[0022] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the present utility model;

[0023] Figure 2 is a half-sectional view of the present utility model; Detailed Embodiments

[0024] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present utility model clearer, the following will further describe the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0025] An ice-making structure for improving ice-making efficiency includes an ice-making cavity 1, an evaporator 2 disposed in the ice-making cavity 1, a water scoop 3 disposed under the evaporator 2, and a motor 4 for driving the water scoop 3 to flip relative to the evaporator 2. The evaporator 2 includes a main body portion 21 and a plurality of ice-forming parts 22 disposed on the main body portion 21 at intervals. The water scoop 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a cavity 32 disposed on the rotating shaft 31 and corresponding to the ice-forming parts 22 one by one.

[0026] The present utility model provides an ice-making structure for improving ice-making efficiency. By using independent containers corresponding to the ice-forming parts one by one, the water storage amount is reduced, thereby improving the ice-making efficiency.

[0027] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, the axis center of the rotating shaft 31 is located outside the central axis of the ice-forming part 22, so that when the cavity 32 rotates, it can avoid the ice cubes on the ice-forming part 22. The flipping structure is simple and it is easy for the ice cubes to fall off.

[0028] 3. The ice-making structure for improving ice-making efficiency according to claim 1, wherein:

[0029] Point P, which is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 31;

[0030] Circle C, which takes point P as the center and is tangent to the innermost side wall of the cavity 32 that is farthest from the center of the circle;

[0031] Point M, which is located at the lower end of the ice-forming part 22 that is farthest from point P;

[0032] Point N, which is located on circle C and is on the same radius of circle C as point M;

[0033] The distance between point M and point N is L, and the thickness of the ice cubes on the ice-forming part 22 is less than or equal to L. The purpose is that when the water scoop rotates 90 degrees, the water scoop will leave the area of the ice-forming part, and the ice cubes will not be interfered by the water scoop when they fall from the ice-forming part. The flipping angle of the water scoop is smaller, the volume of the cavity wrapping the ice-forming part is smaller, and the smaller amount of water can improve the ice-making efficiency.

[0034] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, there is a notch 33 communicating the two cavities 32 between the two cavities 32. Water can be filled into each cavity by pouring water into the water scoop.

[0035] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, there is a connecting side wall 34 between the two cavities 32, and the notch 33 is provided at the top of the connecting side wall 34.

[0036] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, the cavity 32 includes an arc-shaped side wall 35 connected to the connecting side wall 34, and the arc-shaped side wall 35 gradually narrows towards the connecting side wall 34. Reducing the water storage capacity can increase the cooling efficiency.

[0037] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, the cavity 32 is U-shaped and gradually expands towards the opening direction.

[0038] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, the distance between the axis center of the rotating shaft 31 and the central axis of the ice-forming part 22 is greater than or equal to 5 cm.

[0039] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, the icing part 22 is cylindrical, the bottom is round-headed, and point M is located on the bottom.

[0040] The above are only the preferred embodiments of this application, and are not used to limit the scope of implementation of this application. Other principles and basic structures that are the same as or similar to this application are all within the protection scope of this application.
