[0033] 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.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides an ice tank assembly and a water dispenser technical solution.

[0035] An ice chamber component, comprising:

[0036] Ice chamber body 1, ice chamber body 1 has an ice chamber cavity 2 inside, ice chamber cavity 2 is divided into ice making cavity 3, ice storage cavity 4 and ice water cavity 5 from top to bottom, and ice storage slot 6 is provided on one side of ice storage cavity 4.

[0037] Ice storage box 7, ice storage box 7 is provided with ice storage tank 8, ice storage tank 8 opening upward, ice storage tank 8 is used to receive ice produced by ice making device 27 in ice making chamber 3, ice storage box 7 is inserted into ice storage slot 6, ice storage tank 8 is provided with first water outlet tank 9 at the bottom, ice water chamber 5 receives water flowing out of ice making device 27 and ice blocks.

[0038] The partition 10 is fixed inside the ice chamber 2. The partition 10 is located between the ice water chamber 5 and the ice storage box 7. There is a gap between the partition 10 and the ice storage box 7. The partition 10 is provided with a second water outlet 11.

[0039] Water from the melting ice in the ice storage tank 8 flows from the first outlet 9 onto the partition 10, and then through the second outlet 11 on the partition 10 into the ice-water chamber 5. When the user needs to remove ice, the ice storage box 7 is removed from the ice storage slot 6. At this time, the partition 10 can isolate the ice-water chamber 5 from the outside world, reducing the entry of bacteria or impurities into the ice-water chamber 5 and affecting the hygiene of the ice water.

[0040] The partition 10 is detachably connected to the ice chamber 2. When it is necessary to maintain the inside of the ice chamber 1, the partition 10 can be removed.

[0041] The following is one way to detach the partition 10, such as... Figures 3-9 As shown, a support plate 12 is fixed inside the ice chamber 2. The support plate 12 has a support groove 13, and a support step 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the support groove 13. A partition 10 is placed on the support step 14. The partition 10 includes a connecting end 15, on which an arc-shaped rod 16 is fixed. A limiting protrusion 17 is fixed on the arc-shaped rod 16, and the limiting protrusion 17 is installed below the support plate 12, limiting the support plate 12. When the partition 10 needs to be removed, first press the end of the arc-shaped rod 16 away from the partition 10. The arc-shaped rod 16 deforms, and the limiting protrusion 17 moves away from below the support plate 12. At this point, the partition 10 can be removed, making the removal of the partition 10 very convenient.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom wall of the ice storage box 7 is inclined, and the first water outlet 9 is located at the lower part of the bottom wall of the ice storage box 7, which makes it easier to guide the water from the bottom wall of the ice storage box 7 out of the first water outlet 9.

[0043] like Figure 6-8As shown, the ice storage box 7 includes an insertion front end 18 and an insertion rear end 19. An outer edge 20 is fixed to the opening of the ice storage box 7, and an inverted V-shaped rod 21 is fixed to the outer edge 20. The inverted V-shaped rod 21 has a first inclined surface 22 and a second inclined surface 23. The inverted V-shaped rod 21 is positioned near the insertion rear end 19. A fixing rod 24 is fixed to the inner wall of the ice chamber 2. The connection point of the first inclined surface 22 and the second inclined surface 23 is higher than the lower side of the fixing rod 24. During the insertion of the ice storage box 7 into the ice storage slot 6, the first inclined surface 22 is compressed by the fixing rod 24, causing the inverted V-shaped rod 21 to deform. The first inclined surface 22 compresses past the fixing rod 24, thus the second inclined surface 23 restricts the position of the ice storage box 7. Similarly, when the ice storage box 7 needs to be removed, the second inclined surface 23 compresses past the fixing rod 24. The inverted V-shaped rod 21 serves to limit the position of the ice storage box 7.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, a support frame 25 is fixed to one end of the support plate 12. The support frame 25 is fixedly connected to the ice storage slot 6. The support plate 12 and the ice chamber body 1 are set separately for easy independent processing.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the front end 18 is fixed with a handle 26, which allows the ice storage box 7 to move.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the partition 10 is inclined, and the second water outlet 11 is located at the lower end of the partition 10, so that the water on the partition 10 can be quickly discharged from the second water outlet 11.

[0047] A water dispenser includes the aforementioned ice tank assembly and a water inlet pump. The water inlet pump has a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet is connected to a water source, and the water outlet supplies water to the ice tank assembly. The water source can be bottled drinking water, etc. The water inlet pump draws water to the ice-making device 27 of the ice tank assembly. The ice-making device 27 makes ice from the water and then transports it to the ice storage tank 8. The ice-making device 27 is an existing device and will not be described in detail.

[0048] The water dispenser also includes a filter cartridge, which has a filter inlet and a filter outlet. The filter outlet connects to the filter inlet, and the filter outlet supplies water to the ice tank assembly. The water pump draws water into the filter cartridge through the filter inlet, and the filter cartridge filters the water before delivering it to the ice tank assembly. Of course, this water dispenser is not limited to having a filtration function; it can also be equipped with a heating device. The water pump delivers water to the heating device, which heats the water before dispensing it.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
