[0036] The following describes the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 9 , the present utility model provides an ice storage box of an ice maker with a quickly detachable handle, including an ice storage box body 1 and a handle 2. The handle 2 is detachably connected to the ice storage box body 1 through a quick-release structure. By using the detachable handle 2, when packaging and transporting, the handle 2 can be detached to reduce the packaging size and facilitate packaging and transportation.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the quick-release structure includes an oblong lock hole 101 provided on the ice storage box body 1. The height dimension of the oblong lock hole 101 is greater than its width dimension, and the oblong lock hole 101 communicates with the outside and the inner cavity of the ice storage box body 1. One end of the handle 2 facing the ice storage box body 1 is provided with an oblong lock head 201 adapted to the oblong lock hole 101, and stop lock walls 102 for locking the oblong lock head 201 are formed on both sides of the oblong lock hole 101.

[0039] Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , during installation, first keep the handle 2 in the first state (horizontal state), align the oblong lock head 201 and pass it through the oblong lock hole 101. At this time, the oblong lock head 201 is located inside the stop lock wall 102; then rotate the handle 2 to the second state (vertical state) so that the oblong lock head 201 rotates and abuts against the stop lock wall 102. At this time, due to the limitation of the stop lock wall 102, the oblong lock head 201 cannot escape from the oblong lock hole 101, thereby locking and installing the handle 2 on the ice storage box body 1 (as shown in Figure 1 ); this structure can not only achieve the detachable function of the handle 2 but also achieve quick disassembly, and both disassembly and assembly are very convenient.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a circular through hole 103 is provided on the ice storage box body 1, and a waist-shaped locking hole 101 is located on the inner side of the through hole 103, and the waist-shaped locking hole 101 is connected to the through hole 103. A rotation-stopping structure is provided on the outer side of the through hole 103, and the rotation-stopping structure is used to keep the handle 2 in the second state; the rotation-stopping structure includes a limit card slot 104 symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the through hole 103, and the handle 2 is symmetrically provided with a limit convex point 202 that can be placed in the limit card slot 104. In this structure, when the handle 2 is rotated to the second state, the limit convex point 202 is placed in the limit card slot 104, thereby preventing the handle 2 from rotating and keeping it in the second state, ensuring the safety of use; the ice storage box body 1 and the handle 2 are both plastic parts, and when the handle 2 is disassembled, a large rotation torque is required to make the limit convex point 202 disengage from the limit card slot 104.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer side of the through hole 103 is symmetrically provided with a limit stopper 105, and the two limit stoppers 105 are arranged alternately with the two limit slots 104. The limit stopper 105 is connected with the corresponding limit slot 104 through an arc-shaped inclined guide wall 106, and the limit slot 104, the limit stopper 105 and the arc-shaped inclined guide wall 106 are located on the same circumference. In this structure, when the handle 2 is inserted in a horizontal state, the limit convex point 202 abuts against one side of the limit stopper 105, and the limit stopper 105 can limit the rotation direction of the handle 2 so that it can only rotate toward the limit slot 104; when the handle 2 is rotated to a vertical state, the limit convex point 202 moves along the arc-shaped inclined guide wall 106 and finally engages with the limit slot 104.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the ice storage box body 1 is provided with a shielding protrusion 107 on the periphery of the anti-rotation structure, and the limit slot 104, the limit stopper 105 and the arc-shaped inclined guide wall 106 are all located inside the shielding protrusion 107. The shielding protrusion 107 is provided to shield the limit slot 104, the limit stopper 105 and the arc-shaped inclined guide wall 106, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the handle after installation.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, one end of the handle 2 extends towards the ice storage box body 1 and is provided with a connecting column 203. The limiting bumps 202 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting column 203. The outer end of the connecting column 203 is constricted to form a plug-in column 204 adapted to the through hole 103. The outer end of the plug-in column 204 is constricted to form a constricted column 205 that can be placed into the waist-shaped lock hole 101. The waist-shaped lock head 201 is connected to the constricted column 205. Among them, the outer diameters of the connecting column 203, the plug-in column 204, and the constricted column 205 decrease in sequence. The outer diameter of the plug-in column 204 is adapted to the inner diameter of the through hole 103 to prevent the handle from shaking after installation. After installing the handle, the constricted column 205 is placed in the waist-shaped lock hole 101, the plug-in column 204 is placed in the through hole 103, and the connecting column 203 is located outside the ice storage box body 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, one end of the waist-shaped lock head 201 facing the ice storage box body 1 is provided with a tapered surface 206. The provision of the tapered surface 206 facilitates passing the waist-shaped lock head 201 through the waist-shaped lock hole 101 and facilitates operation.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 shown, the first state is a horizontal installation state ( Figure 7 shown), and the second state is a vertical locking state (the state when the handle is in use). The handle 2 is rotated 90 degrees to be adjusted from the first state to the second state ( Figure 1 shown).

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the handle 2 includes a handle main body 21 and a decorative cover 22 fixed on the handle main body 21. The waist-shaped lock head 201 is integrally provided on the handle main body 21; the waist-shaped lock hole 101 is located at the upper middle position of the ice storage box body 1, and a water outlet 108 is provided on the ice storage box body 1.

[0047] For the same and similar parts among the various embodiments in this specification, reference can be made to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0048] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered by the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
