Below with reference to the manual ice maker of Fig. 1-4 description according to the embodiment of the invention.Shown in Fig. 1-4, comprise body 100, ice maker container 200 and deice assembly according to the manual ice maker of the embodiment of the invention.Be limited with first container cavity in the body 100, the antetheca 110 of body 100 is provided with first installing hole 111, and the rear wall 120 of body 100 is provided with second installing hole 121.Ice maker container 200 is located in described first container cavity, the antetheca of ice maker container 200 is provided with first 210, and the rear wall of ice maker container 200 is provided with second 220, wherein be rotatably installed in for first 210 in first installing hole 111 and stretch out 111, the second 220 of first installing holes and be rotatably installed in second installing hole 121.
The described assembly that deices comprises framework 310, knob 320, first gear 330 and second gear 340.Framework 310 is located at antetheca 110 outsides of body 100, and knob 320 is being rotatably installed on the framework 310 between the primary importance and the second place.First gear 330 links to each other with knob 320 to rotate under the drive of knob 320, and second gear 340 is installed on first 210, and wherein second gear 340 and 330 engagements of first gear are to rotate around first 210 under the drive of first gear 330.When knob 320 was positioned at described primary importance, the open surfaces that ice maker container 200 is positioned at ice making position and ice maker container 200 was in level.When knob 320 was positioned at the described second place, ice maker container 200 was positioned at the open surfaces that deices position and ice maker container 200 and is in heeling condition to deice.
According to the manual ice maker of the embodiment of the invention by be provided with first gear 330 drive 340 rotations of second gear, and and then drive ice maker container 200 rotations and deice realizing by driving first 210 rotation, thereby can not need deice operation in the front side of described manual ice maker, but above described manual ice maker, deicing operation, the user need not to bend over just can finish to deice operation like this.Therefore, the manual ice maker according to the embodiment of the invention has the advantage of being convenient to operate.In addition, deicing operation above described manual ice maker does not need very big operating space, front side, therefore is suitable for having the refrigerator of drawer type door of refrigerator according to the manual ice maker of the embodiment of the invention.
Wherein, the antetheca 110 of body 100 is meant the close user's of body 100 wall, and the rear wall 120 of body 100 is meant the wall away from the user of body 100, promptly relative with antetheca 110 wall.When deicing operation, knob 320 moves to the described second place from described primary importance and drives 330 rotations of first gear thereby the user can rotate knob 320, and then first gear 330 drive with second gear, 340 rotations of first gear, 330 engagements and second gear 340 drive first 210 rotation and and then drive ice maker container 200 and rotate to the described position that deices from described ice making position, the open surfaces that promptly rotates to ice maker container 200 from the position that the open surfaces of ice maker container 200 is in level is in the position of heeling condition, deices thereby finish.
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4, in some embodiments of the invention, framework 310 can have horizontal part 311, and knob 320 can flatly be installed on the horizontal part 311.By horizontal part 311 is set, can makes the knob 320 and first gear 330 be in level, thereby can directly over described manual ice maker, deice operation.Deice operation with oblique upper and compare, directly over described manual ice maker, deice operation and not only have convenient advantage, and operating space, needed front side is littler in described manual ice maker.In addition, because first gear 330 is in level, therefore first gear 330 can mesh better with second gear 340 that is in vertical state.
In one embodiment of the invention, the front surface of knob 320 can be provided with operating portion 321.As shown in Figure 4, operating portion 321 can be a crossbeam, and this beam structure can make things convenient for the user to grip and rotate knob 320.In a concrete example of the present invention, first gear 330 can be a spur gear wheel, and second gear 340 can be the imperial crown gear.
In some embodiments of the invention, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4, framework 310 can also comprise occlusion part 312, and occlusion part 312 can be connected on the lower surface of horizontal part 311 to limit between the outside of the antetheca 100 of horizontal part 311 and occlusion part 312 and body 100 and be used to hold described second container cavity that deices assembly.By being set, occlusion part 312 not only can form protection to the described assembly that deices; promptly first gear 330 and second gear 340 are formed protection, and the unexpected injury that can avoid the user when deicing operation, to cause because of first gear 330 that is meshed and second gear 340.
As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments of the invention, described manual ice maker can also comprise elastic component 400, elastic component 400 can be installed on second 220, wherein an end of elastic component 400 can be fixed on the ice maker container 200, and the other end of elastic component 400 can be fixed on the body 100 to drive ice maker container 200 and gets back to described ice making position from the described position that deices.When deicing operation, along with the rotation of ice maker container 200, elastic component 400 produces strain (for example be compressed or elongate).By elastic component 400 is set, after deicing EO, the user need not to carry out the operation that ice maker container 200 resets again, and can ice maker container 200 be automatically reset, thereby make things convenient for the user to use.In a concrete example of the present invention, elastic component 400 can be a spring, and for example elastic component 400 can be a torsion spring.
In examples more of the present invention, described manual ice maker can also comprise spacing preiection, and described spacing preiection can be located at the anglec of rotation that is used to limit ice maker container 200 on the inner surface of rear wall 120 of body 100.Can prevent ice maker container 200 rotations excessively by described spacing preiection is set, thereby avoid damaging ice maker container 200.The concrete setting height of described spacing preiection can be carried out adaptability design according to the size of ice maker container 200, installation site, shape etc.Described spacing preiection can be cuboid, cube, cylinder etc.
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4, ice maker container 200 can be that a plurality of and described assembly that deices can be a plurality of, and wherein the antetheca 110 of body 100 rear wall 120 that can be provided with a plurality of first installing holes 111 and body 100 can be provided with a plurality of second installing holes 121 so that a plurality of ice maker containers 200 to be installed.That is to say, one first installing hole 111 and one second installing hole 121 can be installed an ice maker container 200, the described assembly that deices can deice an ice maker container 200, and one of them second gear 340 can be installed on one first 210.Be that the elastic component 400 of respective number, described spacing preiection etc. can also be set with it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that.
The present invention also provides a kind of refrigerator.Refrigerator according to the embodiment of the invention comprises casing and manual ice maker.Be limited with freezing compartment in the described casing, described manual ice maker is located in the described freezing compartment, and wherein said manual ice maker is above-mentioned manual ice maker.
According to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the invention not the needs user bend over just can finish to deice operation, and can in less operating space, front side, finish and deice operation, therefore described refrigerator has the advantage of being convenient to operate.And, when not needing to prepare ice cube, can take out described manual ice maker is whole, thereby saved the reefer space of refrigerator.
Manual ice maker according to the embodiment of the invention has the advantage of being convenient to operate.
