[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 7 An ice-making device shown in the figure comprises a shell 1, wherein the shell 1 is provided with a transfer device 200 and an ice-discharging device 300, and the shell 1 also comprises a container 101 located at the lower side of the transfer device 200, wherein the transfer device 200 comprises a guide device 700 for receiving buffered ice cubes, and a rotating disk 5 capable of driving ice cubes to be transferred to the ice-discharging device 300, wherein the rotating disk 5 is provided with an ice-receiving cavity 21 connected to the guide device 7 and for ice cubes to enter, and a screening opening 22 communicating with the ice-receiving cavity 21 and the container 101, and the ice-discharging device 300 is provided with an ice-discharging cavity body 31 communicating with the ice-receiving cavity 21, and the diameter of the ice-discharging cavity body 31 on the side close to the ice-receiving cavity 21 is larger than the diameter of the screening opening 22. The present invention can mitigate the impact force of ice cubes on the rotating disk or between ice cubes by arranging an ice guiding device, thereby reducing the risk of ice cubes breaking. After the ice cubes enter the ice cube accommodating chamber, the size of the screening opening is limited, so that the ice cubes that meet the specifications can be screened out before entering the ice discharging cavity. The ice cubes on the ice discharging mechanism are more uniform and complete, avoiding the tedious process of manual screening of ice cubes due to different sizes, thereby improving the ice discharging efficiency.

[0044] Specifically, during the movement of ice cubes from the transfer device to the ice discharging device, since the diameter of the ice discharging cavity near the ice cube accommodating cavity is larger than the diameter of the screening opening, the ice cubes with larger size and integrity can pass through the screening opening smoothly and remain in the ice cube accommodating cavity, and then enter the ice discharging cavity along with the transfer device. The small ice cubes formed by collision and fragmentation during the previous ice generation and transfer process will fall through the screening opening into the container 101 that can collect small ice cubes, thereby effectively realizing the screening of ice cube sizes. Specifically, the container is a water storage tank located in the shell that supplies water to the ice-making mechanism, which can reduce the waste of water resources. In addition, the rotating disk 5 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the rotating disk 5 rotates around the horizontal axis. The ice cube accommodating cavity 21 and the screening opening 22 are respectively provided with multiple and one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, the rotating disk is arranged in the vertical direction, and the horizontal axis passes through the center of the rotating disk and is parallel to the horizontal plane. The rotating disk is driven by the power device to rotate around the horizontal axis, thereby reducing unnecessary space occupation.

[0045] Embodiment 2: Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 2 to 6 In the ice-making device shown, the bottom height of the rotating disk 5 is lower than the bottom height of the ice-discharging cavity 31 on the side close to the ice-receiving cavity 21. When the ice-receiving cavity 21 is connected to the ice-discharging cavity 31, the first connecting plate 51 is used to guide the ice, and the angle between the first connecting plate 51 and the horizontal plane is 15-60 degrees. Further, the angle of 15-60 degrees formed by the first connecting plate and the horizontal plane reduces the impact force of the ice during the transmission process and reduces the risk of the ice being broken due to collision, which helps to maintain the integrity of the ice and improve the quality of ice. Specifically, the inclination angle of 15 degrees can make the ice slide at a relatively slow speed, while the larger angle of 60 degrees can make the ice enter the ice-discharging cavity more efficiently when it needs to be transferred quickly. Specifically, since the bottom height of the rotating disk is lower than the bottom height of the ice-discharging cavity on the side close to the ice-receiving cavity, the ice is transported to the ice-discharging cavity from bottom to top, and small ice can pass through the screening opening more easily during the rotation process. In some embodiments, the angle between the first connecting plate 51 and the horizontal plane is 60 degrees. In some other embodiments, the angle between the first connecting plate 51 and the horizontal plane is 15 degrees.

[0046] Embodiment 3: The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2 is that: the angle between the first connecting plate 51 and the horizontal plane is 25 degrees.

[0047] Embodiment 4: The difference between Embodiment 4 and Embodiment 2 is that: the angle between the first connecting plate 51 and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees.

[0048] Embodiment 5: Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 5 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 2 to 7In the ice-making device shown, the rotating disk 5 is provided with a plurality of first connecting plates 51, two adjacent first connecting plates 51 enclose the ice cube accommodating chamber 21, the first connecting plates 51 are arranged obliquely, the bottom of the ice cube accommodating chamber 21 is L-shaped, and the screening opening 22 is located on the side close to the entrance of the ice cube accommodating chamber 21. Further, the first connecting plates are arranged obliquely and enclose the ice cube accommodating chamber, and during the rotation of the rotating disk, the inclined first connecting plates can make the ice cubes in a relatively stable position in the ice cube accommodating chamber. When the ice cubes enter the ice cube accommodating chamber from the ice-making area, the inclined surface can guide the ice cubes to slide smoothly into the appropriate position to prevent the ice cubes from being stuck at the entrance of the ice cube accommodating chamber. At the same time, during the rotation process, the inclined design helps to prevent multiple ice cubes from piling up in the ice cube accommodating chamber. Specifically, if the first connecting plate is horizontal, the ice cubes are easily squeezed and overlapped in the accommodating chamber, causing the ice cubes to break prematurely during the transfer process or affecting the accuracy of screening. The inclined setting can make the ice cubes have a certain tendency to guide and slide in the ice cube accommodating chamber. When multiple ice cubes enter the ice cube accommodating chamber at the same time, the squeezed ice cubes will be separated from the ice cube accommodating chamber under the guidance of the first connecting plate, ensuring that each ice cube can pass through the screening opening independently, thereby improving the screening efficiency and the stability of ice cube transfer. Furthermore, the L-shaped bottom of the ice cube accommodating chamber increases the stability of the ice cubes in the ice cube accommodating chamber. When the ice cubes are placed in the ice cube accommodating chamber, their bottom contacts the two surfaces of the L-shaped structure, forming a more stable support structure, reducing the risk of shaking and sliding of the ice cubes during the transfer process. The L-shaped bottom of the ice cube accommodating chamber can provide sufficient space for the ice cubes to stay and move. Specifically, due to the design of the L-shaped bottom, the ice cubes are better supported and protected in the ice cube accommodating chamber, reducing the risk of breakage caused by collision or squeezing during the transfer and screening process. At the same time, the design of the screening opening away from the entrance of the ice cube accommodating chamber prevents ice cubes from getting stuck in the screening opening when they quickly enter the ice cube accommodating chamber, and ice cubes partially located outside the ice cube accommodating chamber will block the transfer device. Of course, the bottom of the ice cube accommodating chamber 21 can be in a straight line shape or in a ring shape to accommodate ice cubes of different sizes.

[0049] Embodiment 6: Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 6 also has the following implementation methods: like Figures 4 to 7In the ice-making device shown in the figure, the transfer device 200 further includes a support frame 6 located outside the rotating disk 5, the support frame 6 is provided with a support frame opening 61 connected to the screening opening 22, and a baffle 62 near the entrance of the ice cube accommodating chamber 21, and the screening opening 22 is located on the upper side of the support frame opening 61. Specifically, the connection between the support frame opening and the screening opening provides a smoother transfer path for the ice cubes. Driven by the rotating disk, the ice cubes can more easily enter the support frame opening through the screening opening and then be transported to the container. Further, the screening opening is located on the upper side of the support frame opening, so that the small ice cubes can smoothly fall into the support frame opening along a straight line under the action of gravity when passing through the screening opening, and the small ice cubes will not contact other ice cube accommodating chambers during the falling process, and the small ice cubes will not cause the rotating disk to jam, and there is no need to set other components on the rotating disk for the ice cubes to pass through and move, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the ice cubes and reducing the ice discharge delay caused by ice cube jamming or stagnation. Furthermore, the support frame 6 is provided with a support frame guide portion 63 located between the screening opening 22 and the support frame opening 61, and the support frame guide portion 63 is inclined. Furthermore, the inclined support frame guide portion provides a smoother and more natural transfer path for the ice cubes. Optionally, in some embodiments, the support frame guide portion may be arranged on one side of the support frame opening, or may be arranged on both sides of the support frame opening. In addition, when the rotating disk rotates, some ice cubes will be stuck in the screening opening. When the screening opening is staggered with the support frame opening, the support frame guide portion can support the ice cubes extending into the screening opening, so that the ice cubes contact the inclined support frame guide portion during the rotation process and slowly slide upward to the bottom of the ice cube accommodating cavity. When the ice cubes move to the ice outlet cavity, they can slide down under the action of the inclined first connecting plate.

[0050] Embodiment 7, based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 7 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 2 to 7An ice-making device is shown, wherein the guide device 700 includes a guide platform 70 near the entrance of the ice-receiving chamber 21, and a guide baffle 72 for buffering ice cubes to the guide platform 70, wherein the guide platform 70 is provided with a guide surface 71 gradually inclined from top to bottom, and the bottom of the guide platform 70 is higher than or flush with the bottom of the ice-receiving chamber 21. Further, the guide platform and its inclined guide surface provide a smooth and natural transition area for the ice cubes. Further, the guide baffle is hinged on the guide baffle driving device 721, and when the guide baffle moves toward the ice-making mechanism, it can reduce the impact force of the ice cubes falling directly through its contact surface, and further reduce the ice cubes from breaking due to collisions between ice cubes. Specifically, the bottom of the guide platform is higher than or flush with the bottom of the ice-receiving chamber, and when the ice cubes slide down along the guide surface, the speed at which they enter the ice-receiving chamber is relatively slow, ensuring that the ice cubes can be placed smoothly when entering the chamber, and reducing the ice cubes from being stuck outside the chamber due to height differences. In some other embodiments, the guide device 700 includes a guide baffle 72 for buffering ice cubes to the guide platform 70. The guide baffle is hinged on the guide baffle device 721. When the guide baffle moves toward the ice-making mechanism, it can reduce the impact force of the ice cubes falling directly through its contact surface, and further reduce the ice cubes from breaking due to collisions between ice cubes. In addition, an elastic member such as a torsion spring is provided on the guide baffle 72. When the ice cubes hit the guide baffle to rotate, the torsion spring will be compressed and drive the guide baffle to reset. When the ice cubes press the guide baffle too hard and make it unable to reset, the contact mechanism on the guide baffle device continuously detects that the guide baffle is no longer reset, and the contact mechanism will send a command to stop ice making or send a signal to notify the user.

[0051] Embodiment 8: Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 8 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 8 to 13 An ice-making device shown in the figure also includes an ice-making mechanism 100 and a driving mechanism 23 for driving the ice-making mechanism 100 to open or close. The ice-making mechanism 100 includes a first mold shell 25, a second mold shell 26, and an ice-making cavity 223 formed by the first mold shell 25 and the second mold shell 26. The driving mechanism 23 includes a rotating shaft 27 connected to the first mold shell 25 and the second mold shell 26, a rotating part 281 connected to the second mold shell 26, and a power source 282 for driving the rotating part 281 to rotate. Specifically, the ice-making mechanism is arranged in the vertical direction. When ice making is needed, the second mold shell is tightly closed with the first mold shell, and the liquid water in the ice-making cavity is turned into solid ice under the action of the refrigeration component. When the ice cubes are demolded, the rotating part is driven by the power source to drive the second mold shell to rotate relative to the first mold shell, so that the ice-making cavity is opened. The ice cubes move downward to the ice guide device under the action of gravity, and the power source drives the rotating part to drive the second mold shell to rotate relative to the first mold shell until they are tightly closed. The above operations are repeated to realize automatic ice making.

[0052] Embodiment 9: Based on Embodiment 8, Embodiment 9 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 8 to 13An ice-making device is shown, wherein the ice-making mechanism 100 is provided with a deformation mechanism 24 connected to the driving mechanism 23, the second mold shell 26 is provided with a sliding groove 261 and cooperates with the deformation mechanism 24, the deformation mechanism 24 includes a connecting column 241 connected to the rotating part 281 and extending into the sliding groove 261, the connecting column 241 is provided with a deformation part 2411 abutting against one side of the sliding groove 261, a deformation gap 2413 is provided between the other side of the deformation part 2411 and the other side of the sliding groove 261, and the deformation part 2411 is elastic and abuts against the side of the sliding groove 261 facing the closing direction. Specifically, by providing a deformation mechanism, when the ice-making mold is closed, the elasticity of the second mold shell is used to drive the second mold shell to close in the direction of the first mold shell, which can greatly improve the sealing during the closing process, effectively prevent liquid from leaking from the gap of the ice-making mold, and ensure the stability and reliability of the ice-making process. Optionally, in some embodiments, the power source includes a motor, a cylinder and other devices. Specifically, the design of the sliding groove provides a certain activity space for the deformation mechanism and can limit the activity position of the deformation mechanism. When the deformation mechanism pushes the second mold shell, it can transmit force in one direction, which helps to reduce the loss and dispersion of force in the transmission process and improve the mold closing efficiency. At the same time, the guiding effect of the sliding groove can also ensure that the deformation mechanism will not deviate from the predetermined direction during the pushing process, thereby maintaining the accuracy and consistency of the mold closing. The setting of the sliding groove enables the deformation mechanism to produce smooth and continuous movement when pushing the second mold shell, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of operation. Further, when the connecting column is installed in the sliding groove, if the connecting column is not squeezed, the deformation part does not produce elastic deformation. When the rotating part is connected to the power source and is in the state of being centered on the second mold shell to be closed, the connecting column extends into the connecting column, and the deformation part abuts against the sliding groove. The sliding groove gives the deformation part a force to move in the direction of the deformation gap, and the elastic deformation of the deformation part drives the connecting column to drive the rotating part to press the second mold shell in the closing direction. Specifically, when the power source drives the second mold shell to rotate, the rotating part uses the deformation part to abut against the sliding groove through the connecting column, and the deformation part drives the second mold shell to rotate through the sliding groove. During the ice making process, when the second mold shell is gradually closed, the deformation part abuts against the sliding groove under the drive of the power source and squeezes the sliding groove in the closing direction, thereby pushing the second mold shell to fit the first mold shell more closely. Specifically, the deformation part is made of elastic material and has good wear resistance and fatigue resistance. Optionally, in some embodiments, the deformation part is made of plastic material. The side of the deformation part 2411 abutting against the sliding groove 261 is arranged in an arc shape, and the inner diameter of the sliding groove 261 is larger than the diameter width of the deformation part 2411. Furthermore, better surface contact is achieved between the arc-shaped deformation part and the sliding groove.During the mold closing process, when the deformable part is pressed against the sliding groove by the force of the driving mechanism, the arc surface can better fit the shape of the sliding groove, thereby evenly distributing the sealing pressure at different contact points. Specifically, when the second mold shell needs to rotate, the arc-shaped deformable part can slide and deform more smoothly along the sliding groove, thereby ensuring that the second mold shell can fit the first mold shell tightly and evenly. Specifically, the inner diameter of the sliding groove is larger than the diameter width of the deformable part, and the deformable part can maintain a certain gap with the other side of the sliding groove during the sliding process, thereby reducing friction and wear, and also allowing the elastic deformation of the deformable part to push the sliding groove to move in the closing direction. The rotating part 281 is provided with an extension part 2811, and the driving mechanism 23 includes a first position detection mechanism 233 and a second position detection mechanism 234 respectively connected to the housing 1, the first position detection mechanism 233 is provided with a first detection end 2331 cooperating with the extension part 2811 to detect the rotation position, and the second position detection mechanism 234 is provided with a second detection end 2341 cooperating with the extension part 2811 to detect the rotation position. Furthermore, by providing an extension part and cooperating with the first detection end and the second detection end in the first position detection mechanism and the second position detection mechanism respectively, the rotation position of the rotating part can be accurately detected whether the ice-making mold is opened or closed. It helps to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the ice-making device during the mold closing process, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of ice making. Optionally, in some embodiments, the first detection end and the second detection end can be a contact travel switch, a photoelectric detection device, an infrared detection device, etc. Optionally, in some embodiments, the first position detection mechanism can detect the position of the second mold shell during mold closing, and the second position detection mechanism can detect the position of the second mold shell during demolding. When the second mold shell 26 is in a closed state, the sliding groove 261 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the extension part 2811 is arranged in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the sliding groove is arranged in the vertical direction, and the extension part is arranged in the horizontal direction. This layout method can more effectively utilize the space inside the ice-making device. It avoids the sliding groove and the extension part occupying too much space in the same direction, thereby improving the compactness and integration of the entire device. The ice-making device is further miniaturized, lightweight, and space utilization is improved. Specifically, since the extension part is arranged in the horizontal direction, the first detection end of the first stroke mechanism and the second detection end of the second stroke mechanism can more conveniently obtain the position information in the horizontal direction when detecting their rotational positions. The stable guiding and supporting function and the accurate rotational position detection help to ensure the close fit and uniform force of the mold during the ice making process. This helps to reduce ice making quality problems caused by mold gaps or uneven force, such as irregular ice shapes and uneven surfaces.The extension part 2811 is located on one side of the rotating part 281, the connecting column 241 is located on the side of the rotating part 281 facing the sliding groove 261, the rotating part 281 is provided with a keyway 2812 that cooperates with the power source 282, the housing 1 is provided with a protruding fixed column 111, the power source 282 is provided with a limiting shell 2821 with one end fixed on the fixed column 111, and a motor connected between the limiting shell 2821 and the keyway 2812. Furthermore, the extension part is located on one side of the rotating part, and the connecting column is located on the side of the rotating part facing the sliding groove. This layout enables the rotating part to efficiently connect and drive the connecting column in the sliding groove while maintaining the compactness of the structure. The arrangement of the keyway, the fixed column, the limiting shell and the motor makes the entire ice-making device more compact and easy to install while maintaining high performance. The deformation mechanism 24 includes an elastic member 242 disposed on the rotating shaft 27, and the elastic member 242 passes through the rotating shaft 27 to drive the second mold shell 26 to tighten toward the first mold shell 25. Further, the elastic member provides a continuous tightening force for the second mold shell through the rotating shaft, ensuring the close fit between the second mold shell and the first mold shell during the ice making process, which helps to prevent water from seeping out of the mold gap, thereby improving ice making efficiency and ice quality. The first mold shell 25 is provided with a first mold shell connecting hole 251, and the second mold shell 26 is provided with a second mold shell connecting hole 262. The rotating shaft 27 passes through the first mold shell connecting hole 251 and the second mold shell connecting hole 261. The elastic member 242 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 27, and the elastic member 242 is a torsion spring. Further, the rotating shaft passes through the first mold shell connecting hole and the second mold shell connecting hole to firmly connect the two mold shells together, which helps to maintain the stability of the mold during the ice making process and prevent the mold from being dislocated due to uneven force or vibration, thereby ensuring ice making quality and efficiency. Specifically, the torsion spring is an elastic member sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft, which can provide continuous tightening force for the second mold shell during the mold closing process, ensuring a close fit between the second mold shell and the first mold shell, preventing water from seeping out of the mold gap, and improving ice making efficiency and ice cube quality.

[0053] Embodiment 10: Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 10 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 14 to 16An ice-making device is shown, wherein the housing 1 is further provided with a power device 400 for driving the rotating disk 5 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions, and a limiting mechanism 500 movably arranged and used to limit the rotation direction of the power device 400, the power device 400 or the rotating disk 5 is provided with a plurality of abutting portions 341, the abutting portion 341 is provided with a guide end 3411 cooperating with one side of the limiting mechanism 500, and a clamping end 3412 abutting with the other side of the limiting mechanism 500, the power device 400 includes a connecting shaft 36 connected to the rotating disk 5, a driving portion 37 connected to the connecting shaft 36, a plurality of abutting portions 341 are provided and are evenly arranged, the limiting mechanism 500 includes a limiting member 351 in contact with the abutting portion 341, and an elastic body 352 connected to the limiting member 351, and the elastic body 352 is used to drive the limiting member 351 to reset toward the abutting portion 341. When encountering ice cube jamming, traditional ice-making devices often require manual intervention or forced rotation, which may cause the power device to overload or even be damaged. However, the present invention avoids the power device from being subjected to excessive force for a long time through automatic reverse rotation and cyclic attempts, effectively protects the power device, and prolongs the service life of the machine. The automatic anti-jamming and cyclic attempt mechanism can quickly respond to the jamming of ice cubes, and through multiple attempts to send ice cubes into the ice cube accommodating chamber or disengage them from the jamming position, thereby reducing the ice-making interruption time caused by ice cube jamming and improving the overall ice-making efficiency. In addition, in some embodiments, in order to reduce the repeated collision of ice cubes with both sides of the rotating disk during the cycle of forward and reverse rotation of the rotating disk, the present invention drives the power device to respond to the conversion to forward rotation by abutting and engaging the abutting portion with the jamming end, thereby replacing the collision and jamming of ice cubes with the rotating disk to drive the power device to respond to the conversion to forward rotation, thereby reducing the damage to the rotating disk. Optionally, in some embodiments, a controller connected to the power device is included, and when the current of the power device rotating in the forward direction is greater than a threshold value, the controller drives the power device to rotate in the reverse direction, and when the current of the power device rotating in the reverse direction is greater than a threshold value, the controller drives the power device to rotate in the forward direction to form a cycle. Optionally, in some embodiments, when the angles of the power device rotating in the forward direction and in the reverse direction are small, the power device continuously cycles the forward and reverse rotations to form a vibration or shaking effect, which can quickly make the ice cubes leave the entrance of the rotating disk or enter the ice cube receiving chamber.Furthermore, when the driving unit drives the rotating disk to move forward through the connecting shaft, the guide end will squeeze the limit piece, causing the limit piece to move away from the abutment portion. When the limit piece is disengaged from the guide end, the elastic body drives the limit piece to automatically reset, and the abutment portion continues to rotate with the driving unit or rotates with the rotating disk and contacts the guide end again. When the ice cube is engaged at the entrance of the rotating disk, the power device drives the rotating disk to move in the opposite direction, and the elastic body pushes the limit piece to abut against the engaging end. At this time, the rotating disk cannot move in the opposite direction, and the power device drives the rotating disk to move forward again. The ice cube is still engaged at the entrance of the rotating disk, and the rotating disk cannot move forward. The power device drives the rotating disk to move in the opposite direction again to form a cycle. The automatic reset mechanism ensures the continuity and stability of the limit mechanism during the forward and reverse rotation of the power device.

[0054] Embodiment 11: Based on Embodiment 10, Embodiment 11 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 14 to 16 In the ice-making device shown, the abutment portion 341 is axially arranged on the outside of the connecting shaft 36, and the abutment portion 341 is in the shape of a latching tooth. The moving direction of the limiter 351 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting shaft 36. Furthermore, the abutment portion is axially arranged on the outside of the connecting shaft, so that when the power device is running, the torque can be effectively transmitted to the abutment portion along the axial direction of the connecting shaft, and then act on the limit mechanism to achieve precise control of the rotation direction of the rotating disk. The force transmission path is more direct and efficient, reducing the loss and dispersion of force during the transmission process. The latching tooth-shaped abutment portion, its latching end can provide a latching function, and also enhance the strength and stability of the structure. When subjected to external force, the latching teeth can disperse stress and reduce deformation or damage caused by stress concentration.

[0055] Embodiment 12: Based on Embodiment 11, Embodiment 12 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 14 to 16An ice-making device is shown, wherein the limiting member 351 is provided with a first contact surface 3511, the guide end 3411 is provided with a guide surface 34111 matched with the first contact surface 3511, the limiting member 351 is provided with a first limiting surface 3512 on a side away from the first contact surface 3511, the engaging end 3412 is provided with a second contact surface 34121 in contact with the first limiting surface 3512, and the guide surface 34111 and the second contact surface 34121 are arranged in a V-shape. Furthermore, the cooperation between the guide surface and the first contact surface ensures that when the power device drives the rotating disk to rotate, the limiting member can avoid the abutment portion along the guide surface. The guide surface reduces the jamming and friction of the limiting member during movement, and in the normal forward movement of the power device, the setting of the limiting member will not affect the smoothness of the rotation of the rotating disk. Further, the contact between the first limit surface and the second contact surface ensures that when the power device drives the rotating disk to rotate in the opposite direction, the engaging end of the abutment portion can accurately contact the first limit surface of the limiter and produce an engaging effect. Optionally, in some embodiments, the contact between the first limit surface and the second contact surface can effectively prevent the rotating disk from rotating excessively. Since the abutment portion is provided with multiple, the first limit surface and the second contact surface can reasonably disperse and transmit the force, avoiding the overload force from being concentrated on a certain fragile component and causing damage to it. Optionally, in some embodiments, the limiter is made of metal material, and the limiter can maintain a stable shape and position when subjected to a large force or torque, thereby avoiding failure caused by structural deformation. During the forward and reverse cycle, the angle and position of each reversal of the rotating disk can be effectively controlled. Further, the cooperation between the V-shaped connecting guide surface and the second contact surface can provide a precise guiding effect, ensuring that the rotating disk can accurately move along the predetermined path during the rotation process. It helps to reduce the engagement or damage caused by directional deviation. Specifically, the force on the V-shaped guide surface and the second contact surface is more concentrated, and rapid forward and reverse rotation can be achieved through the rotation of the abutment portion, without the need for the abutment portion to move an additional distance, thereby reducing the timing of forward and reverse rotation. The V-shaped structure is conducive to the transmission and decomposition of force. When the power device applies torque to rotate the rotating disk, the force between the abutment portion and the limiter will be decomposed along the two surfaces of the V-shape, which helps to optimize the force distribution. It can reduce wear and deformation caused by uneven force and extend the service life of the limit mechanism and the rotating disk. Optionally, in some embodiments, the moving distance of the abutment portion becomes smaller. When the angles of the forward and reverse rotations of the power device are small, the power device continuously cycles the forward and reverse rotations to form a vibration or shaking effect, which can quickly make the ice cubes leave the entrance of the rotating disk or enter the ice cube holding cavity.The guide surface 4111 is arranged in an arc surface, the first contact surface 511 is an inclined surface, the second contact surface 4121 is arranged in a straight surface, the first contact surface 511 is arranged in an inclined direction from away from the abutment portion 41 to close to the abutment portion 41 and from top to bottom, and the first limiting surface 512 is arranged in a straight shape and is parallel to the extension direction of the limiting member 51. Further, the guide surface is arranged in an arc surface to provide a smooth transition and guidance, and reduce the resistance and friction of the rotating disk during the movement. The arc surface guidance helps to ensure that the rotating disk can move smoothly along the predetermined path during the rotation process to avoid jamming or jumping. In addition, the first contact surface is designed as an inclined surface, and is arranged in an inclined direction from away from the abutment portion to close to the abutment portion and from top to bottom. The first contact surface is arranged in an inclined direction from away from the abutment portion to close to the abutment portion and from top to bottom. In this way, during the contact between the abutment portion and the limiting member, the transmitted force will be decomposed along the inclined surface, which helps to reduce the impact and vibration caused by sudden engagement. Specifically, the second contact surface is arranged in a straight manner, and the cooperation with the first limiting surface arranged in a straight manner can provide a stable contact surface, ensuring stability and reliability after engagement. Direct contact helps to reduce wear and deformation caused by insufficient contact area. Specifically, the first limiting surface is arranged in a straight manner and is parallel to the extension direction of the limiting member. This design can provide stable support and limiting effects, and enhance structural strength and stability. The straight limiting surface helps to prevent deformation or damage caused by uneven force. The limiting mechanism 500 includes a limiting shell 353 connected to the shell 1, and the limiting shell 353 is provided with a limiting shell accommodating cavity 3531 for accommodating the limiting member 351 and the elastic body 352, and the elastic body 352 is respectively abutted against the limiting member 351 and the inner wall of the limiting shell accommodating cavity 3531, and the shell 1 is provided with a shell extension end 311 extending outward, one end of the driving part 37 is connected to the shell extension end 311, and the limiting shell 353 is located between the driving part 37 and the shell 1.

[0056] Embodiment 13: Based on Embodiment 11, Embodiment 13 also has the following implementation methods: Figures 17 to 19In the ice-making device shown, the abutment portion 341 is axially arranged on the inner side of the rotating disk 5. When the rotating disk 5 rotates, the abutment portion 341 drives the limiter 351 to move away from the rotating disk 5 through the guide end 3411. When the limiter 351 is reset, it moves toward the rotating disk 5. Furthermore, the abutment portion is axially arranged on the inner side of the rotating disk, which makes full use of the space inside the rotating disk and makes the whole structure more compact. When the rotating disk rotates, the force is transmitted to the inner abutment portion along the axial direction, and the limiter can move smoothly along the path of the guide end. Optionally, in some embodiments, the abutment portion can move along a straight line or rotate around an axis. Specifically, when the abutting part moves in a straight line, the first contact surface 3511 is an inclined surface, the guide surface 34111 is arranged in a straight surface, the second contact surface 34121 is arranged in a straight surface, the first contact surface 3511 is arranged from away from the abutting part 341 to close to the abutting part 341 and inclined from top to bottom, and the first limiting surface 3512 is arranged in a straight shape and parallel to the extension direction of the limiting member 351. The elastic body 352 pushes the abutting part to move in the direction of the rotating disk. When the guide surface contacts the first contact surface, the abutting part avoids the rotating disk. When the rotating disk rotates in the opposite direction, the two second contact surfaces arranged in a straight surface abut against the first limiting surface, so that the abutting part and the limiting member are engaged. The limiting member 351 is provided with a fixed shaft 354, the elastic body 352 is connected to the fixed shaft 354, the limiting member 351 rotates around the fixed shaft 354, and the fixed shaft 354 is arranged in a vertical direction. The guide surface 34111 is arranged in a straight shape, the first contact surface 3511 is an inclined surface, the second contact surface 34121 is arranged in a straight surface, the first contact surface 3511 is arranged in an inclined direction from away from the abutment portion 341 to close to the abutment portion 341, the first contact surface 3511 faces the guide surface 34111, and the first limiting surface 3512 is arranged in an arc shape and convex to the second contact surface 34121. Furthermore, the limiting member rotates around the fixed axis through the elastic body, so that the limiting member can automatically return to the initial position when not affected by external force. At the same time, when the rotating disk rotates and pushes the abutment portion, the limiting member can be compressed or rotated to adapt to the movement of the rotating disk. Once the external force disappears, the limiting member will be reset under the action of the elastic body and will contact the abutment portion again. Therefore, when the rotating disk moves normally in the forward direction, the limiting member will not affect the smoothness of the rotating disk. Optionally, in some embodiments, the abutment portion is a straight structure, and the guide surface and the second contact surface are respectively located on both sides of the abutment portion and close to the direction of the connecting axis. Since the first contact surface is inclined, when the rotating disk rotates forward, the guide surface moves toward the first contact surface and contacts the first contact surface, and the limit member avoids the guide surface and rotates away from the rotating disk. When the guide surface is separated from the first contact surface, the limit member will be reset under the action of the elastomer, and the guide surface will contact the first contact surface again.Optionally, in some embodiments, when the rotating disk rotates in the opposite direction, when the second contact surface moves toward the direction of the limiter, the first limiter surface is arranged in an arc shape and convex to the second contact surface, and the second contact surface is arranged in a straight shape. When the second contact surface contacts the first limiter surface, it will push the limiter to continue to move in the direction of the accommodating cavity. Since the elastic body is already connected to the fixed shaft, this will cause the limiter to be unable to move further, thereby causing the second contact surface to abut against the first limiter surface. The driving device drives the rotating disk to rotate in the positive direction, and the guide surface moves in the direction of the first contact surface and contacts the first contact surface. Optionally, in some embodiments, the limiter is provided with a limiter positioning portion abutting against the shell, and the shell is provided with a shell opening for the limiter to extend into. When the second contact surface contacts the first limiter surface, when the limiter is pushed to continue to move in the direction of the accommodating cavity, the limiter positioning portion located outside the shell opening will abut against the shell, thereby limiting the limiter from continuing to move.

[0057] Embodiment 14: Embodiment 14 is based on Embodiment 8 and further has the following implementation methods: Figure 20 to Figure 26An ice-making device is shown, the ice-making mechanism 100 includes a water tank 43 connected to the first mold shell 25, the water tank 43 is provided with a water tank cavity 436, a heat-conducting component 47 extending from the water tank cavity 436 into the ice-making cavity 223, the heat-conducting component 47 is provided with a water inlet cavity 471 connecting the ice-making cavity 223 and the water tank cavity 46, and a heat-conducting end 472 for preventing the water inlet cavity 471 from being blocked by ice, the heat-conducting end 472 includes a heat-conducting member 48, the heat-conducting member 48 extends from the water tank cavity 436 into the water inlet cavity 471, and the heat-conducting member 48 is made of metal. Conventional ice-making devices are often prone to interrupting the ice-making process due to ice blockage of the water inlet channel, and ice-making can only be continued after waiting for the channel to thaw or manual intervention and cleaning, resulting in extended ice-making time and low efficiency. The present invention can effectively transfer the low-temperature heat of the ice-making chamber to the water in the water tank cavity by setting the heat-conducting end. By keeping the temperature of the heat-conducting end and the water inlet cavity higher than the freezing point, the water inlet cavity is prevented from freezing and clogging during the ice-making process, thereby ensuring that water can be continuously and smoothly transferred from the water tank to the ice-making chamber, greatly improving the ice-making efficiency. The heat-conducting member can effectively transfer the heat of the water tank cavity to the water inlet cavity. Through direct heat transfer, the temperature difference at both ends of the water inlet cavity can be balanced. During the ice-making process, when the temperature of the ice-making cavity decreases, the heat-conducting member can prevent the temperature of the water inlet cavity from being too low and freezing. The efficient heat conduction effect ensures that the water in the water inlet cavity is always kept within a suitable temperature range, thereby avoiding the problem of ice clogging. Specifically, the heat-conducting member is made of metal material, and the metal has good heat conduction performance. The heat-conducting member can more effectively transfer the heat of the water tank cavity to the ice-making chamber, accelerating the cooling and freezing process of the water. At the same time, the setting of the limiter also helps to ensure the close contact between the heat-conducting member and the water inlet cavity, further improving the heat conduction efficiency. Optionally, in some embodiments, the heat conducting member is made of stainless steel. Optionally, in some embodiments, the heat conducting member is made of copper.

[0058] Embodiment 15: Based on Embodiment 14, Embodiment 15 further has the following implementation manner: the heat conducting end 472 includes a connector 49 connected to the water inlet chamber 471, one end of the connector 49 is provided with a first opening 491 close to the ice making chamber 223 and the other end is provided with a second opening 492 connected to the water inlet chamber 471, the diameter of the first opening 491 is smaller than the diameter of the second opening 492, and the connector 49 partially extends into the ice making chamber 223. Further, since the diameter of the first opening is smaller than the diameter of the second opening, the larger diameter of the second opening allows more water to flow smoothly into the connector, while the smaller diameter of the first opening helps to control the water flow speed and flow rate, and plays a certain guiding and buffering role. The variable diameter structure prolongs the contact path and time between the low temperature and the higher temperature medium, and promotes the transfer of heat. The connector partially extends into the ice making chamber, and the diameter of the first opening is smaller, so that the temperature of the ice making chamber is slowly transferred to the water inlet chamber through the first opening, and the temperature of the water tank cavity is more quickly transferred to the water inlet chamber through the second opening. The water inlet chamber 471 is provided with a limiting portion 4711 for limiting the heat conductor 48. The limiting portion 4711 is provided with a plurality of limiting portions and is arranged along the axial direction of the water inlet chamber 471. The heat conductor 48 is made of metal. Furthermore, the limiting portion ensures the stable position of the heat conductor in the water inlet chamber. Since the heat conductor needs to partially extend into the ice-making chamber for heat conduction, the limiting portion prevents the heat conductor from being displaced due to water flow impact or temperature changes during the ice-making process by providing physical support and restriction, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the ice-making process. When installing the heat conductor, the operator can accurately place the heat conductor in the water inlet chamber according to the position of the limiting portion to ensure that it is in the best working position. Optionally, in some embodiments, a gap is left between two adjacent limiting portions for water to pass through, so that water can better contact the surface of the heat conductor. The connecting member 49 is provided with a limiting end 493 extending toward one side of the heat conductor 48, and the limiting end 493 is provided with a limiting surface 4931 for limiting the heat conductor 48. In addition, the limiting surface also plays a certain protective role. During the ice making process, the impact of the water flow will cause the heat conductor to collide with the connecting member, thereby causing certain wear or damage. By limiting the range of motion of the heat conductor, the limiting surface can reduce the impact of such impact on the heat conductor, thereby extending its service life. Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting member is made of plastic.

[0059] Embodiment 16: Embodiment 16, on the basis of Embodiment 15, further has the following implementation manner: the first mold shell 25 is provided with a connecting cavity 440 that accommodates the connecting member 49 and communicates with the ice-making cavity 5, the water tank 43 is provided with an extension portion 431 extending into the connecting cavity 440, the limiting portion 4711 is located in the extending portion 431, the extending portion 431 is communicated with the inner cavity 436 of the water tank, one end of the extending portion 431 abuts against the connecting member 49, a sealing member 4311 is provided between the outer side of the extending portion 431 and the inner side of the connecting cavity 440, and the connecting member 49 is provided with a limiting boss 494 abutting against the inner wall of the connecting cavity 440. Of course, in some embodiments, the connecting cavity may also extend into the extending portion, and the sealing member may be located between the outer side of the connecting cavity and the inner side of the extending portion. Specifically, the abutment between the limiting boss and the inner wall of the connecting cavity, and the abutment between the extension and the connecting piece, jointly enhance the stability of the water tank, the heat-conducting end and the ice-making part, and help prevent the loosening or displacement of components caused by water flow impact, temperature change or mechanical vibration during the ice-making process. The provision of the seal ensures close contact between the extension and the connecting cavity, and between the extension and the connecting piece, thereby preventing water leakage. Optionally, in some embodiments, the water inlet cavity is partially or entirely located in the extension. Optionally, in some embodiments, the water inlet cavity is partially or entirely located in the connecting cavity.

[0060] Embodiment 17, based on Embodiment 15, Embodiment 17 further has the following implementation mode: the heat conducting end 472 includes a heating film 4720 connected to the first mold shell 25 and / or the second mold shell 26. The heating film 4720 includes a first heating film 4721 located between the water tank 43 and the first mold shell 25, and a second heating film 4722 located on the second mold shell 26, and the first heating film 4721 is arranged on the outside of the water inlet cavity 471. Further, the first heating film is located between the water tank and the first mold shell, and can effectively transfer the heat in the water tank to the first mold shell, and then heat exchange is performed through the ice-making cavity enclosed by the first mold shell and the second mold shell, so that the heat can be transferred to the ice-making cavity more directly and efficiently. The first heating film is arranged on the outside of the water inlet cavity, and when the first heating film is heated, the ice blockage phenomenon of the water flow in the water inlet cavity can be reduced. At the same time, the second heating film is located on the second mold shell, and can further transfer the heat from the outside of the ice-making cavity to the inside.

[0061] Embodiment 18. Embodiment 18, on the basis of embodiment 17, further has the following implementation manner: a first mounting member 4411 is provided between the water tank 43 and the first mold shell 25, the first mounting member 4411 is provided with a mounting hole 44111 for the extension portion 431 to pass through, and a first mounting cavity 44112 for limiting the first heating membrane 4721, the first heating membrane 4721 is provided with a heating membrane opening 47211 for the extension portion 431 to pass through, and a second mounting member 4421 is provided on the side of the second mold shell 26 away from the first mold shell 25, and the second mounting member 4421 is provided with a second mounting cavity 44211 for limiting the second heating membrane 4722. Furthermore, the mounting hole provided on the first mounting member provides a precise passage for the extension of the water tank, so that the extension can reach the designated position accurately and cooperate with the connecting parts and other components. The first mounting cavity limits the first heat-conducting film, so that the first heat-conducting film can stably play the function of regulating the temperature between the water tank and the first mold shell and preventing the water inlet cavity from freezing. The second mounting member is provided with a second mounting cavity for limiting the second heating film, so that the second heating film can be easily positioned and fixed at a predetermined position during installation, without the need for additional fixing devices or complicated installation steps, which greatly simplifies the installation process of the second heating film and reduces the installation cost and time. The first mold shell 25 is provided with a cooling cavity 4412, and the first mounting member 4411 includes a connecting shell 44113 connected to the cooling cavity 4412, and a fixed shell 44114 located between the connecting shell 44113 and the water tank 43, the fixed shell 44114 is provided with a first fixed end 441141 connected to the water tank 43, and a second fixed end 441142 connected to the first mold shell 25, the cooling cavity 4412 is provided with a connecting cavity limiting end 44121 for limiting the connecting shell 44113, and the connecting cavity 440 is located in the connecting cavity limiting end 44121. Further, the first fixed end and the second fixed end of the fixed shell can ensure accurate positioning and firm connection between the water tank and the first mold shell, and this arrangement improves the installation accuracy and avoids problems such as water leakage and looseness caused by improper installation. At the same time, the connection between the connecting shell and the fixed shell also enhances the stability of the entire installation structure, which can withstand various stresses and vibrations during the ice making process.

[0062] Embodiment 19: Embodiment 19 is based on Embodiment 17 and further has the following implementation methods: Figure 27 to Figure 28The ice-making chamber 223 for making ice cubes is connected to one side of the first mold shell 25, and the cooling chamber 4412 for accommodating the refrigerant is located on the other side of the first mold shell 25, the water inlet chamber 471 connected to the ice-making chamber 223, the input end 55 for the refrigerant to enter the cooling chamber 4412, and the output end 56 for the refrigerant to discharge the cooling chamber 4412. In order to achieve a good heat transfer effect for the pipe containing the refrigerant, the traditional ice-making device needs to add additional grooves on the mold shell to set a circuitous pipe. The present invention sets a cooling chamber for accommodating the refrigerant, and there is no need to perform complex grooving and other additional processing operations on the shell, which greatly simplifies the relevant processes for the layout of the refrigerant pipeline in the production and assembly process, and effectively improves the efficiency of production and assembly. The refrigerant flows in the cooling chamber and directly exchanges heat with the liquid water in the ice-making chamber through the inner wall of the cooling chamber. Due to the increase in the direct contact area between the refrigerant and the inner wall of the cooling chamber, the heat transfer efficiency is significantly improved, thereby accelerating the speed of liquid water converting into solid ice. The heat of the refrigerant is transferred through the inner wall of the cooling chamber, providing a stable supply of cold for the liquid water in the ice-making chamber to be converted into solid ice, ensuring that the ice-making process can be carried out stably and efficiently, and ensuring that the ice-making module continuously outputs high-quality ice cubes. Specifically, in some embodiments, the water source enters the ice-making chamber through the water inlet chamber, and the movement speed or volume of the water can be controlled by flow detection, pressure detection, etc., so that the quality of ice cubes in the ice-making process is consistent. The cooling chamber 4412 is provided with a guide end 532, and the guide end 532 allows the refrigerant to move from the input end 55 to the output end 56 after passing through the cooling chamber 4412. The guide end 532 is provided with a second guide end 5322 that allows the refrigerant in the cooling chamber 4412 to move in a circuitous manner. The second guide end 5323 is provided with a plurality of avoidance ends 53231 that cooperate with the connection chamber limit end 44121, and the avoidance end 53231 is arranged in an arc shape. Further, the second guide end allows the refrigerant to move in a circuitous manner, greatly increasing the flow path length of the refrigerant in the cooling chamber. Specifically, the plurality of avoidance ends make the second guide end be arranged in a wave shape, and the refrigerant is guided to move in a circuitous manner by the second guide end and the avoidance end is used to cooperate with the connection cavity limit end. Under the premise of not increasing the volume of the cooling cavity, the connection cavity limit end can be arranged in a staggered manner, so as to make full use of the space inside the cooling cavity. The cooling cavity 4412 is provided with an input channel 533 connected to the input end 55 and an output channel 534 connected to the output end 56. The guide end 532 is provided with a first guide end 5321 separating the input channel 533 and the output channel 534. The input channel 533 and the output channel 534 are respectively located at the starting end and the end end of the cooling cavity 4412. The input end 55 and the output end 56 are respectively located on the same side of the first mold shell 25. Furthermore, by providing independent input channels and output channels, and separating them by the first guide end, the refrigerant forms a moving path in the cooling cavity.By optimizing the refrigerant flow path and improving the heat transfer efficiency, it helps to reduce the energy consumption in the ice making process. The first guide end not only separates the input channel and the output channel, but also enhances the structural stability of the cooling chamber. It can withstand the pressure generated when the refrigerant flows, reduce the risk of deformation of the cooling chamber, and thus extend the service life of the ice making module. In addition, the input channel and the output channel are respectively located at the starting end and the end of the cooling chamber, and the input end and the output end are located on the same side of the first mold shell. Such a layout allows the refrigerant to flow through a longer distance in the cooling chamber, and the contact area with the inner wall of the cooling chamber is larger and the time is longer. The cooling chamber 4412 is provided with a sealing end 535 connected to the outside of the connection chamber limit end 44121, and the inner wall of the connection shell 44113 is respectively connected to the sealing end 535 and / or the guide end 532, and the connection shell 44113, the sealing end 535 and the guide end 532 are all made of metal. The connection shell is connected to the sealing end and the guide end, so that the heat conduction path inside the cooling chamber is more continuous and efficient. The refrigerant flows in an orderly manner through the guide end in the cooling chamber, and the generated cold can be more effectively transferred to the ice-making chamber under the action of the sealing end. At the same time, the connection of the connecting shell ensures that the heat will not be lost due to structural gaps or discontinuities during the transfer process, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling chamber and the ice-making chamber, accelerating the ice-making speed, and reducing the time and energy consumption required for ice-making. The connecting shell, the sealing end, and the guide end can all be made of aluminum and connected through a welding process. The aluminum material can reduce the corrosion of the refrigerant and ensure the sealing performance.
