[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1:

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an ice-making device includes an ice box 1 and an ice mold 2. The ice box 1 is provided with a box opening 3, and the ice mold 2 is detachably fastened to the box opening 3. The ice mold 2 is made of an integral aluminum material, and an ice mold cavity 201 is provided on the bottom surface of the ice mold 2. A heating element module 4 is provided on the top surface of the ice mold 2, and an electrical socket 5 is provided on the heating element module 4.

[0030] This ice making device uses a heating plate to heat the ice making mold 2, which can realize the rapid demoulding of ice cubes; the ice making mold 2 is made of aluminum so that the food has no odor and meets food grade requirements.

[0031] In this embodiment, the heating element module 4 is fixedly connected to the ice-making mold 2, while in other embodiments, the heating element module 4 is detachably placed on the top surface of the ice-making mold 2, so that the ice-making mold 2 can be placed alone in the refrigerator for ice making, reducing the impact of low temperature on the heating element module 4.

[0032] The heating element module 4 includes a heating plate 41 and a plastic protective cover 42. The plastic protective cover 42 is connected to the top surface of the ice-making mold 2 and encloses and defines a protective cavity A. The heating plate 41 is placed in the protective cavity A and flatly adheres to the top surface of the ice-making mold 2. The power socket 5 is fixed on the plastic protective cover 42 and electrically connected to the heating plate 41.

[0033] After the entire ice-making mold 2 is poured with food (pure water, milk or other food and beverages), it is placed in the refrigerator for freezing. After the ice cubes are formed, they are taken out and placed on the ice box 1 for heating and de-icing. The plastic protective cover 42 can protect the heating plate 41 installed on the ice-making mold 2, and has waterproof, dustproof and collision-proof functions.

[0034] In more embodiments, the heating sheet 41 can also be replaced by a heating tube, a heating film, or a heating wire, and fixed to the ice-making mold 2 by screw fastening, gluing, snap fastening, etc.

[0035] The ice box 1 is provided with a stop convex portion 72 along the outer periphery of the box opening. The ice making mold 2 is supported on the top edge of the ice box 1 and positioned within the stop convex portion 72. A pair of stop convex portions 72 are provided with avoidance notches 73. The corresponding side edges of the ice making mold 2 are extended with lifting ears 21 that cooperate with the avoidance notches 73.

[0036] The ice-making mold 2 can be quickly positioned and placed on the upper side of the ice box 1. Since the ice-making mold 2 is made of metal material, it is easy for the user to slip when lifting it. Therefore, the lifting ears 21 make it easy for the user to lift and place the ice-making mold 2 from the ice box 1, which is easy to operate and has an anti-slip effect.

[0037] The heating sheet 41 is flatly laid on 70% or more of the top surface of the ice-making mold 2, so that the entire ice-making mold 2 can be heated evenly and ice cubes at all positions can be smoothly detached. In this embodiment, the laying area is preferably more than 90%.

[0038] It also includes a power adapter 8, one end of the power adapter 8 is provided with a plug 81, and the other end is provided with a power supply interface 82 coupled to the power socket 5; the power adapter 8 can be separated from the heating element module 4, and does not need to be placed in the refrigerator for freezing when making ice, and provides power to the heating element module 4 when defrosting.

[0039] The bottom surface of the ice-making mold 2 is provided with a plurality of regularly shaped ice-making mold cavities 201, which are arranged in a matrix on the ice-making mold 2; the shapes of the ice-making mold cavities 201 include one or a combination of square, circular, food pattern, plant pattern, animal pattern, or two or more thereof;

[0040] The ice making device can be equipped with one or more ice making molds 2, wherein the ice making mold cavity 201 of one ice making mold 2 is a conventional square (see Figure 3 As shown), for making conventional ice cubes, the ice-making mold cavity 201 of the other ice-making mold 2 can be one or a combination of two or more of a food pattern, a plant pattern, and an animal pattern (see Figure 4 ), thereby making patterned ice cubes. Example 2:

[0041] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that: Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the ice box 1 includes a double-layer box body, which is connected in one piece or is split, and an insulation layer B is formed between the double-layer box bodies; the ice box 1 can be made into two or more layers, and the two or more layers have good heat preservation effects. After the ice cubes are formed, the multi-layer storage time is longer.

[0042] Specifically, the double-layer box body includes an outer box body 6 and an inner box body 7 of matching shapes. The inner cavity of the inner box body 7 forms an ice-filling cavity C. The inner box body 7 is detachably embedded in the outer box body 6, and an insulating layer B is formed between the inner box body 7 and the outer box body 6 to surround the inner box body 7 and the bottom. The insulating layer B can surround the ice-filling cavity C, thereby improving the thermal insulation effect.

[0043] The top edge of the outer box body 6 is provided with a circumferential inner lap 61, and the inner lap 61 surrounds a positioning opening 62 that matches the shape of the inner box body 7. The top of the inner box body 7 is provided with a supporting flange 71 that rests on the inner lap 61. The inner box body 7 is suspended in the middle of the inner cavity of the outer box body 6 through the positioning opening 62 and the supporting flange 71; the positioning opening 62 can limit the inner box body 7 to be in the center position in the horizontal direction to form a heat-insulating layer B all around, and the supporting flange 71 can lift the inner box body 7, thereby forming a heat-insulating layer B at the bottom. Example 3:

[0044] The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that: Figure 7 As shown, the heating element module 4 is detachably placed on the top surface of the ice-making mold 2;

[0045] Among them, in addition to the heating sheet 41 and plastic protective cover 42 included in Example 1, the heating element module 4 also includes a heat conducting plate 43 made of aluminum or copper. The heat conducting plate 43 is connected to the bottom of the plastic protective cover 42 and encloses and defines a protective cavity A. The heating sheet 41 is placed in the protective cavity A and is flatly attached to the top surface of the heat conducting plate 43. Example 4:

[0046] In Example 4, see Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a power supply base 9, and the heating element module 4 is provided with an upper connector 10 electrically connected to the heating plate 41. The power supply base 9 is provided with a lower connector 91 corresponding to the upper connector 10, and the lower connector 91 is electrically connected to the power supply. When in use, after the popsicle is formed and taken out of the refrigerator, the ice-making device is placed on one side of the power supply base 9 so that the protruding upper connector 10 and the lower connector 91 are coupled, thereby supplying power to the heating plate 41.

[0047] The power source may be the power adapter 8 in the first embodiment (in this case, the power socket 5 is provided on the power supply base 9 ), or the battery 11 built into the power supply base 9 .
