In this embodiment, the ice box contact block 90 can extend out of the ice storage compartment 10 when the door 80 is opened, and extend into the ice storage compartment 10 when the door 80 is closed.
而且,在门体80打开后,所述储冰盒30脱离所述冰盒抵接块90并向储冰间室10外侧方向旋转,以使所述储冰盒30的取放口39至少部分向储冰间室10外侧方向暴露。本实施例中,储冰盒30向储冰间室10外侧方向旋转指的是:储冰盒30的取放口39原先是朝向上方,经过旋转后取放口39逐渐向前倾斜,并逐渐朝向储冰间室10外侧方向暴露。Moreover, after the door 80 is opened, the ice storage box 30 is separated from the ice box contact block 90 and rotates toward the outside of the ice storage compartment 10 so that at least part of the access opening 39 of the ice storage box 30 is It is exposed toward the outside direction of the ice storage compartment 10 . In this embodiment, the rotation of the ice storage box 30 toward the outside of the ice storage compartment 10 means that the access opening 39 of the ice storage box 30 is originally facing upward. After the rotation, the access opening 39 gradually tilts forward and gradually tilts forward. It is exposed toward the outside of the ice storage compartment 10 .
可见,通过在门体80上设置朝向储冰间室10内凸伸并抵接于储冰盒30下侧的冰盒抵接块90,随着门体80的打开,储冰盒30与冰盒抵接块90脱离抵接,储冰盒30的取放口39随自身的旋转向储冰间室10外侧方向暴露,从而便于用户取冰,提升用户体验。It can be seen that by providing the ice box abutting block 90 on the door 80 that protrudes toward the inside of the ice storage compartment 10 and abuts against the lower side of the ice storage box 30, as the door 80 is opened, the ice box 30 and the ice The box abutting block 90 is disengaged, and the access opening 39 of the ice storage box 30 is exposed toward the outside of the ice storage compartment 10 as it rotates, thereby facilitating the user to access ice and improving the user experience.
进一步的,所述冰箱还包括设置于储冰间室10内并传动连接所述储冰盒30的转动组件60,使得所述储冰盒30远离储冰间室10的一侧围绕所述转动组件60的旋 转轴线向冰盒抵接块90的下方转动。Furthermore, the refrigerator further includes a rotating assembly 60 disposed in the ice storage compartment 10 and drivingly connected to the ice storage box 30 so that the side of the ice storage box 30 away from the ice storage compartment 10 rotates around the Assembly 60 The rotation axis rotates below the ice box abutment block 90 .
本实施例中,转动组件60的设置,能够实现储冰盒30围绕转动组件60的旋转轴线在储冰间室10内旋转。In this embodiment, the arrangement of the rotating assembly 60 enables the ice storage box 30 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 60 in the ice storage compartment 10 .
配合参照图3和图4所示,进一步的,所述储冰盒30具有位于下部的盒底壁37,所述转动组件60设置于盒底壁37前后两端连线的垂直中线的后侧。Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 , further, the ice storage box 30 has a box bottom wall 37 located at the lower part, and the rotating assembly 60 is disposed on the rear side of the vertical center line connecting the front and rear ends of the box bottom wall 37 .
本实施例中,将转动组件60设置于盒底壁37前后两端连线的垂直中线的后侧,即实现了储冰盒30所围绕的旋转轴线位于盒底壁37前后两端连线的垂直中线的后侧。这样一来,储冰盒30旋转同样的角度时,其前端的活动范围大于其后端,既能够保证储冰盒30的后端不会与储冰间室10的内壁形成干涉,又能保证用户从储冰盒30前端取用物品时较为方便。In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 60 is disposed on the rear side of the vertical center line connecting the front and rear ends of the box bottom wall 37 , that is, the rotation axis around the ice storage box 30 is located on the vertical center line connecting the front and rear ends of the box bottom wall 37 . Posterior side of vertical midline. In this way, when the ice storage box 30 rotates at the same angle, its front end has a greater range of movement than its rear end, which not only ensures that the rear end of the ice storage box 30 will not interfere with the inner wall of the ice storage compartment 10, but also ensures that It is more convenient for the user to access items from the front end of the ice storage box 30 .
进一步的,所述储冰盒30还具有相对于盒底壁37左右设置的盒侧壁35,所述储冰间室10具有左右相对设置的间室侧壁23,所述转动组件60设于所述盒侧壁35与所述间室侧壁23之间。Furthermore, the ice storage box 30 also has box side walls 35 arranged left and right relative to the bottom wall 37 of the box, the ice storage compartment 10 has compartment side walls 23 arranged opposite to the left and right, and the rotating assembly 60 is located on between the box side wall 35 and the compartment side wall 23.
本实施例中,所述转动组件60为设于所述间室侧壁23与盒侧壁35之间的转动轴61。转动轴61固定于储冰盒30的盒侧壁35上,然后利用轴承或其他旋转组件连接于间室侧壁23,从而实现储冰盒30可旋转地设置于储冰间室10内。In this embodiment, the rotating component 60 is a rotating shaft 61 provided between the compartment side wall 23 and the box side wall 35 . The rotating shaft 61 is fixed on the side wall 35 of the ice storage box 30 and is then connected to the side wall 23 of the compartment using bearings or other rotating components, so that the ice storage box 30 is rotatably disposed in the ice storage compartment 10 .
转动组件60采用结构简单的转动轴61,能够节约间室侧壁23与盒侧壁35之间的安装空间,从而节约储冰间室10的使用空间。The rotating assembly 60 adopts a rotating shaft 61 with a simple structure, which can save the installation space between the compartment side wall 23 and the box side wall 35, thereby saving the use space of the ice storage compartment 10.
配合参照图5和图6所示,进一步的,所述冰箱还包括设于所述储冰间室10内的限位凸台70,在门体80打开后,储冰盒30脱离冰盒抵接块90后抵靠于所述限位凸台70。Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , further, the refrigerator further includes a limiting boss 70 provided in the ice storage compartment 10 . After the door 80 is opened, the ice storage box 30 is separated from the ice box and reaches the limiter 70 . The connecting block 90 then abuts against the limiting boss 70 .
本实施例中,当储冰盒30脱离冰盒抵接块90后,继续向储冰间室10外侧方向旋转,并最终抵接于限位凸台70。限位凸台70的设置能够防止储冰盒30旋转过度,导致取放口39向下,确保储冰盒30内的物品或冰块无法掉出。In this embodiment, after the ice storage box 30 is separated from the ice box contact block 90 , it continues to rotate toward the outside of the ice storage compartment 10 , and finally contacts the limiting boss 70 . The setting of the limiting boss 70 can prevent the ice storage box 30 from excessive rotation, causing the access opening 39 to be downward, ensuring that items or ice cubes in the ice storage box 30 cannot fall out.
配合参照图7所示,具体的,所述限位凸台70顶端的竖直高度低于所述冰盒抵接块90顶端的竖直高度,并位于转动组件60的前侧。Referring to FIG. 7 , specifically, the vertical height of the top of the limiting boss 70 is lower than the vertical height of the top of the ice box abutment block 90 and is located on the front side of the rotating assembly 60 .
本实施例中,限位凸台70顶端的竖直高度低于所述冰盒抵接块90顶端的竖直高度,从而保证储冰盒30在向储冰间室10外侧方向旋转时,先接触到的是冰盒抵接块90,继续旋转之后才能接触限位凸台70。并且,限位凸台70位于转动组件60的前侧,同时限位凸台70的竖直高度低于转动组件60的竖直高度,从而当储冰盒30抵靠于限位凸台70后,盒底壁37呈前低后高的状态,避免储冰盒30向后旋转。 In this embodiment, the vertical height of the top of the limiting boss 70 is lower than the vertical height of the top of the ice box abutment block 90, thereby ensuring that when the ice storage box 30 rotates toward the outside of the ice storage compartment 10, it first What comes into contact is the ice box contact block 90, and it can only contact the limiting boss 70 after continuing to rotate. Moreover, the limiting boss 70 is located on the front side of the rotating assembly 60 , and the vertical height of the limiting boss 70 is lower than the vertical height of the rotating assembly 60 , so that when the ice storage box 30 abuts against the limiting boss 70 , the bottom wall 37 of the box is in a state of being low in the front and high in the back to prevent the ice storage box 30 from rotating backward.
进一步的,所述冰盒抵接块90在门体80关闭时驱使储冰盒30脱离限位凸台70向储冰间室10内侧方向旋转,并在门体80关闭后支撑于储冰盒30的下方。本实施例中,当储冰盒30内存有物品,处于非空置状态时,储冰盒30能够随门体80的关闭而恢复至初始的储存状态,无需人工转动储冰盒30,进一步提升用户体验。Furthermore, the ice box abutment block 90 drives the ice storage box 30 away from the limiting boss 70 to rotate toward the inside of the ice storage compartment 10 when the door 80 is closed, and is supported on the ice storage box after the door 80 is closed. Below 30. In this embodiment, when the ice storage box 30 contains items and is in a non-empty state, the ice storage box 30 can be restored to the initial storage state with the closing of the door 80 , without the need to manually rotate the ice storage box 30 , further improving the user experience. experience.
具体的,所述冰盒抵接块90具有位于其顶部的第一抵接壁91、相邻所述第一抵接壁91的第二抵接壁93,所述第二抵接壁93自第一抵接面91后端向后且向下倾斜设置,所述储冰盒30在门体80关闭时抵靠于所述第二抵接壁93,并在门体80关闭后抵靠于第一抵接壁91上,以保持储冰盒30的取放口39沿水平面布置。Specifically, the ice box abutment block 90 has a first abutment wall 91 located at the top and a second abutment wall 93 adjacent to the first abutment wall 91. The second abutment wall 93 extends from The rear end of the first contact surface 91 is inclined backward and downward. The ice storage box 30 abuts the second abutment wall 93 when the door 80 is closed, and abuts against the second abutment wall 93 after the door 80 is closed. The first abutting wall 91 keeps the access opening 39 of the ice storage box 30 arranged along the horizontal plane.
本实施例中,在门体80关闭的过程中,储冰盒30先是抵接于第二抵接壁93,由第二抵接壁93驱动储冰盒30缓慢上升并围绕转动组件60旋转。最后,在门体80完全关闭时,储冰盒30抵接于第一抵接壁91上,此时储冰盒30的取放口39沿水平面布置。In this embodiment, during the closing process of the door 80 , the ice storage box 30 first contacts the second abutment wall 93 , and the second abutment wall 93 drives the ice storage box 30 to rise slowly and rotate around the rotating assembly 60 . Finally, when the door 80 is completely closed, the ice storage box 30 abuts against the first abutment wall 91 , and at this time, the access opening 39 of the ice storage box 30 is arranged along the horizontal plane.
而且,由于储冰盒30的取放口39形成于其顶部,当储冰盒30处于储存状态时,为了保证储冰盒30存放更多的物品,需要满足取放口39所在平面沿水平设置,即满足取放口39朝向上方设置。Moreover, since the access opening 39 of the ice storage box 30 is formed on its top, when the ice storage box 30 is in the storage state, in order to ensure that the ice storage box 30 stores more items, the plane where the access opening 39 is located needs to be set horizontally. , that is, it satisfies that the access port 39 is arranged upward.
另外,当储冰盒30的紧邻上方设置有制冰机时,储冰盒30的取放口39所在平面保持水平,也能够更好地储存从制冰机落下的冰块。In addition, when an ice maker is installed immediately above the ice storage box 30, the plane where the access opening 39 of the ice storage box 30 is located remains horizontal, which can also better store ice cubes falling from the ice maker.
进一步的,所述储冰盒30还具有相对于盒底壁37前后设置的盒前壁31和盒后壁33,所述盒前壁31的上下宽度小于盒后壁33的上下宽度。Furthermore, the ice storage box 30 also has a box front wall 31 and a box rear wall 33 arranged front and back relative to the box bottom wall 37 . The upper and lower width of the box front wall 31 is smaller than the upper and lower width of the box rear wall 33 .
本实施例中,在取放口39所在平面呈水平状态下,所述储冰盒30具有位于转动组件60前侧的前侧部分30a和位于转动组件60后侧的后侧部分30b,盒后壁33的上下宽度大于盒前壁31的上下宽度,一方面,前侧部分30a相对于后侧部分30b质量更轻,为了保持平衡可将转动组件60后移。这样就能够增加前侧部分30a的活动范围,方便用户对储冰盒30内物品的取放。另一方面,减小盒前壁31的上下宽度,能够减小盒前壁31对取放物品产生的干涉。In this embodiment, when the plane where the access opening 39 is located is horizontal, the ice storage box 30 has a front part 30a located on the front side of the rotating assembly 60 and a rear part 30b located on the rear side of the rotating assembly 60. The upper and lower width of the wall 33 is larger than the upper and lower width of the box front wall 31. On the one hand, the front part 30a is lighter in mass than the rear part 30b. In order to maintain balance, the rotating assembly 60 can be moved backward. In this way, the range of movement of the front part 30a can be increased, making it convenient for the user to pick up and place items in the ice storage box 30. On the other hand, reducing the vertical width of the box front wall 31 can reduce the interference of the box front wall 31 on picking and placing items.
另外,盒前壁31与盒底壁37之间构成大于90°的夹角,在储冰盒30向前旋转后,盒前壁31处的干涉较小,方便用户从盒前壁31处取放物品。In addition, the angle between the front wall 31 and the bottom wall 37 of the box is greater than 90°. After the ice storage box 30 is rotated forward, the interference at the front wall 31 of the box is small, making it convenient for the user to take out the ice storage box from the front wall 31 of the box. Place items.
进一步的,所述转动轴61位于所述盒底壁37与盒后壁33的连接处。本实施例中,将转动轴61设于所述盒底壁37与盒后壁33的连接处,能够保证储冰盒30获得更大的旋转范围,从而取放口39的倾斜角度也更大,方便用户取放物品。Further, the rotation axis 61 is located at the connection between the box bottom wall 37 and the box rear wall 33 . In this embodiment, the rotation shaft 61 is provided at the connection between the bottom wall 37 and the rear wall 33 of the box, which can ensure that the ice storage box 30 obtains a larger rotation range, so that the inclination angle of the access opening 39 is also larger. , convenient for users to pick up and place items.
另外,由于盒后壁33的上下宽度大于盒前壁31的上下宽度,当储冰盒30额取 放口39所在平面处于水平状态时,储冰盒30内的物品容易在盒底壁37与盒后壁33的连接处堆积,转动轴61设置在该连接处能够更好地支撑储冰盒30,从而避免储冰盒30取放物品时发生较大幅度的偏转。In addition, since the upper and lower width of the box rear wall 33 is greater than the upper and lower width of the box front wall 31, when the ice storage box 30 is When the plane where the release opening 39 is located is in a horizontal state, the items in the ice storage box 30 are easy to accumulate at the connection between the bottom wall 37 of the box and the rear wall 33 of the box. The rotation shaft 61 is arranged at this connection to better support the ice storage box 30 , thereby avoiding large deflection of the ice storage box 30 when picking up and placing items.
配合参照图1至图6所示,本发明还提供优选地另一实施方式,本实施例中的冰箱通过在储冰盒30的盒后壁33和间室后壁21之间形成有供所述储冰盒30向后旋转的旋转空间40,当储冰盒30内物品取完后,储冰盒30上的配重块51驱使储冰盒30向后旋转,储冰盒30自动复位至初始的储存状态,完成自动复位,提升用户使用体验。Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 , the present invention also provides another preferred embodiment. The refrigerator in this embodiment forms a space between the rear wall 33 of the ice storage box 30 and the rear wall 21 of the compartment. The rotation space 40 for the ice storage box 30 to rotate backward, when the items in the ice storage box 30 are taken out, the counterweight 51 on the ice storage box 30 drives the ice storage box 30 to rotate backward, and the ice storage box 30 automatically resets to The initial storage state is automatically reset to improve the user experience.
具体的,所述储冰盒30上设有配重块51,在门体80关闭时,所述配重块51位于转动组件60的后侧。本实施例中,在门体80关闭时,由于储冰盒30上与转动组件60的后侧设有配重块51,从而施加给储冰盒30向后旋转的力,从而减小储冰盒30抵接于冰盒抵接块90的力。另外,当储冰盒30空置时,配重块51还能驱使储冰盒30保持其取放口39所在平面沿水平布置,从而方便储冰盒30储放物品或接冰。Specifically, the ice storage box 30 is provided with a counterweight 51 , and when the door 80 is closed, the counterweight 51 is located on the rear side of the rotating assembly 60 . In this embodiment, when the door 80 is closed, since the ice storage box 30 and the rear side of the rotating assembly 60 are provided with a counterweight 51, a force is exerted on the ice storage box 30 to rotate backward, thereby reducing the ice storage capacity. The box 30 abuts against the ice box abutting block 90 . In addition, when the ice storage box 30 is empty, the counterweight block 51 can also drive the ice storage box 30 to keep the plane where the access opening 39 is positioned horizontally, thereby making it convenient for the ice storage box 30 to store items or receive ice.
其中,在储冰盒30空置时,所述配重块51驱使储冰盒30围绕转动组件60的旋转轴线旋转后,保持取放口39所在平面沿水平布置。当用户对储冰盒30的物品取用完毕后,储冰盒30能够在配重块51的作用下,围绕转动组件60的旋转轴线向后自动旋转,从而保持取放口39所在平面沿水平布置,实现储冰盒30自动复位。When the ice storage box 30 is empty, the counterweight block 51 drives the ice storage box 30 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 60 and keeps the plane where the access opening 39 is arranged horizontally. After the user has finished taking out the items in the ice storage box 30, the ice storage box 30 can automatically rotate backward around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 60 under the action of the counterweight 51, thereby keeping the plane where the access opening 39 is located along the horizontal direction. Arrange to realize the automatic reset of the ice storage box 30.
其中,配重块51驱使储冰盒30在空置状态时向后旋转,结构简单,降低生产成本。另外,配重块51可以是与储冰盒30一体成型。当然,配重块51还可以可拆地固定在储冰盒30上,从而满足不同的使用要求。Among them, the counterweight block 51 drives the ice storage box 30 to rotate backward when it is in an empty state. The structure is simple and the production cost is reduced. In addition, the weight block 51 may be integrally formed with the ice storage box 30 . Of course, the counterweight 51 can also be detachably fixed on the ice storage box 30 to meet different usage requirements.
进一步的,在取放口39所在平面呈水平状态下,所述储冰盒30具有位于转动组件60前侧的前侧部分30a和位于转动组件60后侧的后侧部分30b,所述配重块51是设置于后侧部分30b上。Further, when the plane where the access opening 39 is located is horizontal, the ice storage box 30 has a front part 30a located on the front side of the rotating assembly 60 and a rear part 30b located on the rear side of the rotating assembly 60, and the counterweight The block 51 is provided on the rear side portion 30b.
本实施例中,前侧部分30a和后侧部分30b分别位于转动组件60的前后两侧,当储冰盒30处于空置状态或存放有少量物品时,储冰盒30的前侧部分30a受到向下的重力,而配重块51设置于后侧部分30b上,从而提供给后侧部分30b向下的力,继而抵消前侧部分30a所受重力,达到前侧部分30a和后侧部分30b相对于转动组件60的平衡,保持取放口39所在平面沿水平布置。In this embodiment, the front part 30a and the rear part 30b are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the rotating assembly 60. When the ice storage box 30 is in an empty state or a small amount of items are stored, the front part 30a of the ice storage box 30 is subject to a direction. The weight 51 is arranged on the rear part 30b, thereby providing a downward force to the rear part 30b, and then counteracting the gravity of the front part 30a, so that the front part 30a and the rear part 30b are opposite to each other. Due to the balance of the rotating assembly 60, the plane where the access opening 39 is located is kept to be arranged horizontally.
而且,由于盒后壁33的上下宽度大于盒前壁31的上下宽度,一方面,前侧部分30a相对于后侧部分30b质量更轻,为了保持平衡可将转动组件60后移。这样就能够增加前侧部分30a的活动范围,方便用户对储冰盒30内物品的取放。另一方面, 减小盒前壁31的上下宽度,能够减小盒前壁31对取放物品产生的干涉。Moreover, since the upper and lower width of the box rear wall 33 is greater than the upper and lower width of the box front wall 31, on the one hand, the front side part 30a is lighter in mass than the rear side part 30b, and the rotating assembly 60 can be moved backward in order to maintain balance. In this way, the range of movement of the front part 30a can be increased, making it convenient for the user to pick up and place items in the ice storage box 30. on the other hand, Reducing the upper and lower width of the box front wall 31 can reduce the interference of the box front wall 31 on picking and placing items.
进一步的,所述配重块51设于所述盒后壁33上。本实施例中,配重块51设置在盒后壁33上,从而避免对储冰盒30旋转时产生干涉。当然,配重块51也可以设置在后侧部分30b区域内的其他位置。或者,选用密度较大的材料单独形成盒后壁33,从而不影响整个储冰盒30的外观和内部存储空间。Further, the counterweight block 51 is provided on the rear wall 33 of the box. In this embodiment, the counterweight 51 is disposed on the rear wall 33 of the box to avoid interference with the rotation of the ice storage box 30 . Of course, the counterweight 51 can also be disposed at other positions within the area of the rear portion 30b. Alternatively, a denser material may be used to form the box rear wall 33 separately, thereby not affecting the appearance and internal storage space of the entire ice storage box 30 .
门体80打开后,并且储冰盒30非空置时,所述储冰盒30围绕转动组件60的旋转轴线向前旋转后,抵靠于所述限位凸台70。After the door 80 is opened and the ice storage box 30 is not empty, the ice storage box 30 rotates forward around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 60 and then abuts against the limiting boss 70 .
本实施例中,当储冰盒30内持续地放入物品或冰块时,储冰盒30先是向后旋转,最终储冰盒30能够利用盒后壁33抵靠在间室后壁21上。门体80打开后,进一步增加储冰盒30内的物品和冰块时,或者储冰盒30的后侧部分30b内的物品滚落至前侧部分30a时,此时储冰盒30向前旋转,最终储冰盒30抵靠在限位凸台70,防止储冰盒30进一步地向前旋转。从而防止用户误操作时,储冰盒30旋转过度。In this embodiment, when items or ice cubes are continuously put into the ice storage box 30, the ice storage box 30 first rotates backward, and finally the ice storage box 30 can use the rear wall 33 of the box to abut against the rear wall 21 of the compartment. . After the door 80 is opened, when the items and ice cubes in the ice storage box 30 are further added, or when the items in the rear part 30b of the ice storage box 30 roll down to the front part 30a, the ice storage box 30 moves forward at this time. Rotate, and finally the ice storage box 30 abuts the limiting boss 70 to prevent the ice storage box 30 from further rotating forward. This prevents the ice storage box 30 from excessive rotation when the user mistakenly operates.
具体的,所述限位凸台70位于所述转动组件60的前侧,并于储冰盒30非空置时,支撑于储冰盒30的下方。本实施例中,门体80打开后,储冰盒30向前旋转后,最终能够利用盒底壁37抵靠在限位凸台70上。当然,限位凸台70还可以设置于转动组件60的后侧,从而最终限位凸台70抵靠于盒侧壁35的上端。Specifically, the limiting boss 70 is located on the front side of the rotating assembly 60 and is supported below the ice storage box 30 when the ice storage box 30 is not empty. In this embodiment, after the door 80 is opened and the ice storage box 30 is rotated forward, the bottom wall 37 of the box can finally be used to abut the limiting boss 70 . Of course, the limiting boss 70 can also be disposed on the rear side of the rotating assembly 60 , so that the limiting boss 70 finally abuts the upper end of the box side wall 35 .
