Detailed implementation manners

[0036] The following further describes in detail the implementation manners of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model provides an ice maker, including a housing 100 and an ice-making portion 104; the housing 100 is provided with a stop portion 102; the ice-making portion 104 is connected to the housing 100, an ice-making cavity 106 is formed on the ice-making portion 104, the ice-making cavity 106 includes a first ice-making groove 112 and a second ice-making groove 114, at least one of the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 is adapted to switch between an ice-making position and an ice-releasing position, a mating surface is formed on the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114, in the ice-making position, the mating surfaces are mutually attached to make the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 enclose to form the ice-making cavity 106, at least one of the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 is formed with a deformation portion 108, the deformation portion 108 is formed on a side away from the mating surface, in the ice-releasing position, the deformation portion 108 is adapted to contact the stop portion 102 and the deformation portion 108 is adapted to deform to push out the ice cubes in the ice-making cavity 106.

[0038] According to the ice maker provided by the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model, by designing the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114, and arranging a deformation part 108 on at least one of the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114, when in the ice-detaching position, the deformation part 108 can contact the stop part 102 of the housing 100 and deform, thereby driving the ice-making cavity 106 to deform, so that the ice cubes in the ice-making cavity 106 can be effectively pushed out. This design avoids the complexity of ice-pushing rod ice detachment and heating ice detachment in traditional ice makers, improves the ice-detaching efficiency, reduces energy consumption and the possibility of mechanical failures. In addition, when in the ice-making position, the mating surfaces of the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 are mutually attached, ensuring the sealing performance and stability of the ice-making cavity 106, which is beneficial to forming uniform and regular ice cubes and improving the ice-making quality. Since the complex mechanical structures and electronic components are reduced, the ice maker of the present utility model is more convenient in terms of maintenance and cleaning, reducing the user's usage cost and time cost.

[0039] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 8 , the first aspect of the present utility model provides an ice maker, aiming to optimize the ice production and ice detachment processes by simplifying the structure and improving the efficiency.

[0040] The housing 100 serves as the main structure of the ice maker. The housing 100 not only plays a role in supporting and protecting the internal components, but also is designed with a specific stop part 102. The stop part 102 is used to interact with the deformation part 108 during the ice-detaching process to push the ice cubes out of the ice-making cavity 106.

[0041] The ice-making part 104 is connected to the housing 100, and an ice-making cavity 106 is also formed in the ice-making part 104. The ice-making part 104 can realize the dual functions of ice making and ice detachment. In the embodiment of the present utility model, the ice-making cavity 106 is composed of a first ice-making groove 112 and a second ice-making groove 114. At least one of the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 is designed to be movable and can switch between the ice-making position and the ice-detaching position. This design enables the ice maker to perform ice-making and ice-detaching operations as needed.

[0042] The first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 are structurally matched with each other. Mating surfaces are respectively formed on the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114. The mating surfaces on the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 are closely attached when in the ice-making position, ensuring the sealing performance and stability of the ice-making cavity 106, which is beneficial to the uniform formation of ice cubes.

[0043] A deformation part 108 is formed on one of the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114. It should be noted that the deformation part 108 is formed on the side away from the mating surface. That is, when the deformation part 108 is formed on the first ice-making tank 112, the deformation part 108 is formed on the side of the first ice-making tank 112 away from the mating surface of the first ice-making tank 112. When the deformation part 108 is formed on the second ice-making tank 114, the deformation part 108 is formed on the side of the second ice-making tank 114 away from the mating surface of the second ice-making tank 114. Among them, the deformation part 108 can be made of an elastic material so that the deformation part 108 can be deformed by an external force when contacting the stop part 102. For example, the deformation part 108 can be made of materials such as silica gel and rubber.

[0044] When ice making is completed and ice needs to be removed, at least one of the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114 is switched to the ice-removing position. Taking the second ice-making tank 114 as an example, when the second ice-making tank 114 is switched to the ice-removing position, the deformation part 108 on the second ice-making tank 114 contacts the stop part 102 of the housing 100 and deforms under the action of the stop part 102. During the deformation process of the deformation part 108, the deformation force generated by the deformation part 108 acts on the second ice-making tank 114, so that the ice cubes can be pushed out of the second ice-making tank 114.

[0045] Optionally, the ice-making part 104 further includes a support member 110. The support member 110 is connected to the housing 100, and the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114 are arranged on the support member 110.

[0046] As Figure 2 shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the support member 110 serves as a support structure of the ice-making part 104. Its function is to firmly connect the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114 to the housing 100, ensuring that the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114 maintain a stable operating state during the ice-making and ice-removing processes. The support member 110 is usually designed as a strong and durable structure that can withstand various forces and stresses generated during the ice-making process.

[0047] The support member 110 is directly connected to the housing 100 to form an installation structure between the ice-making part 104 and the housing 100. The support member 110 ensures that the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114 can be accurately installed in the predetermined positions and cooperate with the stop part 102 of the housing 100 to achieve efficient ice-making and ice-removing functions.

[0048] The connection between the support member 110 and the housing 100 can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection. In the embodiment of the present utility model, a detachable connection is adopted between the support member 110 and the housing 100. Thus, when it is necessary to clean the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114, the support member 110 can be directly removed.

[0049] Optionally, the support member 110 includes a first support body 120 and a second support body 122. The first ice-making tank 112 is arranged on the first support body 120; the second ice-making tank 114 is arranged on the second support body 122.

[0050] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first support body 120 is designed to be connected to the housing 100 and is specifically used for installing the first ice-making tank 112. The first support body 120 has sufficient strength and stiffness to ensure that the first ice-making tank 112 can maintain a stable position and posture during the ice-making and ice-removing processes. At the same time, the first support body 120 can also be provided with corresponding guiding mechanisms or sliding rails and other auxiliary structures to facilitate the smooth switching of the first ice-making tank 112 between the ice-making position and the ice-removing position.

[0051] Similar to the first support body 120, the second support body 122 is also connected to the housing 100 and is used for installing the second ice-making tank 114.

[0052] By dividing the support member 110 into the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 and independently supporting the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114 respectively, the stability of the ice-making part 104 during the ice-making and ice-removing processes is significantly improved. This design can reduce problems such as the displacement or deformation of the ice-making tank caused by vibration or impact, and improve the overall performance and reliability of the ice-making machine. In addition, since the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 can ensure that the first ice-making tank 112 and the second ice-making tank 114 are closely fitted when in the ice-making position, an ice-making cavity 106 with good sealing performance is formed, which is beneficial to the uniform formation and rapid solidification of ice cubes.

[0053] Optionally, there are multiple first ice-making tanks 112, and the number of the second ice-making tanks 114 corresponds to that of the first ice-making tanks 112 one by one.

[0054] As Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, there are multiple first ice-making tanks 112 formed on the first support body 120, and the multiple first ice-making tanks 112 can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first support body 120. Correspondingly, there are also multiple second ice-making tanks 114, and the multiple second ice-making tanks 114 are arranged corresponding to the multiple first ice-making tanks 112 one by one.

[0055] In some other embodiments, multiple rows of the first ice-making grooves 112 may be provided along the width direction of the first support 120.

[0056] In addition, the shapes of the first ice-making grooves 112 and the second ice-making grooves 114 may be semicircular, rectangular, etc., and can be flexibly set according to actual ice-making requirements.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present utility model, the multiple first ice-making grooves 112 are independent of each other. Similarly, the multiple second ice-making grooves 114 are independent of each other. In this way, independent ice cubes can be made in each first ice-making groove 112 and the corresponding second ice-making groove 114. Correspondingly, the deformation part 108 is also provided in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple first ice-making grooves 112 and / or the multiple second ice-making grooves 114.

[0058] Optionally, a driving part 124 is further included. The driving part 124 is in transmission connection with the first support 120 and / or the second support 122 through a transmission member.

[0059] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in order to further improve the ice removal convenience of the ice maker, the ice maker further includes a driving part 124. The driving part 124 is in transmission connection with the first support 120 and / or the second support 122 through a transmission member.

[0060] The driving part 124 can adopt various power forms, such as a motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc. The specific selection depends on the design requirements and working environment of the ice maker. In the embodiments of the present utility model, the driving part 124 is selected as a motor, and the motor has the advantages of high control accuracy, fast response, and low noise.

[0061] The transmission member is a component connecting the driving part 124 and the support. The transmission member is used to transmit the power generated by the driving part 124 to the first support 120 and / or the second support 122, so as to drive the first ice-making groove 112 and / or the second ice-making groove 114 to switch between the ice-making position and the ice removal position.

[0062] It can be understood that the driving part 124 can be directly connected to the first support 120 or the second support 122 through the transmission member to achieve one-to-one transmission, and further enable the first ice-making groove 112 or the second ice-making groove 114 to switch between the ice-making position and the ice removal position. This method has a simple structure and high transmission efficiency, but requires the transmission member to have high precision and strength.

[0063] The driving part 124 can also be in transmission connection with the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 simultaneously through a transmission member. When the driving part 124 acts, it can drive the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 to act simultaneously, so that the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 can be switched between the ice-making position and the ice-detaching position simultaneously.

[0064] By introducing the driving part 124 and the transmission member, at least one of the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 can move flexibly, improving the automation degree and ice-detaching convenience of the ice maker.

[0065] Optionally, a shaft hole 126 is provided on the first support body 120 and / or the second support body 122; the transmission member includes a rotating shaft 128 and an elastic member 132. The rotating shaft 128 passes through the shaft hole 126 and a rocker arm 130 is arranged at the end of the rotating shaft 128; the elastic member 132 is connected between the rocker arm 130 and the first support body 120, and / or the elastic member 132 is connected between the rocker arm 130 and the second support body 122.

[0066] As Figure 3 shown, a shaft hole 126 is provided on the first support body 120 and / or the second support body 122, and the shaft hole 126 is used for installing the rotating shaft 128 in the transmission member.

[0067] The transmission member includes two parts, a rotating shaft 128 and an elastic member 132. The rotating shaft 128 passes through the shaft hole 126 of the support body, and a rocker arm 130 is arranged at its end. The elastic member 132 is connected between the rocker arm 130 and the support body (whether it is the first support body 120 or the second support body 122, or both are connected).

[0068] Combined with reference to Figure 4 , a limiting groove 140 is provided at the shaft hole 126, a limiting block 142 is installed on the rotating shaft 128, the width of the limiting groove 140 is greater than the width of the limiting block 142, and two opposite groove side walls of the limiting groove 140 respectively form a first contact surface 144 and a second contact surface 146.

[0069] Taking the second support body 122 as an example, the elastic member 132 is connected between the second support body 122 and the rocker arm 130. When both the first ice-making groove 112 and the second ice-making groove 114 are in the ice-making position, the elastic member 132 can apply a certain pulling force to the second support body 122, so that the second support body 122 can be closely attached to the first support body 120, ensuring the close attachment of the second ice-making groove 114 and the first ice-making groove 112, ensuring the sealing of the ice-making cavity 106 during ice-making, being beneficial to preventing the loss of cold quantity, and being beneficial to forming complete ice cubes.

[0070] When ice making is completed and defrosting is required, the driving part 124 drives the rotating shaft 128 to start rotating. The limiting block 142 rotates in the limiting groove 140. At this time, the limiting block 142 has not yet contacted the first contact surface 144, but the rocker arm 130 will always rotate following the rotating shaft 128. During this process, with the movement of the rocker arm 130, the elastic deformation amount of the elastic member 132 can be reduced, thereby at least partially releasing the pulling force exerted by the elastic member 132 on the second support body 122. When the limiting block 142 starts to contact the first contact surface 144, the rotating shaft 128 drives the second support body 122 to move. At this time, the second ice making groove 114 starts to switch from the ice making position to the defrosting position. When the deformation part 108 on the second ice making groove 114 contacts the stop part 102 on the housing 100, the deformation part 108 on the second ice making groove 114 deforms, so that the second ice making groove 114 is subjected to a certain extrusion, and then the ice cubes in the second ice making groove 114 are separated.

[0071] When defrosting is completed and ice making is required, the driving part 124 drives the rotating shaft 128 to rotate in the reverse direction. When the limiting block 142 contacts the second contact surface 146, the rotating shaft 128 drives the second support body 122 to move, and the second ice making groove 114 starts to switch from the defrosting position to the ice making position. During this process, the rocker arm 130 moves synchronously with the rotating shaft 128. When the driving part 124 drives in place, the rocker arm 130 stops moving. At this time, due to the pulling force of the elastic member 132, the second support body 122 can be closely attached to the first support body 120, and then ice making can start.

[0072] It can be understood that when the driving part 124 drives the first support body 120 to move, the movement mode is similar to that of the second support body 122 described above, and will not be elaborated here. Of course, when the driving part 124 drives the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 to move simultaneously, the movement mode of the second support body 122 can also be referred to. That is, in addition to the form in which the driving part 124 drives the second support body 122 to move mentioned above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the driving part 124 can also drive the first support body 120 to move relative to the second support body 122 alone, or the driving part 124 can also drive the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 to move relative to each other simultaneously.

[0073] In some other embodiments, the movement modes of the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 may not be limited to the rotation form described above, and the movement modes of the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 may also be translational movement or other forms.

[0074] In addition, in the embodiment of the present utility model, at the ice-making position, the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 are arranged vertically. In some other embodiments, the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 can also be arranged horizontally, obliquely, etc.

[0075] Optionally, a seal 138 is provided between the first support body 120 and the second support body 122.

[0076] The main purpose of the seal 138 is to provide an effective seal between the first support body 120 and the second support body 122, prevent the leakage of cold during the ice-making process, and ensure the normal operation and long-term use of the ice maker. For example, the seal 138 can be arranged on the mating surface between the first support body 120 and the second support body 122 to ensure that a tight seal can be formed when they are closed or combined. According to the general uses and characteristics of the seal 138, the seal 138 can be a rubber sealing strip, an O-ring, a sealing gasket, etc. These seal 138 materials usually have good elasticity and corrosion resistance and can adapt to various working environments.

[0077] Optionally, an annular clamping groove 116 is formed on the deformation part 108, and an elastic head 118 is clamped on the annular clamping groove 116. At the ice-removing position, the elastic head 118 is adapted to contact the stop part 102 to deform.

[0078] As Figure 6 shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the annular clamping groove 116 is used to install and fix the elastic head 118. The shape and size of the annular clamping groove 116 are designed to match the elastic head 118 to ensure a stable connection and smooth cooperation between them.

[0079] The elastic head 118 has elasticity, and the material of the elastic head 118 can be silica gel, rubber or other materials with good elasticity and wear resistance. The function of the elastic head 118 is to deform when subjected to an external force and return to its original state after the external force is removed.

[0080] In some other embodiments, a slot can also be formed on the deformation part 108, and the elastic head 118 is directly inserted into the slot, or the deformation part 108 can also be directly integrally formed on the side of the first ice-making groove 112 away from the mating surface and / or the side of the second ice-making groove 114 away from the mating surface.

[0081] Optionally, a stop surface 136 is formed on the stop part 102. At the ice-removing position, the stop surface 136 is adapted to stop the deformation part 108 to cause the deformation part 108 to deform.

[0082] As Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, the stop portion 102 can be a boss structure formed on the housing 100, and a stop surface 136 is formed on the boss structure. The stop surface 136 can be in the form of a flat surface, an arc surface, a wavy surface, etc. Taking the second ice-making groove 114 as an example, when the second ice-making groove 114 is switched to the defrosting position, the deformation portion 108 on the second ice-making groove 114 can come into contact with the stop surface 136. Under the stopping action of the stop surface 136, the deformation portion 108 on the second ice-making groove 114 can deform to extrude the ice cubes in the second ice-making groove 114.

[0083] In some other embodiments, the stop portion 102 can also be a rod-shaped protrusion structure corresponding to the deformation portion 108.

[0084] The second aspect of the present utility model provides a refrigeration device, including a box body and the above-mentioned ice maker, and the ice maker is connected to the box body.

[0085] According to the refrigeration device provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present utility model, by combining the ice maker with the box body, an integrated refrigeration device integrating ice making and refrigeration is formed, so that in addition to the refrigeration and freezing functions, the refrigeration device also adds an ice-making function, meeting the diverse needs of users in different scenarios. In addition, by integrating the ice maker into the refrigeration device, the energy can be more reasonably distributed and utilized. For example, the cooling system of the refrigeration device can be used to provide the required ice-making cooling capacity for the ice maker, reducing additional energy consumption.

[0086] The refrigeration device provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes various refrigeration devices such as refrigerators, freezers, display cabinets, vending cabinets, wine cabinets, etc. The types of refrigeration devices are diverse and can be selected according to needs.
