[0034] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0035] The present disclosure provides an ice making machine. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the ice maker includes an ice rack 100, an ice motor 200, a limiting device 300 and an ice container 400. The ice motor 200 is disposed on the ice rack 100, the limiting device 300 is disposed on the ice rack 100, and the limiting device 300 includes a limiting portion. The ice container 400 is connected to the ice motor 200, and the ice motor 200 can drive the ice container 400 to rotate. The ice container 400 is provided with a limiting matching portion. When the ice container 400 rotates to the initial position, the limiting matching portion cooperates with the limiting portion to limit the ice container 400 from continuing to rotate.

[0036] In this optional embodiment, the ice-making motor 200 is disposed on the ice-making rack 100, and the ice-making motor 200 is connected to the ice-making container 400, and the ice-making motor 200 can drive the ice-making container 400 to rotate. When the ice-making container 400 needs to be turned over and de-iced, the ice-making motor 200 drives the ice-making container 400 to rotate so as to turn over and de-iced. After the ice-making container 400 is turned over and de-iced, the ice-making motor 200 rotates in the opposite direction so that the ice-making container 400 is reset to the initial position and kept horizontal so as to add water and make ice next time.

[0037] When the ice-making container 400 rotates to the initial position, the limiting part of the limiting device 300 cooperates with the limiting matching part of the ice-making container 400 to limit the ice-making container 400 and the ice-making motor 200 from continuing to rotate. In this way, when the ice-making motor 200 does not rotate according to the set angle, the ice-making motor 200 continues to drive the ice-making container 400 to rotate, and the accuracy of the ice-making container 400 resetting is increased, thereby improving the working stability and reliability of the ice-making machine and improving the user experience.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the ice-making motor 200 includes a motor body and an output shaft 210 connected to each other, and the motor body is disposed on the ice-making rack 100 .

[0039] The ice-making container 400 includes a container body 410 and a connecting sleeve 420 connected to each other. The connecting sleeve 420 is connected to the output shaft 210. The container body 410 is provided with a limiting fitting portion, or the circumferential side wall of the connecting sleeve 420 is provided with a limiting fitting portion.

[0040] In this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 420 is connected to the output shaft 210 of the ice-making motor 200. The ice-making motor 200 drives the connecting sleeve 420 to rotate through the output shaft 210. The connecting sleeve 420 is connected to the container body 410. The connecting sleeve 420 drives the container body 410 to rotate when the connecting sleeve 420 rotates. The circumferential side wall of the connecting sleeve 420 is provided with a limiting matching portion. When the ice-making container is located at the initial position, the connecting sleeve 420 can be limited by the limiting portion and the limiting matching portion. When the ice-making container 400 rotates to the initial position, the ice-making container 400 is limited to continue to rotate, thereby limiting the output shaft 210 of the ice-making motor 200 from continuing to rotate.

[0041] Compared with the case where the limiting groove 421 is provided on the container body 410, the limiting matching portion is provided on the connecting sleeve 420, and the rotational force of the output shaft 210 is only transmitted to the connecting sleeve 420, which can reduce the rotation amount of the container body 410 during limiting and improve the accuracy of controlling the rotation of the ice-making container 400.

[0042] Optionally, the limiting portion includes one of the matching limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting groove 421, and the limiting matching portion includes the other of the matching limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting groove 421. The limiting protrusion 310 can be located in the limiting groove 421, or the limiting protrusion 310 can be separated from the limiting groove 421. In this embodiment, when the limiting protrusion 310 is located in the limiting groove 421, the ice-making container 400 is located in the initial position. When the limiting protrusion 310 is separated from the limiting groove 421, the ice-making container 400 is in a flipped ice-removing state, or in a reverse rotation reset process.

[0043] Further, the ice-making motor 200 is configured to have a rotational force greater than ... When the ice-making motor 200 rotates along the second rotation direction, the rotational force of the ice-making motor 200 is relatively small. When the limiting protrusion 310 is located in the limiting groove 421, the ice-making motor 200 cannot drive the limiting groove 421 to separate from the limiting protrusion 310, thereby limiting the ice-making motor 200 from continuing to rotate along the second rotation direction, so that the ice-making container 400 can be in the initial position, thereby improving the working stability and reliability of the ice-making machine and improving the user experience.

[0044] For example, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, taking the example in which the limiting portion includes a limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting matching portion includes a limiting groove 421, the limiting device 300 also includes a sliding component 330 and a fixing component 320, the fixing component 320 is located on one side of the ice-making container 400, the first end of the sliding component 330 is connected to the fixing component 320, the second end of the sliding component 330 extends toward the ice-making container 400, and the limiting portion is arranged at the second end of the sliding component 330.

[0045] Along the direction from the fixing member 320 toward the ice-making container 400 , the limiting portion can move toward or away from the ice-making container 400 through the sliding assembly 330 , so that the limiting portion is matched with or separated from the limiting matching portion.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fixing member 320 is located at one side of the ice-making container 400, and both ends of the sliding assembly 330 are respectively connected to the fixing member 320 and the limiting protrusion 310. In other words, the fixing member 320, the sliding assembly 330 and the limiting protrusion 310 are all located at one side of the ice-making container 400, that is, the limiting device 300 is located at one side of the ice-making container 400.

[0047] The limiting protrusion 310 is adapted to the limiting groove 421, the limiting device 300 is located on the side of the ice-making container 400 provided with the limiting groove 421, and the connecting sleeve 420 of the ice-making container 400 is provided with the limiting groove 421, that is, the limiting device 300 is located on the side of the circumferential side wall of the connecting sleeve 420, the fixing member 320 is located on the side of the circumferential side wall of the connecting sleeve 420, and the second end of the sliding assembly 330 extends toward the circumferential side wall of the connecting sleeve 420.

[0048] Along the direction from the fixing member 320 toward the ice-making container 400, the limiting protrusion 310 can move toward or away from the ice-making container 400 through the sliding member, so that the limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting groove 421 are matched or separated. In this way, when the ice-making container 400 is in the initial position, the limiting groove 421 is arranged opposite to the limiting protrusion 310, and the limiting protrusion 310 can move toward the connecting sleeve 420 through the sliding assembly 330, so that the limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting groove 421 are matched, thereby limiting the ice-making container 400. When the ice-making motor 200 drives the connecting sleeve 420 to rotate, the connecting sleeve 420 can apply a force to the limiting protrusion 310, so that the limiting protrusion 310 moves away from the connecting sleeve 420 through the sliding assembly 330, so that the limiting protrusion 310 and the limiting groove 421 are separated, and the ice-making motor 200 drives the ice-making container 400 to rotate.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the sliding assembly 330 includes a sliding rod 331 and an elastic member 332 , and the fixing member 320 is provided with a sliding groove, which extends along the fixing member 320 toward the ice-making container 400 .

[0050] The first end of the sliding rod 331 is arranged in the sliding groove, and the first end of the sliding rod 331 can slide relative to the sliding groove. The limiting portion is arranged at the second end of the sliding groove. The elastic member 332 is connected to the sliding rod 331, and the elastic member 332 is used to provide a force to the sliding rod 331 toward the ice-making container 400.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first end of the sliding rod 331 is disposed in the sliding groove, the sliding groove extends along the fixing member 320 toward the ice-making container 400, and the first end of the sliding rod 331 can slide relative to the sliding groove. In this way, when the sliding rod 331 slides relative to the sliding groove, it can slide toward the connecting shaft sleeve 420 or away from the connecting shaft sleeve 420, so that the limiting protrusion 310 disposed at the second end of the sliding rod 331 can slide toward or away from the connecting shaft sleeve 420, thereby connecting with or separating from the limiting groove 421.

[0052] When the ice-making motor 200 drives the connecting sleeve 420 to rotate, the connecting sleeve 420 can exert a force on the limiting protrusion 310, so that the limiting protrusion 310 and the sliding rod 331 move away from the connecting sleeve 420. The elastic member 332 is connected to the sliding rod 331, and the elastic member 332 provides a force to the sliding rod 331 toward the connecting sleeve 420. In this way, when the ice-making container 400 is in the initial position, the elastic member 332 can drive the sliding rod 331 and the limiting protrusion 310 to move toward the connecting sleeve 420, so that the limiting protrusion 310 is adapted to the limiting groove 421.

[0053] Optionally, the elastic member 332 includes a compression spring. The compression spring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 331, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively connected to the fixing member 320 and the limiting protrusion 310. Alternatively, the two ends of the compression spring are respectively connected to the fixing member 320 and the second end of the sliding rod 331.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the limiting protrusion 310 includes a first side wall and a second side wall, and an angle is provided between the extension direction of the first side wall and the extension direction of the second side wall, and the opening of the angle faces the sliding rod 331. The first side wall and / or the second side wall can be located in the limiting groove 421 and connected to the side wall of the limiting groove 421.

[0055] In this embodiment, an angle is provided between the extension direction of the first side wall and the extension direction of the second side wall, and the opening of the angle faces the sliding rod 331. That is, along the direction of the connecting sleeve 420 toward the fixing member 320, the first side wall and the second side wall are inclined, and the connection between the first side wall and the second side wall is located at the end of the limiting protrusion 310 facing the connecting sleeve 420.

[0056] Optionally, along the first rotation direction, the first side wall and the second side wall are sequentially arranged. The limiting groove 421 includes a third side wall and a fourth side wall. When the limiting protrusion 310 is located in the limiting groove 421, the third side wall is arranged opposite to the first side wall, and the fourth side wall is arranged opposite to the second side wall.

[0057] Exemplarily, when the ice-making container 400 is in the initial position, the container body 410 is arranged horizontally, and the container body 410 can contain liquid to make ice. When the liquid in the container body 410 is frozen into ice cubes, the output shaft 210 of the ice-making motor 200 drives the connecting sleeve 420 to rotate, and the third side wall of the limiting groove 421 moves relative to the first side wall of the limiting protrusion 310, and the third side wall applies a force toward the fixing member 320 to the limiting protrusion 310, and the limiting protrusion 310 and the sliding rod 331 slide away from the connecting sleeve 420 along the sliding groove, so that the limiting protrusion 310 is separated from the limiting groove 421, and the connecting sleeve 420 can rotate, driving the container body 410 to flip and remove ice.

[0058] After the limiting protrusion 310 is separated from the limiting groove 421 , the connection between the first side wall and the second side wall is connected to the circumferential side wall of the connecting sleeve 420 , and the circumferential side wall of the connecting sleeve 420 can rotate relative to the limiting protrusion 310 .

[0059] After the container body 410 is turned over to remove ice, the output shaft 210 of the ice-making motor 200 drives the connecting sleeve 420 to rotate in the opposite direction, that is, to rotate along the second rotation direction. When the third side wall rotates to the connection between the first side wall and the second side wall, the third side wall is connected to the first side wall. If the ice-making motor 200 loses steps, the output shaft 210 of the ice-making motor 200 cannot continue to drive the connecting sleeve 420 to rotate. At this time, due to the elastic force of the elastic member 332, along the direction of the connecting sleeve 420 toward the limit seat, the elastic member 332 can provide an elastic force to the limit protrusion 310 to move toward the connecting sleeve 420. The first side wall is inclined, and the first side wall can decompose the elastic force into a force tangential to the second rotation direction at the connection with the third side wall, thereby continuing to drive the third side wall, that is, the connecting sleeve 420 and the container body 410 to move in the second rotation direction, so that the ice-making container 400 rotates to the initial position and remains horizontal, so that the next water addition and ice making can be carried out, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the ice-making machine and improving the user experience.

[0060] When the limiting protrusion 310 is located in the limiting groove 421 and the ice-making container 400 is in the initial position, the second side wall is arranged opposite to the fourth side wall. If the ice-making motor 200 has multiple steps, at this time, the second side wall acts as a limit to the fourth side wall, and the rotational force of the ice-making motor 200 cannot drive the connecting sleeve 420 to rotate by overcoming the elastic force of the elastic member 332. Therefore, the situation where the limiting protrusion 310 is separated from the limiting groove 421 is reduced, so that the ice-making container 400 can remain horizontal in the initial position, so that water can be added for the next ice-making, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the ice-making machine and improving the user experience.

[0061] Alternatively, the ice-making motor 200 may also be configured such that when rotating in the second rotation direction, the ice-making motor 200 will not rotate after encountering resistance. In this way, when the second side wall acts as a limit to the fourth side wall, the ice-making motor 200 will not rotate in the second rotation direction after encountering resistance, so that the ice-making container 400 can remain horizontal at the initial position, so that water can be added for the next ice-making, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the ice-making machine and the user experience.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ice-making rack 100 includes a first frame 110 and a second frame 120 connected to each other, wherein the first frame 110 is used to connect to a refrigeration device. The ice-making motor 200 is disposed on the first frame 110 .

[0063] The second frame 120 is provided with a communicating accommodation space 123 and an avoidance groove 124 . The container body 410 is disposed in the accommodation space 123 and can rotate in the accommodation space 123 . The connecting sleeve 420 passes through the avoidance groove 124 and is connected to the output shaft 210 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the container body 410 is arranged in the accommodating space 123, and the container body 410 can rotate in the accommodating space 123, so that the container body 410 can be turned over to remove ice. The second frame 120 is provided with an avoidance groove 124, and the connecting sleeve 420 can pass through the avoidance groove 124 to connect with the output shaft 210, that is, the output shaft 210 is arranged on the side of the second frame 120 away from the accommodating space 123, so that the liquid flowing into the output shaft 210 of the ice-making motor 200 can be reduced, and the ice-making motor 200 can be reduced. The damage caused by contact with the liquid reduces the service life of the ice-making motor 200 and the working stability of the ice-making motor 200.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the second frame 120 includes a first side plate 121 and a second side plate 122, the first side plate 121 is provided with an avoidance groove 124, the second side plate 121 is arranged on the side of the first side plate 121 facing or away from the accommodating space 123, a placement space 125 is provided between the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122, the placement space 125 is connected to the avoidance groove 124, and the limiting device 300 is arranged in the placement space 125.
