DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] Here, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0035] If there are terms related to directional indications or positional relationships in the embodiments of this application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indication or positional relationship will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this application are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ice maker water supply mechanism of the present application includes a bottle carrier 1 and a pump assembly 2. Bottle carrier 1 is mounted on pump assembly 2 and is used to receive a water bottle 3. Bottle carrier 1 includes a fixed housing 11, a bottle assembly housing 12, and an elastic member 13. Fixed housing 11 is removably mounted on pump assembly 2, and bottle assembly housing 12 is mounted within fixed housing 11 and is used to receive water bottle 3. Elastic member 13 is located within fixed housing 11 and provides elastic force to bottle assembly housing 12. Liquid in water bottle 3 can flow from bottle carrier 1 into pump assembly 2.

[0037] In some embodiments, the bottle carrier 1 includes a bottle-mounting state and a water supply state. When the bottle carrier 1 is in the bottle-mounting state, the bottle-mounting housing 12 is fixed relative to the fixed housing 11. When the bottle carrier 1 is in the water supply state, the bottle-mounting housing 12 is movable relative to the fixed housing 11.

[0038] With this arrangement, when the water bottle 3 loaded with water is installed in or removed from the bottle assembly housing 12, the bottle assembly housing 12 is fixed relative to the fixed housing 11, making it more convenient to install or remove the water bottle. When the water bottle 3 is supplying water, the water bottle 3 can move relative to the fixed housing 11 along with the bottle assembly housing 12, thereby preventing the water bottle 3 from being dislodged from the bottle assembly housing 12 when people accidentally twist the water bottle 3, causing water to overflow, thereby improving the convenience of use of the water supply mechanism of the ice maker and the user experience.

[0039] When the bottle carrier 1 is in the bottle-mounted state, the fixed housing 11 locks the bottle-mounting housing 12, so that the bottle-mounting housing 12 is completely fixed relative to the fixed housing 11 and remains relatively stationary in both the axial and circumferential directions of the bottle-mounting housing 12. To enable the fixed housing 11 to lock the bottle-mounting housing 12, a fastening thread or a hook structure may be provided in the fixed housing 11.

[0040] Indeed, in order to facilitate the bottle carrier 1 to enter the water supply state after the water bottle 3 is mounted on the bottle assembly housing 12 , when the bottle carrier 1 is in the bottle assembly state, the bottle assembly housing 12 is only fixed relative to the fixed housing 11 in its circumferential direction.

[0041] When the bottle carrier 1 is in the water supply state, the bottle assembly housing 12 can move along its axial direction relative to the fixed housing 11 and can also rotate about its axial direction or circumferential direction relative to the fixed housing 11. This arrangement prevents the water bottle 3 from falling out of the bottle assembly housing 12, thereby improving the utilization of the water in the water bottle 3. Furthermore, the axial movement of the bottle assembly housing 12 relative to the fixed housing 11 allows the bottle assembly housing 12 to be more easily locked to the fixed housing 11, thereby allowing the bottle carrier 1 to quickly enter the bottle assembly state.

[0042] Combine Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixed housing 11 includes an upper support portion 111 and a lower mounting portion 112 connected to each other. The lower mounting portion 112 protrudes from the upper support portion 111 in a direction away from the bottle assembly housing 12. The diameter of the upper support portion 111 is larger than the diameter of the lower mounting portion 112. The bottle assembly housing 12 and the elastic member 13 are located within the upper support portion 111, and the bottle assembly housing 12 can slide and rotate within the upper support portion 111. The lower mounting portion 112 is located within the water pumping assembly 2.

[0043] The upper support portion 111 includes a base plate 1111, a protrusion 1112, a rib 1113, and a support body 1114. The lower mounting portion 112 is connected to the base plate 1111 and extends from the bottom wall of the base plate 1111. The upper support portion 111 and the lower mounting portion 112 are connected via the base plate 1111, allowing liquid in the water bottle 3 to enter the lower mounting portion 112.

[0044] A protrusion 1112 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 1111 facing away from the lower mounting portion 112. The protrusion 1112 protrudes from the bottom plate 1111 in a direction away from the lower mounting portion 112. Multiple protrusions 1112 are provided, spaced apart on the bottom plate 1111 along the circumference of the upper support portion 111. To enhance the stability of the protrusions 1112, one end of the protrusion 1112 is connected to the inner wall of the support portion body 1114. However, to reduce manufacturing costs, the protrusions 1112 are connected only to the bottom plate 1111 and protrude from it.

[0045] In some other embodiments, the protrusion 1112 protrudes from the inner wall of the supporting portion body 1114 along the axis of the upper supporting portion 111, and the protrusion 1112 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 1111. In this embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 1112 are provided, and are spaced apart along the circumference of the upper supporting portion 111 on the inner wall of the supporting portion body 1114.

[0046] In some embodiments, the rib 1113 is located at one end of the upper support portion 111 facing away from the base plate 1111, and the rib 1113 protrudes inward from the inner wall of the upper support portion 111. Along the circumference of the upper support portion 111, the rib 1113 extends around the inner wall of the upper support portion 111. The support portion body 1114 is cylindrical.

[0047] Combine Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottle assembly housing 12 includes a housing portion 121 and a connecting flange 122. The connecting flange 122 is provided on the outer periphery of the housing portion 121 and extends around the outer periphery of the housing portion 121. The housing portion 121 and the connecting flange 122 are integrally formed.

[0048] The bottle assembly shell 12 can slide between the bottom plate 1111 and the rib 1113. Specifically, the outer diameter of the connecting flange 122 is larger than the inner diameter of the rib 1113, so that the bottle assembly shell 12 is clamped between the bottom plate 1111 and the rib 1113, and the shell portion 121 and the connecting flange 122 can move in the upper bearing portion 111 along the axial direction of the bottle assembly shell 12. The connecting flange 122 is provided at one end of the shell portion 121. Indeed, according to actual needs, the connecting flange 122 can also be located at any position on the outer peripheral side of the shell portion 121 along the axial direction of the bottle assembly shell 12. The axial direction of the bottle assembly shell 12 and the axial direction of the upper bearing portion 111 can be approximately considered to coincide with each other.

[0049] The housing 121 is provided with a slot 1211 and threads 1212. The slot 1211 is located at the end of the housing 121 facing away from the connecting flange 122 and is recessed from the end of the housing 121 toward the connecting flange 122. The slots 1211 correspond to the bumps 1112 in a one-to-one manner. Specifically, multiple slots 1211 are provided, and the multiple slots 1211 are spaced apart along the circumference of the bottle assembly housing 12. The number of slots 1211 is equal to the number of bumps 1112. Threads 1212 are provided on the inner wall of the housing 121, and the water bottle 3 cooperates with the threads 1212 to secure it to the housing 121.

[0050] When the bottle carrier 1 is in the bottle-mounted state, a portion of the stationary housing 11 is engaged with the engagement groove 1211. In this state, the bottle-mounted housing 12 is fixed relative to the stationary housing 11 along its circumference. Specifically, when the bottle carrier 1 is in the bottle-mounted state, the protrusion 1112 is engaged with the engagement groove 1211, preventing the bottle-mounted housing 12 from rotating relative to the stationary housing 11. This allows the water bottle 3 to be easily installed in or removed from the bottle-mounted housing 12. When the bottle carrier 1 is in the water supply state, the engagement groove 1211 and the housing portion 121 are disengaged from the protrusion 1112, allowing the bottle-mounted housing 12 to rotate and translate relative to the stationary housing 11.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the slot 1211 is provided on the bottom plate 1111 and is recessed from the bottom plate 1111 toward the lower mounting portion 112. The protrusion 1112 is provided at one end of the housing portion 121 away from the connecting flange 122 and protrudes from the end of the housing portion 121 toward the lower mounting portion 112.

[0052] In some embodiments, the elastic member 13 is used to provide elastic force to the bottle-mounting housing 12, allowing the bottle-mounting housing 12 to more easily disengage from the protrusion 1112 and automatically move relative to the upper support portion 111, thereby accelerating the bottle carrier 1 to enter the water supply state. Specifically, one end of the elastic member 13 abuts the bottle-mounting housing 12, and the other end abuts the fixed housing 11. When the bottle carrier 1 is in the bottle-mounting state, the elastic member 13 is in a compressed state.

[0053] In order to stably lock the bottle assembly housing 12 in the upper supporting portion 111 and ensure smooth water supply of the water bottle 3, the elastic member 13 always has a compressive force. Specifically, when the bottle support 1 is in the water supply state, the elastic member 13 is also in a compressed state.

[0054] The elastic member 13 is sleeved on the housing portion 121, and its two ends respectively abut against the connecting flange 122 and the fixed housing 11. Specifically, there is one elastic member 13, and one end of the elastic member 13 abuts against the connecting flange 122, and the other end abuts against the bottom plate 1111.

[0055] In some other embodiments, a plurality of elastic members 13 are provided, and the elastic members 13 abut between the connecting flange 122 and the bottom plate 1111. Multiple elastic members 13 are spaced around the bottle assembly housing 12 along the circumference of the bottle assembly housing 12. This arrangement allows for the use of smaller elastic members 13, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the two ends of the elastic member 13 are respectively connected to the connecting flange 122 and the retaining edge 1113. In this embodiment, the elastic member 13 is always stretched so that the bottle assembly housing 12 is firmly clamped in the upper bearing portion 111.

[0057] Elastic member 13 is a spring. Indeed, elastic member 13 also can be elastic components such as reeds.

[0058] In some embodiments, to improve the sealing between the bottle mounting housing 12 and the upper supporting portion 111 , the bottle supporting member 1 is provided with a sealing member (not shown), which is located between the connecting flange 122 and the rib 1113 .

[0059] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, in some other embodiments, the upper bearing portion 111 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 1115. The snap-fit ​​groove 1115 is recessed from the outer peripheral side of the bearing portion main body 1114, and the snap-fit ​​groove 1115 is adjacent to the end of the bearing portion main body 1114 facing away from the lower mounting portion 112. The bottle assembly housing 12 includes a claw ring 123. The claw ring 123 extends from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting flange 122 in the direction from the upper bearing portion 111 to the lower mounting portion 112. The claw ring 123 includes an extension ring 1231 and a snap ring 1232. The extension ring 1231 is connected between the connecting flange 122 and the snap ring 1232. The inner diameter of the snap ring 1232 is smaller than the inner diameter of the extension ring 1231.

[0060] In this embodiment, the housing portion 121 is located within the upper bearing portion 111, and the snap ring 1232 is located within the snap groove 1115. The snap ring 1232 is movable within the snap groove 1115, and the upper end surface 1116 and the lower end surface 1117 of the snap groove 1115 are respectively in contact with the snap ring 1232, thereby limiting the movement of the bottle assembly housing 12.

[0061] To improve the stability of the bottle assembly housing 12 when it moves relative to the upper support portion 111, the inner circumference of the extension ring 1231 is in contact with the outer circumference of the support portion main body 1114, or the inner circumference of the snap ring 1232 is in contact with the circumference of the engaging groove 1115. With this arrangement, when the bottle assembly housing 12 moves relative to the upper support portion 111, the contact between the extension ring 1231 and the support portion main body 1114, or the contact between the snap ring 1232 and the circumference of the engaging groove 1115, can provide support and guidance for the translation or rotation of the bottle assembly housing 12, thereby making the bottle assembly housing 12 more stable when it moves relative to the upper support portion 111.

[0062] In order to further improve the stability of the bottle assembly shell 12 when it moves relative to the upper supporting part 111, the inner circumference of the extension ring 1231 is in contact with the outer circumference of the supporting part body 1114, and the inner circumference of the clamping ring 1232 is also in contact with the circumference of the clamping groove 1115.

[0063] To improve the sealing between the bottle assembly housing 12 and the upper supporting portion 111 and prevent liquid from overflowing, a seal (not shown) may be provided between the connecting flange 122 and the end of the supporting portion body 1114 facing away from the lower mounting portion 112 .

[0064] In the ice maker water supply mechanism of the present application, when the bottle carrier 1 switches from the water supply state to the bottle assembly state, the bottle assembly housing 12 moves toward the bottom plate 1111 along the axial direction of the bottle assembly housing 12, and the engaging groove 1211 is engaged with the protrusion 1112. The housing portion 121 can contact the bottom plate 1111 to limit the movement distance of the bottle assembly housing 12.

[0065] When the bottle carrier 1 is converted from the bottle assembly state to the water supply state, the bottle assembly shell 12 moves toward the retaining edge 1113 along the axial direction of the bottle assembly shell 12, the slot 1211 disengages from the protrusion 1112, and the connecting flange 122 can contact the retaining edge 1113 to limit the moving distance of the bottle assembly shell 12.

[0066] When the bottle carrier 1 switches between the water supply state and the bottle assembly state, the elastic member 13 is always in a compressed state. This configuration allows the elastic member 13 to constantly provide elastic force for the bottle assembly housing 12 to move toward the retaining edge 1113, thereby improving the automation level of the ice maker's water supply mechanism.

[0067] The water supply mechanism of the ice maker of the present application is provided with a fixed shell 11 and a bottle assembly shell 12, and when the bottle carrier 1 is in the bottle assembly state, the card groove 1121 and the protrusion 1112 cooperate with each other, so that the bottle assembly shell 12 is fixed relative to the fixed shell 11 along its circumferential direction, thereby making it easier to install the water bottle 3 into the bottle assembly shell 12 and remove the bottle assembly shell 12.

[0068] When the bottle carrier 1 is in the water supply state, the slot 1121 and the protrusion 1112 are separated from each other, and the bottle assembly shell 12 can slide relative to the fixed shell 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 13, and the bottle assembly shell 12 can also rotate relative to the fixed shell 11. When the water bottle 3 is supplying water, if the user accidentally twists or pushes the water bottle 3, the water bottle 3 will rotate or slide with the bottle assembly shell 12, avoiding the problem of loosening or even falling off between the water bottle 3 and the bottle assembly shell 12, thereby improving the convenience of using the water supply mechanism of the ice maker and improving people's usage experience.

[0069] At the same time, under the elastic force of the elastic member 13, the bottle assembly shell 12 is stably fitted to the retaining edge 1113 without the influence of any other external force except the water bottle 3, further improving the stability of the water bottle 3 when supplying water.

[0070] The bottle holder 1 is in the bottle assembly state only when the slot 1121 and the protrusion 1112 are engaged with each other. The bottle holder 1 is in the water supply state when the slot 1121 is disengaged from the protrusion 1112 and before the slot 1121 is not engaged with the protrusion 1112.

[0071] The present application also provides a cold storage device, comprising an ice maker body (not shown), a cold storage chamber (not shown), and the ice maker water supply mechanism described above. The ice maker water supply mechanism is disposed within the cold storage chamber and is connected to the ice maker body. The cold storage device may be a refrigeration device such as a refrigerator or freezer.

[0072] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of this application shall be included in the scope of protection of this application.
