[0071] In the traditional assembly process of ice-making equipment, screws usually need to be fixed at the bottom of the ice-making equipment. This process requires workers to frequently flip over the heavy ice-making equipment in order to install and tighten the screws from the bottom. This practice not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also increases the safety risks in the production process. In addition, frequent flipping may also cause damage to the internal components of the ice-making machine, affecting product quality.

[0072] In order to solve this technical problem, the utility model proposes an ice-making device 1, wherein the ice-making device 1 can be specifically configured as an ice-making machine or a device with an ice-making function.

[0073] See also Figures 1 to 16 In one embodiment of the utility model, the ice-making device 1 includes a base 100 and an ice-making assembly; the ice-making assembly is arranged above the base 100, and the ice-making assembly includes a box assembly 200, a front body 31 and a rear body 32 arranged outside the box assembly 200, the front body 31 is connected to the base 100 through the box assembly 200, and is also fixedly connected to the rear body 32; the bottom of the box assembly 200 is clamped with the base 100 through a first vertical buckle 231, and / or the box assembly 200 is connected to the base 100 through a lateral fastener; thereby improving the production efficiency of the ice-making device 1, and at the same time, improving the safety of the assembly process and the product quality.

[0074] In the technical solution of the present invention, the base 100 and the ice-making assembly are assembled by means of the first vertical buckle 231 and / or the lateral fastener, which can reduce the number of times of screwing from the bottom of the base 100 toward the ice-making assembly to a certain extent, and at the same time, reduce or eliminate the step of flipping over the ice-making device 1 when screwing at the bottom of the ice-making device 1, thereby improving production efficiency as well as the safety of the assembly process and product quality.

[0075] Specifically, the bottom of the box assembly 200 and the base 100 are connected by the first vertical buckle 231, which facilitates the box assembly 200 to approach the upper surface of the base 100. The vertical direction is specifically the up and down direction of the ice-making device 1. With this arrangement, the box assembly 200 can be fixed on the top of the base 100 by pressing, etc., and the assembly is quick and easy, which improves the production efficiency during assembly; specifically, the first vertical buckle 231 is set on either the box assembly 200 or the base 100. Of course, other connection structures that can achieve the purpose of assembly without turning over the ice-making device 1 are also applicable to the utility model.

[0076] In order to further enhance the connection strength between the box assembly 200 and the base 100, a connection position can be added between the box assembly 200 and the base 100; the box assembly 200 and the base 100 can also be connected by a lateral fastener, and because the lateral fastener is driven in from the side of the ice-making device 1, it is also unnecessary to frequently turn over the ice-making device 1, thereby improving the production efficiency and the connection stability between the box assembly 200 and the base 100. However, in other embodiments, the box assembly 200 and the base 100 are fixedly connected only by the first vertical buckle 231 or the lateral fastener.

[0077] The front body 31 and the rear body 32 are connected to form a casing of the ice-making device 1 that is arranged outside the box assembly 200, which helps to protect the internal structure of the ice-making device 1, ensure the normal operation of the ice-making device 1, and at the same time, improve the visual aesthetics of the ice-making device 1. The connection methods of the front body 31 and the rear body 32 include but are not limited to buckling and plugging.

[0078] Among them, the front body 31 is assembled to the base 100 through the box assembly 200, and the box assembly 200 and the front body 31 can be integrated by means of foaming technology, mechanical connection structure, etc., which is convenient for modular assembly. When assembling the box assembly 200, the front body 31 is fixed on the base 100 together to improve the assembly efficiency; and the connection between the rear body 32 and the base 100 can be achieved by connecting with the front body 31 to realize the assembly on the base 100.

[0079] See also Figures 4 to 5 In an embodiment of the utility model, the box assembly 200 includes a water tank and a liner 23, the water tank includes a circulating water tank 21 and an ice-making water tank 22 connected to each other, the bottom of the circulating water tank 21 and the front body 31 are connected through the liner 23, the rear body 32 is arranged on the outer periphery of the ice-making water tank 22, and is connected to the base 100, wherein the liner 23 is arranged outside the circulating water tank 21 and is fixedly connected to the circulating water tank 21, at this time, the front body 31 and the base 100 can be assembled by snapping the liner 23 with the base 100, and the overall structural strength can be enhanced by lateral fasteners.

[0080] The rear body 32 is arranged outside the ice-making water tank 22 to hide the ice-making water tank 22 and other structures. The rear body 32 is connected to the front body 31, and the connection can be strengthened by the second vertical buckle 324 and / or the lateral fastener. In addition, because the front body 31 and the base 100 are in different positions of the rear body 32, it is convenient to further improve the assembly stability of the rear body 32, and the production efficiency of the ice-making equipment 1 can also be improved.

[0081] In addition, an assembly gap may be left between the lining 23, the circulating water tank 21, and the front body 31 to form an insulating cavity, which is convenient for maintaining the temperature inside the circulating water tank 21; the insulating cavity may also be filled with foaming material, which can not only further improve the connection strength between the box assembly 200 and the front body 31, but also reliably reduce the risk of heat exchange.

[0082] It should be noted that the ice-making water tank 22 is laterally connected to the circulating water tank 21, and an ice-making cavity is formed therein, wherein the circulating water tank 21 and the ice-making water tank 22 can be integrally formed to form a water tank of the ice-making device 1, and separated from other internal structures of the ice-making device 1; the circulating water tank 21 is used to store water, and is used to provide water to the ice-making water tank 22, so as to facilitate the ice-making structure 25 located in the ice-making water tank 22 to make ice cubes, and an ice basket 26 is also provided in the circulating water tank 21 to receive ice cubes produced by the ice-making water tank 22. Other internal structures include but are not limited to the compressor 41, the condenser 51, the fan 52, and the electric control box.

[0083] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, the bottom of the lining 23 is provided with a first vertical buckle 231 extending downward, and the base 100 is provided with a first clamping hole 111 clamped with the first vertical buckle 231. In this way, during the assembly process, under the assistance of the downward pressure and the deformation of the first vertical buckle 231, the first vertical buckle 231 is clamped into the first clamping hole 111 to complete the assembly of the box assembly 200, the front body 31 and the base 100; wherein, the first vertical buckle 231 is integrated with the lining 23 to ensure the connection strength between the first vertical buckle 231 and the lining 23, thereby improving the reliability of the connection and the production efficiency of the ice-making device 1. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first vertical buckle 231 is provided on the base 100 and extends upward, and the first clamping hole 111 is formed in the lining 23.

[0084] See also Fig.11 and Fig.14 In an embodiment of the present utility model, the bottom of the liner 23 is connected to the base 100 through the lateral fasteners to improve the connection strength between the liner 23 and the base 100, and also facilitate improving production efficiency.

[0085] The base 100 is provided with a third connection seat 16, which is convexly arranged on the upper surface of the base 100. When the liner 23 is arranged above the base 100, the liner 23 is located inside the third connection seat 16. In this way, on the basis of limiting the displacement of the liner 23, it is convenient for the lateral fastener to align and drive the liner 23 and the third connection seat 16. The lateral fastener can be configured as a screw, and in this case, the third connection seat 16 is provided with a threaded hole connected with the screw.

[0086] See also Figure 5 In the embodiment of the utility model, the inner lining 23 is provided with a buckle 232 extending upward, and the front body 31 is provided with a buckle step 311 engaged with the buckle 232. In this way, the buckle 232 buckles the buckle step 311, which reduces the risk of the inner lining 23 and the front body 31 being separated, and also facilitates the subsequent injection of foaming material. However, the design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the buckle 232 is provided on the front body 31. In this case, the inner lining 23 is formed with a buckle step 311 or a buckle hole that matches the buckle 232.

[0087] See also Figures 4 to 8 In the embodiment of the utility model, at least one mounting support 212 is provided at the bottom of the circulating water tank 21, and the inner liner 23 is provided with a support seat hole 234 into which the mounting support 212 is inserted, so as to ensure the stable assembly of the circulating water tank 21 in the ice-making device 1; at the same time, it is convenient to form an assembly gap between the bottom of the circulating water tank 21 and the inner liner 23. Among them, there are two mounting supports 212, and at this time, there are two corresponding support seat holes 234 on the inner liner 23, and the support seat holes 234 are blind hole designs, which can not only increase the effective contact area between the circulating water tank 21 and the inner liner 23, improve the connection strength between the circulating water tank 21 and the inner liner 23, but also reduce the material leakage during the foaming process and improve the foaming reliability.

[0088] Further, in the embodiment of the utility model, the bottom of the circulating water tank 21 is provided with a drain pipe 211, and the inner lining 23 is provided with a mounting seat hole 233 for inserting the drain pipe 211. At this time, the mounting seat hole 233 is a through hole that penetrates the inner lining 23, and the base 100 is provided with a water hole that docks the mounting seat hole 233. In this way, the drainage demand of the circulating water tank 21 can be met, and the number of times the refrigeration equipment is turned over to empty the water in the circulating water tank 21 can be reduced, which is convenient for users to use; and the effective contact area between the circulating water tank 21 and the inner lining 23 can be further increased through the plug-in cooperation of the drain pipe 211 and the mounting seat hole 233, thereby improving the connection strength between the circulating water tank 21 and the inner lining 23. In this embodiment, the drain pipe 211 is located between the two mounting pillars 212, which helps to share the force at the mounting pillar 212. However, in other embodiments, the drain pipe 211 and the two mounting pillars 212 are arranged in a triangle.

[0089] In order to prevent water leakage during normal operation of the refrigeration equipment, in an embodiment of the utility model, the base 100 blocks the drainage hole of the drainage pipe 211 through the sealing assembly 600, so as to block the drainage hole when there is no drainage demand, thereby improving the reliability of the refrigeration equipment and saving water.

[0090] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figures 14 to 15 As shown, the sealing assembly 600 includes a positioning shaft 61 formed on the base 100, a sealing plug 62 for blocking the drainage hole, and a connecting member 63, wherein one end of the connecting member 63 is sleeved on the positioning shaft 61, and the other end is fixed to the sealing plug 62, wherein the connecting member 63 is specifically a rod-shaped structure, and one end is provided with a positioning hole for sleeved on the positioning shaft 61, and the other end is fixed to the sealing plug 62, so that the sealing assembly 600 and the base 100 can be assembled, and because the connecting member 63 has a longer length, the user can use the deformation of the connecting member 63 to make the sealing plug 62 detach from the drainage hole, thereby realizing the drainage of the circulating water tank 21.

[0091] In order to facilitate the user to apply force to the sealing assembly 600, the connector 63 is provided with a protruding structure near the sealing plug 62 to ensure reliable force application to the connector 63 and improve the removal efficiency of the sealing plug 62. If the size of the water hole allows, two protruding structures are symmetrically provided, and their size is as large as possible.

[0092] Since the ice making water tank 22 is smaller in size than the circulating water tank 21 and is suspended in the air, please refer to Figure 1 , Fig.10 and Fig.14 In an embodiment of the utility model, the ice-making water tank 22 is fixedly connected to the base 100 through a support frame 24, and its fixing method includes but is not limited to a snap connection and a screw connection; in this embodiment, the support frame 24 uses two-sided fasteners to respectively connect the ice-making water tank 22 and the base 100 to improve production efficiency. At this time, a second connecting seat 14 is provided on the base 100, and the second connecting seat 14 and the edge of the base 100 have a certain distance. The two support frames 24 are respectively arranged on the outside of the second connecting seat 14 and the ice-making water tank 22, which is convenient for fastening connection; at the same time, it is also convenient to use the support frame 24 as a support frame 24 of other structures, and make full use of the assembly space on the side of the support frame 24 away from the rear body 32, saving space, and at the same time, improving the standardized assembly and use safety of the structure in the ice-making equipment 1.

[0093] In addition, in order to ensure the assembly stability of the ice-making water tank 22, the support frame 24 is set away from the circulating water tank 21, and two support frames 24 are set. One of the support frames 24 is set on the side of the ice-making water tank 22 away from the circulating water tank 21, and the other support frame 24 is set on the side of the ice-making water tank 22. In this way, the function of the circulating water tank 21 is consistent with that of the support frame 24. At this time, the circulating water tank 21 and the two support frames 24 are set at different positions of the ice-making water tank 22, specifically in a triangular arrangement, which helps to improve the assembly stability of the ice-making water tank 22.
