AI Technical Summary
The flip of the existing ice maker needs to be turned outward when opened, occupying space, and condensate will drip from the cover to the ground, posing safety hazards and space waste.
A sliding top cover is designed to slide front and rear of the top cover by forming a sliding part and sliding groove on the inner side wall of the upper cover. A handle is provided at the upper end of the top cover for easy operation, and when opened, condensate water is introduced into the internal water tank to avoid external leakage. .
It realizes that the ice cubes do not occupy external space when they are taken out, and the condensate water falls into the internal water tank, improving operational safety and space utilization.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to an ice making machine with a slidable top cover. Background Art
[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice from water through an evaporator and cooling by the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It mainly uses water as a carrier and makes ice through the refrigeration system when powered on. Depending on the principle and production method of the evaporator, the shape of ice cubes generated by the ice maker is different, thereby adapting to different ice usage needs.
[0003] For example, a Chinese invention with publication number CN113932507B discloses a hidden ice maker, including a shell, an ice-making device and an ice-sieving device, the shell including a base and a flip cover arranged on the base, and an ice-making chamber and a material dispensing chamber are formed between the base and the flip cover, the ice-making device is arranged in the ice-making chamber, the ice-sieving device is arranged in the ice-sieving chamber, and the ice-making device is used to prepare ice cubes and transfer the ice cubes to the ice-sieving device.
[0004] When the ice cubes need to be taken out, the operator is usually required to open the flip cover first, and then use a tool to take out the ice cubes. Since the flip cover needs to be flipped outward when opening, when installing the ice maker, it is necessary to reserve space above the ice maker, otherwise the flip cover will not be able to be opened. At the same time, in the process of flipping the cover, condensed water on the cover will also drip from the cover, so the structure needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide an ice maker with a slidable top cover, which solves the problem that the existing cover is inconvenient to open.
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved as follows: an ice maker with a slidable top cover comprises an ice maker body, an ice storage chamber is arranged in the ice maker body, an upper cover is installed at the upper port of the ice maker body, an ice taking port is opened in the upper cover, a slidable top cover is arranged in the upper cover, and the top cover is slid to open or close the ice taking port.
[0007] Preferably, a sliding portion is formed on the inner side wall of the upper cover, and a sliding groove for the top cover to slide is formed between the sliding portion and the upper cover.
[0008] Preferably, a support portion is formed at the lower end of the sliding portion, and the support portion is used to abut against the upper end surface of the ice maker body.
[0009] Preferably, a handle is provided on the upper end surface of the top cover, and the handle is provided to protrude from the upper end surface of the upper cover.
[0010] Preferably, a mounting frame is formed on the outer periphery of the upper cover, an ice taking port is provided at one end of the upper cover, and a closed surface is provided at the other end of the upper cover.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following outstanding and beneficial technical effects:
[0012] The utility model adopts the design of the slidable top cover, so that in actual use, when the ice cubes in the ice storage chamber need to be taken out, the ice taking port can be opened by sliding the top cover, and then the ice cubes can be taken out by using a tool. Compared with the prior art, the flip cover needs to be flipped outward to open, occupying the external space, and in the process of flipping the lid, condensed water on the lid will drip from the lid to the ground. In the utility model, when the top cover is opened, the condensed water on the top cover will fall into the water tank inside the ice maker, and will not leak to the outside of the machine, and the top cover slides inside the upper cover, and will not hit the cabinet above or pinch the hands due to flipping, thereby saving space and being safer.

[0018] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an ice maker with a slidable top cover comprises an ice maker body 1, an ice storage chamber 2 is arranged in the ice maker body 1, an upper cover 3 is installed at the upper end of the ice maker body 1, an ice taking port 4 is opened in the upper cover 3, a slidable top cover 5 is arranged in the upper cover 3, and the top cover 5 is slid to open or close the ice taking port 4.
[0020] The utility model adopts the design of the slidable top cover, so that in actual use, when the ice cubes in the ice storage chamber 2 need to be taken out, the ice taking port 4 can be opened by sliding the top cover 5, and then the ice cubes can be taken out by using a tool. Compared with the prior art, the flip cover needs to be flipped outward to open, occupying the external space, and in the process of flipping the lid, condensed water on the lid will drip from the lid to the ground. In the utility model, when the top cover is opened, the condensed water on the top cover will fall into the water tank inside the ice maker, and will not leak to the outside of the machine, and the top cover slides in the upper cover 3, and will not hit the cabinet above or pinch the hands due to flipping, thereby saving space and being safer.
