DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and are not to be construed as limiting the present application.

[0042] The ice storage bin 15 of the ice-making module 1 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to FIG1 to FIG6 . The ice storage bin 15 has a reasonable shape and is convenient for taking out ice cubes.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 , the ice storage bin 15 of the ice-making module 1 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a bottom wall 151 , a guide wall 152 and a plurality of side walls.

[0044] The outlet wall 152 and multiple side walls are arranged around the bottom wall 151 and together with the bottom wall 151 define an ice storage space 154. The ice storage bin 15 is provided with an ice outlet 155. The outlet wall 152 is connected between the bottom wall 151 and the ice outlet 155 and extends outwardly from bottom to top relative to the bottom wall 151. The lower area of ​​at least one of the multiple side walls is formed with an inclined surface extending outwardly from bottom to top relative to the bottom wall 151.

[0045] Specifically, the water dispenser 100 is provided with an ice-making module 1 for making ice cubes, and the ice-making module 1 is provided with an ice storage bin 15. The ice storage bin 15 of the ice-making module 1 is used to store the ice cubes made by the ice-making module 1. The ice storage bin 15 is provided with a bottom wall 151, an outlet wall 152 and multiple side walls. The bottom wall 151 is located at the bottom of the ice storage bin 15, and the outlet wall 152 and multiple side walls are arranged around the bottom wall 151. The outlet wall 152 and the multiple side walls and the bottom wall 151 jointly define an ice storage space 154. The ice cubes made by the ice-making module 1 can be stored in the ice storage space 154 for use by users. The ice storage bin 15 is provided with an ice outlet 155. The ice cubes stored in the ice storage bin 15 can be discharged to the outside of the ice storage bin 15 through the ice outlet 155.

[0046] Furthermore, one end of the outlet wall 152 is connected to the bottom wall 151, and the other end is provided with an ice outlet 155, that is, the outlet wall 152 is connected between the bottom wall 151 and the ice outlet 155, and the outlet wall 152 is constructed to be inclined from bottom to top and outward relative to the bottom wall 151, so that the ice outlet 155 is at a higher position, thereby preventing ice cubes in the ice storage space 154 from accidentally falling and affecting the user experience, and the lower area of ​​at least one of the multiple side walls is formed with an inclined surface extending from bottom to top and outward relative to the bottom wall 151, thereby making the cross-sectional area of ​​the ice storage bin 15 expand upward from the bottom wall 151, that is, the cross-sectional area below the ice storage bin 15 is smaller than the cross-sectional area above the ice storage bin 15, so that the ice cubes in the ice storage bin 15 gradually increase from the bottom to the top, thereby making it more convenient to take out the ice cubes and facilitating the actual operation of the user.

[0047] According to the ice storage bin 15 of the ice-making module 1 according to the embodiment of the present application, a bottom wall 151, an outlet wall 152 and a plurality of side walls are provided to jointly define an ice storage space 154, and the outlet wall 152 extends outwardly from bottom to top relative to the bottom wall 151, and the side walls are formed with inclined surfaces extending outwardly from bottom to top relative to the bottom wall 151, so that the shape design of the ice storage bin 15 is more reasonable, thereby facilitating the removal of ice cubes, having a better use effect and a wider range of applications.

[0048] In some embodiments, an angle A1 is formed between the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located, and satisfies the following relationship: 25°≤A1≤35°.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the angle between the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located is A1, and satisfies: 25°≤A1≤35°, that is, the angle A1 between the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located can be set to 25°, 30° and 35°, etc., and the angle A1 between the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located is set to satisfy: 25°≤A1≤35°, which can make it most convenient for ice cubes to be output from the ice storage bin 15 along the outlet wall 152, avoid the outlet wall 152 from tilting at too large an angle, which causes the ice cubes to easily slide to the bottom of the ice storage bin 15, and avoid the outlet wall 152 from tilting at too small an angle, which causes the ice cubes in the ice storage space 154 to accidentally fall, affecting the user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, one of the multiple side walls is an installation side wall 1531, and the installation side wall 1531 and the outlet wall 152 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the bottom wall 151. A mounting slope 1532 is formed in the lower area of ​​the installation side wall 1531, and the mounting slope 1532 is used to install a pushing member 157 that pushes the ice cubes in the ice storage bin 15 to slide out along the outlet wall 152.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in FIG1 , one of the multiple side walls is a mounting side wall 1531. The mounting side wall 1531 is provided at one end of the ice storage bin 15, and the outlet wall 152 is provided at the other end of the ice storage bin 15. That is, the mounting side wall 1531 and the outlet wall 152 are respectively located on opposite sides of the bottom wall 151. A mounting inclined surface 1532 is formed in the lower area of ​​the mounting side wall 1531. A pusher 157 is installed on the mounting inclined surface 1532. The pusher 157 can be provided as a spiral rod structure, and the pusher 157 can be provided as a spiral rod structure. The ice cubes in the ice storage space 154 can be pushed to move along the outlet wall 152 toward the ice outlet 155 by means of rotation or the like, thereby realizing automatic ice discharging, which is more convenient to use. In addition, the mounting side wall 1531 and the outlet wall 152 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the bottom wall 151, that is, the position where the pushing member 157 is arranged and the outlet wall 152 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the bottom wall 151, which facilitates the pushing member 157 to push the ice cubes in the ice storage bin 15 to move to the ice outlet 155, thereby improving the ice discharging effect.

[0052] In some embodiments, the angle between the installation slope 1532 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located is A2, and satisfies: 55°≤A2≤65°.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in FIG2 , the angle A2 between the mounting bevel 1532 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located satisfies the following conditions: 55°≤A2≤65°, that is, the angle A2 between the mounting bevel 1532 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located can be set to 55°, 60°, 65°, etc. The pusher 157 is arranged perpendicular to the mounting bevel 1532, and the angle A2 between the mounting bevel 1532 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located is set to satisfy the following conditions: 55°≤A2≤65°. , so that the angle between the pushing member 157 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located is greater than or equal to 25° and less than or equal to 35°. At the same time, the angle A1 between the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 and the plane where the bottom wall 151 is located satisfies the following: 25°≤A1≤35°. As a result, the pushing member 157 is arranged parallel to the outlet wall 152, thereby improving the ice discharge effect when the pushing member 157 pushes the ice cubes in the ice storage space 154 to move along the outlet wall 152 toward the ice outlet 155, thereby ensuring the ice discharge quantity.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mounting side wall 1531 and the outlet wall 152 are located on both sides of the bottom wall 151 along the first direction, and at least one of the two side walls located on the bottom wall 151 along the second direction is connected to the top of the mounting side wall 1531 with a top shielding wall 1533, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the mounting side walls 1531 and the outlet wall 152 are located on both sides of the bottom wall 151 along the first direction. The mounting side walls 1531 are used to mount a pusher 157. The ice outlet 155 is provided at one end of the outlet wall 152 away from the bottom wall 151. The pusher 157 can push the ice cubes in the ice storage space 154 toward the ice outlet 155 by rotation or the like. The mounting side walls 1531 and the outlet wall 152 are respectively located on opposite sides of the bottom wall 151, which can facilitate the movement of the pusher 157 toward the ice outlet 155 or away from the ice outlet 155, thereby effectively pushing the ice cubes toward the ice outlet 155 and ensuring the amount of ice discharged.

[0056] Furthermore, as shown in FIG4 , at least one of the two side walls located on the bottom wall 151 along the second direction is connected to the top of the mounting side wall 1531 with a top shielding wall 1533, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, that is, the top shielding wall 1533 is arranged along the first direction, and the pushing member 157 pushes the ice cubes to move along the outlet wall 152, that is, the ice cubes move along the first direction. The provision of the top shielding wall 1533 can prevent the ice cubes from sliding out from the side of the outlet wall 152 when the pushing member 157 pushes the ice cubes, thereby effectively pushing the ice cubes toward the ice outlet 155, thereby improving the use effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, two of the multiple side walls are the first side wall and the second side wall 1535, and the first side wall and the second side wall 1535 are respectively located on both sides of the bottom wall 151 along the second direction and are relatively distributed, and the lower area of ​​the first side wall and / or the second side wall 1535 is formed with an introduction slope.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in FIG1 , a first side wall and a second side wall 1535 are provided among the plurality of side walls. The first side wall and the second side wall 1535 are both connected to the bottom wall 151. The first side wall and the second side wall 1535 are respectively located on both sides of the bottom wall 151 along the second direction, and the first side wall and the second side wall 1535 are relatively distributed on both sides of the bottom wall 151 along the second direction, thereby limiting the movement space of ice cubes in the second direction. In addition, an introduction slope is formed in the lower area of ​​the first side wall and / or the second side wall 1535, that is, the lower areas of the first side wall and the second side wall 1535 are both formed with the introduction slope, or the lower area of ​​the first side wall or the lower area of ​​the second side wall 1535 is only formed with the introduction slope. In this embodiment, the introduction slope is formed in the lower area of ​​the first side wall. The introduction slope facilitates the ice cubes to converge toward the ice outlet 155, thereby facilitating the pushing member 157 to push the ice cubes toward the ice outlet 155, thereby improving the ice outlet effect.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first side wall includes a first sub-wall 15341 and a second sub-wall 15342 connected to each other, and an angle is formed between the first sub-wall 15341 and the second sub-wall 15342. The first sub-wall 15341 is connected to the outlet wall 152, and the second sub-wall 15342 is connected to a side wall distributed opposite to the outlet wall 152.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in FIG1 , the first side wall is provided with a first sub-wall 15341 and a second sub-wall 15342. The first sub-wall 15341 and the second sub-wall 15342 are distributed along a first direction. The first sub-wall 15341 and the second sub-wall 15342 are connected to each other. The first sub-wall 15341 is located near the ice outlet 155, and the second sub-wall 15342 is located away from the ice outlet 155. An angle is formed between the first sub-wall 15341 and the second sub-wall 15342, so that an end of the first sub-wall 15341 away from the second sub-wall 15342 is inclined toward the second side wall 1535. The first sub-wall 15341 is connected to the outlet wall 152, and the second sub-wall 15342 is connected to a side wall opposite to the outlet wall 152, thereby defining an ice storage space 154. Furthermore, the cross-section of the ice storage space 154 gradually decreases from the bottom wall 151 toward the ice outlet 155 , thereby limiting the ice outlet path and making it difficult for ice cubes to move toward the ice outlet 155 .

[0061] Among them, an angle is formed between the upper area and the lower area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341, and an angle is formed between the upper area and the lower area of ​​the second sub-wall 15342, so that the ice storage space 154 forms a structure with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, which facilitates the ice cubes to gather toward the ice outlet 155, and then facilitates the pushing member 157 to push the ice cubes to move toward the ice outlet 155, thereby improving the ice outlet effect.

[0062] In some embodiments, the plane where the upper area of ​​the second sub-wall 15342 is located is parallel to the extension direction of the outlet wall 152; and / or, the angle between the plane where the upper area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 is located and the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 is A3, and satisfies: 35°≤A3≤45°.

[0063] Specifically, as shown in FIG1 , the plane where the upper area of ​​the second sub-wall 15342 is located is parallel to the extension direction of the outlet wall 152. As shown in FIG3 , the angle A3 between the plane where the upper area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 is located and the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 is satisfied: 35°≤A3≤45°, that is, the angle A3 between the plane where the upper area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 is located and the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 can be set to 35°, 40°, 45°, etc. The angle A3 between the plane where the upper area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 is located and the extension direction of the outlet wall 152 is set to satisfy: 35°≤A3≤45°, which can make it most convenient for ice cubes to be output from the ice storage bin 15 along the outlet wall 152, avoid the upper area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 from being tilted too much, causing the ice cubes to easily slide to the bottom of the ice storage bin 15, and avoid the upper area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 from being tilted too little, resulting in difficulty in ice output and affecting the user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments, both the lower area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 and the lower area of ​​the second sub-wall 15342 are formed with an introduction slope, and an angle is formed between the introduction slope of the first sub-wall 15341 and the introduction slope of the second sub-arm.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the lower area of ​​the first sub-wall 15341 and the lower area of ​​the second sub-wall 15342 are both formed with an inlet slope, so that the ice storage space 154 forms a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The inlet slope facilitates the ice cubes to converge toward the ice outlet 155, and thus facilitates the pushing member 157 to push the ice cubes toward the ice outlet 155, thereby improving the ice outlet effect. In addition, an angle is formed between the inlet slope of the first sub-wall 15341 and the inlet slope of the second sub-arm, so that the cross-section of the ice storage space 154 gradually decreases from the bottom wall 151 toward the ice outlet 155, thereby limiting the ice outlet path, making it inconvenient for the ice cubes to move toward the ice outlet 155, and facilitating ice outlet.

[0066] In some embodiments, the outer side surface of the connection between the first side wall and the bottom wall 151 and / or the outer side surface of the connection between the second side wall 1535 and the bottom wall 151 are constructed as arcuate surfaces, that is, the outer side surface of the connection between the first side wall and the bottom wall 151 and the outer side surface of the connection between the second side wall 1535 and the bottom wall 151 are both constructed as arcuate surfaces, or only the outer side surface of the connection between the first side wall and the bottom wall 151 is constructed as an arcuate surface, or only the outer side surface of the connection between the second side wall 1535 and the bottom wall 151 is constructed as an arcuate surface. As shown in Figure 3, the outer side surface of the connection between the second side wall 1535 and the bottom wall 151 is constructed as an arcuate surface. Setting the connection as an arcuate surface can avoid stress concentration at the connection, which may cause the connection to be easily broken, thereby extending the service life of the ice storage bin 15. Setting the connection as an arcuate surface can avoid collision with other components. At the same time, setting the connection as an arcuate surface makes the ice storage space 154 of the ice storage bin 15 larger, increases the ice storage capacity of the ice storage bin 15, and has a better use effect.

[0067] The present application also proposes an ice-making module 1 .

[0068] According to the embodiment of the present application, the ice-making module 1 includes an ice-making bin 11 and an ice storage bin 15 of any of the above-mentioned ice-making modules 1. An ice-making component 12 and an ice-shoveling component 13 are provided in the ice-making bin 11. The ice-shoveling component 13 can be movably installed in the ice-making bin 11, and the ice-shoveling component 13 is used to shovel ice cubes formed in the ice-making bin 11 into the ice storage bin 15.

[0069] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the ice-making module 1 is provided with an ice-making bin 11, in which an ice-making part 12 and an ice-shoveling part 13 are provided. The ice-shoveling part 13 can be movably installed in the ice-making bin 11. The ice-making part 12 can produce ice cubes, and when the ice cubes are large in volume, they will fall from the ice-making part 12, and the fallen ice cubes will be placed in the ice-shoveling part 13. The ice-shoveling part 13 can be movably installed in the ice-making bin 11, so that the ice-shoveling part 13 can shovel the ice cubes formed in the ice-making bin 11 into the ice storage bin 15, thereby completing ice making. The ice cubes can be stored in the ice storage bin 15 and can be taken out in real time when needed by the user, with better use effect.

[0070] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the ice-making module 1 is also provided with a water storage tank 14, which is arranged at the bottom of the ice-making bin 11, and the ice-making bin is also provided with a water leakage hole 156, which is located directly above the water storage tank 14.
