

[0044] The support plate 3 is placed under the ice-making assembly 2. When the ice-making assembly 2 generates condensed water during the ice-making process, the condensed water will flow to the support plate 3 and collect in the water collecting tank 31. Alternatively, when the ice-making assembly 2 uses a water tank to supply water for ice-making, overflow water due to failure of liquid level control will also flow into the water collecting tank 31 and be discharged to a designated area through the overflow hole, thereby preventing the overflow water from contacting live parts and causing damage.

[0045] It is understandable that when the ice-making component 2 is making or storing ice, condensed water is easily generated on its outer wall, and the flow direction of the condensed water is not controllable. Even if the ice-making machine is provided with a drainage system, the condensed water is not easy to flow to the designated drainage position. For this reason, the support plate 3 located below the ice-making component 2 can receive the dripping condensed water, collect the condensed water in the water collection tank 31, and drain it to the designated area through the overflow hole. At the same time, the support plate 3 can also support the ice-making component 2 to improve the installation stability. The ice-making component 2 includes but is not limited to a water tank and an ice storage component. It is understandable that the water tank is used to store water for ice-making. When the water tank liquid level control fails to generate overflow, the overflow direction is uncontrollable, and the water collection tank 31 on the support plate 3 can receive the overflow to discharge it to the overflow hole.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support plate 3 is further provided with an overflow groove, and the upper surface of the support plate 3 is concave to form an overflow notch, the overflow notch connects the water collecting tank 31 and the overflow groove, and the overflow hole is provided on the bottom wall of the overflow groove.

[0047] It can be understood that the locations where condensed water is generated by the refrigeration assembly are widely distributed. By setting the water collecting trough 31 and the overflow trough to increase the water collecting area of ​​the support plate 3, it is ensured that the water flow is collected in the water collecting trough 31 and the overflow trough instead of flowing to other charged parts. In this way, the water collecting trough 31 can correspond to the position below where condensed water is easily generated. At the same time, the water collecting trough 31 can also be set to cover a larger area of ​​the support plate 3, such as being set in the middle of the support plate 3, so as to better collect condensed water, and the overflow trough can be set in a position that is convenient for drainage, such as the edge of the support plate 3. When the condensed water drips into the water collecting trough 31 and the amount of water is small, it can be evaporated by the heat generating device (compressor, hot tank, etc.) of the ice maker. At this time, there is no need to drain water through the overflow hole. The water collecting trough 31 plays a role in collecting water to prevent water from flowing to other charged parts. If the amount of water is large, for example, after the water tank overflows, the water in the water collecting tank 31 becomes more and more, the water flows through the overflow gap to the overflow tank, and then is discharged through the overflow hole in the overflow tank, so as to drain the water in time and avoid the overflow water filling the water collecting tank 31 and flowing to other live parts.

[0048] like Figure 2As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice outlet channel 111 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet is used to connect to the ice storage area 21, the outlet is used to connect to the outside, and the size of the outlet is larger than the size of the inlet. Exemplarily, the inlet and outlet of the ice outlet channel 111 are both square, and the side length of the outlet should be larger than the side length of the inlet, so as to avoid the ice jam phenomenon in which the ice cubes cannot be discharged from the outlet after entering the ice outlet channel 111. For example, the height of the inlet in this example is 40mm, and the minimum size of the outlet is 44mm. Exemplarily, when the inlet and outlet of the ice outlet channel 111 are both circular, the diameter of the outlet is larger than the diameter of the inlet, and the shapes of the inlet and outlet are not limited here. It should be noted that the size of the outlet larger than the inlet means that the ice cubes can pass through the inlet and the outlet, so as to avoid the situation that the ice cubes can pass through the inlet but not the outlet.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various combinations, modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
