Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice box technology, and in particular to a simple ice box. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a common household ice container. To use it, you pour beverages or purified water into the ice maker and then place it in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator to freeze the liquid.

[0003] Most existing ice boxes use a simple ice tray structure. When the liquid raw material in the ice tray freezes into ice, the ice is difficult to remove from the ice tray due to the adsorption between the ice and the ice tray wall and the low temperature of the ice. People often need to invert the entire ice tray and then tap the bottom, or tap the ice tray one by one to make the ice fall out. This operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires a lot of manual labor. Therefore, we propose a simplified ice box. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a simple ice maker that solves the technical problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A simple ice maker includes a second box body, with a first box body at the upper end of the second box body. The inner wall of the first box body is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second box body. Multiple ice makers are arranged at the upper end of the first box body, each ice maker penetrating the first box body and fixedly connected to the penetrating part. Each ice maker has an ice-dispensing component at its lower end. Pressing components are arranged on the left and right sides of the first box body. Limiting grooves are formed on the front, back, and inner sides of the first box body. Limiting sliders are slidably connected to the inner walls of the limiting grooves, and the limiting sliders are fixedly connected to the second box body.

[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the ice-retrieving component includes a movable piston plate, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ice-making box.

[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the movable piston plate, the fixing rod passes through the ice box and is slidably connected to the through part, and the lower end of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the lower inner end face of the box body.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that a spring is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod, and the two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the ice box and the box body.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the pressing component includes a placement groove formed on one surface of the box body, and a pressing plate is provided inside the placement groove.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a rotating rod is fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the pressing plate, one end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the placement groove through a bearing, a magnet is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the pressing plate, an iron plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove, and the magnet is attracted to the iron plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a simple ice maker with the following advantages:

[0013] With the cooperation of box one, box two, limiting slider, limiting groove, iron plate, placement groove, rotating rod, pressing plate, magnet, moving piston plate, fixing rod and spring, the pressing plate can be rotated by the rotating rod, and the pressing plate can be attached to the placement groove by the iron plate and magnet, so as to avoid protruding and increasing the volume of the whole device. When in use, the pressing plate can be extended. Pressing the pressing plate downwards can make box one move down on the surface of box two. The limiting slider and limiting groove can improve the stability of box one when it moves down on the surface of box two. When the box moves down, the moving piston plate will slide on the inner wall of the ice box, so that the ice cubes inside the ice box can be pushed out, thus quickly removing ice. When the box moves down, the spring will be compressed. After removing ice, the pressing plate will be released, and the spring's restoring force will make box one move up and reset, and the moving piston plate will be reset, so that it can be used for ice making again.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a simple ice maker, including a second box body 3. A first box body 1 is provided at the upper end of the second box body 3. The inner wall of the first box body 1 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second box body 3. Multiple ice makers 2 are provided at the upper end of the first box body 1. Each ice maker 2 penetrates the first box body 1 and is fixedly connected to the penetration part. An ice-removing component 7 is provided at the lower end of each ice maker 2. Pressing components 4 are provided on the left and right sides of the first box body 1. Limiting grooves 5 are provided on the front and back of the inside of the first box body 1. Limiting sliders 6 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting grooves 5. The limiting sliders 6 are fixedly connected to the second box body 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pressing component 4 facilitates pressing of the box body 1, the limiting slider 6 and the limiting groove 5 can improve the stability of the box body 1 during use, and the ice-removing component 7 facilitates the ejection of ice blocks inside the ice box 2.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution. Preferably, the ice-retrieving component 7 includes a movable piston plate 71, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the ice-making box 2. A fixing rod 72 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the movable piston plate 71. The fixing rod 72 passes through the ice-making box 2 and is slidably connected to the through part. The lower end of the fixing rod 72 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the inner part of the box body 3. A spring 73 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 72. The two ends of the spring 73 are fixedly connected to the ice-making box 2 and the box body 3, respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the downward pressure of the box body 1 causes the moving piston plate 71 to slide on the inner wall of the ice box 2, thereby pushing out the ice cubes inside the ice box 2 and quickly completing the ice removal operation. The downward pressure of the box body 1 will compress the spring 73. When the downward pressure on the box body 1 is released, the restoring force of the spring 73 can cause the box body 1 to return to its original position and rise, making it convenient for subsequent ice making.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution. Preferably, the pressing component 4 includes a placement groove 42 formed on the surface of the box body 1. A pressing plate 44 is provided inside the placement groove 42. A rotating rod 43 is fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the pressing plate 44. One end of the rotating rod 43 is rotatably connected to the inside of the placement groove 42 through a bearing. A magnet 45 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the pressing plate 44. An iron plate 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 42. The magnet 45 and the iron plate 41 are attracted and connected.

[0032] In this embodiment, the pressing plate 44 can be attracted to the iron plate 41 by the attraction of the magnet 45, and placed inside the placement groove 42. This avoids the pressing plate 44 extending out and increasing the area of ​​the entire device, which would affect the placement of the entire device. When in use, the iron plate 41 is separated from the magnet 45, and the pressing plate 44 is extended out of the placement groove 42 by the action of the rotating rod 43 for pressing. The pressing plate 44 can press down the box body 1, thereby enabling the ice removal operation.

[0033] The specific working principle and usage method of this utility model are as follows:

[0034] This utility model provides a simple ice maker, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, during use, the pressing plate 44 is rotated into the placement groove 42 by the action of the rotating rod 43. The pressing plate 44 is then attracted into the placement groove 42 by the cooperation of the iron plate 41 and the magnet 45, preventing the pressing plate 44 from protruding and increasing the overall area of ​​the device, which would be detrimental to placing the device inside the refrigerator for ice making. Water is then poured into the ice maker 2, and the entire device is placed inside the refrigerator for ice making. After ice making is complete, the entire device is removed from the refrigerator. The pressing plate 44 is then reversed to separate the iron plate 41 and the magnet 45, allowing the pressing plate 44 to rotate out of the placement groove 42 for use. By pressing the pressing plates 44 on both sides of the box body 1, the box body 1 moves downward on the surface of the box body 2 3. The limiting slider 6 and the limiting groove 5 can improve the stability of the box body 1 when it moves downward on the surface of the box body 2 3. When the box body 1 moves downward, the moving piston plate 71 will slide on the inner wall of the ice box 2, which can push out the ice cubes inside the ice box 2, thereby quickly removing ice. When the box body 1 moves downward, the spring 73 will be compressed. After removing ice, the pressing plates 44 are released. Under the action of the restoring force of the spring 73, the box body 1 can be moved upward and reset, and the moving piston plate 71 can be reset, which is convenient for subsequent ice making.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model.
