Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ice-making mechanisms for refrigerators, and more particularly to a refrigerator with an ice-making mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerators are typically divided into a freezer compartment and a refrigerator compartment (also known as a preservation compartment). Because the freezer compartment has a lower temperature, ice blocks are usually made in the freezer compartment for use.

[0003] Typically, people would place drinking water directly into the ice tray, then seal it and place it in the freezer compartment. After a certain amount of time, the ice would be ready. However, the freezer compartment of a refrigerator usually has limited space. If there are many items inside, the ice tray may not have enough storage space. Placing the ice tray at an angle can cause the liquid inside to leak out. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that when there are many items stored in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator, the ice tray does not have enough storage space. If the ice tray is tilted and forced to be placed, the liquid inside the ice tray will flow into the refrigerator and contaminate the internal environment of the refrigerator.

[0005] To solve the problems of the existing technology, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A refrigerator with an ice-making mechanism includes a cabinet door, a retaining rail on the surface of the cabinet door, an ice tray in the inner side of the retaining rail, a cavity on the inner side of the ice tray, a bolt hole on the surface of the ice tray, a rubber cover covering the surface of the ice tray, a positioning plug on the side of the rubber cover near the bolt hole, and a limiting cover slidably connected to the surface of the ice tray.

[0006] Furthermore, the surface of the ice tray has a mesh-like opening with cavities, which are divided into left and right groups. A partition is provided between the two groups of cavities, through which liquid can be stored. The partition separates the two groups of cavities and provides the space required for the liquid to condense and expand.

[0007] Furthermore, the ice tray has connecting grooves between its cavities, allowing liquid to move freely and ensuring uniform distribution of liquid within the ice tray.

[0008] Furthermore, the partition is a rectangular cavity perpendicular to the ice grid, ensuring that the partition has sufficient cavity size.

[0009] Furthermore, a positioning piece extending into the cavity is provided on the side of the rubber cover near the cavity, which can quickly determine whether the rubber cover is placed correctly.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning plug is inserted into the plug hole, and the rubber cover can be connected to the ice tray through the positioning plug.

[0011] Furthermore, the rubber cover is flush with the surface of the ice tray.

[0012] Furthermore, a gap is left between the portion of the ice tray located inside the track and the cabinet door, and the thickness of the limiting cover is adapted to the gap so that the ice tray abuts against the cabinet door through the limiting cover.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention uses a rail on the surface of the refrigerator door to connect ice trays, allowing the ice trays to be stored between the refrigerator door and the interior storage area. This method does not occupy too much storage space. The ice trays are sealed with rubber caps, and the rubber caps are covered with limiting caps on the outside. The rubber caps seal the ice trays, and the limiting caps optimize the sealing effect to prevent liquid leakage. Furthermore, the door surface area is sufficient to accommodate multiple ice trays via the rails. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-4As shown, a refrigerator with an ice-making mechanism includes a door 1, a rail 2 on the surface of the door 1, an ice tray 3 that is engaged with the inside of the rail 2, and a connecting groove between several cavities of the ice tray 3, through which liquid can move freely to ensure uniform distribution of liquid in the ice tray 3. A partition 4 is provided inside the ice tray 3, and the surface of the ice tray 3 has cavities arranged in a mesh pattern. The cavities are divided into left and right groups, and a partition 4 is provided between the two groups of cavities. Liquid can be stored through the cavities. The partition 4 separates the two groups of cavities on both sides and provides the space required for liquid condensation and expansion. The partition 4 is a rectangular cavity perpendicular to the ice tray 3 to ensure that the partition 4 has sufficient cavity size.

[0022] The surface of the ice tray 3 has a bolt hole 5, and the surface of the ice tray 3 is covered with a rubber cover 6. The rubber cover 6 is flush with the surface of the ice tray 3. A positioning piece extending into the cavity 4 is provided on the side of the rubber cover 6 near the cavity 4. The positioning piece can be used to quickly determine whether the position of the rubber cover 6 is correct. A positioning plug 7 is provided on the side of the rubber cover 6 near the bolt hole 5. The positioning plug 7 is inserted into the bolt hole 5. The positioning plug 7 can connect the rubber cover 6 and the ice tray 3. A limiting cover 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the ice tray 3. There is a gap between the part of the ice tray 3 inside the rail 2 and the cabinet door 1. The thickness of the limiting cover 8 is adapted to the gap, so that the ice tray 3 abuts against the cabinet door 1 through the limiting cover 8.

[0023] Working principle description: First, the operator fills the ice tray 3 with liquid, then covers the surface of the ice tray 3 with the rubber cover 6, and ensures that the positioning plug 7 is inserted into the bolt hole 5. Ensure that the rubber cover 6 completely covers the surface of the ice tray 3 and that all positioning plugs 7 are in the bolt hole 5 for a secure connection. Then, slide the limiting cover 8 to the outside of the ice tray 3, covering the rubber cover 6 with the limiting cover 8. Then, stand the ice tray 3 upright and place it on the surface of the cabinet door 1 along the rail 2.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
