Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerator technology, specifically to a refrigerator ice-making model rack assembly. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial functional module of modern refrigeration equipment, the ice-making mold rack assembly directly impacts user experience in terms of demolding efficiency and ease of operation. Traditional ice-making mold rack assemblies employ a split mold structure design, requiring users to press each ice block mold cell individually during demolding. This method suffers from significant efficiency drawbacks. When there are many mold cells, manually applying force to each one is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to causing ice block breakage or mold deformation due to uneven force application.
[0003] Furthermore, integrated demolding technology developed in recent years has improved this by setting a linkage pressing mechanism on the back of the mold, which can achieve simultaneous demolding of multiple cells with a single press.
[0004] However, in actual use, when ice is poured out after demolding, the lack of a directional pouring channel causes the ice to slide freely from the edge of the mold or the opening of the ice collection box due to inertia, posing a significant risk of spillage. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a refrigerator ice-making mold rack assembly to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the lack of a tilting channel causes ice blocks to easily spill when tilted.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model specifically provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A refrigerator ice-making mold rack assembly includes a box body. Multiple flexible rubber cells for forming ice blocks are fixedly disposed within the box body. These flexible rubber cells are arranged along the length of the box body. A push block is slidably disposed on the upper surface of each flexible rubber cell, and a squeezing block is slidably disposed below each flexible rubber cell. The squeezing block is used to push the flexible rubber cells to demold the formed ice blocks. The squeezing block is fixedly connected to the push block via a connector to slide synchronously along the length of the box body. An opening corresponding to the push block and the squeezing block is provided at the end of the box body.
[0008] The extrusion block and the push block are staggered in the longitudinal direction, with the extrusion block positioned close to the opening.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the plurality of flexible rubber cells are connected by plates, and the plates are integrally formed with the inner wall of the box.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a placement position is provided on the side of the plate away from the opening, the placement positions are respectively located above and below the flexible rubber cell, and the push block and the squeeze block are respectively located in the placement position.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the extrusion block is fixedly mounted on the carrier plate, the carrier plate is slidably connected to the box body, and the carrier plate can slide out from the opening located below.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a flow-limiting plate is provided at the opening located above, and the top of the flow-limiting plate is higher than the opening end face of the flexible rubber cell.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting cover is provided on the opening above the box body, and the limiting cover is detachably connected to the box body.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] This invention uses a push block and an extrusion block to form an integral moving structure. The extrusion block demolds the ice block from below, while the push block simultaneously pushes and gathers the demolded ice block from above. Thus, in one movement, the ice block can be demolded and gathered at the opening for pouring out, making the pouring of ice block more orderly and standardized, reducing the risk of spillage, and improving the efficiency of ice block demolding and ice removal.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a refrigerator ice-making mold rack assembly, including a box body 1. Multiple flexible rubber cells 11 for forming ice cubes are fixedly arranged inside the box body 1. The flexible rubber cells 11 are made of commercially available food-grade rubber, whose flexible deformation characteristics allow for smoother ice cube demolding. The multiple flexible rubber cells 11 are arranged along the length of the box body 1. A pusher block 2 is slidably arranged on the upper surface of each flexible rubber cell 11, and a squeezing block 3 is slidably arranged below each flexible rubber cell 11. The squeezing block 3 is used to push the flexible rubber cells 11 to demold the formed ice cubes. The squeezing block 3 is fixedly connected to the pusher block 2 via a connector 4 to slide synchronously along the length of the box body 1. An opening 5 corresponding to the pusher block 2 and the squeezing block 3 is provided at the end of the box body 1.
[0023] A placement position 7 is provided on the side of the plate 6 away from the opening 5. The placement positions 7 are respectively located above and below the flexible rubber cell 11, and the push block 2 and the extrusion block 3 are respectively located in the placement positions 7.
[0024] In this configuration, the squeezing block 3 and the pushing block 2 are staggered longitudinally, with the squeezing block 3 positioned close to the opening 5. This allows the squeezing block 3 to first expel all the ice, and then the pushing block 2 pushes the ice towards the opening 5. Furthermore, in a specific implementation, the pushing block 2 can be configured to expand outwards, i.e., as shown... Figure 1 The pusher block 2 shown has a ramp on its arc-shaped surface that slopes toward the inner walls of the box 1 on both sides. So when pushing the ice block, in addition to pushing the ice block toward the opening 5, the position of the ice block can be changed by using the ramp, so that it is offset a little distance to the sides of the box 1, thereby preventing the demolded ice block from falling back into the flexible rubber cell 11.
[0025] The sliding mechanism of push block 2 and extrusion block 3 can be as follows: Figure 2 The process is carried out via a slide. A slide is made on the inner wall of the box 1, and the connector 4 is slidably disposed in the slide, driving the push block 2 and the pressing block 3 to slide.
[0026] In addition, multiple flexible rubber cells 11 are connected by a plate 6, which is integrally formed with the inner wall of the box 1. This eliminates the need to inject water into each flexible cell individually, preventing leakage.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the extrusion block 3 is fixedly mounted on the carrier plate 8, which is slidably connected to the box body 1. The carrier plate 8 can slide out from the opening 5 located below. By setting the carrier plate 8, the extruded ice cubes can fall onto the carrier plate 8 for collection, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a flow-limiting plate 9 is installed at the upper opening 5, with the top of the flow-limiting plate 9 higher than the end face of the opening 5 of the flexible rubber cell 11. The flow-limiting plate 9 serves to limit the flow, preventing water from overflowing from the upper opening 5 during the initial stage of ice making.
[0029] In addition, a limiting cover 10 is provided on the opening 5 above the box body 1, and the limiting cover 10 is detachably connected to the box body 1.
[0030] The limiting cover 10 can limit the movement of the ice block pushed up during the movement of the pusher block 2.
[0031] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
