具体实施方式
以下将结合附图所示的具体实施方式对本发明进行详细描述。但这些实施方式 并不限制本发明，本领域的普通技术人员根据这些实施方式所做出的结构、方法、或功能上的变换均包含在本发明的保护范围内。
在本发明具体实施方式的描述中，术语“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“左”、“右”、“竖直”、“水平”、“底”、“内”和“外”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系，通常以制冰机处于正常使用状态为参照，而并不是指示所指的位置或元件必须具有特定的方位。
再者，应当理解的是尽管术语第一、第二等在本文中可以被用于描述各种元件或结构，但是这些被描述对象不应受到上述术语的限制。上述术语仅用于将这些描述对象彼此区分开。例如，第一侧部可以被称作第二侧部，同样，第二侧部也可以被称作第一侧部，这并不背离该申请的保护范围。
本发明提供的第一优选实施例公开了一种冰箱，冰箱包括箱体(未图示)和用于打开或关闭箱体的门体(未图示)，箱体定义了储物间室，其中储物间室的数量和结构形式可根据不同需求进行配置。储物间室通常包括冷藏室和冷冻室。
如图1至图6所示，冰箱还包括制冰机100，制冰机100设于箱体或门体上。制冰机100包括具有复数个制冰格12的制冰盒14，制冰格12具有开口，其中制冰机100还包括支架20以及驱动制冰盒14旋转的电机组件30，电机组件30连接于支架20，制冰盒14的一端旋转支撑在支架20上，制冰盒14的另一端连接电机组件30并由电机组件30带动旋转，从而能够在制冰完成后扭转制冰盒14以实现脱冰。
本优选实施例中，制冰机100还包括安装在支架20上的风机40，支架20包括位于开口上部的顶板21以及位于顶板21的一侧的侧板22，制冰盒14的一端支撑在侧板22上，侧板22相对于制冰盒的侧边缘延伸出支撑板23，风机40连接于支撑板23上并且其引风方向朝向制冰盒14。风机40使得冷风直接吹向制冰格12，使得制冰机100的冷量来源形式为强制对流式冷风，并且风机40靠近制冰机100，强制对流效率高，使得结构简单，且制冰效率较高。
详细的，风机40设置为用于吹风的风机40，且风机40与冰箱的风口相邻设置，以将冷风吹到制冰盒。当然，风机40也可以设置为用于吸风的风机40，且风机40与冰箱的风口相对设置，以将冷风吸进制冰盒。
本优选实施例中，支撑板23可以与支架20可拆卸地设置。当然，支撑板23也可以与支架20采用一体成型结构。具体的，支撑板23上设有风机孔24，风机孔24构造为方形孔，风机孔24的周围均匀设有四个螺钉孔28，风机40通过四个螺钉连接到螺钉孔28以固定到支撑板23朝向制冰盒14的一侧。当然，也可以采用其它连 接方式将风机连接于支撑板，如铆接、卡接等其它连接方式。支撑板23的延伸方向与制冰盒14一端到另一端的方向之间的夹角α小于等于75度，本实施例中优选为60度，以能够吹到最远处的制冰格。侧板22与支撑板23的连接处设有开口231，风机40的电线从开口231穿过。另外，风机40的旋转中心线位于制冰盘14的上表面和下表面之间，以使得冷风既能够吹到制冰格的上侧水面，又能够吹向制冰格的底面，从而加速制冰。
制冰机100还包括扭冰杆62以及连接扭冰杆62的固定块61，制冰盒14具有背对开口的底部，固定块61卡设固定于制冰格12的底部。具体的，固定块61填充制冰格12底部中间部分的空隙，扭冰杆62的一端周向活动的插入固定块61，扭冰杆62的另一端抵接于风机组件30上，扭冰杆62自制冰盒14的中部延伸至制冰盒14连接电机组件30的位置呈90度弯折后朝制冰盒14的一侧延伸，制冰盒14沿第一方向旋转抵接于扭冰杆62以变形脱冰，制冰盒14沿与第一方向相反的第二方向旋转与扭冰杆62的一部分分离，当制冰盒14旋转到制冰格12的开口朝下时，冰块与制冰格12分离并掉落到制冰机100下部的储冰筒(图未示)内。具体的，固定块61的两侧延伸出凸柱611，对应的制冰格12的底部设有卡槽121，凸柱611卡在卡槽121内使固定块61相对于制冰盒14固定。扭冰杆62插入固定块61的一端为第一端，扭冰杆62抵接电机组件30的一端为第二端，本实施例中优选的，自第一端到第二端具有两个90度的弯折，使得第二端抵接在电机组件30侧部的凸起31上。当电机组件30驱动制冰盒14沿第一方向旋转时，制冰盒14的一侧抵压扭冰杆62以变形，使得冰块与制冰格12分离，这样当电机组件30驱动制冰盒14沿第二方向旋转到制冰格12的开口朝下时，冰块在重力的作用下自动掉落。制冰机100还包括储冰筒(未图示)，储冰筒设于制冰盒14的下方，用于接收制冰盒14制得的冰块。当制冰盒14由电机组件30驱动沿第二方向转动时，制冰格12内的冰块掉落到储冰筒内。
制冰机100还包括控制板(未图示)，控制板与电机组件30和风机40电连接，以用于控制电机组件30和风机40的运行。另外，电机组件30上还连接有探冰杆50，探冰杆50可以旋转一定角度，如果储冰筒中满冰状态，顶层的冰块会阻挡探冰杆50旋转，向控制板传递满冰信号，将风机40停止，停止向制冰盒14传输冷风，从而停止制冰。
为使制冰盒14更容易脱冰，进一步提高制冰效率，制冰盒14的材质为弹性塑料材质，尤其可以采用橡胶、硅胶等。当然，制冰盒14也可以采用其它塑料材质。
