DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides an ice making machine, comprising:

[0034] A first ice-making mold 100 is provided with an ice-pushing rod 102;

[0035] a second ice-making mold 104, wherein a connecting shaft 106 is provided on the second ice-making mold 104, and the second ice-making mold 104 is adapted to switch between a contact position and a separation position relative to the first ice-making mold 100;

[0036] Drive assembly 108;

[0037] The transmission assembly includes a first connecting rod 110 and a second connecting rod 112. The first connecting rod 110 is transmission-connected to the driving assembly 108 and the connecting shaft 106. The connecting shaft 106 is movably inserted into the second connecting rod 112. The first end of the second connecting rod 112 is transmission-connected to the ice-pushing rod 102. The second end of the second connecting rod 112 is provided with a pressure rod 114. The pressure rod 114 is provided with an elastic buffer 116. From the fitting position to the separation position, the first connecting rod 110 is suitable for driving the connecting shaft 106 to move along the length direction of the second connecting rod 112 so that the connecting shaft 106 is tightly pressed against the pressure rod 114. The second connecting rod 112 is suitable for driving at least part of the ice-pushing rod 102 to extend into the first ice-making mold 100.

[0038] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the ice-making machine provided by the drive assembly 108 and the transmission assembly is configured so that the power output by the drive assembly 108 can be transmitted to the connecting shaft 106 on the second ice-making mold 104 through the transmission assembly. The movement of the connecting shaft 106 can drive the second ice-making mold 104 to move relative to the first ice-making mold 100. During the movement of the connecting shaft 106, the connecting shaft 106 can also drive the movement of the second connecting rod 112, so that the second connecting rod 112 can drive the ice-pushing rod 102 to move synchronously to complete the ice-pushing operation. When the ice-pushing rod 102 encounters relatively large resistance, the energy stored in the elastic buffer 116 can also enable the ice-pushing rod 102 to complete the ice-pushing operation with a relatively large thrust when the ice cube separates from the first ice-making mold 100. Furthermore, the elastic buffer 116 mounted on the pressure rod 114 of the second connecting rod 112 can effectively reduce the impact and noise that may be generated during the operation, not only improving the user comfort of the ice-making machine but also extending the service life of the device.

[0039] Please continue to see Figures 1 to 5 The ice making machine of the present invention mainly includes four key parts: a first ice making mold 100, a second ice making mold 104, a driving assembly 108 and a transmission assembly.

[0040] An ice pushing rod 102 is provided on the first ice making mold 100. The function of the ice pushing rod 102 is to help push the ice cubes out of the first ice making mold 100 after the ice cubes are formed.

[0041] The second ice mold 104 is used in conjunction with the first ice mold 100. A connecting shaft 106 is provided on the second ice mold 104, allowing the second ice mold 104 to switch between a contact position and a separate position relative to the first ice mold 100. In the contact position, the first and second ice molds 100, 104 are in close contact, allowing ice cubes to be produced. In the separate position, the first and second ice molds 100, 104 are separated, allowing the ice pusher 102 to push ice cubes out of the first ice mold 100.

[0042] The driving assembly 108 is used to provide the necessary force to drive the transmission assembly, thereby achieving the purpose of moving the second ice-making mold 104 relative to the first ice-making mold 100.

[0043] The transmission assembly includes a first connecting rod 110 and a second connecting rod 112. The first connecting rod 110 is in transmission connection with the drive assembly 108 and the connecting shaft 106. When the drive assembly 108 is activated, the drive assembly 108 drives the connecting shaft 106 via the first connecting rod 110. The connecting shaft 106 is movably disposed within the second connecting rod 112, meaning that the connecting shaft 106 can move within the second connecting rod 112. The first end of the second connecting rod 112 is in transmission connection with the ice pusher 102. Therefore, when the connecting shaft 106 moves and abuts the second connecting rod 112, the connecting shaft 106 drives the ice pusher 102 through the second connecting rod 112.

[0044] The second end of the second connecting rod 112 is provided with a pressure rod 114, which is sleeved with an elastic buffer 116. The elastic buffer 116 provides a buffer to reduce the impact and noise that may be generated during the operation. More importantly, the pressure rod 114 is also used to store energy. It is understood that when the connecting shaft 106 and the pressure rod 114 come into contact, if the adhesion between the ice cube and the first ice mold 100 is relatively low, the connecting shaft 106 can directly press the pressure rod 114 downward, and at the same time drive the second connecting rod 112 downward. As the second connecting rod 112 moves, the second connecting rod 112 drives the ice pusher 102 to complete the ice pushing action. When the connecting shaft 106 comes into contact with the pressure rod 114, if the adhesion between the ice cube and the first ice-making mold 100 is relatively high, the connecting shaft 106 will continue to apply pressure to the pressure rod 114. At this time, the elastic buffer 116 mounted on the pressure rod 114 stores energy. When the adhesion between the ice cube and the first ice-making mold 100 becomes smaller, the elastic buffer 116 can release a certain elastic restoring force due to being compressed. Combined with the pressure applied by the connecting shaft 106 on the second connecting rod 112, the ice-pushing rod 102 can quickly complete the ice-pushing action.

[0045] That is, by arranging the pressure rod 114 on the second connecting rod 112 and sleeve-arranging the elastic buffer member 116 on the pressure rod 114 , a buffering effect is achieved on the one hand, and an energy storage effect is achieved on the other hand.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the first connecting rod 110 is connected to a rocker arm 118, a connecting groove 120 is opened on the rocker arm 118, and the connecting shaft 106 is inserted into the connecting groove 120; along the length direction of the second connecting rod 112, a guide groove 122 is opened on the second connecting rod 112, the connecting shaft 106 is passed through the guide groove 122, and the pressure rod 114 is set in the guide groove 122.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connection method of the first connecting rod 110 and the second connecting rod 112 and the arrangement method of the connecting shaft 106 and the pressure rod 114 are further refined.

[0048] Specifically, the end of the first connecting rod 110 is connected to a rocker arm 118 , which serves to connect the first connecting rod 110 and the connecting shaft 106 , thereby realizing a transmission connection between the first connecting rod 110 and the connecting shaft 106 .

[0049] A connecting groove 120 is provided on the rocker arm 118. The size of the connecting groove 120 is relatively larger than that of the connecting shaft 106. When the driving component 108 is started, the side wall of the connecting groove 120 abuts against the connecting shaft 106, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the connecting shaft 106 to move through the first connecting rod 110 and the rocker arm 118.

[0050] A guide groove 122 is provided on the second connecting rod 112 along the length direction of the second connecting rod 112. The guide groove 122 plays a role of guiding and supporting, so that the connecting shaft 106 can move stably therein.

[0051] The connecting shaft 106 is inserted into the guide groove 122, maintaining a certain clearance from the sidewalls of the guide groove 122 to ensure smooth movement of the connecting shaft 106. Furthermore, the connecting shaft 106 is inserted into the connecting groove 120. Specifically, when the sidewalls of the connecting groove 120 abut against the connecting shaft 106, the connecting groove 120 drives the connecting shaft 106 to move. Simultaneously, the connecting shaft 106 can move along the guide groove 122. When the connecting shaft 106 contacts the sidewalls of the guide groove 122, the connecting shaft 106 drives the second connecting rod 112 to move.

[0052] The pressure rod 114 is disposed at one end of the guide slot 122. The pressure rod 114 serves to limit the range of movement of the connecting shaft 106 and to apply a deformation force to the elastic buffer 116. When the connecting shaft 106 moves to the end of the guide slot 122, the connecting shaft 106 can abut against the pressure rod 114, thereby transmitting power to the second connecting rod 112 and the pressure rod 114.

[0053] An elastic buffer 116 is sleeved onto the pressure rod 114, providing both shock absorption and energy storage. When the connecting shaft 106 and the pressure rod 114 are in contact, the elastic buffer 116 absorbs some of the impact force, reducing noise and vibration. Furthermore, if the ice cube is highly adhered to the first ice mold 100, the ice-pushing rod 102 is unable to push the ice cube out of the first ice mold 100, and the driving member continues to move, causing the connecting shaft 106 to continuously apply pressure to the pressure rod 114, causing the elastic buffer 116 to be continuously compressed, thereby storing energy. Once the adhesion between the ice cube and the first ice mold 100 decreases, the ice-pushing rod 102, driven by the second connecting rod 112 and the elastic restoring force released by the elastic buffer 116, can quickly push the ice cube out of the first ice mold 100.

[0054] The design of the rocker arm 118 enables the first connecting rod 110 to better transmit the power of the drive assembly 108, thereby improving transmission efficiency. Furthermore, the coordination between the connecting shaft 106 and the guide groove 122 ensures stable power transmission. The connecting shaft 106 is inserted into the guide groove 122, maintaining a certain clearance from the sidewalls of the guide groove 122. This ensures greater stability during movement, making it less susceptible to shaking or shifting. Furthermore, the arrangement of the pressure rod 114 and the elastic buffer 116 enhances the stability and reliability of the structure. The elastic buffer 116 effectively absorbs the impact force generated when the connecting shaft 106 and the pressure rod 114 contact each other, thereby reducing noise and vibration. This not only improves the user comfort of the ice maker but also extends the service life of the device. More importantly, the elastic buffer 116 acts as an energy storage device, ensuring that the ice pusher 102 can quickly push the ice cubes out of the first ice mold 100.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a through hole is formed on the side wall of the guide groove 122 away from the ice pusher 102 , and the pressure rod 114 is passed through the through hole.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, a through hole is provided on a side wall of the guide groove 122 away from the ice pusher 102 , through which the pressure rod 114 passes. The shape and size of the through hole match those of the pressure rod 114 .

[0057] One end of the pressing rod 114 is provided with an abutting surface matched with the connecting shaft 106, when the connecting shaft 106 moves to the end of the guide groove 122, the abutting surface will be in contact with the connecting shaft 106, so as to transmit power to the second connecting rod 112 and the pressing rod 114. The other end of the pressing rod 114 is arranged in the through hole and keeps a certain gap with the side wall of the guide groove 122, so as to ensure that the pressing rod 114 can move smoothly.

[0058] It can be understood that the through hole is arranged so that the pressing rod 114 can be more stably arranged in the side wall of the guide groove 122, thereby forming an effective abutting relationship with the connecting shaft 106, greatly improving the stability and accuracy of transmission, and ensuring stable power transmission. The pressing rod 114 is arranged in the through hole and keeps a certain gap with the side wall of the guide groove 122, which makes the structure more solid and durable. At the same time, the arrangement of the elastic buffer 116 also enhances the strength and durability of the structure, can absorb part of the impact force, reduce wear and damage.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present application, a limiting portion is arranged on the pressing rod 114, and the pressing rod 114 is adapted to be limitedly matched with the through hole through the limiting portion, so as to prevent the pressing rod 114 from being pulled out of the through hole.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, a limiting portion is arranged on the pressing rod 114, and the limiting portion and the through hole form a limiting match, thereby effectively preventing the pressing rod 114 from being accidentally pulled out of the through hole during use. The limiting portion can be a protruding ring, a protruding block or other structure that can prevent the pressing rod 114 from sliding out of the through hole.

[0061] When the pressing rod 114 is arranged in the through hole, the limiting portion is clamped between the hole end surface of the through hole and the through hole to form a limiting match. This matching mode can prevent the pressing rod 114 from being pulled out of the through hole, and will not affect the normal movement of the pressing rod 114.

[0062] The arrangement of the limiting portion effectively prevents the pressing rod 114 from being accidentally pulled out of the through hole during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the pressing rod 114. Through the limiting match, the connection between the pressing rod 114 and the through hole is more closely and firmly, which can withstand greater external force and impact, thereby enhancing the strength and durability of the structure.

[0063] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the present application, one end of the pressing rod 114 away from the through hole is provided with a pressing head 124, and the two ends of the elastic buffer 116 are respectively abutted on the pressing head 124 and the hole end surface of the through hole.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, a clamping head 124 is provided at the end of the pressure rod 114 away from the through hole. The clamping head 124 can be a raised spherical, cylindrical or other shape. Its purpose is to provide a stable contact surface for abutting against one end of the elastic buffer 116.

[0065] The two ends of the elastic buffer 116 respectively abut against the pressing head 124 and the end surface of the through hole, playing the role of buffering, shock absorption and energy storage.

[0066] The provision of the pressing head 124 enables the pressing rod 114 to maintain a more stable posture when subjected to external forces, making it less likely to shake or fall off, thereby improving the stability and service life of the pressing rod 114. Moreover, the provision of the pressing head 124, in conjunction with the aforementioned stopper, can further prevent the pressing rod 114 from falling out of the through hole.

[0067] In some embodiments, by setting the length and elastic coefficient of the elastic buffer 116, it can be ensured that when the connecting shaft 106 and the pressure rod 114 are pressed against each other, power can be quickly and stably transmitted to the second connecting rod 112, thereby improving transmission efficiency.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a housing 126 is further included. A bracket assembly is disposed in the housing 126. The first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold are mounted on the bracket assembly.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ice maker further includes a housing 126, within which is disposed a support assembly, on which the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 104 are mounted. The provision of the support assembly not only improves the overall structural stability of the ice maker but also optimizes the convenience and efficiency of the ice making process.

[0070] The housing 126 is an outer protective structure of the ice making machine and can be made of a strong and durable material. The bracket assembly is installed in the housing 126 for supporting and fixing the first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold 104.

[0071] The first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold 104 are mounted in the housing 126 through a bracket assembly and connected to a refrigeration system of the ice-making machine to implement an ice-making process.

[0072] The arrangement of housing 126 and the bracket assembly ensures the stability and reliability of the ice maker during operation, reducing the risk of damage due to vibration or impact. In other words, by adding housing 126 and the bracket assembly, the ice maker is improved in terms of structural stability, ease of operation, ice-making efficiency, and safety.

[0073] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket assembly includes:

[0074] A first bracket 128 , on which the first ice-making mold 100 is mounted;

[0075] The second bracket 130 , the second ice-making mold 104 and the connecting shaft 106 are mounted on the second bracket 130 .

[0076] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket assembly includes a first bracket 128 and a second bracket 130 , which are respectively used to mount the first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold 104 and the connecting shaft 106 .

[0077] The first bracket 128 is used to install the first ice-making mold 100. For example, the first bracket 128 may be provided with positioning holes or buckles and other structures for fixing the first ice-making mold 100 to prevent it from moving or falling off during operation.

[0078] The second bracket 130 is used to install the second ice-making mold 104 and the connecting shaft 106 . The second bracket 130 may be provided with positioning holes or buckles for fixing the second ice-making mold 104 .

[0079] One end of the connecting shaft 106 is connected to the second bracket 130 , and the other end passes through the guide slot 122 on the second connecting rod 112 and the connecting slot 120 on the rocker arm 118 .

[0080] The arrangement of first bracket 128 and second bracket 130 allows the ice maker to achieve a more stable and efficient ice-making process, reducing the likelihood of poor ice-making results due to relative movement between first ice mold 100 and second ice mold 104. The positioning devices on first bracket 128 and second bracket 130, as well as the transmission mechanism design of connecting shaft 106, ensure the stability and reliability of the ice maker during long-term operation, reducing the risk of failure.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ice-pushing rod 102 is a metal ice-pushing rod 102 , and a heating element is wound around the ice-pushing rod 102 .

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ice pushing rod 102 is designed as a metal ice pushing rod 102, and a heating element is wound around the ice pushing rod 102. This design is intended to optimize the ice pushing process of the ice maker, improve ice pushing efficiency and ice quality.

[0083] The ice pushing rod 102 is made of metal material, such as stainless steel or high-strength alloy. The surface of the metal ice pushing rod 102 can also be specially treated, such as polishing or spraying a wear-resistant coating, to reduce the friction between the ice and improve the ice pushing efficiency.

[0084] The heating element is wound around the metal ice pusher 102 to form a heating layer. The heating element can be a heating wire, a heating tube, or other heating element. The heating element provides heat to increase the surface temperature of the ice pusher 102, thereby reducing the adhesion between the ice pusher 102 and the ice cube, and preventing the ice pusher 102 from sticking to the ice cube.

[0085] In addition, it should be noted that the control of the heating element can be achieved through a temperature sensor and a controller to ensure that the heating temperature is maintained within an appropriate range, neither too high to cause the ice to melt too quickly, nor too low to effectively reduce sticking.

[0086] The setting of the heating element reduces the adhesion between the ice pushing rod 102 and the ice cube, making it easier for the ice cube to be pushed away from the first ice making mold 100, helping to reduce the friction between the ice cube and the ice making mold, reducing the risk of ice cube breakage, and thus improving the ice pushing efficiency.

[0087] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first end of the second connecting rod 112 is connected to the synchronization rod 132 , and the synchronization rod 132 is in transmission connection with the ice pushing rod 102 .

[0088] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first end of the second connecting rod 112 is connected to a synchronization rod 132, which is in transmission connection with the ice pushing rod 102. This design is intended to enhance the coordination and efficiency of the transmission system in the ice maker, thereby optimizing the ice pushing process.

[0089] The first end of the second connecting rod 112 can be connected to the synchronization rod 132 by a hinge, a bolt connection or the like. The synchronization rod 132 and the ice pusher 102 can also be connected by a hinge, a bolt connection or the like.

[0090] The transmission connection between the second connecting rod 112, the synchronization rod 132 and the ice pushing rod 102 allows for more coordinated movement of the ice pushing rod 102. When the second connecting rod 112 is driven, the movement is transmitted to the ice pushing rod 102 via the synchronization rod 132, thereby pushing the ice cubes out of the first ice making mold 100.

[0091] The transmission connection between the second connecting rod 112, the synchronization rod 132, and the ice pusher 102 ensures efficient power transmission, reducing energy loss and frictional resistance during the transmission process. The design of the synchronization rod 132 achieves synchronized movement between the second connecting rod 112 and the ice pusher 102, as well as between multiple ice pushers 102, thus avoiding ice push failure or ice damage caused by poor transmission.
