[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", "front", "back", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0031] An ice cube bucket, such as Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, it includes a bucket cover 1, a bucket body 2, a box body 3 and an ice cube tray 4. The bucket cover 1 can be buckled on the bucket body 2. The box body 3 is arranged at the bottom of the inner side of the bucket body 2 and has an upper end opening for holding ice cubes. Preferably, as Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, an opening 23 is provided on the front side of the barrel body 2, and the opening 23 can accommodate the front and rear entry and exit of the box body 3, so that the drawer-style entry and exit is convenient for taking out the ice cubes in the box body 3. In order to facilitate the pulling and pulling of the box body 3, a gripping groove 32 can be provided at the lower front side of the box body 3, and the gripping groove 32 can be used for holding by hand for pulling. The ice grid plate 4 is placed in the barrel body 2. The ice grid plate 4 is provided with a plurality of ice grid grooves 41. The ice grid grooves 41 are used to hold liquids such as water and freeze them into ice cubes. The ice grid plate 4 is made of a deformable plastic material. The plastic material can deform the ice grid plate 4 when subjected to force, thereby deforming the contours of the ice grid grooves 41, so that the ice cubes inside can easily escape. A flat supporting surface 43 is provided at the edge of the ice grid plate 4. The outer edge of the supporting surface 43 extends downward to form an edge plate 42. Supporting columns 21 are longitudinally provided on both sides of the barrel body 2 relative to the inner wall. The connection between the supporting columns 21 and the inner wall of the barrel body 2 is concave to form a placement groove 211. The supporting surface 43 is also provided with a positioning hole 431 corresponding to the supporting column 21. A through hole 11 is provided in the middle of the bucket cover 1. In order to improve the aesthetics, the middle of the bucket cover 1 can be recessed downward to form a groove 12, and the through hole 11 is set in the center of the groove 12. Preferably, the depth of the groove 12 is equal to the thickness from the pressing surface 51 to the pressing column 52, so that the pressing surface 51 and the upper surface of the bucket cover 1 can form a plane. Preferably, the groove 12 and the pressing surface 51 are both square and can fit each other. The pressing member 5 is provided with a transverse pressing surface 51 and a longitudinal pressing column 52. The pressing column 52 can pass through the through hole 11, and the pressing surface 51 cannot pass through the through hole 11. The pressing column 52 is hollow inside and has an opening at the bottom to fix a stopper 522. The stopper 522 is laterally provided with a contact surface 5221, and the contact surface 5221 cannot pass through the through hole 11. A storage groove 44 is also provided in the middle of the ice cube tray 4, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the pressing member 5 is shorter, it will not contact the ice grid plate 4. However, when the pressing member 5 is longer, in order to prevent the ice grid plate 4 from interfering with the pressing member 5, the storage groove 44 can accommodate the pressing member 5, so that the ice grid plate 4 will not interfere with the normal operation of the pressing member 5. The bottom wall of the storage groove 44 is provided with a drainage hole 441 to prevent water accumulation. The purpose of avoiding water accumulation is to prevent the accumulated water from freezing into ice and freezing the pressing member 5. Specifically, if there is no drainage hole, the accumulated water in the storage groove 44 will freeze to form ice cubes. At this time, if the pressing member 5 is longer and extends into the accumulated water, the pressing member 5 will contact the accumulated water. The ice cubes formed by water freeze together, affecting the use. The diameter of the drainage hole 441 is smaller than the diameter of the contact surface 5221. In this way, when the pressing member 5 is subjected to force to push the ice cube plate 4 placed in the opposite direction, the contact surface 5221 will not pass through the drainage hole 441 and lose the force. Preferably, the contact surface 5221 is a circular surface and the drainage hole 441 is a square hole. Such settings of different shapes further avoid the possibility that when the drainage hole and the contact surface 5221 have the same shape, the ice cube plate 4 is deformed, resulting in the diameter of the drainage hole 441 becoming larger and the contact surface 5221 passing through.

[0032] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the ice cube plate 4 is placed forward, the pressing surface 51 is in contact with the surface of the barrel cover 1 under the action of gravity, and the edge plate 42 is placed in the placement groove 211, so that the ice cube plate 4 can be firmly placed in the barrel body 2, and the water in the ice cube groove 41 is frozen at low temperature to form ice cubes; Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, the ice cube plate 4 is placed in the reverse direction, the support column 21 passes through the positioning hole 431 to limit the ice cube plate 4 to prevent it from falling off, the support surface 43 abuts against the placement groove 211, and the contact surface 5221 abuts against the bottom surface of the storage groove 44 so that the pressing member 5 protrudes from the surface of the bucket cover 1. The pressing surface 51 is pressed, and the storage groove 44 is forced to drive the ice cube plate 4 to deform, and the ice cube groove 41 is deformed. Specifically, the center of the ice cube plate 4 receives a downward force, and the positioning holes 431 at the edge of the ice cube plate 4 The support column 21 on the inner wall of the barrel body 2 is limited, so that the ice cube plate 4 produces plastic deformation from the center to the periphery, so that the outer side surface of the ice cube in the ice cube groove 41 is separated from the inner side surface of the ice cube groove 41. Under the action of gravity, the ice cube falls from the ice cube groove 41 into the box body 3 below. In order to make it easier for the ice cube to fall off, it is preferred that the ice cube groove 41 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom when placed in the forward direction, and its longitudinal side wall is an inclined surface. In this way, when placed in the reverse direction, the ice cube groove 41 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, so that the ice cube is easier to fall off.

[0033] In order to prevent the box body 3 from shaking when moving forward and backward in the barrel body 2, and to facilitate alignment when taking out and putting in, the structure of contact between the two can be set as follows: Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 As shown, two left-right symmetrical support plates 31 are provided on the front-to-back direction of the bottom wall of the box body 3. The support plates 31 can make the box body 3 be placed stably on a horizontal plane, that is, when the box body 3 is placed on the bottom of the barrel body 2 or pulled out and placed on the table, the box body 3 is placed horizontally, and a positioning strip 311 is provided on the bottom wall of the box body 3 in the vertical direction of the support plate 31, and two symmetrical strip plates 22 are provided on the inner bottom wall of the barrel body 2. The height of the strip plates 22 is the same as that of the support plates 31, and the positioning strips 311 on both sides have the same length. When the box body 3 is pushed or pulled, the positioning strips 311 on both sides contact the strip plates 22 at the same time, and the support plates 31 are located on the inner side of the strip plates 22.

[0034] For easy carrying, a movable handle 24 can be provided on the barrel body 2. The handle 24 can be a structure disclosed in the patent cited in the background technology, or a conventional technical means of designing common handles for kettles, buckets, etc. in daily life.

[0035] In order to mark the date of the ice cubes in the ice cube bucket, a time mark 13 can be set on the surface of the bucket cover 1. The time mark 13 includes a sliding groove 131 that runs horizontally and a sliding block 132 that can slide in the sliding groove 131. The edge of the sliding groove 131 is marked with scales and / or numbers and / or text. These marks can use 31 days as the maximum date and mark the date by the position where the sliding block 132 stops. For example, if the sliding block 132 stops at the 5th day position of the sliding groove 131, it means that the ice cubes in the bucket are stored on the 5th of the month. Of course, these marks can also be common date marking styles such as year-month-day, month-day, etc.

[0036] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiment achieves the following technical effects: the ice grid plate is placed in reverse, and the ice grid plate is deformed by pressing the pressing piece on the barrel cover, and the ice grid groove is deformed to separate the ice cubes in the groove from the groove wall. Under the action of gravity, the ice cubes fall into the box body, and the ice cube demolding process is completed in a convenient and fast manner. In this process, the support column is limited in the positioning hole so that the supporting surface of the ice grid plate always rests on the placement groove of the barrel body, thereby ensuring that the ice grid plate will not fall to the bottom of the barrel body as a whole due to deformation, and it is safe and reliable to use.

[0037] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is determined by the appended claims.
