The box body 8 is arranged in a rectangular parallelepiped, and a baffle 10 is vertically fixed inside it. In this embodiment, three groups of baffles 10 are provided, which are arranged in sequence along the length of the box body 8. The inside of the box body 8 is divided into multiple groups of water storage chambers 9 by the baffles 10, and a water injection component 4 for injecting water into the water storage chamber 9 is fixed directly above the box body 8. The water injection component 4 adopts technical equipment conventionally used by technicians in this technical field. It should be noted that a refrigeration component is also provided on the water injection component 4 for making ice.

[0028] An L-shaped adjusting plate 22 is vertically slidably arranged inside the water storage chamber 9 along the height direction of the box body 8. The lower end of the adjusting plate 22 is arranged parallel to the bottom side of the water storage chamber 9, and the left and right sides of the adjusting plate 22 are in contact with the inner wall of the water storage chamber 9. It should be noted that the two are provided with a protrusion arranged on the inner wall of the water storage chamber 9 (not shown in the attached drawings), and grooves are arranged on the left and right sides of the adjusting plate 22 to slide with the protrusions. A receiving groove (not shown in the attached drawings) is arranged on the middle group of baffles 10 of the three groups of baffles 10 along its length direction, and a T-shaped driving block 31 is vertically slidably arranged at the receiving groove along the height direction of the box body 8, a magnetically attracted block 33 is fixed on the outer wall of the driving block 31, and an electromagnetic suction block 32 that magnetically cooperates with the magnetically attracted block 33 is fixed on the inner wall of the receiving groove.

[0029] A connecting block 30 is fixed to the upper side wall of the driving block 31, and the connecting block 30 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 22 below it. Each group of adjusting plates 22 located in the water storage chamber 9 is connected and fixed by a connecting plate 25. The connecting plate 25 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and its side facing the box body 8 is fixed to the upper side wall of each group of adjusting plates 22.

[0030] A U-shaped limit plate 20 is horizontally fixed to the rear side of the bracket 2, and an L-shaped driving plate 26 is horizontally slidable at the limit plate 20. The front end of the driving plate 26 is inserted into the interior of the bracket 2. A side plate 16 is vertically fixed to the right end of the upper side of the middle group of baffles 10 of the three groups of baffles 10. The side plate 16 is provided with a driven wheel 17 through the rotation of the rotating rod 11. A rack 27 meshing with the driven wheel 17 is fixed to the upper side of the front end of the driving plate 26. A linkage rod 18 is also fixed on the rotating rod 11. A rectangular guide groove 7 is opened on the driving block 31 toward one side of the side plate 16, and the end of the linkage rod 18 away from the rotating rod 11 is slidably connected to the guide groove 7. In this embodiment, the shortest distance between the side plate 16 and the driven wheel 17 is greater than the width of the rack 27. The purpose is to push the rack 27 on the driving plate 26 to horizontally disengage from the meshing with the driven wheel 17.

[0031] On each group of adjusting plates 1 22, a rectangular adjusting plate 2 21 is also provided. A long slider 12 is horizontally slidably provided at the upper rear end of the box body 8 along the length direction of the box body 8. The upper side walls of each group of adjusting plates 21 are slidably connected with the slider 12 respectively. The adjusting plate 21 is slidably connected with the slider 12 along the height direction of the box body 8. A rack 2 13 is fixed to the side of the slider 12 away from the box body 8 along the length direction of the slider 12. A driving wheel 14 meshing with the rack 2 13 is connected to the outer wall of the bracket 2 through a rotating rod 15. The driving wheel 14 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating rod 15. A worm 28 is horizontally arranged between the driving wheel 14 and the limiting plate 20, the rear end of the worm 28 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bracket 2, the lower end of the rotating rod 15 is sleeved and fixed with a worm wheel 29 meshing with the worm 28, and the front end of the worm 28 is fixed with a knob 19, the purpose of which is to facilitate personnel to drive the driving wheel 14 to rotate by turning the knob 19 outside the bracket 2, and a magnetic block 24 is embedded and fixed on the side of the box 8 facing the driving wheel 14 along the length direction of the box 8, and an electromagnetic suction block 23 magnetically matched with the magnetic suction block 24 is fixed on the side wall of the slider 12.

[0032] A transparent observation window 3 is embedded in the front side of the bracket 2, and its purpose is to facilitate personnel to observe the situation of the box body 8 inside the bracket 2 in time.

[0033] When the personnel are making ice cubes without making any adjustments, the electromagnetic suction block 1 32 and the electromagnetic suction block 2 23 are both in a powered state, and are magnetically coupled with the magnetically attracted block 1 33 and the magnetically attracted block 2 24 respectively, and the positions of the slider 12 and the driving block 31 are restricted, so that the positions of the adjusting plate 1 22 and the adjusting plate 2 21 are fixed.

[0034] When the personnel need some ice cubes of other sizes, the personnel first stop the water injection operation of the water injection assembly 4. The water storage chamber 9 has not yet been filled with liquid water. The personnel move the driving plate 26 to be located at one end outside the bracket 2, so that the rack 27 on the driving plate 26 first extends under the rotating rod 11 and then translates to under the driven wheel 17, and by moving the driving plate 26 back and forth, the rack 27 on the driving plate 26 is meshed with the driven wheel 17. The control system controls the electromagnetic suction block 32 to lose power and not to magnetically cooperate with the magnetic suction block 33 on the driving block 31, and the driving plate 26 is moved toward the box The gear rack 27 starts to mesh with the driven wheel 17 for transmission, and the driven wheel 17 drives the rotating rod 11 to rotate, and the rotating rod 11 drives the linkage rod 18 to rotate around the central axis of the driven wheel 17. At the same time, the linkage rod 18 pulls the driving block 31 to move vertically upward. Due to the existence of the guide groove 7, the arc movement of the linkage rod 18 causes it to slide in the guide groove 7, and the driving block 31 moves upward, driving each group of adjusting plates 22 on the box body 8 to move vertically upward, thereby changing the height of the water stored in the water storage chamber 9. After checking whether the adjusting plate 22 is in place through the observation window 3, the personnel stops pushing. The driving plate 26 is moved, and the electromagnetic suction block 32 is magnetically matched with the magnetic suction block 33 again. The position of the driving block 31 is limited and cannot be moved down or up. It should be noted that the lower side of the adjusting plate 21 is in contact with the upper side of the lower end of the adjusting plate 22, so when the adjusting plate 22 moves up, the adjusting plate 21 moves up vertically synchronously. Since the adjusting plate 21 is slidably connected to the slider 12, the slider 12 will not be driven to move up. Then the person turns the knob 19, and the knob 19 drives the worm 28 to mesh with the worm wheel 29 for transmission. The worm wheel 29 drives the driving wheel 14 through the rotating rod 15 The rack 13 on the slider 12 meshes with each other for transmission, and the slider 12 starts to move horizontally along the length direction of the box 8, and the adjusting plate 21 is synchronously driven to move horizontally. After adjusting to a suitable position, the operator stops driving the knob 19, and the electromagnetic suction block 23 starts to be energized and cooperates with the magnetic suction block 24 to limit the position of the slider 12. At this time, the space between the adjusting plate 1 22 and the adjusting plate 21 is filled with water through the water filling assembly 4, so that ice cubes of different sizes can be obtained without the need for personnel to enter for adjustment, thereby improving the applicability of the box 8 and being able to make ice cubes of certain different sizes.

[0035] When the box body 8 needs to move down and rotate, the rack 1 27 on the driving block 31 is in a retracted state. It moves parallel to the side while being engaged with the driven wheel 17 and then retreats and is no longer directly below the driven wheel 17 and the rotating rod 11, thereby avoiding interference with the rack 1 27 when the box body 8 moves down and drives the driven wheel 17 and the rotating rod 11 to move down synchronously. The rack 2 13 on the slider 12 is in an engaged state with the driving wheel 14. The box body 8 moves down vertically first and then rotates. When it is reset, it will not affect the engaged state between the rack 2 13 and the driving wheel 14.

[0036] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
