[0027] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 The ice maker shown includes a housing 1 having a receiving chamber 2. The receiving chamber 2 includes an ice making assembly 3 and a heat dissipation assembly 4 connected to the ice making assembly 3. The ice making assembly 3 includes an ice making portion 31. The ice making portion 31 is provided with a connecting ear 311 for connecting to the heat dissipation assembly 4.

[0029] The utility model provides an ice-making part and a heat dissipation component on the accommodating cavity, and a connecting ear is provided on the ice-making part, and the ice-making part is connected to the heat dissipation component through the connecting ear, so that the ice-making component and the heat dissipation component can be stably connected. The connection between the connecting ear and the heat dissipation component is more firm than that of an adhesive, reducing the risk of connection failure due to environmental factors such as temperature or humidity, and effectively solving the problem that the ice-making component in the existing ice-making machine is generally connected to the heat dissipation component by an adhesive. However, due to the large temperature difference and high humidity during the ice-making process, the adhesive material is kept in an operating environment with a large temperature difference and high humidity for a long time. The adhesive material is easily lost its viscosity due to environmental factors, resulting in an unstable connection between the ice-making component and the heat dissipation component, which seriously affects the stable operation of the ice-making machine.

[0030] Furthermore, the setting in which the ice-making part 31 is connected to the heat dissipation component 4 through the connecting ear 311 is conducive to simplifying the installation and maintenance process. When the user needs to repair or replace parts, it can be disassembled and assembled more conveniently, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0031] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting ear 311 and the heat dissipation assembly 4 are snap-connected.

[0032] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting ear 311 and the heat dissipation assembly 4 are locked together.

[0033] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting ear 311 and the heat dissipation assembly 4 are connected via a slot.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the connecting ear 311 and the heat dissipation assembly 4 are threadedly connected.

[0035] Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the ice maker is cylindrical, its dimensions are 140-200 mm in height and 90-150 mm in diameter; or when the ice maker is polygonal, its dimensions are 160 mm in height, 105 mm in length, and 105 mm in width.

[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, a light-emitting strip for displaying the working status of the ice maker is provided on the shell 1. The light-emitting strip can intuitively display the working status of the ice maker, so that the user can understand the operating status of the ice maker through the luminous state of the light-emitting strip; secondly, the light-emitting strip can increase the visual appeal of the ice maker, which is conducive to improving the overall aesthetics of the ice maker.

[0037] Optionally, in some embodiments, the shell 1 is provided with a top cover 8 that is arranged on the periphery of the cover body 5. The top cover 8 is made of transparent material so that the user can directly observe the working status inside the ice maker from the outside of the ice maker, such as the ice formation process, water level or any possible abnormal conditions, which helps the user to discover problems and deal with them in time.

[0038] Optionally, in some embodiments, the top cover 8 is made of polycarbonate (PC) material. Polycarbonate (PC) material has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, high light transmittance and good weather resistance. It can resist external force impact such as hammering and is not easy to break.

[0039] Optionally, in some embodiments, the top cover 8 is made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) material. The polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) material has the characteristics of high transparency, good processing performance, strong weather resistance and light weight. It can withstand certain external forces and pressures, and has good light transmittance, which can clearly display the working status inside the ice maker.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the ice-making part 31 is provided with an insulation layer, and the insulation layer is made of EVA material or PU foam material. The setting of the insulation layer is beneficial to preventing heat loss and interference of the external environment on the ice-making process, thereby maximizing the insulation effect.

[0041] Specifically, the thermal insulation layer of EVA material can adapt to low temperature environment and will not become hard or brittle due to low temperature. The thermal insulation layer of EVA material can maintain good elasticity and flexibility, is easy to shape, and can fit tightly with various components of the ice maker to provide an effective sealing effect to prevent cold air from leaking. At the same time, the thermal insulation layer of EVA material has good thermal insulation performance and durability, reducing the need for maintenance and replacement, and can effectively reduce heat transfer, ensuring that the required low temperature environment is maintained inside the ice-making part, thereby improving ice-making efficiency.

[0042] Specifically, PU foam material is light, durable and has good moisture-proof properties. Its closed-cell structure can prevent air convection, slow down heat transfer, effectively isolate the temperature difference between inside and outside, maintain a low-temperature environment, and further reduce refrigeration energy consumption.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 7 The connecting ear 311 is shown as being integrally formed with the ice making portion 31;

[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, the connecting ear 311 and the ice-making portion 31 are detachably connected, and the connecting ear 311 and the ice-making portion 31 can be connected by a threaded connection, a snap connection, or a slot connection.

[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the connecting ear 311 and the ice-making part 31 are integrally formed. The integrally formed setting is conducive to ensuring that the connection between the connecting ear 311 and the ice-making part 31 is seamless, helps to enhance the structural strength of the connecting ear 311 and the ice-making part 31, and helps to reduce the risk of equipment failure due to loose or broken connection; secondly, since the connecting ear 311 and the ice-making part 31 are integrally formed, it is conducive to reducing the complexity and time of assembly, helping to simplify the production process, improve production efficiency, and at the same time, reduce production costs.

[0046] Specifically, there are several connecting ears 311, and the several connecting ears 311 can more evenly distribute the torque and stress generated during the ice-making process, thereby avoiding local deformation or breakage caused by excessive force on a single point, which is beneficial to improving the durability of the equipment.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 The connecting ear 311 is located on the outer wall of the ice-making portion 31 and is obliquely connected to the ice-making portion 31 to form a rounded corner;

[0048] Furthermore, the rounded corner setting can effectively reduce stress concentration at the connection between the connecting ear 311 and the ice-making part 31, effectively reducing structural damage or fatigue caused by excessive local stress. Compared with the right-angle connection, the stress distribution at the rounded corner is more uniform, thereby improving the overall durability.

[0049] Specifically, the cross section of the connecting ear 311 is rectangular, and the four corners of the connecting ear 311 are rounded.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 7 The ice making unit 31 shown includes a refrigeration element 32, the heat dissipation assembly 4 includes a heat dissipation portion 41 located near the refrigeration element 32, and the connecting ear 311 is provided with a connecting hole 3111 threadedly connected to the heat dissipation portion 41;

[0051] Furthermore, the threaded connection is conducive to providing a stable and reliable connection method, which can effectively prevent the connection between the connecting ear 311 and the heat dissipation part 41 from loosening or misalignment. Compared with other connection methods, the threaded connection has higher connection strength and torque transmission capacity, which is conducive to ensuring stability and reliability under long-term use.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments, insulating glue is provided between the refrigeration component 32 and the ice-making part 31, which is beneficial to improving the electrical safety of the ice maker. The insulating glue has good insulating properties and can effectively isolate the electrical connection between the refrigeration component 32 and the ice-making part 31, which is beneficial to reducing safety risks caused by electrical failures.

[0053] Specifically, the refrigeration element 32 is a PN junction, which has a cold end close to the ice-making part 31, a hot end close to the heat dissipation component 4, and a semiconductor located between the cold end and the hot end. In the ice maker, the PN junction serves as the refrigeration element 32, and its cold end directly participates in the ice-making process. Since the P-type and N-type junctions of the semiconductor material can effectively absorb heat from the ice-making part, it can be used to quickly cool and make ice cubes.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 7 The heat dissipation assembly 4 shown includes a heat conducting pipe 42 connected to the heat dissipation portion 41. The heat conducting pipe 42 includes a first heat conducting portion 421 arranged in a horizontal direction and a second heat conducting portion 422 arranged in a vertical direction and connected to the first heat conducting portion 421. The first heat conducting portion 421 and the second heat conducting portion 422 are connected at an angle and form a rounded corner.

[0055] Specifically, the heat dissipation assembly 4 also includes a fin assembly 43 connected to the heat pipe 42, and a heat dissipation fan 44. The fin assembly 43 includes a first fin assembly 431 and a second fin assembly 432 that are relatively arranged. The heat dissipation fan 44 is located between the first fin assembly 431 and the second fin assembly 432. The shell 1 is provided with an air outlet 12 corresponding to the air inlet and outlet direction of the heat dissipation fan 44.

[0056] Optionally, in some embodiments, the distance between the heat dissipation fan 44 and the first fin assembly 431 and the second fin assembly 432 is less than 100 mm.

[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments, the heat dissipation fan 44 is located between the first fin assembly 431 and the second fin assembly 432, and the heat dissipation effect of the fin assembly 43 can be improved by accelerating the air flow through wind force. The distance between the heat dissipation fan 44 and the fin assembly 43 is less than 100 mm, which helps to maximize the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fan 44.

[0058] Preferably, the distance between the heat dissipation fan 44 and the fin assembly 43 is between 2mm-10mm. Its compact layout ensures that the heat dissipation fan 44 can effectively accelerate the air flow, avoid heat accumulation between the fin assembly 43 and the heat dissipation fan 44, and thus accelerate heat dissipation.

[0059] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first fin assembly 431 and the second fin assembly 432 adopt a thin and wide design, which can increase the heat exchange area with the air and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. The first fin assembly 431 and the second fin assembly 432 are arranged relative to each other to form a more effective heat exchange structure.

[0060] Furthermore, the cross-section of the heat pipe 42 is in an inverted "L" shape, and the connection between the first heat conducting portion 421 and the second heat conducting portion 422 is rounded. Compared with the "C"-shaped setting of the traditional heat pipe 42, the inverted "L" shape can reduce the flow resistance inside the heat pipe 42, so that the hot air generated during the heat dissipation process can flow more smoothly, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of hot air transmission; secondly, the inverted "L"-shaped setting is conducive to reducing the required connection inflection points in the heat pipe 42. The reduction of inflection points also reduces random changes in the transmission path, which helps to maintain continuous heat flow and effectively reduce the accumulation or retention of hot air at the connection parts.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 7 The housing 1 is shown as having a cover 5 connected to the ice-making portion 31. The cover 5 includes an inclined surface 51 extending downward from top to bottom, an ice pouring surface 52 arranged horizontally and connected to the inclined surface 51, and an upper opening 53 located on the ice pouring surface 52 and communicating with the ice-making portion 31. The ice-making portion 31 includes an ice-making groove 312, the end surface of which is flush with the ice pouring surface 52.

[0062] Furthermore, the setting of the inclined surface 51 and the ice pouring surface 52 enables the user to easily align the ice cubes in the ice making groove 312 with the loading container, which is conducive to the ice cubes naturally sliding into the loading container under the action of gravity, helping to reduce the complexity of manual operation and effectively improve the convenience of ice retrieval.

[0063] Furthermore, the provision of the inclined surface 51 allows the ice cubes to slide directly into the loading container. Since there is no obvious vertical obstacle, it is helpful to improve the speed and efficiency of ice retrieval.

[0064] Optionally, in some embodiments, the ice-making portion 31 is provided with a plurality of ice-making grooves 312, which can increase the ice-making capacity of the ice-making portion 31 and accommodate ice cubes formed during the ice-making process, thereby improving ice-making efficiency. The number of ice-making grooves 312 can be 2, 4, 6, etc. Optionally, in some embodiments, the ice-making portion 31 is made of metal, and the ice-making grooves 312 are coated with a food-grade coating.

[0065] Optionally, in some embodiments, an arc surface is provided in the ice-making groove 312 to facilitate sliding of ice cubes when removing ice.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 7 The ice pouring surface 52 shown in the figure is provided with a locking protrusion 521 on one side close to the ice making portion 31, and the outer wall of the ice making portion 31 is provided with a locking groove 313 that is engaged with the locking protrusion 521;

[0067] Furthermore, the locking protrusion 521 and the locking groove 313 are arranged to engage with each other, so that the ice-making part 31 can be accurately positioned on the cover body 5, providing a stable connection between the ice-making part 31 and the cover body 5, which is beneficial to enhancing the stability of the connection between the ice-making part 31 and the cover body 5, and effectively avoiding functional disorders caused by loose components; secondly, during assembly and use, the arrangement of the locking protrusion 521 and the locking groove 313 can help users to align and connect various components more accurately, which is beneficial to reduce errors during fitting and effectively improve the reliability of component connections.

[0068] Specifically, the ice-making portion 31 extends from the inside to the outside in the cover body 5 to the upper opening 53 , and the snap-fit arrangement of the locking protrusion 521 and the locking groove 313 helps prevent the ice-making portion 31 from excessively extending toward the upper opening 53 .

[0069] like Figures 1 to 7 The cover 5 is provided with a connecting column 54 extending toward the heat dissipation assembly 4. There are multiple connecting columns 54. The heat dissipation assembly 4 is provided with a plug hole 411 that plugs into and cooperates with the connecting column 54.

[0070] Furthermore, the cooperation between the connecting column 54 and the plug hole 411 is conducive to providing a more stable connection method, effectively ensuring a stable connection between the cover 5 and the heat dissipation component 4, and helping to reduce the loosening of the component due to vibration or other factors.

[0071] Furthermore, the provision of multiple connecting columns 54 can effectively disperse the pressure applied to the heat dissipation component 4, which is beneficial to reducing local stress concentration that may be caused by single-point connection, helps to protect components, and effectively extends the service life of the equipment.

[0072] Specifically, the plug holes 411 are located in the heat dissipation portion 41 . There are four connecting columns 54 and four plug holes 411 . The cross section of the heat dissipation portion 41 is rectangular. The four plug holes 411 are respectively located at the four corners of the heat dissipation portion 41 .

[0073] like Figures 1 to 7 A connector 6 is provided between the cover 5 and the housing 1 , and the cover 5 is connected to the housing 1 via the connector 6 ;

[0074] Furthermore, the provision of the connector 6 can ensure that the connection between the cover 5 and the shell 1 is more firm and stable, which is beneficial to prevent loosening or damage caused by vibration or external impact, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire structure; secondly, the connector 6 can disperse the pressure between the cover and the shell, prevent damage caused by excessive force at a single point, and help extend the service life of the equipment.

[0075] Furthermore, the provision of the connector 6 enables the cover 5 to be conveniently connected to the housing 1 without the need for complicated welding, bolting or other fixing methods, thereby simplifying the assembly process and effectively improving production efficiency.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 7 The cover 5 is provided with a first buckle portion 71 for connecting to the connector 6, the connector 6 is provided with a second buckle portion 61, and the housing 1 is provided with a slot 11 for buckling with the second buckle portion 61;

[0077] The cover body 5 is further provided with a positioning hole 72, and the connector 6 is provided with a positioning protrusion 73 that plugs into and fits with the positioning hole 72;

[0078] Specifically, the cross-section of the connector 6 is rectangular, and the four corners of the connector 6 are rounded. The second snap-fitting portions 61 are spaced apart on the three sides of the connector 6, and the positioning protrusion 73 is provided on one side of the connector 6. The positioning protrusion 73 and the positioning hole 72 are plugged together to enable the user to easily find the correct installation position. The connector 6 is clamped on the cover body 5 through the first snap-fitting portion 71 on the cover body 5, and the several second snap-fitting portions 61 on the connector 6 are snap-fitted with the several slots 11 located on the inner wall of the shell 1, so that the cover body 5 is connected to the shell 1 through the connector 6.

[0079] Furthermore, the cooperation between the second snap-fit portion 61 and the slot 11 facilitates providing a stable connection, effectively ensuring a firm connection between the connector 6 and the housing 1 , and effectively reducing equipment failures caused by looseness or movement.

[0080] Furthermore, the setting of the positioning hole 72 and the positioning protrusion 73 ensures the alignment and assembly accuracy of the cover body 5 and the connector 6. Through the setting of plug-in fit, it is helpful to ensure the precise fit and fixation between the cover body 5 and the connector 6, which helps to improve the accuracy and stability of the overall structure.

[0081] The implementation of this embodiment is as follows:

[0082] The ice maker is provided with a shell 1, which is provided with a accommodating chamber 2. The accommodating chamber 2 is provided with an ice making assembly 3 and a heat dissipation assembly 4. The ice making assembly 3 includes an ice making part 31 and a refrigeration element 32. The ice making part 31 includes a connecting ear 311. The connecting ear 311 is integrally formed with the ice making part 31. The heat dissipation assembly 4 includes a heat dissipation part 41 located on a side close to the refrigeration element 32. The connecting ear 311 is threadedly connected to the heat dissipation part 41 so that the ice making assembly 3 can be stably connected to the heat dissipation assembly 4. The threaded connection between the connecting ear 311 and the heat dissipation part 41 is more stable than that of an adhesive material, reducing the risk of connection failure due to environmental factors such as temperature or humidity. It effectively solves the problem that the refrigeration elements in the existing ice maker are generally connected to the ice making part and the heat dissipation assembly respectively using adhesive materials. However, due to the large temperature difference and high humidity during the ice making process, the adhesive material is exposed to the operating environment with large temperature difference and high humidity for a long time. The adhesive material is easily lost its viscosity due to environmental factors, resulting in unstable connection between the refrigeration element and the ice making part and the heat dissipation assembly, which seriously affects the stable operation of the ice maker. The shell 1 is provided with a cover body 5 connected to the ice making part 31. The cover body 5 includes an inclined surface 51, an ice pouring surface 52, and an upper opening 53 located on the ice pouring surface 52 and communicated with the ice making part 31. The ice making part 31 includes an ice making groove 312 communicated with the upper opening 53. The setting of the inclined surface 51 and the ice pouring surface 52 enables the user to easily align the ice cubes in the ice making groove 312 with the loading container, which is conducive to the ice cubes naturally sliding into the loading container under the action of gravity, helping to reduce the complexity of manual operation and effectively improve the convenience of taking ice.

[0083] The above examples are merely used to further illustrate the technical content of the present invention for easier understanding by the reader. However, they do not limit the implementation of the present invention to these examples. Any technical extension or reinvention based on the present invention is protected by the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
