DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] The utility model provides Figure 1-3A water dispenser with an ice-making function is shown, comprising an ice-making water dispenser 1, an ice-making cavity 2 is provided in the middle of the ice-making water dispenser 1, a door 3 for opening and closing the ice-making cavity 2 is provided on the front of the ice-making water dispenser 1, a buffer assembly is provided inside the ice-making water dispenser 1, the buffer assembly comprises a support block 4 symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the ice-making cavity 2, a rubber block 5 is provided on the top of the support block 4, a storage box 6 for storing ice cubes is provided inside the ice-making cavity 2, and positioning blocks 7 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the storage box 6.

[0021] It should be noted that the ice-making water dispenser 1 is a water dispenser with an ice maker of model ps-ice-218. The interior of the ice-making chamber 2 is provided with an ice-making assembly, and ice is made by the ice-making assembly. The provided box door 3 is used to open the ice-making chamber 2 to take out the ice cubes located inside the ice-making chamber 2. The provided support block 4 is provided with two, which are fixedly connected to the two sides of the bottom end of the ice-making chamber 2 in a centrally symmetrical manner. The distance between the two support blocks 4 is adapted to the width of the storage box 6. When in use, the storage box 6 is placed between the two support blocks 4, so that the positioning blocks 7 on both sides of the storage box 6 are located on the top of the rubber block 5 at the top of the support block 4, and the storage box 6 is supported by the positioning blocks 7. When the storage box 6 moves downward, the positioning blocks 7 are driven by the storage box 6 to move toward the rubber block 5.

[0022] Furthermore, when ice making is completed, the ice cubes fall directly into the storage box 6. When the storage box 6 is hit by the ice cubes, the positioning blocks 7 on both sides thereof are driven to move downward. When the positioning blocks 7 move downward, they are squeezed toward the rubber blocks 5, and the rubber blocks 5 are deformed after being squeezed to absorb the driving force and reduce the impact force of the ice cubes on the ice making chamber 2.

[0023] Specifically, the positioning block 7 is arranged on the top of the rubber block 5 , and a limiting member for limiting the movement of the storage box 6 is arranged at the connection between the storage box 6 and the support block 4 .

[0024] Specifically, a material guide frame 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage box 6 , and the material guide frame 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning block 7 .

[0025] It should be noted that the cross-section of the material guide frame 8 is set to be a right triangle. When the ice cubes fall downward and come into contact with the material guide frame 8, the ice cubes are guided into the storage box 6 by the hypotenuse of the material guide frame 8 to prevent the ice cubes from falling out of the storage box 6.

[0026] Specifically, the inner wall at the bottom end of the storage box 6 is provided with a drainage hole 9 for drainage.

[0027] It should be noted that the drain hole 9 opened at the bottom of the storage box 6 is used to prevent water from accumulating inside the storage box 6. When water appears in the storage box 6, the water is discharged from the storage box 6 through the drain hole 9. The diameter of the drain hole 9 is 1 to 1.5 centimeters.

[0028] Specifically, the limiting member includes a card slot 10 symmetrically opened on both sides of the storage box 6 , a card block 11 is carded inside the card slot 10 , and a moving member for moving the position of the card block 11 is provided on one side of the card block 11 .

[0029] Specifically, the cross section of the block 11 is set to be a right-angled trapezoid.

[0030] It should be noted that the cross section of the card block 11 is a right-angled trapezoid. When the position of the card block 11 needs to be moved, the card block 11 is driven to move by pushing the hypotenuse of the card block 11.

[0031] Furthermore, when the position of the storage box 6 needs to be fixed, the storage box 6 is first moved to the inside of the ice-making chamber 2, and then the storage box 6 is moved to the top of the two support blocks 4, and then the storage box 6 is moved between the two support blocks 4. When the bottom end of the storage box 6 moves to fit the right-angled side of the card block 11, the storage box 6 is continued to be moved, and the card block 11 is squeezed toward the side away from the storage box 6 through the storage box 6. When the storage box 6 moves to the point where the card slots 10 opened on both sides of the storage box 6 are aligned with the card block 11, the card block 11 is driven by the moving part to move into the inside of the card slot 10.

[0032] Specifically, the moving member includes a sliding block 13 fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block 11 , and an elastic block 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 13 away from the clamping block 11 .

[0033] It should be noted that the elastic block 14 is made of rubber. When in use, the elastic block 14 will be deformed after being squeezed by the sliding block 13. When the elastic block 14 loses the squeezing of the sliding block 13, the elastic block 14 recovers the deformation and pushes the sliding block 13 back to its original position.

[0034] Specifically, a cavity 12 is opened on the top of the support block 4, the elastic block 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall on one side of the cavity 12, the sliding block 13 is inserted and connected inside the cavity 12, and a through hole 15 is opened on the inner wall on the other side of the cavity 12, and the clamping block 11 is inserted and connected inside the through hole 15.

[0035] It should be noted that the sliding block 13 is adapted to the opened cavity 12, thereby preventing the sliding block 13 from shaking inside the cavity 12; the cross-sectional area of ​​the opened through hole 15 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the sliding block 13, thereby preventing the sliding block 13 from passing through the through hole 15 and moving out of the cavity 12.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
