Detailed Implementation

[0026] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this application to achieve its intended purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects according to this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "an embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an ice maker with good ice-making effect includes an ice-making device 1. The ice-making device 1 includes an ice-making rack 11, a rotating guide plate 12, a water receiving tank 13, and an ice storage tank 14. The ice-making rack 11 is used to make ice blocks (ice blocks stuck together, i.e., ice blocks bonded together). The rotating guide plate 12 is located below the ice-making rack 11, the water receiving tank 13 is located below the rotating guide plate 12, and the ice storage tank 14 is located below the water receiving tank 13.

[0029] Specifically, the rotating guide plate 12 is rotatable and includes a water flow guiding surface 121 and an ice block guiding surface 122. The water flow guiding surface 121 is used to guide the water flowing downwards on the ice-making rack 11 into the water receiving tank 13, thereby preventing the water during the ice-making stage from flowing into the ice storage tank 14. The ice block guiding surface 122 is used to guide the ice blocks falling from the ice-making rack 11 into the ice storage tank 14, thereby achieving automatic ice block falling into the ice storage tank 14. That is, by setting... The rotating guide plate 12 is used to guide water into the water receiving tank 13 or guide ice blocks into the ice storage tank 14, without the need for manual intervention. Furthermore, a protrusion 1221 is provided on the ice block guiding surface 122. The protrusion 1221 protrudes from the surface of the ice block guiding surface 122. When the protrusion 1221 collides with the ice block, the ice block rolls and falls. At the same time, the protrusion 1221 prevents the water that falls with the ice block from flowing into the ice storage tank 14.

[0030] Based on the above structure, specifically, when the ice-making rack 11 successfully detaches from the ice, the ice block on the ice-making rack 11 will suddenly and rapidly fall downwards and onto the ice block guide surface 122. Since the ice block guide surface 122 is provided with a protrusion 1221, the lower part of the ice block will collide with the protrusion 1221. At this time, the protrusion 1221 will obstruct the movement of the ice block to a certain extent. However, since the ice block was in a state of rapid movement before, under the huge inertia, the upper part of the ice block will continue to move, causing the ice block to tumble and fall towards the ice storage tank 14, and finally fall into the ice storage tank 14. At the same time, the protrusions 1221 on the ice block guide surface 122 act as a barrier to prevent water from flowing into the ice storage tank 14 when the rotating guide plate 12 rotates again. When the rotating guide plate 12 rotates again, it can guide the water to the water flow guide surface 121 and finally guide the water back into the water tank 13 through the water flow guide surface 121.

[0031] Therefore, this utility model provides a protrusion 1221 on the ice block guide surface 122 of the rotating guide plate 12, which allows the ice block to collide with the protrusion 1221 and obstruct its movement. This causes the ice block to fall into the ice storage tank 14 in a tumbling state. Compared with the previous method where the ice block slides on the ice block guide surface 122 and falls directly, this method makes it easier for the ice block to break into multiple small pieces, resulting in a better user experience. At the same time, the protrusion 1221 prevents water from flowing into the ice storage tank 14 as the ice block falls, thus avoiding water from entering the ice storage tank 14 and soaking the ice, causing it to melt. This also enables water recycling and improves water utilization.

[0032] Among them, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the protrusion 1221 is a tubular body 2 provided on the ice block guide surface 122. In this embodiment, the end of the ice block guide surface 122 away from the pivot extends and is wound to form a tubular body 2. With the structure of the tubular body 2, its surface is smoother and there are no sharp edges. When the ice block falls and collides with the tubular body 2, it is not easy to get stuck, making it easier for the ice block to continue falling. At the same time, it also avoids the tubular body 2 from damaging the surface of the ice block.

[0033] Among them, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the tubular body 2 is generally cylindrical, and the radial cross section of the tubular body 2 can be either circular or circular with a notch.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 4As shown, when the radial cross-section of the tubular body 2 is a circle with a notch, the free end of the tubular body 2 faces the ice block guide surface 122, and the free end of the tubular body 2 is tangent to the vertical line of the ice block guide surface 122. Since the ice blocks falling from the ice-making rack 11 generally contain a small amount of water, the tubular body 2 will block this water, effectively preventing the water from falling into the ice storage tank 14 along with the ice blocks. By making the free end of the tubular body 2 tangent to the vertical line of the ice block guide surface 122, when the rotating guide plate 12 rotates and tilts up, all the water that enters the tubular body 2 can flow out smoothly from the inside of the tubular body 2 without remaining inside the tubular body 2.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the tubular body 2 are provided with baffles 3 connected to the ice block guide surface 122. Thus, by closing the two ends of the tubular body 2, the interior of the tubular body 2 is enclosed to form an open cavity, preventing water from flowing out from the two ends of the tubular body 2 and into the ice storage tank 14.

[0036] The protrusion 1221 and the ice block guide surface 122 are integrally formed, which facilitates the production of the protrusion 1221 and the ice block guide surface 122.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] The structure of the protrusion 1221 differs from that in Embodiment 1. Specifically, the protrusion 1221 is a baffle 4 disposed on the ice block guide surface 122, wherein, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the baffle 4 is perpendicular to the ice guide surface 122 to form a right angle, or the baffle 4 is inclined towards the ice-making rack 11, and the baffle 4 and the ice guide surface 122 form an angle α, where 0° < α < 90°, that is, as shown Figure 8 As shown, the baffle 4 and the ice block guide surface 122 form an acute angle, which is acceptable.

[0039] The height of the baffle 4 is h, where 1cm ≤ h ≤ 2.2cm. The baffle 4 needs to have a reasonable height. If the height of the baffle 4 is too low, it will not be able to prevent the flipping effect; if the height of the baffle 4 is too high, it will also not be able to prevent the flipping effect. Specifically, in one embodiment, h = 2cm or h = 1cm is acceptable.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
