[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present application and combined with the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present application, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An ice box includes a box body 1 and an ice tray 2. The inner wall of the box body 1 is provided with two symmetrically arranged slide grooves 4. The ice tray 2 is provided with two sliders 5 that match the two slide grooves 4. The two sliders 5 are arranged in a non-centerline area of the ice tray 2 and are located on the same side of the centerline of the ice tray 2. The sliders 5 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 4, so that the ice tray 2 can slide relative to the box body 1 and can also rotate relative to the box body 1.
[0034] It can be understood that when ice is needed, the ice making tray 2 is placed flat on the box body 1 (see Figure 1 ).like Figure 2As shown, when ice-removing is required, the user can lift the ice tray 2 away from the side of the two sliders 5, push the ice tray 2 to slide along the slide groove 4 to a predetermined position, and then flip the ice tray 2 so that the ice cubes in the ice tray 2 can fall into the box body 1, ensuring hygienic and labor-saving ice-removing. In addition, when the ice tray 2 rotates, the slider 5 is the rotation center. Since the slider 5 is arranged on one side of the ice tray 2 deviating from the center line, most of the ice tray 2 is located outside the box body 1 during rotation, thereby effectively avoiding or reducing the interference caused by the existence of stored objects in the box body 1 on the flipping and ice-removing of the ice tray 2.
[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the two sliders 5 are asymmetrically arranged on the ice tray 2, so that when the ice tray 2 rotates relative to the box body 1, the connecting line of the two sliders 5 intersects with the rotation direction of the ice tray 2, thereby twisting the ice tray 2 during the rotation process, so that the ice tray 2 is deformed and the ice falls off. In addition, the two asymmetrically arranged sliders 5 can also provide support for the ice tray 2 to be placed flat on the box body 1.
[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the box body 1 is provided with a slot 10 connected to the slide 4, and the slot 10 is provided on a side parallel to the sliding direction of the slide 4. The slider 5 is provided with a block 6 that can be movably accommodated in the slot 10 or / and the slide 4, and the block 6 can selectively abut against the inner wall of the slide 4. It can be understood that when the ice tray 2 slides relative to the box body 1, the block 6 slides in the slot 10 or in the slot 10 and the slide 4 driven by the slider 5 to prevent the ice tray 2 from slipping during the sliding process. When the ice tray 2 rotates relative to the box body 1, the block 6 will rotate with the slider 5 to abut against the inner wall of the slide 4, so that the ice tray 2 can no longer continue to rotate relative to the box body 1. At this time, if the ice tray 2 continues to be pressed, the ice tray 2 will be deformed under the pressure to achieve ice removal.
[0037] In some other embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the ice box also includes a clip 3, which is arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1 and located between the two slide grooves 4. The ice making tray 2 can selectively abut against the clip 3. It can be understood that Figure 1 As shown, when the ice tray 2 is placed flat on the box body 1, the ice tray 2 abuts against the side of the clip 3 facing away from the bottom of the box body 1, so that the clip 3 and the two sliders 5 work together to form a stable support for the ice tray 2 to facilitate ice making. Figure 2 As shown, the ice tray 2 is flipped until the ice tray 2 abuts against the side of the bottom surface of the card strip 3 facing the box body 1, so that the ice tray 2 can no longer rotate relative to the box body 1. At this time, if pressure is continued to be applied to the ice tray 2, the ice tray 2 will be deformed under the action of pressure, thereby achieving ice removal.
[0038] In some other embodiments, Figure 8As shown, the two sliding blocks 5 can also be symmetrically arranged on the ice making tray 2.
[0039] In some other embodiments, Figure 9-11 As shown, the card slots 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the slide slot 4 , and the sliding direction of the card slots 10 is parallel to the sliding direction of the slide slot 4 .
[0040] In some embodiments, Fig.12 As shown, the box body 1 includes a middle frame 11 and an ice storage box 12, the middle frame 11 is arranged in the ice storage box 12, and the two slide grooves 4 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the middle frame 11. The arrangement of the middle frame 11 makes the ice making tray 2 disconnected from the ice storage box 12, further facilitating ice making in the ice making tray 2.
[0041] It can be understood that the clamping strip 3 disposed on the box body 1 as described above can be correspondingly disposed on the inner wall of the middle frame 11 or the inner wall of the ice storage box 12, which will not be described in detail here.
[0042] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, the ice box further includes two fixed grooves 7 symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1, each fixed groove 7 is connected to a corresponding slide groove 4, and the fixed groove 7 is arranged obliquely relative to the slide groove 4. It can be understood that the fixed groove 7 is arranged obliquely relative to the slide groove 4, and when pressure is applied to the ice making tray 2, it can prevent the slider 5 from sliding out of the fixed groove 7 and returning to the slide groove 4, so as to stabilize the position of the ice making tray 2 and ensure smooth ice removal.
[0043] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, the sliding direction of the slide groove 4 is arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the box body 1 .
[0044] Of course, in some other embodiments, the sliding direction of the slide groove 4 can also be set perpendicular to the bottom surface of the box body 1.
[0045] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, the ice tray 2 is provided with a flap 8, which is provided on the side of the ice tray 2 away from the two sliders 5 and is located between the two sliders 5. It can be understood that the user can avoid direct contact with the ice tray 2 by rotating the ice tray 2 with the help of the flap 8, further ensuring clean and hygienic ice removal. In addition, the flap 8 can also abut against the box body 1 to form a stable support for the ice tray 2 together with the two sliders 5, so as to facilitate ice making.
[0046] In some embodiments, Fig.15 As shown, the ice box also includes a cover 9, which is arranged on the box body 1. The arrangement of the cover 9 can play the role of dust prevention and odor contamination.
[0047] Embodiment 1
[0048] See also Figure 1-Figure 3An ice box includes a box body 1 and an ice tray 2. The inner wall of the box body 1 is provided with two symmetrically arranged slide grooves 4. The ice tray 2 is provided with two sliders 5 that match the two slide grooves 4. The two sliders 5 are arranged in a non-centerline area of the ice tray 2 and are located on the same side of the centerline of the ice tray 2. The sliders 5 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 4, so that the ice tray 2 can slide relative to the box body 1 and can also rotate relative to the box body 1.
[0049] It can be understood that when ice is needed, the ice making tray 2 is placed flat on the box body 1 (see Figure 1 ).like Figure 2 As shown, when ice-removing is required, the user can lift the ice tray 2 away from the side of the two sliders 5, push the ice tray 2 to slide along the slide groove 4 to a predetermined position, and then flip the ice tray 2 so that the ice cubes in the ice tray 2 can fall into the box body 1, ensuring hygienic and labor-saving ice-removing. In addition, when the ice tray 2 rotates, the slider 5 is the rotation center. Since the slider 5 is arranged on one side of the ice tray 2 deviating from the center line, most of the ice tray 2 is located outside the box body 1 during rotation, thereby effectively avoiding or reducing the interference caused by the existence of stored objects in the box body 1 on the flipping and ice-removing of the ice tray 2.
[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the two sliders 5 are asymmetrically arranged on the ice tray 2. Thus, when the ice tray 2 rotates relative to the box body 1, the connecting line of the two sliders 5 intersects with the rotation direction of the ice tray 2, thereby twisting the ice tray 2 during the rotation process, causing the ice tray 2 to deform and remove ice. In addition, the two asymmetrically arranged sliders 5 can also provide support for the ice tray 2 to be placed flat on the box body 1.
[0051] Therefore, when defrosting, the user can lift the ice tray 2 away from one side of the two sliders 5, push the ice tray 2 to slide along the slide groove 4 to a predetermined position, and then flip the ice tray 2 so that the loose ice cubes in the ice tray 2 can fall into the box body 1, thereby ensuring that defrosting is hygienic and labor-saving; at the same time, in the process of flipping the ice tray 2, since the connecting line of the two sliders 5 intersects with the rotation direction of the ice tray 2, the ice tray 2 undergoes a torsional deformation during the rotation process, thereby further achieving defrosting and ensuring the defrosting effect.
[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the box body 1 is provided with a slot 10 connected to the slide 4, and the slot 10 is provided on a side parallel to the sliding direction of the slide 4. The slider 5 is provided with a block 6 that can be movably accommodated in the slot 10 or / and the slide 4, and the block 6 can selectively abut against the inner wall of the slide 4. It can be understood that when the ice tray 2 slides relative to the box body 1, the block 6 slides in the slot 10 or in the slot 10 and the slide 4 under the drive of the slider 5 to prevent the ice tray 2 from slipping during the sliding process. When the ice tray 2 rotates relative to the box body 1, the block 6 will rotate with the slider 5 to abut against the inner wall of the slide 4, so that the ice tray 2 can no longer continue to rotate relative to the box body 1. At this time, if the ice tray 2 continues to be pressed, the ice tray 2 will be deformed under the pressure to achieve ice removal and further ensure the ice removal effect.
[0053] Of course, in some other implementations, the card slot 10 and the card block 6 may also be omitted.
[0054] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, the ice box further includes two fixed grooves 7 symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1, each fixed groove 7 is connected to a corresponding slide groove 4, and the fixed groove 7 is arranged obliquely relative to the slide groove 4. It can be understood that the fixed groove 7 is arranged obliquely relative to the slide groove 4, and when pressure is applied to the ice making tray 2, it can prevent the slider 5 from sliding out of the fixed groove 7 and returning to the slide groove 4, so as to stabilize the position of the ice making tray 2 and ensure smooth ice removal.
[0055] Of course, in some other embodiments, the fixing groove 7 may also be omitted.
[0056] In some embodiments, Fig.13 As shown, the sliding direction of the slide groove 4 is arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the box body 1 .
[0057] Of course, in some other embodiments, the sliding direction of the slide groove 4 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the box body 1 .
[0058] In some embodiments, Fig.14 As shown, the ice tray 2 is provided with a flap 8, which is provided on the side of the ice tray 2 away from the two sliders 5 and is located between the two sliders 5. It can be understood that the user can avoid direct contact with the ice tray 2 by rotating the ice tray 2 with the help of the flap 8, further ensuring clean and hygienic ice removal. In addition, the flap 8 can also abut against the box body 1 to form a stable support for the ice tray 2 together with the two sliders 5, so as to facilitate ice making.
[0059] In some embodiments, Fig.15 As shown, the ice box also includes a cover 9, which is arranged on the box body 1. The arrangement of the cover 9 can play the role of dust prevention and odor contamination.
[0060] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, at least one of the flap 8 and the cover 9 can also be omitted.
[0061] Embodiment 2
[0062] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the location of the card slot 4 , and the ice box in the second embodiment further includes a card strip 3 .
[0063] Specifically, see Figure 9-11 The card slots 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the slide slot 4, and the sliding direction of the card slot 10 is parallel to the sliding direction of the slide slot 4. It can be understood that the slider 5 and the card block 6 can rotate at any angle relative to the box body 1.
[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The card strip 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1 and is located between the two slide grooves 4. The ice cube tray 2 can selectively abut against the card strip 3. It can be understood that if Figure 1 As shown, when the ice tray 2 is placed flat on the box body 1, the ice tray 2 abuts against the side of the clip 3 facing away from the bottom of the box body 1, so that the clip 3 and the two sliders 5 work together to form a stable support for the ice tray 2 to facilitate ice making. Figure 2 As shown, the ice tray 2 is flipped until the ice tray 2 abuts against the side of the clamping strip 3 facing the bottom surface of the box body 1, so that the ice tray 2 can no longer rotate relative to the box body 1. At this time, if pressure is continued to be applied to the ice tray 2, the ice tray 2 will be deformed under the pressure, thereby achieving ice removal and further ensuring the ice removal effect.
[0065] Embodiment 3
[0066] The difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment lies in the setting position of the slider 5 .
[0067] Specifically, see Figure 8 , the two sliders 5 are symmetrically arranged on the ice tray 2. It can be understood that when removing ice, the ice tray 2 is pushed to slide along the slide groove 4 to a predetermined position, and then the ice tray 2 is turned over so that the loose ice cubes in the ice tray 2 can fall into the box body 1, and then the ice tray 2 is rotated to abut against the side of the clamping strip 3 facing the bottom surface of the box body 1, so that the ice tray 2 can no longer continue to rotate relative to the box body 1. At this time, the ice tray 2 can be deformed under the pressure to achieve ice removal.
[0068] Embodiment 4
[0069] The difference between the fourth embodiment and the first, second and third embodiments lies in the structure of the box body 1 .
[0070] Specifically, see Fig.12The box body 1 includes a middle frame 11 and an ice storage box 12. The middle frame 11 is arranged in the ice storage box 12, and the two slide grooves 4 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the middle frame 11. The arrangement of the middle frame 11 makes the ice making grid 2 disconnected from the ice storage box 12, further facilitating ice making in the ice making grid 2.
[0071] It can be understood that the clip strip 3 disposed on the box body 1 described in the second embodiment can be correspondingly disposed on the inner wall of the middle frame 11 or the inner wall of the ice storage box 12, which will not be described in detail here.
[0072] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present application. A person skilled in the art of the present application may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner, but this will not deviate from the spirit of the present application or exceed the scope defined by the attached claims.
[0073] Although a large number of terms are used in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of this application; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of this application.
