Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a first aspect of the present application provides an insulation cover 100 for an ice making assembly for blocking heat exchange between the inside and the outside of the insulation cover 100. The heat insulation cover 100 of the ice making assembly comprises an inner shell 101, an outer cover 102 and a first heat insulation piece 103, wherein the outer cover 102 is sleeved outside the inner shell 101, an accommodating space is formed between the outer cover and the inner shell 101, and the first heat insulation piece 103 is arranged in the accommodating space and is suitable for keeping the temperature in the ice making chamber.

The first heat insulation member 103 may be disposed in close contact with the wall surfaces of the inner case 101 and the outer case 102, or may be disposed in the accommodating space separately from the wall surfaces of the inner case 101 and the outer case 102, so as to block heat exchange between the inside and the outside of the ice making compartment.

As can be appreciated, the first thermal insulation member 103 is arranged between the inner shell 101 and the outer shell 102, so that heat exchange between the inside of the thermal insulation cover 100 of the ice making assembly and the outside is reduced, the temperature in the thermal insulation cover 100 of the ice making assembly is maintained, the thermal insulation capacity of the thermal insulation cover 100 of the ice making assembly is improved, the energy loss of the refrigeration equipment 500 is reduced, and the energy consumption is further reduced; the first thermal insulation member 103 can reduce the volume of the accommodating space between the inner case 101 and the outer case 102 as compared with the foamed layer to reduce the overall structural volume of the thermal insulation cover 100 of the ice making assembly.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the inner case 101 may define an ice making compartment as a protective case of the ice making compartment to insulate the ice making compartment from the refrigerating compartment 501 while separating the ice making compartment from the refrigerating compartment 501. The first heat insulation member 103 is disposed between the inner casing 101 and the outer casing 102, so as to reduce heat exchange between the inside of the ice making compartment and the outside, maintain the temperature in the ice making compartment, improve the heat preservation capability of the ice making compartment, reduce the energy loss of the refrigeration equipment 500, and further reduce energy consumption.

As shown in fig. 4, it can be understood that when the first thermal insulator 103 is fixedly provided on at least one of the inner case 101 and the outer case 102. The first thermal insulator 103 may be provided on a surface of the inner case 101 facing the outer case 102 or on a surface of the outer case 102 facing the inner case 101. The first thermal insulator 103 may also be provided on both a side surface of the inner case 101 facing the outer case 102 and a side surface of the outer case 102 facing the inner case 101. The specific arrangement can be selected according to the heat insulation effect generated by the first heat insulation member 103 in the actual use process.

Specifically, the first thermal insulator 103 is disposed on at least two sidewalls of the housing 102. Since the remaining two sidewalls of the housing 102 may contact the cabinet body of the refrigerating compartment 501 when the ice-making assembly 200 is installed in the freezing compartment 502, the two sidewalls do not allow heat exchange between the ice-making compartment and the refrigerating compartment 501. The first thermal insulation member 103 is mainly disposed on one side wall or two side walls of the outer cover 102 contacting with the air in the refrigerating compartment 501, so as to prevent heat exchange between the heat in the ice making compartment and the heat in the refrigerating compartment 501, and improve the thermal insulation capability of the ice making compartment.

The first heat insulating material 103 mainly plays a role of heat insulation and heat insulation, and when the volume of the heat insulating material foamed between the inner casing 101 and the outer casing 102 is the same, the heat insulating effect of the first heat insulating material 103 is superior to the heat insulating effect after foaming the heat insulating material. Or under the same heat insulation effect, the volume of the first heat insulation member 103 is smaller than that of the foamed heat insulation material. The first thermal insulation member 103 may be at least one of a vacuum panel, an asbestos panel, an extruded panel, and a foam panel.

In order to further improve the heat insulation capability in the ice making chamber, a foaming material may be filled in the accommodating space to form a foaming layer, and the first heat insulating member 103 may be disposed on at least one side of the foaming layer or in the middle of the foaming layer.

Because there is no gap between the water-receiving tray 301 and the inner casing 101, air does not enter between the water-receiving tray 301 and the inner casing 101 and is condensed into frost at the bottom of the water-receiving tray 301 through the effect of cold energy.

The drain slot 3012 communicates with a drain port 3013, and extends obliquely downward to the outside of the tray body 3011. To discharge water in the water receiving tray 301 out of the ice making assembly 200.

The water-receiving tray assembly 300 only comprises the water-receiving tray 301 and the water discharge slot 3012 connected to the water-receiving tray 301, the defrosted water at the bottom of the ice-making member 2011 is contained in the water-receiving tray 301, and the water in the water-receiving tray 301 is discharged out of the ice-making assembly 200 through the water discharge slot 3012.

Due to the difference between the temperature inside and outside the water-receiving tray 301, frost can be formed on the outer surface of the water-receiving tray 301. Therefore, a heat insulator is provided outside the water collector tray 301 so as to surround the water collector tray 301. That is, the heat insulation member is arranged between the water receiving tray 301 and the water receiving shell, so that heat transfer between the water receiving tray 301 and the water receiving shell can be prevented.

The second thermal insulation 303 may be at least one of a vacuum panel, an asbestos panel, an extruded panel, and a foamed panel. The water receiving housing 302 may be made of plastic, which has low thermal conductivity and prevents frost from forming on the water receiving tray 301 and the water receiving housing.

It should be noted that the water tray 301 may be made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or copper. Therefore, the water pan 301 can absorb heat transfer of the heating pipe during defrosting, so that frost is rapidly melted and discharged.

In the assembly process of the water pan assembly 300 provided by the embodiment of the application, the water pan 301 is installed inside the heat insulation piece in an interference fit mode, and the water receiving shell 302 is bonded on the outer side of the heat insulation piece through glue.

The ice is easily separated from the ice making pieces 2011 by heating the ice making pieces 2011 by a heating tube, which may have a "U" shape extending along the periphery of the ice making pieces 2011.

In order to further increase the heat conduction efficiency between the water-receiving tray 301 and the heating pipe, a heat exchange portion 3014 is extended outwards from one side of the water-receiving tray 301 facing the heating pipe, and the heat exchange portion 3014 is attached to the surface of the heating pipe. When the ice making assembly 200 defrosts the heating pipe by supplying electricity thereto, heat of the heating pipe is transferred to the water receiving tray 301 through the heat exchanging portion 3014, so that frost on the water receiving tray 301 is melted and discharged from the water outlet 3013.
