Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, and in particular to an ice storage bin and an ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, ice has become a common ingredient in daily life, and miniature ice makers are gradually entering homes. Especially in the hot summer, people can easily make ice at home and enjoy the refreshing taste of drinks and beer made with ice.

[0003] Current ice makers generally include a housing containing a water supply system, an ice-making and de-icing system, and an ice-removing system. The water supply system includes a water tank, an ice-making water tank with rotating shafts at both ends, water pipes, and a water pump that can lead water from the water tank to the ice-making water tank through the water pipes. The ice-making and de-icing system includes a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator connected sequentially according to the refrigerant flow direction. The ice-making part of the evaporator is placed in the water in the ice-making water tank to form the desired ice blocks, such as bullet ice. The ice-removing system includes a motor fixed in the main housing that drives the ice-making water tank to rotate, an ice-removing plate connected to the ice-making water tank and capable of rotating around the connection, and an ice basket for collecting ice. The ice-removing system can collect and store ice blocks that fall from the evaporator onto the ice-removing plate.

[0004] The ice basket has handles at both ends for users to grip, and an ice-retrieving cover is installed on top of the basket and covers the box. When a user needs to retrieve a small amount of ice, they need to remove the ice-retrieving cover first before taking the required ice from the ice basket. Similarly, when a user needs to retrieve a large amount of ice, they need to remove the ice-retrieving cover first, then use the handles to take the ice basket out of the box, and then take the required ice from the basket. However, each ice retrieval operation requires removing and installing the ice-retrieving cover, which is a cumbersome and inefficient process, causing inconvenience to users.

[0005] In addition, the existing ice basket has overflow holes on both sides, which are used to overflow the water in the ice basket (such as water from melting ice or water from the ice itself) into the water tank below; however, when the user takes out the ice basket, the water in the ice basket is easily spilled out of the cabinet or other places outside the ice maker due to shaking, and the water may even fall on the user's clothes, which increases the cleaning process and greatly affects the user's experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ice storage bin and an ice maker that can improve the disassembly and installation efficiency of the ice storage bin, reduce the ice removal process, thereby improving the ice removal efficiency and making it easier for users to remove ice.

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an ice storage compartment, comprising an ice storage compartment body installed in the mounting cavity of an ice maker. The ice maker has a disassembly and installation port communicating with the mounting cavity. The ice storage compartment body has an ice storage tank for storing ice blocks. First sliding components are respectively provided on both sides of the ice storage compartment body, and second sliding components are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting cavity. The first sliding components and the second sliding components are adapted to each other, allowing the ice storage compartment body to be slidably connected to the mounting cavity via the disassembly and installation port. A handle is provided at one end of the ice storage compartment body, and the handle is exposed outside the disassembly and installation port.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, the second sliding component includes a limiting slider disposed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and a sliding channel is formed between the limiting slider and one side of the mounting cavity; the first sliding component includes a slide rail protrusion disposed on the outer wall of the ice storage chamber body, and the slide rail protrusion slides into the mounting cavity through the sliding channel.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, locking protrusions are provided on the outer side walls at both ends of the ice storage compartment body. When the ice storage compartment body slides into the mounting cavity, the locking protrusions engage with the locking holes in the limiting slider.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the slide rail protrusion includes a horizontal sliding part and an inclined sliding part connected in sequence. The horizontal sliding part is close to the handle, and the inclined sliding part has an upwardly extending limiting part at one end away from the handle. The upper part of the end of the ice storage compartment body away from the handle has a limiting recess, and the limiting recess has an inclined abutment part. When the ice storage compartment body is pulled out for use, the ice storage compartment body slides outward by tilting through the inclined sliding part and the limiting recess, so that the other end of the limiting recess abuts against the inner sidewall of the disassembly and installation port, and the limiting part abuts against the limiting slider.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, the ice storage compartment body is provided with a first limiting abutment part on each of the four sides of the end away from the mounting cavity, and a second limiting abutment part is provided on each of the four sides of the disassembly and installation port. The first limiting abutment part and the second limiting abutment part abut against each other. The other end of the ice storage compartment body abuts against the inner side wall of the mounting cavity.

[0012] As an improvement to the above solution, the ice maker has an inner shell, and a water tank is provided at one end of the inner shell near the disassembly and installation port. The inner shell and the water tank enclose the installation cavity, which is located above the water tank. The upper end of the water tank abuts against the bottom of the ice storage tank body located in the installation cavity, and the upper part of the water tank has an opening. The bottom of the ice storage tank is provided with a sealing component and at least one water outlet. The sealing component is used to close the water outlet, and the water outlet communicates with the inner cavity of the water tank through the opening. When the ice storage tank body slides into the installation cavity, the opening end of the sealing component passes through the shell wall of the ice storage tank body and abuts against the trigger part in the installation cavity to drive the sealing component to open the water outlet.

[0013] As an improvement to the above solution, the sealing assembly includes a sealing cover, which contains a spring and a sealing component. The two ends of the spring are connected to the sealing cover and the sealing component, respectively. The sealing component is used to close the water outlet. The sealing component contains a driving rod, which passes through the shell wall of the ice storage tank body and abuts against the trigger part, so that the spring is in a compressed state and drives the sealing component to open the water outlet.

[0014] As an improvement to the above solution, the bottom of the ice storage tank is also provided with a first mounting seat, which is located on both sides of the water outlet. The shell wall of the ice storage tank body is provided with mounting holes that correspond to the first mounting seats one by one. The sealing cover is provided with a second mounting seat that corresponds to the first mounting seat one by one. The second mounting seat is adapted to and abuts against the first mounting seat. One end of the external fastener passes through the mounting hole and the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat in sequence and is threadedly connected.

[0015] As an improvement to the above solution, the storage tank is provided with a water outlet tank, and the water outlet tank is provided with the sealing component and the water outlet hole; the outer wall of the water outlet tank is provided with a support component, the support component is located on both sides of the drive rod, and the height of the support component is greater than or equal to the length of the drive rod that can extend out of the ice storage chamber in the uncompressed state.

[0016] This utility model also provides an ice maker, including a body, on which the above-mentioned ice storage compartment is provided.

[0017] The beneficial effects of implementing this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This utility model allows the ice storage compartment to be slidably installed in or pulled out of the ice maker via the handle, making it easy to use or remove. This reduces the ice-removal process, improves ice-removal efficiency, and facilitates ice-removal operations for users.

[0019] In addition, the sealing component installed in the ice storage compartment can seal the water outlet of the ice storage compartment. When the ice storage compartment slides into the mounting cavity installed in the ice storage compartment, the opening end of the sealing component passes through the shell wall of the ice storage compartment and matches and abuts against the trigger part in the mounting cavity to drive the sealing component to open the water outlet, realize the drainage function, avoid affecting the ice storage operation, and prevent water from accumulating in the ice storage compartment and breeding bacteria. Moreover, when the opening end of the sealing component is in the non-triggered state, it can seal the water outlet of the ice storage compartment, thereby realizing the water sealing function, preventing water leakage when the ice storage compartment is moved or placed outside the ice maker, reducing unnecessary cleaning procedures, and improving the user experience.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides an ice storage compartment, including an ice storage compartment body 3 installed in the mounting cavity 2 of an ice maker 1. The ice maker 1 is provided with a disassembly and installation port 11 communicating with the mounting cavity 2. The ice storage compartment body 3 is provided with an ice storage tank 31 for storing ice blocks. The ice storage compartment body 3 is provided with first sliding components 32 on both sides, and the mounting cavity 2 is provided with second sliding components 21 on both sides. The first sliding components 32 and the second sliding components 21 are adapted to be connected so that the ice storage compartment body 3 is slidably connected to the mounting cavity 2 through the disassembly and installation port 11, thereby improving the disassembly and installation efficiency of the ice storage compartment body 3. One end of the ice storage compartment body 3 is provided with a handle 33, which is exposed outside the disassembly and installation port 11, so that the user can grasp the handle 33 to operate the sliding installation or disassembly of the ice storage compartment body 3.

[0029] Before ice making and storage, the user can operate the ice storage compartment 3 by grasping the handle 33 to slide it into the installation cavity 2 through the disassembly and installation port 11, thus installing the ice storage compartment 3. During subsequent ice making and storage, the ice storage compartment 3 can then store ice. When the user needs to take a small amount of ice, they can pull the ice storage compartment 3 out of the ice maker 1 using the handle 33, or slide it out of a designated space for easy access. Alternatively, when the user needs to take a large amount of ice, they can remove the ice storage compartment 3 from the ice maker 1 using the handle 33 to easily take or pour out large quantities of ice to meet their ice needs. Therefore, the user can directly slide the ice storage compartment 3 into or out of the ice maker 1 using the handle 33, resulting in high efficiency, reducing ice-taking steps, improving efficiency, and facilitating ice-taking operations.

[0030] Specifically, the second sliding component 21 includes a limiting slider 211 disposed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 2, and a sliding channel 22 is formed between the limiting slider 211 and the bottom side of the mounting cavity 2; the first sliding component 32 includes a slide rail protrusion 321 disposed on the outer side wall of the ice storage compartment body 3, and the slide rail protrusion 321 slides into the mounting cavity 2 through the sliding channel 22. During installation, the ice storage compartment body 3 can slide into the mounting cavity 2 along the corresponding sliding channel 22 via the slide rail protrusions 321 on both sides to complete the installation of the ice storage compartment; correspondingly, the user can also operate the ice storage compartment body 3 to slide out of the mounting cavity 2 or the ice maker 1 along the sliding channel 22 to complete the pulling out or disassembly of the ice storage compartment; the sliding structure can improve the disassembly and installation efficiency of the ice storage compartment body 3, and improve the user's ice retrieval efficiency and user experience.

[0031] Furthermore, locking protrusions 34 are respectively provided on the outer side walls of both ends of the ice storage compartment body 3. When the ice storage compartment body 3 slides into the mounting cavity 2, the locking protrusions 34 engage with the locking holes in the limiting slider 211, so that the ice storage compartment body 3 is relatively fixed in the ice maker 1, improving its installation firmness. During the transportation of the ice maker 1, the ice storage compartment body 3 can be prevented from easily shaking or even falling out of the ice maker 1, thereby causing unnecessary structural damage.

[0032] To make it easier for users to pull out and use, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the slide rail convex strip 321 includes a horizontal sliding part 322 and an inclined sliding part 323 connected in sequence. The horizontal sliding part 322 is close to the handle part 33, and the inclined sliding part 323 has an upwardly extending limiting part 324 at one end away from the handle part 33. The upper part of the ice storage compartment body 3 at one end away from the handle part 33 has a limiting recess 35, and the limiting recess 35 has an inclined abutment part 36. When the ice storage compartment body 3 is pulled out for use, the locking protrusion 34 on the ice storage compartment body 3 separates from the locking hole. The ice storage compartment body 3 first slides horizontally outward through the horizontal sliding part 322 and the disassembly and installation port 11, and then slides outward and inclined downward through the inclined sliding part 323 and the limiting recess 35. At this time, the disassembly and installation port 11... The upper end slides into the limiting recess 35 and slides against the inclined abutment part 36. Both the inclined abutment part 36 and the inclined sliding part 323 are inclined downwards, so that one end of the ice storage body 3 located in the mounting cavity 2 can be tilted upwards, thereby allowing the ice storage body 3 to slide outwards and inclined downwards. When the ice storage body 3 slides to the other end of the limiting recess 35 and is limited to abutting against the inner side wall of the disassembly mounting port 11, and when the front end of the limiting part 324 is limited to abutting against the rear end of the limiting slider 211, the ice storage body 3 can be relatively fixed on the ice maker 1. At this time, it is at its maximum pull-out length and the pull-out space is the largest, which makes it convenient for users to take out a large amount of ice at one time without disassembling the ice storage body 3, thus meeting the user's actual ice needs.

[0033] Preferably, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the ice storage body 3 is provided with a first limiting abutment part 37 on all four sides of the end away from the mounting cavity 2, and a second limiting abutment part 12 is provided on the outer side wall of the disassembly and installation port 11. The first limiting abutment part 37 and the second limiting abutment part 12 abut against each other respectively. The other end of the ice storage body 3 abuts against the inner side wall of the mounting cavity 2, thereby limiting the sliding installation of the ice storage body 3, avoiding excessive sliding force that could damage the internal structure or components of the ice maker 1, and improving the safety of product use.

[0034] To improve the drainage and water sealing effect of the ice storage compartment 3, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the ice maker 1 has an inner shell 13. A water tank 14 is located at one end of the inner shell 13 near the disassembly / installation port 11. The inner shell 13 and the water tank 14 enclose each other to form an installation cavity 2, which is located above the water tank 14. The upper end of the water tank 14 abuts against the bottom of the ice storage chamber body 3 located in the installation cavity 2. The upper part of the water tank 14 has an opening 15 to receive water flowing out of the ice storage chamber body 3. The bottom of the ice storage tank 31 has a sealing component 311 and at least one water outlet 7. The sealing component 311 is used to close the water outlet 7 to achieve a water-sealing effect. The water outlet 7 communicates with the inner cavity of the water tank 14 through the opening 15 to achieve a drainage effect. When the ice storage compartment body 3 slides into the mounting cavity 2 installed in the ice storage compartment body 3, the opening end of the sealing component 311 passes through the shell wall of the ice storage compartment body 3 and matches and abuts against the trigger part 23 in the mounting cavity 2, so as to drive the sealing component 311 to open the water outlet 7, realize the drainage function, avoid affecting the ice storage operation, and at the same time prevent water from accumulating in the ice storage compartment body 3 and breeding bacteria; and when the opening end of the sealing component 311 is in the non-triggered state, such as when the ice storage compartment body 3 is pulled out or disassembled, the opening end of the sealing component 311 separates from the trigger part, and the sealing component 311 can seal the water outlet 7 of the ice storage compartment body 3, thereby realizing the water sealing function, preventing water leakage when the ice storage compartment body 3 is moved or placed outside the ice maker 1, reducing unnecessary cleaning procedures, and improving the user experience.

[0035] Furthermore, the sealing assembly 311 includes a sealing cover 312, within which a spring 313 and a sealing component 314 are provided. The two ends of the spring 313 are connected to the sealing cover 312 and the sealing component 314, respectively. The sealing component 314, in its initial state, can close the water outlet 7, and a drive rod 315 is provided within it. A water flow channel is provided between the sealing cover 312 and the ice storage tank 31, allowing water to flow through the channel into the water outlet 7. When the ice storage tank body 3 is installed in place, the drive rod 315 passes through the shell wall of the ice storage tank body 3 and abuts against the trigger part 23, causing the spring 313 to be compressed and driving the sealing component 314 to move, thereby opening the water outlet 7 and guiding the water in the ice storage tank body 3 into the water tank 14, achieving water recycling. When the drive rod 315 is separated from the trigger part 23, that is, when the sealing component 311 is in the non-triggered state, the sealing component 314 can be driven to re-close the water outlet 7 by the reset force of the spring 313, so as to realize the water sealing function and prevent water leakage from the ice storage chamber body 3 when it is not in the ice storage working state.

[0036] The ice storage tank 31 is further provided with a first mounting seat 316 at the bottom, which is located on both sides of the water outlet 7. The shell wall of the ice storage tank body 3 is provided with mounting holes 37 that correspond to the first mounting seats 316. The sealing cover 312 is provided with a second mounting seat 317 that corresponds to the first mounting seat 316. The second mounting seat 317 is adapted to and abuts against the first mounting seat 316. One end of the external fastener passes through the mounting hole 37 and the first mounting seat 316 and the second mounting seat 317 in sequence and is threadedly connected to them, so that the sealing cover 312 is fixedly installed in the ice storage tank 31, thereby improving the installation firmness and usage stability of the sealing assembly 311.

[0037] To further improve the drainage effect of the ice storage compartment 3, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the storage tank is provided with a water outlet 318, and the water outlet 318 is provided with the sealing component 311 and the water outlet 7. By setting the water outlet 318 with a lower depth, the water in the storage tank can be diverted to the water outlet 318, and then drained through the water outlet 7 of the water outlet 318, which can further improve the water discharge effect of the ice storage tank body 3.

[0038] The outer wall of the water outlet trough 318 is provided with a support member 319, which is located on both sides of the drive rod 315. The height of the support member 319 is greater than or equal to the length of the drive rod 315 that can extend out of the ice storage chamber in the uncompressed state. When the disassembled ice storage chamber body 3 is placed in another position, the support member 319 can contact the placement surface, avoiding the drive rod 315 from contacting the placement surface and causing false triggering, thereby improving the water sealing stability and thus improving the water sealing effect.

[0039] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ice maker 1 is equipped with at least one sensor 16, which is located above the ice storage compartment and is used to detect the ice storage status in the ice storage compartment body 3. This sensor 16 is connected to the main controller of the ice maker 1. After multiple ice-making cycles, when the ice storage compartment body 3 is full of ice, it can send an ice storage status signal to the main controller, causing the main controller to control an alarm device to issue an alarm signal, such as a warning light or a warning horn, to remind the user to remove ice and clean the ice storage compartment body 3.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model also provides an ice maker, including a body 4, on which the aforementioned ice storage compartment 5 is provided. Since the ice storage compartment 5 has the aforementioned technical effects, the ice maker including the ice storage compartment 5 should also have the aforementioned technical effects, and will not be described in further detail here.

[0041] In summary, this utility model allows the ice storage compartment to be slidably installed in or pulled out of the ice maker via the handle, resulting in high installation and disassembly efficiency, thereby reducing ice-retrieving steps, improving ice-retrieving efficiency, and facilitating ice-retrieving operations for users.

[0042] In addition, the sealing component installed in the ice storage compartment can seal the water outlet of the ice storage compartment. When the ice storage compartment slides into the mounting cavity installed in the ice storage compartment, the opening end of the sealing component passes through the shell wall of the ice storage compartment and matches and abuts against the trigger part in the mounting cavity to drive the sealing component to open the water outlet, realize the drainage function, avoid affecting the ice storage operation, and prevent water from accumulating in the ice storage compartment and breeding bacteria. Moreover, when the opening end of the sealing component is in the non-triggered state, it can seal the water outlet of the ice storage compartment, thereby realizing the water sealing function, preventing water leakage when the ice storage compartment is moved or placed outside the ice maker, reducing unnecessary cleaning procedures, and improving the user experience.

[0043] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
