[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The ice making device 000 may include a refrigeration assembly 100 , a first box 200 and a second box 300 .

[0030] The refrigeration assembly 100 in the ice-making device 000 may include: a refrigeration chamber 101, and a refrigeration unit 102 located in the refrigeration chamber 101. The refrigeration chamber 101 can be used to carry drinking water; the refrigeration unit 102 in the refrigeration assembly 100 can be used to refrigerate at least part of the drinking water into ice cubes, and / or, to refrigerate at least part of the drinking water into refrigerated water. Here, refrigerated water generally refers to drinking water with a relatively low temperature. For example, the refrigeration water refers to drinking water with a temperature less than or equal to 15 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 in the refrigeration assembly 100 refers to: drinking water directly poured into the refrigeration chamber 101 by a user, or drinking water automatically introduced into the refrigeration chamber 101 through a water supply source. This embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0031] The first box 200 in the ice-making device 000 can be connected to the refrigeration chamber 101 in the refrigeration assembly 100, and the first box 200 is used to carry ice cubes refrigerated by the refrigeration unit 102. For example, after the refrigeration unit 102 in the refrigeration assembly 100 refrigerates at least part of the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 into ice cubes, the refrigerated ice cubes can be introduced into the first box 200, so that the first box 200 can carry ice cubes.

[0032] The second box 300 in the ice-making device 000 can be connected to the side of the first box 200 away from the refrigeration chamber 101, and the second box 300 is used to carry the refrigerated water obtained by refrigeration of the refrigeration unit 102 in the refrigeration assembly 100. For example, after the refrigeration unit 102 in the refrigeration assembly 100 refrigerates at least part of the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 into refrigerated water, the refrigerated refrigerated water can be introduced into the second box 200, so that the second box 200 can carry the refrigerated water.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration unit 102 in the refrigeration assembly 100 can refrigerate the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 into ice cubes, or can refrigerate the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 into refrigerated water. Here, the ice-making device 000 can refrigerate the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 into ice cubes or refrigerated water by controlling the refrigeration power and / or refrigeration time of the refrigeration unit 102 in the refrigeration assembly 100. For example, when the ice-making device 000 controls the refrigeration unit 102 to work at a higher refrigeration power, and / or, to work at a longer refrigeration time, the refrigeration unit 102 can refrigerate the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 into ice cubes. For another example, when the ice-making device 000 controls the refrigeration unit 102 to work at a lower refrigeration power, and / or, to work at a shorter refrigeration time, the refrigeration unit 102 can refrigerate the drinking water carried in the refrigeration chamber 101 into refrigerated water. That is, the ice cubes and the refrigerated water prepared by the ice-making device 000 of the present application can share the same set of refrigeration components 100.

[0034] In this case, the refrigeration unit 102 of the refrigeration assembly 100 in the ice-making device 000 can be used to prepare ice cubes and also to prepare refrigerated water, which effectively enriches the functions of the ice-making device 000. Moreover, the ice-making function and the refrigeration water function in the ice-making device 000 can share the same refrigeration assembly 100, which can effectively reduce the volume of the ice-making device 000 and reduce the manufacturing cost of the ice-making device 000.

[0035] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides an ice-making device, which may include: a refrigeration assembly, a first box, and a second box. The refrigeration part of the refrigeration assembly in the ice-making device can be used to prepare ice cubes and also to prepare refrigerated water, which effectively enriches the functions of the ice-making device. Moreover, the ice-making function and the refrigerated water function in the ice-making device can share the same set of refrigeration assemblies, which can effectively reduce the volume of the ice-making device and reduce the manufacturing cost of the ice-making device.

[0036] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The refrigeration assembly 100, the first box 200 and the second box 300 in the ice making device 000 can be arranged in sequence in the gravity direction. Here, there is a passage between the first box 200 and the second box 300 in the ice making device 000 for connecting the first box 200 and the second box 300.

[0037] In this case, after the ice making device 000 finishes making ice cubes, the ice making device 000 can control the ice cubes made in the refrigerating chamber 101 and the remaining drinking water in the making process to be introduced into the first box 200 under the action of gravity, and the drinking water introduced into the first box 200 can be introduced into the second box 300 through the passage between the first box 200 and the second box 300 under the action of gravity, while the ice cubes introduced into the first box 200 cannot be introduced into the second box 300 through the passage between the first box 200 and the second box 300 due to their large size. In this way, the ice cubes and drinking water introduced into the first box 200 can be separated to ensure that the ice cubes can be stored in the first box 200, and the remaining drinking water in the ice making process can be stored in the second box 300.

[0038] For example, there is a flip assembly (not shown in the drawings) between the ice making chamber 101 and the first box 200 in the ice making assembly 100, and the refrigeration unit 102 in the ice making assembly 100 can make ice on the flip assembly. After the ice making is completed, the prepared ice cubes and the remaining drinking water in the ice making process can be obtained on the flip assembly. In this way, the ice making device 000 controls the flip assembly to flip, and the ice cubes and the remaining drinking water can be introduced into the first box 200 under the action of gravity.

[0039] Optionally, there are multiple ways to introduce the refrigerated water prepared by the refrigeration assembly 100 in the ice-making device 000 into the second box 300. The following embodiments of the present application will be schematically described in the following two optional implementations:

[0040] In a first optional implementation, after the refrigeration assembly 100 in the ice-making device 000 prepares the chilled water, the ice-making device 000 can first control the chilled water to be introduced into the first box body 200, and the chilled water introduced into the first box body 200 can be introduced into the second box body 300 through the channel between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300.

[0041] For the second optional implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 000 is a schematic diagram of another ice-making device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The ice-making device 000 may also include: a first pipe G1 for connecting the refrigeration chamber 101 in the ice-making assembly 100 and the second box 300. Here, after the refrigeration assembly 100 in the ice-making device 000 prepares refrigerated water, the ice-making device 000 may control the refrigerated water to be directly introduced into the second box 300 through the first pipe G1. In this case, the refrigerated water can be directly introduced into the second box 300 without passing through the first box 200, which can ensure that the refrigerated water will not affect the ice cubes stored in the first box 200.

[0042] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , the ice-making device 000 may further include: a first pumping assembly 400. The first end of the first pumping assembly 400 in the ice-making device 000 may be communicated with the second housing 300, and the second end of the first pumping assembly 400 may be communicated with the refrigerating chamber 101. The first pumping assembly 400 is used to introduce the drinking water in the second housing 300 into the refrigerating chamber 101. In this case, after the first pumping assembly 400 introduces the drinking water in the second housing 300 into the refrigerating chamber 101, the refrigerating unit 102 in the refrigerating chamber 101 may refrigerate the introduced drinking water into ice cubes and / or refrigerating water, so that the second housing 300 in the ice-making device 000 may not only be used as a container for carrying the refrigerating water prepared by the refrigerating assembly 100, but also as a water supply source for supplying drinking water to the refrigerating chamber 101. In this way, not only can a more sufficient water supply be ensured in the refrigerating chamber 101, but also the internal structure of the ice-making device 000 may be effectively simplified.

[0043] For examples, please refer to Figure 2 , the first pumping assembly 400 may include: a first water pump B1, a second pipeline G2 and a third pipeline G3. The two ends of the second pipeline G2 may be respectively connected to the first water pump B1 and the second box 300, and the two ends of the third pipeline G3 may be respectively connected to the first water pump B1 and the refrigeration chamber 101. Here, the ice-making device 000 may control the first water pump B1 to be in a working state or a stopped working state. When the first water pump B1 is in a working state, the first water pump B1 may extract drinking water in the second box 300 through the second pipeline G2, and guide the extracted drinking water to the refrigeration chamber 101 through the third pipeline G3.

[0044] In order to ensure the quality of drinking water used to prepare ice cubes and refrigerated water, please refer to the examples in this application. Figure 3 , Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of another ice-making device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The ice-making device 000 may further include: a water purification component 500 and a second pumping component 600. The first end of the water purification component 500 in the ice-making device 000 may be used to communicate with a water supply source 700, the second end of the water purification component 500 in the ice-making device 000 may be communicated with the first end of the second pumping component 600, and the second end of the second pumping component 600 may be communicated with the second box 300.

[0045] Among them, the water purification component 500 in the ice making device 000 can be used to process the raw water provided by the water supply source 700 into drinking water, and the second pumping component 600 in the ice making device 000 can be used to introduce the drinking water processed by the water purification component 500 into the second box 300. Here, the raw water provided by the water supply source 700 is water that has not been filtered, for example, it can be tap water. In one possible implementation, the water supply source 700 can be a tap water pipe, and the raw water provided by the water supply source is the tap water provided by the tap water pipe. In another possible implementation, the water supply source can also be a box carrying raw water. This embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0046] In this case, by arranging the water purification assembly 500 between the water supply source 700 and the second housing 200 in the ice making device 000, and introducing the drinking water processed by the water purification assembly 500 into the second housing 300 through the second pumping assembly 600, the quality of the drinking water entering the second housing 300 is improved, so as to ensure that the ice cubes and refrigerated water prepared by the refrigeration assembly 100 are of high quality. In addition, the drinking water in the second housing 300 is obtained by filtering the raw water provided by the water supply source 700. Therefore, by arranging the water supply source 700 connected to the second housing 300, it can be ensured that there is a more sufficient water supply in the second housing 300.

[0047] In the present application, the water purification component 500 may be a water purifier having a water purification function, for example, the water purification component 500 may be an ultrafiltration water purifier, a reverse osmosis water purifier, or other forms of water purifiers. The present application embodiment does not limit this.

[0048] For examples, please refer to Figure 3, the second pumping assembly 600 may include: a second water pump B2, a fourth pipeline G4 and a fifth pipeline G5. The two ends of the fourth pipeline G4 may be respectively connected to the second water pump B2 and the water purification assembly 500, and the two ends of the fifth pipeline G5 may be respectively connected to the second water pump B2 and the second box 300. Here, the ice making device 000 may control the second water pump B2 to be in a working state or a stopped working state. When the second water pump B2 is in a working state, the second water pump B2 may extract the drinking water processed by the water purification assembly 500 through the fourth pipeline G4, and guide the extracted drinking water to the second box 300 through the fifth pipeline G5.

[0049] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another ice-making device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The ice-making device 000 may further include: a third box 701. The third box 701 in the ice-making device 000 may be connected to the first end of the water purification component 500, and the third box 701 in the ice-making device 000 is used to carry raw water.

[0050] In this case, the third box 701 in the ice-making device 000 can be used as a raw water storage container for the ice-making device 000. The third box 701 in the ice-making device 000 can be connected to tap water or a water tower. Before the ice-making device 000 works, the raw water from the tap water or the water tower first enters the third box 701 and is stored in sufficient quantity. In this way, the water purification component 500 in the ice-making device 000 can have sufficient raw water supply, thereby ensuring that the ice-making device 000 can continuously and stably prepare ice cubes and / or cooling water.

[0051] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The ice-making device 000 may further include: a control component (not shown in the drawings) and a temperature sensor J1 fixed in the second box 300 of the ice-making device 000. The temperature sensor J1 in the second box 300 and the first pumping component 400 of the ice-making device 000 are both electrically connected to the control component of the ice-making device 000.

[0052] Among them, the control component in the ice-making equipment 000 can be used to: after detecting that the temperature of the refrigerated water carried in the second box body 300 of the ice-making equipment 000 is within a preset temperature range through the temperature sensor J1 in the second box body 300, control the first pumping component 400 in the ice-making equipment 000 to stop introducing the drinking water in the second box body 300 of the ice-making equipment 000 into the refrigeration chamber 101.

[0053] In this case, by providing the ice-making device 000 with a control component and providing the temperature sensor J1 in the second box 300 of the ice-making device 000, the quality of the cooling water is effectively improved, so that the temperature of the cooling water prepared by the ice-making device 000 can be within a preset temperature range. For example, the temperature range of the cooling water is preset in the control component of the ice-making device 000. After the cooling water prepared by the ice-making device 000 enters the second box 300 of the ice-making device 000, the temperature sensor J1 in the second box 300 detects the temperature information of the cooling water in real time and sends it to the control component. The control component determines whether the water temperature of the cooling water is within the preset temperature range based on the obtained cooling water temperature information. If the temperature of the cooling water is within the preset temperature range, the control component sends a stop instruction to the first water pump B1, the first water pump B1 stops working, and the cooling water in the second box 300 stops being introduced into the refrigeration chamber 101. If the temperature of the cooling water is higher than the maximum value of the preset temperature range, the command to stop working is not sent to the first water pump B1, the first water pump B1 continues to work, and the cooling water in the second box body 300 continues to be introduced into the refrigeration chamber 101 and continues to cool until the temperature of the cooling water in the second box body 300 is within the preset temperature range.

[0054] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The ice-making device 000 may further include: an ice quantity monitor J2 fixed in the first box 200 in the ice-making device 000. The ice quantity monitor J2 in the ice-making device 000 may be electrically connected to the control component.

[0055] Among them, the control component in the ice-making equipment 000 can also be used for: after the ice quantity monitor J2 detects that the ice cubes carried in the first box 200 in the ice-making equipment 000 are full of ice, controlling the first pumping component 400 in the ice-making equipment 000 to stop introducing the drinking water in the second box 300 in the ice-making equipment 000 into the refrigeration chamber 101 in the ice-making equipment 000.

[0056] In this case, by setting the ice quantity monitor J2 in the first box 200 of the ice making device 000, the automation degree of the ice making device 000 is effectively improved, so that the ice making device 000 can prepare ice cubes of a preset amount. For example, the control component in the ice making device 000 sets a full ice condition. When the ice cubes prepared by the ice making device 000 enter the first box 200 of the ice making device 000, the ice quantity monitor J2 starts to obtain the ice quantity information of the ice cubes and sends it to the control component. The control component determines whether the ice is full based on the obtained ice quantity information of the ice cubes. If the ice quantity information of the ice cubes meets the full ice condition, a stop instruction is sent to the first water pump B1, the first water pump B1 stops working, the drinking water in the second box 300 stops being introduced into the refrigeration chamber 101, and the ice making process ends. If the ice quantity information of the ice cubes does not meet the full ice condition, the command to stop working is not sent to the first water pump B1. The first water pump B1 continues to work and continues to introduce the drinking water in the second box body 300 into the refrigeration chamber 101 and prepare ice cubes until the ice quantity information of the ice cubes in the first box body 200 meets the full ice condition.

[0057] It should be noted that whether the full ice condition is met can be determined by detecting the volume of the prepared ice cubes. At this time, the ice quantity monitor J2 can be an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver arranged in pairs on the vertical side walls of the first box 200. The installation height of the infrared transmitter and the infrared receiver is the ice quantity line. When the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter are blocked by the ice cubes in the first box 200, the infrared receiver cannot receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter, indicating that the ice is full. The ice quantity monitor J2 can also be an infrared transmitter-receiver integrated tube arranged on the vertical side walls of the first box 200. The installation height of the infrared transmitter-receiver integrated tube is the ice quantity line. When the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transmitter-receiver integrated tube are blocked by the ice cubes in the first box 200, the infrared transmitter-receiver integrated tube detects that the infrared rays reflected by the ice cubes are different from the infrared rays reflected by the inner wall of the first box 200, indicating that the ice is full. Whether the full ice condition is met can also be determined by detecting the weight of the prepared ice cubes. In this case, the ice quantity monitor J2 can be a weight sensor (not shown in the figure) arranged at the bottom of the first box 200, and the weight sensor is electrically connected to the control component. When the weight information of the ice cubes obtained by the weight sensor exceeds the preset weight, it means that the ice is full. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0058] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The ice-making device 000 may further include: a water level monitor J3 fixed in the second box 300 in the ice-making device 000, and the water level monitor J3 is electrically connected to the control component in the ice-making device 000.

[0059] In this case, by setting a water level monitor J3 in the second box 300 of the ice making device 000, the automation degree of the ice making device 000 is effectively improved, so that the ice making device 000 can have sufficient drinking water when preparing ice cubes and / or preparing refrigerated water, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the ice making device 000. For example, the control component in the ice making device 000 can pre-set the water level information in the second box 300 of the ice making device 000. In the ice making working mode, the control component in the ice making device 000 can control the amount of drinking water introduced into the second box 300 by the first pumping component 400 according to the drinking water amount information set in the ice making working mode. In the refrigerated water working mode, the control component in the ice making device 000 can control the amount of drinking water introduced into the second box 300 by the first pumping component 400 according to the drinking water amount information set in the refrigerated water working mode.

[0060] It should be noted that the water level monitor J3 can be a first float type liquid level sensor J31 for controlling the highest water level and a second float type liquid level sensor J32 for controlling the lowest water level, which are arranged in the second box 300. In other embodiments, the water level monitor J3 can also be other forms of liquid level sensors, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0061] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The ice-making device 000 may further include: an ice outlet 800 communicating with the first box 200 in the ice-making device 000 , and a water outlet 900 communicating with the second box 300 in the ice-making device 000 .

[0062] In this case, by providing the ice-making device 000 with an ice outlet 800 communicating with the first box 200 in the ice-making device 000 and a water outlet 900 communicating with the second box 300 in the ice-making device 000, it is convenient for users to obtain ice cubes or chilled water.

[0063] For example, the ice-making device 000 may also include: a spiral ice-taking assembly (not shown in the drawings) arranged between the first box body 200 and the ice outlet 800, and the spiral ice-taking assembly may include a spiral conveying mechanism and a driving member. The spiral conveying mechanism is driven to rotate by the driving member, so that the ice cubes in the first box body 200 can be conveyed to the ice outlet 800.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 4, the ice-making device 000 may further include: a third pumping assembly 1000 connected to the second housing 300 and the water outlet 900, respectively. The third pumping assembly 1000 may include: a third water pump B3, a sixth pipeline G6 and a seventh pipeline G7, the two ends of the sixth pipeline G6 may be connected to the first water pump B1 and the second housing 300, respectively, and the two ends of the seventh pipeline G7 may be connected to the first water pump B1 and the water outlet 900, respectively. Here, the ice-making device 000 may control the third water pump B3 to be in a working state or a stopped working state. When the third water pump B3 is in a working state, the third water pump B3 may extract drinking water in the second housing 300 through the sixth pipeline G6, and guide the extracted drinking water to the water outlet 900 through the seventh pipeline G7.

[0065] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides an ice-making device, which may include: a refrigeration assembly, a first box, and a second box. The refrigeration part of the refrigeration assembly in the ice-making device can be used to prepare ice cubes and also to prepare refrigerated water, which effectively enriches the functions of the ice-making device. Moreover, the ice-making function and the refrigerated water function in the ice-making device can share the same set of refrigeration assemblies, which can effectively reduce the volume of the ice-making device and reduce the manufacturing cost of the ice-making device.

[0066] The present application also provides a water dispenser, which can be a tabletop water dispenser for use on a table, a bar counter water dispenser for use on the ground, or other types of water dispensers.
