[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model, by setting up a blocking and protective mechanism and a locking mechanism, can effectively shield the ice-collecting opening, preventing small ice shards generated during the ice-crushing process from splashing outwards from the ice-collecting opening.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, providing an ice maker with easily replaceable ice-crushing blades. It includes an ice-making mechanism 1, which comprises an ice-making body 11, a control panel 12, an ice-dispensing port 13, heat dissipation holes 14, a replacement slot 16, and an ice-crushing mechanism 15. The control panel 12 is fixedly connected to the front side of the ice-making body 11. The ice-dispensing port 13 is located on the front side of the ice-making body 11. The heat dissipation holes 14 are located on both sides of the ice-making body 11. The replacement slot 16 is located on the left side of the ice-making body 11. The ice-crushing mechanism 15 is movably installed on the inner wall of the replacement slot 16.

[0031] The blocking and protective mechanism 2 includes a slide rod 21, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the top of the ice maker body 11. Sliders 22 are movably connected to both sides of the surface of the slide rod 21. A blocking guard plate 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each slider 22. The blocking guard plate 23 is located on both sides in front of the ice outlet 13. The blocking guard plate 23 is made of acrylic. A connecting block 24 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the top of the blocking guard plate 23. A reset component 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the ice maker body 11. An auxiliary moving component 26 is movably embedded in the bottom of the slider 22.

[0032] Locking mechanism 3; locking mechanism 3 is opened on the top of slider 22. Reset assembly 25 includes H plate 251, H plate 251 is fixedly installed on the top of ice maker body 11. Reset spring 252 is provided on the inner side of connecting block 24. One end of reset spring 252 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the inner wall of H plate 251, and the other end of reset spring 252 is fixedly connected to the inner side of connecting block 24. Auxiliary moving assembly 26 includes ball bearing 261. Ball bearing 261 is movably embedded in the bottom of slider 22. A slide groove 262 is opened on the front side of the top of ice maker body 11. The surface of ball bearing 261 is movably connected to the inner wall of slide groove 262. An installation groove 5 is opened on the inner side of blocking guard plate 23. A sealing strip 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of installation groove 5.

[0033] Specifically, the blocking and protective mechanism 2, through the acrylic blocking plate 23, can effectively prevent small ice shards generated during ice breaking from splashing out of the ice-retrieving port 13, avoiding pollution of the surrounding environment. At the same time, when not retrieving ice, it can prevent external dust and impurities from entering the ice maker, ensuring the cleanliness of the equipment. Moreover, the acrylic material has good light transmittance, so it does not affect the observation of ice retrieval. The blocking plate 23 can be flexibly moved horizontally through the cooperation of the sliding rod 21 and the slider 22, so as to open and close the blocking plate 23. The auxiliary moving component 26 reduces the friction when the slider 22 moves, making the adjustment process smoother and less strenuous. At the same time, the reset component 25 can automatically drive the blocking plate 23 to reset after ice retrieval, without manual operation, improving the convenience of use.

[0034] Furthermore, in the non-ice-removing state, the return spring 252 is in a naturally extended state. Through the connecting block 24, it applies an inward force to the slider 22, causing the two side blocking plates 23 to move inward along the slide rod 21 and come into contact with each other. At this time, the blocking plates 23 are in close contact with the sealing strip 6 in the mounting groove 5, forming a sealed protection for the ice-removing port 13, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the ice maker through the ice-removing port 13. Simultaneously, the light transmittance of the acrylic material allows observation of the internal state. Meanwhile, the ball bearing 261 contacts the slide groove 262, reducing friction during the movement of the blocking plates 23 and ensuring a smooth reset process. When ice removal is needed, the blocking plates 23 are pulled outward, and the slider 22 slides outward along the slide rod 21. The ball bearing 261 rolls within the slide groove 262, reducing sliding resistance and facilitating operation. More effortless. During this process, the connecting block 24 moves outward synchronously with the blocking guard plate 23, applying tension to the return spring 252 to stretch and store energy. At the same time, the sealing strip 6 between the blocking guard plates 23 separates with the guard plates, exposing the ice-retrieving port 13 for ice-retrieving operations. At this time, the blocking guard plate 23 is located on both sides of the ice-retrieving port 13, which can prevent ice shards generated during ice breaking from splashing from both sides. After ice retrieval is completed, the blocking guard plate 23 is released, and the stretched return spring 252 releases its elasticity, driving the slider 22 to return to the inward side along the slide rod 21 through the connecting block 24. The ball bearing 261 assists in sliding again, so that the blocking guard plate 23 re-fits, and the sealing strip 6 in the mounting groove 5 fits tightly again, restoring the closed protection of the ice-retrieving port 13, preventing impurities from entering in the subsequent non-ice-retrieving state, and avoiding accidental splashing of residual ice shards that have not been cleaned in time.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] In the second embodiment of this utility model, the locking mechanism 3 includes a groove 31, which is formed on the top of the slider 22. A locking block 32 is movably connected to the inner wall of the groove 31. Locking slots 33 are formed on both sides of the top front side of the H-plate 251. The number of locking slots 33 is arranged in several groups and is evenly distributed. The rear side of the locking block 32 extends to the rear side of the slider 22. The rear side of the locking block 32 is movably connected to the inner wall of the locking slot 33. A pressing component is provided on the front side of the locking block 32. 34. The clamping assembly 34 includes a clamping spring 341, which is disposed on the front side of the locking block 32. One end of the clamping spring 341 is fixedly connected to the front side of the locking block 32, and the other end of the clamping spring 341 is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of the groove 31. Limiting rods 342 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the groove 31. The clamping spring 341 is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rods 342. A lifting block 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the locking block 32. The lifting block 4 is arranged in a ring.

[0037] Specifically, the locking mechanism 3, through the cooperation of the locking insert 32 and the locking groove 33, can stably lock the slider 22 and the blocking guard plate 23 in the required position, preventing the blocking guard plate 23 from shifting due to accidental contact during ice removal or equipment operation, ensuring stable protection effect. At the same time, it is convenient for the user to fix the blocking guard plate 23 after it is opened, so that the broken ice can be completely removed through the ice removal port 13. Meanwhile, the pressing component 34, through the elastic force of the spring, makes the locking insert 32 and the locking groove 33 fit tightly, enhancing the locking firmness.

[0038] Furthermore, in the non-ice-removing state, the clamping spring 341 is in a naturally extended state, applying a backward force to the locking block 32, causing the rear side of the locking block 32 to insert into the locking groove 33 of the H-plate 251, fixing the slider 22 and the connected blocking plate 23 in the fitted position. When ice removal is needed, the locking block 32 is pulled forward by the lifting block 4, the clamping spring 341 is compressed and stored, and the rear side of the locking block 32 is pulled out from the locking groove 33, releasing the lock on the slider 22. At this time, the blocking plate 23 can be pulled outward, and the slider 22 moves along the sliding rod 21. After adjusting the blocking plate 23 to a suitable position according to the ice removal needs, the lifting block 4 is released, and then the clamping spring 341 releases its elasticity, pushing the lock. The insert 32 moves backward so that its rear side inserts into the corresponding locking groove 33, relocking the slider 22 and the blocking guard plate 23. Since the locking grooves 33 are evenly distributed, the appropriate locking position can be selected according to the opening range of the guard plate, ensuring that the guard plate is stable within the required protection range during the ice removal process. This does not affect the ice removal operation and can effectively prevent ice shards from splashing, improving the safety of use. After the ice removal is completed, the locking insert 32 is pulled apart from the locking groove 33 by the lifting block 4. Then, the return spring 252 drives the blocking guard plate 23 to return to its original position and fit. After the lifting block 4 is released, the locking insert 32 is inserted back into the locking groove 33 in the initial position, restoring the initial locking state, ensuring the closed protection effect when not removing ice, and maintaining the cleanliness of the inside of the equipment.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] When not in the ice-removing state, the return spring 252 is in a naturally extended state. One end of it is connected to the inner side of the inner wall of the H-plate 251, and the other end is connected to the connecting block 24 on the outer side of the top of the blocking guard plate 23. The connecting block 24 applies an inward force to the slider 22. The slider 22 is sleeved on the sliding rod 21 on the front side of the top of the ice maker body 11. Under the action of the return spring 252, the sliders 22 on both sides drive the bottom blocking guard plate 23 to move inward along the sliding rod 21 and fit together. At this time, the blocking guard plate 23 is located in front of the ice-removing port 13, and the sealing strip 6 in the mounting groove 5 is installed on its inner side. The close contact forms a sealed protection for the ice-retrieving port 13, which not only prevents external dust and impurities from entering the ice maker body 11, but also allows the internal situation to be observed through the light transmission of the acrylic. When ice needs to be retrieved, the locking block 32 is first pulled forward by the annular lifting block 4 on the front side of the locking block 32, compressing and storing the tension spring 341. The rear side of the locking block 32 is then pulled out from the locking groove 33, releasing the lock on the slider 22. Subsequently, the blocking guard plate 23 is pulled outward, and the slider 22 slides outward along the slide rod 21. Then, the ball bearing 261 rolls in the slide groove 262. To reduce sliding resistance and make operation easier, during this process, the connecting block 24 moves synchronously with the blocking guard plate 23, applying tension to the return spring 252 to stretch and store energy. The sealing strip 6 between the blocking guard plates 23 separates, and the ice-retrieving port 13 is gradually exposed. After adjusting the blocking guard plate 23 to the appropriate position according to the ice-retrieving needs, the lifting block 4 is released, the spring 341 is pressed to release the elastic force, and the locking insert 32 is pushed to move backward, so that its rear side is inserted into the corresponding locking groove 33, relocking the slider 22 and the blocking guard plate 23. At this time, the blocking guard plate 23 is located at the ice-retrieving port 1. 3. Both sides not only meet the needs of ice removal operations but also prevent small ice shards from splashing out during ice breaking, ensuring a clean surrounding environment. After ice removal, the locking block 32 is unlocked by pulling the lifting block 4, causing the return spring 252 to release its elasticity. This, through the connecting block 24, drives the slider 22 and the blocking guard plate 23 to return to their original positions along the sliding rod 21. Once the blocking guard plate 23 re-adheres, the lifting block 4 is released, and the locking block 32, under the action of the clamping spring 341, inserts into the locking groove 33 in its initial position, restoring the closed protective state and ensuring internal cleanliness when not removing ice.

[0041] In summary, by setting up the blocking and protective mechanism 2 and the locking mechanism 3, the ice-collecting port 13 can be effectively shielded, preventing small ice shards generated during the ice-crushing process from splashing outwards from the ice-collecting port 13. At the same time, in the non-ice-collecting state, it can prevent external dust and impurities from entering the ice maker body 11 through the ice-collecting port 13. Furthermore, the locking mechanism 3 can fix the position of the blocking and protective mechanism 2, ensuring that it can stably play its protective role during use. This solves the problem that due to the lack of a protective structure, small ice shards generated by the high-speed rotation of the ice-crushing blades cutting ice blocks will splash outwards from the ice-collecting port, polluting the surrounding environment. At the same time, in the non-ice-collecting state, external dust and impurities can easily enter the ice maker through the ice-collecting port, affecting the cleanliness of the equipment. Thus, the protective function is achieved.

[0042] The ice-crushing mechanism, reset spring, ball bearing, clamping spring, and sealing strip used in this application can be additionally equipped with protective measures of common knowledge in this technical field under different usage environments, including but not limited to the following methods, such as protective covers for equipment protection, dustproof nets for equipment dust prevention, and sealing components or waterproof coatings for equipment waterproofing, which are commonly used by those skilled in the art.
