[0002] With the improvement of living standards, more and more families are using ice makers to make ice. In related technologies, ice makers control the opening and closing of the ice dispensing valve to dispense ice. However, the existing automatic closing structure of the ice dispensing valve is complicated. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related art. To this end, this invention proposes an ice dispensing assembly for an ice maker, designed to simplify the closing structure of the ice door.

[0004] This utility model also proposes a refrigeration device.

[0005] The ice dispensing assembly of the ice maker according to a first aspect of the present invention includes:

[0006] An ice dispensing box, wherein the ice dispensing box is provided with an ice dispensing channel and an inlet and an outlet connecting the ice dispensing channel;

[0007] An ice door, connected to the ice outlet box, is adapted to open or close the inlet;

The elastic element is adapted to elastically contract when the ice door opens the entrance. The valve stem is adapted to drive the ice door to close the entrance under the action of gravity and the elastic element.

[0011] According to the ice-discharging assembly of the ice maker in this embodiment, ice is discharged through the ice-discharging channel of the ice box. When the ice door opens the entrance of the ice-discharging channel, ice can enter the ice-discharging channel from the entrance and be discharged from the outlet for user use. The driving component drives the valve rod to move, causing the valve rod to drive the ice door to open the entrance. When the driving component stops driving the valve rod, the valve rod returns to its initial state under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the elastic component, thereby pushing the ice door back to the closed entrance state. In this way, the ice door automatically closes. In the event of a power outage or loss of power of the driving component, the valve rod can still close the entrance under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the elastic component, thereby preventing cold leakage and effectively avoiding the situation where the driving component cannot drive the ice door to close.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic element is a spring;

[0015] And / or, the driving element is an electromagnet, which electromagnetically attracts the valve stem to compress the elastic element.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice door is provided with a hook, and one end of the valve stem is provided with a hanging platform, which is used to engage with the hook when the ice door is opened.

[0019] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting block is provided in the ice outlet channel. The limiting block is located on the side of the valve stem away from the ice gate, and the limiting block is adapted to stop the ice gate or the valve stem.

[0020] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a corner-avoiding groove is formed inward on the side of the ice gate facing the limiting block, and the corner-avoiding groove is adapted to avoid the limiting block.

[0035] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 3According to a first aspect of the present invention, the ice dispensing assembly of an ice maker includes an ice dispensing box 1, an ice door 2, a driving member 3, a valve stem 4, and an elastic member 5. The ice dispensing box 1 is provided with an ice dispensing channel 11 and an inlet 12 and an outlet 13 communicating with the ice dispensing channel 11. The ice door 2 is connected to the ice dispensing box 1 and is adapted to open or close the inlet 12. The driving member 3 is disposed in the ice dispensing box 1. The valve stem 4 is connected to the driving member 3 and the ice door 2 respectively. One end of the elastic member 5 is connected to the driving member 3, and the other end is connected to the valve stem 4. The elastic member 5 is adapted to elastically reset the valve stem 4. The driving member 3 drives the valve stem 4 to move so that the valve stem 4 drives the ice door 2 to open the inlet 12. The elastic member 5 is adapted to elastically contract when the ice door 2 opens the inlet 12. The valve stem 4 is adapted to drive the ice door 2 to close the inlet 12 under the action of gravity and the elastic member 5.

[0036] According to the ice-discharging assembly of the ice maker in this embodiment, ice is discharged through the ice-discharging channel 11 of the ice box 1. When the ice door 2 opens the inlet 12 of the ice-discharging channel 11, ice can enter the ice-discharging channel 11 from the inlet 12 and be discharged from the outlet 13 for user use. The driving component 3 drives the valve stem 4 to move, so that the valve stem 4 drives the ice door 2 to open the inlet 12. When the driving component 3 stops driving the valve stem 4, the valve stem 4 returns to its initial state under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the elastic component 5, thereby pushing the ice door 2 back to the state of closing the inlet 12. In this way, the ice door 2 automatically closes. In the event of a power outage or loss of power of the driving component 3, the valve stem 4 can still close the inlet 12 under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the elastic component 5, thereby preventing cold leakage and effectively avoiding the situation where the driving component 3 cannot drive the ice door 2 to close.

[0037] For example, if both the inlet 12 and outlet 13 of the ice outlet channel 11 are square, then the side length of the outlet 13 should be greater than the side length of the inlet 12 to prevent ice from getting stuck in the outlet 13 after entering the ice outlet channel 11. For example, in this case, the height of the inlet 12 is 40mm, and the minimum size of the outlet 13 is 44mm. For example, if both the inlet 12 and outlet 13 of the ice outlet channel 11 are circular, then the diameter of the outlet 13 is greater than the diameter of the inlet 12. The shapes of the inlet 12 and outlet 13 are not limited here. It should be noted that the size of the outlet 13 being greater than the size of the inlet 12 means that the ice can pass through both the inlet 12 and the outlet 13, avoiding a situation where the ice can pass through the inlet 12 but cannot pass through the outlet 13.

[0038] Please refer to the reference. Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, the top of the ice gate 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the ice outlet channel 11 via a pivot. In the first state of the ice gate 2, for example, when the ice gate 2 is in a vertical state, the ice gate 2 closes the inlet 12, preventing ice from being discharged through the ice outlet channel 11, and preventing dust and other debris from entering the ice storage area through the inlet 12. When the ice gate 2 rotates relative to the ice outlet box 1 to move away from the inlet 12, for example, when the ice gate 2 rotates from a vertical state to a horizontal state, ice can be discharged through the ice outlet box 1. One end of the ice gate 2 can be engaged with one end of the valve stem 4. When the driving member 3 drives the valve stem 4 to move away from the ice gate 2, the valve stem 4 can drive the ice gate 2 to rotate, thereby opening the inlet 12. When the driving member 3 stops driving the valve stem 4, or when the driving member 3 stops applying force to the valve stem 4, the valve stem 4 moves towards the ice gate 2 under the action of gravity, thereby causing the ice gate 2 to retract to the initial state of closing the inlet 12. Optionally, the upper end of the ice gate 2 is rotatably connected to the ice box 1. The ice gate 2 closes the entrance 12 in the vertical state and opens the entrance 12 when the ice gate 2 is rotated to the tilted state. In this way, when the driving component 3 stops applying force to the valve stem 4, the movable end of the ice gate 2 rotates downward under the action of gravity. That is, the ice gate 2 can also return to the vertical state under its own gravity, which can better close the entrance 12. The valve stem 4 can prevent the ice gate 2 from swinging and causing the entrance 12 to open automatically.

[0039] It should be noted that the driving component 3 drives the valve stem 4 to move, which can be done directly or indirectly through other connecting components. The driving component 3 can be a motor, cylinder, or other driving structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, the driving member 3 can compress the elastic member 5 by moving the valve stem 4. Alternatively, the driving member 3 can also drive the elastic member 5 to contract, thereby moving the valve stem 4. This is not limited to any particular method, as long as the valve stem 4 moves the ice gate 2 to open the entrance 12. When it is necessary to close the entrance 12, the driving member 3 closes, and the elastic member 5 expands to push the valve stem 4, thereby pushing the ice gate 2 towards the entrance 12, ultimately closing the entrance 12. Thus, to ensure the stability of the ice gate 2 in closing the entrance 12, the elastic force of the elastic member 5 can press the valve stem 4, keeping the valve stem 4 in the position abutting the ice gate 2, thereby maintaining the closed state of the ice gate 2. The elastic member 5 can be a spring, a sheet spring, etc.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting platform 41 is provided on the valve stem 4, and an installation interval is provided between the limiting platform 41 and the driving member 3. An elastic member 5 is provided in the installation interval, with one end of the elastic member 5 connected to the driving member 3 and the other end connected to the limiting platform 41.

[0042] Understandably, the limiting platform 41 is arranged around the valve stem body. The limiting platform 41 is used to connect the elastic element 5 so that the elastic element 5 is clamped between the limiting platform 41 and the driving element 3. The connection method between the elastic element 5 and the limiting platform 41 can be adhesive, snap-fit, etc., so that the valve stem 4 and the limiting platform 41 can move together when the elastic element 5 is compressed.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic element 5 is a spring. For example, the spring is sleeved on the valve stem 4, and one end of the spring is connected to the limiting platform 41. The limiting platform 41 can abut against the end face of the spring, so that the limiting platform 41 can press the spring to compress it. At the same time, the limiting platform 41 can stop the spring from returning to its original position, thereby providing a force application point to facilitate the spring pushing the valve stem 4 to move.

[0044] Optionally, the driving component 3 is an electromagnet, which electromagnetically attracts the valve stem 4 to compress the elastic element 5. Understandably, when the electromagnet is energized, the valve stem 4 compresses the spring under electromagnetic force, and the valve stem 4 pulls the ice door 2 to rotate, thereby opening the entrance 12 of the ice door 2. Furthermore, when the electromagnet is de-energized, the valve stem 4 moves towards the ice door 2 under its own weight and the restoring force of the spring, thus pushing the ice door 2 to close the entrance 12. Specifically, a magnetically attractive material can be provided at one end of the valve stem 4 near the ice door 2, or a magnetically attractive material can be installed inside this area, so that the valve stem 4 can move away from the electromagnet under electromagnetic force.

[0045] In one embodiment, one end of the valve stem 4 is connected to the ice door 2, and the other end passes through the drive member 3 and extends to the outside, so that the user can also grab the valve stem 4 from the outside to move it, so as to manually control the ice door 2 to open or close.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice door 2 is provided with a hook 21, and one end of the valve stem 4 is provided with a mounting platform 42, which is used to engage with the hook 21. For example, the ice door 2 has a protruding hook 21 on the side facing the valve stem 4, and the valve stem 4 has a protruding mounting platform 42 on the side facing the ice door 2. The mounting platform 42 and the hook 21 engage with each other. When the valve stem 4 moves, the mounting platform 42 engages with the hook 21, so that the valve stem 4 can drive the ice door 2 to rotate.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, an anti-reverse angle 22 is provided on the side of the ice door 2 adjacent to the hook 21 and facing the valve stem 4. The anti-reverse angle 22 is used to abut against the hanging platform 42 when the ice door 2 closes the inlet 12. It can be understood that the anti-reverse angle 22 protrudes in the direction of the valve stem 4. When the ice door 2 is opened, the hanging platform 42 abuts against the hook 21. When the ice door 2 is closed, the hanging platform 42 moves to abut against the anti-reverse angle 22 to prevent the ice door 2 from moving.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the top of the ice box 1 is provided with an installation channel 14, the installation channel 14 is connected to the ice outlet channel 11, the driving member 3 is installed in the installation channel 14, and the valve stem 4 extends from the driving member 3 toward the ice outlet channel 11.

[0049] For example, the mounting channel 14 extends vertically, and the top of the drive component 3 is exposed outside the mounting channel 14 to facilitate connection to an external power supply component. It is understood that the mounting channel 14 is located above the ice gate 2, and the valve stem 4 extends downwards to allow it to move towards the ice gate 2 under gravity. The drive component 3 can be fixed within the mounting channel 14 by snap-fit, adhesive, threaded connection, etc. Furthermore, since the drive component 3 is placed above the mounting channel 14, it is not easily allowed to fall out.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting block 15 is provided in the ice outlet channel 11. The limiting block 15 is located on the side of the valve stem 4 away from the ice gate 2. The limiting block 15 is suitable for stopping the ice gate 2 or the valve stem 4.

[0051] Understandably, a gap is provided between the limiting block 15 and the ice gate 2 to accommodate the valve stem 4. The limiting block 15 can be used to abut the side of the valve stem 4 away from the ice gate 2 to prevent the valve stem 4 from being offset. For example, when the ice gate 2 is closed, one side of the valve stem 4 abuts against the stop angle 22, and the other side abuts against the limiting block 15, thus pressing the ice gate 2 to prevent it from moving. In addition, the limiting block 15 can also limit the opening angle of the ice gate 2. When the valve stem 4 moves out of the abutting position of the stop angle 22, the ice gate 2 rotates to open the inlet 12. After the ice gate 2 rotates a certain angle, it is stopped by the limiting block 15, which can prevent the mounting plate 42 of the valve stem 4 from disengaging from the hook 21 of the ice gate 2.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of this utility model, the ice door 2 has a recessed corner avoidance groove 23 on the side facing the limiting block 15. The corner avoidance groove 23 is suitable for avoiding the sharp corner of the limiting block 15. It can be understood that the corner avoidance groove 23 can accommodate the sharp corner of the limiting block 15, and the edge of the corner avoidance groove 23 abuts against the limiting block 15, preventing the ice door 2 from abutting against the sharp corner of the limiting block 15, thereby avoiding repeated contact between the ice door 2 and the sharp corner, which would cause severe wear. At the same time, the recessed side of the ice door 2 facing the limiting block 15 and the protruding side of the ice door 2 away from the limiting block 15 prevent the surface of the ice door 2 from being too flat, which helps to improve the strength of the ice door 2 and prevent deformation. Furthermore, the protruding side of the ice door 2 facing the ice storage area makes it easier to distinguish the front and back of the ice door 2, thus facilitating installation, and preventing ice blocks from sticking to and adhering to the overly flat ice door 2, thereby effectively reducing the occurrence of ice jamming.

[0053] In one embodiment, the ice dispensing box 1 has a guide hole 1121 that connects to the ice dispensing channel 11. The guide hole 1121 connects to the interior of the machine body. When the user needs ice, the ice in the ice storage area is discharged into the ice dispensing channel 11 of the ice dispensing box 1, so that ice can be dispensed through the ice dispensing channel 11. When the ice produces melted water or ice shavings that enter the ice dispensing channel 11, the melted water and ice shavings can flow into the guide hole 1121, thereby flowing back into the interior of the machine body, preventing water droplets from falling to the outside. The guide hole 1121 is small in size, so the ice will not enter the guide hole 1121 and can be discharged normally. In this way, melted water is prevented from dripping onto the table or floor, improving the user experience.

[0054] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the ice dispensing box 1 is provided with a guide plate 113, which is located below the guide hole 1121. It is understood that after the melted ice water flows out through the guide hole 1121, it will drip from below the guide hole 1121. To ensure that the water flows to a designated area, the guide plate 113 collects the water flowing through the guide hole 1121 and guides it to the designated area for centralized drainage treatment. For example, the guide plate 113 is connected to the outer wall of the ice dispensing box 1, and the guide plate 113 can be inclined to allow water to flow naturally. For example, a water receiving trough or water receiving box is provided at the end of the guide plate 113 to prevent water from flowing towards live parts and causing damage. Optionally, baffles are provided on both sides of the guide plate 113 to prevent water from flowing out from the sides of the guide plate 113; that is, water can only flow out from the end of the guide plate 113, thus flowing to the designated area. Optionally, the connection between the flow guide plate 113 and the ice box 1 can be by bonding, welding, snap-fitting or threaded connection. Of course, in other embodiments, the flow guide plate 113 and the ice box 1 can also be integrally formed, which is not limited here.

[0055] The refrigeration device according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a body and the aforementioned ice-making ice-dispensing assembly, wherein the ice-making ice-dispensing assembly is disposed on the body. It is understood that the refrigeration device can be an entire ice maker or a refrigerator, freezer, etc., with an ice-making function, and is not limited thereto.

[0056] The refrigeration equipment according to the present utility model embodiment includes the ice dispensing component of the ice maker described above, and therefore has all the technical effects of the ice dispensing component of the ice maker described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
