Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application.

[0017] Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0019] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0020] The following will be described with reference toFigures 1-5 A quick-disassembly and assembly fixing structure for an ice maker according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0021] A quick-disassembly and assembly-mounting structure for an ice maker includes a bracket 1 and an ice maker 2. The bracket 1 is frame-shaped and includes a shelf mounting seat 12 and a main frame side panel 10. The shelf mounting seat 12 is composed of a set of front and rear clamping grooves and a shelf support plate on both sides. The glass shelves of the refrigerator are inserted into the clamping grooves and fixed. The shelf support plates rest on the shelf bars of the refrigerator body, thereby allowing the bracket and the glass shelves to be installed in the body. Symmetrical guide rails 11 are provided on the opposite inner sides of the left and right main frame side panels 10. These guide rails are used to allow the ice maker to enter the interior of the bracket. In this application, the direction of movement of the ice maker into the interior of the bracket is defined as the front end, and the direction opposite to the front end is defined as the rear end. Four guide blocks are provided on the outside of the ice maker housing. The guide blocks are in the form of two steps, two on each side. The guide block at the front end is the first guide block 4. The first guide blocks 4 on both sides are connected to the spring clip 6. The spring clip 6, the guide blocks, and the ice maker body are integrally injection molded. The bracket 1 has a groove on its inner side. This groove is an asymmetrical U-shaped structure with an open rear end. The guide block enters the groove from this rear opening and is restrained at the bottom of the U. The number and location of the grooves correspond to the guide block's positioning within the bracket. The grooves are located above the guide rail 11. The front groove is the first groove 3. The guide rail 11 has a three-section structure: a sloped section, a forward section, and a stop section. The sloped section is roughly the same length as the distance between the two grooves on the same side. The stop section is higher than the forward section, effectively preventing the ice maker from accidentally falling out. A protrusion 5 is provided at the opening of the first groove 3 to prevent the ice maker from sliding out of the first groove. The guide block on the outside of the ice maker first passes over the stop section of the guide rail 11 and then moves forward along the forward section. After the front end of the ice maker slides onto the sloped section, the height of the front and rear guide blocks rises. Continued translation allows the main body and spring of the first guide block 4 to enter the first groove 3. At this point, the guide block at the rear of the ice maker also enters the groove at the rear end of the bracket. The grooves can limit its displacement up and down and left and right, so that the ice maker can be firmly installed on the bracket. The installation does not require screws and can be completed by hand, saving time and screw material costs.

[0022] When the ice maker needs to be removed, it is only necessary to press the spring piece 6 to release it from the constraint of the protrusion 5, and then push the ice maker from the rear end to the rear end.

[0023] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
