[0074] Next, the water supply component 700 will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 8 as shown in the figure.

[0075] As can be understood, referring to Figure 7 as shown, the water supply component 700 is provided with a water outlet on the side facing the ice maker 400, and the water outlet is communicated with the ice maker 400 through a communication pipe 110, so as to shorten the water path length between the water supply component 700 and the ice maker 400 and also reduce the space occupied by the water path.

[0076] When the water supply component 700 is above the ice maker 400 and the first chamber 310 is above the second chamber 320, the water outlet is arranged below the water supply component 700, so as to shorten the pipe line between the water supply component 700 and the ice maker 400; similarly, when the water supply component 700 is below the ice maker 400 and the first chamber 310 is below the second chamber 320, the water outlet is arranged above the water supply component 700.

[0077] As can be understood, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, the water supply component 700 comprises a water valve 730, and the water outlet is opened and closed through the water valve 730, and the water valve 730 is arranged in the first chamber 310, so as to solve the problem of complex water inlet pipe line and water outlet pipe line when the water valve 730 is arranged in the compressor compartment.

The filter assembly can filter an external water source and then deliver the filtered water to the ice maker 400; the water stored in the water tank is delivered to the ice maker 400, and the water in the water tank can be filtered water filtered by the filter assembly or manually added water; the water supply component 700 can also supply water to the ice maker 400 in cooperation with both the filter assembly and the water tank, and the water supply path of the water supply component 700 to the ice maker 400 is various, which can be selected as required.

[0079] It should be noted that no matter which way the water supply component 700 supplies water to the ice maker 400, the water supply component 700 is provided with a water outlet connected with the communication pipe 110 of the embedded part 100, and the water outlet corresponds to the communication pipe 110 up and down, without additional water pipeline, which can shorten the pipeline path.

[0080] It can be understood that, as shown in Figures 5 to 7 The water supply component 700 includes a shell 710 and a filter 720, the shell 710 includes a front wall 711, a rear wall 712 and a side wall 713 connecting the front wall 711 and the rear wall 712, and the shell 710 is provided with a filter 720 and a water valve 730 connected therein, the water valve 730 is connected with a water inlet pipe 741 and a first water outlet pipe 742, the water inlet pipe 741 is arranged through the rear wall 712 of the shell 710, and the first water outlet pipe 742 is arranged through the side outlet 7131 of the side wall 713 of the shell 710, and the water inlet pipe 741 and the first water outlet pipe 742 are arranged at different sides of the shell 710, so that the positions of water inlet and water outlet can be flexibly arranged. Among them, the first water outlet pipe 742 can be provided with one or more, which can be selected according to needs.

[0081] When the filter assembly needs to supply water to the ice maker 400, the first water outlet pipe 742 is arranged through the side wall 713, and the side wall 713 can be installed on the partition plate 330 of the refrigeration equipment. By arranging the outlet of the first water outlet pipe 742 on the side wall 713, the first water outlet pipe 742 can be communicated with the ice maker 400 through the partition plate 330, so as to shorten the water supply path and simplify the structure. The side wall 713 can be understood as a cylindrical structure, such as a column, a prism and the like, and the shape of the side wall 713 can be adapted to the shape of the filter 720 and the components installed in the shell 710.

[0082] As shown in Figure 8 The side wall 713 is formed with a guide groove 7132-3, and the first water outlet pipe 742 is arranged in the guide groove 7132-3. The first water outlet pipe 742 extends along the guide groove 7132-3 in the shell 710, and the guide groove 7132-3 can guide and limit the first water outlet pipe 742. In some cases, the slot 7132-4 of the guide groove 7132-3 faces the filter 720, which can reduce the contact area between the filter 720 and the shell 710, and also facilitates the installation of the first water outlet pipe 742 in the guide groove 7132-3.

[0083] The side wall 713 is connected with a first groove wall 7132-1 and a second groove wall 7132-2, and the guide groove 7132-3 is formed between the first groove wall 7132-1 and the second groove wall 7132-2. The guide groove 7132-3 extends along the water valve 730 to the side outlet 7131 to guide the extension of the first water outlet pipe 742.

[0084] The side wall 713 comprises adjacent first and second side plates 7132 and 7133, the first side plate 7132 connecting the first and second groove walls 7132-1 and 7132-2, and the second groove wall 7132-2 being connected with the reinforcing plate 7134. The reinforcing plate 7134 is located on one side of the guide groove 7132-3, which can provide additional support for the guide groove 7132-3 and help ensure the performance and reliability of the guide groove 7132-3 during assembly and use. At the same time, the arrangement of the reinforcing plate 7134 can increase the overall strength of the side wall 713, and can share and disperse the load under external stress, thereby improving the stability of the side wall 713.

[0085] Along the length direction of the filter 720, the reinforcing plate 7134 forms a limiting structure (not labeled in the figure) towards one side of the filter 720. The limiting structure can limit the filter 720, making the installation of the filter 720 convenient and reliable. The limiting structure can be the entire or partial surface of the reinforcing plate 7134 towards the filter 720. The reinforcing plate 7134 is provided with multiple along the length direction of the filter 720.

[0086] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the outer side of the shell 710 is provided with a positioning pipe 714, the positioning pipe 714 forms a side outlet 7131, and the first water outlet pipe 742 is inserted into the positioning pipe 714. It can be understood that the positioning pipe 714 can be towards the water inlet of the ice maker 400, and the positioning pipe 714 can not only ensure the accurate positioning of the first water outlet pipe 742, but also make the first water outlet pipe 742 be able to stably send water to the ice maker 400.

[0087] The positioning pipe 714 and the communication pipe 110 of the embedded part 100 are mutually sleeved, such as the communication pipe 110 being sleeved on the outer side of the positioning pipe 714. The communication pipe 110 can not only play a communication role, but also play a role in protecting the positioning pipe 714 and the first water outlet pipe 742, and also facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the filter assembly from the partition plate 330. The first water outlet pipe 742 can be inserted into the communication pipe 110 through the positioning pipe 714, or can be hidden in the positioning pipe 714. Of course, the positioning pipe can also be sleeved on the outer side of the communication pipe 110.

[0093] Next, reference Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the embedded part 100 is described.

[0094] It can be understood that, reference Figure 12As shown, the device body 300 comprises the box body 200, the box body 200 is provided with the mounting port 211, the embedded part 100 is arranged in the mounting port 211 and seals the mounting port 211, the embedded part 100 is fixed with the box body 200 through the embedded layer 340, so that the embedded part 100 and the box body 200 enclose the first chamber 310 or the second chamber 320. The embedded part 100 is arranged in the mounting port 211 of the box body 200 to form a refrigeration chamber, the embedded part 100 is used for sealing the mounting port 211 of the box body 200, which can optimize the space utilization, provide more chamber space, reduce the material of the box body 200, and reduce the cost of the box body 200 in batch production.

The embedded part 100 can seal the mounting port 211, and when the embedded layer 340 is a foaming layer, the limiting part 123 can also prevent the foaming liquid from overflowing.

[0096] The limiting part 123 can be understood as the edge of the body 122, and the limiting part 123 surrounds the body 122. The outside of the box body 200 can be understood as the side of the box body 200 facing the embedded layer 340, and the inside of the box body 200 is the side forming the chamber.

[0097] The limiting part 123 of the embedded part 100 overlaps the side of the box body 200 facing the embedded layer 340. It can be understood that when the box body 200 is applied to a refrigeration device, the limiting part 123 overlaps the side of the box body 200 facing the embedded layer 340, which not only realizes the limiting fixation of the embedded part 100, but also the limiting part 123 is located in the embedded layer 340, that is, the limiting part 123 is hidden in the embedded layer 340, so that the inner wall structure of the box body 200 is more simple.

[0098] Reference Figure 12 As shown, the limiting part 123 is provided with the first positioning part 1231, and the box body 200 is provided with the second positioning part 212, and the first positioning part 1231 and the second positioning part 212 are positioned with each other. Through the first positioning part 1231 matched with the box body 200, accurate positioning of the embedded part 100 can be realized, the assembly difficulty is reduced, the assembly process is simple and efficient, the adjustment and correction in the assembly process are reduced, so that the assembly cost and time are reduced, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0099] The first positioning part 1231 and the second positioning part 212 can be matched blocks and grooves, matched holes and pins, or matched balls and seats. The structure of the first positioning part 1231 and the second positioning part 212 can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited herein. The first positioning part 1231 can be provided with one or more on the extension path of the limiting part 123, and the corresponding second positioning part 212 is provided with one or more. The number of the first positioning part 1231 and the second positioning part 212 can be set according to actual needs.

[0100] It can be understood that, as shown in Figures 9 to 11 The connecting plate 120 is provided with a mounting part 121 connected with the matching part of the ice maker 400 or the water supply component 700. When the embedded part 100 is fixed in the embedded layer 340, the embedded part 100 can not only realize the water supply function to the ice maker 400, but also realize the installation of the water supply component 700 and the ice maker 400, simplify the assembly process of the water supply component 700 and the ice maker 400, and facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400.

[0101] One side of the connecting plate 120 is fixed with the embedded layer 340, which helps to keep the stability of the communicating pipe 110. The other side of the connecting plate 120 is provided with the mounting part 121, which can be used to connect the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400, facilitating the installation of the water component or the ice maker 400. At this time, the other side of the connecting plate 120 is a partial side wall 713 of the first chamber 310 or the second chamber 320.

[0102] It should be noted that the mounting part 121 can be used to connect the water supply component 700, can be used to connect the ice maker 400, and can also be used to connect the water supply component 700 and the ice maker 400. The mounting part 121 can be set according to specific needs to adapt to different models and specifications of the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400.

[0103] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The mounting part 121 includes a first connecting part 1211 and a supporting part 1212. The supporting part 1212 is connected with the connecting plate 120 through the first connecting part 1211. The supporting part 1212, the first connecting part 1211 and the connecting plate 120 form a limiting space 1214 with at least one opening 1213, so that the matching part of the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400 is connected with the supporting part 1212 through the opening 1213 and is limited in the limiting space 1214. The mounting part 121 provides reliable support and fixation for the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400, ensures stable installation, and guarantees stable water supply of the water supply component 700 and stable ice making of the ice maker 400.

[0104] It can be understood that the plurality of mounting portions 121 each have an opening 1213 facing a preset direction, which can realize the installation of the plurality of positions of the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400, and optimize the installation stability. The preset direction can be understood as the direction in which the fitting portion is inserted into or removed from the limiting space 1214, which can ensure that the fitting portion is inserted into or removed from the limiting space 1214 in a certain direction, such as the fitting portion being installed from front to back and being disassembled from back to front. The fitting portion has one degree of freedom in one direction and is limited in other directions, thereby ensuring that the water supply component 700 and the ice maker 400 are installed and disassembled in the correct position, which helps to simplify the installation and maintenance process.

[0105] Among them, the adjacent side of at least one opening 1213 is provided with a first connecting portion 1211, and the opposite side of at least one opening 1213 is provided with a first connecting portion 1211. When the mounting portion 121 is provided with a plurality of openings 1213, the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the adjacent side of the opening 1213 of one mounting portion 121, and the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the opposite side of the opening 1213 of another mounting portion 121, thereby achieving multi-directional limiting and avoiding the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400 having a degree of freedom in other directions.

[0106] In some cases, at least two sides of the support portion 1212 are provided with the first connecting portion 1211, which can enhance the stability of the support portion 1212, improve the limiting effect of the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400, and also ensure accurate positioning, improve the structural strength of the embedded part 100, and improve the stability of the connection of the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400. The support portion 1212 is connected to the connecting plate 120 through a plurality of first connecting portions 1211, which disperses the load and reduces stress concentration, thereby improving the durability of the support portion 1212 and the connecting plate 120 and prolonging the service life.

[0107] Among them, the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the adjacent two sides of the support portion 1212, the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the rear side and the left side, the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the rear side and the right side, the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the front side and the left side, and the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the front side and the rear side. Of course, the first connecting portion 1211 can also be arranged on the opposite two sides of the support portion 1212, the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the left side and the rear side, and the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged on the front side and the rear side. The position of the first connecting portion 1211 can be arranged according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.

[0108] When the mounting portion 121 is provided with multiple mounting portions, the first connecting portion 1211 of one mounting portion 121 is provided on the rear side and the left side, and the first connecting portion 1211 of another mounting portion 121 is provided on the right side and the right side, and the multiple mounting portions 121 cooperatively form the opening 1213 on the front side, and the cooperating portion of the ice maker 400 can be inserted into or removed from the limiting space 1214 on the front side of the mounting portion 121, and the first connecting portion 1211 can limit the cooperating portion on the rear side, the right side and the left side, prevent the cooperating portion from sliding out, and ensure the stability of the connection.

[0109] As shown in Figure 10 , a part of the mounting portion 121 has the same structure, and the other part of the mounting portion 121 is symmetrically formed along the preset axis. Among them, the preset axis can be the axis of symmetry of the connecting plate 120 or the axis of symmetry of the ice maker 400.

[0110] Among them, the supporting portion 1212 can be provided with at least one reinforcing rib 1215, which can improve the structural strength of the supporting portion 1212, enhance the carrying capacity of the supporting portion 1212 for the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400, and improve the stability of the fixing and limiting.

[0111] Of course, the mounting portion 121 can also be provided with one, and multiple directions of the mounting portion 121 are provided with the first connecting portion 1211, and the mounting portion 121 is only provided with the opening 1213 on one side.

[0112] In another embodiment, the mounting portion 121 is provided with a threaded hole or a threaded stud, and the cooperating portion is connected with the mounting portion 121 through a threaded connection, and the connection method is simple. The mounting portion 121 with a threaded connection, and the mounting portion 121 provided with the supporting portion 1212, the connecting plate 120 is provided with one of the mounting portions 121, and the connecting plate 120 can also be provided with two kinds of mounting portions 121. Correspondingly, the cooperating portion is provided with a nut or a threaded hole matched with the threaded hole or the threaded stud, which can be reliably connected. The threaded connection can fine-tune the position of the water supply component 700 or the ice maker 400 during the connection process, and ensure the accuracy of the installation position.

[0113] As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the mounting portion 121 protrudes away from the connecting plate 120, and the mounting portion 121 is provided with a threaded hole or a threaded stud, that is, the mounting portion 121 protrudes towards the embedded layer 340, which can increase the contact area between the mounting portion 121 and the embedded layer 340, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the embedded part 100 and the embedded layer 340, and improving the structural strength of the connection.

[0114] It should be noted that the mounting portion 121 and the cooperating portion can be a clamping, plug-in, clamping or other cooperation mode, and the cooperation mode is various, which is not limited here.

[0115] ReferenceFigure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the main body 300 needs to accommodate multiple ice makers 400, the connecting plate 120 is provided with multiple mounting parts 121, which can realize the installation and positioning of multiple ice makers 400. As shown in the figure, the mounting part 121 may include a first connecting part 1211 and a support part 1212, or it may have threaded holes and studs. The mounting part 121 can be configured according to requirements. Correspondingly, multiple connecting pipes 110 can be provided. The embedded part 100 supplies water to multiple ice makers 400 through the connecting pipes 110, thereby avoiding the problem of increased complexity of water circuits, cost, and manufacturing complexity when installing multiple ice makers 400.

[0116] Below, for reference Figures 13 to 19 The method of combining the ice maker 400 and the ice storage container 600 is explained as shown.

[0117] Understandably, reference Figure 19 As shown, an ice storage container 600 is disposed below the ice maker 400, and an ice-drawing device 500 is disposed between the ice maker 400 and the ice storage container 600. The ice maker 400 is provided with an ice-making outlet, and the ice storage container 600 is provided with an ice-receiving inlet. The ice-drawing device 500 includes an ice-receiving port 501 connected to the ice-making outlet and an ice-discharging port 502 connected to the ice-discharging inlet. By setting the opening area of ​​the ice-discharging port 502 to be smaller than the opening area of ​​the ice-discharging port 501, the ice storage container 600, which has a smaller opening area for the ice-discharging inlet, can be adapted, making the structure of the ice storage container 600 more flexible.

[0118] When it is necessary to place ice blocks from the ice maker 400 into the ice storage container 600 with a smaller opening 1213, the ice-drawing device 500 can guide the ice blocks into the ice storage container 600. The ice storage container 600 has a more flexible design in terms of volume and shape, making it convenient for users to take the ice storage container 600 out of the refrigeration equipment and meet diverse user needs. The ice-drawing device 500 can be understood as an approximately funnel-shaped structure, which is simple in structure and easy to manufacture.

[0119] Understandably, reference Figure 14 and Figure 17 As shown, the ice-drawing device 500 includes a housing 510 and a detection component 520 connected to the housing 510. The ice-drawing device 500 has a detection function. The detection component 520 can be used to detect the ice level inside the ice storage container 600, the model of the ice storage container 600, the shape of the ice-dispensing inlet of the ice storage container 600, whether the ice storage container 600 is in an ice-dispensing position that can receive ice, and the amount of ice dispensed, etc. The detection component 520 has various functions, including but not limited to the aforementioned functions.

[0120] A detection component 520 is provided on the housing 510. The detection component 520 can detect multiple parameters, making the ice-drawing device 500 versatile. The detection component 520 is used to detect ice or to detect whether the ice storage container 600 is in place.

[0121] refer to Figures 13 to 15 As shown, the shell 510 includes a shell body 511, a first shell portion 512, and a second shell portion 513. The shell body 511 forms an ice intake port 501 and an ice outlet port 502. The first shell portion 512 and the second shell portion 513 are arranged opposite to each other and are connected to the shell body 511. A positioning space is formed between the first shell portion 512 and the second shell portion 513. The ice storage container 600 is confined in the positioning space between the first shell portion 512 and the second shell portion 513. The first shell portion 512 and the second shell portion 513 cooperate to position the ice storage container 600, ensuring that the ice blocks discharged from the ice outlet port 502 accurately enter the ice storage container 600.

[0122] An ice outlet channel 503 is formed inside the shell body 511, connecting the ice intake port 501 and the ice outlet port 502. The first shell portion 512 and the second shell portion 513 protrude from the shell body 511, facilitating the positioning of the ice storage container 600. The positioning space is slightly larger than the volume of the corresponding part of the ice storage container 600, allowing for simple positioning of the ice storage container 600, facilitating ice intake and removal, and ensuring that the ice intake port of the ice storage container 600 surrounds the ice outlet port 502, allowing ice to accurately enter the ice storage container 600. The shell body 511 surrounds the ice grid 420 of the ice maker 400, preventing ice leakage and ensuring that ice can pass through the shell body 511 into the ice storage container 600.

[0123] The first shell 512 and the second shell 513 are located outside the ice outlet 503, which can prevent ice from entering the first shell 512 or the second shell 513 and ensure that the ice is sent out from the ice outlet 502.

[0124] Among them, reference Figure 14 and Figure 17 As shown, the detection component 520 can be installed in at least one of the housing body 511, the first housing portion 512, and the second housing portion 513. Figure 2 This illustrates that the detection component 520 is installed in the second housing 513. Figure 5 This illustrates that the detection component 520 is installed on the housing body 511.

[0125] The detection component 520 is detachably connected to the housing 510, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the detection component 520. This can be understood as the detection component 520 being detachably mounted on at least one of the housing body 511, the first housing portion 512, and the second housing portion 513.

[0126] In some cases, the detection component 520 is connected to at least one of the first shell part 512 and the second shell part 513. Compared with installing the detection component 520 in the ice outlet channel 503, installing the detection component 520 in at least one of the first shell part 512 and the second shell part 513 can avoid the ice block from hitting or interfering with the detection component 520, thereby ensuring the service life and stability of the detection component 520. The detection component 520 of the first shell part 512 and the second shell part 513 can make the first shell part 512 and the second shell part 513 more accurately positioned with the ice storage container 600, and facilitate the detection component 520 to detect the position of the ice storage container 600, the matching relationship between the ice storage container 600 and the ice maker 400, and the ice block height in the ice storage container 600.

[0127] Of course, the detection component 520 can also be installed on the shell body 511. The installation position of the detection component 520 is flexible and can be selected as needed.

[0128] When the detection component 520 is connected to the shell body 511, the detection component 520 is located in the ice outlet channel 503, and the probe of the detection component 520 faces the ice outlet 502, so that the detection component 520 can detect the condition of the ice storage container 600.

[0129] The detection component 520 includes an identification device for identifying the ice storage container 600 and an ice detection device for detecting the ice block. The identification device is connected to the shell body 511. The ice guide device 500 has a detection function, and the ice guide device 500 has various functions, which can simplify the structure of the ice maker 400 and the ice storage container 600, accurately identify the ice storage container 600, and accurately detect the ice block height in the ice storage container 600.

[0130] The identification device can be a magnetic induction sensor, a code scanning device, etc. The ice detection device can be an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc. The function of the detection component 520 is not limited to the identification of the ice storage container 600 and the detection of the ice block height. The detection component 520 can also include a camera, which can identify the shape of the ice block and the shape of the ice storage container 600, etc.

[0131] The detector (such as the identification device or the ice detection device) includes a transmitter arranged on the first shell part 512 and a receiver arranged on the second shell part 513. The transmission signal emitted by the transmitter passes through the ice storage container 600 and is received by the receiver. The received signal received by the receiver can be used to determine the model of the ice storage container 600, the ice block height in the ice storage container 600, the relative position between the ice storage container 600 and the ice outlet 502, etc. The transmission signal and the received signal can include light signals, vibration signals, etc. The types of the transmission signal and the received signal are not limited.

[0132] It should be noted that the first shell part 512 and the second shell part 513 are provided with through holes to avoid affecting signal transmission and reception.

[0133] Taking the optical signal as an example, the transmitting device transmits the optical signal, and the optical signal passes through the corresponding area of the ice storage container 600. The corresponding area of the ice storage container 600 interferes with the optical signal, such as filtering out or adding a specific wavelength of light signal, so as to change the received signal. If the received signal does not change, or the received signal does not match the set signal, it is determined that the ice storage container 600 and the ice guide device 500 do not match. Taking the ultrasonic signal as an example, if the height of the ice block in the ice storage container 600 reaches the detection range of the transmitting device and the receiving device, the signal received by the receiving device is in the corresponding range. If the height of the ice block in the ice storage container 600 does not reach the detection range, the signal received by the receiving device is in another corresponding range.

[0134] It should be noted that the transmitting device and the receiving device can be arranged in the first shell part 512 or the second shell part 513 at the same time. For example, the signal can be reflected, or the transmitting device and the receiving device are integrated as a whole. Therefore, the positions of the transmitting device and the receiving device are flexible and do not necessarily be arranged oppositely, which can be selected as required.

[0135] The identification device is detachably connected to the shell body 511, and the probe of the identification device faces the ice outlet 502, so that the identification device detects the condition of the ice storage container 600 through the ice outlet 502.

[0136] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 17 As shown in the figure, the identification device is provided with a clamping part for clamping outside the shell body 511. The clamping part is clamped to the outer edge of the shell body 511. The inner side of the shell body 511 is provided with a guide rail 518. The identification device is connected to the guide rail 518. The guide rail 518 can limit and disassemble the guide of the identification device. The cooperation structure of the identification device and the shell body 511 is simple, and the identification device is convenient to disassemble. Of course, the ice detection device can also be detachably connected to the shell body 511 by the above-mentioned manner.

[0137] Reference Figure 13As shown, the shell 510 is provided with an inclined surface 514. Along the direction from the ice-collecting port 501 to the ice-discharging port 502, that is, along the ice-discharging direction of the ice-discharging channel 503, the inclined surface 514 is inclined towards the axis of the shell 510. The ice-discharging channel 503 forms a reduced structure so that the opening area of ​​the ice-discharging port 502 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the ice-collecting port 501. When the shell 510 includes a shell body 511, the shell body 511 is provided with the inclined surface 514. One or more sides of the shell body 511 are provided with the inclined surface 514, allowing ice blocks to be guided out of the ice-discharging port 502 through one or more inclined surfaces 514.

[0138] In this context, along the ice-discharging direction of the ice-discharging channel 503, the inclined surface 514 is inclined towards the axis of the shell 510, which can be understood as, for example... Figure 13 As shown, the inclined surface 514 is inclined inward from top to bottom.

[0139] The inclined surface 514 is provided with a noise reduction structure. The noise reduction structure can be a structure formed by noise reduction materials, such as flexible materials such as silicone or rubber; the noise reduction structure can also be a porous noise reduction structure; and so on. There are various types of noise reduction structures, which can be selected according to needs.

[0140] refer to Figure 13 As shown, the housing 510 is provided with a second connection part 515 for connecting with the refrigeration equipment. The second connection part 515 can be connected to various structures such as the ice maker bracket 410, the refrigeration equipment liner 200, the refrigeration equipment partition 330, and the ice storage container 600.

[0141] refer to Figure 13 and Figure 18 As shown, the second connecting part 515 is connected to the ice maker bracket 410. The second connecting part 515 is a through hole. The ice maker bracket 410 and the second connecting part 515 are fixedly connected by a screw passing through the through hole, or by a screw and a nut. Of course, the connection method shown in the figure can also be used to connect with the liner 200 of a refrigeration device. When the housing 510 includes the housing body 511, the second connecting part 515 is provided on the housing body 511.

[0142] In addition, the second connecting part 515 is not limited to a through hole; the second connecting part 515 can also be a snap fastener, which snaps into the ice maker bracket 410.

[0143] refer to Figure 13 As shown, the housing 510 is provided with a third positioning part 516 for positioning with the refrigeration equipment. Before the housing 510 is connected to the refrigeration equipment, it can be positioned with the fourth positioning part of the refrigeration equipment through the third positioning part 516. After preliminary positioning, the housing 510 can be accurately installed, improving the installation accuracy.

[0144] The third positioning part 516 can be in various structural forms such as a protrusion, a groove, or a hole. For example...Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown in FIG. 11, the edge of the shell body 511 is provided with an upward turning edge, which can surround the outside of the ice maker support 410 to achieve the preliminary positioning of the shell body 511 and the ice maker support 410.

[0145] Of course, the shell 510 can be provided with the second connecting part 515 and the third positioning part 516 at the same time. Before the shell 510 is installed in the refrigeration equipment, the third positioning part 516 is positioned with the fourth positioning part to make the installation process more convenient.

[0146] It can be understood that the equipment body 300 includes a cabinet body and a door body, the door body is connected to the cabinet body in an openable and closable manner, and a refrigeration compartment is formed between the door body and the cabinet body. The refrigeration compartment can be a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment, etc. The ice maker 400 is installed in the freezing compartment of the refrigeration equipment, and the ice maker 400 can be arranged in the cabinet body or on the door body.

[0147] When the ice maker 400 is arranged in the cabinet body, the ice storage container 600 needs to be arranged below the ice maker 400 to receive the ice blocks of the ice maker 400. The ice storage container 600 is generally located in the cabinet body, but the ice storage container 600 is not limited to the cabinet body, and the ice storage container 600 can also be arranged on the door body. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the ice storage container 600 accurately corresponds to the ice outlet of the ice maker 400. When the ice storage container 600 is located in the cabinet body, the stability of the ice storage container 600 is good; when the ice storage container 600 is located on the door body, the ice storage container 600 is convenient to take and place.

[0148] In some cases, the ice maker 400 and the ice storage container 600 are both located on the door body. The positions of the ice maker 400 and the ice storage container 600 are flexible, and can be selected as needed.

[0149] No matter whether the ice maker 400 is in the cabinet body or on the door body, the ice storage container can be arranged on the door body, and the ice storage container can be directly approached when the door is opened. Correspondingly, a fixing mechanism is arranged on the door body, which can be used to fix the ice storage container. When the freezing door is opened, the ice storage container is pulled out along with the opening of the door body, which is convenient for users to take ice.

[0150] It can also be understood that a plurality of ice storage containers 600 are arranged below the ice maker 400, and the device body 300 is connected with a driving mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is used to drive the ice storage container 600 to move below the ice outlet of the ice maker 400 or to move away from the ice outlet. When ice is needed to be taken, the driving mechanism is used to drive the ice storage container 600 to move below the ice outlet, so that the ice storage container 600 can accurately take ice, and the driving mechanism can drive the ice storage container 600 to move forward and backward or left and right. Similarly, when the ice cubes are taken, the driving mechanism can be used to drive the ice storage container 600 to move away from the ice outlet, and the driving mechanism can drive the ice storage container 600 to move forward and backward or left and right.

[0151] When there are a plurality of ice storage containers along the depth direction of the refrigeration device, the driving mechanism is arranged to push the ice storage container at the rear side forward, so as to avoid that the ice in the ice storage container at the rear side is not fresh due to long-term non-use.

[0152] The driving mechanism can be a linear motor, or a transmission mechanism driven by a rotary motor to move linearly. The structure of the driving mechanism is various, which is not limited here and can be selected as needed.

[0153] In the refrigeration device of the embodiment, when the water supply component 700 comprises a filter 720, the positions of the filter 720 and the ice maker 400 are located on the same side of the refrigeration chamber and the freezing chamber of the refrigeration device, and a hole is directly opened between the refrigeration chamber and the freezing chamber. Water flows from the filter 720 to the ice maker 400, so as to optimize the water path layout, simplify the water path, and avoid complex connection between water pipes. By placing the installation positions of the filter 720 of the refrigeration chamber and the ice maker 400 of the freezing chamber on the same side (left side, middle, right side), and opening a hole between the refrigeration chamber and the freezing chamber, water can flow from the filter 720 of the refrigeration chamber to the ice maker 400. Thus, the water path of the refrigeration device is simplified. After the external water passes through the filter 720, it is introduced into the water inlet of the first ice maker 400 and the water inlet of the second ice maker 400, so that the first ice maker 400 and the second ice maker 400 make ice, and the ice cubes are respectively put into the first ice storage box and the second ice storage box after ice making.

[0154] The water supply component 700 can further comprise a water tank, which can be located in the shell 710 of the water supply component 700, or can be arranged at other positions in the refrigeration box outside the shell 710. The water tank can supply water to the internal water inlet on the side wall 713 in the refrigeration box, can supply water to the dispenser on the refrigeration door, and can also supply ice-making water to the ice maker 400 in the refrigeration box.
