[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.
[0043] Combination Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a drawer 10 for making ice, comprising: a drawer body 108, a partition member 101 and a temperature control member 102. The drawer body 108 includes a storage space 103. The partition member 101 is arranged on the drawer body 108, and the partition member 101 can be controlled to move relative to the drawer body 108 to separate the storage space 103 into a first space and a second space. The temperature control member 102 is arranged on the bottom wall of the drawer body 108, and the temperature control member 102 can be controlled to open. The temperature control member is used to change the temperature of the first space and / or the second space.
[0044] The drawer 10 for making ice provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a partition member 101 on the drawer body 108, so as to realize that when the partition member 101 is raised, the storage space 103 of the drawer body 108 is separated into a first space and a second space. So as to make ice cubes in the first space and make smoothies in the second space, or to make ice cubes in the second space and make smoothies in the first space. A temperature control member 102 is provided on the bottom wall of the drawer body 108, so as to realize that the temperature of the first space and / or the second space can be changed by controlling the temperature control member 102, so as to form ice cubes and / or smoothies in the ice making space 201.
[0045] Specifically, according to the target ice-making type, the temperature control member 102 is arranged on the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the first space and / or the second space. That is, the temperature control member 102 is arranged on the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the space where ice smoothies need to be made.
[0046] Optionally, the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 has a strip groove. The strip groove is located between the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the first space and the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the second space. The fixed end of the partition member 101 is arranged on the bottom wall of the strip groove, and the movable end of the partition member 101 can be controlled to move relative to the drawer body 108. When the partition member 101 is lowered, the partition member 101 is accommodated in the strip groove.
[0047] Optionally, the partition member 101 includes a telescopic rod and a partition plate. The fixed end of the telescopic rod is arranged on the bottom wall of the strip groove. The movable end of the telescopic rod can move relative to the drawer body 108. The partition plate is arranged on the movable end of the telescopic rod to drive the partition plate to move when the movable end of the telescopic rod moves.
[0048] Specifically, when the partition plate rises with the moving end of the telescopic rod, the opposite end surfaces of the partition plate form the side walls of the first space and the second space respectively.
[0049] Specifically, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the partition plate is located between the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the first space and the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the second space.
[0050] It is understandable that in the case where the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a device, the device can be provided on the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the first space and the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the second space, respectively. A strip groove is formed between the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the first space and the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 corresponding to the second space, so that the partition plate is provided in the strip groove.
[0051] Optionally, the temperature control component 102 is located on a bottom wall corresponding to the second space.
[0052] In this embodiment, a temperature control element 102 is provided on the bottom wall corresponding to the second space, and the temperature is adjusted by using the temperature control element 102 to increase the temperature in the second space, thereby forming a smoothie in the second space.
[0053] Specifically, using the ice-making drawer 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, ice cubes can be made in the first space, or ice cubes can be made in both the first space and the second space. Smoothies can be formed in the second space.
[0054] For example, by setting the temperature control element 102 so that the entire drawer body 108 is at a temperature capable of making ice cubes (e.g., -18°C), the temperature in the first space is at a temperature capable of making ice cubes, and the temperature in the second space is higher than the temperature in the first space under the action of the temperature control element 102, so that the water in the second space is not completely condensed into ice, so as to achieve the production of smoothies.
[0055] Optionally, the partition member 101 includes a stainless steel partition member 101. In this way, the first space and the second space can have a heat insulation effect, reduce the mutual temperature influence between the first space and the second space, and reduce the problem that the temperature control member 102 of the bottom wall of the second space needs a higher temperature to increase the temperature of the second space due to the lower temperature of the first space, thereby reducing energy consumption.
[0056] Optionally, the partition member 101 is a double-layer partition, and a vacuum layer is formed between the double-layer partitions to further reduce the mutual temperature influence between the first space and the second space.
[0057] Optionally, the temperature control component 102 includes a heating plate.
[0058] In this embodiment, by providing a heating plate, the uniformity of heating the second space can be improved, so that the entire second space is at the same temperature, and the inside of the slush formed in the second space is in the same state. The problem of a part of the material in the second space forming ice cubes with higher hardness is reduced, and the practicality of the drawer 10 for making ice is improved.
[0059] Optionally, the temperature control method of the heating plate includes a step-by-step heating method.
[0060] In this embodiment, the temperature control method of the heating plate includes a step-by-step heating method, so that the temperature in the second space rises in a step-by-step manner. The materials in the second space are initially at a lower ambient temperature, so that the materials just placed in the second space can be quickly cooled down to speed up the production of smoothies. When the temperature in the second space rises in a step-by-step manner, part of the low-temperature materials in the second space gradually condense into ice to form a mixture of solid and liquid to make smoothies. Through the step-by-step heating method, the impact of temperature changes on the drawer body 108 can also be reduced, and the problems of cracking and deformation of the drawer body 108 caused by drastic temperature changes can be reduced.
[0061] Specifically, the temperature control element 102 makes the temperature range of the second space between -12°C and 0°C, and the temperature of the temperature control element 102 rises in a step-like manner. The step-like rising temperature allows water and materials to gradually adapt to the temperature during the process of forming the smoothie. Different temperatures and different production times can often make the smoothie have different tastes. The specific temperature can be set according to needs.
[0062] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, the ice-making drawer 10 further includes a vibrator 104. The vibrator 104 is disposed on the bottom wall of the drawer body 108 and is located at the bottom wall corresponding to the first space and / or the bottom wall corresponding to the second space. The vibrator 104 is located above the temperature control member 102. The vibrator 104 can be controlled to be turned on to vibrate the storage space 103.
[0063] In this embodiment, a vibrator 104 is provided so that when the ice cubes need to be taken out, the vibrator 104 is controlled to be turned on to generate vibration, thereby separating the ice cubes from the side walls of the drawer body 108 through vibration, thereby facilitating the removal of the ice cubes and improving the practicality of the drawer 10 for making ice.
[0064] Specifically, when the first space is used for making ice cubes, the vibrator 104 corresponding to the first space is turned on to separate the ice cubes in the first space from the side wall of the first space. When the second space is used for making ice cubes, the vibrator 104 corresponding to the second space is turned on to separate the ice cubes in the second space from the side wall of the second space. When both the first space and the second space are used for making ice cubes, the vibrators 104 corresponding to the first space and the second space are turned on to separate the ice cubes in the first space from the side wall of the first space and the ice cubes in the second space from the side wall of the second space.
[0065] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the ice-making drawer 10 further includes a stirrer 105 . The stirrer 105 is disposed above the storage space 103 , and includes a stirring end that can be controlled to move relative to the storage space 103 to stir the material in the storage space 103 .
[0066] In this embodiment, a stirrer 105 is provided to stir the materials in the storage space 103 using the stirring end of the stirrer 105. When there are multiple materials in the storage space 103, the stirrer 105 can mix the multiple materials in the storage space 103 to make ice cubes or smoothies with different flavors.
[0067] Specifically, when making a smoothie, the blender 105 can blend the prepared smoothie to break the ice cubes condensed inside the smoothie, making the volume of the condensed ice cubes smaller, making the smoothie taste more delicate, and improving the practicality of the drawer.
[0068] For example, if passion fruit flavored ice cubes are to be made, passion fruit jam and water are first injected into the storage space 103. The stirring end of the stirrer 105 is controlled to move downward, so that the passion fruit jam and water are stirred with the stirring end of the stirrer 105 to fully blend the passion fruit jam and water. Then the stirring end of the stirrer 105 is controlled to move upward to continue making ice cubes. At this time, the various materials are fully blended to obtain passion fruit flavored ice cubes.
[0069] If passion fruit flavored smoothie is to be made, passion fruit jam and water can be first injected into the storage space 103. The stirring end of the stirrer 105 is controlled to move downward, so that the passion fruit jam and water are stirred with the stirring end of the stirrer 105 to fully blend the passion fruit jam and water. Then the stirring end of the stirrer 105 is controlled to move upward, and the temperature control element 102 is controlled to be turned on at the same time to increase the ambient temperature of the material, so as to make passion fruit flavored smoothie.
[0070] Water can also be first injected into the storage space 103, and the temperature control element 102 can be controlled to be turned on at the same time to increase the ambient temperature of the material, so as to achieve the production of a smoothie with only water. Further, passion fruit jam can be injected into the storage space 103, and the stirring end of the stirrer 105 can be controlled to move downward, so that the passion fruit jam and the smoothie with only water can be stirred with the stirring end of the stirrer 105, so that the two are fully mixed, so as to achieve the production of a smoothie with passion fruit flavor.
[0071] It is understandable that the present solution does not limit the specific injected material. The material can be jam, pulp, juice or yogurt, and can be used to make ice cubes or smoothies with the corresponding flavors of the material.
[0072] For example, the embodiment of the present disclosure can also control the stirring end of the stirrer 105 to move downward after injecting the material into the storage space 103, so as to always use the stirring end of the stirrer 105 to stir the material in the storage space 103. This allows the material in the storage space 103 to be fully mixed, and it is possible to produce food such as "fried ice" and "fried yogurt" currently available on the market.
[0073] Optionally, combined Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the drawer for making ice further includes: an ice tray structure 109. The ice tray structure 109 is arranged on the bottom wall of the drawer body or is configured as the bottom wall of the drawer body.
[0074] In this embodiment, an ice tray structure 109 is provided to form an ice tray structure on the bottom wall of the drawer body.
[0075] Optionally, the ice tray structure 109 includes: a base 1091 and a partition assembly 1093. A partition structure 1092 is provided on the base 1091 to partition the surface of the base 1091 in a set layout. And the partition structure 1092 has a certain depth in the thickness direction of the base 1091. The partition assembly 1093 is adapted to be arranged in the partition structure 1092. The partition assembly 1093 can be raised and lowered relative to the base 1091, and when raised, it can protrude from the surface of the base 1091 to cooperate with the surface of the base 1091 to form an ice tray structure. When lowered, it can be accommodated in the partition structure 1092 to release the ice cubes in the ice tray.
[0076] In this embodiment, the partition assembly 1093 can be raised and lowered relative to the base 1091, so that when the partition assembly 1093 is raised, the partition assembly 1093 and the base 1091 form an ice tray structure to achieve the production of ice cubes. When the partition assembly 1093 is lowered, the partition assembly 1093 is separated from the ice cubes that have been produced, and the upper end surface of the ice tray structure 109 can form an ice storage space to facilitate the demoulding and storage of ice cubes. When there is no need to make ice and no ice cubes need to be stored, the partition assembly 1093 can be placed in the partition structure 1092, reducing the space occupied by the ice tray structure 109 and improving the practicality of the drawer.
[0077] Optionally, the bottom wall of the drawer body includes a first ice tray structure 109 and a second ice tray structure 109. The first ice tray structure 109 corresponds to the first space, and the second ice tray structure 109 corresponds to the second space. A strip groove is provided between the first ice tray structure 109 and the second ice tray structure 109, and the partition member is arranged in the strip groove, and the depth of the strip groove is slightly greater than the depth of the partition structure 1092. When the partition member is lowered, the partition member is accommodated in the strip groove.
[0078] Specifically, the first ice tray structure 109 and the second ice tray structure 109 can be opened separately or simultaneously to make ice cubes in the first space and / or the second space as needed.
[0079] Specifically, the height of the partition member is slightly greater than the height of the partition assembly 1093. When making ice cubes or smoothies, the amount of water injected into the drawer body will not be much, and the partition member can reduce the flow of materials from the first space to the second space, or the flow of materials from the second space to the first space.
[0080] Optionally, when the partition assembly 1093 is lowered, the upper end surface of the partition assembly 1093 and the upper end surface of the base 1091 form a planar structure. In this way, when the ice tray structure 109 is not needed, objects can be placed on the ice tray structure 109, thereby improving the practicality of the ice tray structure 109. It is also convenient to clean the surface of the ice tray structure 109, reducing cleaning dead corners, thereby improving the practicality of the ice tray structure 109.
[0081] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, the base 1091 includes: a first plate body 1094 and a second plate body 1095. The second plate body 1095 is fixedly connected to the first plate body 1094 and is located above the first plate body 1094. A partition groove is provided on the second plate body 1095 to divide the second plate body 1095 into a set layout. The partition groove and the corresponding partial space below it constitute a partition structure 1092. The upper plate surface of the second plate body 1095 is constructed as the bottom wall of the storage space. The partition assembly 1093 is adapted to be arranged in the partition structure 1092 and connected to the first plate body 1094, and the partition assembly 1093 can be raised and lowered relative to the second plate body 1095. When the partition assembly 1093 is raised, the partition assembly 1093 and the second plate body 1095 form an ice cube structure. When the partition assembly 1093 is lowered, the partition assembly 1093 is located between the first plate body 1094 and the second plate body 1095 and is accommodated in the partition structure 1092 to release the ice cubes in the ice tray, and an ice storage space is formed above the second plate body 1095.
[0082] In this embodiment, a first plate body 1094 and a second plate body 1095 are provided, and a partition groove is provided on the second plate body 1095 so that the partition groove and the corresponding partial space below it form a partition structure 1092 so that the partition assembly 1093 can be accommodated in the partition structure 1092.
[0083] Specifically, when ice cubes need to be made, the partition assembly 1093 is controlled to rise relative to the second plate 1095, so that the upper end surface of the partition assembly 1093 protrudes from the second plate 1095, so that the portion of the partition assembly 1093 protruding from the second plate 1095 and the upper end surface of the second plate 1095 form an ice grid structure, so that water is injected into the ice grid structure to make ice cubes. Further, the partition assembly 1093 is controlled to be lowered relative to the second plate 1095, so that the partition assembly 1093 is separated from the made ice cubes, thereby realizing the demoulding of the ice cubes, thereby improving the practicality of the ice grid structure 109.
[0084] When it is not necessary to make ice cubes, the partition assembly 1093 is placed in the partition structure 1092 to reduce the space occupied by the ice tray structure 109 and improve the practicality of the ice tray structure 109 .
