At this moment, the mobile guiding piece 280 shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 is formed on along fore-and-aft direction on the sidepiece of lower end of ice making case 202.That is, mobile guiding piece 280 forms in that to separate the position of preset distance upward inwardly outstanding and extend along fore-and-aft direction with the backplate surface 202 ' of ice making case 202.Therefore, thus mobile roller 256 is positioned to be guided forward and backward between the backplate surface 202 ' of ice making case 202 and the mobile guiding piece 280.
Further, stop part 290 forms on the rear side of the lower end of ice making case 202 and projects upwards.Stop part 290 plays after pulling out ice bank 230 forward by making ice bank 230 be easy to locate effect on the throne along the back when direction promotes to make ice bank 230 to be mounted or to be positioned its original position.
More specifically, as shown in FIG., the stop part 290 with preliminary dimension form on the left side, rear portion of the lower end of ice making case 202 and right side, rear portion, extend upward and above the setting height(from bottom) of mobile guiding piece 280 and with two side end interferences of ice bank 230.Therefore, stop part 290 prevents that ice bank 230 from moving to direction along the back.
Certainly, stop part 290 does not fully prevent the moving backward of ice bank 230.That is, open wide because the rear portion of ice making case 202 is as directed, so can pull out ice bank 230 (seeing Figure 17) backward.
But, because the rear end of ice bank 230 is (among Figure 14, front end) left side and right side partly with stop part 290 interferences, so can prevent that ice bank 230 from sliding and the intention of running counter to the user is pulled out by (among Figure 14, forward) easily backward and the accident of falling on the upper surface of box gripper shoe 250.
Exemplarily set forth the connection connecting rod 260 that forms writing board shape in the foregoing embodiments.But, connect connecting rod and can form structure with the different shape outside the flat board.
In addition, reasonably be that the connection status and the structurally variable that connect between connecting rod 260, home bar door 120 and the box gripper shoe 250 are various structures.Promptly, thereby as long as can realize the purpose that ice bank 230 is cooperated with home bar door 120 and along with home bar door 120 rotations (opening) ice bank 230 drawn in and pulls out, the connection status and the structure that connect between connecting rod 260, home bar door 120 and the box gripper shoe 250 can change over various structures.
Hereinafter, set forth the ice that will be stored in the ice bank 230 with reference to Figure 12 in more detail to Figure 16 and be pulled out to process external.
At first, the user is to the upper end of pusher home bar door 120.Subsequently, the clevis drawbar 124 that is fixed to hook fixture 126 makes home bar door 120 open from its separation, that is, and and the state shown in Figure 16.
More specifically, along with the hinge 122 of home bar door 120 around its lower end rotates (among Fig. 5, clockwise) forward, connect connecting rod 260 and also rotate from the vertical state clockwise direction ground shown in Figure 13.
So, rotate along with connecting connecting rod 260 clockwise directions (among Figure 13), be connected to connect connecting rod 260 box gripper shoe 250 also forward (among Figure 13, to the right) move.Promptly, since connect connecting rod 260 from top to bottom highly relatively less than the height from top to bottom of home bar door 120, so, if home bar door 120 opening fully in the horizontal direction as shown in figure 16, then the specific part of box gripper shoe 250 forward (among Figure 13, to the right) move.
So, as compartmentalized box for holding assorted fruits and candies gripper shoe 250 forward (among Figure 13, to the right) move, the ice bank 230 that then is placed on the upper surface of box gripper shoe 250 also moves forward (among Figure 13, to the right).Therefore, the part of the front end of ice bank 230 is exposed to the outside (seeing Figure 16) of the front portion of refrigerating chamber door 100.
At this moment, owing to the locking projection 232 on the basal surface that is formed on ice bank 230 is contained in the locking recess 258 that is formed on the box gripper shoe 250, so along with box gripper shoe 250 is drawn forward out, ice bank 230 is pulled out forward under the situation of not sliding simultaneously.At this moment, the mobile roller 256 that is formed on the rear end of box gripper shoe 250 can move forward box gripper shoe 250 and ice bank 230.
By aforesaid process, the part of ice bank 230 is as the outside that is exposed to shown in Figure 16 plants, and subsequently, the user directly takes out the ice in the ice bank 230.When the user wants to take out a large amount of ice, further pull out ice bank 230 forward.
More specifically, when the user was grabbing the preceding handle 234 of ice bank 230 and apply forward power under state as shown in Figure 16 thereon, ice bank 230 was drawn forward out simultaneously that ice bank 230 slides on the upper surface of box gripper shoe 250.
At this moment, more preferably, the state of handle 234 promoted the front end of ice bank 230 certain distance and pulls out ice bank forward before the user grasped with the user.Promptly, because the locking projection 232 of ice bank 230 inserts in the locking recess 258 of box gripper shoe 250 as shown in Figure 13, so if apply forward power thereon under the situation that the front end of ice bank 230 promotes slightly, then locking projection 232 separates with locking recess 258.Therefore, can ice bank 230 be pulled out with little power.
After the ice in taking out ice bank 230, ice bank 230 is positioned its original position once more, wherein adopts the order opposite to carry out this process with aforesaid ice taking-up process.
That is,, make the locking projection 232 of lower end of ice bank 230 be contained in the locking recess 258 of box gripper shoe 250 to pusher ice bank 230, that is, and the state shown in Figure 16.
At this moment, stop part 290 prevents exceedingly to pusher ice bank 230.That is, when stop part 290 is disturbed in the rear end of ice bank 230, interrupt ice bank 230 and move backward.
So, stop part 290 plays at ice bank 230 and is drawn forward out and is positioned subsequently in its situation of original position ice bank 230 guiding effect in place.Therefore, can prevent that ice bank 230 from exceedingly being fallen to pusher or clash into other the accident of object (perhaps reserve) at its rear portion.
At this moment, close home bar door 120 by the front end that promotes home bar door 120.That is,, make clevis drawbar 124 insert in the hook fixture 126 to the upper end of pusher home bar door 120.So, because hook fixture 126 can be fixed clevis drawbar 124, so home bar door 120 is kept its closed condition shown in Fig. 3 and Figure 13.

The water storage space of water tank 210 is restricted to the corresponding size of size that has with the internal storage space of ice pan 224.Therefore, the left part and all water in the part of right side that are stored at water tank 210 all are fed to dish 224 ' and lower wall 224 ", thereby even when last dish 224 ' and lower wall 224 " when being full of water, ice pan 224 can not overflow to the outside yet.
Simultaneously, tank lid 210 " form the top that covers water tank 210 ', and the top side of water tank 210 ' preferably forms to lopsidedness.Tank lid 210 " the top side aforesaid to lopsidedness, allow to be formed on or to fall tank lid 210 " the water droplet of top side run down into a described side.
The water supply orifice 214 that is formed on the water tank 210 is is optionally opened and closed by opening and closing device 350.That is, when water tank 210 is installed on the ice making case 202, water supply orifice 214 is automatically opened, and when water tank 210 separates with ice making case 202, water supply orifice 214 is automatically closed by opening and closing device 350 by opening and closing device 350.
Opening and closing device 350 comprises the opening 212 (seeing Figure 23) that forms from the ice making case 202 inside interference lever of giving prominence to 222 and the supply orifice 214 of optionally fetching boiling water.Opening 212 is integrally formed with water tank 210, and wherein an end of opening 212 optionally contacts with interference lever 222, and the other end of opening 212 supply orifice 214 of optionally fetching boiling water.
More specifically, the bar supporting walls 210 that extends is formed on the rear end of water tank 210 downwards, and opening 212 is integrally formed with bar supporting walls 210.In addition, interference lever 222 form from the central portion of the rear wall of ice making case 202 inwardly (Figure 23, to the right) outstanding and optionally contact with an end of opening 212.That is, when water tank 210 is installed on the ice making case 202, opening 212 and interference lever 222 are contacted with each other.
Opening 212 comprises: the body of rod 352 integrally formed with water tank 210; Form from the central portion of the body of rod 352 (Figure 23, to the right) contact rib 354 of extending forward; Form from the left-hand end of the body of rod 352 and right-hand end (Figure 23, to the right) switching rib 360 of extending forward; And the switching plug 362 that is used for optionally closing water supply orifice 214.
Particularly, the rear end of the body of rod 352 (among Figure 23, left end) forms with the rear wall of water tank 210 integrally formed.In addition, contact rib 354 forms from the body of rod 352 and extends forward, and the front end (among Figure 23, right-hand member) of contact rib 354 optionally contacts interference lever 352.That is, when installing water tank 210, make contact rib 354 and interference lever 222 contacting with each other as shown in Figure 23.
Simultaneously, each opens and closes rib 360 and also forms extension forward, and the front end of switching rib 360 is bent upwards.Therefore, the bend of front end inserts in the water supply orifice 214 vertically.In addition, each opens and closes plug 362 and forms circular plate shape and integrally formed with the upper end of the bend of the front end that opens and closes rib 360.Therefore, the switching plug 362 with circular plate shape is optionally closed water supply orifice 214.
Interference lever 222 comprises and forming from ice making case 202 (Figure 23, to the right) bar support section 370 of extending forward, and the front end (among Figure 23, right-hand member) that bar head 372 is formed on bar support section 370 is gone up and optionally contacted with the end that contacts rib 354.Bar head 372 is to have the circular plate shape of as directed preliminary dimension and form from the end of bar support section 370 to project upwards.
Figure 25 illustrates in greater detail the installment state of water tank 210 to Figure 27.That is, Figure 25 shows the installment state of water tank 210, and Figure 26 is the sectional view that the line A-A ' along Figure 27 is got.In addition, Figure 27 shows water tank 210 and separates with ice making case 202.
As shown in FIG., thus water tank 210 be installed to ice making case 202 the upper end and be not fixed to the upper thus and can separate.Therefore, Icemaker assembly 200 further is equipped with: assembly guiding structure 400 is used to guide water tank 210 to make it be easy to be positioned in ice making case 202; And separating anti-locking apparatus 410, the water tank 210 that is used to prevent to be installed on the ice making case 202 breaks away from.
Assembly guiding structure 400 comprises installs guiding piece 402 and guide protrusion 404, guiding piece 402 and guide protrusion 404 is installed is respectively formed on ice making case 202 and the water tank 210 with corresponding to each other, thereby interconnect.That is, inwardly outstanding installation guiding piece 402 is formed on the madial wall of ice making case 202, and the guide protrusion 404 that side direction is outstanding is formed on the outside of water tank 210 ' of water tank 210.
Guiding piece 402 is installed is comprised projection holding portion 402 ' and protrusion directs part 402 ", guide protrusion 404 inserts and is contained in the projection holding portion 402 ' protrusion directs part 402 " guide protrusion 404 is directed to projection holding portion 402 '.
Projection holding portion 402 ' forms as directed ' U ' shape, and protrusion directs part 402 " be formed integrally as on the upper end of projection holding portion 402 ' and extend.Protrusion directs part 402 " for the distance between the two ends along with its ' V ' shape shape that upwards increases gradually.Therefore, guiding piece 402 is installed and is had the shape of the roughly combination of ' U ' and ' V '.
Simultaneously, guide protrusion 404 forms and makes its height from top to bottom form circular greater than its width and its bottom from left to right relatively.That is, as shown in FIG., the lower end of guide protrusion 404 forms the outstanding semi-circular shape of central portion downwards.
Therefore, from above water tank 210 is installed to the situation of ice making case 202, the lower surface of guide protrusion 404 is in protrusion directs part 402 " on slide and be directed into projection holding portion 402 '.
Separate anti-locking apparatus 410 and comprise that separation prevents projection 412 and stop rib 414, separate preventing that projection 412 and stop rib 414 are respectively formed on ice making case 202 and the water tank 210, have the shape that corresponds to each other and also interfere mutually.
Separate that to prevent that projection 412 from forming from the madial wall of ice making case 202 inwardly outstanding, and that stop rib 414 forms from the lateral wall of water tank 210 is outwards outstanding.In addition, thus separating the end prevent projection 412 and stop rib 414 forms streamlinedly and has the circular bend part.
More specifically with reference to Figure 26, separate prevent projection 412 form make it rising height 1. less than the inside rising height that guiding piece 402 is installed and in the situation of installing water tank 210 also 2. less than the madial wall of ice making case 202 and the distance between the guide protrusion 404.
This restriction that separates the lateral protrusion height that prevents projection 412 makes to separate and prevents that projection 412 from can not hinder the attached of water tank 210 and dismounting.That is, the restriction that separates the lateral protrusion height prevent projection 412 make when attached or when dismantling water tank 210 guide protrusion 404 prevent that with separating projection 412 from can not interfere mutually.
Simultaneously, as shown in Figure 27, separate to prevent that projection 412 and stop rib 414 from forming and make their terminal part be in contact with one another.Therefore, if a certain size or bigger vertical power are put on water tank 210, then stop rib 414 moves on to and separates the above and below that prevents projection 412.
More specifically, Figure 25 shows the state that water tank 210 is installed to ice making case 202.At this moment, because stop rib 414 prevents projection 412 interferences and be positioned to separate the below that prevents projection 412 with separating, upwards break away from so prevent water tank 210.
That is, owing to when water tank 210 is installed to ice making case 202, push away opening 212 on the interference lever 222, so water tank 210 is tending towards upwards being separated.But,, upwards break away from so prevent water tank 210 because stop rib 414 is positioned to separate the below that prevents projection 412.
But, because stop rib 414 and separation prevent that the latching force that interference produced between the projection 412 from not being very big, so, the water lift the case 210 if user makes progress, thus then stop rib 414 partly crooked and separation prevent to slide on the projection 412 move on to separate prevent projection 412 above.Therefore, water tank 210 separates with ice making case 202.
On the contrary, if push away water tank 210 downwards, thereby then be positioned at separate the stop rib 414 prevent projection 412 tops crooked and prevent from separation to slide on the end of projection 412 move on to separate prevent projection 412 below, that is, and the state shown in Figure 26.
So, comprise stop rib 414 and separate the anti-locking apparatus 410 of the separation that prevents projection 412 and be constructed to when applying a certain size or bigger power its effect and can not bring into play.That is, preferably, separate anti-locking apparatus 410 and be constructed to when the power that applies pushes away the used power of opening 212 on greater than interference lever 222 its effect inefficacy.
Be typically:
As the aforementioned described in the embodiment, separate preventing from projection 412 and guiding piece 402 is installed to be formed on the ice making case 202 and stop rib 414 and guide protrusion 404 are formed on the water tank 210, vice versa.That is, separate to prevent from projection 412 and guiding piece 402 is installed to be formed on the water tank 210, and stop rib 414 and guide protrusion 404 can be formed on the ice making case 202.
Hereinafter, elaboration is fed to water from the outside process of Icemaker assembly 200 and the process that water is transferred to ice pan.
Should be that Icemaker assembly 200 supplies water from the outside.At this moment, after opening refrigerating chamber door 100 and opening the upper end of ice making case 202 subsequently, water tank 210 is pulled out to the outside.
Promptly, if the user catches water tank 210 and subsequently by a certain size the power water lift case 210 that makes progress, then the separation that is positioned at as shown in Figure 25 prevents from stop rib 414 bendings of projection 412 belows and moves on to separate the top that prevents projection 412, makes water tank 210 separate with ice making case 202.
After this, water is filled in the water tank 210 that is divided into two parts, subsequently, the water tank 210 that water is housed is positioned its original position in Icemaker assembly 200 once more.
At this moment, if water tank 210 is positioned its original position, then makes on the opening 212 and move by interference lever 222.If opening 212 is moved as mentioned above on the ground, then water supply orifice 214 is opened, thereby the water in the water tank 210 is to the whereabouts.
More specifically, if water tank 210 separates with ice making case 202, then open and close plug 362 and close water supply orifice 214.Therefore, in aforesaid state, water is filled in the water tank 210 and with water is stored at wherein.
Next, water tank 210 is stored at the upper end that state in the water tank 210 is installed to ice making case 202 with water.At this moment, by assembly guiding structure 400 guiding water tanks 210.
More specifically, if put down water tank 210 from the top of ice making case 202, as shown in figure 25, the protrusion directs part 402 that then makes the lower end of guide protrusion 404 and guiding piece 402 is installed " contact and in this protrusion directs part 402 " go up slip and move on to this protrusion directs part 402 " and central portion, guide protrusion 404 inserts smoothly and is contained in the projection holding portion 402 ' subsequently.
Simultaneously, stop rib 414 prevents projection 412 interferences with separating, thus wherein because the load of water tank 210 makes stop rib 414 crooked moving on to separate the below that prevents projection 412 with the downward power that the user applies, that is, and the state shown in Figure 26.
Subsequently, finish the installation of water tank 210, and water tank 201 is fixed and no longer upwards disengaging.
When by aforesaid process water tank 210 being installed to ice making case 202, water supply orifice 214 is opened.That is, when installing water tank 210, the contact rib 354 of opening 212 contacts with the bar head 372 of interference lever 222.
Therefore, interference lever 222 promotes the front end of opening 212, that is, and and the front end (among Figure 24, right-hand member) of contact rib 354.Subsequently, the front end (among Figure 24, right-hand member) of the opening 360 integrally formed with contacting rib 354 is bent upwards simultaneously.That is, thereby opening 212 forms to extend upward in front and back and has elasticity, make when on when pushing away the front end of opening 212 front end of opening 212 crooked and with respect to its rear end on move.
So, move, then closed on the switching plug 362 of water supply orifice 214 and moved the supply orifice 214 of fetching boiling water thus if open and close on the front end of rib 360.Subsequently, the water in the water tank 210 falls and is fed to ice pan 224 via water supply orifice 214.
Further, coil on 224 ' and lower wall 224 " be full of the water that falls from water tank 210.If water tank 210 has been supplied water as described above, then the water in the water tank 210 is fallen in the ice pan 224 automatically.
After the outside was fed to water the Icemaker assembly 200, the user closed refrigerating chamber door 100 as described above.Subsequently, thus make ice by the freezing water that is contained in the ice pan 224 of the cold air in the refrigerating chamber.
If the water in the ice pan 224 is frozen and makes ice, then the user opens refrigerating chamber door 100 and drop-down ice declutcher control lever 240 once more.Therefore, ice pan 224 rotations distortion simultaneously, and at this moment, some ice that are mounted in it are fallen in the ice bank 230.
