Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to an ice-making device and a water dispenser. Background Art

The ice-making module is arranged in the refrigeration area. The ice-making module includes an ice-making box. However, after taking out ice from the existing water dispenser, the ice-making box needs to be taken out and the ice cubes in the ice-making box need to be refilled with water. This makes the ice-making operation cumbersome and the efficiency of the water-replenishing operation low, which reduces the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an ice-making device, comprising:

[0005] An ice-making box and a quantitative dispenser, wherein the quantitative dispenser has a water storage chamber, and the quantitative dispenser is connected to the ice-making box and a water source. The ice-making box has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the ice-making box makes ice, the ice-making box is connected to the water storage chamber, and the water storage chamber is disconnected from the water source; in the second state, the ice-making box is flipped over to take ice, the water storage chamber is connected to the water source, and the water storage chamber is disconnected from the ice-making box.

[0006] In some embodiments, the ice-making device includes a water inlet valve, which is respectively connected to the water source, the quantitative dispenser, and the ice-making box; the water inlet valve has a first connection state and a second connection state. In the first connection state, the water inlet valve connects the water source and the water storage chamber, and the ice-making box is disconnected from the water inlet valve; in the second connection state, the water inlet valve connects the ice-making box and the water storage chamber, and the water source is disconnected from the water inlet valve.

[0007] When the ice-making box is in the first state, the water inlet valve is in the first communication state; and when the ice-making box is in the second state, the water inlet valve is in the second communication state.

[0008] In some embodiments, the water inlet valve includes a valve body, a stator valve core, a rotor valve core, and a rotating rod. The valve body has a diversion chamber, and the valve body is provided with a water inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The water inlet is connected to the water source, the first outlet is connected to the ice box, and the second outlet is connected to the water storage chamber. The stator valve core is fixed at the water inlet, the stator valve core has a notch, the rotor valve core abuts against the stator valve core, and a sealing protrusion is provided to adapt to the notch. One end of the rotating rod is provided with a sealing structure, and the sealing structure is clamped to the rotor valve core. The rotor valve core is driven to rotate by rotating the rotating rod, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the notch.

[0009] When the ice-making box is in the second state, the notch is connected to the second outlet, and the sealing structure seals the first outlet. When the ice-making box is in the first state, the sealing structure avoids the first outlet and the second outlet, the notch is closed, and the second outlet is connected to the first outlet.

[0010] In some embodiments, the ice-making device includes an ice-taking assembly, which includes a mounting seat and a knob. One end of the mounting seat is provided with an opening, and the other end is provided with a movable hole. The knob is rotatably mounted on the opening. The front and rear ends of the ice-making box are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is fixedly inserted into the knob, and the second rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the movable hole. The second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the knob is used to control the state switching of the ice-making box.

[0011] In some embodiments, the ice-removing assembly includes a return spring, which is installed on the inner wall of the mounting seat and located at the movable hole. The second rotating shaft passes through the shaft hole of the return spring. When the ice-making box is in the first state, the return spring is in an extended state. When the ice-making box is in the second state, the return spring is in a compressed state.

[0012] In some embodiments, the ice box is made of elastic material, and a first limiting column and a second limiting column are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the ice box, and the mounting seat is provided with a blocking portion, and the first limiting column and the second limiting column are used to abut the blocking portion. In the axial direction of the first rotating shaft, the angle between the first limiting column and the blocking portion is less than or equal to 60 degrees, and the angle between the second limiting column and the blocking portion is less than or equal to 180 degrees. When the first limiting column abuts against the blocking portion, the ice box is twisted and deformed to cause the ice cubes in the ice box to detach from the ice box.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are multiple ice-making boxes, which are spaced apart from each other, and the water storage chambers of the quantitative dispenser are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the ice-making boxes.

[0014] In some embodiments, the volume of the water storage chamber is the same as the volume of the ice making box.

[0015] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a water dispenser, comprising the ice-making device as described above.

[0017] In the embodiment of the present application, the water storage chamber is used to store water introduced from a water source. The water storage chamber can replenish the stored water into the ice box for the ice box to make ice. In the first state, the water storage chamber is disconnected from the water source and connected to the ice box. The water storage chamber first replenishes water into the ice box. After the ice box makes ice from the water, when ice needs to be taken out, the ice box is controlled to change to the second state. The ice box flips over to pour out the ice cubes. At this time, water from the water source can be replenished into the water storage chamber. Since the water storage chamber is disconnected from the ice box, water will not directly enter the ice box. When the ice box flips back to its original position, the water in the water storage chamber can enter the ice box for replenishment. This arrangement can optimize the water replenishment operation of the ice box. There is no need to take the ice box out of the ice making area to replenish water, so as to improve the efficiency of the water replenishment operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

The following description is given to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present application. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the present application can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present application with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0039] On the one hand, if Figures 1 to 14 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an ice-making device, including an ice box 1 and a quantitative dispenser 4, the quantitative dispenser 4 having a water storage chamber 41, the quantitative dispenser 4 being connected to the ice box 1 and a water source, and the ice box 1 having a first state and a second state. In the first state, the ice box 1 makes ice, the ice box 1 is connected to the water storage chamber 41, and the water storage chamber 41 is disconnected from the water source; in the second state, the ice box 1 is flipped over to take ice, the water storage chamber 41 is connected to the water source, and the water storage chamber 41 is disconnected from the ice box 1.

[0040] When the ice box 1 is turned back to its original position, the water in the water storage chamber 41 can enter the ice box 1 for water replenishment. This arrangement can optimize the water replenishment operation of the ice box 1. There is no need to take the ice box 1 out of the ice making area to replenish water, so as to improve the efficiency of the water replenishment operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0041] The ice box 1 is provided with ice trays 11 for holding water. The number of ice trays 11 is set according to actual needs. After the ice trays 11 are filled with water, the water in each ice tray 11 can be turned into ice cubes through refrigeration.

[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 13 As shown, the ice-making device includes a water inlet valve 3, which is respectively connected to a water source, a quantitative dispenser 4, and an ice-making box 1; the water inlet valve 3 has a first connection state and a second connection state. In the first connection state, the water inlet valve 3 connects the water source and the water storage chamber 41, and the connection between the ice-making box 1 and the water inlet valve 3 is disconnected; in the second connection state, the water inlet valve 3 connects the ice-making box 1 and the water storage chamber 41, and the connection between the water source and the water inlet valve 3 is disconnected;

[0043] When the ice-making box 1 is in the first state, the water inlet valve 3 is in the first communication state; when the ice-making box 1 is in the second state, the water inlet valve 3 is in the second communication state.

[0044] Specifically, when ice is being taken, the water inlet valve 3 is in the first connected state, and the water inlet valve 3 is used to introduce water into the water storage chamber 41. After the ice is taken, the water inlet valve 3 is converted to the second connected state. At this time, the water in the water storage chamber 41 will be replenished into the ice making box 1, and the water at the water source will not enter the water storage chamber 41. In this way, by adapting the connection state of the water inlet valve 3 to the state of the ice making box 1, automatic water replenishment is achieved after the ice is taken, reducing the operation of taking out the ice making box 1 for water replenishment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the water inlet valve 3 includes a valve body 31, a stator valve core 32, a rotor valve core 33 and a rotating rod 37. The valve body 31 has a diversion chamber, and is provided with a water inlet 34, a first outlet 35 and a second outlet 36. The water inlet 34 is connected to the water source, the first outlet 35 is connected to the ice box 1, and the second outlet 36 is connected to the water storage chamber 41. The stator valve core 32 is fixed to the water inlet 34, and the stator valve core 32 has a notch 32a. The rotor valve core 33 abuts against the stator valve core 32, and a sealing protrusion is provided to adapt to the notch 32a. One end of the rotating rod 37 is provided with a sealing structure 37a, which is clamped to the rotor valve core 33. By rotating the rotating rod 37, the rotor valve core 33 is driven to rotate, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the notch 32a.

[0046] When the ice making box 1 is in the second state, the gap 32a is connected to the second outlet 36, and the sealing structure 37a seals the first outlet 35. When the ice making box 1 is in the first state, the sealing structure 37a avoids the first outlet 35 and the second outlet 36, the gap 32a is closed, and the second outlet 36 is connected to the first outlet 35.

[0047] Specifically, the diversion chamber of the valve body 31 is connected to the ice making box 1, the water storage chamber 41 and the water source respectively. A stator valve core 32 is provided on the side of the diversion chamber near the water inlet 34. A notch 32a is provided on the stator valve core 32 for water circulation. A rotor valve core 33 is adapted to the stator valve core 32. The rotor valve core 33 is rotatable relative to the stator valve core 32 to seal and close the notch 32a or open the notch 32a. The rotor valve core 33 is controlled by a rotating rod 37. A sealing structure 37a is provided on the side of the rotating rod 37 away from the rotor valve core 33. The sealing structure 37a is used to seal the other half of the diversion chamber, that is, when the rotating rod 37 rotates, it can control the opening or closing of the first outlet 35 and the second outlet 36. When ice is falling, the notch 32a and the second outlet 36 are connected, and water directly enters the water storage chamber 41. When the ice making box 1 returns to its original position, the first outlet 35 and the second outlet 36 are connected, the notch 32a is closed, and water directly enters the ice making box 1. This arrangement can control two different flow paths through one water inlet valve 3, has a compact structure and is easy to control, and does not take up too much installation space to arrange independent pipelines.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the ice-making device includes an ice-taking assembly, which includes a mounting base 2 and a knob 12. One end of the mounting base 2 is provided with an opening 21, and the other end is provided with a movable hole 22. The knob 12 is rotatably mounted on the opening 21. The front and rear ends of the ice-making box 1 are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 13 and a second rotating shaft 14. The first rotating shaft 13 is fixedly inserted into the knob 12, and the second rotating shaft 14 is rotatably inserted into the movable hole 22. The second rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 37. The knob 12 is used to control the state switching of the ice-making box 1.

[0049] Specifically, the opening 21 is precisely adapted to accommodate the installation of the knob 12. The second rotating shaft 14 passes through the movable hole 22 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 37. This means that the knob 12 controls the ice-discharging of the ice-making box 1 while simultaneously switching the connection state of the water inlet valve 3, thereby simultaneously discharging ice and storing water. After the ice is removed, the knob 12 returns to its original position, at which point it can drive the rotating rod 37 to rotate, allowing the ice-making box 1 to be immediately refilled with water after the ice is removed. This arrangement synchronizes the operations and improves user convenience. The second rotating shaft 14 is provided with a blind hole extending axially along the second rotating shaft 14. The blind hole is provided with an internal thread. One end of the rotating rod 37 is provided with an external thread. The rotating rod 37 is inserted into the blind hole and screwed thereto. In other embodiments, the second rotating shaft 14 and the rotating rod 37 are integrally formed, and the second rotating shaft 14 is detachably connected to the ice-making box 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, the ice removal assembly includes a return spring 15, which is installed on the inner wall of the mounting base 2 and is located at the movable hole 22. The second rotating shaft 14 is passed through the shaft hole of the return spring 15. When the ice box 1 is in the first state, the return spring 15 is in an extended state. When the ice box 1 is in the second state, the return spring 15 is in a compressed state.

[0051] Specifically, the return spring 15 is arranged on the side away from the knob 12, one end of the return spring 15 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting base 2, and the other end is fixed to the ice box 1. The axial hole of the return spring 15 is concentrically arranged with the movable hole 22, and the second rotating shaft 14 passes through the axial hole of the return spring 15 and is inserted into the movable hole 22. When the ice box 1 is in the first state, the return spring 15 is in an extended state, which can keep the ice box 1 stable and not rotate. After rotating the knob 12, the ice box 1 can be switched to the second state. At this time, the return spring 15 is compressed to provide the ice box 1 with a reset force, so that the ice box 1 has a tendency to rotate back to the first state. With this arrangement, the ice box 1 can automatically reset, preventing the ice box 1 from being unable to be replenished with water due to operational errors and forgetting to reset, thereby improving operational convenience and user experience.

[0052] In some embodiments, the ice box 1 is made of elastic material, and a first limiting column 16 and a second limiting column 17 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the ice box 1. The mounting seat 2 is provided with a blocking portion 23. The first limiting column 16 and the second limiting column 17 are used to abut the blocking portion 23. In the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 13, the angle between the first limiting column 16 and the blocking portion 23 is less than or equal to 60 degrees, and the angle between the second limiting column 17 and the blocking portion 23 is less than or equal to 180 degrees. When the first limiting column 16 abuts against the blocking portion 23, the ice box 1 is twisted and deformed to allow the ice cubes in the ice box 1 to detach from the ice box 1.

[0053] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the material of the ice box 1 is PP plastic, which can make the ice box 1 have good elasticity. The blocking portion 23 can be the edge position of the mounting base 2, or it can be an additional structure provided on the mounting base 2. When the ice is needed, the knob 12 is first rotated. At this time, the front and rear of the ice box 1 are flipped together. The first limiting post 16 of the ice box 1 is rotated to a certain angle and will first stop at the blocking portion 23. With the middle position of the ice box 1 as the center, the other end of the ice box 1 can continue to rotate. The ice box 1 will twist, thereby deforming each ice tray 11 to squeeze the ice cubes in the ice tray 11 outward. The rotation range of the second limiting post 17 is greater than that of the first limiting post 16. The rotation angle of the first limiting post 16 is 60 degrees, and the rotation angle of the second limiting post 17 is 180 degrees. This arrangement can facilitate the ice-taking operation of the ice box 1, making it more convenient for users to take ice and improving the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, a plurality of ice making boxes 1 are provided, and the plurality of ice making boxes 1 are arranged at intervals from each other, and the water storage chambers 41 of the quantitative distributor 4 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the ice making boxes 1 .

[0055] Specifically, increasing the number of ice boxes 1 increases the amount of ice produced, meeting the ice-making needs of different users and improving universality. Each ice box 1 independently controls ice loading via a knob 12, and the water storage chamber 41 is also provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of ice boxes 1, so that each knob 12 independently controls the corresponding ice box 1 to replenish water. In this embodiment, three ice boxes 1 are provided, and the three ice boxes 1 are spaced and arranged side by side in the left and right directions of the water dispenser. This arrangement ensures that operations such as replenishing water and taking ice from each ice box 1 do not interfere with each other. In other embodiments, the ice box 1 is provided with multiple columns of ice trays 11.

[0056] In some embodiments, the volume of the water storage chamber 41 is the same as the volume of the ice making box 1 .

[0057] Specifically, the volume of the water storage chamber 41 is set to the same size as the volume of the ice box 1. This ensures that each time the water storage chamber 41 is filled with water, when the ice box 1 is completely empty, the water in the water storage chamber 41 can fill the ice box 1 at once. The water output from the water storage chamber 41 to the ice box 1 will not be too much or too little. Even if the water in the ice box 1 overflows, the water can drip into the freezing space 51a and will not leak outside. This configuration can replenish water to the ice box 1 in a quantitative manner without wasting resources. In other embodiments, the volume of the water storage chamber 41 is larger than the volume of the ice box 1.

[0058] The ice-making device of the embodiment of the present application can be used in a water dispenser or a refrigerator with a water drinking function.

[0059] On the other hand, Figures 11 to 14 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a water dispenser, comprising the ice-making device as described above.

[0060] Specifically, the water dispenser includes an outer shell 5 and a water inlet. The ice-making device is arranged in the outer shell 5. A concave water inlet is provided on the top of the outer shell 5. The water inlet is for inserting bottled water. The bottled water is the water source. The water in the bottled water can enter the ice-making box 1 of the ice-making device through the distribution of the quantitative dispenser 4.

[0061] In some embodiments, the water dispenser includes an inner tank 51, a cold water tank 52 and a refrigeration system. The inner tank 51 has a refrigerated space 51b and a frozen space 51a. The ice box 1 can be movably installed in the frozen space 51a. The cold water tank 52 is connected to the quantitative dispenser 4. The refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, a freezing evaporator, a refrigerated evaporator and a cold water evaporator which are connected in sequence to form a loop. The freezing evaporator and the freezing space 51a are correspondingly arranged, the refrigerated evaporator and the refrigerated space 51b are correspondingly arranged, and the cold water evaporator and the cold water tank 52 are correspondingly arranged.

[0062] Specifically, the cold water tank 52 is connected to the water inlet, and is provided with a drinking cold water outlet and a refrigerator cold water outlet on the cold water tank 52. The refrigerator cold water outlet is connected to the quantitative dispenser 4. The water dispenser also includes a hot water tank. The cold water tank 52 is also connected to the hot water tank through a pipeline. The hot water tank can heat water and output it to the outside. The cold water evaporator in the ice making system is arranged around the outer wall of the cold water tank 52 to cool the water in the cold water tank 52. Since ice making requires a lower temperature, the freezing evaporator is arranged upstream of the refrigeration system. In this way, more refrigerant that has not been heat exchanged can be used to exchange heat with the freezing space 51a. The refrigerated space 51b requires slightly less cooling capacity for cooling, so less refrigerant is required. The cold water tank 52 requires the least refrigerant for cooling.

[0063] The freezing space 51a is provided with a layered shelf 24 and an ice storage box 25. The layered shelf 24 is provided with an ice making layer and an ice storage layer distributed up and down. The ice making box 1 can be movably installed on the ice making layer, and the ice storage box 25 can be movably installed on the ice storage layer. The ice storage box 25 is used to receive and store ice cubes dropped from the ice making box 1.

[0064] The ice-making device further includes thermal insulation foam, which is provided with a receiving cavity. The inner liner 51 is plugged into the receiving cavity, and the thermal insulation foam is installed in the outer shell 5 of the water dispenser.

[0065] The ice-making device and water dispenser provided in the embodiments of the present application are introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
