 本发明的最佳实施方式
需要理解的是，这里所使用的术语、公开的具体结构和功能细节，仅仅是为了描述具体实施例，是代表性的，但是本申请可以通过许多替换形式来具体实现，不应被解释成仅受限于这里所阐述的实施例。
下面参考附图和可选的实施例对本申请作详细说明。
如图1至图4所示，作为本申请的一实施例，公开了一种制冰器，包括外壳1、储水盒2和制冰模具3；储水盒2设置在外壳1中，储水盒2形成有储水腔21，制冰模具3上开设有上通孔31和下通孔32；制冰模具3包括第一对合件33、与第一对合件33对合的第二对合件34，第一对合件33上开设有第一开腔331，第二对合件34上开设有第二开腔341；第一对合件33和第二对合件34对合时，第一开腔331和第二开腔341对合形成制冰腔35；上通孔31和下通孔32分别与制冰腔35连通。
第一对合件33和第二对合件34对合后插入到储水腔21中，第一对合件33和第二对合件34在储水腔21中悬空，上通孔31连通外界和制冰腔35，下通孔32连通储水腔21和制冰腔35。其中，第一对合件33和第二对合件34的对合面334朝向储水腔21的侧壁面212。具体地，第一对合件33和第二对合件34与储水腔21的侧壁面212过盈配合，并密封储水腔21。
本申请的制冰器，通过设置储水盒2和制冰模具3，制冰模具3上设置有上通孔31和下通孔32，制冰模具3放置在储水盒2的储水腔21中并悬空，即制冰模具3底部和储水盒2底部之间还有一定的空间。使用时，可以先在储水腔21中注水，然后第一对合件33和第二对合件34对合后插入到储水腔21中，水通过上通孔31和下通孔32流入并充满储水腔21和制冰腔35（当然也可以用其他方式注满水）。冷冻结冰的时候，由于储水盒2有外壳1的隔离，制冰模具3则是直接在储水盒2中外露的，所以制冰腔35中的水比储水腔21中的水更快降温并结冰。由于水中的空气会从低温的地方往高温的地方运动，在降温结冰的过程中，制冰腔35中水的空气会逐渐运动到储水腔21中，最后制冰腔35中冻结成型的冰块没有空气，不存在气泡，通体透明。
更重要的是，水在结冰的时候体积会发生膨胀，申请人发现制冰器对合形成的制冰腔35由于膨胀，制冰模具3存在被撑开或者撑形变的风险，导致制冰腔冰块的形状不规则，得不到想要的形状。本申请的制冰器，第一对合件33和第二对合件34对合后过盈配合地插入到储水腔21中，第一对合件33和第二对合件34的对合面334朝向储水腔21的侧壁面212。这样，尽管制冰腔35中的水在结冰过程中会发生膨胀，但是由于第一对合件33和第二对合件34的对合面334朝向储水腔21的侧壁面212，结冰膨胀时，储水腔21的侧壁面212可以紧紧压住第一对合件33和第二对合件34，从而抵消膨胀力，防止对合的第一对合件33和第二对合件34分开或形变，最终制成冰块的形状规则。
可选地，如图4所示，第一对合件33和第二对合件34的对合面334与储水腔21的侧壁面212平行。本方案中，第一对合件33和第二对合件34的对合面334与储水腔21的侧壁面212平行，第一对合件33和第二对合件34因水结冰膨胀受到的分开的力垂直于储水腔21的侧壁面212，侧壁面212可以更多地抵消掉第一对合件33和第二对合件34的受力，储水腔21侧壁面212压紧的效果更好。
可选地，如图8和图9所示，第一对合件33的对合面334上设置有插接凸起338，第二对合件34的对合面334上设置有插孔342，第一对合件33和第二对合件34对合时，插接凸起338插入到插孔342中。本方案中，插接凸起338和插孔342可以起到初定位的作用，在插入到储水腔21之前，第一对合件33和第二对合件34通过插接凸起338和插孔342配合实现对合并定位，方便第一对合件33和第二对合件34的快速、准确对合，也方便将第一对合件33和第二对合件34插入到储水腔21中，第一对合件33和第二对合件34不容易分离。
可选地，如图8和图9所示，第一对合件33的对合面334上也设置有插孔342，第二对合件34的对合面334上也设置有插接凸起338。本方案中，第一对合件33的对合面334上同时设置有插孔342和插接凸起338，第二对合件34的对合面334上同时设置有插孔342和插接凸起338，定位效果更好。更具体得，对合面334上的插孔342和插接凸起338都可以设置多个。
可选地，如图8和图9所示，第一对合件33的第一开腔331边沿设置第一凸条335和第一下沉槽336；第二对合件34的第二开腔341边沿对应第一凸条335的位置设置有第二下沉槽344，对应第一下沉槽336的位置设置有第二凸条343；第一对合件33和第二对合件34对合时，第一凸条335嵌入在第二下沉槽344中，第二凸条343嵌入在第一下沉槽336中。本方案中，在第一开腔331边沿设置第一凸条335和第一下沉槽336，在第二开腔341边沿对应第一凸条335的位置设置有第二下沉槽344，对应第一下沉槽336的位置设置有第二凸条343，可以进一步起到定位和对合导向的作用，保证第一对合件33和第二对合件34对合效果和快速对合。
可选地，如图4所示，外壳1还包括第一壳体11；储水盒2安装在第一壳体11中，且与第一壳体11形成第一内间隙111，第一内间隙111用于盛装温水或热水。因为制冰模具3插入到储水盒2中后，储水腔21的底部还剩余有空间，储水腔21中最后也会冻结出冰块。这些冰块也是可以正常使用的。但是，冰块一般会紧紧粘附在储水腔21中的内壁面上，难以取下来。本方案中，通过设置第一壳体11，并且储水盒2和第一壳体11存在间隙，即第一内间隙111。第一内间隙111可以注入温水或热水，加速与储水腔21内壁面粘附的冰块的融化，从而使得储水腔21中的冰块可以非常容易地取出。并且，在冷冻的过程中，第一壳体11不与储水盒2贴合，第一内间隙111还可以起到一定的隔温效果，进一步拉大制冰腔35中的水和储水腔21中的水的降温速度差，制冰腔35中水的空气有更充足的时间运动到储水腔21中，保证制冰腔35中的冰块通体透明。
制冰腔35和储水腔21的形状可以根据需要制成的冰块的形状设置。例如可以设置成立方体形状或者球形等。
可选地，如图4所示，外壳1还包括第二壳体12；第一壳体11安装在第二壳体12中，且与第一壳体11形成第二内间隙121，第二内间隙121用于设置保温层。本方案中，第二内间隙121可以设置保温层，减缓制冰器中冰块的融化速度，有利冰块的长时间保持，方便外出携带等。并且，在冷冻的过程中，第二内间隙121也可以起到一定的隔温效果，进一步拉大制冰腔35中的水和储水腔21中的水的降温速度差，制冰腔35中水的空气有更充足的时间运动到储水腔21中，保证制冰腔35中的冰块通体透明。
具体地，储水盒2、第一壳体11和第二壳体12之间可以是可拆卸连接，方便在第一内间隙111装入温水或热水，方便在第二内间隙121放入保温层或更换保温层。
可选地，制冰器还包括保温层（未图示），保温层设置在第二内间隙121中，减缓制冰器中冰块的融化速度。
可选地，如图5所示，第一开腔331至少有两个，第二开腔341至少有两个；至少两个第一开腔331相对于储水腔21水平排列，至少两个第二开腔341相对于储水腔21水平排列。本方案中，第一开腔331和第二开腔341水平相对于储水腔21水平排列，每个第一开腔331和第二开腔341的都可以同时受冷，结冰速度相近，可以提高整体结冰速度。而如果第一开腔331和第二开腔341相对于储水腔21竖直排列，在上方的第一开腔331会先受冷，最终的结冰速度自上至下依次变慢，整体结冰速度变慢。
可选地，如图5所示，储水盒2中形成的储水腔21至少有两个，制冰模具3数量与储水腔21数量相同；相邻的储水腔21之间设置有隔板23，隔板23上开设有过水开口231。本方案中，在往储水腔21注水的时候，通过过水开口231连通各储水腔21，方便水从当前的注水的储水腔21中流到其他储水腔21，注水方便。
如图4和图7所示，储水腔21内壁面形成有第一阶梯面22，第一对合件33和第二对合件34的底部设置有凸块333，凸块333与第一对合件33和第二对合件34的边沿形成第二阶梯面332。第一阶梯面22与第二阶梯面332配合，以抵挡第二阶梯面332，且凸块333相对于第一阶梯面22下伸。本方案中，第一阶梯面22和第二阶梯面332的配合可以承托住第一对合件33和第二对合件34。更重要的是，由于第一阶梯面22的承托，并凸块333相对于第一阶梯面22下伸，使得储水腔21中的水面低于第一阶梯面22一定距离，储水腔21中的水结冰膨胀后水面上升，也不会高于第一阶梯面22向两边漫出，最终储水腔21中形成的冰块形状规则。
可选地，如图8所示，第一开腔331至少有两个，第二开腔341至少有两个；储水腔21中设置有至少两个子腔室213，子腔室213的数量与第一开腔331数量相同，且位置与制冰腔35对应。本方案中，第一开腔331、第二开腔341和子腔室213都至少有两个，一次制得的冰块数量多。
可选地，如图8所示，第一对合件33上设置有第一提手部337，第二对合件34上设置有第二提手部345，第一提手部337和第二提手部345对合形成提手。本方案中，提手可以方便使用者将制冰模具3插入到储水腔21中，也可以方便使用者将制冰模具3从储水腔21中抽出。
以上内容是结合具体的可选实施方式对本申请所作的进一步详细说明，不能认定本申请的具体实施只局限于这些说明。对于本申请所属技术领域的普通技术人员来说，在不脱离本申请构思的前提下，还可以做出若干简单推演或替换，都应当视为属于本申请的保护范围。
