在一些实施例中,参见图6和图15,当风机组件420工作时,循环风扇422从吸风侧抽风(例如从固定盘440与制冰格430之间的通风道抽取冷风),向出风侧吹风。
在图15中,所述出风侧为前侧即循环风扇422向前吹风。冷风向前并向下运动,流经制冰腔室130的前向角落位置以及储冰容器500后,继续流经制冰腔室130的后向角落位置,以及接水盘450与固定盘440之间的回风道,并通过固定盘440底部的回风孔441,重新被循环风扇422吸入,如此循环,风循环的路径大致如图15中的箭头所示。
制冰腔室130内的空气在上述风循环中换热,有助于使制冰腔室130内保持温度均衡的状态,利于解决因温度差而产生的结霜、冰块粘连或融化等问题。例如,整个制冰腔室130内的制冰单元400及储冰容器500所在的区域均达到温度均衡的状态。
以上所述,仅为本公开的具体实施方式,但本公开的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本公开揭露的技术范围内,想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本公开的保护范围之内。因此,本公开的保护范围应以所述权利要求的保护范围为准。
本领域技术人员应当理解,本公开中所涉及的公开范围,并不限于上述技术特征的特定组合而成的技术方案,同时也应涵盖在不脱离公开构思的情况下,由上述技术特征或其等同特征进行任意组合而形成的其它技术方案。例如上述特征与一些实施例公开的(但不限于)具有类似功能的技术特征进行互相替换而形成的技术方案。
