[0002] A refrigerator is a device that can store food for a long time, keeping the food fresh at low temperature, and ensuring people's daily diet and health. It has become a very important electrical appliance in people's lives. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people have an increasing demand for refrigerators with ice makers to make ice.

[0003] The existing ice maker makes ice in the ice making grid, the ice scraper pushes the ice cubes in the ice grid out, the ice blocking plate blocks the ice cubes pushed out by the ice scraper, and then the ice cubes fall into the ice storage box under their own gravity for people to use. The existing ice cubes only have a vertical downward impulse during the falling process, so the ice cubes in the ice storage box are accumulated under the ice making grid. When the accumulation reaches a certain height, the position sensor is triggered to interrupt the ice making, resulting in the ice cubes being concentrated in a local space in the ice storage box, and the ice storage capacity of the ice storage box is insufficient.

[0049] The refrigerator 100 provided in the embodiment of the utility model can have various implementation forms. Figures 1 to 10 This is a specific implementation of the refrigerator 100 of the utility model. In this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 includes a box body 10 and an ice maker 20.

[0050] The directions described in the text are based on the direction in which the user faces the refrigerator 100, wherein the left and right sides are distinguished by the direction in which the user faces the refrigerator 100, the side facing the user when the refrigerator 100 is in use is defined as the front side, and the side opposite thereto is defined as the rear side, and the upper and lower sides of the refrigerator 100 when generally working normally are defined to distinguish the up and down.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, the box 10 is used to form the overall appearance of the refrigerator 100. The box 10 is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped frame. The top of the box 10 and the bottom of the box 10 are opposite ends. From the top of the box 10 to the bottom of the box 10 is the height direction of the box 10. The left side of the box 10 and the right side of the box 10 are opposite sides. From the left side of the box 10 to the right side of the box 10 is the width direction of the box 10. The front side of the box 10 and the rear side of the box 10 are opposite sides. From the front side of the box 10 to the rear side of the box 10 is the thickness direction of the box 10; wherein, the first direction is the height direction of the box 10, and the second direction is the width direction of the box 10. The box 10 includes a box shell 11 and an inner liner 12. The inner liner 12 is arranged in the box shell 11, and an installation space is formed between the two, which is used to install other component structures of the refrigerator 100 and form a foam insulation layer. A refrigeration chamber 15 is provided inside the inner liner 12. The refrigeration chamber 15 is used to place goods. The refrigeration chamber 15 has a chamber opening, and the chamber opening is arranged toward the front side of the box body 10. The refrigeration chamber 15 can be a refrigerated temperature environment, a frozen temperature environment, or a normal temperature environment.

[0052] Furthermore, a door body (not shown) is provided at the opening of the chamber. The door body is arranged at the front side of the box body 10 in a straight plate shape, and the door body is connected to the box body 10 in an openable and closable manner to open or close the refrigeration chamber 15.

[0053] It can be understood that the refrigerator 100 also includes a refrigeration system (not shown) and an air supply system (not shown), and the refrigeration system and the air supply system are electrically connected to a power supply component, and the power supply component is used to supply electricity to each component of the refrigeration system and the air supply system, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the refrigeration system and the air supply system.

[0054] The refrigeration system is installed in the box 10, and the refrigeration system is used to provide cold air to the refrigeration chamber 15. The refrigeration system generally refers to a closed system composed of components such as a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a drying filter, a return air pipe and a throttling device, and a refrigerant. Each component is distributed at different positions of the box 10 according to its structural characteristics to meet the requirements of its corresponding function. The working process of the refrigeration system mainly includes a compression process, a condensation process, a throttling process and an evaporation process. The compression process is: after the power cord of the refrigerator 100 is plugged in, when the contacts of the thermostat are connected, the compressor starts to work, and the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant from the evaporator is sucked into the compressor, and is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas by the action of the compressor and then discharged into the condenser. The condensation process is: the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the external environment through the condenser, the temperature drops, and is gradually cooled to a saturated refrigerant vapor of normal temperature and high pressure, and is cooled to a saturated refrigerant liquid. The throttling process is as follows: the condensed refrigerant saturated liquid is filtered through a drying filter to remove moisture and impurities and then flows into the throttling device, where it is throttled and depressurized, and the refrigerant becomes wet steam at room temperature and low pressure. Evaporation process: The wet steam at room temperature and low pressure enters the evaporator and begins to absorb heat for gasification, which lowers the temperature of the evaporator and its surroundings, achieving refrigeration, and turning the refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas. The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator returns to the compressor, and the above process is repeated. Energy conversion is performed through the change in the state of the refrigerant, and the heat in the refrigerator 100 is transferred to the air outside the box, thereby achieving the refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator 100.

[0055] The air supply system is installed in the box 10 to provide power for the flow of cold air; the air supply system generally includes a fan and an air supply duct defined in the box 10. In some embodiments, the air inlet end of the air supply duct is arranged close to the fan, and the air outlet end of the air supply duct is arranged away from the fan; in other embodiments, the air outlet end of the air supply duct is arranged close to the fan, and the air inlet end of the air supply duct is arranged away from the fan. The box 10 is also defined to form an air duct cavity, which is connected to the air supply duct and the refrigeration chamber 15 respectively, so that the air supply duct is connected to the refrigeration chamber 15 through the air duct cavity; it should be noted that the inner liner 12 is provided with an air outlet, which is used to connect the air duct cavity and the refrigeration chamber 15. The cold air generated by the refrigeration system enters the air duct cavity through the air supply duct through the operation of the fan, and flows from the air outlet to the refrigeration chamber 15 to cool the refrigeration chamber 15. It should also be noted that, in some embodiments, the air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the inner liner 12 on the side opposite to the opening of the refrigeration chamber 15 or on the side wall of the inner liner 12 on the side adjacent to the opening of the refrigeration chamber 15; it should also be noted that the refrigeration system and the air supply system belong to common knowledge in the field and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] In the refrigerator 100, if Figures 1 to 10As shown, the ice maker 20 is arranged in the refrigeration chamber 15, and the ice maker 20 is configured to produce ice cubes.

The ice blocking plate 24 includes a connecting portion 241, a blocking portion 242 and an ice guiding portion 243; the connecting portion 241 is connected to the ice making grid 22, the blocking portion 242 extends from the connecting portion 241 to the inside of the ice making grid 22, and the ice guiding portion 243 is arranged on a side of the connecting portion 241 away from the ice making grid 22, and the ice guiding portion 243 is used to guide the trajectory of ice cubes falling into the ice storage box 25. The ice cubes are guided by the ice guiding portion 243, and the ice cubes contact the ice guiding portion 243 during the falling process, so that the ice cubes have a lateral impulse, so as to prevent the ice cubes from falling vertically into the ice storage box 25 and causing the ice cubes to accumulate under the ice making grid 22. The lateral impulse of the ice cubes can make the ice cubes more evenly distributed in the ice storage box 25, thereby increasing the ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 25.

[0057] Furthermore, the mounting frame 21 is mounted on the inner container 12, and the mounting frame 21 is used to hoist the ice tray 22, the ice scraper rod 23 and the ice shield 24 in the refrigeration chamber 15. In this embodiment, the mounting frame 21 is generally L-shaped, and the mounting frame 21 includes a first mounting portion 211 and a second mounting portion 212. The first mounting portion 211 extends along the third direction and is connected to the inner container 12, and the second mounting portion 212 extends along the first direction toward the direction close to the ice storage box 25, and the second mounting portion 212 is perpendicular to the first mounting portion 211.

[0058] Further, the ice making grid 22 is mounted on the second mounting portion 212, and the ice making grid 22 is roughly rectangular and long and extends along the third direction. The ice making grid 22 is arranged in parallel with the first mounting portion 211. In this embodiment, a water tank 225 is arranged on the ice making grid 22. The water tank 225 is arranged in a groove shape on the side of the ice making grid 22 facing the first mounting portion 211, and the water tank 225 is used to accommodate the injected water to provide a space for the water to condense into ice cubes. There are multiple water tanks 225, and each water tank 225 is evenly spaced along the third direction on the ice making grid 22. A partition 221 is arranged on the ice making grid 22, and the partition 221 is arranged between two adjacent water tanks 225 in a straight plate shape. The partition 221 blocks the water tanks 225 to ensure that multiple ice cubes are made at the same time and increase the ice making amount.

[0059] Furthermore, the ice maker 20 further includes a heating pipe 26. The heating pipe 26 is in the shape of a long strip, and is embedded in the side of the ice tray 22 away from the ice scraping rod 23. The heating pipe 26 is used to heat the ice tray 22 so that the ice cubes are separated from the ice tray 22, and the ice cubes are conveniently pushed out of the ice tray 22. In this embodiment, the ice maker 20 further includes a condenser 27. The condenser 27 is in the shape of a long strip, and is embedded in the side of the ice tray 22 away from the ice scraping rod 23. The condenser 27 is used to heat the ice tray 22 so as to condense the water in the water tank 225 into ice cubes.

[0060] Further, the ice scraping rod 23 is arranged between the ice making tray 22 and the first mounting portion 211, and one end of the ice scraping rod 23 is rotatably connected to the second mounting portion 212. The ice scraping rod 23 is used to push out the ice cubes in the water tank 225, and the ice scraping rod 23 rotates relative to the mounting frame 21, thereby pushing the ice cubes to rotate relative to the mounting frame 21. In this embodiment, the ice scraping rod 23 includes a rotating shaft portion 231 and an ice pushing portion 232. The rotating shaft portion 231 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and the rotating shaft portion 231 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 21, and the rotating shaft portion 231 extends along the third direction; the ice pushing portion 232 is in the shape of an elongated strip and convexly arranged on one side of the rotating shaft portion 231. The rotation of the rotating shaft portion 231 drives the ice pushing portion 232 to rotate, and the ice pushing portion 232 is used to push out the ice cubes in the water tank 225, and the ice pushing portion 232 pushes the ice cubes to rotate relative to the mounting frame 21. Specifically, the ice scraper rod 23 pushes the ice cubes to escape from the side of the water tank 225 away from the ice shield 24, and the ice scraper rod 23 rotates one circle to push the ice cubes toward the ice shield 24. In this embodiment, the ice maker 20 further includes a driving member 28. The rotating end of the driving member 28 is connected to the rotating shaft portion 231, and the driving member 28 is installed on the mounting frame 21. The driving member 28 is used to provide the torque required for the ice scraper rod 23 to rotate. Specifically, the driving member 28 is a motor.

[0061] Furthermore, the ice scraping rod 23 also includes a rib portion 233. The rib portion 233 is arranged on one side of the ice pushing portion 232, and the rib portion 233 is in the shape of a long strip. One end of the rib portion 233 is connected to the rotating shaft portion 231. The rib portion 233 is used to improve the connection reliability between the rotating shaft portion 231 and the ice pushing portion 232. The rib portion 233 improves the hardness of the ice pushing portion 232, thereby improving the reliability of the ice pushing portion 232 pushing the ice cubes. In this embodiment, a cut surface 235 is provided at one end of the ice pushing portion 232 away from the rotating shaft portion 231. The cut surface 235 is inclinedly arranged along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft portion 231 and gradually approaches the ice making grid 22. The cut surface 235 is used to increase the thrust of the ice pushing portion 232 on the ice cubes at the junction position with the ice making grid 22, thereby improving the stability of the ice scraping rod 23 to separate the ice cubes in the ice making grid 22.

[0062] Further, the connecting portion 241 of the ice blocking plate 24 is roughly in the shape of a straight plate, and the connecting portion 241 is arranged on one side of the ice making grid 22, and the connecting portion 241 is connected to the ice making grid 22. The blocking portion 242 is in the shape of a long strip, and the blocking portion 242 extends obliquely from the connecting portion 241 to the direction of the ice making grid 22 in a shape of gradually approaching the ice scraping rod 23, and the blocking portion 242 is used to block the ice cubes pushed out by the ice pushing portion 232 to prevent the ice cubes from falling back into the ice making grid 22. In this embodiment, the number of the blocking portions 242 is at least two, and each blocking portion 242 is arranged in parallel along the connecting portion 241 at uniform intervals, and the ice pushing portion 232 is correspondingly arranged at the interval position between two adjacent blocking portions 242, and the number of the ice pushing portion 232 is one less than the number of the blocking portions 242, and the number of the ice pushing portion 232 is the same as the number of the water troughs 225, so as to ensure that the ice pushing portion 232 pushes out the ice cubes in each water trough 225.

[0063] Furthermore, the ice guide portion 243 of the ice-blocking plate 24 is in the shape of a straight plate, and the ice guide portion 243 is arranged on the side of the connecting portion 241 away from the ice making grid 22, and there is an inclination angle α between the extension plane where the ice guide portion 243 is located and the first direction. Among them, 0°<α<90°. To ensure that there is a certain inclination angle between the ice guide portion 243 and the vertical direction, and then in the process of vertical descent of ice cubes, the ice guide portion 243 will apply a lateral impulse to the ice cubes, that is, the ice guide portion 243 will apply an impulse in the third direction to the ice cubes, thereby increasing the scattering range of the ice cubes and ensuring the ice storage capacity. Preferably, the range of the inclination angle α is: 40°<α<50°. Because the inclination angle of 40 to 50 degrees can ensure that the ice cubes have a certain lateral impulse while reducing the vertical impulse, if the angle is too large, the ice cubes will stay on the ice guide part 243 and cause ice jam. If the angle is too small, the lateral impulse of the ice cubes will be insufficient and the ice storage capacity will be affected. After comprehensive consideration, the inclination angle is set to 40 to 50 degrees to balance the scattering area of ​​the ice cubes and the stability of the ice cube guide. In this embodiment, the number of the ice guide parts 243 is at least two, and each ice guide part 243 is arranged in parallel along the connecting part 241 at intervals, thereby ensuring that more ice cubes contact the ice guide part 243 during the falling process, thereby increasing the ice storage capacity.

[0064] Furthermore, the ice shield 24 further includes a warp portion 244. The warp portion 244 is convexly disposed on a side of the connection portion 241 away from the ice making grid 22. The warp portion 244 is convexly disposed in a circular arc shape from the direction of the ice scraper rod 23 to the ice storage box 25 and gradually moves away from the connection portion 241. The warp portion 244 provides an impulse in a second direction during the falling process of the ice cubes, thereby causing the ice cubes to fall into one side of the ice storage box 25. Because an ice crushing structure can be optionally disposed in the ice storage box 25, the ice cubes can enter the ice crushing structure from the side to improve the ice crushing effect. It can be understood that the setting of the warp portion 244 can be set according to the actual use requirements of the user.

[0065] Furthermore, the ice storage box 25 is arranged on a side of the ice making grid 22 away from the ice scraping rod 23, and the opening direction of the ice storage box 25 faces the ice making grid 22, so as to ensure that the ice cubes pushed out by the ice scraping rod 23 fall into the ice storage box 25 for storage under the obstruction of the ice blocking plate 24. In this embodiment, the ice maker 20 further includes a housing 29. The housing 29 is a hollow structure and is arranged at the outermost side of the ice maker 20. An ice making chamber 295 is arranged in the housing 29, the mounting frame 21 is installed in the upper part of the ice making chamber 295, and the ice storage box 25 is installed in the lower part of the ice making chamber 295. The mounting frame 21 and the ice storage box 25 are both fixed to the inner tank 12 through the housing 29.

[0066] The utility model also discloses a refrigerator 100, which includes a box body 10 and an ice maker 20. The box body 10 includes a box shell 11 and an inner liner 12, wherein the inner liner 12 is arranged in the box shell 11, and a refrigeration chamber 15 is arranged inside the inner liner 12. The ice maker 20 is arranged in the refrigeration chamber 15, and is used to produce ice cubes; the ice maker 20 includes a mounting frame 21, an ice making grid 22, an ice scraping rod 23, an ice blocking plate 24 and an ice storage box 25; the mounting frame 21 is connected to the inner liner 12, the ice making grid 22 is connected to the mounting frame 21, the ice scraping rod 23 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 21, the ice scraping rod 23 and the ice storage box 25 are respectively located on both sides of the ice making grid 22 in a first direction, and the ice blocking plate 24 is arranged on one side of the ice making grid 22 in a second direction. The ice-blocking plate 24 includes a connecting portion 241, a blocking portion 242 and an ice-guiding portion 243; the connecting portion 241 is connected to the ice-making tray 22, the blocking portion 242 is arranged on a side of the connecting portion 241 close to the ice-scraping rod 23, the blocking portion 242 is used to block the ice cubes pushed out by the ice-scraping rod 23 from falling back into the ice-making tray 22, the ice-guiding portion 243 is arranged between the blocking portion 242 and the ice storage box 25, the ice-guiding portion 243 is used to guide the trajectory of the ice cubes falling into the ice storage box 25; the connecting portion 241, the blocking portion 242 and the ice-guiding portion 243 are connected as an integral part. By connecting the connecting portion 241, the blocking portion 242 and the ice-guiding portion 243 as an integral part, the ice-blocking plate 24 is an integrated structure, the bearing strength of the ice-blocking plate 24 is improved, and the reliability of providing lateral impulse to the ice cubes is improved.

[0067] In summary, the embodiment of the utility model provides a refrigerator 100, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0068] By arranging an ice guide portion 243 on the side of the ice shield 24 away from the ice making grid 22, the ice guide portion 243 guides the trajectory of the ice cubes falling into the ice storage box 25. The ice guide portion 243 allows the ice cubes to have a certain lateral impulse during the falling process, thereby preventing the ice cubes from being concentrated under the ice making grid 22, increasing the distribution range of the ice cubes in the ice storage box 25, and thus increasing the ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 25.

[0069] By setting the ice guide portion 243 to be in a straight plate shape, and setting an inclination angle between the extension plane where the ice guide portion 243 is located and the first direction, and by setting the inclination angle to forty to fifty degrees, it is ensured that the ice guide portion 243 can reduce the vertical impulse of the ice cubes in the falling process, and at the same time increase the lateral impulse of the ice cubes in the falling process, thereby further increasing the distribution range of the ice cubes in the ice storage box 25, so as to further increase the ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 25.

[0070] By setting the blocking portion 242 to be in the shape of a long strip, the blocking portion 242 extends obliquely from the connecting portion 241 toward the ice tray 22 and gradually approaches the ice scraper rod 23, so that the blocking portion 242 blocks the ice cubes from falling back into the ice storage box 25. At the same time, the obliquely extended blocking portion 242 can guide the ice cubes, thereby causing the ice cubes to hit the ice guide portion 243 at a faster speed, so that the ice cubes obtain a larger lateral impulse, further increasing the distribution range of the ice cubes in the ice storage box 25, and thereby increasing the ice storage capacity of the ice storage box 25.

[0071] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described 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.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
