[0031] In order to make the content of the utility model more easily be clearly understood, the following according to specific embodiment and combining with the drawings, the utility model is further explained in detail.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the embodiment provides an ice maker frame body, comprising: frame body 1 formed with the cavity containing ice making container 2.Here the frame body 1 can be selected to use the cuboid shape frame body 1 used in the mature technology means in the prior art, in combination with the visual angle when it is usually assembled into for example refrigerator, one length direction side of frame body 1 is used to fix to the refrigerator to form the mounting surface K, and one length direction side of the two length direction sides of the frame body 1 perpendicular to the mounting surface K is the top of the frame body 1, and the other length direction side is the bottom of the frame body 1, under this structure, in combination with the use visual angle of the general ice maker, the top of the frame body 1 is up, and the bottom 13 is down.

[0034] Here when the ice making container 2 makes ice, the opening of the ice making container 2 faces the top of the frame body 1, and the wiring harness part is arranged on the bottom 13 of the frame body 1, for realizing the guidance and accommodation of the wire harness 10.Based on this case, the mounting part 12 is arranged on one of the two width direction sides of the frame body 1 perpendicular to the mounting surface K, for mounting the driving device 9.

[0035] For this, the embodiment sets the wiring harness part on the bottom 13 of the frame body 1, for the ice maker frame body 1 that has been installed in place, without disassembling between the mounting surface K of the frame body and the refrigerator, the wire harness 10 in the wiring harness part will not be affected by disassembly, when the driving device 9 needs to be overhauled, the driving device 9 connected with the wire harness 10 can be disassembled and installed without disassembling the ice maker frame, therefore greatly improve the convenience of disassembly and overhaul of the driving device 9.Further, the wiring harness part in the embodiment extends along the length direction of the frame body 1, the significance of this design is that: both the length of the wire harness 10 can be reduced, and the bending of the wire harness 10 can be avoided.

[0036] More specifically, the bundle line part of the embodiment comprises a wire slot 4 for accommodating the wire bundle 10 and at least one anti-falling member 6 arranged in the wire slot 4 to prevent the wire bundle 10 from falling out of the wire slot 4. The wire slot 4 is used to form a guide and accommodation for the wire bundle 10, so that the entire wire bundle 10 can be built into the wire slot, on the one hand, to protect the wire bundle 10 from being scratched, and on the other hand, to separate the wire bundle 10 from the ice making container 2 in the cavity, so as to avoid interference of the wire bundle 10 with the use process of the ice making container 2. It should be noted that, since the ice making container 2 in the cavity of the frame 1 needs to be rotated during use, the specific position of the bundle line part at the bottom of the frame 1 is preferably located at the position where the bottom of the frame 1 meets the side wall of the refrigerator, so as to avoid interference with the use process of the ice making container 2 while meeting the accommodation of the wire bundle 10. Based on this, the wire slot 4 has at least one slot opening extending to the bottom end surface of the frame 1, so that the wire bundle 10 can extend from the wire slot 4 to the slot opening of the bottom end surface of the frame 1 to enter and exit the wire slot 4.

[0037] Based on the above, it should be noted that one end of the wire slot 4 towards the mounting part 12 is formed as an open end surface 41, and the included angle of the open end surface 41 with respect to the bottom of the frame 1 is in the range of 90°-150°, so that the wire bundle 10 is more easily put into the wire slot 4.

[0038] Next, an optional implementation case is described in combination with the drawings, and regarding the wire slot 4 in the embodiment, the specific forming mode is as follows:

[0039] The wire slot 4 is formed in the interval between the outer side wall 11 of the frame 1 and the side plate 5 arranged outside the side wall. The corresponding width of the interval can be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the wire bundle 10, so as to meet the accommodation of the wire bundle 10 and improve the smoothness when the wire bundle 10 enters and exits the interval. In this case, the design of the anti-falling member 6 is used to avoid the unintended falling of the wire bundle 10 from the above interval.

[0040] Based on the above structure, at least one hollow area 51 for exposing the wire bundle 10 can be arranged on the side plate 5. The hollow area 51 can be a U-shaped slot or a rectangular hole or other formed hole, which is not absolutely limited in the embodiment. The design of the hollow area 51 is used to save the processing material of the side plate 5, and on the other hand, to facilitate the observation of the assembly state of the wire bundle 10 with respect to the wire slot 4 through the hollow area 51.

[0041] Based on the above, still take an example of a case, the anti-off piece 6 is a elastic sheet connected with the outer side wall 11 of the frame body 1 or the side plate 5, so that the other end of the elastic sheet and the side plate 5 or the outer side wall 11 of the frame body 1 form a cooperation gap 7. Here the end of the elastic sheet corresponding to the cooperation gap 7 forms a movable end, so that the elastic sheet can produce a small amplitude bending deformation, thereby facilitating the wire harness 10 to pass through the cooperation gap 7 to enter or exit the wire slot 4.

[0042] For this, it should be noted that the width of the cooperation gap 7 is smaller than the outer diameter of the wire harness 10, so that when the wire harness 10 needs to be loaded into the wire slot 4, the wire harness 10 itself has a certain elasticity and the small amplitude deformation of the elastic sheet, that is, the wire harness 10 can be clamped into the wire slot 4, and when the wire harness 10 needs to be removed from the wire slot 4, the elastic deformation is also used to achieve. This structure does not require other tools to assist the disassembly and assembly of the wire harness 10 relative to the wire slot 4, and can also avoid the problem of unintended wire harness 10 falling out of the wire slot 4.

[0043] Based on the above, it is necessary to point out that since the wire harness 10 needs to be clamped into the wire slot 4 by relying on elastic deformation, because the wire harness 10 itself will form a tight connection with the elastic sheet during clamping, in order to avoid damage to the outer surface of the wire harness 10 when the elastic sheet extrudes the wire harness 10, a buffer design is made on the end face of the elastic sheet and the wire harness 10. For this, in one optional case, the end face of the elastic sheet facing the cooperation gap 7 is a circular arc surface; or in another optional case, the end face of the elastic sheet facing the cooperation gap 7 is a flat surface, and arc chamfers are formed at the two end corners of the flat surface. Of course, the buffer design here can also be other forms, which are not absolutely limited by this embodiment.

[0044] In addition, in combination with the case that the general wire harness 10 has a certain length, in order to better play a limiting role for the wire harness 10, the wire harness part includes two or more anti-off pieces 6. Based on this structure, when the anti-off piece 6 adopts an elastic sheet, in one preferred implementation, two or more anti-off pieces 6 are arranged in a staggered distribution between the cooperation gap 7 formed between the side plate 5 or the outer side wall 11 of the frame body 1. At this time, it means that for two adjacent elastic sheets, one elastic sheet is connected with the outer side wall 11 of the frame body 1, and the other elastic sheet is connected with the side plate 5, so that the cooperation gap 7 is in a staggered state. This design mainly improves the anti-off effect of the wire harness 10 embedded in the wire slot 4.

[0045] In addition, it should be noted that the interval formed by the outer side wall 11 of the frame body 1 and the side plate 5 is provided with at least two reinforcing ribs 8 distributed along the length direction of the frame body 1, and the reinforcing ribs 8 and the anti-disengagement piece 6 are respectively located at the two side ends of the wire harness 10. The design of the reinforcing ribs 8 can strengthen the firmness of the cooperation structure formed between the side plate 5 and the outer side wall 11 of the frame body 1, prevent the deformation of the side plate 5 due to the interval formed by the cooperation of the two, and cooperate with the anti-disengagement piece 6 to form a clamping effect on the wire harness 10, so as to better stabilize the use state of the wire harness 10.

[0046] In summary, compared with the prior art, the arrangement position of the whole wire harness 10 on the frame body 1 and the limiting mode of the wire harness 10 are changed, and the use performance of the whole is optimized.
