DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] If certain words are used in the specification and claims to refer to specific components, those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. The specification and claims do not use differences in names as a way to distinguish components, but use differences in components' functions as the criteria for distinction. For example, "including" mentioned throughout the specification and claims is an open term, so it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to"; "substantially" means that those skilled in the art can solve technical problems within a certain error range and basically achieve technical effects.

[0032] See also Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides an ice scoop 100, which is applied to an ice maker 200. The ice maker 200 can be arranged in a body of a refrigeration device for making and storing ice. For example, the ice maker 200 can be arranged in a refrigerator, a freezer, and the like. In addition, the ice maker can also be a household ice maker.

[0033] This specification does not limit the specific structure of the ice maker 200. As an example, the ice maker 200 may include structures such as a water pipe, an ice making container, and an ice storage box. The ice making process of the ice maker 200 may include the following steps: the water pipe supplies water to the ice making container, ice is made by cooling the water stored in the ice making container, and the ice made by the ice making container is moved to the ice storage box. This specification does not limit the specific type of the ice maker 200. For example, the ice maker 200 may be an automatic ice maker and a manual ice maker. Among them, the automatic ice maker can automatically perform the above-mentioned ice making process, while the manual ice maker requires the user to manually perform the above-mentioned operation. Alternatively, the ice maker 200 may also be a semi-automatic ice maker. For example, the above-mentioned water supply process can be manually performed by the user.

[0034] In this embodiment, the ice maker 200 may include a body 201 and the above-mentioned ice scoop 100, and the above-mentioned water pipe, ice making container, ice storage box and other structures may be installed in the body 201. The ice scoop 100 is connected to the body 201 or placed in the body 201, and the ice scoop 100 is used by the user to take ice cubes in the ice maker 200.

[0035] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be internal communication between two elements, or it can be only surface contact. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] Please also see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the ice scoop 100 may include a scoop body 10, a scoop handle 30, an adsorbent 50, and a cover body 70. The scoop body 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 12, the scoop handle 30 is connected to the scoop body 10, and the scoop handle 30 is provided with a mounting cavity 32. The mounting cavity 32 is communicated with the receiving cavity 12, and the mounting cavity 32 and the receiving cavity 12 are located on the same side of the ice scoop 100. The adsorbent 50 is provided in the mounting cavity 32, and the adsorbent 50 is used to be adsorbed on the ice maker 200. The cover body 70 is provided in the mounting cavity 32 and covers the adsorbent 50, and the side of the cover body 70 facing away from the adsorbent 50 is flush with the side of the scoop handle 30.

[0037] Therefore, in this embodiment, the adsorbent 50 is disposed in the spoon handle 30, and the ice scoop 100 can be adsorbed on the surface of the body 201 of the ice maker 200 through the adsorbent 50, which is convenient for storage, easy to use, and can save space, and can also prevent the user from placing it at will after use and causing it to be lost. The cover body 70 is connected to the spoon handle 30 and covers the adsorbent 50, achieving the function of protecting and limiting the adsorbent 50, and improving the installation stability of the adsorbent 50. The side of the cover body 70 facing away from the adsorbent 50 is flush with the side of the spoon handle 30, which improves the comfort of the user holding the spoon handle 30.

[0038] In this embodiment, the ice scoop 100 has a length direction X (eg Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the scoop body 10 and the scoop handle 30 are arranged along the length direction X. The scoop body 10 is used as the ice scoop 100 for taking ice cubes, and has a receiving cavity 12 for receiving ice cubes. The middle part of the scoop body 10 is recessed to form the receiving cavity 12. In order to facilitate shoveling ice cubes from the ice maker 200 into the receiving cavity 12, one end of the scoop body 10 away from the scoop handle 30 extends away from the scoop handle 30 to form a guiding slope 14. The guiding slope 14 is inclined relative to the length direction X. On the one hand, the guiding slope 14 improves the ice scooping ability of the ice scoop 100. On the other hand, the guiding slope 14, as a part of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 12, increases the ice holding capacity of the scoop body 10.

[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that terms such as "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", and "inside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only used to simplify the description of the present application and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on the present application.

[0040] The spoon handle 30 is connected to the spoon body 10. This specification does not limit the specific connection method between the spoon handle 30 and the spoon body 10. For example, the spoon handle 30 can be integrally formed with the spoon body 10, and the spoon body 10 and the spoon handle 30 can be manufactured by injection molding. The spoon handle 30 and the spoon body 10 can also be manufactured separately and then connected together by fasteners. In this embodiment, the spoon handle 30 is integrally formed with the spoon body 10, and the wall thickness of the ice scoop 100 is 2.5 mm. The spoon handle 30 serves as the gripped portion of the ice scoop 100. The spoon handle 30 extends along the length direction X. The spoon handle 30 may include a bottom wall 36 and two side walls 38. The two side walls 38 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the bottom wall 36 and extend along the depth direction Z relative to the bottom wall 36. The two side walls 38 are relatively spaced and define the installation cavity 32 together with the bottom wall 36. The “depth direction Z” is the depth direction of the ice scoop 100 or the thickness direction of the ice scoop 100 , and the depth direction Z intersects with the length direction X (eg, perpendicular to it).

[0041] The mounting cavity 32 of the scoop handle 30 and the accommodating cavity 12 of the scoop body 10 are located on the same side of the ice scoop 100 , and the mounting cavity 32 and the accommodating cavity 12 are interconnected, which improves the structural strength of the ice scoop 100 and reduces the complexity of preparing the ice scoop 100 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the cover 70 is disposed in the mounting cavity 32, and is used to protect and fix the adsorbent 50. Specifically, the cover 70 is embedded between the two side walls 38, and the surface of the cover 70 away from the bottom wall 36 is flush with the end surfaces of the two side walls 38 away from the bottom wall 36. The flush end surfaces of the cover 70 and the side walls 38 increase the surface flatness of the spoon handle 30, increase the user's gripping experience of holding the spoon handle 30, and improve the use experience.

[0043] Please also see Figure 4 and Figure 5The cover 70 includes a body 72 and a positioning portion 74. The body 72 is embedded between the two side walls 38, and the body 72 is detachably connected to the spoon handle 30. The present specification does not limit the specific shape of the body 72. The body 72 can be in the shape of a rectangular cover or a semicircular cover. In this embodiment, the body 72 is an arched cover. In order to conform to ergonomics and improve the grip experience, the side surface of the body 72 away from the bottom wall 36 is roughly flat and flush with the end surface of the side wall 38. The two ends of the body 72 are bent toward the bottom wall 36 relative to the side surface of the body 72 away from the bottom wall 36 to form an arched shape of the body 72. The size of the body 72 along the length direction X is greater than or equal to 30 mm and less than or equal to 40 mm. The present specification does not limit the size of the body 72 along the length direction X. For example, the size of the body 72 along the length direction X can be 30 mm, 32 mm, 34 mm, 36 mm, 38 mm or 40 mm, etc. Maintaining the length of the body 72 (the length of the body 72 along the length direction X) within the above range is more ergonomic and further improves the gripping experience of the ice scoop 100 .

[0044] The positioning portion 74 is connected to the side of the body 72 facing the adsorbent 50, and the adsorbent 50 is clamped on the body 72 through the positioning portion 74. The positioning portion 74 protrudes relative to the surface of the body 72. When the cover 70 is buckled on the spoon handle 30, the positioning portion 74 clamps the adsorbent 50. This specification does not limit the specific structure of the positioning portion 74. For example, the positioning portion 74 can be a positioning ring, and the adsorbent 50 is embedded in the positioning ring; the positioning portion 74 can also be a positioning column, and the positioning column is inserted in the adsorbent 50 for positioning. Or, the positioning portion 74 can be a plurality of positioning protrusions used in combination. In this embodiment, the number of positioning portions 74 is multiple, and the plurality of positioning portions 74 are arranged along the circumference of the adsorbent 50, and the adsorbent 50 is embedded between the plurality of positioning portions 74. The positioning portion 74 has a simple structure, and the positioning and limiting effects are reliable. The plurality of positioning portions 74 can limit the adsorbent 50 in multiple directions. When the adsorbent 50 is clamped between the plurality of positioning portions 74, it is not easy to loosen or shift.

[0045] This specification does not limit the specific shape of the multiple positioning portions 74. For example, the multiple positioning portions 74 can be multiple positioning protrusions, which are distributed circumferentially around the periphery of the adsorbent 50 and abut against the peripheral wall of the adsorbent 50. The positioning portion 74 can also be an irregular protrusion that conforms to the shape of the adsorbent 50. As an example. There are two positioning portions 74, and the two positioning portions 74 are respectively located on opposite sides of the adsorbent 50, and the positioning portions 74 are bent along the circumference of the adsorbent 50. For example, if the end of the adsorbent 50 facing the cover body 70 is a rectangular end, the positioning portion 74 can be a protrusion bent at a right angle, and the two positioning portions 74 are respectively engaged at the two opposite vertices of the rectangular end of the adsorbent 50. If the end of the adsorbent 50 facing the cover body 70 is cylindrical, the positioning portion 74 can be an arc-shaped protrusion, and the two positioning portions 74 are respectively clamped on the opposite sides of the cylindrical end of the adsorbent 50.

[0046] The present specification does not limit the specific type of the adsorbent 50. For example, the adsorbent 50 may be a suction cup, one end of which is located in the mounting cavity 32, and the other end (the disc-shaped end) extends out of the scoop handle 30. When in use, the user presses the suction cup hard to squeeze out the air between the inside of the suction cup and the surface of the body 201, so that a negative pressure is formed inside the suction cup, so that the ice scoop 100 is adsorbed on the surface of the body 201 through the adsorbent 50. In this embodiment, the adsorbent 50 is a magnet, and the adsorbent 50 is accommodated in the mounting cavity 32. The body 201 of the ice maker 200 is made of a magnetic metal material, for example, the body 201 can be made of a steel plate. The adsorbent 50 can attract the body 201. When storing the ice scoop 100, the user holds the ice scoop 100 close to the body 201, and the ice scoop 100 is automatically adsorbed to the surface of the body 201 under the action of the adsorbent 50. The operation is simple, the storage is convenient, and it is also easy to take.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bottom wall 36 of the spoon handle 30 may be provided with a drainage hole 33, which connects the mounting cavity 32 with the outside. If water enters the mounting cavity 32, it can be discharged through the drainage hole 33, reducing the possibility of water flow corroding the adsorbent 50 and increasing the service life of the adsorbent 50. In order to further increase the service life of the adsorbent 50, the surface of the adsorbent 50 (magnet) may be nickel-plated to achieve a corrosion-resistant effect.

[0048] In order to improve the installation stability of the adsorbent 50, in the present embodiment, the adsorbent 50 can be firstly bonded to the body 72 by adhesive, and the positioning portion 74 further limits the adsorbent 50, which greatly improves the installation stability of the adsorbent 50. In some examples, the ice scoop 100 may also include a supporting portion 80, which is disposed at the bottom of the installation cavity 32. Specifically, the supporting portion 80 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 36. One end of the supporting portion 80 facing away from the bottom wall 36 is supported against the side of the adsorbent 50 facing away from the body 72, so that the adsorbent 50 is clamped between the supporting portion 80 and the body 72. The supporting portion 80 and the body 72 jointly limit the displacement of the adsorbent 50 along the depth direction Z, which further improves the installation stability of the adsorbent 50.

[0049] It should be understood that, in this specification, “an element abuts against another element” should be understood as the abutment between the two elements can be direct contact or indirect (for example, when there is a centering element between the two elements). For example, the other element is mounted on the centering element, and the certain element can abut against the centering element, thereby “abutting against the other element”.

[0050] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 This specification does not limit the specific shape and number of the abutting portion 80. The abutting portion 80 may be block-shaped, plate-shaped, column-shaped, etc., and the number of the abutting portions 80 may be one or more. In this embodiment, the abutting portion 80 is a abutting plate. One end of the abutting portion 80 connected to the bottom wall 36 is arc-shaped to fit the shape of the bottom wall 36. The abutting portion 80 is flush with one end of the adsorbent 50 to increase the contact area with the adsorbent 50 and improve the abutment stability. There are multiple abutting portions 80, and the multiple abutting portions 80 are distributed on both sides of the adsorbent 50.

[0051] The ice scoop 100 is attached to the body 201 (eg Figure 1 When the ice scoop 100 is provided with a mounting cavity 32, one side thereof is attached to the surface of the body 201, that is, the adsorbent 50 is adsorbed to the body 201 through the cover 70. Figure 7 The abutting portion 80 abuts against the adsorbent 50, so that the adsorbent 50 fits as closely as possible to the cover 70, reducing the distance between the adsorbent 50 and the body 201 when adsorbed on the body 201, and improving the connection stability between the two. In addition, the above-mentioned "the side of the cover 70 away from the adsorbent 50 is flush with the side of the handle 30" makes the surface of the side of the ice scoop 100 close to the body 201 flush and can fit the body 201, further improving the connection stability between the ice scoop 100 and the body 201.

[0052] The cover 70 is detachably connected to the spoon handle 30. In this embodiment, the cover 70 further includes a connector 76 connected to the body 72. The ice scoop 100 further includes a fitting 90. The fitting 90 is disposed in the mounting cavity 32 and connected to the spoon handle 30. The connector 76 and the fitting 90 are detachably connected. This specification does not limit the specific connection method between the connector 76 and the fitting 90. For example, the connector 76 and the fitting 90 can be connected by a buckle structure or by fasteners such as screws and bolts. One of the fitting 90 and the connector 76 is a retaining groove 92, and the other of the fitting 90 and the connector 76 is a buckle 761. The buckle 761 is retained in the retaining groove 92.

[0053] As an example, the connecting member 76 is connected to the side of the body 72 facing the bottom wall 36, and a protrusion is provided on one side of the connecting member 76 to form a buckle 761. The matching member 90 can be fixedly connected to the bottom wall 36 and the side wall 38, and the matching member 90 is provided with a clamping groove 92, and the clamping groove 92 penetrates the matching member 90 along the length direction X. When the cover 70 is covered in the spoon handle 30, the connecting member 76 moves toward the matching member 90 until the connecting member 76 and the matching member 90 partially overlap and the buckle 761 is embedded in the clamping groove 92, so that the connection between the cover 70 and the spoon handle 30 is completed. The installation of the cover 70 and the spoon handle 30 is simple and fast. If the adsorbent 50 fails, the user can disassemble the cover 70 by himself for replacement, which is very convenient.

[0054] The present specification does not limit the specific number of the connecting member 76 and the matching member 90. The number of the connecting member 76 and the matching member 90 can be multiple. As an example, the number of the connecting member 76 is two, and the two connecting members 76 are respectively located at the two ends of the body 72 (located on both sides of the positioning portion 74). Correspondingly, the number of the matching members 90 can also be two, and the two matching members 90 are arranged one-to-one with the two connecting members 76. The two connecting members 76 and the two matching members 90 improve the connection stability between the cover body 70 and the spoon handle 30.

[0055] In order to further improve the connection stability between the cover body 70 and the spoon handle 30, the cover body 70 may further include a connection protrusion 78, and the spoon handle 30 may further include a matching protrusion 94. The connection protrusion 78 is connected to the body 72 and protrudes relative to the body 72. The connection protrusion 78 is located between the two connecting members 76. There are two of them, and the two connection protrusions 78 are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the body 72. The matching protrusion 94 is connected to the side wall 38 and protrudes relative to the side wall 38. The matching protrusion 94 is located between the two matching members 90. There are two matching protrusions 94, and the two matching protrusions 94 are respectively located on the two side walls 38. The two matching protrusions 94 are arranged one by one with the two connection protrusions 78. One end of the connection protrusion 78 away from the body 72 is bent. When the cover body 70 covers the spoon handle 30, the bent end of the connection protrusion 78 abuts against the side of the corresponding matching protrusion 94 facing the bottom wall 36. The matching protrusion 94 and the connecting protrusion 78 further improve the connection stability between the cover body 70 and the spoon handle 30 .

[0056] The cover body 70 further includes a support portion 79. When the connecting member 76 and the matching member 90 are connected, the support portion 79 cooperates with the matching member 90 to support the cover body 70. Specifically, the support portion 79 is connected to one side of the connecting member 76, and a first notch 792 is provided on the side of the support portion 79 facing the bottom wall 36. The matching member 90 is opposite to the support portion 79, and a second notch 96 is provided on the side of the matching member 90 facing the body 72. When the buckle 761 is embedded in the holding groove 92, the first notch 792 and the second notch 96 are engaged with each other so that the bottom wall of the first notch 792 and the bottom wall of the second notch 96 are held against each other. The support portion 79 and the matching member 90 are engaged through the first notch 792 and the second notch 96, and cooperate to support the cover body 70, prevent the cover body 70 from warping and deforming, and improve the stability of the ice scoop 100 and the service life of the cover body 70.

[0057] The body 72 is extended along the length direction X, and two support portions 79 are provided. The two support portions 79 are respectively located at two ends of the body 72, and the two matching pieces 90 are arranged along the length direction X and are provided one-to-one with the two support portions 79.
