Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an opening and closing adjusting assembly for an ice detection arm of an ice maker and an ice maker. Background Art

[0002] For an ice maker applied to a household refrigerator, an ice detection arm is usually configured. By controlling the working state of the ice detection arm, specifically, controlling the opening and closing of the ice detection function, the opening and closing of the ice maker can be indirectly controlled.

[0003] In the prior art, the locking of the ice detection arm in an ice maker generally is achieved through a lock catch installed on the housing of the ice maker. For example, the patent with publication number CN218821134U discloses a locking assembly for an ice detection arm of an ice maker, which restricts the movement of the ice detection arm through the sliding of the lock catch, enabling it to adjust its opening and closing working states. For this locking assembly, through actual research and use, it is found that it has the following defects:

[0004] The movement mode of the lock catch is to move back and forth between ON and OFF. Currently, in order to facilitate the sliding of the lock catch on the housing of the ice maker, there is a problem of loose fit when the lock catch is installed on the housing, resulting in the possibility that the lock catch may slide to the OFF end unexpectedly when the ice detection arm moves, causing the lock catch to unexpectedly jam the ice detection arm, thereby causing the ice maker to close unexpectedly during operation.

[0005] Therefore, based on the currently commonly used lock catch, it is necessary to further optimize its overall structure to avoid the unexpected adjustment effect of the lock catch on the ice detection arm, that is, to ensure that the opening and closing adjustment of the lock catch on the ice detection arm is based on actual usage requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The first object of the utility model is to provide an opening and closing adjusting assembly for an ice detection arm of an ice maker to solve the technical problem of avoiding the unexpected adjustment effect of the lock catch on the ice detection arm.

[0007] The second object of the utility model is to provide an ice maker to solve the technical problem of ensuring that the opening and closing adjustment of the ice detection arm is based on actual usage requirements.

[0008] The opening and closing adjusting assembly for an ice detection arm of an ice maker of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0009] An opening and closing adjusting assembly for an ice detection arm of an ice maker, comprising: a lock catch adapted to be slidably engaged with the housing of the ice maker;

[0010] The latch at least includes a dial plate, as well as a sliding guiding structure and a sliding locking structure formed between the mating surface of the dial plate and the housing of the ice maker;

[0012] The locking groove includes a straight groove portion extending along the sliding direction of the latch and a pair of groove ends adapted to the locking cap provided at both side ends of the straight groove portion;

[0013] The groove width and / or groove depth of the straight groove portion perpendicular to the movement direction of the latch is less than the groove width and / or groove depth of any one of the groove ends;

[0014] When the ice inspection arm is in the locked state, the locking cap is located in one of the groove ends of the locking groove, and when the ice inspection arm is in the starting state, the locking cap is located in the other groove end of the locking groove.

[0015] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the locking groove is provided on the housing of the ice maker, and the locking cap is provided on the dial plate.

[0016] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the locking cap is integrally injection molded with the dial plate.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the locking groove is provided on the dial plate, and the locking cap is provided on the housing of the ice maker.

[0019] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the locking cap adopts a frustum-shaped structure; and

[0020] The outer diameter of the locking cap along the groove depth direction of the locking groove gradually decreases.

[0021] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, a pair of the groove ends are symmetrically arranged and are both cylindrical grooves.

[0022] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the sliding guiding structure includes a first sliding guiding group and a second sliding guiding group that are separately arranged along a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the latch;

[0023] The first sliding guiding group includes a first guiding portion provided on the dial plate and a first guiding groove provided on the housing of the ice maker and adapted to the first guiding portion;

[0024] The second sliding guiding group includes a second guiding portion provided on the dial plate and a second guiding groove provided on the housing of the ice maker and adapted to the second guiding portion.

[0026] The ice maker of the present utility model is realized as follows:

[0027] An ice maker includes an opening and closing adjustment assembly for the ice inspection arm of the ice maker.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects: For the lock catch installed on the housing of the ice maker, the opening and closing adjustment assembly for the ice inspection arm of the present utility model is used to lock the ice inspection arm. When the lock catch moves to the first extreme position and is in an open state, the ice inspection arm is in a starting state and can perform ice inspection. When the lock catch moves to the second extreme position and is in a locked state, the ice inspection arm is in a locked state and can no longer perform the ice inspection function. When the lock catch moves to the two extreme positions, through the sliding locking structure arranged between the cooperating surfaces of the dial plate and the housing of the ice maker, during the process of the ice inspection arm being in the starting state for ice inspection, the locking cap is located in one end of the locking groove, and the lock catch will not have unexpected movement relative to the housing of the ice maker. Similarly, during the process of the ice inspection arm being in the locked state and not performing ice inspection, the locking cap is located in the other end of the locking groove, and the lock catch will also not have unexpected movement relative to the housing of the ice maker. That is to say, the movement state of the lock catch is limited by the cooperation of the locking cap and the two ends of the locking groove, thereby improving the accuracy of the adjustment of the movement of the lock catch to the movement state of the ice inspection arm.

Detailed implementation manners

[0040] In order to make the content of the present utility model easier to be clearly understood, the following further details the present utility model according to specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment provides an opening and closing adjustment component for the ice inspection arm 3 of an ice maker, including: a locking buckle 2 adapted to be slidably matched with the housing 1 of the ice maker; for this locking buckle 2, it is used to lock the ice inspection arm 3. When the locking buckle 2 moves to the first extreme position and is in the open state, the ice inspection arm 3 is in the starting state and can perform ice inspection. When the locking buckle 2 moves to the second extreme position and is in the locked state, the ice inspection arm 3 is in the locked state and can no longer perform the ice inspection function.

[0043] Specifically, the cooperation between the locking buckle 2 and the ice inspection arm 3 can optionally adopt any mature means in the prior art. For example, but not limited to, a locking component for the ice inspection arm 3 of an ice maker disclosed in the publication number CN218821134U. Generally, the stop portion 22 provided on the locking buckle 2 abuts against the ice inspection arm 3 of the ice maker, and the stop portion 22 adjusts its different positions on the housing 1 of the ice maker to realize the cooperation between the stop portion 22 and different parts of the ice inspection arm 3, so as to adjust the switching control of the working state of the locking buckle 2 for the ice inspection arm 3.

[0044] Next, the specific structure of the lock buckle 2 of this embodiment is described:

[0045] The lock 2 at least includes a dial plate 21, and a sliding guide structure and a sliding locking structure formed between the matching surfaces of the dial plate 21 and the housing 1 of the ice maker.

[0046] Firstly, the dial plate 21 is mainly designed to facilitate manual operation of the lock buckle 2, and anti-skid ribs or anti-skid patterns or conformal operations such as a handle 23 suitable for manual hand operation may be provided thereon.

[0047] Secondly, the sliding guide structure includes a first sliding guide group and a second sliding guide group which are separately arranged along a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the lock 2. In more detail, the first sliding guide group includes a first guide portion 24 provided on the dial plate 21 and a first guide groove 11 provided on the housing 1 of the ice maker and adapted to the first guide portion 24; the second sliding guide group includes a second guide portion 25 provided on the dial plate 21 and a second guide groove 12 provided on the housing 1 of the ice maker and adapted to the second guide portion 25.

[0048] It should be noted that the first guide groove 11 is parallel to the second guide groove 12; and the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 12 are respectively located on two perpendicular walls on the shell 1 of the ice maker. One of the walls is the visual surface when people turn the lock buckle 2, and the second wall 27 is the non-visual surface when people turn the lock buckle 2. Optionally, in this embodiment, the first sliding guide group is arranged on the first wall 26, and the second sliding guide group is arranged on the second wall 27. Under such a structure, the guide limit formed by the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 12 for the locking buckle is combined with the three-dimensional space, that is, there are three different dimensional levels (such as Figure 1 The locking buckle can only be moved along the groove extension direction of the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 12, that is, Figure 1 The X-slip in the .

[0049] On the basis of the above structure, in order to prevent the lock 2 from unexpectedly detaching from the housing 1 of the ice maker, at least one of the first guide portion 24 and the first guide groove 11 and the second guide portion 25 and the second guide groove 12 can be selected to form an anti-detachment fit. In this embodiment, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, only the case where the anti-detachment portion 28 is provided on the first guide portion 24 is taken as an example. For the specific implementation principle of the anti-detachment portion 28, the technical solution disclosed in CN218821134U can be selected. This embodiment does not make any improvement to it, so it is not specifically limited here.

[0050] Based on the above structure, the present embodiment will focus on the sliding locking structure:

[0051] Generally speaking, for the layout position of the sliding locking structure, it is arranged between the first sliding guide group and the second sliding guide group along the direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the lock catch 2. Optionally, it can be arranged at the first wall surface 26. In this layout mode, it is convenient for the sliding locking structure to correspond to the ON and OFF marks on the ice maker housing 1.

[0052] Specifically in terms of structure, the sliding locking structure includes a locking groove 5 and a locking cap 4 that are in plug-in fit; among them, the locking groove 5 includes a straight groove portion 51 extending along the sliding direction of the lock catch 2 and a pair of groove ends 52 adapted to the locking cap 4 provided at both side ends of the straight groove portion 51. When the lock catch 2 moves along the first guide groove 11 and the second guide groove 12, the locking cap 4 also moves along the locking groove 5 synchronously.

[0053] Based on the above situation, it should be noted that in an optional implementation case, the locking groove 5 is arranged on the first wall surface 26 of the ice maker housing 1, and the locking cap 4 is arranged on the dial plate 21. And in another optional implementation case, the locking groove 5 is arranged on the dial plate 21, and the locking cap 4 is arranged on the ice maker housing 1. Theoretically speaking, both of the above two implementation cases meet the use requirements of this embodiment. However, considering that the locking cap 4 should have a certain deformability, in this embodiment, the locking cap 4 is arranged on the dial plate 21, and at this time, preferably, the locking cap 4 and the dial plate 21 are integrally injection molded, and the locking cap 4 protrudes with respect to the wall surface of the dial plate 21 in contact with the first wall surface 26 (the protruding direction is Figure 1 the Y direction in

[0054] Based on the above situation, when the ice checking arm 3 is in the locked state, the locking cap 4 is located in one groove end 52 of the locking groove 5, and this groove end 52 corresponds to the OFF mark on the ice maker housing 1. And when the ice checking arm 3 is in the starting state, the locking cap 4 is located in the other groove end 52 of the locking groove 5, and this groove end 52 corresponds to the ON mark on the ice maker housing 1.

[0055] To meet the above use requirements, the following design is made for the matching situation between the locking groove 5 and the locking cap 4 in this embodiment:

[0056] The groove width ( Figure 1 the Z direction in Figure 1 and / or the groove depth ( Figure 1 the Z direction in Figure 1 and / or the groove depth (

[0057] Here, there are three cases in total:

[0058] In the first feasible implementation, the groove width of the straight groove portion 51 is the same as the groove width of the two groove ends 52, but the groove depth of the straight groove portion 51 is less than the groove depth of the two groove ends 52, and at this time, the groove depth of the straight groove portion 51 is less than the height of the locking cap 4 protruding from the paddle 21. When the locking cap 4 slides in the straight groove portion 51, the locking cap 4 will generate a Figure 1 The Y direction of the locking cap 4 is compressed and deformed to a certain extent, and when the locking cap 4 enters the two groove ends 52, the locking cap 4 can be restored and no longer needs to be compressed and deformed. At this time, when the locking cap 4 moves from the groove end 52 to the straight groove part 51, it is necessary to manually apply a certain toggle force to the lock buckle 2 so that the locking cap 4 can be deformed before entering the straight groove. Without this toggle force, the locking cap 4 cannot naturally move from the groove end 52 to the straight groove part 51. Therefore, the cooperation between the locking cap 4 and the two groove ends 52 of the locking groove 5 can limit the movement state of the lock buckle 2, thereby improving the accuracy of the lock buckle 2 movement to adjust the movement state of the ice detection arm 3.

[0059] In the second feasible implementation mode, the groove depth of the straight groove portion 51 is the same as the groove depth of the two groove ends 52, but the groove width of the straight groove portion 51 is smaller than the groove width of the two groove ends 52, and at this time, the groove width of the straight groove portion 51 is smaller than the groove width of the locking cap 4. Figure 1 The Z-direction dimension of the locking cap 4 is such that when the locking cap 4 slides in the straight groove portion 51, the locking cap 4 will generate a Figure 1 The locking cap 4 will produce a certain compression deformation in the Z direction, and when the locking cap 4 enters the two groove ends 52, the locking cap 4 can be restored and no longer needs compression deformation. At this time, when the locking cap 4 moves from the groove end 52 to the straight groove part 51, it is necessary to manually apply a certain toggle force to the lock buckle 2 so that the locking cap 4 can be deformed before entering the straight groove. Without this toggle force, the locking cap 4 cannot move naturally from the groove end 52 to the straight groove part 51. Therefore, the cooperation between the locking cap 4 and the two groove ends 52 of the locking groove 5 can limit the movement state of the lock buckle 2, thereby improving the accuracy of the lock buckle 2 movement to adjust the movement state of the ice detection arm 3.

[0060] In the third feasible implementation, the groove depth and groove width of the straight groove portion 51 are smaller than the groove depth and groove width of the two groove ends 52, and the locking cap 4 and the locking groove 5 have the matching conditions of the first and second implementations above at the same time. No further details will be given here.

[0061] In summary, regardless of which of the above situations is adopted for the cooperation between the locking cap 4 and the locking groove 5, the locking cap 4 needs to undergo a certain deformation when entering the straight groove portion 51 from the groove end 52 of the locking groove 5. Therefore, considering reducing the difficulty for the deformed locking groove 5 to enter the straight groove portion 51 from the groove end 52, the outer wall surface of the locking cap 4 adopted in this embodiment is a smoothly transitioning spherical surface or arc surface.

[0062] In this regard, taking an optional implementation situation as an example in combination with the accompanying drawings, the locking cap 4 adopts a frustum-shaped structure; and the outer diameter of the locking cap 4 along the groove depth direction of the locking groove 5 (i.e., Figure 1 the Y direction) gradually decreases. Here, considering that the locking cap 4 is fixed and its usage state in the two groove ends 52 is switched, therefore, preferably, a pair of groove ends 52 are symmetrically arranged to improve its adaptability to the same locking groove 5. Furthermore, based on the cooperation requirements with the frustum-shaped locking cap 4, a pair of groove ends 52 can both adopt cylindrical grooves.

[0063] In summary, for the opening and closing adjustment assembly of the ice checking arm 3 for an ice maker adopted in this embodiment: The lock 2 is used to lock the ice checking arm 3. When the lock 2 moves to the first extreme position (the first guiding groove 11 and the second guiding groove 12 correspond to the ON mark on the housing 1 of the ice maker) and is in the open state, the ice checking arm 3 is in the starting state and can perform ice checking. When the lock 2 moves to the second extreme position (the first guiding groove 11 and the second guiding groove 12 correspond to the OFF mark on the housing 1 of the ice maker) and is in the locked state, the ice checking arm 3 is in the locked state and can no longer perform the ice checking function. When the lock 2 moves to the two extreme positions as described above, through the sliding locking structure provided between the mating surface of the lock 2 and the housing 1 of the ice maker, during the process of the ice checking arm 3 being in the starting state for ice checking, the locking cap 4 is located in one groove end 52 of the locking groove 5, and the lock 2 will not exhibit unexpected movement relative to the housing 1 of the ice maker. Similarly, when the ice checking arm 3 is in the locked state and not performing ice checking, the locking cap 4 is located in the other groove end 52 of the locking groove 5, and the lock 2 will also not exhibit unexpected movement relative to the housing 1 of the ice maker. That is to say, the movement state of the lock 2 is limited by the cooperation between the locking cap 4 and the two groove ends 52 of the locking groove 5, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement of the lock 2 in adjusting the movement state of the ice checking arm 3.
