In addition, term " first ", " second " only are used to describe purpose, and can not be interpreted as indication or hint relative importance.
In description of the invention, need to prove that only if clear and definite regulation and qualification are arranged in addition, term " installation ", " linking to each other ", " connection " should be done broad understanding, for example, can be to be fixedly connected, connect integratedly, also can be to removably connect; Can be mechanical connection or electrical connection, also can be the connection of two element internals; Can be directly to link to each other, also can link to each other indirectly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, can understand the concrete implication of above-mentioned term as the case may be through intermediary.
Describe Icemaker assembly with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail according to the embodiment of the invention.
Shown in Fig. 1-4, the Icemaker assembly according to the embodiment of the invention comprises: cold storage box 10, ice making box 20 and agent for storage of coldness (not shown).
Specifically, cold storage box 10 is formed with the framework of opening for top (being the direction that makes progress as shown in fig. 1).
The upper surface of ice making box 20 (being the surface of the outside direction of surface that makes progress as shown in Figure 1 or vertical as shown in Figure 3 paper) is provided with a plurality of ice boxes 21, and ice making box 20 links to each other with cold storage box 10.The opening of ice making box 20 sealing cold storage boxes 10 is to limit the container cavity 11 that is positioned at below the ice making box 20 in cold storage box 10.
Said agent for storage of coldness is full of container cavity 11.
According to the Icemaker assembly of the embodiment of the invention, cold storage box 10 links to each other with ice making box 20 and forms airtight container cavity 11, and accommodates agent for storage of coldness in the container cavity 11.Thus, can be before ice making the precooling agent for storage of coldness, be convenient to make in the ice-making process agent for storage of coldness speed to pass to the ice box refrigeration with ice making, simultaneously, increased the refrigeration area of ice box, realize the purpose of rapid ice making, simple in structure, be user-friendly to.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, cold storage box 10 is the metal cold storage box, for example can be stainless steel, aluminium or aluminium alloy cold storage box, and ice making box 20 is the metal ice making box, for example can be stainless steel, aluminium or aluminium alloy ice making box.Thus, utilize the metal heat-conducting coefficient high, characteristic such as heat conductivility is good makes the heat of agent for storage of coldness can pass to ice box 21 fast, has further improved ice making speed.
According to examples more of the present invention, cold storage box 10 is integrally formed with ice making box 20.Thus, reduced assembling element, made convenient for productionly, improved production efficiency and product percent of pass, made container cavity 11 favorable sealing properties, agent for storage of coldness is sealed in the container cavity 11, convenient transportation and user's use.
According to an example of the present invention, cold storage box 10 is roughly the cuboid cold storage box.Thus, make production and processing convenient, be convenient to transportation and use.Simultaneously, the cold storage box of cuboid takes up room little, has improved space availability ratio.
According to a particular embodiment of the invention; A plurality of ice boxes 21 of ice making box 20 along left and right directions (be about as shown in fig. 1 direction or as shown in Figure 3 about direction) separation becomes four row, a plurality of ice boxes 21 of ice making box 20 become two row along fore-and-aft direction (being the direction of front and back as shown in fig. 1 or direction up and down as shown in Figure 3) separation.Thus, increased the ice cube quantity of an ice making, made the user produce the ice cube that needs quantity as required fast, be user-friendly to.
According to an example of the present invention, each ice box 21 all is inverted pyramid shape substantially.Thus, make simple in structurely, deice conveniently.
According to a particular embodiment of the invention, said agent for storage of coldness is an alcohol.Said agent for storage of coldness has higher specific heat capacity, and it is liquid to-18 ℃ of maintenances in room temperature, and said agent for storage of coldness can be other agent for storage of coldness that meets the demands.Thus, make agent for storage of coldness have bigger specific heat capacity, make that Icemaker assembly can absorb more heat in the precooling process, reduce the ice making time, improved the efficient and the speed of ice making, easy to use.
According to the Icemaker assembly of the embodiment of the invention, accommodate agent for storage of coldness in the container cavity 11, agent for storage of coldness keeps liquid at low temperatures.Before the ice making, Icemaker assembly places in the refrigerator with precooling.When the needs ice making, in ice box, add the water of scheduled volume, put into refrigerator.Because the effect of agent for storage of coldness, ice box has bigger refrigeration area, and the specific heat capacity of liquid agent for storage of coldness is bigger, has increased ice making speed greatly.
Describe refrigerator below in detail according to second aspect present invention embodiment.
According to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the invention, comprise the casing (not shown), door body (not shown) and Icemaker assembly
Specifically, be limited with chamber (not shown) between refrigeration in the said casing.
Said door body is pivotably mounted on the said casing to open and close chamber between said refrigeration.
Said Icemaker assembly is the described Icemaker assembly of previous embodiment according to the present invention, and said Icemaker assembly is located between said refrigeration indoor.
According to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the invention, indoorly between refrigeration be provided with the described Icemaker assembly of previous embodiment according to the present invention.Thus, can realize rapid ice making, increase the function of refrigerator, be user-friendly to, make and design hommization more and multifunction.
