[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations 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 orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0039] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified and limited, it should be noted that the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be the internal connection of two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the ice maker provided by the utility model includes a hanger 100, an ice maker support 200, an ice mold 300 and a motor 400. The hanger 100 can be fixed in advance in the refrigerator inner tank to install the entire ice maker in the refrigerator inner tank. The ice maker support 200 is used to install the ice mold 300, the motor 400 and other components. The ice maker support 200 is detachably connected to the hanger 100, so that the main part of the ice maker can be disassembled. The ice mold 300 is detachably installed in the ice maker support 200, so that the ice mold can be disassembled, replaced or cleaned. For the convenience of description, the utility model is shown in FIG. Figure 1 The first direction and the second direction are defined as shown.

[0041] The bracket 100 is used to install the main part of the ice maker, the bracket 100 is pre-installed in the refrigerator inner tank, and the ice maker bracket 200 is detachably installed at the bottom of the bracket 100. In this embodiment, a slide 101 is provided on the bracket 100, and the ice maker bracket 200 is slidably installed in the slide 101.

[0042] Specifically, the rack 100 includes a base plate 102 , a slide plate 103 located below the base plate 102 , and a connecting plate 104 connecting the base plate 102 and the slide plate 103 , and the slide 101 is formed between the base plate 102 and the slide plate 103 .

[0043] The slide plates 103 are located on both sides of the base plate 102 along the first direction, and two groups of the slide plates 103 are arranged at intervals on the same side of the base plate 102 to form a double slide 101, so as to increase the stability and firmness of the connection of the ice maker bracket 200, and the connecting plate 104 is perpendicular to the base plate 102. When installing the ice maker bracket 200, the ice maker bracket 200 is moved so that the ice maker bracket 200 enters the slide 101; when the ice maker bracket 200 needs to be disassembled, the ice maker bracket 200 is moved in the opposite direction so that the ice maker bracket 200 is separated from the slide 101, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, efficient and practical.

[0044] Furthermore, along the direction in which the ice maker support 200 enters the slide 101, the slide plate 103 includes an inclined section extending obliquely toward the base plate 102 and a parallel section parallel to the base plate 102, that is, the distance between the slide plate 103 and the base plate 102 first gradually decreases and then remains unchanged. In this way, when the ice maker support 200 is moved into the slide 101, the ice maker support 200 first reaches the inclined section of the slide plate 103, and the ice maker support 200 moves toward the base plate 102 while moving along the inclined section toward the parallel section, and moves horizontally along the parallel section after reaching the parallel section; when the ice maker support 200 is moved away from the slide 101, the ice maker support 200 first moves horizontally toward the inclined section along the parallel section, and moves away from the base plate 102 while moving along the inclined section toward the parallel section when reaching the inclined section.

[0045] By providing the inclined section, when disassembling the ice maker bracket 200, the ice maker bracket 200 is first pulled out along the slide 101 for a distance to the inclined section, and then moved obliquely downward along the inclined section, so that the ice maker can be mounted on a built-in refrigerator with a large bulge on the top of the inner tank. Due to hinges, volume and other reasons, the top of the inner tank of the built-in refrigerator usually protrudes upward by more than 50 mm. When the ice maker bracket 200 is pulled out of the slide 101 of the hanger 100, due to the large horizontal pulling stroke, when the distance between the front end of the ice maker bracket 200 and the front edge of the inner tank protrusion is not enough to meet the pulling stroke, the ice maker bracket 200 cannot be normally disassembled. By adding the inclined section, the ice maker bracket 200 can move downward, thereby eliminating the obstruction of the front edge of the protrusion to the movement of the ice maker bracket 200, and the ice maker bracket 200 can be normally disassembled, thereby increasing the versatility of the ice maker.

[0046] Furthermore, by forming the slide 101 with the ear-hanging slide plate 103 and matching the design of the inclined section, the height of the bracket 100 can be effectively reduced. The bracket 100 can be set to be flat and as close to the protrusion as possible, and there is no need to worry about the ice maker bracket 200 not being able to be disassembled due to insufficient pulling stroke, thereby increasing the volume of the ice mold 300 and effectively increasing the ice storage capacity.

[0047] It should be particularly noted that the slide 101 includes an open side and a closed side opposite to the open side, the open side is located on the side where the inclined section is located, and the closed side is located on the side where the horizontal section is located, the ice maker bracket 200 enters the slide 101 from the open side, and the closed side is used to limit the ice maker bracket 200 from leaving the slide 101.

[0048] The ice maker bracket 200 is used to install the ice mold 300 and the motor 400 and other components. The ice maker bracket 200 is slidably installed in the slideway 101 in the hanging bracket 100.

[0049] Specifically, the ice maker support 200 includes a top plate 202, side plates 203 connected to both sides of the top plate 202 along the first direction, and guide blocks 201 connected to the side plates 203, and the ice maker support 200 is slidably installed in the slideway 101 through the guide blocks 201. The top plate 202 and the two sets of side plates 203 enclose a containing space, and the ice mold 300 and the motor 400 are located in the containing space.

[0050] The guide block 201 extends from the outer surface of the side plate 203 in a direction away from the top plate 202, that is, the guide block 201 is perpendicular to the side plate 203. Corresponding to the slide plate 103, the two groups of the side plates 203 are each provided with the guide block 201, and one group of the side plates 203 is provided with two groups of the guide blocks 201 at intervals. In order to match the inclined section of the slide plate 103, the guide block 201 is provided with an inclined surface parallel to the inclined section.

[0051] The ice maker bracket 200 is pushed so that the guide block 201 is pushed into the slide 101 from the open side of the slide 101, and the inclined surface of the guide block 201 contacts the inclined section of the slide plate 103. Under the action of the guide block 201, the ice maker bracket 200 moves along the inclined section toward the parallel section while moving toward the base plate 102. When the guide block 201 reaches the parallel section, it moves horizontally along the parallel section until the guide block 201 reaches the closed side of the slide 101, completing the installation of the ice maker bracket 200 and the rack 100; the ice maker bracket 200 is moved in the opposite direction so that the guide block 201 withdraws from the slide 101, and the ice maker bracket 200 first moves along the horizontal section for a distance, and then moves along the inclined section toward the open side until the guide block 201 and the slide 101 are separated, completing the disassembly of the ice maker bracket 200 and the rack 100.

[0052] The top plate 202 is also provided with a connection groove 202a at the bottom thereof, and the connection groove 202a is used to install the motor 400. The connection groove 202a is formed by a U-shaped block connected to the bottom of the top plate 202, and the connection groove 202a also has an open side and a closed side, that is, a closed plate is also connected to one side of the U-shaped block, and the motor 400 enters the connection groove 202a from the open side of the connection groove 202a. In this embodiment, two groups of the connection grooves 202a are provided, and the orientation of the open side of the connection grooves 202a is the same as the orientation of the open side of the slideway 101.

[0053] The side plate 203 is provided with a ventilation grille 203a, and the ventilation grille 203a is used to guide cold air into the ice maker bracket 200 to reduce wind resistance, and can effectively cool the water in the ice mold 300 to increase the ice making rate.

[0054] Furthermore, the ice maker support 200 further includes an end plate 204 connected between the top plate 202 and the two sets of side plates 203, and the end plate 204 is located on a side of the top plate 202 away from the motor 400. The end plate 204 and the motor 400 are disposed on both sides of the top plate 202 along the second direction, and the ice mold 300 is connected between the end plate 204 and the motor 400.

[0055] The end plate 204 is provided with a long groove 204a and a support block 204b plugged into the lower half of the long groove 204a, and the bottom of the long groove 204a is open. A protrusion extending from the plane where the end plate 204 is located to the side where the motor 400 is located is provided in the middle of the end plate 204, and the long groove 204a is provided on the protrusion, and the long groove 204a extends along the height direction of the protrusion and extends to the bottom of the protrusion, that is, the bottom of the long groove 204a has a gap, and the support block 204b is plugged into the lower half of the long groove 204a, thereby closing the gap at the bottom of the long groove 204a, and forming a closed space in the upper half of the long groove 204a, and one end of the ice mold 300 is located in the closed space.

[0056] The top of the long groove 204a is semicircular, and the support block 204b is inserted into the lower half of the long groove 204a from the side of the end plate 204 away from the motor 400. The top of the support block 204b is provided with an arc-shaped support surface to support the ice mold 300 to be inserted into the end of the long groove 204a. The lower half of the long groove 204a is provided with a slide groove, and the support block 204b is provided with a slider adapted to the slide groove, and the support block 204b is inserted into the lower half of the long groove 204a through the combination of the slider and the slide groove.

[0057] The ice mold 300 is provided with a plurality of forming chambers for forming ice cubes. The ice mold 300 includes a first connecting end 301 and a second connecting end 302 arranged opposite to the first connecting end 301 . The first connecting end 301 is used to connect to the end plate 204 , and the second connecting end 302 is used to connect to the output end of the motor 400 .

[0058] The first connection end 301 is a cylinder and is inserted into the upper half of the long slot 204a. The support block 204b abuts against the first connection end 301 to support the first connection end 301. The first connection end 301 is configured as a cylinder with an arc-shaped support surface at the top of the support block 204b, so that the motor 400 can drive the ice mold 300 to rotate; the second connection end 302 is a non-circular hole, and the output end of the motor 400 is inserted into the non-circular hole, so that the ice mold 300 can be driven to rotate by the motor 400.

[0059] When the ice mold 300 needs to be replaced, the support block 204b located at the lower half of the long groove 204a is first removed, and the support block 204b is pulled out from the side of the end plate 204 away from the ice mold 300, so that the bottom of the long groove 204a is reopened, and then the ice mold 300 is moved toward the end plate 204, so that the second connecting end 302 is separated from the output end of the motor 400, and finally the ice mold 300 is moved downward along the long groove 204a, and the first connecting end 301 of the ice mold 300 is separated from the end plate 204 from the notch at the bottom of the long groove 204a, thereby realizing the disassembly of the ice mold 300;

[0060] To replace the new ice mold 300, the first connection end 301 of the ice mold 300 enters the long groove 204a from the bottom of the long groove 204a, moves the ice mold 300 upward along the long groove 204a, and then moves the ice mold 300 toward the motor 400, so that the output shaft of the motor 400 is inserted into the second connection end 302, and finally the support block 204b is inserted into the lower half of the long groove 204a, closing the gap at the bottom of the long groove 204a and supporting the first connection end 301, thereby completing the replacement of the ice mold 300. It should be particularly noted that the support block 204b can also limit the movement of the ice mold 300 toward the end plate 204, thereby preventing the second connection end 302 of the ice mold 300 from being separated from the output shaft of the motor 400.

[0061] The motor 400 includes an output shaft connected to the second connecting end 302 and a connecting block 401 located on the top thereof. The output shaft is inserted into the non-circular hole to drive the ice mold 300 to rotate. The connecting block 401 is inserted into the connecting groove 202a to fix the motor 400 to the bottom of the top plate 202.

[0062] Furthermore, the ice maker also includes a cover plate 500, which is connected to a side of the ice maker bracket 200 away from the end plate 204, and the motor 400 is located on the inner side of the cover plate 500, that is, the ice maker bracket 200 is closed by the end plate 204 and the cover plate 500 on both sides along the second direction.

[0063] The cover plate 500 includes an L-shaped main board 501 connected to the ice maker bracket 200, a stopper 502 movably connected to the L-shaped main board 501, and a protective plate 503 for protecting the stopper 502. A stopper hole 105 is provided at the bottom of the hanger 100, and the stopper 502 has a first state of being inserted into the stopper hole 105 and a second state of being separated from the stopper hole 105.

[0064] The L-shaped main board 501 includes a first board perpendicular to the top board 202, a second board connected to the bottom of the first board 202 and perpendicular to the first board, the L-shaped main board 501 covers the motor 400, and the L-shaped main board 501 also includes a triangular plate connected between the first board and the second board, and the triangular plate is used to strengthen the structural strength of the L-shaped main board 501.

[0065] The stopper 502 is movably connected to the first plate and can move up and down in the height direction. The stopper 502 is located between the first plate and the protective plate 503. The protective plate 503 is U-shaped. An accommodating space is formed between the first plate and the protective plate 503 to ensure that the stopper 502 can move up and down normally. When the stopper 502 moves upward along the first plate and enters the stopper hole 105, the position of the cover plate 500 is fixed, so that the entire ice-making machine body is fixed at a specific position of the bracket 100 and cannot be moved. When the stopper 502 moves downward along the first plate and exits the stopper hole 105, the limit of the cover plate 500 is cancelled, and the ice-making machine body can be moved along the bracket 100 for disassembly.

[0066] Furthermore, the L-shaped main board 501 includes a sliding groove 501a, a sliding window 501b connected to the sliding groove 501a, and a limit block 501c located in the sliding groove 501a; the stopper 502 is movably installed in the sliding groove 501a, and the stopper 502 includes an operating block 502a located in the sliding window 501b, a makeshift groove 502b located in the middle of the stopper 502, a positioning column 502c located in the makeshift groove 502b, an elastic member 502d connected to the periphery of the positioning column 502c, and a slope 502e located at the top of the stopper 502, and the bottom end of the elastic member 502d is abutted against the limit block 501c.

[0067] In a normal state, the top of the elastic member 502d abuts against the top of the give way groove 502b, and the bottom abuts against the limit block 501. Under the action of the elastic member 502d, the top of the stop member 502 is higher than the top of the L-shaped main board 501 so that it can be inserted into the stop hole 105. The operating block 502a is located at the top of the sliding window 501b. When the operating block 502a is pressed downward, the operating block 502a moves along the sliding window 501b. 1b moves downward, the stopper 502 moves downward along the sliding groove 501a as a whole, the elastic member 502d is compressed, and the top of the stopper 502 moves downward to be flush with or lower than the top of the L-shaped main board 501, thereby separating from the stopper hole 105; when the downward pressure on the operating block 502a is cancelled, the stopper 502 moves upward along the sliding groove 501a as a whole under the action of the elastic member 502d to restore. In this embodiment, the elastic member 502d is a spring.

[0068] The following is an overall description of the installation and removal steps of the ice maker:

[0069] First, the motor 400 is installed in the ice maker bracket 200, that is, the connecting block 401 is inserted into the connecting groove 202a; then the ice mold 300 is installed, the first connecting end 301 of the ice mold 300 is placed in the long groove 204a, and the second connecting end 302 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 400 and inserted into the supporting block 204b; finally, the cover plate 500 is fixed on the ice maker bracket 200 to complete the assembly of the main part of the ice maker;

[0070] The assembled ice-making machine main body is connected to the bracket 100, and the guide block 201 is inserted into the slide 101. The ice-making machine main body moves along the slide 101. At this time, the top inclined surface 502e of the stopper 502 is squeezed by the bracket 100, and the elastic member 502d is compressed. The stopper 502 moves down along the sliding groove 501a. When the guide block 201 moves to the closed side of the slide 101, the stopper 502 moves to the position of the stopper hole 105. At this time, the pressure on the stopper 502 disappears. Under the action of the elastic member 502d, the stopper 502 moves up along the sliding groove 501a, and the top of the stopper 502 is inserted into the stopper hole 105, completing the limit locking of the ice-making machine main body, effectively improving the assembly efficiency;

[0071] When the ice maker body needs to be disassembled, the operating block 502a is pressed downward so that the stopper 502 moves downward as a whole along the sliding groove 501a, and the stopper 502 is separated from the stopper hole 105.
