Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a quick-demolding ice tray. Background Art
[0002] Ice cubes are a type of mold used to freeze water, beverages, and other drinks into ice cubes. Traditional ice cubes are not easy to use, so most of the ice cubes on the market today are quick-release ice cubes.
[0003] Most of the quick-release ice trays on the market are demolded by twisting or breaking the ice tray box after freezing, which can easily cause the ice cubes to fall out and onto the ground. The molds are also easily broken or cracked due to long-term freezing. Most of the easy-to-release products take out all the ice cubes on the ice tray at once. When the user only needs to take a small amount of ice cubes, the remaining ice cubes can only be put into a new box, which takes up the storage space of the refrigerator and the ice cubes are easily condensed, making it troublesome to take them out next time.

[0005] (II) Technical solution: In order to achieve the purpose of allowing the ice cubes to be ejected one by one in sequence for easy access, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a quick demoulding ice tray, comprising an ice tray mold and an ice tray box, wherein the ice tray mold is provided with an ice tray handle on the side, and the ice tray mold is pushed into the box through a slide groove on the side of the ice tray box, wherein the ice tray mold is provided with a plurality of ice cube forming cavities, the bottom of which is made of soft material, and a circular hole is provided between the bottoms of the forming cavities, into which an ejection rod can be inserted, and the ejection rod is pushed inward to generate a thrust on the bottom of the ice tray mold to cause it to deform, thereby demoulding the ice cubes.
[0006] Preferably, the ejection rod is in a conical shape with a small front end diameter.
[0007] Preferably, the ice tray cover is provided with a circular hole-shaped water inlet to prevent foreign matter from falling into the ice tray and causing contamination.
[0008] Preferably, the ice cube tray cover is provided with a water inlet for convenient addition of water or other liquids.
[0009] Preferably, the ice cube box has a rib structure inside to play a supporting role.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the ice cube box has an arc-shaped guide rail to prevent uneven force on the two rows of ice cubes.
[0011] (III) Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a quick demoulding ice tray, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. When using the quick demoulding ice tray, the ejector rod is pushed into the bottom of the ice tray box, so that the ejector rod generates an upward force on the bottom of the ice tray mold, so that the ice cubes are ejected from the ice tray. The ejector rod is pushed into the bottom of the ice tray box to generate an upward force on the bottom of the ice tray mold, so that the ice cubes are ejected from the ice tray. The ejection distance is not large, so it is convenient to take ice cubes in the original position and avoid ice cubes jumping around. When only a small amount of ice cubes is needed, it is not necessary to eject all of them at once like the easy-to-release ice trays on the market. The bottom of the ice tray mold is made of soft material, which is convenient for ejection.
[0013] 2. When using the quick demoulding ice tray, the handle of the ice tray mold can be put into the ice tray along the slide in the ice tray box. The rib structure inside the ice tray box not only strengthens the structural strength of the box body, but also supports the ice tray mold. The ice tray box is equipped with an ice tray cover to prevent foreign objects from entering during the freezing process and contaminating the ice cubes. The ice tray cover has a water inlet for easy addition of water and other liquids. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, a quick demoulding ice tray comprises an ice tray mold 1 and an ice tray box 2. The ice tray mold 1 is provided with an ice tray handle 4 on the side, and the ice tray mold 1 is pushed into the box through a slide groove on the side of the ice tray box 2. The ice tray mold 1 is provided with a plurality of ice cube forming cavities, the bottom of which is made of soft material, and a circular hole is provided between the bottoms of the forming cavities, and an ejection rod 3 can be inserted into the circular hole. Pushing the ejection rod 3 inwardly generates a thrust on the bottom of the ice tray mold 1 to cause it to deform, so that the ice cubes are demoulded, and a corresponding number of ice cubes can be squeezed out according to the amount of pushing of the ejection rod 3.
[0019] The ice cube box 2 is provided with an ice cube cover 5 above the ice cube box 2 to prevent foreign matter from falling into the ice cube and causing contamination.
[0020] The ice cube box cover 5 is provided with a circular hole-shaped water inlet 6 for conveniently adding water or other liquids.
[0021] The ice cube box 2 has a rib structure inside to play a supporting role.
[0022] See also Figure 2 The bottom of the ice cube box 2 is provided with an arc-shaped guide rail for the ejection rod, so that the ejection rod can move along a fixed path, thereby avoiding uneven force on two rows of ice cubes and only ejecting one row of ice cubes.
[0023] Working principle: After the ice cubes in the ice cube mold are solidified, use the push rod to push it under the ice cube mold. The bottom of the mold is made of softer food-grade silicone material. As the push rod is pushed in, the bottom of the mold is pushed upward, pushing the ice cubes in the mold slightly upward to complete the demoulding. And the ice cubes will not jump around in the original position.
[0024] In summary, when the quick demoulding ice tray is in use, the ejection rod 3 is pushed into the bottom of the ice tray box 2, so that the ejection rod 3 generates an upward force on the bottom of the ice tray mold 1, so that the ice cubes are ejected from the ice tray. The number of ice cubes ejected is controlled by the different distances of the ejection rod 3. And the ejection distance is not large, so it is convenient to take it in the original position and avoid the ice cubes jumping around. When only a small amount of ice cubes is needed, there is no need to eject them all at once like the quick demoulding ice trays on the market. The bottom of the ice tray mold is made of soft material, which is convenient for ejection.
[0025] When the ice cube mold 1 and the ice cube box 2 are in use, the handle 4 of the ice cube mold can be put into the slide groove of the ice cube box 2. The rib structure inside the ice cube box 2 not only strengthens the structural strength of the box body, but also supports the ice cube mold 1. The ice cube box 2 is provided with an ice cube cover 5 to prevent foreign matter from entering during the freezing process and contaminating the ice cubes. The ice cube cover 5 is provided with a water injection port 6 to facilitate the addition of water and other liquids.
