DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the ice maker of the present application comprises a knob 1, an ice box 2 and a box support 3. The ice box 2 is used to install an ice tray and is detachably connected to the box support 3. The knob 1 can be used to block the ice box 2 so that the ice box 2 is fixed in the box support 3. At the same time, when the knob 1 avoids the ice box 2, the ice box 2 can exit the box support 3.

[0037] Specifically, the knob member 1 includes an open position and a closed position. When the knob member 1 is in the open position, the knob member 1 deviates from the ice box 2 and no longer blocks the ice box 2. At this time, the ice box 2 can be withdrawn from the box bracket 3, thereby realizing the disassembly of the ice box 2 and the ice tray. When the knob member 1 is in the closed position, in the installation direction of the ice box 2, the knob member 1 is located behind the ice box 2 and blocks the ice box 2 to prevent the ice box 2 from moving, so that the ice box 2 is fixed in the box bracket 3.

[0038] With such arrangement, after the ice maker has been used multiple times, the ice box 2 can be disassembled and cleaned separately, and the ice box 2, the ice tray and their dead corners can be cleaned more thoroughly, which not only improves the hygiene of the ice box 2 and the ice tray installed in the ice box 2, but also avoids the problem of easy damage to the ice maker caused by cleaning the entire ice maker, thereby increasing the service life of the ice maker and improving its market competitiveness.

[0039] Further integration Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the knob member 1 is rotatably arranged on the box bracket 3, and the knob member 1 rotates around the installation direction of the ice box 2, so that the knob member 1 can be switched between the open position and the closed position according to the needs. The knob member 1 includes a knob body 11, a stop block 12, a rotating column 13 and a retaining edge 14. The knob body 11 includes a main body plate 111 and a hand-held portion 112. The hand-held portion 112 is arranged on the main body plate 111 and protrudes from the main body plate 111. The hand-held portion 112 is used to facilitate people to rotate the knob member 1.

[0040] The stopper block 12 is disposed on the knob body 11, and is used to contact the limit position to prevent the knob member 1 from excessive rotation. Further, the stopper block 12 is disposed on the main body plate 111, and is protruded from the main body plate 111. The stopper block 12 and the handle portion 112 are disposed opposite to each other on the main body plate 111, that is, the protruding direction of the stopper block 12 is opposite to the protruding direction of the handle portion 112.

[0041] The rotating column 13 is protruded from the knob body 11. Specifically, the rotating column 13 is arranged on the main body plate 111, and the protruding direction of the rotating column 13 is the same as the protruding direction of the stop block 12. The rotating column 13 is preferably fixed to the main body plate 111, and the rotating column 13 is rotatably connected to the box bracket 3. The rotating column 13 is preferably a cylindrical structure.

[0042] In another embodiment, the rotating column 13 can also be rotatably connected to the main body plate 111, and the rotating column 13 is fixed to the box bracket 3, so that the knob member 1 can be rotated relative to the box bracket 3 to adjust the position. In this embodiment, the rotating column 13 can be cylindrical, elliptical, square, etc., which is not limited in this article.

[0043] In one embodiment, the rotating column 13 includes a fitting side 131, a limiting column 132, and a middle connecting column 133. The fitting side 131 is used to fit the box bracket 3, so that the knob member 1 is clamped to the box bracket 3 in the loading and unloading direction of the ice box 2. The fitting side 131 is provided on the limiting column 132. The middle connecting column 133 is connected between the limiting column 132 and the knob body 11. Specifically, one end of the middle connecting column 133 is connected to the fitting side 131, and the other end is connected to the main body plate 111. The middle connecting column 133 can be used as a rotating shaft to rotate the knob member 1.

[0044] The diameter of the limiting column 132 is greater than the diameter of the middle connecting column 133. With such a configuration, after the knob 1 is mounted on the box bracket 3, the limiting column 132 prevents the knob 1 from falling off. The limiting column 132 is used to limit the position of the knob 1 in the loading and unloading direction of the ice box 2, so that the knob 1 is clamped on the box bracket 3.

[0045] The retaining edge 14 is protruded from the main plate 111, and the protruding direction of the retaining edge 14 is the same as the protruding direction of the stop block 12. The retaining edge 14 is arranged around the edge of the main plate 111, and the retaining edge 14 is connected to the stop block 12. The retaining edge 14 is preferably U-shaped, and the stop block 12 extends from one end of the retaining edge 14 in a direction toward the other end. The rotating column 13 is located in the middle area of ​​the main plate 111, and is also located within the U-shaped range of the retaining edge 14. When the knob member 1 is in the closed position, the retaining edge 14 contacts the ice box 2, thereby clamping the ice box 2 in the box bracket 3.

[0046] In order to make the handle 112 easier to hold and convenient for the user to exert force, the handle 112 extends from one side of the main plate 111 to the other side opposite thereto. The main plate 111, the handle 112, the stop block 12, the rotating column 13 and the retaining edge 14 are integrally formed to ensure the strength of the knob 1.

[0047] In another embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the knob member 1 is a gear rack structure. Specifically, the knob member 1 includes a rotating wheel 15 and a rack 16. The rotating wheel 15 and the rack 16 are preferably arranged on the box bracket 3, and the rotating wheel 15 can rotate relative to the box bracket 3, and the rack 16 can slide relative to the box bracket 3, and the rotating wheel 15 and the rack 16 are meshed.

[0048] When the knob 1 is required to block the ice box 2 in the closed position, the rotating wheel 15 only needs to be rotated in a specific direction, such as clockwise, so that the rack 16 can move toward the ice box 2. Then, in the loading and unloading direction of the ice box 2, the rack 16 is moved to the rear of the ice box 2 to block the ice box 2, so that the ice box 2 is fixed in the box bracket 3. When the rotating wheel 15 is rotated in another specific direction, such as counterclockwise, the rack 16 can be moved away from the ice box 2, so that the knob 1 is in the open position and no longer blocks the ice box 2. At this time, the ice box 2 can be withdrawn from the box bracket 3, thereby realizing the disassembly of the ice box 2 and the ice tray.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rotating wheel 15 and the rack 16 can be arranged on the ice box 2 according to actual needs, and the rotating wheel 15 can rotate relative to the ice box 2, and the rack 16 can slide relative to the ice box 2 toward the box bracket 3. The box bracket 3 can fix the rack 16, and then fix the ice box 2 to the box bracket 3. In order to make the rotating wheel 15 easier to operate, a power handle (not shown) can be installed on the rotating wheel 15, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0050] In another embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the knob member 1 includes a first fixing member 17 and a second fixing member 18. The first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18 are connected to rotate relative to each other. Specifically, the first fixing member 17 is fixed to the box bracket 3, and the second fixing member 18 is detachably connected to the ice box 2. When the knob member 1 is required to be in a closed position to block the ice box 2, the second fixing member 18 is rotated to fix it to the ice box 2. When the ice box 2 needs to be disassembled, the second fixing member 18 only needs to be rotated toward the first fixing member 17.

[0051] It is worth noting that when the second fixing member 18 is fixed to the ice box 2, the first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18 are also relatively fixed, and the first fixing member 17 and the second fixing member 18 are preferably in a straight line at this time. In this embodiment, the first fixing member 17 can be fixed to the ice box 2 according to actual needs, and the second fixing member 18 can be detachably connected to the box bracket 3.

[0052] Indeed, the box bracket 3 and the ice box 2 can also be detachably assembled through the claw structure. In this article, in order to make the ice maker more intelligent and the ice box 2 and the box bracket 3 more convenient to assemble and disassemble, a power part (not shown) such as a motor, a cylinder, etc. can be installed on the ice maker to drive the knob part 1 to switch between the open and closed positions.

[0053] Further integration Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in one embodiment, the ice box 2 is preferably slidably mounted on the box bracket 3 or exits the box bracket 3. The ice box 2 includes a box body 21, a card plate 22, a limit plate 23 and a guide rail 24. The box body 21 can be located in the box bracket 3, and the card plate 22 is fixed to the box body 21. Specifically, the box body 21 includes a left plate 211 and a right plate 212, and the card plate 22 extends to the left from the left plate 211. When the ice box 2 slides into the box bracket 3, the card plate 22 abuts against the box bracket 3, thereby limiting the position of the box body 21 in the box bracket 3, and the card plate 22 also abuts against the knob member 1 to prevent the box body 21 from exiting the box bracket 3.

[0054] The box body 21 includes a rear end plate 213. The card plate 22 is recessed from one side of the rear end plate 213 along the installation direction of the ice box 2. In this way, when the knob member 1 is in the closed position, the knob member 1 can fit with the card plate 22 and avoid interference between the knob member 1 and other components in the installation direction of the ice box 2. Of course, the card plate 22 can also be flush with the rear end plate 213 without affecting the fit between the knob member 1 and the card plate 22.

[0055] The limiting plate 23 is bent and extended from one side of the card plate 22, and the extension direction of the limiting plate 23 is opposite to the recessed direction of the card plate 22 from the rear end plate 213. The limiting plate 23 is also connected to the left side plate 211 to improve the stability of the limiting plate 23. In the extension direction of the limiting plate 23, the limiting plate 23 does not exceed the rear end plate 213, thereby improving the aesthetics of the ice box 2 and reducing the manufacturing level. The limiting plate 23 is used to limit the rotation angle of the knob member 1 when it is turned from the open position to the closed position. Specifically, when the knob member 1 is in the closed position, the knob member 1 can contact the limiting plate 23.

[0056] The guide rails 24 cooperate with the box support 3 so that the ice box 2 can slide easily into the box support 3. To ensure the stability of the ice box 2 when sliding, the guide rails 24 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the box body 21. Specifically, the guide rails 24 are respectively fixed to the left side plate 211 and the right side plate 212. The guide rails 24 on the left side plate 211 are also connected to the clamping plate 22, and the guide rails 24 on the right side plate 212 are also connected to the rear end plate 213.

[0057] Further integration Figure 12 to Figure 14 As shown, in one embodiment, the box bracket 3 includes a stopper 31 and a bracket body 32. When the knob member 1 is in the closed position, the clamping plate 22 is fixed between the stopper 31 and the knob member 1, that is, one side of the clamping plate 22 contacts the stopper 31, and the other side of the clamping plate 22 contacts the retaining edge 14. When the knob member 1 is in the open position, the knob member 1 deviates from the clamping plate 22. In this way, the convenience of disassembly of the ice box 2 and the box bracket 3 is improved through the knob member 1, and people's use experience and market competitiveness are improved.

[0058] The support body 32 includes an inlet end 321. The stopper 31 is located at a corner of the support body 32 and is adjacent to the inlet end 321. In this way, after the box body 21 is arranged in the support body 32, the clamping plate 22 can abut against the stopper 31, thereby limiting the position of the ice box 2. The knob 1 is rotatably arranged on the stopper 31.

[0059] In one embodiment, the stopper 31 includes a knob plate 311, a first stopper 312, a baffle 313, a fastening guide rail 314, a second stopper 315, and a mounting hole 316. The knob member 1 is disposed on the knob plate 311. Specifically, the middle connecting column 133 is disposed through the knob plate 311, and the stopper column 132 is abutted against the knob plate 311, that is, the abutting side 131 contacts the knob plate 311. The knob member 1 is clamped to the stopper 31 through the stopper column 132 and the baffle 14.

[0060] The first limit block 312 is disposed on the knob plate 311 and protrudes from the knob plate 311. The protruding direction of the first limit block 312 is opposite to the installation direction of the ice box 2. The first limit block 312 is used to limit the position of the knob member 1 when it is in the open position. Specifically, when the knob member 1 is in the open position, the knob member 1 contacts the first limit block 312, that is, the limit block 12 contacts the first limit block 312, thereby preventing the knob member 1 from rotating excessively.

[0061] The baffle 313 is connected to the knob plate 311, and the baffle 313 is used to contact the clamping plate 22, thereby limiting the position of the box body 21 in the bracket body 32. When the knob member 1 is in the closed position, one side of the clamping plate 22 contacts the baffle 313, and the other side contacts the retaining edge 14 of the knob member 1.

[0062] Along the installation direction of the ice box 2, the baffle 313 is recessed from one side of the knob plate 311, that is, the baffle 313 and the knob plate 311 are in a stepped shape. In this way, when the clamping plate 22 contacts the baffle 313, the clamping plate 22 does not exceed the fastening guide rail 314 in the withdrawal direction of the ice box 2, so that the retaining edge 14 fits on the clamping plate 22, and the clamping plate 22 is clamped between the retaining edge 14 and the baffle 313. Of course, the baffle 313 can also be set flush with the knob plate 311 without affecting the knob member 1 fitting the clamping plate 22.

[0063] The fastening rail 314 is disposed on the knob plate 311 and protrudes from the knob plate 311. The protruding direction of the fastening rail 314 is the same as the protruding direction of the first limit block 312. The limit block 12 abuts against the fastening rail 314 so that the knob member 1 is clamped to the stop portion 31 along the installation direction of the ice box 2. Further, the distance A between the fitting side 131 and the limit block 12 is not greater than the sum B of the thickness of the knob plate 311 and the fastening rail 314. In this way, the knob member 1 can be stably disposed on the stop portion 31.

[0064] Preferably, the distance A between the fitting side 131 and the stop block 12 is equal to the sum B of the thicknesses of the knob plate 311 and the fastening rail 314. This arrangement can not only ensure that the knob member 1 is stably arranged on the stop portion 31, but also avoid interference between the knob member 1 and the stop portion 31 when they are installed.

[0065] In another example, to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the stopper 31 , the fastening rail 314 can be removed from the knob plate 311 , and the distance A between the fitting side 131 and the stopper 12 is not greater than the thickness of the knob plate 311 .

[0066] In one embodiment, the fastening rail 314 is arranged in an arc shape. During the conversion process of the knob 1 between the open position and the closed position, the stop block 12 always contacts the fastening rail 314, so that the knob 1 always remains stable during the rotation process.

[0067] The stopper 31 includes a second stopper 315. The second stopper 315 is disposed on the knob plate 311, and the second stopper 315 and the first stopper 312 are respectively located at two ends of the fastening rail 314. Further, the second stopper 315 and the first stopper 312 are spaced apart from the ends of the fastening rail 314. The second stopper 315 is used to prevent the knob member 1 from excessively rotating in the closed position. Specifically, the second stopper 315 can contact the stopper 12 to prevent the knob member 1 from excessively rotating.

[0068] The mounting hole 316 is provided on the knob plate 311, and the rotating column 13 is passed through the mounting hole 316. The mounting hole 316 includes a pre-installed hole 3161 and a rotating hole 3162. On the knob plate 311, part of the pre-installed hole 3161 overlaps part of the rotating hole 3162, and the diameter of the pre-installed hole 3161 is larger than the diameter of the rotating hole 3162 and the diameter of the limiting column 132. In the process of installing the knob member 1 to the knob plate 311, the limiting column 132 first passes through the pre-installed hole 3161, and then the middle connecting column 133 moves toward the rotating hole 3162, so that the middle connecting column 133 is engaged with the rotating hole 3162.

[0069] In one embodiment, the support body 32 includes a guide groove 322. The guide groove 322 is recessed from the inlet end 321 along the installation direction of the ice box 2, and the ice box 2 slides from the inlet end 321 into the support body 32.
