[0020] As Figures 1-3 shown, an ice mold for taking ice without contact includes a mold body 1, and a plurality of ice block cavities 11 are arranged in a longitudinal and transverse staggered array on the mold body 1; to facilitate ice taking, the mold body 1 is made of a flexible material, or the ice block cavities 11 are made of a flexible material, and other parts of the mold body are made of a hard material; in use, the ice block cavities 11 are deformed by external force to perform ice taking operation.

[0021] The mold body 1 is fixedly installed at the opening of a cover 2, and the ice block cavity 11 of the mold body 1 is arranged towards the inner cavity of the cover 2. Here, in order to realize the fixed installation of the mold body 1 at the opening of the cover 2, a plurality of fixing protrusions 12 are arranged at the periphery of the mold body 1, and corresponding fixing holes 21 are arranged at the corresponding positions of the mouth of the cover 2, and after assembly, the fixing protrusions 12 and the fixing holes 21 are correspondingly clamped and connected, and the clamped connection of the fixing protrusions 12 and the fixing holes 21 is a detachable structure, which can facilitate the disassembly of the mold body 1 for cleaning operation.

[0022] Here, the fixing protrusions 12 and the fixing holes 21 can be interchanged, that is, the fixing protrusions are arranged at the mouth of the cover 2 and the fixing holes are arranged on the mold body 1, and the fixing effect is the same, which will not be repeated here. In actual use, other fixing structures can also be used as long as they can realize the detachable connection of the mold body 1 at the mouth of the cover 2.

[0023] When making ice, the entire cover 2 is inverted with the ice mold, at this time the opening of the ice mold ice block cavity 11 is upward, water can be added and placed in the refrigeration equipment for corresponding ice making operation.

[0024] The inner cavity of the cover 2 is provided with a mounting hole 22 penetrating the outside, and a take ice button 3 is arranged in the mounting hole 22, and the bottom of the take ice button 3 is outwardly turned to form a limiting edge 31, the limiting edge 31 is abuttingly connected with the bottom of the mounting hole 22, and the upper part of the take ice button 3 extends out of the mounting hole 22. The inside of the take ice button 3 is provided with a plurality of top holding protrusions 32, and the top holding protrusions 32 are abuttingly connected with the bottom of the ice block cavity 11.

[0025] When taking ice, the cover 2 with the ice mold is inverted, one hand holds the outer side of the cover 2, and the other hand presses the take ice button 3, so that the limiting edge 31 and the top holding protrusion 32 of the take ice button 3 extrude the bottom of the ice block cavity 11 to make the ice block fall off from the ice block cavity, thereby realizing the taking ice operation. In the entire operation process, the hand does not contact the ice mold, and more does not touch the ice block, realizing the non-contact taking ice, which can effectively improve the hygiene of the ice block. Once the taking ice is completed, the external force applied to the take ice button 3 is removed, and the take ice button 3 is reset under the elastic resetting force of the ice mold cavity 11 of the ice mold 1, so as to prepare for the next ice making and taking ice.

[0026] The top of the take ice button 3 is provided with irregular protrusions to facilitate the force of the finger pressing operation.

[0027] Here, considering the need for dust prevention, the mouth of the cover 2 is provided with a dust cover 4 completely covering the mold body, and the structure is as shown in Figure 4 so as to avoid dust or sundries falling into the ice mold during ice making, and further improve the hygiene of ice making.

[0028] In addition, for the convenience of taking ice, the ice taking box 5 is arranged at the mouth of the cover 2, and the ice taking box 5 is fixedly connected with the mouth of the cover 2. Figure 5 When the cover 2 is turned over to take ice, the ice taking box 5 is also turned over, and once the ice falls from the ice mold, the ice directly falls into the ice taking box 5.

[0029] In order to further improve the convenience of taking ice, a notch 51 is arranged on one side of the ice taking box 5, and a drawer box 52 is arranged at the notch 51. Figure 6 The structure is arranged such that the ice taking box 5 is not needed to be disassembled from the cover 2 in use, and when the ice is taken after the ice mold is turned over, the fallen ice directly falls into the drawer box 52, and the drawer box 52 can be directly taken out for temporary storage and distribution of the ice.

[0030] In summary, the ice mold for non-contact ice taking has the characteristics of convenient and sanitary operation, and the whole ice taking process does not need to contact the ice mold.

[0031] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in any form, and any simple modification, equivalent change or modification made according to the technical principle of the utility model to the above embodiment still belongs to the range of the technical scheme of the utility model.
