Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice-making machine flip cover structures, in particular to a flip cover structure and an ice-making machine box. Background Art

[0002] The opening and closing method of the box body and the cover body of the ice maker usually requires the use of a flip cover structure. The simplest way to implement the flip cover structure is to connect the main body and the cover body by rotation through a rotating shaft to realize the opening and closing of the cover body, that is, to realize the flip cover function. However, in many cases, the user hopes that the cover body can stay in the open state after opening, rather than closing again due to gravity as soon as the user lets go. For this reason, many flip cover structures are provided with springs, shrapnel and other components. Although the function of the flip cover staying after opening can be realized by the spring shrapnel, the structure is complex, the parts are numerous, the assembly is troublesome, and the spring shrapnel is easy to cause elastic failure as the use time increases, and it is troublesome to replace. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a flip cover structure and an ice maker case, which can prevent the cover from automatically falling off when opening through a damping structure and a limit plate, and solves the problem that the flip cover can stay after opening by means of a spring spring sheet. However, the structure is complex, the parts are numerous, and the assembly is troublesome. In addition, the spring spring sheet can easily fail in elasticity as the use time increases, and replacement is troublesome.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a flip cover structure and an ice maker box, including a cover plate, which is hinged on the box body, and the cover plate and the box body are hinged together through a hinge shaft. The left and right sides of the hinge shaft are provided with damping structures for being installed on the box body to prevent the cover plate from automatically falling off when opening. A limit plate for limiting the hinge shaft is provided on the box body and between the two damping structures. The utility model can prevent the cover plate from automatically falling off when opening through the damping structure in cooperation with the limit plate, and solves the problem that the function of stopping the flip cover after opening can be achieved by a spring spring sheet, but the structure is complex, the parts are numerous, the assembly is troublesome, and the spring spring sheet can easily fail in elasticity as the use time increases, and the replacement is relatively troublesome.

[0005] The damping structure includes a damping base arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part of the box body, and a damping baffle is rotatably arranged on the damping base. The damping baffle is fixed together with the cover plate. The damping baffle can effectively slow down and control the speed and angle of lowering the cover plate, thereby avoiding the situation where the cover plate falls freely and quickly due to lack of damping and injures or hits the operator.

[0006] The damping baffle is set on the damping base through the rotation of the shaft. When the cover is opened manually, the damping baffle will bring the shaft to produce a damping effect under the action of the hinge shaft, which can effectively slow down the falling speed of the cover, making it safer and more reliable.

[0007] The limiting plate includes a horizontal portion and an inclined portion, wherein the inclined portion extends into the interior of the box body and is mainly used to guide the ice cubes made by the ice maker so that they can slide smoothly into the interior of the box body to avoid the impact of the made ice cubes on the box body caused by direct free fall and the possible breakage of the ice cubes. An ear plate is arranged on the horizontal portion of the limiting plate, and a through hole matching the hinge shaft is opened on the ear plate. The inclined portion can facilitate the ice cubes made by the ice maker to slide smoothly into the interior of the box body, which is more convenient. The limiting plate and the ear plate on the limiting plate can, on the one hand, strengthen the support of the hinge shaft and the cover plate to avoid the cover plate bending the hinge shaft due to its own gravity, and on the other hand, avoid the formation of a gap at the joint between the cover plate and the box body.

[0008] An ice-making machine box with the flip cover structure comprises a box body, and a sealing strip is arranged on the upper part of the box body. The sealing strip should be made of non-slip and wear-resistant rubber material. The sealing strip can increase the sealing performance of the ice-making machine after it is placed, and can also buffer the vibration generated by the ice cubes falling during the ice-making process of the ice-making machine, making it safer and more convenient to use.

[0009] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0010] 1. The utility model can prevent the cover from automatically falling off when opening through the damping structure and the limit plate, and solves the problem that the flip cover can stop after opening by the spring spring, but the structure is complicated, the parts are numerous, the assembly is troublesome, and the spring spring is easy to cause elastic failure as the use time increases, and the replacement is troublesome.

[0011] 2. The damping baffle can effectively slow down and control the speed and angle of the cover plate lowering, avoiding the situation where the cover plate falls freely and quickly due to lack of damping and injures or hits the operator.

[0012] 3. The inclined portion extends into the interior of the box body, and is mainly used to guide the ice cubes made by the ice maker so that they can slide smoothly into the box body to avoid the impact of the free fall of the finished ice cubes on the box body and the possibility of breaking the ice cubes. An ear plate is arranged on the horizontal portion of the limit plate, and a through hole matching the hinge shaft is opened on the ear plate. The inclined portion can facilitate the ice cubes made by the ice maker to slide smoothly into the interior of the box body, which is more convenient. The limit plate and the ear plate on the limit plate can strengthen the support of the hinge shaft and the cover plate on the one hand to avoid the cover plate bending the hinge shaft due to its own gravity, and on the other hand to avoid gaps in the joints between the cover plate and the box body.

Figure 1-4 , the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model is clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1-4As shown: This embodiment provides a flip cover structure and an ice maker box body, including a cover plate 100, which is hingedly arranged on a box body 200, and the cover plate 100 and the box body 200 are hingedly arranged together through a hinge shaft, and the left and right sides of the hinge shaft are provided with a damping structure 300 for being installed on the box body 200 to prevent the cover plate 100 from automatically falling off when opening, and a limit plate 400 for limiting the hinge shaft is arranged on the box body 200 and between the two damping structures 300. The utility model can prevent the cover plate 100 from automatically falling off when opening through the damping structure 300 and the limit plate 400, and solves the problem that the function of stopping the flip cover after opening can be achieved by a spring spring sheet, but the structure is complex, the parts are numerous, the assembly is troublesome, and the spring spring sheet is easy to cause elastic failure as the use time increases, and the replacement is troublesome.

[0021] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1-4 As shown, the damping structure 300 includes a damping base 301 arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part of the box body 200, and a damping baffle 302 is rotatably arranged on the damping base 301. The damping baffle 302 is fixed together with the cover plate 100. The damping baffle 302 can effectively slow down and control the speed and angle of lowering the cover plate 100, thereby avoiding the situation where the cover plate 100 falls freely and quickly due to lack of damping and hits or injures the operator.

[0022] According to another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the damping baffle 302 is rotatably arranged on the damping base 301 through the rotating shaft 303. By manually opening the cover 100, the damping baffle 302 will bring the rotating shaft 303 to produce a damping effect under the action of the hinge shaft, which can effectively slow down the falling speed of the cover 100, making it safer and more reliable.

[0023] According to another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the limiting plate 400 includes a horizontal portion 401 and an inclined portion 402. The inclined portion 402 extends into the interior of the box body 200 and is mainly used to guide the ice cubes made by the ice maker to slide smoothly into the interior of the box body 200 to avoid the impact of the made ice cubes on the box body 200 caused by the free fall of the made ice cubes and the possibility of breaking the ice cubes. An ear plate 403 is arranged on the horizontal portion 401 of the limiting plate 400. A through hole 404 adapted to the hinge shaft is opened on the ear plate 403. The inclined portion 402 can facilitate the ice cubes made by the ice maker to slide smoothly into the interior of the box body 200, which is more convenient. The limiting plate 400 and the ear plate 403 on the limiting plate 400 can, on the one hand, strengthen the support of the hinge shaft and the cover plate 100 to avoid the cover plate 100 bending the hinge shaft due to its own gravity, and on the other hand, avoid the formation of a gap at the joint between the cover plate 100 and the box body 200.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an ice maker box with the flip cover structure includes a box body 200, and a sealing strip 500 is arranged on the upper part of the box body 200. The sealing strip 500 should be made of anti-slip and wear-resistant rubber material. The sealing strip 500 can increase the sealing performance of the ice maker after placement, and can also buffer the vibration generated by the ice cubes falling during the ice making process of the ice maker, making it safer and more convenient to use.

[0025] The use of the utility model:

[0026] First of all, it should be made clear that the flip cover structure involved in the utility model is mainly used for the opening and closing operation of the box body. The utility model takes the use of the flip cover structure of the ice maker in the ice making process as an example to explain its use method in detail. When ice making operation is required, a person pulls the cover plate 100 along the hinge axis and rotates it counterclockwise until the cover plate 100 is tilted to more than 90 degrees, and then releases the person's hand. At this time, due to the damping effect of the damping structure 300 and the self-gravity of the cover plate 100, the cover plate 100 will slowly fall until the damping baffle 302 conflicts with the horizontal part 401 of the limit plate 400, and then The ice maker is placed on the sealing strip 500 on the upper part of the box body 200, and the ice maker is started to make ice. The finished ice cubes will slide smoothly into the box body 200 and be collected under the guidance of the inclined portion 402 of the limiting plate 400. The utility model can prevent the cover plate 100 from automatically falling off when it is opened through the damping structure 300 in cooperation with the limiting plate 400, and solves the problem that the spring spring can realize the function of stopping the flip cover after opening, but the structure is complex, the parts are numerous, and the assembly is troublesome. In addition, the spring spring can easily fail in elasticity as the use time increases, and the replacement is troublesome.

[0027] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" 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, or it can be the internal communication of two components.
