定义冰箱1使用时面向用户的一侧为前侧，与之相反的一侧为后侧。
在一些实施例中，参照图1和图2，冰箱1包括：箱体10，冷空气供应装置20以及门体30。箱体10包括储藏室，冷空气供应装置20被配置为冷却储藏室；门体30被配置为打开和关闭储藏室。
冷空气供应装置20通过与箱体10的外部进行热交换来冷却储藏室。如图2所示，冷空气供应装置20包括压缩机21、冷凝器22、膨胀装置23和蒸发器24，并使制冷剂以压缩机21、冷凝器22、膨胀装置23、蒸发器24、压缩机21的顺序循环来冷却储藏室。
例如，蒸发器24可以设置为与储藏室的外壁接触，以直接冷却储藏室。在一些实施例中，冷空气供应装置20还可以包括循环风扇，以通过蒸发器24和所述循环风扇来循环储藏室中的空气。
箱体10包括沿高度方向设在箱体10中部位置处的横向分隔板11，横向分隔板11沿图1中的左右方向延伸。横向分隔板11的大致位置参照图1中的虚线框所示，高度方向参照图1中的上下方向。储藏室被横向分隔板11分隔成上部储藏室12和下部储藏室13。在一些实施例中，上部储藏室12用作以冷冻模式储藏食物的冷冻室，下部储藏室13用作以冷藏模式储藏食物的冷藏室。
此外，冰箱1还可以包括制冰机1001，使得该冰箱1具有制冰功能，通过制冰机1001可以为用户提供冰块或冰水。在一些实施例中，制冰机1001直接设于冷冻室内，此时冷冻室即为制冰腔室，图1中示出了制冰机1001设于上部储藏室12(即冷冻室)的示例。或者，在冷藏室或冷冻室内通过绝热板限定出独立的制冰腔室，将制冰机1001设于制冰腔室内。
门体30可枢转地与箱体10相连，以旋转打开或者关闭储藏室。例如， 门体30可以被铰接在箱体10的前端。图1中示出了四个门体30。
参见图3，制冰机1001包括基座100、模壳400(包括壳体200和模体300)和驱动机构500。
参见图4，基座100被配置为与所述制冰腔室连接。基座100包括多个侧板。例如，所述多个侧板包括上侧板101、左侧板102、右侧板103、前侧板104和后侧板。左侧板102和右侧板103在左右方向上相对，前侧板104和所述后侧板在前后方向上相对，上侧板101位于左侧板102、右侧板103、前侧板104和所述后侧板的上部。本公开的一些实施例中所提及的上、前、后、左、右方向均是为了清楚描述结构而定义，实际设置中，并不限于以图4所示的前后方向设于制冰腔室内。
在一些实施例中，如图6所示，模壳400包括第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402，第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402在分离状态和合拢状态之间可转换。在所述合拢状态第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402围成模腔，所述模腔的形状即为冰块的形状，所述模腔的形状可根据用户的需求适应性设计。例如，所述模腔可设计成球形、钻石面球形或多面体形等。
在一些实施例中，第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中的一个固定，且第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中的另一个可运动，以使第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402在分离状态和合拢状态之间可转换。在所述分离状态，第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中可运动的一个朝远离被固定的另一个运动；在所述合拢状态，第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中可运动的一个朝靠近被固定的另一个运动至二者合拢。
例如，可以是第一子模壳401固定不动，第二子模壳402相对第一子模壳401可运动；也可以是第二子模壳402固定不动，第一子模壳401相对第二子模壳402可运动。图4、图8和图9示出了第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402处于合拢状态，图5和图10示出了第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402处于分离状态。
当然，在一些实施例中，也可以是第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402均可运动。
模壳400包括更多个子模壳的方案与上述模壳400包括第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402的方案类似，在此不再赘述。
为了便于叙述，本公开的一些实施例主要以第二子模壳402固定不动，第一子模壳401相对第二子模壳402可运动为例进行描述，然而，这并不能理解为对本公开的限制。
在一些实施例中，模壳400包括壳体200和模体300。
参见图3和图6，壳体200包括相对设置的第一壳部210和第二壳部220。例如，第一壳部210和第二壳部220在图6中所示的MN方向上相对设置，第一壳部210位于壳体200的M侧，第二壳部220位于壳体200的N侧，MN方向对应壳体200的左右方向。第一壳部210的内壁包括第一内腔，第二壳部220的内壁包括第二内腔2201(参照图6)，所述第一内腔与第二内腔2201相对设置，所述第一内腔与第二内腔2201可采用类似的结构。第一壳部210和第二壳部220在分离状态和合拢状态之间可转换，在所述合拢状态第一壳部210和第二壳部220合拢围成内腔，所述内腔由第一内腔和第二内腔2201共同限定出。
参见图6，模体300设于内腔中，模体300包括第一模部310和第二模部320。第一模部310与第一壳部210相连以使第一模部310跟随第一壳部210运动。例如，第一模部310贴设于第一壳部210的第一内腔中，第一模部310包括第一凹腔，所述第一凹腔位于第一模部310的朝向第二模部320的一侧。第二模部320与第二壳部220相连以使第二模部320相对第二壳部220固定。例如，第二模部320贴设于第二壳部220的第二内腔中，第二模部320包括第二凹腔3201(参照图13)，第二凹腔3201位于第二模部320的朝向第一模部310的一侧。第一模部310和第二模部320在分离状态和合拢状态之间可转换，在所述合拢状态第一模部310和第二模部320合拢围成模腔，所述模腔由所述第一凹腔和第二凹腔3201共同限定出。
在一些实施例中，参见图6和图13，第一模部310的第一凹腔的边缘包括第一结合部，第二模部320的第二凹腔3201的边缘包括第二结合部322(参照图13)，第二结合部322被配置为与所述第一结合部相适配。
例如，所述第一结合部与第二结合部322中的一个为凸筋，且所述第一结合部与第二结合部322中的另一个为凹槽，所述凹槽与所述凸筋相适配。这样通过所述第一结合部与第二结合部322的相互配合，利于提高第一模部310与第二模部320的合模贴合度，提高冰块外观的美观度，从而可以有效避免冰块在第一模部310和第二模部320的结合处出现凸缘而导致冰块外形不规整，影响冰块外观的美观度的情况。
在一些实施例中，第一模部310或第二模部320中的至少一个被配置为可在外力作用下发生形变。例如，第一模部310和第二模部320均为食品级硅胶件。
参见6和图12，模体300包括与模腔相连通的进水口301，基座100的 上侧板101的与进水口301相对应的位置处包括开孔1011(参照图8)，外部水管适于穿过所述开孔1011与进水口301相连以向模腔内注水。例如，开孔1011形成为沿厚度方向贯穿上侧板101设置的矩形通孔等。
在一些实施例中，模体300包括多个模腔，图12中示出了模体300包括三个模腔的示例，每个模腔均包括一个进水口301。壳体200的上方包括水槽600，水槽600包括与各进水口301相对应的分水口601，分水口601处包括与进水口301连通的分水管602。参见图4，水槽600固定于基座100上，上侧板101的与水槽600相对应的位置处包括开孔1011(参照图8)。多模腔的设置可增加制冰机1001的单次制冰量，设置带分水口601的水槽600有助于提高注水效率，从而能够有效提高制冰效率。
在一些实施例中，参见图13，多个模腔之间通过通水孔302相连通。例如，图13中的模体300包括三个模腔，相邻两个模腔之间通过通水孔302相连通，使得注入模腔内的水可在不同模腔中流通，从而使各模腔内的水量趋于平均，利于减小制得的冰块的重量差异。
在一些实施例中，进水口301形成为分体式结构。例如，如图6所示，第一模部310的顶部包括第一凹部311，第二模部320的顶部包括第二凹部321，当第一模部310与第二模部320处于所述合拢状态时，第一凹部311与第二凹部312合拢形成所述进水口301。
由于制造误差的存在，在注水时分体式结构的进水口301有可能会出现漏水现象。由于制冰时单次的注水量是恒定的，若注水时漏水，则进入到模腔中的水量减少，制出的冰块重量将会小于预设的冰块重量，导致冰块的完整度降低。
在一些实施例中，进水口301形成为一体式结构。参见图13，进水口301形成为封闭形状。例如，进水口301的结构形成为环形结构，所述环形结构的内侧限定有所述进水口301，图13中示出了进水口301为漏斗形的示例。通过封闭形状的进水口301，可避免漏水，从而能够更好地保证冰块的完整度。
可以理解的是，如果进水口301的一半位于第一模部310中，进水口301的另一半位于第二模部320中，注水时水若从注水口301的第一模部310和第二模部320的结合处漏出至模腔外，漏出的水结冰后会造成模具黏连，给后续脱模时第一模部310与第二模部320的分离造成困难，导致脱模过程不顺畅。
在一些实施例中，进水口301成型于第一模部310或第二模部320上。图13中示出了进水口301成型于第二模部320上，进水口301与第二模部320 为一体件的示例；当然，在一些实施例中，也可以是进水口301成型于第一模部310上，进水口301与第一模部310为一体件。由此，通过将进水口301从两半合模的方式变成单独成型于第一模部310或第二模部320上的形式，可以降低脱模难度，提高脱模的顺畅性。
参见图6，第一壳部210包括第一凹槽211，第一凹槽211位于第一壳部210的靠近第二壳部220的一侧；第二壳部220包括第二凹槽221，第二凹槽221位于第二壳部220的靠近第一壳部210的一侧。第一壳部210与第二壳部220处于所述合拢状态时，第一凹槽211和第二凹槽221合拢形成围合在进水口301外周的避让口，进水口301位于所述避让口内。
如图6所示，第一子模壳401包括第一壳部210和第一模部310。制冰机1001包括第一顶杆410或第二顶杆420中的至少一个。第一顶杆410或第二顶杆420与模腔一一对应设置。
第一顶杆410位于第一壳部210的背离第二壳部220的第一预定距离，第一顶杆410固定于左侧板102上。第一壳部210包括第一通孔212，第一通孔212与第一顶杆410相匹配。例如，图6中第一壳部210包括第一通孔212，第一壳部210的M侧第一预定距离包括第一顶杆410，图5中第一顶杆410穿过通孔212。
制冰机1001还包括第二顶杆420，第二顶杆420位于第二壳部220背离第一壳部210的第二预定距离，第二壳部220包括第二通孔222(参照图4)，第二通孔222与第二顶杆420相匹配。
在一些实施例中，参见图6，第一顶杆410的邻近第一模部310的一侧端面与第一模部310的第一凹腔的轮廓面相匹配，第二顶杆420的邻近第二模部320的一侧端面与第二模部320的第二凹腔的轮廓面相匹配。由此，便于第一顶杆410更贴服地顶向第一模部310，以使第一模部310发生有效变形，第二顶杆420更贴服地顶向第二模部320，以使第二模部320发生有效变形，从而使第一模部310和第二模部320内的冰块脱模。
驱动机构500被配置为驱动第一子模壳401运动，第二子模壳402固定不动。例如，驱动机构500被配置为驱动第一壳部210运动，以使第一壳部210与固定不动的第二壳部220分离或合拢，第一模部310跟随第一壳部210运动，第二模部320相对第二壳部220固定不动。
在一些实施例中，制冰机1001还包括连杆组件700，第一顶杆410固定不动，第二顶杆420通过连杆组件700与第一壳部210联动。图4中第一壳部210和第二壳部220处于合拢状态，图5中第一壳部210和第二壳部220 处于分离状态。
实际制冰过程中，当第一壳部210与第二壳部220分离时，冰块有可能粘附在第一模部310或第二模部320内，在一些实施例中，脱模时，驱动机构500驱动第一壳部210运动至预定位置，第一顶杆410穿过第一通孔212顶向第一模部310，使第一模部310受力变形。由于第二顶杆420通过连杆组件700与第一壳部210联动，使得通过第一壳部210的运动可以带动第二顶杆420运动，第二顶杆420穿过第二通孔222顶向第二模部320，使第二模部320受力变形。
例如，如图5所示，驱动机构500驱动第一壳部210朝向第一顶杆410运动至预定位置，以使第一顶杆410穿过第一通孔212顶向第一模部310，使第一模部310受力变形，第一模部310中的冰块脱模。并且，第一壳部210通过连杆组件700带动第二顶杆420朝向第二通孔222运动，以使第二顶杆420穿过第二通孔222顶向第二模部320，使第二模部320受力变形，第二模部320中的冰块脱模。由此，可将位于第一模部310或第二模部320内的冰块均顶出，使冰块掉落到冰箱1的储冰盒中，供用户取用，膜模效果较好。
本公开的一些实施例的冰箱1，包括制冰机1001，制冰机1001的制冰格包括第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402，第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中的一个固定，且第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中的另一个可运动，以使第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402在分离状态和合拢状态之间可转换，制冰机1001适用于制造需要合模配合才能形成的特殊形状冰块，例如球形冰块或多面体冰块等。
并且，第一子模壳401可运动，且第一子模壳401的背离第二子模壳402的一侧包括固定的第一顶杆410，第二子模壳402固定不动，且第二子模壳402的背离第一子模壳401的一侧包括第二顶杆420，第二顶杆420通过连杆组件700与第一子模壳401联动。脱模时，第一子模壳401运动至预定位置，第一顶杆410可将第一模部301内的冰块顶出，第二顶杆420可将第二模部320内的冰块顶出。脱模结构简单，且脱模效果可靠。
此外，通过采用第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中的一个固定，且第一子模壳401和第二子模壳402中的另一个可运动的方案，所需要的驱动机构比较简单，制冰机1001整体占用的空间较小。
在一些实施例中，第一壳部210及第二壳部220的开合运动方式至少包括平移式或旋转式，以下分别针对平移式或旋转式提供配套的驱动机构500。
参见图7，当第一壳部210采用平移式开合运动时，驱动机构500包括电 机510、转轴520、齿轮组530、齿条540和滑杆550。
驱动机构500包括两个齿条540，两个齿条540分别设于第一壳部210的顶部的沿运动方向的两侧处(例如，运动方向为左右方向，而两个齿条540的排列方向为前后方向)。驱动机构500包括四个滑杆550，四个滑杆550分别穿设于第一壳部210及第二壳部220的四个边角位置处。
例如，电机510与转轴520连接，齿条540通过齿轮组530与转轴520传动连接。由此，通过电机510能够驱动转轴520转动，转轴520带动齿轮组530转动，齿轮组530驱动齿条540运动，这样可使第一壳部210沿滑杆550平移。图4示出了驱动机构500驱动第一壳部210运动至合拢状态，图5示出了驱动机构500驱动第一壳部210运动至分离状态。
参见图4至图6，当第一壳部210采用平移式开合运动时，连杆组件700包括连杆710、第一卡部720和第二卡部730。
在一些实施例中，连杆710的延伸方向与第一壳部210的运动方向大体一致。例如，当第一壳部210沿图5中的MN方向运动时，连杆710呈沿MN方向延伸的直杆形状。连杆710的邻近第一壳部210的一端包括固定孔7101，连杆710的邻近第二壳部220的另一端与第二顶杆420连接(参照图4)。例如，第一壳部210的前侧面或后侧面中的至少一侧包括第一卡部720，第一卡部720与固定孔7101相匹配，以使第一壳部210与连杆710相连。第一卡部720可以形成为与齿条540同向延伸的凸块结构。
连杆710还包括条形孔701，条形孔701形成为沿厚度方向贯穿连杆710设置的通孔。第二壳部220的前侧面或后侧面中的至少一侧包括第二卡部730，第二卡部730穿设于条形孔701内，以使连杆71相对第二卡部730平移。第二壳部220的前侧面(或后侧面)包括一个或多个第二卡部730，第二卡部730可以形成为朝远离第二壳部220的前侧面或后侧面延伸的轴状结构。
参见图11，当第一壳部210采用旋转式开合运动时，驱动机构500包括电机510和转轴520，电机510与转轴520连接以驱动转轴520转动。第一壳部210与转轴520连接，这样通过转轴520的转动可以使第一壳部210沿预定方向旋转。图8和图9示出了驱动机构500驱动第一壳部210运动至合拢状态，图10示出了驱动机构500驱动第一壳部210运动至分离状态。
参照图11，制冰机1001还包括固定轴503，通过固定轴503便于实现第二壳部220与基座100的连接。在一些实施例中，第二壳部220与固定轴503连接，或者，第二壳部220直接与基座100固定连接。参见图8至图11，当第一壳部210采用旋转式开合运动时，连杆组件700的延伸方向与第一壳部 210的运动方向大体一致。例如，连杆组件700形成为弧形板状，连杆组件700的邻近第一壳部210的一端与第一壳部210相连(如通过螺钉连接)，连杆组件700的邻近第二壳部220的另一端与第二顶杆420连接，以使第二顶杆420通过连杆组件700与第一壳部210联动。
