Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigerator ice making, and in particular to an ice maker and a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] The ice maker in the refrigerator is mainly used to make and store ice cubes. In order to improve the utilization rate of the ice maker, some ice makers are also equipped with a water dispensing function to meet the diverse needs of users. In order to separate ice and water dispensing, a dispenser needs to be set on the ice maker. In some refrigerator products, the ice maker is set in the refrigerator or freezer of the refrigerator. However, when the ice maker is set in the refrigerator, it is convenient to take ice and water, but because the temperature in the refrigerator does not reach the freezing temperature, in order to make ice, the structure of the ice maker is complicated, which leads to the occupation of more refrigeration space and affects the use of the refrigeration space.

[0003] In order to save the space in the refrigerator compartment, some double-door refrigerator products have an ice maker installed on the freezer door body and a dispenser installed on the outside of the refrigerator door body, so as to realize taking ice and water from the outside of the door. However, when the ice maker is installed on the freezer door body, although the functions of taking ice and water are realized, the dispenser on the outside of the door body destroys the integrity of the refrigerator appearance. At the same time, due to the complex structure of the ice maker with a dispenser, the freezer door body is thicker, which makes the commonality of the door liner and the door shell low.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following embodiments are described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. They are only examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the claims.

[0033] The ice maker installed in the refrigerated room has a complicated structure in order to make ice, because the temperature in the refrigerated room cannot reach the freezing temperature, which leads to the occupation of more refrigerated space and affects the use of the refrigerated room space. The ice maker installed on the freezer door body has a dispenser installed on the outside of the door body in order to achieve the function of taking ice and water. The ice maker with a dispenser has a complicated structure, which leads to a thicker freezer door body, and the commonality of the door liner and door shell is low.

[0034] In order to solve the problem of complex structure of ice making machine, some embodiments of the present application provide an ice making machine, see Figure 1-2 The ice maker includes: a first housing 401, an ice making module 406, an ice storage box 408, a controller, a first water path 411 and a second water path 411. The first water path 411 includes a first power pump 4121, and the second water path 411 includes a second power pump 4111; the ice making module 406, the first power pump 4121, and the second power pump 4111 are electrically connected to the controller respectively.

[0035] See also Figure 3The first shell 401 includes an ice-making area at the top and a water supply area at the bottom. In some embodiments, the ice-making area and the water supply area can be made by an integrated molding process. The ice-making area can be a rectangular trough structure. The tops of the four sides of the ice-making area are provided with outward flanges, and a gap is left between the flanges and the side walls of the ice-making area trough. The water supply area can also be a rectangular trough structure. The tops of both sides of the water supply area are also provided with outward flanges. The depth of the trough of the water supply area can be set to be smaller than the depth of the trough of the ice-making area. Due to the integrated molding, the flanges on both sides of the water supply area are coplanar with the flanges on both sides of the ice-making area. It can be understood that the height of the flange of the water supply area is smaller than the height of the flange of the ice-making area.

[0036] See also Fig. 9 A first air inlet 4011 and a first air return 4012 are arranged on one side of the ice-making area of ​​the first housing 401, and the first air inlet 4011 and the first air return 4012 are arranged on the side close to the side wall of the refrigerating compartment. When the refrigerating door is closed, the first air inlet 4011 and the first air return 4012 overlap with the second air inlet 21 and the second air return 22 in the refrigerating compartment, respectively. After the refrigerating mode of the refrigerating compartment is turned on, a part of the cold air with a lower temperature directly enters the ice-making area through the first air inlet 4011 and the second air inlet 21 that overlap with each other, providing coldness for ice-making, and freezing the water in the ice-making area. After heat exchange in the ice-making area, the cold air returns to the refrigerator air duct through the first air return 4012 and the second air return 22.

[0037] The ice making module 406 and the ice storage box 408 are arranged in the ice making area of ​​the first shell 401, and the highest point of the ice storage box 408 is lower than the lowest point of the ice making module 406. The ice making module 406 is provided with an ice tray, and liquid water enters the ice tray to form ice cubes at low temperature to make ice. The ice making module 406 is rotatably connected to the first shell 401 and can be turned relative to the first shell 401. It can be understood that the ice storage box 408 is arranged below the ice making module 406, and the ice storage box 408 can be a rectangular trough structure. The ice storage box 408 is used to receive and store ice cubes dropped from the ice making module 406. When ice is needed, the ice storage box 408 is taken out and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 408 are poured out. It should also be noted that the turning direction of the ice making module 406 should be toward the inner side of the first shell 401 to reduce the probability of ice cubes falling out of the ice storage box 408.

[0038] The ice making area and the water supply area are connected at the middle of the first shell 401. A water inlet 4013 is provided at the middle of the first shell 401. In some embodiments, the water inlet 4013 may be a round tube structure. The bottom of the first shell 401, i.e., the water supply area, is provided with a first water supply inlet and a second water supply inlet; the two ends of the first water path 411 are respectively detachably connected to the first water supply inlet and the water inlet 4013; the two ends of the second water path 411 are respectively detachably connected to the second water supply inlet and the ice making module 406. A water tank can be set on the side of the refrigeration door body, and the water tank is connected to the first water supply port and the second water supply port through a water pipe. Since the first water circuit 411 is provided with a first power pump 4121, and the second water circuit 411 is provided with a second power pump 4111, when the first power pump 4121 is turned on, ice water can be transported to the water intake 4013 through the first water circuit 411, so that the user can take water at the water intake 4013; when the second power pump 4111 is turned on, water can be supplied to the ice-making module 406 through the second water circuit 411 to make ice.

[0039] After the ice-making mode is turned on, the controller can control the refrigeration mode of the refrigerated compartment to turn on, and can also control the turning of the ice-making module 406, and control the opening and closing of the first power pump 4121 and the second power pump 4111. When ice-making is needed, the ice-making mode is turned on, and the first power pump 4121 is turned on to provide coldness to the ice-making module 406. At the same time, the second power pump 4111 is turned on for a first time period so that ice water enters the ice-making module 406 through the second water path 411. After ice cubes are formed in the ice-making module 406, if ice needs to be taken, the ice-taking mode is turned on to turn the ice-making module 406 so that the ice cubes in the ice-making module 406 fall into the ice storage box 408, and then the ice storage box 408 is taken out and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 408 are poured out. If water needs to be taken, the ice-taking water mode is turned on to control the first power pump 4121 to turn on so that the ice water flows out along the water inlet 4013 through the first water path 411. It is understandable that the above-mentioned ice making mode and ice water taking mode can be operated respectively through the buttons on the control panel.

[0040] The ice maker of the present application is a rectangular structure with a regular appearance. By setting the first shell 401 as an upper and lower structure, the space is reasonably utilized, so that the overall size of the ice maker is reduced and less space is occupied inside the refrigerator. By setting the first water path 411 and the second water path 411, connecting the first water path 411 with the water intake 4013, and connecting the second water path 411 with the ice making module 406, the water intake circuit and the ice making circuit can be separated. At the same time, by setting the water intake 4013 in the middle of the first shell 401, it is possible to separate water intake and ice intake without using a complicated distributor, and the structure is simple.

[0041] See again Figure 1In some embodiments, the ice maker further includes a first water reservoir 410 and a second water reservoir 409. A platform 4014 is provided in the water supply area of ​​the first housing 401. The platform 4014 is a plane extending from the bottom of the first housing 401. The first water reservoir 410 and the second water reservoir 409 are detachably connected to the top surface of the platform 4014. A groove is provided at the bottom of the first water reservoir 410 and the second water reservoir 409. A first placement platform 4016 and a second placement platform 4017 may be provided on the platform 4014 to limit the first water reservoir 410 and the second water reservoir 409, respectively. A third placement platform 4015 may also be provided on the top surface of the platform 4014 to place a water cup when taking ice water.

[0042] See also Figure 4-8 The bottom surfaces of the first water reservoir 410 and the second water reservoir 409 are both provided with a spring water inlet 4101 and a sealing cover 4102. When the first water reservoir 410 or the second water reservoir 409 leaves the platform 4014, the spring water inlet 4101 and the sealing cover 4102 are used to seal the bottom surface of the first water reservoir 410 or the bottom surface of the second water reservoir 409. The first waterway 411 and the second waterway 411 also include a water pipe connector 4123 and a water pipe 4122. It can be understood that the first water supply port and the second water supply port are respectively provided on the first placement platform 4016 and the second placement platform 4017, and the first waterway 411 is connected to the bottom surface of the first water reservoir 410 through the water pipe connector 4123 and the first water supply port, and the second waterway 411 is connected to the bottom surface of the second water reservoir 409 through the water pipe connector 4123 and the second water supply port.

[0043] By arranging a spring water inlet 4101 and a sealing cover 4102 on the bottom surface of the first water reservoir 410 or the bottom surface of the second water reservoir 409, and respectively arranging a water pipe connector 4123, the first water reservoir 410 or the second water reservoir 409 can automatically supply water to the first waterway 411 or the second waterway 411. Exemplarily, under the tension of the spring inside the spring water inlet 4101, the internal sealing cover 4102 seals the water outlet, and the bottom of the first water reservoir 410 does not leak; when the first water reservoir 410 is placed on the first placement table 4016, the top rod at the bottom of the water pipe connector 4123 lifts the spring inside the spring water inlet 4111, and at this time, the sealing cover 4102 is separated from the bottom of the first water reservoir 410, and ice water can flow into the water pipe 4122. By setting up the first water storage tank 410, ice water can be stored and taken out as needed, which is convenient for users to get water. By setting up the second water storage tank 409, ice water can be automatically provided to the ice making module 406, and at the same time, the excess space in the water supply area is reasonably utilized.

[0044] See again Figure 1The ice maker also includes a second shell 402, and the first shell 401 is clamped with the second shell 402. A hanging ear 4021 is provided on one side of the second shell 402, and the hanging ear 4021 is used to clamp the ice maker 4 to the side of the refrigeration door. In some embodiments, the structure of the hanging ear 4021 can be the same as the hanging ear structure on both sides of the bottle frame on the refrigerator door. When the ice maker 4 is needed, the ice maker 4 is clamped to the side of the refrigeration door. When the ice maker 4 is not used, the ice maker 4 can be removed and the bottle frame can be clamped on the refrigeration door. At the same time, by hanging the ice maker 4 on the refrigeration door, the space of the refrigeration compartment can be saved, and ice and water can be taken without bending over, which is convenient for operation.

[0045] See again Figure 3 After the first shell 401 and the second shell 402 are connected, cavities 403 are formed on both sides of the first shell 401 and the second shell 402, and the water pipes 4122 of the first water channel 411 and the second water channel 411 are arranged in the cavity 403, so that the water pipes 4122 can be hidden. The cavity 403 is filled with heat-insulating material to form a heat-insulating layer to keep the ice cubes in the ice-making module 406 warm.

[0046] See again Figure 1 In some embodiments, the ice maker further includes a baffle 407 , which is engaged with the side of the ice making module 406 . The baffle 407 can reduce the probability of ice cubes dropped from the ice making module 406 falling out of the ice storage box 408 .

[0047] The ice maker further includes an ice maker door 404 and a sealing strip 405. The ice maker door 404 is a rectangular structure, and is hinged to the first shell 401. The sealing strip 405 is arranged on one side of the first shell 401 close to the ice maker door 404. By arranging the sealing strip 405, after the ice maker door 404 is closed, the first shell 401 can be sealed to reduce the contamination of the food to the ice cubes.

[0048] When ice cubes are needed, the ice maker door 404 can be opened, the ice storage box 408 can be taken out, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 408 can be poured out; when a large amount of ice water is needed, the first water storage tank 410 can be lifted and the ice water can be poured out directly from the first water storage tank 410; when a small amount of ice water is needed, the ice water button can be pressed, and the first power pump 4121 on the first water path 411 will pump out the ice water in the first water storage tank 410 through the water pipe 4122, and take water through the water intake 4013.

[0049] Based on the ice maker provided in the above embodiment, some embodiments of the present application also provide a refrigerator, see Fig. 9The refrigerator comprises: a box body 1, a refrigerating door body 3 and an ice maker 4 provided in the above embodiment, the box body 1 is hinged with the refrigerating door body 3, a refrigerating compartment 2 is arranged in the box body 1, the ice maker 4 is arranged on a side of the refrigerating door body 3 close to the refrigerating compartment 2, and the ice maker 4 is detachably connected to the refrigerating door body 3. By arranging the ice maker 4 on the refrigerating door body 3, ice and water can be taken without bending over, which is convenient for operation, and at the same time, the space of the refrigerating compartment 3 can be saved.

[0050] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the embodiment of the present application provides an ice maker and a refrigerator, and the ice maker includes: a first shell 401, an ice making module 406, an ice storage box 408, a controller, a first water path 411 and a second water path 411. Among them, the first water path 411 includes a first power pump 4121, and the second water path 411 includes a second power pump 4111; the ice making module 406, the first power pump 4121, and the second power pump 4111 are electrically connected to the controller respectively. The first water path 411 is connected to the water inlet 4013; the second water path 411 is connected to the ice making module 406. The ice maker is arranged on the refrigeration door body. After the refrigeration door body is closed, the first air inlet 4011 and the first air return port 4012 on one side of the first shell 401 overlap with the second air inlet 21 and the second air return port 22 in the refrigeration compartment respectively. When ice making is required, the controller controls the refrigeration mode of the refrigerated compartment to start, providing cold capacity for the ice maker, and controls the second power pump 4111 to start, providing ice water for the ice making module 406. When water is required, the first power pump 4121 is controlled to start, and when ice is required, the ice making module 406 is controlled to flip, the ice storage box 408 is taken out, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 408 are poured out. By setting the first water path 411 and the second water path 411, the water intake circuit can be separated from the ice making circuit. At the same time, by setting the ice storage box 408 and the water intake port 4013 in the first housing 401, it is possible to separate water and ice without using a complex distributor. The structure is simple, less space is occupied in the refrigerator, and the problem of complex structure of the ice maker can be solved.

For those skilled in the art, any other implementation methods expanded based on the scheme of this application without creative work belong to the protection scope of this application.
