Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice making, and provides an ice mold assembly, an ice maker, and a refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] Spherical ice makers are devices specifically designed to produce spherical ice cubes. Traditional spherical ice makers have water channels between adjacent ice trays to ensure that water flows evenly to each tray during the filling process. However, in actual operation, if residual water remains in the water channels, it can easily result in larger edges on the ice cubes, especially during unfreezing. This can cause ice cubes to stick together between multiple trays, affecting not only the appearance of the ice cubes but also increasing the difficulty of unfreezing them. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides an ice mold assembly to solve the defect in related technologies where spherical ice pieces easily stick together, making them impossible to remove.

[0004] This utility model embodiment also provides an ice maker.

[0005] This utility model embodiment also provides a refrigeration device.

[0006] The first aspect of this utility model provides an ice mold assembly, comprising:

[0007] First ice mold;

[0008] The second ice mold is rotatably connected to the first ice mold. The side of the second ice mold facing away from the first ice mold is provided with an abutment that is offset from the central axis of the second ice mold. The second ice mold is adapted to switch between a fitted position and a separated position relative to the first ice mold. In the fitted position, the first ice mold and the second ice mold surround to form an ice-making space. In the separated position, the abutment is used to cooperate with the abutment position of the ice maker to remove the ice cubes from the second ice mold.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the extending direction of the abutment is deflected toward the direction of the rotation axis between the first ice mold and the second ice mold.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the abutment facing away from the second ice-making mold has an abutment surface, and the shape of the abutment surface is adapted to the shape of the abutment position.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an ice-pushing rod is provided on the first ice-making mold, and at least one of the first ice-making mold and the second ice-making mold forms a water channel. A stop extending toward the interior of the water channel is formed on the edge of the water channel. From the contact position to the separation position, at least a portion of the ice-pushing rod is adapted to extend into the first ice-making mold so that the stop forms a stress concentration area in the water channel to achieve ice removal.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least two first ice-making grids are formed in the first ice-making mold, at least two second ice-making grids are formed in the second ice-making mold, and the water channel is formed between two adjacent first ice-making grids, and / or the water channel is formed between two adjacent second ice-making grids.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, along the depth direction of the water passage, the height of the baffle is less than or equal to the depth of the water passage.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the water passage includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to each other, and the baffle is formed in at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are two blocks, one of which is formed on the first side of the first groove sidewall and the other is formed on the second side of the second groove sidewall;

[0016] The first side of the first groove sidewall and the second side of the second groove sidewall are respectively offset.

[0017] A second aspect of this utility model provides an ice maker, including the ice mold assembly as described above.

[0018] A third aspect of this utility model provides a refrigeration device, including a refrigeration chamber, wherein an ice mold assembly as described above is disposed in the refrigeration chamber;

[0019] or,

[0020] The refrigeration room is equipped with an ice maker as described above.

[0021] According to the ice mold assembly provided in the first aspect of this utility model, the first ice mold and the second ice mold can be rotated and switched, making the opening and closing operation of the ice-making space simple and easy to control. When making spherical ice blocks, the second ice mold switches to the fitting position and surrounds the first ice mold to form an ice-making space; after ice making is completed, the second ice mold switches to the separating position, and the ice can be removed by the cooperation of the abutment joint and the abutment position on the ice maker, without the need for complicated manual demolding operations, greatly improving ice-making efficiency. The abutment joint and the central axis of the second ice mold are offset. This design allows the abutment joint and the abutment position to cooperate during the ice removal process. Due to the special extension direction of the abutment joint, the force applied by the abutment position can be more effectively transmitted to the second ice mold, so that the second ice mold can better distribute the force to the spherical ice when under force, causing the spherical ice block to be removed, and avoiding the situation where the second ice mold is unevenly stressed and unable to remove the ice. Furthermore, due to the inclined design of the abutment joint, when the water injection is insufficient and only small ice blocks form at the bottom of the second ice-making mold, the spherical ice blocks in the second ice-making mold can still be forcefully detached as the abutment joint and the contact point cooperate, reducing the occurrence of unsmooth ice removal. The inclined design of the abutment joint optimizes the force transmission when the abutment joint and the contact point cooperate, improving the efficiency and effect of ice removal, reducing the possibility of spherical ice blocks not being completely detached or being damaged due to uneven force, and enhancing the overall performance of the ice-making equipment.

[0022] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the ice maker employs the aforementioned ice mold assembly, resulting in a highly efficient and smooth ice removal process, significantly shortening the ice-making cycle. Compared to traditional ice makers, it reduces ice removal time and can produce spherical ice cubes more quickly, meeting users' rapid demand for spherical ice cubes.

[0023] According to the refrigeration equipment provided in the third aspect embodiment of this utility model, whether directly configured with ice mold components or an ice maker, the stable low-temperature environment provided by the refrigeration chamber offers excellent conditions for the ice-making process, accelerating the freezing speed of water and improving ice-making efficiency. Compared to ice-making in ordinary environments, ice-making in the refrigeration chamber can significantly shorten the ice-making time. The stable low-temperature environment helps to form spherical ice blocks with uniform texture and high transparency. Moreover, the special design of the ice mold components ensures the integrity of the spherical ice blocks during the de-icing process, resulting in higher quality spherical ice blocks.

[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the first aspect of this utility model provides an ice mold assembly, comprising:

[0036] First ice mold 100;

[0037] The second ice mold 102 is rotatably connected to the first ice mold 100. The side of the second ice mold 102 away from the first ice mold 100 is provided with an abutment 104 that is offset from the central axis of the second ice mold 102. The second ice mold 102 is adapted to switch between a fitting position and a separating position relative to the first ice mold 100. In the fitting position, the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 102 surround to form an ice-making space. In the separating position, the abutment 104 is used to cooperate with the abutment position 106 of the ice maker to remove the ice cubes from the second ice mold 102.

[0038] According to the ice mold assembly provided in the first aspect of this utility model, the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 102 can be rotated and switched, making the opening and closing operation of the ice-making space simple and easy to control. When making spherical ice blocks, the second ice mold 102 is switched to the fitting position and surrounds the first ice mold 100 to form an ice-making space; after ice making is completed, the second ice mold 102 is switched to the separating position, and the ice can be removed by the cooperation of the abutment joint 104 and the abutment position 106 on the ice maker, without the need for complicated manual demolding operations, which greatly improves the ice-making efficiency. The abutment joint 104 is offset from the central axis of the second ice-making mold 102. This design allows the abutment joint 104 and the abutment position 106 to cooperate during the ice removal process. Due to the special extension direction of the abutment joint 104, the force applied by the abutment position 106 can be more effectively transmitted to the second ice-making mold 102. This allows the second ice-making mold 102 to better distribute the force to the spherical ice when under force, promoting the spherical ice block to detach and avoiding the situation where the second ice-making mold 102 cannot detach due to uneven force. In addition, due to the inclined setting of the abutment joint 104, when the water volume is insufficient and only small ice blocks are formed at the bottom of the second ice-making mold 102, the spherical ice blocks in the second ice-making mold 102 can also be detached by force with the cooperation of the abutment joint 104 and the abutment position 106, reducing the occurrence of unsmooth ice removal. The inclined extension direction of the abutment 104 optimizes the force transmission when the abutment 104 and the abutment position 106 are engaged, improves the efficiency and effect of ice removal, reduces the situation where spherical ice blocks cannot be completely removed or are damaged due to uneven force, and improves the overall performance of the ice-making equipment.

[0039] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 7 The ice mold assembly provided in the first aspect of this utility model is mainly composed of a first ice mold 100 and a second ice mold 102.

[0040] The first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold 102 are connected by a rotatable connection, which improves the connection stability between the second ice-making mold 102 and the first ice-making mold 100. Thus, the second ice-making mold 102 can switch between a fitted position and a separated position relative to the first ice-making mold 100. When the second ice-making mold 102 is in the fitted position, the first and second ice-making molds cooperate to create a closed ice-making space. Within this ice-making space, water is injected and then gradually cooled by the refrigeration system, eventually forming spherical ice blocks.

[0041] When it is necessary to remove ice, the second ice mold 102 switches from the fitted position to the separated position. At this time, the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 102 are relatively far apart and both the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 102 are in a state where they can be removed from ice.

[0042] A stop 104 is provided on the side of the second ice mold 102 away from the first ice mold 100. The position of the stop 104 is not coincident with the central axis of the second ice mold 102, but is offset from the central axis of the second ice mold 102. When the second ice mold 102 rotates to the separation position, the stop 104 on the second ice mold 102 can precisely engage with the abutment position 106 on the ice maker. During the engagement, the abutment position 106 applies an external force to the stop 104. Due to the connection between the stop 104 and the second ice mold 102, this external force can be transmitted to the second ice mold 102, thereby using this external force to smoothly remove the already formed spherical ice block inside the second ice mold 102.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the extending direction of the abutment 104 is deflected toward the direction of the rotation axis between the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 102.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the extending direction of the abutment 104 is deviated toward the direction of the rotation axis between the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 102, it means that the abutment 104 does not extend in a direction perpendicular to or parallel to the central axis of the second ice mold 102.

[0045] After ice making is complete, the second ice mold 102 is rotated to the separation position, at which point the abutment 104 engages with the abutment position 106 of the ice maker. Since the abutment 104 extends at an angle towards the rotation axis, when the abutment position 106 applies force to the abutment 104, this force will generate a component force along the angled direction. This component force not only tends to move the second ice mold 102 away from the abutment position 106 of the ice maker, but also, due to the angled direction towards the rotation axis, generates a torque around the rotation axis on the second ice mold 102. This torque helps the second ice mold 102 to rotate or deform to a certain extent, thereby distributing the reaction force applied to the second ice mold 102 by the abutment position 106 more evenly across the second ice mold 102, thus facilitating the removal of the spherical ice cubes from the second ice mold 102.

[0046] Understandably, the torque generated by the angled design of the abutment joint 104 allows for more effective rotation or deformation of the second ice mold 102, facilitating ice removal, when it engages with the abutment position 106 of the ice maker. Compared to ordinary abutment methods, this design uses less external force to remove the spherical ice cubes, improving removal efficiency and reducing the time and energy consumption required. Secondly, because the spherical ice cubes are removed using a reasonable torque, rather than simply being squeezed or forcibly pulled, damage to the second ice mold 102 is reduced, extending its service life. Simultaneously, it reduces the probability of the spherical ice cubes breaking due to excessive uneven forces during removal, ensuring their integrity and quality. Thirdly, the angled design of the abutment joint 104 towards the rotation axis allows for a more compact layout of the ice mold assembly within the ice maker. This angled design prevents the abutment joint 104 from occupying excessive unnecessary space within the ice maker, contributing to optimized internal structural design and improved space utilization.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an abutment surface 108 is formed at one end of the abutment joint 104 away from the second ice-making mold 102, and the shape of the abutment surface 108 is adapted to the shape of the abutment position 106.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, when the abutment 104 and the abutment position 106 are engaged, the abutment surface 108 and the abutment position 106 are tightly fitted together, ensuring that the force transmission between the two is more uniform and stable. For example, if the abutment position 106 is a circular protrusion, the abutment surface 108 is designed as a matching circular groove, so that the force required for de-icing can be better transmitted when the two are in contact.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an ice pusher 110 is provided on the first ice mold 100, and at least one of the first ice mold 100 and the second ice mold 102 forms a water channel 112. A stop block 114 extending toward the interior of the water channel 112 is formed on the edge of the water channel 112. From the contact position to the separation position, at least part of the ice pusher 110 is adapted to extend into the first ice mold 100 so that the stop block 114 forms a stress concentration area in the water channel 112 to achieve ice removal.

[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, a water channel 112 is provided on at least one of the first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold 102, and a stop 114 extending toward the inside of the water channel 112 is provided at the edge of the water channel 112. The second ice-making mold 102 can switch between a fitted position and a separated position relative to the first ice-making mold 100.

[0051] When the second ice-making mold 102 is in the fitted position, the first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold 102 cooperate to form a closed ice-making space. Within this ice-making space, water is injected and gradually cooled by the refrigeration system, eventually forming spherical ice blocks. At this time, the water tank 112 also participates in the ice-making process, and the spherical ice blocks fill the water tank 112 and the entire ice-making space.

[0052] When ice removal is required, the second ice mold 102 switches from the mating position to the separating position. During this process, at least part of the push rod 110 extends into the first ice mold 100. The insertion of the push rod 110 exerts a force on the spherical ice block in the water channel 112, and the presence of the stop block 114 causes this force to form a stress concentration zone in the water channel 112. Since the stop block 114 extends from the edge of the water channel 112 inward, when the push rod 110 pushes the spherical ice block, the stop block 114 hinders the movement of the spherical ice block, thereby generating greater stress around the stop block 114. This stress concentration causes the spherical ice block to crack or loosen at the water channel 112, making it easier for the spherical ice block to be removed from the ice mold and preventing the spherical ice block from sticking together at the water channel 112.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least two first ice-making grids 116 are formed in the first ice-making mold 100, at least two second ice-making grids 118 are formed in the second ice-making mold 102, a water channel 112 is formed between two adjacent first ice-making grids 116, and / or, the water channel 112 is formed between two adjacent second ice-making grids 118.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, a first ice grid 116 is formed in the first ice mold 100, a second ice grid 118 is formed in the second ice mold 102, and a water channel 112 is formed between two adjacent first ice grids 116 and / or two adjacent second ice grids 118.

[0055] Taking the water channel 112 formed between two adjacent first ice-making grids 116 as an example, during ice making, water is injected into the ice-making space formed by the first ice-making mold 100 and the second ice-making mold 102. At the water channel 112 between the two adjacent first ice-making grids 116, spherical ice blocks gradually take shape during the ice-making process. When it is necessary to remove the ice, the second ice-making mold 102 switches from the contact position to the separation position relative to the first ice-making mold 100, and the ice pusher 110 extends into the first ice-making mold 100. The stop block 114 is subjected to the stress generated by the movement of the ice pusher 110 in the water channel 112. Since the stop block 114 is located at the edge of the water channel 112 between the adjacent first ice-making grids 116, the spherical ice blocks are more likely to experience stress concentration at the water channel 112.

[0056] This design makes it easier to separate spherical ice cubes between adjacent first ice trays 116 during ice removal, effectively reducing the sticking of spherical ice cubes. Compared to traditional ice boxes, it greatly reduces the difficulty of ice removal, improves ice-making efficiency, and produces more regular and aesthetically pleasing spherical ice cubes, enhancing the product's practicality and user experience.

[0057] Similarly, when the water trough 112 is formed between two adjacent second ice-making grids 118, or when the water trough 112 is formed between two adjacent first ice-making grids 116 and between two adjacent second ice-making grids 118, the de-icing principle is the same, and will not be elaborated here.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, along the depth direction of the water channel 112, the height of the stop 114 is less than or equal to the depth of the water channel 112.

[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, in a plane perpendicular to the figure, the height of the stop 114 is less than or equal to the depth of the water channel 112. When the second ice mold 102 and the first ice mold 100 are in contact during ice making, the stop 114 will not protrude too much from the water channel 112, thus affecting the integrity of the ice making space. During the ice removal process, the ice pusher 110 acts on the first ice mold 100, and the stop 114 is subjected to stress within the water channel 112. Due to the relationship between the height of the stop 114 and the depth of the water channel 112, a stress concentration area can be effectively formed in the water channel 112 without excessively hindering the formation of spherical ice blocks.

[0060] The optimal height of the baffle 114 ensures both the proper use of the ice-making space and effective stress concentration during ice removal. A baffle 114 that is too high will not interfere with the normal ice-making process of spherical ice blocks, nor one that is too low will prevent effective stress concentration during ice removal, thus further optimizing the ice removal effect and ensuring the smooth progress of the ice-making process.

[0061] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the water passage 112 includes opposing first channel sidewalls 120 and second channel sidewalls 122, and a baffle 114 is formed in at least one of the first channel sidewalls 120 and the second channel sidewalls 122.

[0062] In one embodiment of this utility model, assuming that the stop 114 is formed on the side wall 120 of the first groove, during ice making, the area where the water channel 112 and the stop 114 are located normally participates in ice making. When the second ice-making mold 102 switches from the contact position to the separation position relative to the first ice-making mold 100, and the ice pusher 110 is actuated, the stop 114 located on the side wall 120 of the first groove will be subjected to force, forming a stress concentration area in the water channel 112, causing the spherical ice block to crack in this area, making it easier to remove the ice.

[0063] This design increases the flexibility of the baffle 114 placement. Whether the baffle 114 is placed on the first groove sidewall 120 or the second groove sidewall 122, the stress concentration effect during ice removal can be achieved. This allows the ice mold assembly to meet the ice removal requirements under different design needs, improving the product's applicability and versatility.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are two blocks 114, one block 114 is formed on the first side of the first groove sidewall 120, and the other block 114 is formed on the second side of the second groove sidewall 122; wherein the first side of the first groove sidewall 120 and the second side of the second groove sidewall 122 are relatively offset.

[0065] In one embodiment of this invention, during the ice-making process, the two baffles 114 are located at different positions but are both on the edge of the water channel 112. When the ice is removed, the ice pusher 110 is activated, and the two staggered baffles 114 generate stress in the water channel 112, causing the spherical ice block to be subjected to stress simultaneously at different positions in the water channel 112.

[0066] The two staggered baffles 114 work together to create a more comprehensive stress concentration zone in the water channel 112. Compared to a single baffle 114, this results in better ice removal, and spherical ice blocks are more easily separated from the water channel 112. This further reduces the possibility of spherical ice blocks sticking together, improves the success rate and efficiency of ice removal, and enhances the performance of the ice-making product.

[0067] Of course, in some other embodiments, the two blocks 114 can be formed on the same side of the first channel sidewall 120 and the second channel sidewall 122, respectively. Alternatively, the number of blocks 114 can be flexibly set according to the width of the water passage 112. For example, two blocks 114 can be spaced apart on the first channel sidewall 120 along the width direction of the water passage 112, and similarly, two blocks 114 can be spaced apart on the second channel sidewall 122.

[0068] A second aspect of this utility model provides an ice maker, including the ice mold assembly as described above.

[0069] The ice maker provided in the second aspect of this utility model integrates the aforementioned ice mold assembly in its overall structure. In addition to the ice mold assembly, it is also equipped with a conventional refrigeration system, a water supply system, and a control system. The refrigeration system is responsible for providing a low-temperature environment for the ice-making process, enabling the water inside the ice mold assembly to freeze into ice. The water supply system is used to precisely supply water to the ice mold assembly, ensuring that there is an appropriate amount of water inside the ice mold assembly each time ice is made. The control system is used to control the operation of various parts of the ice maker, including controlling the opening and closing of the ice mold assembly, the start and stop of the refrigeration system, and the water supply volume of the water supply system.

[0070] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the ice maker employs the aforementioned ice mold assembly, resulting in a highly efficient and smooth ice removal process, significantly shortening the ice-making cycle. Compared to traditional ice makers, it reduces ice removal time and can produce spherical ice cubes more quickly, meeting users' rapid demand for spherical ice cubes.

[0071] A third aspect of this utility model provides a refrigeration device, including a refrigeration chamber, in which an ice mold assembly as described above is disposed;

[0072] or,

[0073] The refrigeration room is equipped with an ice maker as described above.

[0074] The refrigeration equipment provided in the third aspect of this utility model includes a refrigeration chamber, which provides a low-temperature environment to meet the storage or ice-making needs of items.

[0075] When the aforementioned ice mold assembly is integrated into the refrigeration chamber, the ice mold assembly is placed within the refrigeration chamber to fully utilize the low-temperature environment of the refrigeration chamber for ice making. The refrigeration system continuously lowers the temperature of the refrigeration chamber, allowing the water in the ice mold assembly to freeze into ice at a suitable low temperature.

[0076] When the ice maker described above is integrated into the refrigeration room, the entire ice maker is installed inside the refrigeration room. When ice making begins, the water supply system injects water into the ice-making space of the ice mold assembly, and the refrigeration system provides low temperature to freeze the water. After ice making is complete, the ice maker controls the ice mold assembly to remove the ice according to a preset program, and the removed spherical ice cubes can be directly stored in the ice storage box.

[0077] According to the refrigeration equipment provided in the third aspect embodiment of this utility model, whether directly configured with ice mold components or an ice maker, the stable low-temperature environment provided by the refrigeration chamber offers excellent conditions for the ice-making process, accelerating the freezing speed of water and improving ice-making efficiency. Compared to ice-making in ordinary environments, ice-making in the refrigeration chamber can significantly shorten the ice-making time. The stable low-temperature environment helps to form spherical ice blocks with uniform texture and high transparency. Moreover, the special design of the ice mold components ensures the integrity of the spherical ice blocks during the de-icing process, resulting in higher quality spherical ice blocks.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
