The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 This application provides an ice-making device 100 for rapidly cooling liquid water to form ice cubes for user use. The ice-making device 100 can be used as industrial equipment in production operations, or as food processing equipment to produce food ice cubes. It can also be applied in medical, cold chain transportation, and other fields; this embodiment does not impose specific limitations in these areas. As an example, the ice-making device 100 is used as a household appliance, installed in offices, kitchens, restaurants, and other similar locations to produce food ice cubes.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment provided in this application, the ice-making device 100 includes a housing 10 and a display device 20. The housing 10 has a storage space 101 inside. The display device 20 is detachably connected to the side of the housing 10 facing away from the storage space 101 and protrudes relative to the housing 10. The display device 20 includes a display housing 21 and a display component 22. The display housing 21 includes a connecting portion 211 and a mounting portion 212 connected to each other. The display component 22 is disposed on the mounting portion 212, and the connecting portion 211 is detachably connected to the housing 10. The display component 22 has a display surface 221 facing away from the connecting portion 211. In the working state, the display surface 221 forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane and is inclined upwards relative to the horizontal plane. The horizontal plane can specifically be a supporting plane such as a tabletop or the ground, and the display surface is oriented away from the horizontal plane.

[0027] The display device 20 is installed as an independent device in the housing 10 for easy installation and maintenance. During installation, the display component 22 is assembled in the mounting part 212 and the display surface 221 is positioned away from the connecting part 211, that is, the display surface 221 is facing the user. The display device 20 is then detachably connected to the housing 10 through the connecting part 211 to fix the display device 20 to the housing 10.

[0028] The installed display device 20 protrudes from the housing 10, facilitating quick user positioning and improving operational convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, the protruding display device 20 provides users with more operating space, enhancing accuracy and comfort. Additionally, the display assembly 22 has a display surface 221. In operation, the display surface 221 forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane and tilts upwards relative to the horizontal plane. This better adapts to the user's natural line of sight, improving viewing comfort and interactive experience. Moreover, the tilted display surface 221 better reflects light and reduces glare, thereby improving the clarity and readability of the displayed content. Simultaneously, the tilted display surface 221 allows liquids dripping onto the display device 20 to slide off more easily, reducing the risk of liquid contact and corrosion to the display assembly 22, while also improving the overall lifespan and aesthetics of the device.

[0029] The following sections will introduce each component of the ice-making equipment 100 and the specific structure of each component.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The housing 10 is used to install components and also to support the ice-making equipment 100 in its place of use, such as the ground, tabletop, or other support platform, the surface of which defines a horizontal plane. Specifically, the housing 10 is generally rectangular, but in other embodiments, the housing 101 can also be any shape, such as a cube, cylinder, or even an irregular shape. The housing 10 has a storage space 101 for installing and placing components, which may include components such as the inner liner 10, the refrigeration mechanism 30, and the temperature sensor 40, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment. As an example, the ice-making equipment 100 includes a refrigeration mechanism 30, which is used to refrigerate the refrigeration area to form ice. The refrigeration mechanism 30 may include an evaporator 31, a compressor 32, and a condenser 33 disposed within the housing 10. The compressor 32 is connected to the evaporator 31, which is used to contain a heat exchange medium, such as water, Freon, propane, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment. The condenser 33 is connected to the compressor 32. The heat exchange medium in the evaporator 31 absorbs heat from the ice-making area and changes from liquid to gas to cool the ice-making area. The gaseous heat exchange medium is cooled back to liquid by the compressor 32 and the condenser 33. The liquid heat exchange medium returns to the evaporator 31 to continue absorbing heat and cooling. The above process is repeated continuously, which can realize the cooling of the ice-making area and freeze the liquid water to form ice.

[0031] In some embodiments, the refrigeration mechanism 30 may further include a cooling fan (not shown in the figure). The cooling fan is disposed inside the housing 10, and the housing 10 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes communicating with the storage space 101. The suction end of the cooling fan faces the condenser 33, and the blowing end of the cooling fan faces the heat dissipation holes. Due to the cooling fan, the heat generated around the condenser 33 during operation can be absorbed by the cooling fan and discharged from the housing 10 through the heat dissipation holes to prevent a large amount of heat from accumulating around the condenser 33, thereby ensuring that the refrigeration mechanism 30 can operate safely and normally.

[0032] In this embodiment, the component includes a display device 20, which is detachably connected to the side of the housing 10 away from the storage space 101 and protrudes relative to the housing 10. Users can obtain real-time operating status of the ice-making equipment 100 through the display device 20. Specifically, the display device 20 may include a display housing 21 and a display component 22. The display housing 21 is used to install and protect the display component 22. One end of the display housing 21 is also detachably connected to the housing 10, making installation and maintenance of the display device 20 more convenient. Users can easily disassemble and replace the display device 20 as needed. As a specific example, the display housing 21 includes a connecting portion 211 and a mounting portion 212. The mounting portion 212 has an installation space in which the display component 22 is installed. The connecting portion 211 is connected to one side of the mounting portion 212. When the display device 20 is working, the connecting portion 211 is also detachably connected to the surface of the housing 10. This embodiment does not limit the connection method between the connecting part 211 and the housing 10. For example, the connecting part 211 can be snapped to the housing 10, or it can be threaded to the housing 10, or it can be magnetically connected to the housing 10.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As an example, the ice-making device 100 also includes a fastening assembly 40, which is detachably connected between the connecting part 211 and the housing 10. The fastening assembly 40 serves as a connecting carrier to fix the display device 20 to the housing 10. Specifically, the connecting part 211 has an internal mounting cavity 2111 that communicates with the installation space. During installation, one end of the connecting part 211 abuts against the housing 10, a portion of the fastening assembly 40 is embedded in the mounting cavity 2111, and another portion is embedded inside the housing 10. This not only achieves a stable connection between the display device 20 and the housing 10 but also ensures that the user cannot directly observe the fastening assembly 40 from the outside of the ice maker, forming a hidden connection structure and improving the overall aesthetics of the product.

[0034] As an example, the fastening assembly 40 may include a fixing bracket 41 and fasteners 42. The fixing bracket 41 includes a first fixing part 411 and at least two second fixing parts 412 spaced apart from each other. The first fixing part 411 is connected between the at least two second fixing parts 412. The first fixing part 411 is connected to the housing 10 by the fasteners 42, and the second fixing parts 412 are connected to the connecting part 211 by the fasteners 42. Specifically, the first fixing part 411 is used to connect to the housing 10. When the fastening assembly 40 is installed, the first fixing part 411 is fitted against the housing 10. The first fixing part 411 has a plurality of first connecting holes 4111, and the housing 10 has a plurality of first mating holes 1011 corresponding to the first connecting holes 4111. The fasteners 42 may be connecting bolts, and there may be a plurality of them. The plurality of fasteners 42 pass through the corresponding first connecting holes 4111 and first mating holes 1011 in sequence to fix the first fixing part 411 to the housing 10. The second fixing part 412 is used to connect the display housing 21. The second fixing part 412 is embedded in the connecting part 211 and protrudes towards the mounting part 212, thereby forming a structure in which the display bracket 222 can be completely hidden inside the display housing 21 and the cabinet 10, improving the overall aesthetics of the product. The second fixing part 412 has a second connecting hole 4121, and the connecting part 211 has a second mating hole 2111 corresponding to the second connecting hole 4121. The fastener 42 passes through the second connecting hole 4121 and the second mating hole 2111 in sequence to fix the second fixing part 412 to the connecting part 211.

[0035] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the first fixing part 411 and the second fixing part 412 can also be fastened to the housing 10 and the connecting part 211 respectively by setting buckles, thereby avoiding the opening of holes and exposing bolts and other connecting parts to the user's view, further improving the aesthetics of the ice-making equipment 100. It is understood that at least two adjacent second fixing parts 412 can be located on the same side of the first fixing part 411 or on different sides of the first fixing part 411. The number of second fixing parts 412 can be two or more. This embodiment does not impose a specific limitation on this and can be set according to actual needs.

[0036] In this embodiment, the size of the mounting portion 212 can be greater than or equal to the size of the connecting portion 211 so that the connecting portion 211 is blocked behind the mounting portion 212. Therefore, when the user observes the display surface 221, they can only see the display surface 221 and cannot directly observe the connecting portion 211, improving the user's visual experience. Specifically, the mounting portion 212 and the housing 10 are spaced apart, and the connecting portion 211 is located on the side of the mounting portion 212 facing the housing 10 and protrudes relative to the mounting portion 212. Since the size of the mounting portion 212 is greater than or equal to the size of the connecting portion 211, when the mounting portion 212 is projected onto the plane where the connecting portion 211 is located, the projection of the mounting portion 212 completely covers the projection of the connecting portion 211. Therefore, when the user observes from the front, the connecting portion 211 will not appear in the user's line of sight. Furthermore, the fastener 42 connecting the fixed bracket 41 and the connecting part 211 is exposed on the surface of the connecting part 211. On the one hand, it can achieve a tight connection between the fixed bracket 41 and the connecting part 211; on the other hand, the fastener 42 embedded in the connecting part 211 can make the surface of the connecting part 211 flatter, improving the user's visual experience.

[0037] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 To facilitate user viewing, in this embodiment, the connecting part 211 is configured as a connector of a certain size so that the display device 20 protrudes relative to the housing 10. As an example, the housing 10 has a connecting surface 11 for connecting the connecting part 211. The connecting surface 11 can be the outer surface of the housing 10 or a mounting surface disposed on the outer surface. When the housing 10 is disposed on a horizontal plane, the connecting surface 11 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The connecting part 211 is disposed between the connecting surface 11 and the mounting part 212 and has a certain length to separate the two, thereby causing the display device 20 to protrude relative to the housing 10. This facilitates quick positioning of the display device 20 by the user, improving operational convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, the protruding display device 20 provides the user with more operating space, improving operational accuracy and comfort. This embodiment does not limit the length of the connecting portion 211, that is, it does not limit the distance between the mounting portion 212 and the connecting surface 11. As an example only, the length of the connecting portion 211 is greater than or equal to 75mm and less than or equal to 85mm; for example, the length of the connecting portion 211 is 80mm. It is understood that the length of the connecting portion 211 can also be other values, and can be set according to actual usage requirements. Please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The display component 22 is a device in the display device 20 used to display information. It has a display surface 221, which is disposed away from the connecting portion 211, i.e., facing the user. The display component 22 includes a display bracket 222 and a display screen 223. The display bracket 222 is used to mount the display screen 223, which is disposed within the mounting portion 212 and connected to the display housing 21. The display screen 223 is used to display information, and the display surface 221 is formed on the side of the display screen 223 away from the connecting portion 211. To further improve the user experience, in this embodiment, the display component 22 is disposed at an angle upward within the mounting portion 212, so that the display surface 221 is tilted upward relative to the user, so as to better adapt to the user's natural line of sight and improve the user's viewing comfort and interactive experience. "Upward" can be understood as the display surface 221 being disposed away from the work surface of the supporting housing, such as a desktop or the ground, i.e., the display plane is facing the user.

[0038] Specifically, the display surface 221 has a first end 2211 and a second end 2212 that are opposite to each other. In the direction of gravity, the position height of the first end 2211 is higher than that of the second end 2212. In the working state, the display assembly 22 is tilted and fixed in the mounting part 212, such that the angle between the display surface 221 and the horizontal plane is an acute angle. The distance between the first end 2211 and the connecting surface 11 of the housing 10 is smaller than the distance between the second end 2212 and the connecting surface 11 of the housing 10. That is, when the user's eyes are facing the display surface 221, the distance between the first end 2211 and the user is greater than the distance between the second end 2212 and the user. Thus, the display surface 221 is tilted upward relative to the horizontal plane to facilitate receiving the user's natural line of sight, reducing the number of times the user needs to adjust their posture or observe from uncomfortable angles, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of operation. The tilted upward display surface 221 can also better reflect light and reduce glare, thereby improving the clarity and readability of the displayed content. Furthermore, the upward-sloping display surface 221 allows liquids dripping onto the display device 20 to slide off more easily, reducing the risk of liquid contact and corrosion of the display component 22, while also extending the overall lifespan of the device. This embodiment does not limit the specific value of the angle between the display surface 221 and the horizontal plane; it can be set according to specific usage requirements. As an example only, the angle between the display surface 221 and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 80°. For example, the angle between the display surface 221 and the horizontal plane is 75°, which means the angle between the display surface 221 and the connecting surface 11 is 15°.

[0039] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6To facilitate the installation of the display screen 223, in this embodiment, a mounting groove 2221 is provided on the side of the display bracket 222 facing away from the connecting portion 211, and the display screen 223 is disposed in the mounting groove 2221. Specifically, the display bracket 222 has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other. The first surface is positioned facing away from the connecting portion 211, i.e., facing the user. The mounting groove 2221 is provided on the first surface, and the display screen 223 is accommodated in the mounting groove 2221, making the surface of the display screen 223 flush with the first surface. This reduces the overall volume of the display assembly 22 and maintains the flatness of the display surface 221.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, to improve the connection strength of the display component 22 within the mounting groove 2221, the display component 22 may further include a sealing connector 23. The sealing connector 23 is disposed within the mounting groove 2221 and abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting groove 2221 and the display screen 223, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the display component 22 and the display bracket 222. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the sealing connector 23; for example, the sealing connector 23 may be sealant, an adhesive-backed gasket, or sealing foam. As an example, the sealing connector 23 includes sealing foam, which is filled within the mounting groove 2221. The surface of the sealing foam is coated with adhesive to form a sealing layer between the bottom wall of the mounting groove and the display screen 223. This effectively prevents dust, impurities, and moisture from contacting the electronic components inside the display assembly 22, thus keeping the display assembly 22 clean and dry and extending its service life. Furthermore, the sealing foam provides thermal insulation, reducing heat conduction from the display screen 223 to the mounting groove 2221 or other electronic components, thereby minimizing the impact of heat on these components and further extending the lifespan of the display assembly 22. In addition, the sealing foam reduces the movement of the display screen 223 within the mounting groove 2221, improving the overall stability of the display assembly 22.

[0041] In some embodiments, the sealing connector 23 may further include a plurality of end-to-end sealing portions 231 to further enhance the sealing performance of the display component 22. As a specific example, the plurality of sealing portions 231 together form a rectangular sealing ring and are clamped between the display screen 223 and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 2221. This effectively prevents dust, impurities, or moisture from entering the display component 22 from any location, reducing malfunctions caused by moisture or liquid contact with electronic components and improving the waterproof performance and sealing reliability of the display component 22. It is understood that the sealing ring formed by the plurality of sealing portions 231 can also be other shapes, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0042] In this embodiment, the display component 22 further includes a circuit board 24 and conductive cotton 241. The conductive cotton 241 is disposed on the circuit board 24, which is located on the side of the display component 22 facing away from the display screen 223. The display screen 223 is electrically connected to the circuit board 24 via the conductive cotton 241. Specifically, the display bracket 222 has a connecting groove 2222 that penetrates the first surface and the second surface and connects to the mounting groove 2221. The conductive cotton 241 is used to transmit signals from the circuit board 24 to the display screen 223, ensuring the normal operation of the display function. The conductive cotton 241 passing through the connecting groove 2222 and being electrically connected to the display screen 223 not only ensures efficient signal transmission but also reduces the complex wiring requirements and production costs of the display component 22, while improving assembly efficiency and reliability.

[0043] In this embodiment, the display device 20 further includes a protective panel 25, which is disposed on the display surface 221 and covers the mounting portion 212 to protect the display component 22. The display panel is light-transmitting and can be made of high-strength transparent materials, such as tempered glass or transparent plastic, which not only protects the display screen 223 from external physical damage but also ensures that the displayed information is clearly visible. The display device 20 may also include a waterproof sealing layer 26, which prevents dust, impurities, and moisture from entering the interior of the display device 20. Specifically, the protective panel 25 and the display component 22 are respectively attached to both sides of the waterproof sealing layer 26. The waterproof sealing layer 26 can completely cover the surface and edges of the display component 22 and effectively prevent moisture from entering the interior of the display component 22 from any direction. This embodiment does not limit the specific type of the waterproof sealing layer 26, and it may include at least any one of the following structures: sealant, sealing ring, sealing gasket, etc. As a specific example, the waterproof sealant 26 may include a sealant with high adhesion and elasticity, capable of adhering tightly to the surfaces of the protective panel 25 and the display component 22 to form a continuous waterproof barrier. The sealant not only fills the tiny gaps between the protective panel 25 and the display component 22, but also maintains its waterproof sealing performance after curing, ensuring that the display component 22 remains dry in humid environments.

[0044] In summary, this application provides an ice-making device 100, which includes a housing 10 and a display device 20. The display device 20 includes a display housing 21 and a display component 22. The display device 20 is detachably connected to the housing 10, facilitating its installation and maintenance. In this embodiment, the display device 20 protrudes relative to the housing 10, allowing users to quickly locate it and improving operational convenience and efficiency. Furthermore, the protruding display device 20 provides users with more operating space, improving operational accuracy and comfort. Further, the display component 22 has a display surface 221. In operation, the angle between the display surface 221 and the horizontal plane is acute, and it is tilted upwards relative to the horizontal plane. This better adapts to the user's natural line of sight, improving viewing comfort and interactive experience. Additionally, the tilted display surface 221 better reflects light and reduces glare, thereby improving the clarity and readability of the displayed content. At the same time, the tilted display surface 221 makes it easier for liquids dripping onto the display device 20 to slide off, reducing the risk of liquid contact and corrosion of the display components 22, while improving the overall service life of the device.
