Alternatively, the water injection valve 700 is closed each time it is opened for a period of time (e.g., 10S, 25S, 45S, etc.) to ensure that the ice making module 300 receives sufficient water without overflowing.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the ice making module 300 includes a housing 310, an ice making mold 320, a water storage case 330, a motor 340 as a driving means, and an optional heating member 350. Wherein, the base 310 is fixedly connected with the case 100; the ice making mold 320 is fixedly connected with the water storage box 330 and is disposed above the water storage box 330; the water storage box 330 is pivotally connected with the base 310; the motor 340 is fixedly connected with the base 310 and is in driving connection with the water storage box 330, so that the motor 340 drives the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 to rotate, and ice cubes in the ice making mold 320 are poured out. The heating member 350 is disposed between the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330, and is used to heat the ice making mold 320 to melt the area where the ice cubes contact the ice making mold 320, thereby enabling the ice cubes to be smoothly separated from the ice making mold 320 when the ice making mold 320 is turned to the dumping position.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the water storage cartridge 330 includes a cartridge body 331 and rotating shafts 332 provided at opposite sides of the cartridge body 331, one of the two rotating shafts 332 is rotatably connected with the base body 310, and the other of the two rotating shafts 332 is drivingly connected with the motor 340. Specifically, the other of the two shafts 332 is fixedly connected coaxially with the driving shaft of the motor 340.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the ice making mold 320 may be pivotally connected to the base 310 as required by those skilled in the art, while ensuring that the motor 340 can drive the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 to rotate.

As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the ice making mold 320 is provided with a first fixing hole (not labeled in the drawing) perforated in a horizontal direction, and the top of the case 331 is provided with a second fixing hole corresponding to the first fixing hole. Preferably, the second fixing hole is a screw hole such that a screw or bolt passes through the first fixing hole and is screwed together with the second fixing hole, thereby fixing the ice making mold 320 with the water storage case 330.

In addition, those skilled in the art may also fixedly connect the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 together in any other possible structure or connection manner, for example, by clamping or welding the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 together, as required.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, the ice making mold 320 is provided with a plurality of water permeable columns 321 extending downward, and the top of the case 331 is provided with a plurality of escape holes 3311, and the number of the escape holes 3311 is equal to that of the water permeable columns 321 and corresponds to one. Further, each water permeable column 321 is formed with a water permeable hole 3211.

As shown in fig. 7, in the assembled state, the water permeable post 321 is inserted into the escape hole 3311, and thus the ice making mold 320 is communicated with the water storage case 330. Further, the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 are abutted together in a sealed manner to prevent water in the water storage box 330 from leaking from the escape hole 3311 between the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the water permeable column 321 may be provided in any other possible structure, such as a block with water permeable holes 3211 formed, as required by those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the person skilled in the art may omit the water penetration column 321 as required, and form the water penetration holes 3211 on the bottom wall of the ice making mold 320.

As shown in fig. 4, 5 and 7, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the ice making module 300 further includes a valve body 361 and an end cap 362 having a water passing hole. The valve body 361 is configured to open the water penetration holes 3211 (as shown by one valve body 361 on the right side in fig. 7) when the ice making mold 320 is in the initial position, and to close the water penetration holes 3211 (as shown by one valve body 361 on the left side in fig. 7) when the ice making mold 320 is in the pouring position. The end cap 362 is installed at a side of the water penetration hole 3211 remote from the ice making mold 320 to prevent the valve body 361 from being withdrawn from the water penetration hole 3211.

As can be seen in fig. 7, the water permeable post 321 is configured as a tapered post such that the water permeable aperture 3211 therein is defined as a tapered aperture, and the large mouth end of the tapered aperture is located on the side of the tapered aperture remote from the ice making mold 320. Accordingly, the valve body 361 is also provided as a tapered column, and the large diameter end of the tapered column is located at a side of the tapered hole away from the ice making mold 320.

As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, such a configuration of the water penetration holes 3211 and the valve body 361 ensures that the valve body 361 can block the water penetration holes 3211. Accordingly, the person skilled in the art may set the water penetration holes 3211 and the valve body 361 to any other possible form, for example, set the valve body 361 to a sphere, as required, while ensuring that the valve body 361 can block the water penetration holes 3211.

Preferably, the valve body 361 is provided as a flat cone, and the flat direction of the valve body 361 is perpendicular to the rotation shaft 332 of the water storage cartridge 330 to reduce resistance when the valve body 361 slides.

Further, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the valve body 361 is configured to receive buoyancy force of water greater than gravity force received by the valve body so that the valve body 361 can open the water penetration holes 3211 under the action of gravity force when the ice making mold 320 is in the initial position (horizontal posture); the ice making mold 320 slides to a position closing the water penetration holes 3211 by gravity when it is in a dumping position (e.g., flipped 45 ° or 90 ° from an initial position). For example, the valve body 361 is a structure made of metal.

As shown in fig. 4 to 6 and 8, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the water storage cartridge 330 further includes a pressure equalizing column 333 disposed above the cartridge body 331, and a pressure equalizing hole 3331 is formed in the pressure equalizing column 333, and the pressure equalizing hole 3331 is configured as a tapered hole, a small opening end of which is located at a side of the tapered hole remote from the water storage cartridge 330. Further, the ice making module 300 further includes a pressure equalizing member 371 for opening or closing the pressure equalizing hole 3331.

Preferably, the pressure equalizing member 371 is also provided as a tapered post, and the small diameter end of the tapered post is located on the side of the tapered hole remote from the water storage cartridge 330.

Furthermore, those skilled in the art may also arrange the spreader 371 in any other possible configuration, such as arranging the spreader 371 as a tapered column as a sphere, as desired.

In addition, in other embodiments of the present utility model, the pressure equalization column 333 may be provided in any other possible configuration, such as a block in which the pressure equalization column 333 is formed, as desired by those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the pressure equalization column 333 may be omitted and the pressure equalization holes 3331 may be formed in the sidewall of the case 331 as needed by those skilled in the art.

Further, although not shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the ice making module 300 further includes a stopper structure provided in the pressure equalizing hole 3331 for preventing the pressure equalizing piece 371 from being pulled out of the pressure equalizing hole 3331 from the large mouth end of the pressure equalizing hole 3331. The pressure equalizing member 371 may have the same or similar structure as the end cap 362, or may have a flange formed at the bottom of the pressure equalizing hole 3331 and protruding inward in the radial direction of the pressure equalizing hole 3331. Wherein, flange and pressure equalization piece 371 interference fit, when upwards extruding pressure equalization piece 371 from the bottom of pressure equalization hole 3331, can make pressure equalization piece 371 scratch the flange to get into pressure equalization hole 3331.

Still further, the height of the top end of the pressure equalizing hole 3331 is not lower than the highest water level in the ice making mold 320, and the pressure equalizing member 371 is configured to receive buoyancy of water in the pressure equalizing hole 3331 less than its gravity so that the pressure equalizing member 371 can open the pressure equalizing hole 3331 under the action of gravity when the water storage case 330 is in the initial position (horizontal posture), and slide to a position closing the pressure equalizing hole 3331 under the action of gravity when the water storage case 330 is in the dumping position (e.g., flipped 45 ° or 90 ° from the initial position). For example, the pressure equalizer 371 is a structure made of metal.

When water is injected into the ice making mold 320, the pressure equalizing member 371 always abuts against the stop structure at the bottom of the pressure equalizing hole 3331, and opens the pressure equalizing hole 3331.

Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art may subject the pressure equalization member 371 to a buoyancy force of the water within the pressure equalization holes 3331 that is greater than its gravity force, as desired. For example, the pressure equalizer 371 is a structure made of plastic, foam, or wood.

When water is injected into the ice making mold 320, the pressure equalizing piece 371 floats upwards along with the liquid level of the water in the pressure equalizing hole 3331 until the pressure equalizing piece floats upwards to a position for blocking the pressure equalizing hole 3331, and does not continuously float upwards along with the liquid level of the water in the pressure equalizing hole 3331. When the ice making mold 320 is turned to the dumping position, under the action of inertia and because the small diameter end of the pressure equalizing member 371 is in contact with air, the circumferential surface of the pressure equalizing member 371 is in abutment with the inner circumferential surface of the pressure equalizing hole 3331, so the pressure equalizing member 371 will continue to block the pressure equalizing hole 3331.

Further, although not shown in the drawings, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the ice making module 300 further includes a heat insulation member for insulating the bottom of the ice making mold 320 and the water storage bin 330. Preferably, the heat insulating member includes side walls and a bottom wall such that the heat insulating member forms a housing having a top opening, and the heat insulating member is abutted with the water storage box 330 and the ice making mold 320, respectively, through the inner surfaces thereof. In other words, the insulating member is a member having a top opening.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the water in the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 is cooled down from top to bottom by the heat insulating member. The reason for this is that the water in the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 is in contact with the low temperature air in the first storage area 101 only through the opening on the ice making mold 320, thus causing the water in the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330 to be cooled from top to bottom and thus frozen from top to bottom.

Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, since the dissolved gas in the water decreases with the decrease of the temperature, the gas is separated from the water from top to bottom during the freezing process of the water in the ice making mold 320, and is further driven into the water storage box 330, thereby effectively reducing the gas content in the ice cubes and improving the transparency of the ice cubes.

Preferably, the refrigerator of the present utility model is an air-cooled refrigerator, and the cool air outlet on the side wall (rear side wall, left side plate or right side wall) of the first storage area 101 is located above the ice making mold 320 to ensure that water in the ice making mold 320 is frozen from top to bottom.

The operation of the ice making module 300 according to some embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail.

When ice making is required, the water injection valve 700 is opened so that the water injection pipe 600 guides water in the water reservoir 400 into the ice making mold 320. In this process, water in the ice making mold 320 enters the water storage box 330 through the water permeable holes 3211, and air in the water storage box 330 is discharged from the pressure equalizing holes 3331 to equalize air pressures at both inner and outer sides of the water storage box 330, so that water in the ice making mold 320 smoothly flows into the water storage box 330. After the water injection is completed, the water in the ice making mold 320 is frozen from top to bottom by the cooling capacity in the first storage area 101, and thus the gas in the ice making mold 320 is driven into the water storage box 330. When the ice making is finished, the heating member 350 heats the ice cubes inside the ice making mold 320, and thus melts the portions of the ice cubes contacting the ice making mold 320. The motor 340 then drives the ice-making mold 320 and the water storage bin 330 to rotate to the dumping position, causing the ice cubes within the ice-making mold 320 to fall into the ice storage bin 500. In the process of overturning the ice making mold 320 and the water storage box 330, the valve body 361 can block the water permeable hole 3211 to prevent water in the water storage box 330 from flowing out of the water permeable hole 3211; the pressure equalizing member 371 may block the pressure equalizing hole 3331 to prevent water in the water storage cartridge 330 from flowing out of the pressure equalizing hole 3331.

Further, in order to enhance the heating efficiency of the heating member 350 for the ice cubes, one skilled in the art may abut the heating member 350 against the bottom wall of the ice making mold 320 as needed.

Based on the foregoing description, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the refrigerator in some embodiments of the present utility model can freeze water in the ice making mold 320 from top to bottom, thereby freezing water in the ice making mold 320 from top to bottom, and thus separating gas in the water from top to bottom, to be driven into the water storage box 330. Therefore, the refrigerator in some embodiments of the utility model can effectively reduce the content of gas in ice cubes, thereby improving the transparency of the ice cubes.

As shown in fig. 9, in still other embodiments of the present utility model, unlike some of the previously described embodiments, the ice making module 300 further includes a spring 363 disposed between the end cap 362 and the valve body 361, the spring 363 serving to provide the valve body 361 with elastic force near the ice making mold 320. Further, the sum of the elastic force and the buoyancy force received by the valve body 361 is smaller than the gravity force of the valve body 361 in the vertical direction.

Preferably, the ratio of the elastic force to the gravitational force ranges from cos (15 °) to cos (45 °). In other words, the ratio of the elastic force to the gravity force is cos β, and β has a value ranging from 15 ° to 45 ° (e.g., 15 °, 18 °, 20 °, 25 °, 30 °, 40 °, 45 °, etc.), so that the spring 363 can drive the valve body 361 in fig. 9 to move upward when the ice making mold 320 rotates by β, thereby blocking the water permeable hole 3211 and preventing the water in the water storage box 330 from flowing out of the water permeable hole 3211.

As shown in fig. 10, in other embodiments of the present utility model, unlike some of the previously described embodiments, the ice making module 300 further includes an electromagnetic coil 364 provided on the water storage box 330 or the ice making mold 320, and the valve body 361 is configured to be moved to a position to close the water penetration holes 3211 by a magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil 364. The valve body 361 may be a metal block or an iron block.

Specifically, when the motor 340 drives the ice making mold 320 to rotate, the electromagnetic coil 364 is energized to generate a magnetic force acting on the valve body 361, so that the valve body 361 in fig. 10 moves upward to a position blocking the water permeable hole 3211 under the action of the magnetic force, and water in the water storage box 330 is prevented from flowing out of the water permeable hole 3211.

Further, those skilled in the art may wind an electromagnetic coil around the outside of the pressure equalizing column 333 as needed; and the pressure equalizing member 371 is arranged to move to a position closing the pressure equalizing hole 3331 by a magnetic force generated from the electromagnetic coil. That is, the pressure equalizer 371 is provided as a metal block or an iron block. Then, when the motor 340 drives the ice making mold 320 to rotate, the electromagnetic coil is energized to generate magnetic force acting on the pressure equalizing member 371, so that the pressure equalizing member 371 moves to a position blocking the pressure equalizing hole 3331 under the action of the magnetic force, and water in the water storage box 330 is prevented from flowing out of the pressure equalizing hole 3331.

Further, the first storage area 101 and the second storage area 102 described in any of the previous embodiments may be formed on the door body 200, that is, the ice making module 300, the water storage tank 400, and the ice bank 500 may be disposed on the door body 200 of the refrigerator, as required by those skilled in the art.
