Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to a rollover protection mechanism for ice making machines. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It uses a refrigeration system and water as a carrier to make ice by passing it through a certain device under power-on conditions. The shape of the ice generated will vary depending on the principle of the evaporator and the production method.

[0003] For example, the patent publication number is CN220507348U, an ice maker and a refrigerator, the ice maker comprising: an ice maker box, a water injection box, an ice cube tray, a handle and an ice storage drawer; one end of the ice maker box is open, and the ice maker box is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity by an L-shaped protrusion; the water injection box is arranged in the first cavity, and the water injection box is connected to the ice maker box; the ice cube tray is arranged in the first cavity, the handle is arranged in the second cavity, the ice cube tray is rotatably connected to the ice maker box, the handle is connected to the ice maker box, the handle is connected to the ice cube tray, the ice storage drawer is arranged in the first cavity, and the ice storage drawer is slidably connected to the ice maker box. After water is added to the water filling box, the water automatically flows into the ice making grid. After the water condenses into ice, the ice cubes in the ice making grid can be poured into the ice storage drawer by turning the handle, so as to solve the problem of complicated ice making operation of the ice making machine. However, when the above ice making machine is in use, the ice cubes can be dropped and collected in the drawer by flipping the ice making grid. Since there is a certain height between the ice making grid and the drawer, when the ice making grid is flipped and the ice cubes fall, they are easily damaged by collision and cannot be used. Therefore, we propose an ice making machine flip protection mechanism to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
