[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0032] As shown in Figs. 1-5, Fig. X shows a structural schematic diagram of a first embodiment of the ice making bin of the present application, which comprises a shell 1 mounted on a cold drink machine, an ice making cavity 2 provided in the shell 1, and a non-through type liquid inlet cavity 3 provided on the upper portion of the shell 1. The non-through type liquid inlet cavity 3 is provided with a liquid inlet 31, and the bottom end of one side of the non-through type liquid inlet cavity 3 is provided with a liquid outlet 32. The liquid outlet 32 is arranged staggered with the liquid inlet 31, effectively avoiding the user from inserting fingers into the ice making cavity 2 through the non-through type liquid inlet cavity 3 when using, improving the user's comfort, and avoiding the ice making cavity 2 from being contaminated, and improving the sanitary quality. The liquid outlet 32 is in communication with the ice making cavity 2, so as to provide ice making raw materials for the ice making cavity 2. During ice making, the above structure of the non-through type liquid inlet cavity 3 makes it difficult for the slush ice to occur reverse flow situation to the outside through the liquid outlet 32, the non-through type liquid inlet cavity 3 and the liquid inlet 31, so as to improve the ice making effect and the user's experience, and meet the actual needs of the user.

[0033] Specifically, the liquid outlet 32 is close to the side edge of the ice making cavity 2, and the liquid outlet direction of the liquid outlet 32 is the same as the rotating direction of the sand scraping device in the ice making cavity 2. In the embodiment, the liquid outlet 32 is located at the side of the ice making cavity 2, and when the sand scraping device in the ice making cavity 2 rotates, the ice sand brought by the sand scraping device rotates around the side and is pushed out. Since the liquid outlet direction of the liquid outlet 32 is the same as the rotating direction of the sand scraping device in the ice making cavity 2, that is, the same as the rotating direction of the ice sand, in the same direction, the ice sand is not easy to enter the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3 through the liquid outlet 32, and is not easy to accumulate in the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3 and backflow and discharge from the liquid inlet 31, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of the ice sand backflow condition through the above structure, improving the ice making effect and the user's use experience, and meeting the actual needs of the user.

[0034] Further, the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3 is provided with an arc-shaped transition surface 33 extending from high to low to the liquid outlet 32. When liquid is added, the liquid can flow smoothly to the liquid outlet 32 through the arc-shaped transition surface 33, improving the liquid outlet and flow and liquid outlet efficiency. When ice is made, the arc-shaped transition surface 33 in the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3 can make the ice sand not easy to accumulate upward from the bottom of the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3, at this time the ice sand needs to overcome a certain gravity to gradually accumulate upward and backflow and discharge from the liquid inlet 31, thereby further avoiding the occurrence of the ice sand backflow condition, improving the ice making effect.

[0035] Preferably, the liquid outlet 32 is flat to avoid the flow-through width of the liquid outlet 32 being too large or too large, which causes the ice sand to easily enter the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3 from the liquid outlet 32 during ice making. Therefore, by providing the liquid outlet 32 in a flat shape, the accumulation of ice sand into the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3 can be further reduced, thereby reducing the occurrence of the ice sand backflow condition.

[0036] Preferably, the liquid outlet 32 is away from the sand outlet 21 of the ice making cavity 2, and the sand outlet 21 is provided with a sand outlet switch mechanism to perform sand outlet work. The liquid outlet 32 is arranged along the length direction of the ice making cavity 2, and the width of the liquid outlet 32 gradually increases along the sand outlet direction of the ice making cavity 2, wherein the liquid outlet 32 and the sand outlet 21 of the ice making cavity 2 are respectively located at two ends of the ice making cavity 2. Since the sand scraping device in the ice making cavity 2 will perform sand scraping treatment on the ice sand and push it outwards during the rotating work to discharge from the sand outlet 21 in the ice making cavity 2. Therefore, in the embodiment, by gradually increasing the width of the liquid outlet 32, more liquid can flow out in the sand outlet direction during liquid addition, so as to better perform ice making work; and during ice making, the generated ice sand is pushed out along the sand outlet direction, which can reduce the ice sand produced from the liquid outlet 32 into the non-straight-through liquid inlet cavity 3 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the occurrence of the ice sand backflow condition.

When liquid needs to be added, the user can drive the cover 4 to rotate on the shell 1 by controlling the first handle portion 41, so as to open the cover 4 and make the liquid inlet 31 in an open state, and then the user can add liquid. When liquid does not need to be added, the user can close the cover by controlling the first handle portion 41.

[0038] Further, the cover 4 is provided with a first buckle portion 43 at one end, and the mounting groove 11 is provided with a first clamping hole 13 at one end. The first buckle portion 43 is clamped and connected with the first clamping hole 13, so as to relatively fix the cover 4 with the shell 1. The first buckle portion 43 is provided with a clamping hook 431, and the inner wall of the first clamping hole 13 is provided with a clamping convex portion 131. When the cover 4 is closed, the user drives the cover 4 to rotate by controlling the first handle portion 41, so as to make the clamping hook 431 clamped into the first clamping hole 13 and abut against the bottom end surface of the clamping convex portion 131, thereby clamping and fixing the cover 4 with the shell 1. When the cover 4 is opened, the user drives the cover 4 to rotate upward by controlling the first handle portion 41, so as to make the clamping hook 431 separated from the first clamping hole 13, thereby making the cover 4 rotate and open on the shell 1, and then facilitating the user to add liquid.

[0039] Preferably, the cover 4 comprises a first cover plate 44 and a second cover plate 45, the first cover plate 44 is provided with third rotating hole parts 46 on both sides of one end close to the second cover plate 45, and the first cover plate 44 is provided with the first buckle part 43 on the other end away from the second cover plate 45; the second cover plate 45 is provided with the first rotating shaft parts 42 on both sides of one end away from the first cover plate 44, and the second cover plate 45 is provided with third rotating shaft parts 47 on both sides of one end close to the first cover plate 44, the third rotating shaft parts 47 are rotationally connected with the third rotating hole parts 46; the second cover plate 45 is provided with a limiting block 48 on one end close to the first cover plate 44, and the limiting block 48 movably abuts against the first cover plate 44 located thereon. When the cover 4 is opened, the user moves the first cover plate 44 by controlling the first handle part 41, so that the hook 431 is separated from the first clamping hole 13; then the second cover plate 45 is rotated by the first cover plate 44, so that the whole cover 4 is moved upward and opened, and the liquid inlet 31 is in an open state. Conversely, when the cover 4 is closed, the user rotates the first cover plate 44 and the second cover plate 45 by controlling the first handle part 41, the second cover plate 45 abuts against the limiting part on the mounting groove 11, the bottom end surface of one end of the first cover plate 44 abuts against the limiting block 48, the hook 431 of the first cover plate 44 is clamped into the first clamping hole 13 and abuts against the bottom end surface of the clamping convex part 131, so that the cover 4 is clamped and fixed with the shell 1.
