[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figures 1-2 One embodiment of this utility model provides an ice storage basket for a vehicle-mounted ice maker, which is located below the ice outlet of the ice maker and includes an ice basket body 10.

[0031] The ice basket body 10 is provided with a detachable baffle 30, which divides the accommodating space of the ice basket body 10 into a first accommodating compartment 101 and a second accommodating compartment 102.

[0032] The first compartment 101 is located directly below the ice outlet and is used to receive ice blocks, while the second compartment 102 is used for refrigerated storage of items.

[0033] This embodiment provides an ice storage basket for a vehicle-mounted ice maker, located below the ice outlet 202 of the ice maker. The ice storage basket includes an ice basket body 10, the interior of which is divided into a first receiving compartment 101 and a second receiving compartment 102 by a removable baffle 30. The first receiving compartment 101 faces the ice outlet 202 and is used to directly receive ice blocks falling from the ice maker; the second receiving compartment 102 is located on the side and is used for refrigerating and storing beverages, fruits, and other items, realizing multi-functional use of partitioned storage. Two symmetrical sliding grooves 11 are arranged on the inner sidewall of the ice basket body 10.

[0034] When making ice, ice blocks fall into the first compartment 101. The wave-shaped baffle 30 cushions the impact of the ice blocks, and the vent 31 allows cold air to penetrate into the second compartment 102. The second compartment 102 uses the low temperature of the ice blocks to achieve refrigeration. Users can remove the baffle 30 at any time to adjust the volume ratio of the two compartments.

[0035] Optionally, the baffle 30 has a corrugated structure and is provided with ventilation holes 31 on its surface. The ventilation holes 31 are vertical strip-shaped holes with a diameter of 2-5 mm. The vertical strip-shaped ventilation holes 31 with a diameter of 3 mm are evenly distributed on the surface of the baffle 30 to promote the circulation of cold air while preventing ice blocks from entering the compartment.

[0036] The wave-shaped structure has a crest height of 10-30mm and a trough depth of 5-15mm. The baffle 30 has a wave-shaped structure, with a crest height preferably of 15mm and a trough depth preferably of 8mm.

[0037] Optionally, the baffle 30 is made of food-grade polypropylene material, and the surface of the baffle 30 is coated with a nano-ice-repellent coating. The baffle 30 is injection molded from food-grade polypropylene, and the surface is sprayed with a nano-ice-repellent coating such as fluorosilane material to reduce the adhesion of ice.

[0038] Optionally, the chute 11 is formed by strip plates fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ice basket body 10. Each chute 11 is formed by two strip plates vertically fixed to the inner wall, forming a U-shaped guide channel.

[0039] The height of the baffle 30 is 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the height of the side wall of the ice basket body 10.

[0040] The height of the baffle 30 is 3 / 4 of the height of the side wall of the ice basket body 10, ensuring that ice blocks will not overflow into the second containment compartment 102.

[0041] The inner wall of the ice basket body 10 is provided with a sliding groove 11, and the baffle 30 is detachably connected to the sliding groove 11 by sliding insertion. The two sides of the baffle 30 are inserted into the sliding groove 11, and the detachable installation is achieved by vertical sliding insertion. After installation, the baffle 30 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the ice basket.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] This embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted ice maker, including an ice maker body 200 and an ice storage basket disposed below its ice outlet 202, wherein the ice storage basket is the ice storage basket for the vehicle-mounted ice maker.

[0044] The cold air passage of the ice maker body 200 extends above the second storage compartment 102, and the cold air outlet faces the second storage compartment 102. This allows the cold air to concentrate and cover the items stored in the second storage compartment 102, improving refrigeration efficiency.

[0045] Explanation: During the operation of the vehicle-mounted ice maker, ice blocks produced by the ice maker body 200 fall vertically from the ice outlet 202 into the first storage compartment 101 of the ice storage basket. At this time, the removable baffle 30 effectively buffers the impact of the falling ice blocks through its wave-shaped structure, preventing ice blocks from splashing. At the same time, the nano-ice-repellent coating on the surface of the baffle 30 significantly reduces the probability of ice block adhesion, ensuring that the ice blocks accumulate smoothly in the first storage compartment 101. As the ice blocks continue to accumulate, cold air naturally permeates into the second storage compartment 102 through the vertical strip-shaped vent holes 31 on the baffle 30. Combined with the cold air channel 201 extending from the ice maker body 200 to the top of the second storage compartment 102 to deliver cold air in a directional manner, the beverages or food stored in the second storage compartment 102 are continuously refrigerated in a low-temperature environment of 0–5℃. Users can pull up the baffle 30 at any time as needed, and remove or adjust the position of the baffle 30 through the slide 11 to change the volume ratio of the two compartments; the vibration during vehicle operation is offset by the interference fit structure between the baffle 30 and the slide 11 and the anti-slip rubber pad at the bottom of the ice basket, ensuring the stability of the compartments, and ultimately achieving the dual-function coordinated operation of ice block receiving and item refrigeration.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
