Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that uses a refrigerant in a refrigeration system to cool water through an evaporator to produce ice. The ice cubes produced by the ice maker are stored inside the machine for customers to use, and they are widely used in beverage shops, cafes, and ordinary households.

[0003] An ice maker mainly consists of a main body and an ice basket. The main body makes ice, and the ice basket holds the ice. For easy access, users need to pull the ice basket out of the maker. Current ice makers require a water collection box and a pull rod. The water collection box catches condensation dripping from the ice basket to prevent it from falling into the door gap, and the pull rod limits the door's opening angle to prevent the ice basket from falling directly onto the table. However, these ice makers are complex in structure, difficult to assemble, and offer a poor user experience.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an ice maker to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ice maker that prevents condensate from flowing into the door gaps, has a simple structure, simplifies parts and installation steps, effectively reduces costs, and optimizes the user experience.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Ice maker, including:

[0008] The housing has an inner cavity, and the housing also has an opening communicating with the inner cavity;

[0009] The door body is rotatably connected to the housing and is used to open or seal the opening;

[0010] An ice basket includes an ice basket body, a partition, and a connecting plate. The ice basket body is connected to the inner wall of the door. The connecting plate is connected between the bottom of the ice basket body and the partition. The width of the partition projected along the direction of gravity is greater than the width of the ice basket body projected along the direction of gravity. The end of the partition near the door extends toward the door and abuts against the inner wall of the door.

[0011] When the door rotates the ice basket body, the condensate generated on the outer wall of the ice basket body and the condensate generated on the inner wall of the door can both flow onto the partition.

[0012] Optionally, there is a gap between the ice basket body and the inner wall of the door, the partition extends out of the ice basket body to form an abutment, and a groove is provided on the door. When the ice basket body is connected to the door, the abutment can extend into the groove.

[0013] Optionally, the partition further includes an inclined portion that is angled to the abutment portion, the inclined portion being connected to the side of the abutment portion away from the door body, and the included angle between the inclined portion and the abutment portion being an obtuse angle.

[0014] Optionally, a limiting part is provided at one end of the inclined portion away from the abutting portion. The limiting part extends toward the bottom wall of the inner cavity. When the door body drives the ice basket to rotate to a first preset angle, the limiting part abuts against the side wall of the opening, so that the door body is positioned at the first preset angle.

[0015] Optionally, the limiting part and the inclined part are arranged at an angle, and the angle is not greater than 90°.

[0016] Optionally, the partition is further provided with a stop portion, which is provided on both sides in the width direction of the partition, and the stop portion extends from one end near the door body toward the limiting portion.

[0017] Optionally, the ice basket body includes a side panel and a bottom plate. The side panel surrounds the bottom plate to form an ice-containing cavity. The side panel is connected to the door. The connecting plate is disposed on the side of the bottom plate opposite to the side panel.

[0018] Optionally, at least a portion of the base plate is inclined to form a sloping panel, the sloping panel being located on the side of the base plate closer to the door body, and the distance between the sloping panel and the bottom wall of the inner cavity gradually decreasing in the direction away from the door body.

[0019] Optionally, a drainage hole is provided on the side of the base plate away from the door body.

[0020] Optionally, the door is provided with a hook, and the ice basket body is provided with a hook-hanging part, which can be detachably hung on the hook.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] In the ice maker provided by this utility model, the ice basket body is connected to the inner wall of the door. When the door seals the opening of the shell, the ice basket body is located in the inner cavity of the shell and can be used to store ice. When the ice basket body rotates synchronously with the door and opens the opening of the shell, the ice basket body is exposed, making it easy for the user to take out ice. The operation is simple and convenient. A partition is connected to the bottom of the ice basket body through a connecting plate. The width of the partition projected along the direction of gravity is greater than the width of the ice basket body projected along the direction of gravity, so that the condensate formed on the side wall and bottom of the ice basket body can flow along the partition into the inner cavity of the shell. Furthermore, the end of the partition near the door extends towards the door and abuts against the inner wall of the door. The condensate formed on the inner wall of the door by the low temperature of the ice in the ice basket body can flow along the inner wall of the door to the partition, and then flow into the inner cavity of the shell, without dripping into the gap between the door and the shell. In other words, whether the ice basket is located inside the shell or when it rotates with the door, the condensate generated on the outer wall of the ice basket and the condensate generated on the inner wall of the door can flow onto the partition, thereby achieving the collection and diversion of the condensate.

[0045] Figure 1A cross-sectional view of an ice maker provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 2 An enlarged view of a portion of the structure of the ice maker provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an ice maker that can be used to manufacture and store ice.

[0046] Specifically, the ice maker includes a housing 1, a door 2, an ice basket 3, an ice-making assembly, and a control module. The housing 1 has an inner cavity 11, and an opening communicating with the inner cavity 11. The ice-making assembly is located inside the housing 1 and includes a compressor and a condenser, among other devices for making ice cubes. The door 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 and is used to open or close the opening. The ice basket 3 is connected to the inner wall of the door 2, with its top ice-dispensing port facing the ice outlet of the ice-making assembly; the ice basket 3 is used to store ice cubes. The control module includes a control panel, buttons, or knobs mounted outside the housing 1, and a PLC controller or microcontroller located inside the housing 1. The control module communicates with the ice-making assembly to control it to make ice cubes according to the user's needs. The specific structure and control principle of the ice-making assembly and control module are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] In this embodiment, the bottom of the door 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. A first rotating connecting seat is provided at the bottom of the door 2, and a second rotating connecting seat is provided on the housing 1. The rotating shaft 12 rotatably passes through the first and second rotating connecting seats in sequence. The door 2 can rotate around the rotating shaft 12, allowing it to rotate relative to the housing 1 to a certain angle, or to fit against the side of the opening of the housing 1. When the door 2 fits against the side of the housing 1, it blocks the opening, and the ice basket 3 is located in the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1 for storing ice. When the door 2 rotates to a certain angle with the side of the housing 1, it opens the opening of the housing 1, and the ice basket 3 is exposed as the door 2 rotates, making it easy for the user to retrieve ice. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The door body 2 includes an inner door panel 21 and an outer door panel 22 that are parallel and spaced apart. An insulation layer 23 is filled between the inner door panel 21 and the outer door panel 22 to ensure the cold retention effect of the ice maker.

[0049] Furthermore, the top portions of the inner door panel 21 and the outer door panel 22 are hollow, forming a recessed handle 24. This handle 24 is a hidden design, making it less likely to be damaged during transportation, and also reducing the packaging volume and saving packaging costs.

[0050] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the first structure of the ice basket provided in this embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 4A schematic diagram of the second structure of the ice basket provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown; as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the ice basket 3 includes a connected ice basket body 31, a partition 32, and a connecting plate 33. The ice basket body 31 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the door 2 so as to rotate synchronously with the door 2. The partition 32 is connected to the bottom of the ice basket body 31 through the connecting plate 33. The width of the partition 32 projected along the direction of gravity is greater than the width of the ice basket body 31 projected along the direction of gravity, so that the condensate formed on the side wall and bottom of the ice basket body 31 can flow along the partition 32 into the inner cavity 11 of the shell 1. At the same time, the end of the partition 32 near the door 2 extends toward the door 2 and abuts against the inner wall of the door 2. With this arrangement, the condensate formed on the inner wall of the door 2 by the low temperature of the ice in the ice basket body 31 can flow along the inner wall of the door 2 onto the partition 32, and then into the inner cavity 11 of the shell 1, without dripping into the gap between the door 2 and the shell 1.

[0051] In other words, whether the ice basket 3 is located in the inner cavity 11 of the shell 1 or when the ice basket 3 rotates with the door 2, the condensate generated on the outer wall of the ice basket 3 and the condensate generated on the inner wall of the door 2 can flow onto the partition 32, thereby achieving the collection and diversion of condensate.

[0052] Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of the ice basket in a side view according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of the ice basket in an inclined state provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown; as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a hook 212 is provided on the inner door panel 21, and a hook portion 313 is provided on the ice basket body 31. The hook portion 313 can be detachably hung on the hook 212, thereby fixing the ice basket body 31 to the inside of the door 2. Since the weight of the ice basket body 31 and the ice blocks are transferred to the hook 212 on the inner door panel 21 through the hook portion 313, both the hook 212 and the hook portion 313 must have a certain width to ensure stability and reliability when bearing weight. Alternatively, multiple sets of hooks 212 and hook portions 313 can be arranged at intervals along the width direction, which can also ensure the stable load bearing of the ice basket body 31.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 There is a gap between the ice basket body 31 and the inner wall of the door 2. This gap serves to prevent the low temperature of the ice inside the ice basket body 31 from being directly transferred to the inner side of the door inner panel 21, and to prevent excessive condensation from forming at the position where the door inner panel 21 and the ice basket body 31 face each other. This would prevent condensation from dripping onto the rotating connection between the door inner panel 21 and the housing 1, causing problems such as equipment rusting or condensation leakage onto the external platform. The size of this gap can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the hook 212 and the door inner panel 21.

[0054] Furthermore, the partition 32 extends out of the ice basket body 31 to form an abutment portion 322, and a groove 211 is provided on the door body 2. When the ice basket body 31 is connected to the door body 2, the abutment portion 322 can extend into the groove 211. This arrangement ensures that the condensate on the inner door panel 21 drips onto the abutment portion 322 as it flows down the inner door panel 21, rather than flowing down the inner door panel 21 to the rotational connection between it and the housing 1.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, when the ice basket body 31 is connected to the door 2, the end of the abutment portion 322 abuts against the bottom of the groove 211. The abutment portion 322 abuts against the bottom of the groove 211, providing a certain supporting force to the ice basket body 31, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the ice basket body 31 and the inner door panel 21. Simultaneously, the abutment portion 322 also serves to limit the movement of the ice basket 3, preventing the bottom of the ice basket 3 near the door 2 from contacting the door 2, thus avoiding the generation of excessive condensation and water droplets on the inner wall of the door 2.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figures 2-4 The connecting plate 33 connects the partition 32 and the ice basket body 31. The support of the connecting plate 33 creates a certain gap between the bottom of the partition 32 and the bottom of the ice basket body 31, effectively preventing the low temperature of the ice basket body 31 from being directly transferred to the partition 32, thus avoiding condensation at the bottom of the partition 32. In addition, condensation on the side wall and bottom of the ice basket body 31 can drip onto the partition 32 and flow into the inner cavity 11 of the shell 1.

[0057] Specifically, the partition 32 also includes an inclined portion 323 that is angled to the abutment portion 322. The inclined portion 323 connects to the side of the abutment portion 322 away from the door body 2, and the included angle between the inclined portion 323 and the abutment portion 322 is an obtuse angle. The partition 32, the ice basket body 31, and the connecting plate 33 are integrally formed. This angular separation is for the needs of the demolding process. The demolding is performed by two sliders from the separation position between the inclined portion 323 and the abutment portion 322, which facilitates processing and manufacturing.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-5As shown, both the abutment portion 322 and the inclined portion 323 extend towards the bottom wall of the inner cavity 11 in a direction away from the door body 2, and the angle between the inclined portion 323 and the horizontal direction is greater than the angle between the abutment portion 322 and the horizontal direction. That is, the downward tilt angle of the inclined portion 323 is greater than the downward tilt angle of the abutment portion 322, and the opening of the angle at the junction of the inclined portion 323 and the abutment portion 322 faces the bottom wall of the inner cavity 11, and the distance between the inclined portion 323 and the bottom wall of the ice basket body 31 gradually increases. At this time, whether it is the condensate flowing from the outer wall of the ice basket body 31 to the partition 32, or the condensate flowing from the inner wall of the door body 2 to the abutment portion 322, it can all flow along the upper surface of the inclined portion 323 into the water storage basket in the inner cavity 11 under the guiding action of the inclined portion 323.

[0059] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 Along the direction away from the door body 2, the abutment portion 322 extends towards the bottom wall of the inner cavity 11, and the inclined portion 323 can also extend towards the bottom wall of the inner cavity 11, or the inclined portion 323 can be parallel to the horizontal direction. That is, the angle between the inclined portion 323 and the horizontal direction is smaller than the angle between the abutment portion 322 and the horizontal direction, and the opening of the angle at the junction of the inclined portion 323 and the abutment portion 322 faces the bottom wall of the ice basket body 31. At this time, the condensate flowing from the outer wall of the ice basket body 31 to the partition 32, or the condensate flowing from the inner wall of the door body 2 to the abutment portion 322, can also flow along the upper surface of the inclined portion 323 into the water storage basket in the inner cavity 11 under the guiding effect of the inclined portion 323. Furthermore, this arrangement also helps to save space in the inner cavity 11 and enhances the overall structural strength and placement stability.

[0060] More specifically, such as Figures 2-8 As shown, a limiting part 321 is provided at the end of the inclined part 323 away from the abutting part 322. The limiting part 321 extends toward the bottom wall of the inner cavity 11. When the door 2 rotates and drives the ice basket 3 to rotate until the limiting part 321 abuts against the side wall of the opening, the door 2 is at a first preset angle. After the ice basket 3 is removed, the door 2 can also rotate to a second preset angle, which is greater than the first preset angle. The first preset angle can be selected as 40°-50°, and the second preset angle can be selected as 80°-90°. It can be designed according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0061] In other words, the limiting part 321 can control the opening angle of the door 2, preventing the ice basket 3 from falling out due to an excessively large opening angle. After the ice basket 3 is removed, the door 2 can open to a larger angle, facilitating the cleaning of the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1, which helps optimize the user experience. This ice maker does not require an additional water collection box or limiting structure. The condensate can be collected and guided by the partition 32 at the bottom of the ice basket body 31, and the rotation of the door 2 can be limited by the limiting part 321. The structure is simple, and the parts and installation steps are simplified, effectively reducing manufacturing costs.

[0062] More specifically, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the partition 32 is also provided with a stop portion 324, which is provided on both sides in the width direction of the partition 32, and the stop portion 324 extends from the end near the door body 2 toward the limiting portion 321. The stop portion 324 is used to prevent condensate from flowing out from both sides of the partition 32.

[0063] More specifically, the limiting part 321 and the inclined part 323 are arranged at an angle, and the angle is no greater than 90°. In this embodiment, the limiting part 321 and the inclined part 323 are arranged perpendicularly. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting part 321 and the inclined part 323 can also be arranged at an acute angle, which can ensure that when the door body 2 is rotated to the first preset angle, the limiting part 321 abuts against the side wall of the housing 1 at the bottom of the opening.

[0064] Optionally, continue to refer to Figures 2-6 The ice basket body 31 includes a side panel 311 and a bottom plate 312. The side panel 311 surrounds the bottom plate 312, and the side panel 311 and the bottom plate 312 together form an ice-containing cavity. A hook part 313 is provided on one side of the side panel 311, and it is connected to the door body 2 through the hook part 313. A connecting plate 33 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 312 away from the side panel 311. At least part of the bottom plate 312 is inclined to form a sloping panel 3121. The sloping panel 3121 is located on the side of the bottom plate 312 closer to the door body 2, and the distance between the sloping panel 3121 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 11 gradually decreases in the direction away from the door body 2. The sloping panel 3121 can concentrate the water in the ice basket body 31 to the side of the ice basket body 31 away from the door 2. If the entire bottom plate 312 is a sloping panel 3121, a drainage hole 3122 is opened at the lowest end of the sloping panel 3121 to drain the water in the ice basket body 31. If part of the bottom plate 312 is a sloping panel 3121 and the other part is a horizontal plate, a drainage hole 3122 can be opened on the side of the horizontal plate away from the door 2. Similarly, the water in the ice basket body 31 can be drained when the door 2 is not opened. When the door 2 is rotated open, the water in the ice basket 3 will gather at the angle formed between the horizontal plate and the sloping panel and will not flow out of the ice basket 3.

[0065] Specifically, a handle 314 is provided on the side panel 311. Since the ice basket body 31 and the door 2 are hooked together in this embodiment, the handle 314 is provided to make it easy to remove the ice basket body 31 and take out a large amount of ice at once.

[0066] It is understood that the ice maker, through the structure described in this application, can guide the condensate generated on the outer wall of the ice basket 3 and the condensate generated on the inner wall of the door 2 into the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1 through the partition 32, thereby preventing the condensate from flowing into the gaps in the door.

[0067] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
