The top surface of the horizontal end of each L-shaped connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected with a mounting frame 5, and an ice-making plate 6 is arranged in the mounting frame 5. The ice-making plate 6 can be detachably installed in the mounting frame 5, and a plurality of ice-making grooves 9 are opened on the ice-making plate 6. The bottom of each ice-making groove 9 is fixedly connected with a silicone pad 8, and the silicone pad 8 is food grade, a demoulding piece for pushing the ice cubes on the silicone pad 8 to demould is provided between the ice making plate 6 and the L-shaped connecting plate 2, and a pushing component for pushing the demoulding piece to move upward is provided between the ice making plate 6 and the L-shaped connecting plate 2, and a driving component for pulling out the L-shaped connecting plate 2 and driving the pushing component to rotate is provided at the horizontal end that passes through the L-shaped connecting plate 2. By pulling the L-shaped connecting plate 2 out of the ice maker, and then rotating the driving component as the L-shaped connecting plate 2 continues to move, and at the same time, the rotation of the driving component engages with the pushing component, the demoulding piece on the pushing component is moved upward, and is abutted against the silicone pad 8 at the bottom of the ice making groove 9 on the ice making plate 6, the ice cubes in the ice making groove 9 are taken out, the ice cubes are demoulded, and the quality of the ice cube demoulding is improved.
[0023] Reference Figure 3 The demolding part includes a top plate 10, which is embedded in the mounting frame 5 and located between the ice-making plate 6 and the top surface of the L-shaped connecting plate 2. The top surface of the top plate 10 is fixedly connected with a top block 11 that abuts against the silicone pad 8 at the bottom of the ice-making groove 9, and a plurality of linear arrays of top blocks 11 that are compatible with the silicone pad 8 at the bottom of the ice-making groove 9 are provided.
[0024] Reference Figure 4-Figure 5 The pushing assembly includes a first gear 14 and a mounting shaft 15. The mounting shaft 15 is rotatably connected between the L-shaped connecting plate 2 and the ice-making plate 6. The mounting shaft 15 is provided with a thread on one side facing the ice-making plate 6, and a smooth rod on the other side. The first gear 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 15 and fixedly connected to the smooth rod. The ice-making plate 6 is threadedly sleeved on the mounting shaft 15, and the threaded end of the mounting shaft 15 is threadedly sleeved.
[0025] Reference Figure 4 Guide plates 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top plate 10, and guide grooves 13 for the guide plates 12 to move are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 5. By rotating the mounting shaft 15, the top plate 10 threadedly connected to the mounting shaft 15 is pushed, and the top plate 10 moves upward along the guide plates 12 on both sides.
[0026] Reference Figure 4-Figure 5 The driving assembly includes two second gears 17, and the horizontal end that passes through the L-shaped connecting plate 2 is rotatably connected with a connecting shaft 16. The two second gears 17 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the connecting shaft 16. A toothed plate 7 meshing with the second gear 17 at the lower end of the connecting shaft 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the ice making cabinet. The second gear 17 at the upper end of the connecting shaft 16 meshes with the first gear 14. By pulling the L-shaped connecting plate 2 to move outward, as the L-shaped connecting plate 2 continues to move, the second gear 17 at the lower end of the connecting shaft 16 meshes with the toothed plate 7 on one side of the ice making cabinet 1. With the rotation of the second gear 17, the second gear 17 at the upper end of the connecting shaft 16 rotates synchronously through the connecting shaft 16 and the second gear 17 at the upper end of the connecting shaft 16. As the second gear 17 meshes with the first gear 14, the mounting shaft 15 also rotates with the first gear 14. As the mounting shaft 15 rotates, the top plate 10 threadedly sleeved on the mounting shaft 15 moves upward synchronously.
[0027] Reference Figure 5 The height of the top surface of the horizontal end of the L-shaped connecting plate 2 is greater than the height of the top surface of the horizontal end of the ice-making plate 6. As the top block 11 on the top plate 10 pushes the ice cubes in the ice-making groove 9 out, it prevents the ice cubes from being stuck in the ice-making cabinet 1 while the L-shaped connecting plate 2 moves, affecting the removal of the ice-making plate 6.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] First, the L-shaped connecting plate 2 is pulled outward to move. As the L-shaped connecting plate 2 continues to move, the second gear 17 at the lower end of the connecting shaft 16 meshes with the toothed plate 7 on one side of the ice making cabinet 1. As the second gear 17 rotates, the connecting shaft 16 and the second gear 17 at the upper end of the connecting shaft 16 rotate synchronously. As the second gear 17 meshes with the first gear 14, the mounting shaft 15 also rotates with the first gear 14. As the mounting shaft 15 rotates, the top plate 10 threadedly sleeved on the mounting shaft 15 moves upward synchronously. As the top plate 10 continues to move upward, the top block 11 on the top plate 10 squeezes the silicone pad 8 at the bottom of the ice making groove 9 upward to demold the ice cubes in the ice making groove 9.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
