[0017] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the ice maker provided by the present application includes a water adding box 1, an ice box 2 and a rotatable ice scraping rod, wherein the ice scraping rod includes a rotating shaft 3 and an ice scraping blade arranged outside the rotating shaft 3. During operation, water enters the ice box 2 from the water adding box 1 and condenses into ice in the ice box 2. The ice scraping rod rotates around the rotating shaft 3, and the ice scraping blade scrapes ice cubes out of the ice box 2.

[0019] The water adding box 1 is provided with a first connecting portion 12 and a second connecting portion 13, and the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft 3 of the ice scraper rod. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the first connection part 12 is located on the left side of the rotating shaft 3, and the second connection part 13 is located on the right side of the rotating shaft 3. The first connection part 12 and the second connection part 13 are fixedly connected or position-limitedly connected to the ice box 2.

[0020] The ice maker provided in the present application has a water adding box 1 provided with a first connecting portion 12 and a second connecting portion 13, the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft 3 of the ice scraper rod, and the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 are fixedly connected or limit-connected to the ice box 2, so that both sides of the water adding box 1 are constrained by the ice box 2 and are not easy to shake.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the ice box 2 is provided with a first limiting portion 21. The first connecting portion 12 includes a first clamping portion 121, which is located below the first limiting portion 21 and abuts against the lower end surface of the first limiting portion 21, so that the first connecting portion 12 and the ice box 2 are connected in a limited manner. Figure 3 As shown, the ice box 2 is provided with a second limiting portion 22. The second connecting portion 13 includes a second clamping portion 131, which is located below the second limiting portion 22 and abuts against the lower end surface of the second limiting portion 22, so that the second connecting portion 13 and the ice box 2 are connected in a limiting manner.

[0022] More specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the first limiting portion 21 and the side wall of the ice box 2 (the first side wall 23 in the figure) are enclosed to form a first slot 27, and the upper and lower ends of the first slot 27 are both open. The first connecting portion 12 also includes a first insertion portion 122, and the first locking portion 121 is protrudingly arranged on one side of the first insertion portion 122. The first insertion portion 122 can be inserted into the first slot 27 from top to bottom. Figure 3 As shown, the second limiting portion 22 and the side wall of the ice box 2 (the second side wall 24 in the figure) are combined to form a second slot 28, and the upper and lower ends of the second slot 28 are both open. The second connecting portion 13 also includes a second insertion portion 132, and the second locking portion 131 is protrudingly arranged on one side of the second insertion portion 132. The second insertion portion 132 can be inserted into the second slot 28 from top to bottom. In this arrangement, when assembling the water adding box 1 and the ice box 2, align the first insertion portion 122 with the upper opening of the first slot 27, align the second insertion portion 132 with the lower opening of the second slot 28, and then insert it downward into place, which is convenient for assembly. More specifically, as Figure 3 As shown, the water adding box 1 is further provided with an abutment plate 19, which is located at the upper end of the second insertion portion 132. When the water adding box 1 is inserted downward into position, the abutment plate 19 abuts against the upper end surface of the second limiting portion 22. The water adding box 1 is further provided with a second extension plate 17, which extends outward from the water adding box body 11, and the abutment plate 19 is protrudingly arranged on one side of the second extension plate 17. Ribs 18 are provided between the second extension plate 17 and the abutment plate 19 and between the second extension plate 17 and the side wall of the water adding box body 11.

[0023] More specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the first insertion portion 122 is provided with a step portion 14, and the upper end of the first insertion portion 122 is connected to the water adding box body 11 through the step portion 14. The ice maker also includes a baffle 4, which is fixedly connected or limitedly connected to the ice box 2, and the baffle 4 (more specifically, the second plate portion 42 of the baffle 4) is against the upper surface of the step portion 14. In this way, the baffle 4 can limit the upward movement of the water adding box 1. If the water adding box 1 moves upward in a transitional manner, it will cause the first clamping portion 121 to press against the first limiting portion 21 in a transitional manner, and the second clamping portion 131 to press against the second limiting portion 22 in a transitional manner, resulting in a high risk of breaking of the first clamping portion 121 and the second clamping portion 131. The baffle 4 and the upper surface of the step portion 14 can reduce this risk and can further alleviate the shaking problem of the water adding box 1.

[0024] More specifically, Figure 1As shown, the baffle 4 includes a first plate portion 41 and a second plate portion 42. The first plate portion 41 is arranged substantially parallel to the side wall of the ice box 2, and the second plate portion 42 is located above the ice box 2 and abuts against the upper surface of the step portion 14. The second plate portion 42 is arranged obliquely, and the second plate portion 42 is provided with an ice guide channel A. The ice scraping rod scrapes the ice cubes into the ice guide channel A, and the ice cubes slide down along the inclined ice guide channel A and fall into the ice cube carrier below.

[0025] More specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the ice maker also includes an ice-detecting rod 5 and a driving component mounting seat 6, and the ice box 2 is fixedly connected or limitedly connected to the driving component mounting seat 6. One end of the ice-detecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the driving component mounting seat 6, and the other end of the ice-detecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the water adding box 1. In the figure, the water adding box 1 is provided with a first extension plate 16, and the first extension plate 16 extends outward from the water adding box body 11, and the other end of the ice-detecting rod 5 is connected to the first extension plate 16. The driving component (such as a motor) that drives the ice scraping rod to rotate is fixedly mounted on the driving component mounting seat 6. The driving component mounting seat 6 is integrated with a control component. When the ice cubes in the ice cube carrier reach a certain amount, it will resist the ice-detecting rod 5 to rotate upward. When the control component determines that the ice cubes have reached a certain amount according to the rotation of the ice-detecting rod 5, it will control the ice maker to stop making ice.

[0026] More specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the connection position between the ice-detecting rod 5 and the water-adding box 1 is located on the same side of the rotating shaft 3 as the first connecting portion 12 (the left side in the figure). Taking the figure as an example, when the ice-detecting rod 5 rotates upward, the left side of the water-adding box 1 moves upward more obviously driven by the ice-detecting rod 5, and the step portion 14 at the upper end of the first connecting portion 12 on the left side is pressed against by the baffle 4, so the upward movement of the water-adding box 1 can be better restricted.

[0027] More specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the water adding box 1 is provided with an axial hole portion 15. One end of the rotating shaft 3 is passed through the axial hole portion 15. Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the ice box 2 is provided with a stopper 25. The stopper 25 abuts against one end surface of the shaft hole 15 (the end surface of the shaft hole 15 away from the brake component mounting seat in the figure) to limit the axial movement of the water box 1. Figure 4 As shown, the front and rear sides of the ice box 2 are further provided with slots 29 for clamping the baffle 4 .

[0028] More specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the ice box 2 is provided with an annular groove 26. The outer circumference of the shaft hole portion 15 is adapted to the inner circumference of the annular groove 26. The stopper portion 25 is located in the annular groove 26 and extends from the inner circumference of the annular groove 26 to the inside of the annular groove 26. To facilitate the installation of the shaft hole portion 15, a notch B can be provided on the upper side of the annular groove 26, and the shaft hole portion 15 can be installed into the annular groove 26 through the notch B.

[0029] More specifically, a stop step may be provided on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 3. The stop step abuts against the other end face of the shaft hole 15 (the end face of the shaft hole 15 close to the drive component mounting seat 6 in the figure) to limit the axial movement of the water adding box 1 toward the brake component mounting seat.

[0030] The above specific examples are used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
