[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an ice-making mold that facilitates ice removal. The ice-making mold that facilitates ice removal includes:

[0024] The upper mold 1 has a water inlet 2 at the center of its top. A threaded ring 3 is fixed to the bottom of the upper mold 1. The lower mold 4 is located below the upper mold 1. A sealing ring 5 is located at the top of the lower mold 4. Square grooves 6 are located on both sides of the lower mold 4. A vertically sliding fixing block 7 is located inside the lower mold 4. Fixing rods 8 are fixed on both sides of the fixing block 7. A connecting rod 10 is fixed on the side of the fixing rod 8 closest to the upper mold 1. A connecting spring 9 is fixed on the side of the fixing rod 8 away from the connecting rod 10. A pushing block 11 is fixed at one end of the connecting rod 10. An elastic cloth 12 is provided on the inner side wall of the lower mold 4 at the position opposite to the pushing block 11. A threaded groove 13 is located at the top of the lower mold 4 and is threadedly connected to the threaded ring 3.

[0025] One end of the fixing rod 8 on one side of the fixing block 7 is fixed with a rivet block 15, and one end of the fixing rod 8 on the other side of the fixing block 7 is provided with a rivet groove 14. The rivet groove 14 and the rivet block 15 form a mortise and tenon structure.

[0026] It should be noted that the rivet block and the rivet groove form a mortise and tenon structure, which provides a stable connection, making it less likely for them to fall off or loosen during use. Mortise and tenon structures are commonly used in mechanical design to achieve tight connections while facilitating disassembly.

[0027] The two sides of the fixing rod 8 are in contact with the inner side of the square groove 6, and the fixing rod 8 is slidably connected to the square groove 6;

[0028] It should be noted that the two sides of the fixing rod fit tightly against the inner side of the square groove, and they are slidably connected. The fixing rod can move within the square groove to adapt to different operational needs.

[0029] Four connecting springs 9 are symmetrically and equidistantly distributed at the bottom end of the fixed rod 8;

[0030] It should be noted that by pulling the fixed rod 8 with multiple connecting springs 9, the fixed rod 8 can be kept in a stable position when it is not pushed and can be automatically reset.

[0031] The shape of the side of the push block 11 closest to the elastic cloth 12 is the same as the shape of the inner wall of the lower mold 4;

[0032] It should be noted that the shape of one side of the push block 11 is consistent with the inner wall shape of the lower mold 4. The purpose of this design is to ensure a tight fit between the push block and the lower mold, so as to effectively transmit pressure or motion during operation, avoid unnecessary friction or unstable connection, help improve the sealing and overall performance of the mold, and make the operation during the production process more stable.

[0033] The elastic cloth 12 is made of silicone, and the outer side of the elastic cloth 12 is tightly fitted to the inner side of the lower mold 4.

[0034] It should be noted that silicone material has good elasticity and durability, and can withstand a certain amount of tension and pressure. Silicone material can effectively seal and reduce leakage, while improving the wear resistance of mold parts.

[0035] The shape of the threaded ring 3 is the same as the inner shape of the threaded groove 13, and the side of the threaded ring 3 fits tightly against the inner side of the threaded groove 13.

[0036] It should be noted that the threaded ring and the threaded groove are shaped to ensure that they do not become loose or misaligned when connected, which helps to improve the stability and sealing of the mold and prevent liquid or gas leakage.

[0037] The working principle of the ice-making mold for easy ice removal provided by this utility model is as follows: The user injects water into the cavity between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 4 through the water inlet 2. After the water is injected, the entire mold system is temporarily sealed to ensure that the water does not leak out. At this time, the water enters the cavity inside the mold and begins to cool and freeze. After a certain period of time, the water is completely frozen into solid ice. During this process, the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 4 together form a sealed closed space, which can ensure the accuracy and uniformity of ice block formation.

[0038] During the freezing process, to prevent the ice from sticking to the mold, the user can rotate the upper mold 1. This rotation causes the threaded ring 3 in the upper mold 1 to disengage from the threaded groove 13 in the lower mold 4, thus separating the upper and lower molds. Due to the threaded design, rotating the upper mold 1 not only disengages the upper and lower molds but also prevents the ice from sticking to the mold surface. This design ensures that when the ice is removed, the mold will not damage the ice or affect the removal speed due to adhesion issues.

[0039] When the ice cube is completely frozen and ready to be removed, the user can push the fixing rod 8. Pushing the fixing rod 8 will drive the connecting rod 10, which in turn will push the pushing block 11. The pushing block 11 applies uniform elastic pressure to the ice cube through the elastic cloth 12. The elastic cloth 12 is precisely fitted to the surface of the ice cube according to the shape of the pushing block 11, ensuring that the ice cube is not damaged, while the elastic deformation allows the ice cube to be smoothly pushed out of the lower mold 4. This design can effectively reduce the impact force on the ice cube when it is removed, thereby ensuring the integrity and quality of the ice cube's appearance.

[0040] To ensure the overall sealing of the mold and prevent moisture leakage, the sealing ring 5 provides an additional sealing function between the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 4. This not only prevents moisture leakage but also effectively ensures the consistency of the ice cubes' shape and size in each use. Through the design of the sealing ring 5, users can avoid the problem of inconsistent ice cube quality caused by moisture leakage, ensuring that each batch of ice cubes has a stable and high-quality shape.

[0041] Furthermore, the engagement between the riveting grooves 14 at both ends of the fixing rod 8 and the riveting blocks 15 allows for modular connection between multiple molds. This modular design enables users to flexibly connect multiple molds for mass production according to different production needs. Through this design, users can efficiently increase production volume and flexibly adjust mold combinations according to different scale requirements, greatly improving work efficiency and production flexibility. This convenient mold connection method allows users to not only start production quickly but also easily disassemble and clean the molds, maintaining high production efficiency and convenience.

[0042] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
