[0045] [Refrigerator principle]

[0046] Refrigerators perform a refrigeration cycle by using a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The refrigeration cycle consists of a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation to cool the refrigerator's refrigerated and frozen spaces.

[0047] The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0048] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator can achieve a low-temperature effect in the refrigerated space and the frozen space by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant and exchanging heat with the air in the refrigerated space and the frozen space.

[0049] In addition, some refrigerators are equipped with an ice maker to make ice cubes; the cooling capacity required by the ice maker is also provided by the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant in the evaporator.

[0053] The door body 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the drawer 2 , and is used to cover the opening 12 when connected to the opening 12 , so that the cavity 11 forms an insulating space, and the drawer 2 can be pushed and pulled by sliding the door body 3 .

[0054] The ice maker 4 comprises an ice tray 42 and an ice detection rod 41, which are used for making ice and detecting whether ice making is needed, respectively.

[0055] The ice storage box 5 is a box body with an upper opening 12, which is placed in the drawer 2 and directly below the ice maker 4, and is used to receive ice cubes made by the ice maker 4. That is, the ice storage box 5 is directly below the ice tray 42, and is used to receive ice cubes that are completely made and turned over and poured out of the ice tray 42. The ice detection rod 41 is used to detect whether the ice storage box 5 is full of ice cubes, and if it is detected that the ice storage box 5 is full of ice cubes, the ice maker 4 does not make ice; if it is detected that the ice storage box 5 is not full of ice cubes, the ice maker 4 makes ice.

[0056] The ice storage box 5 includes a rear side plate 51, which is arranged vertically; the ice detection rod 41 can rotate around a fixed axis, with one end facing the longitudinal direction of the rear side plate 51.

[0058] The refrigerator of the present invention realizes that when the drawer 2 is opened and the ice-detecting rod 41 has not reset after detecting ice, and the ice-detecting rod 41 interferes with the ice-storage box 5, one end of the ice-detecting rod 41 is lifted by the first guide structure 52 as the ice-storage box 5 moves with the drawer 2, thereby achieving the purpose of not hindering the movement of the ice-storage box 5 and not damaging the ice-detecting rod 41, thereby improving the reliability of the refrigerator and the life of the ice-maker 4, thereby reducing maintenance costs and enhancing the user experience.

[0059] The specific structure and principle of the refrigerator of the present invention are described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The first guide structure 52 is a plate structure with an upper portion tilted outward, which covers the entire width direction of the rear side plate 51 and is connected to the rear side plate 51 at the lower end.

[0061] That is, the first guide structure 52 is a plate structure whose length is equal to the width of the rear side plate 51, and one end thereof in the width direction is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rear side plate 51, and the other end is located above the one end thereof and inclined toward the outside of the rear side plate 51; the upper side surface of the first guide structure 52 is a guide surface, which is used to lift the ice-detecting rod 41 upward when interfering with the ice-detecting rod 41.

[0062] In the refrigerator of this embodiment, the first guide structure 52 is arranged all over the width direction of the rear side plate 51 to reduce the requirement of the installation accuracy of the ice storage box 5, reduce the difficulty of installation, and improve the placement efficiency of the ice storage box 5.

[0063] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The ice storage box 5 also includes a front side plate 53, which is vertically arranged; a second guide structure 54 is formed at the upper end of the front side plate 53, which is a plate structure with an upper side inclined outward, covering the width direction of the front side plate 53, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the front side plate 53.

[0064] That is, the second guide structure 54 is a plate structure, and its length is equal to the width of the front side plate 53; one end of the second guide structure 54 in the width direction is fixedly connected to the front side plate 53, and the other end is located above one end thereof and inclined toward the outer side of the front side plate 53; the upper side surface of the second guide structure 54 is a guide surface with a lifting guiding function.

[0065] The refrigerator of this embodiment is provided with a first guide structure 52 and a second guide structure 54 with lifting and guiding functions at the front and rear ends of the ice storage box 5, respectively, so that the ice storage box 5 can be loaded into the drawer 2 regardless of whether the front end faces backward or the rear end faces backward, thereby improving the applicability of the ice storage box 5, reducing the difficulty of placing the ice storage box 5 in the drawer 2, and improving the user experience.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The front side plate 53 and the rear side plate 51 are symmetrically arranged.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The first guide structure 52 and the second guide structure 54 are flat plates or arc-shaped plates protruding toward the inner side of the ice storage box 5 .

[0068] That is, the first guide structure 52 and the second guide structure 54 are flat plates or arc-shaped plates, and are able to continuously tilt outward from bottom to top.

[0069] The refrigerator of this embodiment reduces the resistance and difficulty of lifting and guiding the ice-detecting rod 41 by continuously tilting the first guide structure 52 and the second guide structure 54 outward, thereby improving the lifting efficiency.

[0070] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The first guide structure 52 is arranged corresponding to the ice-probing rod 41, including a first guide plate 521 inclined toward the inner side of the rear side plate 51 in sequence, a first auxiliary connecting plate 522 whose two ends are respectively connected to the lower end of the first guide plate 521 and the rear side plate 51, and first auxiliary side plates 523 on both sides of the first guide plate 521 and the first auxiliary connecting plate 522; each first auxiliary side plate 523 is fixedly connected to the first guide plate 521, the first auxiliary connecting plate 522, and the rear side plate 51 respectively.

[0071] That is, the upper end of the first guide plate 521 is flush with the rear side plate 51 in the vertical direction, and the lower end is connected to the rear side plate 51 through the first auxiliary connecting plate 522; the upper side surface of the first guide plate 521 is a guide surface with a guiding function.

[0072] The refrigerator of this embodiment adapts to the position and shape and size of the patient detection rod by setting the first guide structure 52 as a structure protruding into the ice storage box 5, reduces the impact on the volume of the ice storage box 5, and increases the volume of the ice storage box 5 without changing the space occupied by the ice storage box 5.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The ice storage box 5 also includes a front side plate 53, which is vertically arranged; a second guide structure 54 is formed at the upper end of the front side plate 53, which is symmetrical with the first guide structure 52, and includes a second guide plate 541 inclined toward the inner side of the front side plate 53 in sequence, a second auxiliary connecting plate 542 whose two ends are respectively connected to the lower end of the second guide plate 541 and the front side plate 53, and two second auxiliary side plates 543 located on both sides of the second guide plate 541 and the second auxiliary connecting plate 542; the second auxiliary side plates 543 are respectively fixedly connected to the second guide plate 541, the second auxiliary connecting plate 542, and the front side plate 53.

[0074] That is, the upper end of the second guide plate 541 is flush with the front side plate 53 in the vertical direction, and the lower end is connected to the front side plate 53 through the second auxiliary connecting plate 542; the upper side surface of the second guide plate 541 is a guide surface with a guiding function.

[0075] The refrigerator of this embodiment increases the volume of the ice storage box 5 by setting the second guide structure 54 as a structure protruding into the interior of the ice storage box 5, and respectively sets a first guide structure 52 and a second guide structure 54 with a lifting and guiding function at the front and rear ends of the ice storage box 5, so that the ice storage box 5 can be loaded into the drawer 2 regardless of whether the front end faces backward or the rear end faces backward, thereby improving the applicability of the ice storage box 5, reducing the difficulty of placing the ice storage box 5 in the drawer 2, and improving the user experience.

[0076] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The front side plate 53 and the rear side plate 51 are symmetrically arranged, and the front side plate 53 and the rear side plate 51 are respectively formed into an inwardly curved shape that is bent toward the inner longitudinal direction of the ice storage box 5 to prevent the ice storage box 5 from freezing together with the inner wall of the drawer 2.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The first guide plate 521 in the first guide structure 52 and the second guide plate 541 in the second guide structure 54 are flat plates or arc-shaped plates protruding toward the inner side of the ice storage box 5 .

[0078] That is, the first guide plate 521 and the second guide plate 541 are flat plates or arc-shaped plates, and are able to continuously tilt outward from bottom to top.

[0079] The refrigerator of this embodiment reduces the resistance and difficulty of lifting and guiding the ice-detecting rod 41 by continuously tilting the first guide structure 52 and the second guide structure 54 outward, thereby improving the lifting efficiency.

[0080] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The ice storage box 5 is manufactured by integral molding.

[0081] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 A third guide structure 411 is formed at one end of the ice-detecting rod 41, which is an inclined slope or an inclined arc surface, and the inclination trend is the same as that of the first guide structure 52 or the first guide plate 521. When the ice-detecting rod 41 rotates to the detection angle, the outward inclination angle of the upper end of the third guide structure 411 is smaller than the outward inclination angle of the first guide structure 52 or the first guide plate 521.

[0082] That is, by providing a third guide structure 411 with the same inclination trend as the guide surface and less than the inclination of the guide surface at one end of the ice-probe rod 41, one end of the ice-probe rod 41 also has a guiding function, and the contact area is reduced, the sliding difficulty is reduced, and the guiding efficiency is improved.

[0083] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 A gradually decreasing tip is formed at one end of the ice-probing rod 41, and the third guide structure 411 is arranged at the end of the tip and has a chamfer or rounded transition with the tip.

[0084] The refrigerator of this embodiment reduces the area of ​​the third guide structure 411, thereby further reducing the contact area and improving the guiding efficiency.

[0085] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Fig.10 The ice-detecting rod 41 includes a detection section 412 and a rotation section 413 , both of which are straight and fixedly connected to each other at an angle, and the angle opening 12 formed by the detection section 412 and the rotation section 413 faces upward.

[0086] The refrigerator of this embodiment sets the ice detection rod 41 into a detection section 412 and a rotation section 413 which are angled with each other, so that the detection section 412 tends to be longitudinally straight when detecting, thereby preventing its end from being inserted into ice cubes and causing false detection. At the same time, the straight detection section 412 is easier to guide and lift, reducing the difficulty of lifting and improving the lifting efficiency.

[0087] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 A placement table 21 is formed in the drawer 2 for placing the ice storage box 5.

[0088] The ice storage box 5 is placed at the rear side of the drawer 2 ; a first limiting structure 22 is formed on the placement table 21 for limiting the front and rear positions of the ice storage box 5 placed on the placement table 21 .

[0089] The refrigerator of this embodiment improves the accuracy of the placement of the ice storage box 5 through the first limiting structure 22, helps the user to limit the placement of the ice storage box 5, and improves the placement efficiency.

[0090] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 , the ice storage box 5 is placed on the left or right side of the drawer 2; a second limiting structure 23 is formed on the placement table 21 for limiting the left and right positions of the ice storage box 5 placed on the placement table 21.

[0091] The refrigerator of this embodiment improves the accuracy of the placement of the ice storage box 5 through the second limiting structure 23, helps the user to limit the placement of the ice storage box 5, and improves the placement efficiency.

[0092] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 The first limiting structure 22 and the second limiting structure 23 are positioning sheet metals that protrude vertically from the placement platform 21 along the horizontal direction and the longitudinal direction respectively, and their heights are much lower than the height of the ice storage box 5.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , the placement table 21 is the bottom of the drawer 2.

[0094] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
