[0002] Ice-making equipment typically consists of an ice-making body and a water storage unit. The ice-making body has an inner tank for storing ice cubes, and the water storage unit is connected to the inner tank to replenish the water for ice making. When a user needs to remove ice cubes, they must observe the distribution of the ice cubes within the inner tank. However, in dimly lit environments, the insufficient light within the inner tank makes it difficult for the user to remove the ice. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main technical problem solved by the embodiments of this application is to provide an ice-making device that, by setting a light-emitting device, can supplement the light in the inner space when the user needs to take ice, making it convenient for the user to take out the ice cubes, and there is no need to use screws to fix the light-emitting device, making the installation process simple.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0037] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] Ice-making equipment typically consists of an ice-making body and a water storage unit. The ice-making body has an inner tank for storing ice cubes, and the water storage unit is connected to the inner tank to replenish the water for ice making. When a user needs to remove ice cubes, they must observe the distribution of the ice cubes within the inner tank. However, in dimly lit environments, the insufficient light within the inner tank makes it difficult for the user to remove the ice.

[0039] In related technologies, a light-emitting device is typically installed at the top of the inner liner. When the inner liner is opened, the device emits light to supplement the existing light in the liner, making it easier for the user to retrieve ice. However, existing light-emitting devices are usually installed to the top of the inner liner with screws, which is a cumbersome installation process.

[0040] To address at least some of the aforementioned problems, this application provides an ice-making device that, by incorporating a light-emitting device, supplements the light in the inner liner when the user needs to remove ice, making it easier for the user to take out the ice. Furthermore, the light-emitting device does not require screws to fix it, making the installation process simple.

[0041] The specific structure and function of this application are described in detail below.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The ice-making device 100 includes a light-emitting device 1, an ice-making body 2, and a water storage component 3. The ice-making body 2 has a mounting hole 21 and an inner tank space 22. The mounting hole 21 communicates with the inner tank space 22, allowing the ice-making body 2 to produce ice cubes within the inner tank space 22. The water storage component 3 is located on the outer surface of the ice-making body 2. The water storage component 3 stores water and communicates with the inner tank space 22 to replenish water to the inner tank space 22. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5The light-emitting device 1 at least partially passes through the mounting hole 21 and is at least partially exposed in the inner liner space 22. When the user opens the inner liner space 22, the light-emitting device 1 can emit light, thereby illuminating the inner liner space 22, making it convenient for the user to observe the ice-making process in the inner liner space 22 and to easily remove the ice. The light-emitting device 1 also at least partially protrudes beyond the inner liner space 22 and the mounting hole 21, and the portion protruding beyond the inner liner space 22 and the mounting hole 21 abuts against the outer surface of the ice-making body 2. The water storage component 3 abuts against the end of the light-emitting device 1 that is away from the ice-making body 2, thereby fixing the light-emitting device 1 to the ice-making body 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, by providing a light-emitting device 1, when the user needs to remove ice, the light-emitting device 1 can increase the brightness in the inner liner space 22, making it easier for the user to observe the distribution of ice in the inner liner space 22 and to remove ice. By setting the light-emitting device 1 in the mounting hole 21, and at least a portion of the light-emitting device 1 abutting against the outer surface of the ice-making body 2, and the water storage component 3 being set on the outer surface of the ice-making body 2, and the water storage component 3 abutting against the end of the light-emitting device 1 away from the ice-making body 2, the water storage component 3 and the ice-making body 2 together fix the light-emitting device 1, eliminating the need to use screws to fix the light-emitting device 1, which simplifies the installation steps of the light-emitting device 1 and improves installation efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The light-emitting device 1 includes a lamp plate 11 and a lampshade 12. The lamp plate 11 is provided with LED beads (unlabeled) for emitting light. The lampshade 12 includes a protrusion 121 and a fixing part 122. One end of the protrusion 121 is connected to the fixing part 122. The protrusion 121 passes through the mounting hole 21 on the ice-making body 2, and the protrusion 121 is at least partially exposed in the mounting hole 21. The fixing part 122 abuts against the outer surface of the ice-making body 2, and the water storage component 3 abuts against the surface of the fixing part 122 away from the ice-making body 2. Since the water storage component 3 is fixed to the ice-making body 2, during the assembly process, it is only necessary to place the lampshade 12 on the outer surface of the ice-making body 2, make the protrusion 121 pass through the mounting hole 21, and then fix the water storage component 3 in the preset position of the ice-making body 2. There is no need to use screws to fix the light-emitting device 1 to the ice-making body 2, which helps to simplify the installation steps and improve the installation efficiency.

[0045] The light panel 11 is mounted on the side of the fixing part 122 away from the ice-making body 2. The light panel 11 is provided with at least one LED (unlabeled). The protrusion 121 is provided with a light mixing groove 1211. The LED is exposed in the light mixing groove 1211, and the emitted light can be mixed in the light mixing groove 1211 before passing through the protrusion 121 and illuminating the inner liner space 22, thereby supplementing the light in the inner liner space 22 and making it easier for the user to remove the ice. It is worth noting that by providing the light mixing groove 1211, the light emitted by the LED can be mixed in the light mixing groove 1211, which helps to improve the uniformity of the light.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lampshade 12 is made of a transparent material so that the light emitted by the lamp beads can pass through the protrusion 121 and illuminate the inner cavity 22.

[0047] Furthermore, the water storage component 3 is installed on an outer surface of the top of the ice-making body 2. On the one hand, the water storage component 3 can be located on the top of the ice-making body 2, which facilitates the flow of water in the water storage component 3 into the inner tank space 22. On the other hand, the light-emitting device 1 can be located on the top of the inner tank space 22, which facilitates the light-emitting device 1 to illuminate the inner tank space 22.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 The lampshade 12 includes a latch 124. One end of the latch 124 is connected to the surface of the fixing part 122 away from the ice-making body 2, and the other end of the latch 124 is bent and extended. The end of the latch 124 away from the fixing part 122 is suspended. One end of the lamp plate 11 abuts against the fixing part 122, and the end of the latch 124 away from the fixing part 122 extends to the end of the lamp plate 11 away from the protrusion 121. When viewed along the first direction X, the projection of the latch 124 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the lamp plate 11, so that the latch 124 can restrict the movement of the lamp plate 11 along the first direction X and reduce the risk of the lamp plate 11 detaching from the fixing part 122. The first direction X is parallel to the arrangement direction of the water storage component 3 and the ice-making body 2.

[0049] In some embodiments, the latch 124 includes a connecting segment 1241, a bending segment 1242, and a limiting segment 1243. One end of the connecting segment 1241 is connected to one end of the bending segment 1242, and one end of the limiting segment 1243 is connected to the end of the bending segment 1242 away from the connecting segment 1241. The bending segment 1242 is bent so that the latch 124 is approximately U-shaped. The end of the connecting segment 1241 away from the bending segment 1242 is connected to the fixing part 122. The end of the limiting segment 1243 away from the bending segment 1242 is located on the side of the lamp panel 11 opposite to the fixing part 122. When viewed along the first direction X, the projection of the end of the limiting segment 1243 away from the bending segment 1242 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the lamp panel 11, so that the limiting segment 1243 can restrict the movement of the lamp panel 11 along the first direction X and reduce the risk of the lamp panel 11 detaching from the fixing part 122.

[0050] It is worth noting that the end of the limiting segment 1243 away from the bending segment 1242 is suspended in the air, and when subjected to external force, the end of the limiting segment 1243 away from the bending segment 1242 can swing around the bending segment 1242. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the lamp panel 11, the limiting segment 1243 can be pressed in the direction facing the connecting segment 1241 along the second direction Y, so that the end of the limiting segment 1243 away from the bending segment 1242 swings towards the connecting segment 1241, thereby removing the limiting of the lamp panel 11 by the end of the limiting segment 1243 away from the bending segment 1242, so that the lamp panel 11 can be disassembled and taken out from the fixing part 122.

[0051] In some embodiments, the limiting segment 1243 has an inclined portion 1244 on the side opposite to the connecting segment 1241. The surface of the inclined portion 1244 opposite to the connecting segment 1241 is a slope 1246. From the end of the slope 1246 near the bending segment 1242 to the end away from the bending segment 1242, the distance between the slope 1246 and the connecting segment 1241 gradually increases in the second direction Y. The second direction Y is parallel to the arrangement direction of the connecting segment 1241 and the limiting segment 1243. Therefore, the slope 1246 can guide the lamp plate 11 to be inserted into the side of the limiting segment 1243 away from the bending segment 1242, so as to facilitate the installation of the lamp plate 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, the buckle 124 further includes a reinforcing rib 1245, which is disposed on the fixing part 122 and is also connected to the connecting section 1241. The reinforcing rib 1245 is used to increase the connection strength between the connecting section 1241 and the fixing part 122.

[0053] In some embodiments, the number of latches 124 is at least two. One end of each latch 124 is connected to the surface of the fixing part 122 away from the ice-making body 2. Along the second direction Y, the two latches 124 are respectively located on opposite sides of the lamp plate 11, and along the first direction X, the projections of the two latches 124 at least partially overlap with the projection of the lamp plate 11, so that the two latches 124 can jointly restrict the movement of the lamp plate 11 along the first direction X, thereby reducing the risk of the lamp plate 11 detaching from the fixing part 122 along the first direction X. In this embodiment, by providing at least two latches 124, the stability of the limiting of the lamp plate 11 can be improved, further reducing the risk of the lamp plate 11 detaching from the fixing part 122.

[0054] In some embodiments, one of the fixing part 122 and the lamp plate 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion 1221, and the other is provided with a positioning hole 111. The positioning protrusion 1221 is inserted into the positioning hole 111, which on the one hand realizes the positioning between the lamp plate 11 and the fixing part 122, and on the other hand, restricts the movement of the lamp plate 11 along the second direction Y, so as to fix the lamp plate 11 to the fixing part 122.

[0055] Furthermore, there are multiple positioning protrusions 1221 and positioning holes 111, with the multiple positioning protrusions 1221 spaced apart from each other. One positioning protrusion 1221 is inserted into one positioning hole 111. By setting multiple positioning protrusions 1221 and multiple positioning holes 111, it is beneficial to improve the positioning accuracy between the lamp board 11 and the fixing part 122, as well as to improve the stability of the fixing between the lamp board 11 and the fixing part 122.

[0056] In some embodiments, the plurality of positioning protrusions 1221 are all disposed on the surface of the fixing part 122 away from the ice-making body 2, and the plurality of positioning holes 111 are all disposed on the lamp plate 11. It is understood that the plurality of positioning protrusions 1221 may also be disposed on the lamp plate 11, and the plurality of positioning holes 111 may be disposed on the fixing part 122, and this application does not limit this.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The ice-making device 100 also includes a sealing ring 5, which surrounds the protrusion 121. One end of the sealing ring 5 abuts against the outer surface of the ice-making body 2, and the other end abuts against the fixing part 122. By providing the sealing ring 5 between the fixing part 122 and the outer surface of the ice-making body 2, the risk of external air entering the inner tank space 22 and contaminating the water in the inner tank space 22 can be reduced.

[0058] In some embodiments, a sealing groove 1222 is provided on the surface of the fixing part 122 facing the ice-making body 2. Viewed along the first direction X, the sealing groove 1222 surrounds the protrusion 121, and the aforementioned sealing ring 5 is partially received in the sealing groove 1222. The portion of the sealing ring 5 protruding from the sealing groove 1222 abuts against the outer surface of the ice-making body 2. By providing the sealing groove 1222, the contact area between the sealing ring 5 and the fixing part 122 can be increased, which is beneficial to improving the sealing effect.

[0059] It is worth noting that, in order to keep the ice in the inner liner space 22 warm, foaming liquid needs to be filled into the top wall 23, bottom wall (unlabeled), and side walls (unlabeled) of the ice-making body 2. After the foaming liquid solidifies, it forms an insulation layer, thereby reducing the transfer of external heat to the interior of the inner liner space 22. Since the ice-making body 2 in this application has an installation hole 21 that penetrates the top wall 23, the foaming liquid inside the top wall 23 is exposed to the installation hole 21. If outside air enters the inner liner space 22 through the installation hole 21, the outside air can easily come into contact with the foaming liquid, thus contaminating the water in the inner liner space 22. Therefore, in this application, by setting the aforementioned sealing ring 5, the airflow between the inner liner space 22 and the outside can be reduced, lowering the risk of air in the inner liner space 22 coming into contact with the insulation layer formed by the foaming liquid, thereby reducing contamination of the water in the inner liner space 22 and improving the safety of the ice for consumption.

[0060] It should also be noted that in related technologies, the method of mounting the light-emitting device 1 to the top of the inner liner space 22 using screws requires the wire 6 used to connect the light-emitting device 1 to pass through the insulation layer, which further increases the assembly difficulty of the ice-making device 100. To at least partially solve the above problems, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 8 The ice-making device 100 also includes a wire 6, one end of which is electrically connected to the lamp panel 11. Since the lamp panel 11 is located on the side of the fixing part 122 away from the ice-making body 2, the wire 6 can be led out from the gap between the water storage component 3 and the ice-making body 2, without the need to lead the wire in the insulation layer of the ice-making body 2, which helps to reduce the assembly difficulty of the ice-making body 2.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The protrusion 121 includes a connecting section 1212 and a retracting section 1213. The connecting section 1212 passes through the mounting hole 21. One end of the retracting section 1213 is connected to the connecting section 1212. The retracting section 1213 is housed within the inner liner space 22. From the end of the retracting section 1213 near the connecting section 1212 to the end away from the connecting section 1212, the edge of the retracting section 1213 gradually moves towards the center line H of the protrusion 121 at the edge of the cross-section perpendicular to the first direction X. That is, from the end of the retracting section 1213 near the connecting section 1212 to the other end, the sidewall of the retracting section 1213 is inclined. It is worth noting that when light passes through the converging section 1213, the converging section 1213 will refract the light. Therefore, in this embodiment, by tilting the side wall of the converging section 1213, it is beneficial to enhance the downward light intensity, thereby increasing the light intensity at the bottom of the inner liner space 22, making it easier for users to observe the distribution of ice at the bottom of the inner liner space 22.

[0062] It is worth noting that the center line H of the protrusion 121 refers to the straight line connecting the center points of each section perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The ice-making device 100 also includes a heat-insulating component 4, which is disposed on the water storage component 3. The heat-insulating component 4 abuts against the surface of the lamp panel 11 away from the ice-making body 2, and the projection of the lamp panel 11 is located within the projection of the heat-insulating component 4 along the first direction X, so that the heat-insulating component 4 can reduce the heat transfer between the lamp panel 11 and the water storage component 3. It is worth noting that the lamp panel 11 is usually provided with multiple electronic components (not shown in the figure), and the lamp panel 11 is prone to heat generation during operation, causing the temperature around the lamp panel 11 to rise. Meanwhile, the water storage component 3 stores water, which can easily lead to a lower temperature near the water storage component 3. Therefore, air of different temperatures can easily form around the lamp panel 11, which can easily cause condensation. The condensation can easily drip onto the lamp panel 11 and corrode the electronic components. Therefore, in this application, by providing the heat-insulating component 4, it is beneficial to reduce the heat transfer between the lamp panel 11 and the water storage component 3, thereby reducing the condensation generated near the lamp panel 11 and protecting the lamp panel 11.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The water storage component 3 has a pressing part 31 on its surface facing the ice-making body 2. The pressing part 31 abuts against the surface of the fixing part 122 away from the ice-making body 2, thereby pressing and fixing the lamp cover 12 between the ice-making body 2 and the water storage component 3.

[0065] In some embodiments, the holding part 31 is provided with a receiving groove 311 on the side facing the ice-making body 2, and the aforementioned heat preservation block is disposed in the receiving groove 311. The heat preservation block and the receiving groove 311 form an interference fit, thereby reducing the risk of the heat preservation block falling off.
