An embodiment of the present application provides an ice making device 100 for making water into ice cubes for a user to take.

Specifically, the ice making device 100 includes a main body 20, and an ice making mechanism (not shown), a refrigerator 40, a pushing mechanism (not shown), and an ice discharging mechanism 60 mounted on the main body 20, wherein the ice making mechanism is used for making water into ice cubes and storing the ice cubes in the refrigerator 40, the pushing mechanism can push the ice cubes in the refrigerator 40 to the ice discharging mechanism 60, and the ice cubes fall into a vessel of a user through the ice discharging mechanism 60.

It should be noted that, the ice making mechanism and the pushing mechanism do not belong to the main invention point of the present application, so specific structures of the ice making mechanism and the pushing mechanism are not described herein, and can be set as required to meet different requirements.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the ice maker 60 includes a main housing 61, a baffle 62, and a pushing member 65. The main housing 61 has an ice outlet passage 61a for delivering ice cubes, and the shutter 62 is rotatably installed to the main housing 61 and located in the ice outlet passage 61a. The pushing member 65 is rotatably installed on the main housing 61 and located outside the ice outlet channel 61a, and the pushing member 65 is drivingly connected to the baffle 62, for driving the baffle 62 to rotate relative to the main housing 61, so that the baffle 62 blocks or conducts the ice outlet channel 61a. A restoring member 66 is mounted to the main housing 61, and the restoring member 66 serves to apply a force to the pushing member 65 so that the barrier 62 has a tendency to keep blocking the ice discharge passage 61a. That is, the pushing member 65 keeps the shutter 62 blocking the ice discharge passage 61a or switches the shutter 62 from a state of conducting the ice discharge passage 61a to a state of blocking the ice discharge passage 61a by the restoring member 66.

In this way, when a user does not need to obtain ice cubes, the pushing member 65 keeps the blocking plate 62 in a state of blocking the ice discharging passage 61a by the restoring member 66, so that external hot air is prevented from entering the ice storage bin 40 through the ice discharging passage 61a, and ice cubes in the ice storage bin 40 are prevented from being melted. Meanwhile, the baffle 62 can also prevent ice cubes not falling in the ice discharging process in time, so that the ice cubes remained in the ice discharging channel 61a can be prevented from continuing to fall out after the user leaves. When the user takes ice, the pushing member 65 drives the baffle 62 to rotate to switch to a state of blocking the ice outlet channel 61a, and at this time, the ice can drop into the vessel of the user through the ice outlet channel 61a.

Specifically, referring to fig. 3 to 6, the refrigerator 40 has a front wall 41 extending obliquely in a vertical direction, the main body 20 has a mounting platform 21 located at one side of the front wall 41, and the mounting platform 21 extends in a horizontal direction. In the following embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the mounting platform 21 is defined as a first direction (i.e., the X direction in fig. 2), the width direction of the mounting platform 21 is defined as a second direction (i.e., the Y direction in fig. 2), and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

The main housing 61 includes a first housing 612 and a second housing 614 that are coupled to each other, and the first housing 612 and the second housing 614 each have a hollow housing structure. The first housing 612 includes a first extension 6141 and a second extension 6121 connected to each other, one end of the first extension 6141 is connected to the front wall 41 of the refrigerator 40 and communicates with the refrigerator 40, and the other end of the first extension 6141 extends obliquely downward. One end of the second extending portion 6121 is connected to one end of the first extending portion 6141 away from the front case wall 41, and the other end of the second extending portion 6121 extends vertically downward. The second housing 614 is connected to an end of the second extending portion 6121 remote from the main body 20, and the other end of the second housing 614 extends vertically downward through the mounting platform 21.

Further, an end portion of the second housing 614 connected to the first housing 612 is provided with two mounting portions 6141, the two mounting portions 6141 are located on two opposite sides of the second housing 614 in the first direction, and each mounting portion 6141 is supported on the mounting platform 21 of the main body 20 through a supporting member for mounting the pushing member 65 and other components.

As such, the first housing 612 and the second housing 614 together form the ice outlet passage 61a, an end of the first housing 612 connected to the front case wall 41 forms an inlet end of the ice outlet passage 61a, and the inlet end communicates with the refrigerator 40, and an end of the second housing 614 remote from the first housing 612 forms an outlet end of the ice outlet passage 61a. Accordingly, ice cubes in the ice storage bin 40 may enter the ice outlet passage 61a from the inlet end and then fall into a user's vessel from the outlet end of the ice outlet passage 61a by gravity.

The pusher 65 includes a manipulation portion 652 and two transmission portions 654. Two transmission parts 654 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the main housing 61 in the first direction, one end of each transmission part 654 is respectively rotatably coupled to the mounting part 6141 of the second housing 614, and the other end of the transmission part 654 is in transmission connection with the baffle 62. One end of the control part 652 is connected to the two transmission parts 654, the other end of the control part 652 passes through the mounting platform 21 to vertically extend downwards, the control part 652 is in a hollow square frame structure, and a user can drive the transmission part 654 to rotate by pushing the control part 652.

The ice discharging mechanism 60 further includes a rotation shaft 63 and two transmission members 64. The rotation shaft 63 is rotatably mounted on a side of the first housing 612 remote from the front wall 41, and is located at a junction of the first extending portion 6141 and the second extending portion 6121. The rotation shaft 63 passes through the ice discharging passage 61a in the first direction, and both axial ends of the rotation shaft 63 protrude outside the ice discharging passage 61a, respectively. The two transmission members 64 are respectively located at two opposite sides outside the ice outlet channel 61a, and are respectively connected to two axial ends of the rotating shaft 63 extending out of the ice outlet channel 61a in a matching way through a clamping ring, and the two transmission members 64 are respectively connected with two transmission parts 654 of the pushing member 65 in a transmission way. The baffle 62 has a flat plate structure, and one end of the baffle 62 is mounted on the rotation shaft 63 so as to synchronously rotate along with the rotation shaft 63. As a preferred embodiment, the rotation shaft 63 has a cross section perpendicular to the first direction in a "D" shape, thereby preventing the shutter 62 and the transmission member 64 from rotating with respect to the rotation shaft 63.

Further in some embodiments, the driving member 64 is a D-shaped gear, and the edge of the driving member 64 is provided with a first tooth structure circumferentially arranged. Each transmission part 654 has a fan-shaped structure, the width of the transmission part 654 gradually increases from one end close to the mounting part 6141 to one end close to the transmission part 64, and the edge of one side of the transmission part 654 close to the transmission part 64 is arc-shaped and is provided with a second tooth-shaped structure matched with the second tooth-shaped structure. Thus, the two transmission members 64 are respectively meshed with the two transmission portions 654 of the pushing member 65, and the rotation of the transmission portions 654 can drive the transmission members 64 to rotate.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the ratio of the rotational angle of the transmission portion 654 to the rotational angle of the guard 62 is 1:3, so that the transmission ratio of the transmission portion 654 and the transmission member 64 coincides with the ratio of the rotation angles of both. Thus, the user only needs to rotate the pushing member 65 by a small angle, so that the baffle 62 can be rotated by a large angle to conduct or block the ice outlet channel 61a. It will be appreciated that the ratio of the rotation angle of the pushing member 65 to the rotation angle of the shutter 62 is not limited and may be set as desired.

In this way, the user can rotate the transmission part 654 through the control part 652 of the pushing member 65, thereby driving the two transmission members 64 to rotate, and the two transmission members 64 further drive the rotation shaft 63 to rotate synchronously, and finally drive the baffle 62 to rotate so as to switch between the state of blocking the ice outlet channel 61a and the state of conducting the ice outlet channel 61a. When the barrier 62 is in a state of blocking the ice discharging passage 61a, an end of the barrier 62 away from the rotation shaft 63 is inclined to extend toward the front case wall 41 to contact a junction of the first and second extending portions 6141 and 6121 of the first housing 612, thereby blocking ice cubes and hot air. When the baffle 62 is in a state of being conducted to the ice discharge passage 61a, the baffle 62 extends vertically downward to be fitted to the passage wall of the ice discharge passage 61a, so that ice cubes can fall through the ice discharge passage 61a.

In some embodiments, the pushing member 65 further includes two abutment portions 656, where each abutment portion 656 is respectively protruding from one transmission portion 654 along the first direction. One end of the reset member 66 is mounted on the mounting portion 6141, the other end of the reset member 66 is abutted against the abutment portion 656 in the vertical direction, and the reset member 66 can be deformed in a recoverable manner in the vertical direction so as to apply a vertical upward force to the abutment portion 656, thereby maintaining the state of blocking the ice outlet channel 61a of the baffle plate 62 or switching from the state of conducting the ice outlet channel 61a to the state of blocking the ice outlet channel 61a. In particular, in one embodiment, the restoring member 66 is a compression spring, and in other embodiments, the restoring member 66 may be formed of other elastically deformable structures.

In this way, the user can push the control portion 652 of the pushing member 65 to rotate in a direction approaching the front wall 41, so that the transmission portion 654 rotates in a direction away from the front wall 41, and the abutment portion 656 presses the reset member 66 downward to make the reset member 66 in a compressed state, and the baffle 62 rotates in a direction away from the front wall 41 to a vertically downward state under the driving of the transmission member 64, so as to conduct the ice outlet channel 61a to allow ice cubes to fall.

When the ice is taken out, the force applied by the user to the pushing member 65 is removed, and the reset member 66 loses the compression of the abutting portion 656 and returns to the original shape, so that a reaction force is applied to the abutting portion 656 to push the transmission portion 654 to rotate towards the direction approaching the front case wall 41, and the transmission member 64 drives the baffle 62 to rotate towards the direction approaching the front case wall 41 so as to switch to a state of closing the ice outlet channel 61a. Under the abutment of the reset member 66, the shutter 62 can always maintain a state of closing the ice outlet passage 61a, and even if ice cubes which are not dropped in time exist in the ice outlet passage 61a, the shutter 62 cannot be pushed to rotate.

In some embodiments, the ice discharging mechanism 60 further includes a trigger 67, where the trigger 67 is mounted on the mounting portion 6141 of the second housing 614 to be located outside the ice discharging channel 61a, and is located at one side of the transmission portion 654 of the pushing member 65 in the second direction. When the baffle 62 blocks the ice outlet channel 61a, the pushing member 65 abuts against the triggering member 67 to trigger the triggering member 67, the triggering member 67 can send a start signal to the pushing mechanism, and the pushing mechanism is switched from the closed state to the pushing state to push ice cubes into the ice outlet channel 61a. When the shutter 62 turns on the ice discharging passage 61a, the pushing member 65 is away from the triggering member 67, the triggering member 67 stops sending a signal to the pushing mechanism, and the pushing mechanism is switched from the pushing state to the closing state to stop pushing ice cubes.

In particular, in one embodiment, the trigger 67 is a micro switch, and the transmission portion 654 of the pushing member 65 is provided with a trigger portion 658, where the trigger portion 658 can abut against the micro switch to trigger the micro switch.

In some embodiments, the ice ejection mechanism 60 further includes a reflow 68. One end of the backflow member 68 is connected to one side of the first housing 612 facing the front wall 41 and is located at one end of the first extending portion 6141 connected to the second extending portion 6121, the other end of the backflow member 68 extends obliquely downward toward the front wall 41 until being connected to the main body 20, the first housing 612 is provided with a plurality of backflow holes communicated with the ice outlet channel 61a, the plurality of backflow holes are arranged at intervals along the first direction, backflow channels communicated with the backflow holes are formed in the backflow member 68, and when the baffle 62 blocks the ice outlet channel 61a, the backflow channels are located at one side of the baffle 62 facing the inlet end of the ice outlet channel 61a. Thus, when there is ice cubes not dropped in the ice-discharging passage 61a, water melted from the ice cubes can enter the return passage through the return hole to return to the main body 20 without being dropped into the external environment.

In some embodiments, when the placement space of the reflow member 68 is narrow, the reflow member 68 is an elastically deformable tube to prevent interference with other structures. In particular, in some embodiments, the conduit is preferably formed of a silicone material.

In some embodiments, a side surface of the baffle 62 facing the inlet end of the ice discharge passage 61a is convexly provided with a plurality of ribs 641, and all the ribs 641 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the ribs 641 are used for limiting the position of ice cubes during the rotation of the baffle 62 so as to prevent the baffle 62 from being blocked due to the existence of a gap between the ice cube blocking baffle 62 and the passage wall of the ice discharge passage 61a.

In some embodiments, the ice discharging mechanism 60 further includes a heating module (not shown) mounted on the baffle 62, and the heating module can generate heat to accelerate the melting speed of the ice cubes in the ice discharging channel 61a, so as to optimize the user experience. As a preferred embodiment, the heating module is a heating film. It is understood that the type of the heating module is not limited thereto, and may be a heating structure such as a heating electrode.

The ice discharging mechanism 60 and the ice making device 100 can effectively isolate external hot air from entering the refrigerator 40 through the baffle 62, so that the ice making device 100 can work normally, and meanwhile, ice cubes which do not fall into the ice discharging channel 61a in time can be prevented, and the accuracy of ice discharging amount is ensured. Also, the melted water of the ice cubes retained in the ice discharging passage 61a may flow back through the return passage, thereby preventing the melted water from dropping to the external environment. In addition, through heating module's setting can also accelerate the speed of melting that detains the ice-cube to can not exist the ice-cube that partial melting drops when making the user get ice next time, optimized user experience.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.

The above examples only represent a few embodiments of the present application, which are described in more detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. It should be noted that it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements could be made without departing from the spirit of the present application, which would be within the scope of the present application. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present application is to be determined by the claims appended hereto.
