Embodiment 1

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 5 A flip connection structure of an ice box includes an ice box 1 and an ice scraper plate 2. The ice box 1 and the ice scraper plate 2 are rotatably connected via a rotating connection member 3, and both the ice box 1 and the ice scraper plate 2 are provided with a structure for cooperating with the rotating connection member 3.

[0030] In addition, a first rotating shaft 33 and a first axial hole rotatably matched with the first rotating shaft 33 are provided between the rotating connecting member 3 and the first rotating connecting portion 11. One of the first rotating shaft 33 and the first axial hole is integrally arranged on the rotating connecting member 3, and the other of the first rotating shaft 33 and the first axial hole is integrally arranged on the first rotating connecting portion 11. A first passing groove for the first rotating shaft 33 to be inserted is provided on the side surface of the first axial hole. In Embodiment 1, the first rotating shaft 33 is integrally arranged on the rotating connecting member 3, and the first axial hole is integrally arranged on the first rotating connecting portion 11.

[0031] In addition, a second rotating shaft 32 and a second axial hole rotatably matched with the second rotating shaft 32 are provided between the rotating connecting member 3 and the second rotating connecting part 21. One of the second rotating shaft 32 and the second axial hole is integrally arranged on the rotating connecting member 3, and the other of the second rotating shaft 32 and the second axial hole is integrally arranged on the second rotating connecting part 21. A second passing groove for the second rotating shaft 32 to be inserted is provided on the side of the second axial hole. In Example 1, the second rotating shaft 32 is integrally arranged on the rotating connecting member 3, and the second axial hole is integrally arranged on the second rotating connecting part 21.

[0032] Of course, the number of rotating connectors 3 can be determined according to actual conditions. When the ice box 1 and the ice scraper plate 2 are shorter, while ice making can be effectively guaranteed, only one rotating connector 3 can be set at the center of the ice box 1 and the ice scraper plate 2. However, usually, in order to ensure uniform force and stable function, two rotating connectors 3 are set here as a preferred solution.

[0033] The rotating connecting member 3 includes a connecting block 31, on both side working surfaces of the connecting block 31 are provided a first rotating shaft 33 cooperating with the first rotating connecting part 11 and a second rotating shaft 32 cooperating with the second rotating connecting part 21, and a rotating matching part 34 is integrally provided on at least one side working surface of the connecting block 31 and between the second rotating shaft 32 and the first rotating shaft 33.

[0034] Specifically, the ice box 1 includes a cavity 10 with an opening at the top, and a first rotating connection part 11 is arranged on the cavity wall eaves of the cavity 10 on the side of the ice box 1 close to the ice scraper plate 2. Of course, the number of the first rotating connection parts 11 is consistent with the number of the rotating connection parts 3, which is also two. To ensure the distribution of force, it is preferred to symmetrically arrange the positions at both ends of the length direction of the eaves of the cavity wall of the ice box 1, and protrude along the eaves. The structures of the first rotating connection parts 11 at both ends are consistent, and both are double-ear structures with a first clamping position. This double-ear connection method makes the connection more effective.

[0035] Among them, the first snap-in position includes a first snap-in 111 and a first rotating chamber 112, and the two structures are arranged as an integral whole. In order to realize assembly with the ice box 1, it is obvious that the opening of the first snap-in 111 is away from one side of the cavity of the ice box 1 and is arranged in the horizontal direction. The first rotating chamber 112 that can accommodate the first rotating shaft 33 is located on the rear side of the first snap-in 111, and the opening size of the first snap-in 111 is smaller than the maximum size of the first rotating chamber 112, that is, the opening of the first snap-in 111 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating chamber, and the cross-section is C-shaped. In order to cooperate with the corresponding snap-in structure, the first rotating shaft 33 adopts a connecting shaft structure, which can be inserted into the first rotating chamber 112 through the elastic deformation of the first snap-in 111, and can rotate normally inside without falling out of the rotating chamber.

[0036] In order to increase the length of the first engaging position, a reinforcing rib 113 is integrally provided along the lower edge of the opening of the first engaging opening 111 toward the outer cavity wall of the ice-making box.

[0037] The ice scraping plate 2 includes a flat plate with an upwardly raised arc edge 20 on the upper working surface of the plate. The length of the plate matches the ice box 1. A second rotating connection part 21 is provided on the ice scraping plate 2. Naturally, the second rotating connection part 21 is arranged on the side of the ice scraping plate 2 close to the ice box 1, which not only corresponds to the setting position and setting number of the first rotating connection part 11, but also is consistent with the setting number of the second rotating shaft 32.

[0038] The two ends of one side of the ice scraper plate 2 with the upwardly tilted arc edge are symmetrically provided with inwardly contracted step structures, and the two sets of second rotating connecting parts 21 are respectively provided at the two inwardly contracted step structures.

[0039] The second rotating connection part 21 is a double-ear structure extending outward along the working surface of the ice scraper board 2, and can also be regarded as an extension arm structure. A second clamping position is provided on the lower working surface of the double-ear structure or the extension arm structure, that is, in the direction consistent with the lower working surface of the board.

[0040] The second engaging position includes a second engaging slot 211 and a second rotating cavity 212, and the two structures are integrally arranged, wherein the second engaging slot 211 is vertically arranged and the opening direction is consistent with the direction of the lower working surface of the ice scraper plate, and the second rotating cavity 212 which can accommodate the rotating connecting shaft is located at the rear side of the second engaging slot 211. Similarly, the opening size of the second engaging slot 211 is smaller than the maximum size of the second rotating cavity 212, that is, the opening of the second engaging slot 211 is smaller than the diameter of the second rotating cavity 212, and the cross-section is C-shaped. In order to cooperate with the corresponding engaging structure, the second rotating shaft 32 also adopts a connecting shaft structure, so that the second rotating shaft 32 is inserted into the second rotating cavity 212 through elastic deformation, and can rotate normally inside without falling out of the second rotating cavity 212.

[0041] Of course, a second inclined surface 213 is provided on the working surface of the extended end of the second rotating connecting portion 21 for matching with the first inclined surface 341 on the rotating matching portion 34 .

[0042] As mentioned above, in the present disclosure, two groups of rotating connectors 3 are preferably used to ensure the effectiveness of the connection. Therefore, corresponding to the two groups of first rotating connectors 11 and the two groups of second rotating connectors 21, two groups of rotating connectors 3 are correspondingly arranged. It is worth noting that the two groups of rotating connectors are arranged in a mirror image, and the specific mechanism is as follows.

[0043] The rotating connecting member 3 includes a connecting block 31, a first rotating shaft 33 and a second rotating shaft 32. Since the first rotating connecting part 11 and the second rotating connecting part 21 are double-ear structures, the second rotating shaft 32 and the first rotating shaft 33 are naturally symmetrically arranged on the working surfaces on both sides of the connecting block 31 and extend outward as a whole, that is, the left second rotating shaft 32, the right second rotating shaft 32, the left first rotating shaft 33 and the right first rotating shaft 33. Naturally, the left first rotating shaft 33 and the right first rotating shaft 33 are respectively inserted into the two first rotating cavities 112 of the first rotating connecting part 11, and the left second rotating shaft 32 and the right second rotating shaft 32 are respectively inserted into the two second rotating cavities 212 of the double-ear structure of the second rotating connecting part 21.

[0044] A rotating fitting portion 34 is integrally provided on at least one side working surface of the connecting block 31 and between the second rotating shaft 32 and the first rotating shaft 33. To save processing costs, preferably, only one set of rotating fitting portions 34 is provided to meet usage requirements. Of course, for symmetry and beauty, rotating fitting portions 34 may also be provided on both sides.

[0045] Since the two connecting blocks 31 are mirror-imaged, the rotating fitting parts 34 are both arranged on the inner side of the connecting blocks 31, that is, the rotating fitting parts 34 on the two connecting blocks 31 are opposite to each other, and a first inclined surface 341 is provided at the contact position between the rotating fitting part 34 and the second rotating connecting part 21. In the ice-making state, the ice-making box is in a horizontal position and the ice-shoveling plate 2 is in a naturally falling state. Through the cooperation of the first inclined surface 341 and the second inclined surface 213, the ice-shoveling plate and the ice-making box can maintain a certain angle, thereby meeting the use requirements of the ice-making box. Embodiment 2

[0046] Compared with the first embodiment, the main differences are:

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the rotating connection member 3, the first rotating connection part 11, and the second rotating connection part 21 are all in two groups.

[0048] Among them, on one side of the ice box 1, there are two first rotating connecting parts 11, one of which is integrally provided with the first rotating shaft 33, and the corresponding rotating connecting member 3 is integrally provided with the first shaft hole, and the other one is integrally provided with the first shaft hole, and the corresponding rotating connecting member 3 is integrally provided with the first rotating shaft 33.

[0049] On one side of the ice scraper plate 2, there are also two second rotating connection parts 21, one of which is integrally provided with a second rotating shaft 32, and the corresponding rotating connection member 3 is integrally provided with a second shaft hole, and the other one is integrally provided with a second shaft hole, and the corresponding rotating connection member 3 is integrally provided with a second rotating shaft 32. Embodiment 3

[0050] Compared with the first embodiment, the main differences are:

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the rotating connection member 3, the first rotating connection part 11, and the second rotating connection part 21 are also two groups.

[0052] There are two first rotating connection parts 11 on one side of the ice box 1 , both of which are integrally provided with a first rotating shaft 33 , and each corresponding rotating connection member 3 is integrally provided with a first shaft hole.

[0053] On one side of the ice scraper plate 2, there are also two second rotating connection parts 21, both of which are integrally provided with a second rotating shaft 32, and each corresponding rotating connection member 3 is integrally provided with a second shaft hole.

[0054] Through the above technical solution, by connecting the traditional multiple groups of pins and multiple groups of connecting parts with each other using the first rotating connecting part 11, the rotating connecting part 3, and the second rotating connecting part 21, not only the assembly is more convenient, the assembly consistency is higher, and the maintenance is more convenient, which has a good market prospect.

[0055] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments.
