In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present application provides an ice making device 10, including: the condensing unit 110, the water supply unit 120, the guide mechanism 130, and the ice box 140 having a plurality of ice trays 141 therein. The condensing assembly 110 and the water supply assembly 120 are spaced apart in a first direction, and the guide direction of the guide mechanism 130 is parallel to the first direction. The ice bank 140 is slidably disposed on the guide mechanism 130 such that the ice bank 140 has a first position and a second position. When the ice bin 140 is at the first position, as shown in fig. 2, the ice bin 140 is opposite to the water supply assembly 120, and each of the outlet pipes 121 of the water supply assembly 120 can be inserted into the corresponding each of the ice trays 141. When the ice bin 140 is at the second position, as shown in fig. 3, the ice bin 140 is opposite to the condensing assembly 110, and each cooling cannula 111 of the condensing assembly 110 can be inserted into a corresponding each ice tray 141.

In the structure of the ice making device 10, since the condensing assembly 110 and the water supply assembly 120 are spaced apart in the first direction, the guide direction of the guide mechanism 130 is parallel to the first direction, and the ice bank 140 is slidably disposed on the guide mechanism 130 such that the ice bank 140 has the first position and the second position. Therefore, when the ice making device 10 is used and the water filling operation is required for the ice bank 140, the ice bank 140 can be located at the first position, and at this time, the ice bank 140 is opposite to the water supply unit 120 and the water outlet branch pipe 121 of the water supply unit 120 can be inserted into the ice tray 141 of the ice bank 140, so that the water filling operation into the ice tray 141 of the ice bank 140 can be completed. When the water in the ice box 140 needs to be refrigerated, the ice box 140 is moved to enable the ice box 140 to be located at the second position, at this time, the ice box 140 is opposite to the condensing assembly 110, and the refrigeration insertion tube 111 of the condensing assembly 110 can be inserted into the ice tray 141 in the ice box 140, so that the refrigeration operation on the water in the ice tray 141 can be completed. When the ice making is completed, the ice bank 140 is moved to allow the ice bank 140 to be located at the first position again for the next ice making operation. In the ice making device 10, the ice bin 140 is switched in position between the condensing assembly 110 and the water supply assembly 120 by the guide mechanism 130 by disposing the condensing assembly 110 and the water supply assembly 120 at an interval to complete the water filling and ice making operations. In the process, the water supply assembly 120 and the condensation assembly 110 do not need to be repeatedly replaced at the same fixed position to complete water injection and ice making operation, so that the time efficiency of ice making is improved while the operation process is simplified.

For the convenience of clearly understanding the arrangement direction of the first direction in the present embodiment, taking fig. 1 as an example, the first direction is S in fig. 1₁The direction indicated.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, on the basis of the above embodiments, in an embodiment, the guide mechanism 130 includes a first guide member 131. The first guide 131 includes a first rail 1311, a first driver 1312, and a first support 1313 slidably mounted on the first rail 1311. The ice bank 140 is provided on the first supporting seat 1313, and the first guide 1311 is provided in a first direction. First drive 1312 can drive first support 1313 to slide on first rail 1311 such that ice bin 140 has a first position and a second position on first rail 1311. And the first position is located below the water supply assembly 120 and the second position is located below the condensing assembly 110. Thus, the first supporting seat 1313 may drive the ice bin 140 to move along the first direction on the first guide 1311, so that the water supply assembly 120 may fill water into the ice tray 141 when the ice bin 140 is at the first position. In addition, the first supporting seat 1313 may also enable the ice bin 140 to be in the second position, and in the second position, a condensing operation may be performed in the ice tray 141 by the condensing assembly 110.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 3, fig. 5 and fig. 6, further, on the basis of the above embodiments, in an embodiment, the guiding mechanism 130 further includes a second guiding element 132 connected to the first guiding element 131. The second guiding element 132 includes a second guiding rail 1321, a second driver 1322, and a second supporting seat 1323 slidably disposed on the second guiding rail 1321. The second guide rail 1321 is disposed in a second direction, and the second direction intersects the first direction. The ice bin 140 is disposed on the second support 1323, the second guiding element 132 is disposed on the first support 1313, and the second actuator 1322 can drive the second support 1323 to slide on the second rail 1321, such that the ice bin 140 has a first state and a second state at the first position and the second position. When the ice box 140 is in the first state, the water outlet pipe 121 or the refrigeration cannula 111 is separated from the ice tray 141. When the ice box 140 is in the second state, the outlet pipe 121 or the cooling insert pipe 111 is inserted into the ice tray 141. Thus, when water needs to be filled into the ice bank 140, the ice bank 140 is located at the first position, and the second guide 132 is used to switch the ice bank 140 between the first state and the second state, thereby completing the water filling operation. When the water in the ice bin 140 needs to be frozen after the water filling operation is completed, the ice bin 140 is set at the second position, and the second guide 132 is used to switch the ice bin 140 between the first state and the second state, so as to complete the condensing and freezing operations.

For the convenience of clear understanding of the arrangement direction of the second direction in this embodiment, taking fig. 1 as an example, the second direction is S in fig. 1₂The direction indicated.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the second direction is respectively consistent with the axial direction of the water outlet branch pipe 121 and the axial direction of the refrigeration insertion pipe 111. Specifically, the first direction is a horizontal direction, the second direction is a vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

Specifically, when the ice bank 140 is located at the first position, the second guide 132 may place the ice bank 140 in the first state or the second state. That is, when the ice bin 140 is at the first position and in the first state, the water outlet branch pipe 121 is separated from the ice tray 141, and at this time, the water supply assembly 120 has completed the water filling operation or is in a state to be filled with water. When the ice box 140 is at the first position and in the second state, the water outlet branch pipe 121 is inserted into the ice tray 141, and at this time, the water outlet branch pipe 121 injects water into the ice tray 141.

The second guide 132 may also place the ice bin 140 in the first state or the second state when the ice bin 140 is in the second position. That is, when the ice bin 140 is at the second position and in the first state, the cooling cannula 111 is separated from the ice tray 141, and the condensing assembly 110 is in the cooling state or the state to be cooled. When the ice box 140 is at the second position and in the second state, the cooling cannula 111 is inserted into the ice tray 141, and at this time, the cooling cannula 111 is performing cooling operation in the ice tray 141.

Referring to fig. 7, in an embodiment based on the above embodiments, the ice making device 10 further includes an ice conveying pipe 150. The ice duct 150 is provided with a feed inlet 151 and a discharge outlet 152. The feed port 151 is opposite to the refrigeration insertion tube 111 of the condensation assembly 110. The side wall of the ice duct 150 is provided with a buffer member 160. The buffer member 160 is suspended in the ice transporting pipe 150, an included angle between the buffer member 160 and the side wall of the ice transporting pipe 150 is smaller than 90 °, and a distance between one end of the buffer member 160 suspended in the ice transporting pipe 150 and the feed opening 151 is greater than a distance between one end of the buffer member 160 connected with the side wall of the ice transporting pipe 150 and the feed opening 151. The ice drops onto the sloped buffering member 160 and slides into the ice cube collection box, thereby preventing the ice from falling down when the ice vertically impacts the ice cube collection box.

Optionally, the buffer member 160 is fixedly connected to a sidewall of the ice transporting duct 150. Therefore, the stability of the buffering member 160 can be improved, and the situation that the included angle between the buffering member 160 and the side wall of the ice conveying pipeline 150 is reduced due to the rotation of the buffering member 160 after being impacted by ice cubes, which affects the buffering effect of the buffering member 160 on the ice cubes, can be avoided.

Alternatively, the buffer member 160 is rotatably coupled to a sidewall of the ice duct 150. Therefore, the included angle between the buffer member 160 and the sidewall of the ice transporting pipeline 150 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the buffer member 160. Meanwhile, in the process that the ice bumps the buffer member 160, the buffer member 160 may rotate by a small extent, thereby further improving the buffering effect.

Referring to fig. 7, in an embodiment, the buffering member 160 has a plate-shaped structure, and the shape of the buffering member 160 corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the ice transporting duct 150. The buffer member 160 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of buffer members 160 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the ice duct 150. The two adjacent buffers 160 are respectively disposed on two opposite sidewalls of the ice transportation pipe 150, and the two adjacent buffers 160 are partially overlapped in the axial direction of the ice transportation pipe 150. In other words, there is a partial overlap of the projections of the two adjacent buffers 160 at the discharge port in the axial direction of the ice conveying pipe 150. Thus, when the ice cubes are separated from the ice making tubes, the ice cubes fall from the feeding hole 151 onto the first buffering member 160, and then slide down from the first buffering member 160 onto the second buffering member 160 until they slide down to the discharging hole 152. Therefore, the ice blocks are buffered for many times in the falling process, so that the buffering effect on the ice blocks is optimal.

To further improve the integrity of the ice cubes, the buffer member is optionally a rubber plate. So, can improve the buffer capacity of bolster for the ice-cube is difficult broken when falling to the rubber slab.

Referring to fig. 1, 7 and 8, in an embodiment based on the above embodiments, the ice making device 10 further includes a blanking mechanism 170. The blanking mechanism 170 includes a fan 171, a rotating shaft 172, and a rotary driving member 173. The fan blades 171 are disposed in the ice transportation pipe 150 and near the discharge port 152, one end of the rotating shaft 172 penetrates through the sidewall of the ice transportation pipe 150 and is connected to the fan blades 171, and the other end of the rotating shaft 172 is connected to the rotary driving member 173. The plurality of blades 171 are provided, and the plurality of blades 171 are provided on the rotating shaft 172 at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 172, and the rotary driving member 173 can drive the blades 171 to rotate around the central axis of the rotating shaft 172. Therefore, ice cubes falling from the buffer can be stored between two adjacent fan blades 171, when ice needs to be discharged, the rotating driving member 173 drives the rotating shaft 172 to rotate, and the ice cubes located between the fan blades 171 can fall into the ice cube collecting box from the discharging port 152.

In order to improve the efficiency of releasing ice cubes from the ice tray 141, referring to fig. 3 and 6, on the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment, the ice making device 10 further includes a heating member 180, and the heating member 180 is disposed at the bottom of the ice bin 140. In the ice making process, as the refrigeration insertion tube 111 is inserted into the ice tray 141 all the time, after the ice making process is completed, the refrigeration insertion tube 111 condenses with the ice cubes, and after the heating element 180 heats the bottom of the ice tray 141, the surface of the ice cubes in contact with the ice tray 141 melts, so that the ice cubes can be separated from the ice tray 141, and thus, under the action of the second guide member 132, the ice box 140 is driven to move downwards, and the ice cubes adhered to the refrigeration insertion tube 111 can be separated from the ice tray 141.

Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, the condensing assembly 110 has a cooling mode and a heating mode. In the cooling mode, water in the ice grid 141 condenses into ice cubes, and the ice cubes stick to the cooling cannula 111. In the heating mode, the ice cubes are separated from the refrigeration cannula 111.

Specifically, prior to making ice, the ice bin 140 is in the second position and the refrigeration cannula 111 is inserted into the ice grid 141. When ice is made, the condensing assembly 110 is in a cooling mode, at this time, the condensing assembly 110 can freeze and condense water in the ice tray 141 into ice cubes, and meanwhile, the ice cubes are adhered to the cooling insertion tube 111. After the ice making is completed, the heating member 180 heats the bottom of the ice box 140, the ice tray 141 is heated, the surface of the ice cubes contacting the ice tray 141 is melted, and the ice cubes can be separated from the ice tray 141. Subsequently, the ice bin 140 is switched from the second state to the first state using the second guide 132, at which time the ice cubes are stuck on the cooling cannula 111 and separated from the ice bin 140. The ice bin 140 is then moved to the first position to secure the refrigeration insert tube 111 with the ice pieces opposite the feed opening 151 of the ice transport conduit 150. When the ice cubes need to be dropped from the cooling insertion tube 111, the condensing assembly 110 is switched to the heating mode, and at this time, the temperature of the cooling insertion tube 111 rises, so that the surface of the ice cubes contacting with the cooling insertion tube 111 is melted. Under the action of gravity, the ice falls to the feed inlet 151 and is finally discharged from the discharge outlet 152.

To improve the cleanliness of the ice making device 10, a water receiving tank (not shown) is optionally provided below the water supply assembly 120 in one embodiment. When the ice bank 140 is in the first position, the ice bank 140 is positioned between the water supply assembly 120 and the water receiving tub. Thus, when water overflows from the ice tray 141, the water can flow into the water receiving tank, and the water is prevented from flowing to other parts and mechanisms to reduce the safety and cleanness of the ice making device 10.
