The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0032] In this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number or order of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0033] See also Figure 1 to Figure 6The present application provides an easy-to-use ice-making box (hereinafter referred to as the ice-making box 1000), which includes a box body 100 and an ice-making mold 200 placed in the box body 100, and the ice-making mold 200 includes an upper mold 210 and a lower mold 220, and has a mold-closing state in which the upper mold 210 and the lower mold 220 cooperate with each other to form a closed mold cavity and a relative mold-parting state, wherein when making ice, the ice-making mold is in the mold-closing state; when removing ice, the ice-making mold 200 needs to be mold-parted.

[0034] The box body 100 has a receiving cavity 111 for receiving the ice-making mold 200, and an opening 112 connected to the receiving cavity 111 and for the ice-making mold 200 to enter and exit. The box cover 120 is slidably mounted on the box bottom 110, and has a combined state with the box bottom 110 to close the opening 112, and a separated state to open the opening 112.

[0035] In this embodiment, the box cover is slidably installed on the box bottom, and is hinged to the box cover and the box bottom in the prior art, which adopts a snap-fit ​​connection structure to avoid damage to the box cover during installation or removal and facilitate user operation.

[0036] First, when the ice-making mold 200 of this embodiment is separated from the mold, the box cover 120 and the box bottom 110 are in a combined state, and the separation operation of the ice-making mold 200 is to apply external force to the lower mold 220 to deform it relative to the upper mold 210 until it is completely separated. Specifically, the box bottom 110 has a support part 113 that supports the upper mold 210 to keep the ice-making mold 200 suspended, and the lower mold 220 has a pressure-receiving part 221 for receiving external force when the ice is removed so that the ice-making mold 200 is deformed and separated from the mold, and the box cover 120 is provided with a window 124 that exposes the pressure-receiving part 221.

[0037] In one embodiment, the upper mold 210 and the lower mold 220 are connected by a buckle to close the mold. When the mold is separated, the lower mold 220 is deformed by force and drives the upper mold 210 to deform synchronously. When the deformation of the lower mold 220 reaches a certain value, the buckle fails, that is, the two molds are separated. The inner top surface of the box cover 120 is in clearance with the upper mold 210. When the ice-making mold 200 is separated, the box cover 120 is against the upper mold 210, which, on the one hand, limits the upper mold 210 from flying off the bottom 110 due to deformation, and on the other hand, limits the deformation of the upper mold 210 to ensure a better ice-removing effect.

[0038] When the ice-making mold 200 is separated, the lower mold 220 moves in the vertical direction and the box cover 120 slides in the horizontal direction. In one embodiment, in vertical projection, the box body 100 is a substantially rectangular structure, and the side wall 115 of the box bottom 110 is provided with a first convex rib 114 for guiding the sliding of the box cover 120. The first convex rib 114 is convex outward in the horizontal direction and is at least two symmetrically arranged, and each first convex rib 114 extends at least in the sliding direction of the box cover 120. Accordingly, the box cover 120 is provided with a first flange 121 that matches the side surface of the first convex rib 114, and a second flange 122 that is connected to the first flange 121 and matches the bottom surface of the first convex rib 114. The first rib 114 improves the structural strength of the corresponding side wall to reduce deformation of the side wall. The second flange 122 cooperates with the first rib 114 to limit the upward movement of the box cover 120 relative to the box bottom 110, thereby achieving the purpose of the box cover 120 abutting against the upper mold 210 during mold separation.

[0039] In one embodiment, the box cover 120 is open on one side in the length or width direction, and the other side is provided with a retaining edge 123 that abuts against the box bottom 110 when slidingly installed, and the retaining edge 123 serves as an installation limit. The corner position of the box bottom 110 is rounded to facilitate the sliding installation of the box cover 120. The side wall 115 of the box bottom 110 further extends upward relative to the first convex rib 114 to form a second convex rib 117, and the second convex rib 117 and the inner top surface of the box cover 120 cooperate, for example, contact each other. In the horizontal direction, the thickness of the second convex rib 117 is less than the width of the first convex rib 114, that is, the friction surface between the box cover 120 and the box bottom 110 is reduced, and the friction resistance of the box cover is correspondingly reduced, so that the sliding of the box cover 120 is smoother. In some embodiments, the thickness of the second convex rib 117 is less than or equal to the thickness of the side wall 115, and preferably, the thickness of the second convex rib 117 is the thickness of the side wall 115.

[0040] As shown in the figure, the pressure receiving portion 221 is arranged diagonally, and the window 124 is arranged diagonally and extends to the edge of the box cover 120. Correspondingly, a notch 116 corresponding to the position of the pressure receiving portion 221 is arranged diagonally on the box bottom 110. The box cover 120 slides along the length direction, and each first rib 114 is arranged on the side wall 115 where the long side of the box bottom 110 is located, and both ends of each first rib 114 extend to the side wall 115 where the short side of the box bottom is located and stop at the notch 116.

[0041] The ice making box of the present application has a box cover which is slidably mounted on the box bottom and is hinged to the box cover and the box bottom in the prior art, which adopts a buckle connection structure, thereby avoiding damage to the box cover during installation or removal and facilitating user operation.

[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When the technical features in different embodiments are embodied in the same figure, it can be regarded that the figure also discloses the combination examples of the various embodiments involved.

[0043] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
