DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined purpose, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects according to the present application are described in detail below in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-6 An ice maker with sliding cover plate, comprising a body 100, a cover plate 2 and an ice making cavity 3, the cover plate 2 is arranged on the surface of the body 100, and the ice making cavity 3 is arranged inside the body 100.

[0028] Furthermore, an ice-receiving port 4 is provided on the front side of the body 100, and the ice-receiving port 4 is connected to the ice-making chamber 3; the cover plate 2 covers the ice-receiving port 4, and sliding guide components are provided on the left and right sides of the cover plate 2; sliding guide grooves are symmetrically provided on the left and right side walls of the ice-making chamber 3, and the sliding guide grooves are used to provide sliding guidance for the sliding guide components. The sliding guide grooves include an opening guide groove 5 and a closing guide groove 6. The opening guide groove 5 is horizontally set, and one end of the closing guide groove 6 is connected to the opening guide groove 5, and the closing guide groove 6 is inclined downward.

[0029] Thus, based on the above structure, when the cover plate 2 closes the ice-taking port 4, the sliding guide component is located in the closed guide groove 6. When the sliding guide component gradually slides from the closed guide groove 6 to the open guide groove 5, the cover plate 2 opens the ice-taking port 4 and slides into the ice-making chamber 3.

[0030] As can be seen, this utility model adopts a sliding cover plate 2. By setting an opening guide groove 5 and a closing guide groove 6, when the sliding guide component gradually slides from the closing guide groove 6 into the opening guide groove 5, the cover plate 2 opens the ice extraction port 4 and slides into the ice making chamber 3. Thus, when the cover plate 2 is in the open state, it can be hidden inside the ice making chamber 3. This changes the traditional flip-top structure to prevent the cover plate 2 from flipping upwards, so that the entire ice making machine can be embedded inside the cabinet for use.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sliding guide assembly includes an upper sliding guide shaft 7 and a lower sliding guide shaft 8. The upper sliding guide shaft 7 and the lower sliding guide shaft 8 are arranged vertically along the height direction of the cover plate 2 at both ends of the cover plate 2. By using two upper and lower sliding guide shafts, the cover plate 2 is effectively limited to prevent it from flipping over and is not easy to get stuck.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the opening guide groove 5 and the closing guide groove 6 are integrally aligned. Compared to a right-angled structure, it adopts a shape that... The angled structure makes the cover plate 2 slide more smoothly.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, a stop groove 9 is provided at the end of the open guide groove 5 away from the ice outlet 4. The stop groove 9 is inclined downward. In this way, by sliding the upper sliding guide shaft 7 into the stop groove 9, the cover plate 2 can be self-limited in the ice making cavity 3 and will not move.

[0034] The left and right side walls of the ice making cavity 3 are symmetrically provided with guide supports 10, the opening guide groove 5 and the closing guide groove 6 are arranged on the guide supports 10, so that the overall installation of the opening guide groove 5 and the closing guide groove 6 is facilitated, and further, the guide supports 10 are locked on the side walls of the ice making cavity 3 through screw structure, which is simple and fast in installation mode.

[0035] The opening guide groove 5, the closing guide groove 6 and the guide support 10 are integrally formed, so that the production of the opening guide groove 5, the closing guide groove 6 and the guide support 10 is facilitated, and specifically, the opening guide groove 5, the closing guide groove 6 and the guide support 10 are integrally injection molded.

[0036] The guide support 10 is provided with a reinforcing rib 11, the reinforcing rib 11 is connected with the opening guide groove 5 and the closing guide groove 6, so as to improve the strength of the opening guide groove 5 and the closing guide groove 6, and avoid easy deformation.

[0037] The opening guide groove 5, the closing guide groove 6, the reinforcing rib 11 and the guide support 10 are integrally formed, so that the production of the opening guide groove 5, the closing guide groove 6, the guide support 10 and the reinforcing rib 11 is facilitated, and specifically, the opening guide groove 5, the closing guide groove 6, the guide support 10 and the reinforcing rib 11 are integrally injection molded.

[0038] The upper sliding guide shaft 7, the lower sliding guide shaft 8 and the cover plate 2 are integrally formed, so that the production of the upper sliding guide shaft 7, the lower sliding guide shaft 8 and the cover plate 2 is facilitated, and specifically, the upper sliding guide shaft 7, the lower sliding guide shaft 8 and the cover plate 2 are integrally injection molded.

[0039] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
