Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of refrigeration appliances, in particular to an ice guiding assembly applicable to an ice maker and an ice maker using the same. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is usually arranged in the freezer of a refrigerator to make ice by means of the cold air in the freezer. In the prior art, a conventional ice maker is designed with a structure for assisting in discharging ice, and its function is to push the ice cubes in the ice making groove cavity out onto the ice separating plate (also called an ice guiding plate or an ice peeling part) of the ice separator through a pushing ice rod, and slide into the ice storage box through the guiding of the ice separating plate.

[0003] In this regard, the publication number CN214537002U discloses an ice making assembly and a refrigerator. Considering improving the stability of the use state of the ice guiding plate adopted, the ice guiding plate is fixed to the ice making groove by screws. In this way of fixing the ice guiding plate, since the screw is connected to the ice guiding rod, in order to ensure a reliable mating relationship between the ice guiding rod and the ice making groove, the ice guiding rod needs to have a certain thickness to meet the locking force requirement of the screw, so as to avoid the problem that local deformation of the ice guiding rod may occur under the screw locking state due to insufficient thickness. For this reason, the production cost of the ice guiding rod will increase synchronously. And for the ice guiding rod with an increased thickness, it will also increase the control of the included angle between the ice guiding rod and the inner wall surface of the ice guiding plate. If the included angle between the ice guiding rod and the inner wall surface of the ice guiding plate is too large, it is easy to cause ice jamming, and if the angle is too small, it will make the ice cubes not easy to slide into the ice storage container. In addition, for the assembly and disassembly of the ice guiding plate, it is necessary to disassemble and assemble each screw one by one, and the whole process is relatively cumbersome.

[0004] Therefore, for the ice guiding structure adopted in the existing ice maker, in terms of simplifying its assembly process and reducing the material cost in the production process, its structure needs to be further optimized and improved. Summary of the Utility Model

Detailed implementation manners

[0045] In order to make the content of the present utility model easier to be clearly understood, the present utility model will be further described in detail below according to specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Embodiment 1:

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, this embodiment provides an ice guiding assembly applicable to an ice maker, including: an ice guiding plate 1, an ice rod portion arranged substantially in an L shape with the ice guiding plate 1, and a positioning plate 2 provided at a side end corner of a width direction of the ice guiding plate 1 and the ice rod portion (in combination with the structure of the ice making tank 3 of the actual ice maker, the positioning plate 2 is located at a side end of the ice making tank 3 opposite to the control housing 8 connected to the ice making tank 3). Based on this structure, when the ice guiding assembly is assembled in place with the ice making tank 3 of the ice maker, the ice rod portion is located above the notch of the ice making tank 3, and the ice guiding plate 1 is located outside the ice making tank 3. Generally speaking, the ice rod portion adopted includes a plurality of plate-shaped ice guiding rods 6 spaced along the length direction of the ice making tank 3).

[0048] Next, the assembly and fixing requirements between the ice guiding assembly of this embodiment and the ice making tank 3 will be specifically described:

[0049] First, the positioning plate 2 is formed with a positioning portion for cooperating with the wall surface of the ice making tank 3 of the ice maker; in this regard, taking a specific optional implementation case in combination with the accompanying drawings as an example, the positioning portion is a through hole 21 formed on the positioning plate 2; and a positioning post 31 in the shape of a protrusion is provided on the wall surface of the ice making tank 3 and is adapted to be inserted and cooperated with the through hole 21. The positioning post 31 extends along the length direction of the ice making tank 3. Based on this structure, during the process of assembling the ice guiding assembly and the ice making tank 3, the cooperation between the through hole 21 and the positioning post 31 enables the overall ice guiding assembly to be installed on the ice making tank 3 along the length direction of the ice making tank 3 (as shown in the attached Figure 1 figure, which is the X-axis direction). Of course, theoretically, a positioning post 31 in the shape of a protrusion extending along the length direction of the ice making tank 3 can also be designed on the positioning portion, and a mating hole corresponding to the positioning post 31 can be designed on the ice making tank 3. This embodiment does not make an absolute limitation on this. Taking the positioning post 31 and the through hole 21 as an example of circular structures, for the cooperation between the inner diameter of the through hole 21 and the outer diameter of the positioning post 31, absolute precision is not required because the two mainly consider the axial dimension cooperation, and reducing the requirement for the radial dimension can reduce the production difficulty.

[0050] Secondly, at least one buckle 4 is provided on the side end face of the ice rod portion facing the ice guide plate 1, and each buckle 4 is arranged on one side edge of the ice guide rod 1 facing the inner wall surface of the ice making groove 3; the buckle 4 is adapted to form a clamping groove 5 at the inner corner of the ice guide plate 1 and the ice rod portion in the length direction, and the clamping groove 5 is used for being clamped on the ice making groove 3. It should be noted that the fitting direction of the positioning portion and the wall surface of the ice making groove 3 of the ice maker is perpendicular to the buckle 4 direction of the clamping groove 5 and the groove wall of the ice making groove 3 (the fitting direction of the positioning portion and the ice making groove 3 shown in the attached drawing is the X-axis direction, while the fitting direction of the clamping groove 5 and the ice making groove 3 is the Y-axis direction).

[0051] More specifically, regarding the buckle 4 designed in this embodiment, it can be designed only on one ice guide rod 6. In this case, it is preferably designed on the ice guide rod 6 at the middle position corresponding to the length direction of the ice making groove 3 among multiple ice guide rods 6, or it can be arranged at intervals on, for example, two or three or even more. This embodiment does not make an absolute limitation on this.

[0052] On the basis of the above structure, in order to meet the usage requirements of the buckle 4 and the clamping groove 5, the following design is made on the ice making groove 3 in this embodiment:

[0053] Generally, a first fence 32 in the shape of a protrusion for cooperating with the clamping groove 5 is provided on the groove wall of the ice making groove 3. The first fence 32 here is preferably a strip-shaped first fence 32 extending along the length direction of the ice making groove 3. In this case, for the cooperation between the first fence 32 and the clamping groove 5, it is not necessary to identify the specific position of the first fence 32, that is, the cooperation between the buckle 4 and the first fence 32 can be achieved without alignment. Of course, the first fence 32 can also be designed as a split first fence 32 arranged at intervals and cooperating with the clamping groove 5 one by one. Both of these two cases theoretically meet the usage requirements of this embodiment, and this embodiment does not make an absolute limitation on this. However, whether it is the strip-shaped first fence 32 or the split first fence 32, their general extension direction is along the length direction of the ice making groove 3.

[0054] Regarding the buckle 4, in this embodiment, it is not only used to form the card slot 5, but also used to cooperate with the first fence 32. Specifically, the buckle 4 includes a contact surface 41 for abutting and cooperating with the side wall surface of the first fence 32 facing away from the ice guide plate 1, and an arc transition surface 42 connected to the contact surface 41 and extending toward the side away from the ice guide plate 1. In this regard, during the assembly of the ice guide assembly and the ice making groove 3, along the Y-axis direction shown in the attached drawing, the buckle 4 needs to cross the first fence 32 so that the first fence 32 can smoothly enter the card slot 5. During this process, in order to improve the smoothness of the buckle 4 crossing the first fence 32, optionally, the outer wall surface of the top end of the first fence 32 away from its connection to the ice making groove 3 is designed as a circular arc surface 321 suitable for forming a sliding fit with the arc transition surface 42 of the buckle 4, that is, the sliding fit is used to reduce the frictional resistance between the buckle 4 and the first fence 32.

[0055] In addition, on the basis of the above structure, considering that in order to further improve the reliability of the use state of the ice guide assembly and the firmness of the structure, a second fence 33 extending along its length direction in a strip shape or arranged at intervals in multiple sections is formed on one side edge of the ice making groove 3 corresponding to its notch. The second fence 33 in both of these cases can meet the use requirements of this embodiment. The second fence 33 is located on the side of the first fence 32 facing the ice guide plate 1; and the second fence 33 is suitable for abutting and cooperating with the side wall surface of the ice guide plate 1 facing the ice making groove 3. Here, the abutting cooperation between the second fence 33 and the ice guide plate 1 can form a limit for the ice guide assembly in the Z-axis direction shown in the attached drawing. In this way, for the ice guide assembly of this embodiment, the limits in the XYZ three-axis directions are synchronously realized, preventing the phenomenon of crosstalk during the use of the ice guide assembly.

[0056] Regarding the ice guide plate 1 adopted in this embodiment, in an alternative embodiment, at least one support column 7 in the form of a protrusion is further provided on the wall surface facing the ice making groove 3 and suitable for abutting on the outer wall support surface 35 of the ice making groove 3. In this structure, for the ice guide plate 1 made of thin-walled parts, it is easy to deform. The support column 7 can provide a support force in the Z-axis direction, so as to take into account the use stability of the ice guide plate 1 and the purpose of saving production material costs.

[0057] Regarding the ice guide rod 6 adopted in this embodiment, it should be further explained that, first, a limiting portion 11 is formed on the end surface of the ice guide plate 1 on the side facing away from the positioning portion; and a limiting cavity 81 suitable for the limiting portion 11 to be embedded is further provided on the outer side wall of the control housing 8 of the ice maker. The cooperation between the limiting portion 11 and the limiting cavity 81 further strengthens the structural stability of the ice guide assembly relative to the ice making groove 3 in the use state, preventing the problem of unexpected loosening of the fit.

[0058] Secondly, on the inner wall surface of each ice guide rod 6 facing the ice making tank 3, a first abutting and mating wall 61 for abutting and mating with the notch support surface 36 on the ice making tank 3 and a second abutting and mating wall 62 for abutting against the top end of the first fence 32 are convexly formed; the convex height of the first abutting and mating wall 61 relative to the ice guide rod 6 is greater than that of the second abutting and mating wall 62. The design of the first abutting and mating wall 61 and the second abutting and mating wall 62 here can improve the reliability of the ice guide rod 6 in the working state and strengthen its supporting ability for ice cubes. At the same time, based on the design of the first abutting and mating wall 61 and the second abutting and mating wall 62 here, the overall thickness of the ice guide rod 6 can also be appropriately reduced. Each buckle 4 is arranged on one side edge of the inner wall surface of the ice guide rod 1 facing the ice making tank 3 and is spaced apart from the first abutting and mating wall 61 in the length direction, which is convenient for product processing.

[0059] In summary, for the ice guiding assembly applicable to the ice maker in this embodiment, first, the through hole 21 on the positioning plate 2 is passed through the positioning post 31 on the ice making tank 3 along the X direction, and the limiting part 11 of the ice guiding plate 1 is inserted into the limiting cavity 81 on the outer wall of the control housing 8 by vertically pushing along the X direction. Furthermore, a vertical force is applied along the Y direction to press the outer wall surface of the ice guiding plate 1 to cross the arc surface 321 of the first fence 32 through the arc transition surface 42 of the buckle 4, so that the buckle 4 abuts and mates with the side wall surface of the first fence 32 facing away from the ice guiding plate 1, achieving the fixing effect in the Y-axis direction and preventing the ice guiding assembly from deforming and accidentally falling off during installation or in the low-temperature working state. Therefore, for the assembly process of the ice guiding assembly in this embodiment, no auxiliary tool is required for assembly, but the pressing and inserting method can be directly adopted, so the assembly process is convenient and efficient.

[0060] Embodiment 2:

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, on the basis of the ice guiding assembly applicable to the ice maker in Embodiment 1, the ice guiding assembly applicable to the ice maker provided in this embodiment also has the following design:

[0062] First, at the corner connection of each ice guide rod 6 and the ice guiding plate 1 and corresponding to the first abutting and mating wall 61 and the buckle 4 in the Y-axis direction, a corner through hole 9 is formed. The shape of the corner through hole 9 is generally L-shaped, so that a part of it is formed on the ice guide rod 6 and the other part is formed on the ice guiding plate 1. The design of the corner through hole 9 here facilitates the injection molding and demolding of the ice guide rod 6, specifically facilitating the demolding of the first abutting and mating wall 61 and the buckle 4, and at the same time, the convex height of the first abutting and mating wall 61 relative to the ice guide rod 6 can be made greater than that of the second abutting and mating wall 62.

[0063] Based on the above situation, through the design of the corner through-hole 9 in this embodiment, the range of the inner angle Q formed by the inner wall surface of each ice guide rod 6 of the ice rod part and the inner wall surface of the ice guide plate 1 can be 95° - 105° (here, the "inner" and "outer" in the inner wall surface and outer wall surface are relative to the inner angle formed by the ice rod part and the ice guide plate 1. "Inner" refers to the side facing the inner angle, and "outer" refers to the side facing away from the inner angle). If the angle between the ice guide rod 6 and the ice guide plate 1 is lower or higher than this range here, too large an angle is likely to cause ice jamming, and too small an angle makes it difficult for the ice cubes to slide into the ice storage container. When the guiding angle formed between the ice guide rod 6 and the ice guide plate 1 is controlled within the range of the inner angle Q, when the ice pushing rod pushes the ice cubes in the cavity of the ice making groove 3 onto the ice guide rod 6, the ice cubes are more likely to slide into the ice storage box.

[0064] Embodiment 3:

[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 As shown, based on the ice guiding assembly applicable to an ice maker in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides an ice maker, including: the ice guiding assembly applicable to an ice maker in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2.

[0066] It should be noted that, of course, the ice maker adopted in this embodiment also includes structures such as the ice making groove 3, the ice pushing rod, the ice detecting arm, as well as the controller, the driving mechanism, etc. required in the mature technology. Generally, the controller and the driving mechanism are built in the control housing 8. In order to cooperate with the use of the ice guiding assembly, the structures of the ice making groove 3 and the control housing 8 are improved as described in Embodiment 1, but the implementation principle of the overall ice making groove 3 and the control housing 8 itself is not improved. Therefore, the specific implementation principle thereof is not absolutely limited here, and any mature means in the prior art can be adopted.

[0067] Generally speaking, for the ice maker in this embodiment, when the temperature of the ice making groove 3 reaches the set temperature value, the driving mechanism pushes the ice cubes in the cavity of the ice making groove 3 onto the ice guide rod 6 of the ice guiding assembly through the ice pushing rod, and the ice cubes slide into the ice storage box through the guiding of the ice guide rod 6.
