Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the existing technology, the air inlet structure of the ice maker is not adjustable, and the air intake of the ice maker cannot be adjusted according to the needs. When the ice is close to being ready, the excessive air intake of the ice maker can easily cause the ice to crack, resulting in low reliability of the ice maker. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of the present invention is to provide an ice maker that improves the reliability of the ice maker.

[0004] The second objective of this invention is to provide a refrigerator that includes the ice maker described in the above embodiments.

[0005] According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the ice maker includes: an ice maker body, an ice-making box, and an air duct structure. The ice maker body forms an accommodating space; the ice-making box is disposed within the accommodating space and is rotatably connected to the ice maker body within the accommodating space; the air duct structure defines an air inlet channel, the air inlet channel communicates with the accommodating space, and the air duct structure is configured to adjust the air intake volume entering the accommodating space through the air inlet channel. The air duct structure includes: at least one first baffle, one end of which is rotatably connected to the ice maker body for adjusting the air intake volume of the air inlet channel.

[0006] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the ice maker is equipped with a first baffle that is rotatably connected to the ice maker body. This allows for adjustment of the air intake volume of cold air entering the accommodating space through the air intake channel according to actual needs. When ice making begins, rotating the first baffle increases the air intake volume of the air intake channel, which can prevent the ice making time from being too long due to insufficient air intake, thereby improving the ice making efficiency of the ice maker. When the ice is almost ready, rotating the first baffle decreases the air intake volume of the air intake channel, thereby preventing the ice from cracking due to excessive air intake, improving the ice making quality of the ice maker, and improving the reliability of the ice maker.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first baffle is configured as at least one sidewall of the air duct structure, one end of the first baffle is rotatably connected to the ice maker body, and the other end of the first baffle is swingable relative to the ice maker body to change the air intake area and / or air intake direction of the air intake duct.

[0008] This allows the first baffle to rotate while facilitating its fixation to the ice maker body. It also allows for adjustment of the airflow volume of cold air entering the containment space through the air inlet channel, thus improving the adaptability of the ice maker.

[0009] In some embodiments, there are multiple first baffles, which are spaced apart along a first direction. The air duct structure extends along a second direction. At least a portion of the multiple first baffles and the ice maker body defines the air inlet channel. The other ends of the multiple first baffles swing toward or away from each other along the first direction. The first direction and the second direction are orthogonal.

[0010] This provides guidance for the cold air to enter the ice maker, making it easier to quickly adjust the air intake area and / or air intake direction of the air intake channel, thereby quickly adjusting the amount of cold air entering the containment space through the air intake channel and improving the adaptability and reliability of the ice maker.

[0011] In some embodiments, one of the first baffle and the ice maker body is provided with a fixing post, and the other of the first baffle and the ice maker body is provided with a fixing hole, the fixing hole being rotatably connected to the fixing post.

[0012] This allows the first baffle to rotate while facilitating its fixation to the ice maker body, thus improving the adjustment efficiency and installation reliability of the first baffle.

[0013] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the fixing post is polygonal, and the cross-sectional shape of the inner wall of the fixing hole is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the fixing post.

[0014] This improves the stability of the connection between the first baffle and the ice maker body, avoids relative sliding or rotation, facilitates stepped adjustment, and makes operation easier.

[0015] In some embodiments, the accommodating space has an opening, which is disposed opposite to the air duct structure along a second direction; the air duct structure further includes a second baffle, which is disposed at the opening, and at least one end of the second baffle along a first direction is connected to the ice maker body, and the second baffle is rotatable about the first direction for adjusting the angle at which air entering from the air inlet channel flows toward the ice maker box.

[0016] This adjusts the angle at which cold air flows from the air inlet at the opening to the ice maker, making it easier for the cold air to flow to the end of the ice maker away from the second baffle, thus improving the ice-making efficiency of the end of the ice maker away from the second baffle.

[0017] In some embodiments, a portion of the sidewall of the ice maker body, which is disposed opposite to the second baffle, extends along a second direction and is inclined toward the ice maker box.

[0018] This increases the speed at which cold air flows from the air intake channel defined by the second baffle and the ice maker body to the ice container, thereby shortening the ice-making time and improving the ice-making efficiency of the ice maker.

[0019] In some embodiments, the second baffle forms an angle α with the partial sidewall, wherein α satisfies: 0°≤α≤60°.

[0020] This ensures sufficient airflow into the ice maker while allowing for easy adjustment of the angle at which cold air flows from the air intake channel defined by the second baffle and the aforementioned side wall to the ice maker, thereby improving the overall ice-making efficiency of the ice maker.

[0021] In some embodiments, the ice maker further includes a drive member disposed on the ice maker body, the drive member being drive-connected to at least one of the first baffle and the second baffle.

[0022] This can improve the automation level of the ice maker, while also increasing the adjustment efficiency and accuracy of the first and second baffles, and reducing labor costs.

[0023] According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerator includes: a shell, a refrigeration duct component, and an ice maker. The shell defines a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment. A water storage box is provided in the refrigerator compartment, and an ice storage box is provided in the freezer compartment. The refrigeration duct component is disposed within the shell and has at least one air outlet. The ice maker is any one of the ice makers described in the above embodiments. The ice maker is disposed in the freezer compartment. The air outlet is connected to the air inlet channel of the ice maker. The ice maker is connected to the water storage box. The ice maker is used to make ice cubes from water entering the ice maker from the water storage box and store them in the ice storage box.

[0024] This avoids excessive airflow that could cause ice to crack, thus improving the ice-making quality of the ice maker; it also avoids insufficient airflow that could prolong the ice-making time, thus improving the ice-making efficiency of the ice maker; it increases the ice-making efficiency of the end of the ice container furthest from the air intake channel; it improves the uniformity of ice production; and it enhances the reliability of the refrigerator.

[0025] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Figures 1-6 The ice maker 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an ice maker body 10, an ice container 11, and an air duct structure 12.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ice maker body 10 has a receiving space; an ice box 11 is disposed in the receiving space and is rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10 in the receiving space; an air duct structure 12 defines an air inlet channel, which is connected to the receiving space, and the air duct structure 12 is configured to adjust the air intake volume entering the receiving space through the air inlet channel. The air duct structure 12 includes at least one first baffle 13, one end of which is rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10 for adjusting the air intake volume of the air inlet channel.

[0030] Cold air enters the receiving space through the air inlet channel defined by the air duct structure 12 and blows towards the ice maker 11. The cold air circulates continuously, constantly carrying away heat, causing the temperature of the water in the ice maker 11 to gradually decrease until ice cubes are formed. The ice maker 11 is rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10 within the receiving space, making it easy to flip the ice maker 11 so that the ice cubes can fall off, thus making it easy for the user to take out the ice. The end of the first baffle 13 adjacent to the ice maker 11 is rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10. By rotating the first baffle 13 in different directions, the amount of cold air entering the air inlet channel can be increased or decreased.

[0031] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the ice maker 100 is provided with a first baffle 13 that is rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10. This facilitates the adjustment of the air intake volume of cold air entering the accommodating space through the air intake channel according to actual needs. When ice making begins, the first baffle 13 is rotated to increase the air intake volume of the air intake channel, which can prevent the ice making time from being too long due to insufficient air intake, thereby improving the ice making efficiency of the ice maker 100. When the ice is nearly mature, the first baffle 13 is rotated to reduce the air intake volume of the air intake channel, thereby preventing the ice from cracking due to excessive air intake, improving the ice making quality of the ice maker 100, and improving the reliability of the ice maker 100.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first baffle 13 is configured as at least one side wall of the air duct structure 12. One end of the first baffle 13 is rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10, and the other end of the first baffle 13 is swayable relative to the ice maker body 10 to change the air intake area and / or air intake direction of the air intake channel.

[0033] One end of the first baffle 13 adjacent to the ice box 11 is rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10. The other end of the first baffle 13 away from the ice box 11 can rotate around the connection between the first baffle 13 and the ice maker body 10. By rotating the other end of the first baffle 13 away from the ice box 11, the air intake area and / or air intake direction of the air intake channel can be changed according to the actual situation, thereby changing the amount of cold air entering the accommodating space through the air intake channel.

[0034] Thus, by rotatably connecting one end of the first baffle 13 to the ice maker body 10, the first baffle 13 can be rotated while facilitating its fixation to the ice maker body 10. By swinging the other end of the first baffle 13 relative to the ice maker body 10, the air intake area and / or air intake direction of the air intake channel can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the amount of cold air entering the accommodating space through the air intake channel and improving the adaptability of the ice maker 100.

[0035] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6As shown, there are multiple first baffles 13, which are spaced apart along the first direction A. The air duct structure 12 extends along the second direction B. The multiple first baffles 13 and at least part of the ice maker body 10 define an air inlet channel. The other ends of the multiple first baffles 13 swing toward each other or away from each other along the first direction A. The first direction A and the second direction B are orthogonal.

[0036] In this application, there are two first baffles 13. The two first baffles 13 and at least part of the ice maker body 10 define an air inlet channel. The two first baffles 13 are rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10 at one end along the second direction B near the ice box 11, and are spaced apart along the first direction A. The other ends of the two first baffles 13 away from the ice box 11 along the second direction B can swing along the first direction A toward each other or away from each other, thereby changing the air inlet area of ​​the air inlet channel. The two first baffles 13 can swing to a designated position as needed, thereby changing the air inlet direction of cold air entering the air inlet channel.

[0037] Therefore, by setting multiple first baffles 13, it is easy to form an air intake channel, which provides a guiding effect for cold air to enter the ice maker 11. By swinging the other end of the multiple first baffles 13 in the first direction A toward each other or away from each other, it is easy to adjust the air intake area and / or air intake direction of the air intake channel more quickly, thereby quickly adjusting the air intake volume of cold air entering the accommodating space through the air intake channel, and improving the adaptability and reliability of the ice maker 100.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, a fixing post 15 is provided on one of the first baffle 13 and the ice maker body 10, and a fixing hole is provided on the other of the first baffle 13 and the ice maker body 10. The fixing hole is rotatably connected to the fixing post 15.

[0039] Taking an ice maker body 10 with a fixing post 15 and a first baffle 13 with fixing holes as an example, the fixing post 15 on the ice maker body 10 is along... Figure 4 The fixing hole extends along the third direction C in the first baffle 13 adjacent to the ice box 11, and the fixing hole on the first baffle 13 is rotatably connected to the fixing post 15 on the ice maker body 10.

[0040] Therefore, by providing fixing holes and fixing posts 15 on the first baffle 13 and the ice maker body 10 respectively, the fixing holes and fixing posts 15 are rotatably connected, thereby making the end of the first baffle 13 adjacent to the ice box 11 rotatably connected to the ice maker body 10. This allows the first baffle 13 to rotate while facilitating the fixing of the first baffle 13 to the ice maker body 10, improving the adjustment efficiency and installation reliability of the first baffle 13.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the fixing post 15 is polygonal, and the cross-sectional shape of the inner wall of the fixing hole is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the fixing post 15.

[0042] For example, when the cross-sectional shape of the fixing post 15 and the inner wall of the fixing hole is quadrilateral or hexagonal, a stable locking position can be formed every 90° or 60° rotation when the side wall of the fixing post 15 contacts the inner wall of the fixing hole. Thus, by matching the cross-sectional shape of the inner wall of the fixing hole with the cross-sectional shape of the fixing post 15, the stability of the connection between the first baffle 13 and the ice maker body 10 can be improved, avoiding relative sliding or rotation. At the same time, the polygonal cross-sectional shape of the fixing post 15 and the inner wall of the fixing hole facilitates stepped adjustment. The first baffle 13 can be fixed in a designated position after rotating a certain angle without the need for an additional locking device, thus achieving the positioning of the first baffle 13, facilitating operation, and preventing the first baffle 13 from shaking, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the air duct structure 12.

[0043] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the fixing post 15 and the inner wall of the fixing hole is a polygon. The number of sides of the polygon is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs.

[0044] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the accommodating space has an opening, which is positioned opposite to the air duct structure 12 along the second direction B. The air duct structure 12 also includes a second baffle 14, which is located at the opening. At least one end of the second baffle 14 along the first direction A is connected to the ice maker body 10. The second baffle 14 is rotatable around the first direction A to adjust the angle at which the air entering from the air inlet flows toward the ice maker box 11.

[0045] An opening is formed within the accommodating space, positioned between the first baffle 13 and the ice-making container 11 along the second direction B, and opposite the air duct structure 12 along the second direction B. In this embodiment, the second baffle 14 is connected to the ice maker body 10 at both ends along the first direction A, and the second baffle 14 is rotatable around the first direction A. At least a portion of the ice maker body 10 and the second baffle 14 define an air inlet channel. Cold air flows from the air inlet channel defined by the multiple first baffles 13 and at least a portion of the ice maker body 10 to the air inlet channel defined by the second baffle 14 and at least a portion of the ice maker body 10, and then flows to the ice-making container 11. Rotating the second baffle 14 to reduce the angle between the second baffle 14 and the second direction B allows the cold air to flow towards the end of the ice-making container 11 away from the second baffle 14; rotating the second baffle 14 to increase the angle between the second baffle 14 and the second direction B allows the cold air to flow towards the other end of the ice-making container 11 adjacent to the second baffle 14.

[0046] Therefore, by placing the second baffle 14 at the opening and making the second baffle 14 rotatable around the first direction A, the angle at which cold air flows from the air inlet channel at the opening to the ice maker 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that the cold air flows to the end of the ice maker 11 away from the second baffle 14, thereby improving the ice-making efficiency of the end of the ice maker 11 away from the second baffle 14.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the portion of the sidewall of the ice maker body 10 that is opposite to the second baffle 14 extends along the second direction B and is inclined toward the ice box 11.

[0048] The ice maker body 10 and the second baffle 14 are respectively positioned opposite each other along a third direction C. The sidewalls of these two baffles are inclined along a second direction B towards the ice container 11 and along a third direction C away from the second baffle 14. These opposing sidewalls together define an air inlet channel. Cold air flows from the air inlet channel defined by the multiple first baffles 13 and the ice maker body 10 to the air inlet channel defined by the second baffle 14 and the ice maker body 10, and then flows to the ice container 11.

[0049] Therefore, by tilting the sidewalls of the ice maker body 10 and the second baffle 14 relative to each other, the speed at which cold air flows from the air inlet channel defined by the second baffle 14 and the ice maker body 10 to the ice box 11 can be increased, thereby shortening the ice-making time and improving the ice-making efficiency of the ice maker 100.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second baffle 14 forms an angle α with the partial sidewall, where α satisfies: 0°≤α≤60°.

[0051] When the angle between the portion of the sidewall of the ice maker body 10 and the second baffle 14 that is opposite to each other is greater than 60°, the angle between the portion of the sidewall of the ice maker body 10 and the second baffle 14 that is opposite to each other is too large. This may result in the air intake area of ​​the air intake channel between the end of the second baffle 14 away from the ice container 11 and the portion of the sidewall of the ice maker body 10 being too small, thereby reducing the air intake volume of the ice container 11 and reducing the ice-making efficiency of the ice maker 100. For example, α = 30°.

[0052] Therefore, by limiting the angle range formed by the partial sidewall of the ice maker body 10 and the second baffle 14, which are respectively arranged opposite to each other, it is ensured that the ice box 11 has sufficient air intake, while making it easy to adjust the angle of cold air flowing from the air intake channel defined by the second baffle 14 and the partial sidewall to the ice box 11 according to actual needs, thereby improving the ice-making efficiency of the end of the ice box 11 away from the air intake channel and improving the overall ice-making efficiency of the ice maker 100.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the ice maker 100 further includes a driving member, which is disposed on the ice maker body 10 and is connected in a transmission manner to at least one of the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 14.

[0054] The driving component can drive either the first baffle 13 or the second baffle 14 to rotate, or it can drive both the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 14 to rotate simultaneously. This improves the automation level of the ice maker 100, while also increasing the adjustment efficiency and precision of the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 14, and reducing labor costs.

[0055] According to the second aspect embodiment of the refrigerator 1 of the present utility model, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the refrigerator 1 includes: a shell 20, a freezing air duct component 21, and an ice maker 100. The shell 20 defines a refrigerator compartment 25 and a freezer compartment 23. A water storage box 26 is provided in the refrigerator compartment 25, and an ice storage box 24 is provided in the freezer compartment 23. The freezing air duct component 21 is disposed in the shell 20 and has at least one air outlet 22. The ice maker 100 is any of the ice maker 100 in the above embodiments. The ice maker 100 is disposed in the freezer compartment 23. The air outlet 22 is connected to the air inlet channel of the ice maker 100. The ice maker 100 is connected to the water storage box 26. The ice maker 100 is used to make ice cubes from the water in the water storage box 26 that enters the ice maker 100 and store them in the ice storage box 24.

[0056] The ice maker 100 is connected to the water storage box 26 via a water pipe assembly. Water in the water storage box 26 can be transported to the ice maker box 11 through the water pipe assembly. The cold air generated by the evaporator in the refrigerator 1 can be blown from the air outlet 22 on the freezing air duct 21 to the air inlet channel of the ice maker 100. Specifically, the cold air flows from the air inlet channel defined by the multiple first baffles 13 and the ice maker body 10 to the air inlet channel defined by the second baffle 14 and the ice maker body 10, and then flows to the ice maker box 11. The cold air continues to circulate, constantly taking away heat, so that the temperature of the water in the ice maker box 11 gradually decreases until ice is formed. Then the ice maker box 11 is flipped over, so that the ice falls into the ice storage box 24.

[0057] In this application, the angle of the first baffle 13 can be adjusted according to different freezing air duct components 21 to improve the adaptability of the air duct structure 12 and improve the space utilization of the refrigerator 1. At the same time, rotating the first baffle 13 as needed can adjust the amount of cold air entering the storage space through the air inlet channel, avoiding excessive air intake that could cause ice to crack, thus improving the ice-making quality of the ice maker 100. It can also avoid insufficient air intake that could prolong the ice-making time, thus improving the ice-making efficiency of the ice maker 100. Rotating the second baffle 14 as needed can adjust the angle at which cold air flows from the second baffle 14 and the air inlet channel defined by the ice maker body 10 to the ice box 11, thereby improving the ice-making efficiency of the end of the ice box 11 away from the air inlet channel. At the same time, it can improve the uniformity of ice making by the ice maker 100, ensure the uniform shape of the ice, and improve the reliability of the refrigerator 1.
