Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice-making mold technology, specifically to an ice-making mold. Background Technology
[0002] Ice molds are used as everyday tableware, producing ice to quickly cool drinks and give them a refreshing taste, primarily for use in refrigerators. These products are typically made of cold-resistant materials. However, traditional ice molds are generally made of soft silicone or hard plastic, which have the following drawbacks: 1. Silicone ice molds are resistant to both high and low temperatures and are easy to demold. However, being a soft plastic, liquid can easily overflow from the mold, and they are usually quite thick, increasing cost. 2. Hard plastic ice molds are resistant to low temperatures and can hold liquid without collapsing or leaking. However, demolding is difficult; it's hard to quickly remove the ice crystals from the mold, requiring time for them to melt slightly before removal. Therefore, to avoid the shortcomings of existing technology, it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and provide an ice-making mold that is simple in structure and easy to use.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] An ice-making mold includes an upper mold base and a lower mold base. An upper mold is installed at the bottom of the upper mold base, and a lower mold is installed at the top of the lower mold base. The top of the upper mold is connected to the top of the lower mold. The upper mold and the lower mold form an ice-making cavity. The upper mold base and the lower mold base are both made of hard plastic, while the upper mold and the lower mold are both made of soft rubber.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper mold is snapped into the upper mold base, the outer side of the bottom of the upper mold base is provided with a first slot, and the inner side of the top of the upper mold is provided with a first retaining ring corresponding to the first slot.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper mold is engaged with the lower mold, the outer side of the bottom of the upper mold is provided with a second slot, and the inner side of the top of the lower mold is provided with a second retaining ring corresponding to the second slot.
[0008] Furthermore, the lower mold is engaged with the lower mold base, the inner side of the bottom of the lower mold is provided with a third slot, and the outer side of the top of the lower mold base is provided with a third retaining ring corresponding to the third slot.
[0009] Furthermore, both the outer side of the upper mold and the outer side of the lower mold are provided with corresponding longitudinal grooves.
[0010] Furthermore, both the upper mold base and the lower mold base are vertically connected.

[0013] Furthermore, both the upper mold base and the lower mold base are made of PS material.
[0014] Furthermore, both the upper mold and the lower mold are made of silicone.
[0015] Compared to existing technologies, this invention connects the top of the upper mold with the top of the lower mold, forming an ice-making cavity. The upper and lower mold bases are made of hard plastic, while the upper and lower molds are made of soft rubber. In use, the hard plastic upper and lower mold bases support the outside of the ice-making mold, while the soft rubber upper and lower molds support the ice. The upper and lower molds can be made thinner. After the liquid freezes, the upper mold base and upper mold can be opened, and the bottom of the lower mold can be pressed to demold the ice, making removal easier and faster, improving the user experience, reducing costs, and providing a better user experience.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 The present invention discloses an ice-making mold, comprising an upper mold base 1 and a lower mold base 2. An upper mold 3 is mounted on the bottom of the upper mold base 1, and a lower mold 3 is mounted on the top of the lower mold base 2. The top of the upper mold 3 is connected to the top of the lower mold 4, forming an ice-making cavity 5. The upper mold base 1 and lower mold base 2 are made of hard plastic, while the upper mold 3 and lower mold 4 are made of soft plastic. In use, the hard plastic upper mold base 1 and lower mold base 2 support the exterior of the ice-making mold, while the soft plastic upper mold 3 and lower mold 4 support the ice.
