In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 11, the plurality of cavities are connected to each other by water holes 302, so that water injected into the cavities can circulate in the cavities, thereby making the amount of water in each cavity tend to be even and ensuring that the weight difference of the ice cubes is small.
In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 11, the water inlet 301 is annular, preferably funnel-shaped, formed in the first mold portion 310 or the second mold portion 320. This application becomes the form of independent molding in one of them mould portion with the mode of water inlet 301 from two halves compound dies, and water leaks outside to the die cavity from the joint line department of water filling port 301 when can avoiding the water injection, causes the mould to glue, and first mould portion 310 separately causes the difficulty with second mould portion 320 when giving follow-up drawing of patterns, leads to the drawing of patterns process not smooth and easy. And because the single water injection amount is constant during ice making, if water is leaked during water injection, the amount of water entering the die cavity is reduced, the produced ice blocks are smaller than preset, and the integrity of the ice blocks is reduced. And adopt the annular water inlet 301 of this application, can avoid leaking to can guarantee the integrity of ice-cube better.
In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 11, the cavity (first cavity) edge of the first mold part 310 is provided with a first mating portion (not shown) and the cavity (second cavity) edge of the second mold part 320 is provided with a second mating portion 322 adapted to the first mating portion. One of the first combining portion and the second combining portion 322 is a rib, and the other is a groove. The setting can improve the die assembly attaching degree of the first die part 310 and the second die part 320, and effectively avoids the phenomenon that the appearance of ice blocks is irregular due to the fact that the ice blocks have flanges at the die assembly lines, and the appearance of the ice blocks is affected.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
