The pressing device 200 includes a first positioning member 210 and a second positioning member 220, wherein the first positioning member 210 is disposed through the limiting hole 111, and the second positioning member 220 is disposed in the first limiting groove 112, so that the pressing device 200 is rotatably connected to the dispenser body 110.

It is understood that the shape of the limiting hole 111 may be a square hole, a round hole, or the like, so that the first positioning member 210 may be rotatably coupled to the dispenser body 110. Exemplarily, the limiting hole 111 may be a circular hole, and the limiting hole 111 of the circular hole may reduce friction between the first positioning element 210 and an inner wall of the circular hole, which is more favorable for the first positioning element 210 to rotate and connect in the circular hole.

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, fig. 10 is another view of fig. 8, and fig. 11 is an enlarged view of a portion D of fig. 10.

It should be understood that, the groove wall 113 of the first positioning member 112 may also be a rectangle or an arc surface, and it is beneficial for the second positioning member 220 to rotate in the first positioning member 112 by setting the groove wall 113 to be the arc surface so that the friction force between the second positioning member 220 and the arc surface is reduced.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, fig. 8 is a schematic structural view of a dispenser body of an ice making device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 9 is an enlarged structural view of a portion C shown in fig. 8.

One side of the dispenser body 110 in the ice making device 2 is provided with a limit hole 111 and one side far away from the limit hole 111 is provided with a first limit groove 112, the first positioning piece 210 of the pressing device 200 and the second positioning piece 220 penetrating the limit hole 111 and the pressing device 200 are installed in the first limit groove 112, so that the pressing device 200 is rotatably connected to the dispenser body 110, that is, the simple structure on the pressing device 200 is matched with the structure of the dispenser body 110, the assembly is simple, the disassembly is convenient, and the assembly and maintenance costs are reduced.

Referring to fig. 8 and 11, the distributor body 110 further includes a groove wall 113 forming the first limiting groove 112, the groove wall 113 includes a first groove wall 1131, a second groove wall 1132 and a third groove wall 1133, the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132 are disposed opposite to each other, the third groove wall 1133 is connected between the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132, the third groove wall 1133 is arc-shaped, and the third groove wall 1133 forms an accommodating space 1134. It is understood that first slot wall 1131 and second slot wall 1132 may have the same arc shape as third slot wall 1133, i.e., first slot wall 1131, second slot wall 1132, and third slot wall 1133 may form a coherent arc shape; or, first groove wall 1131 and second groove wall 1132 have planar shapes, and the arc tangent at the connection between first groove wall 1131 and second groove wall 1132 and third groove wall 1133 forms a certain angle, respectively.

First groove wall 1131 and second groove wall 1132 may have the same shape or different shapes. Illustratively, first slot wall 1131 and second slot wall 1132 are the same shape.

The second positioning member 220 is rotatably disposed in the accommodating space 1134, and the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132 form a passage for the second positioning member 220 to enter the accommodating space 1134.

It can be understood that the process of rotatably disposing the second positioning member 220 in the accommodating space 1134 can be divided into two cases: one is that when the outer diameter of the second positioning member 220 is smaller than the width of the channel formed by the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132, the second positioning member 220 can easily enter the accommodating space 1134 without friction between the first positioning member and the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132; secondly, when the outer diameter of the second positioning element 220 is larger than the width of the channel formed by the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132, the second positioning element 220 entering the accommodating space 1134 may cause the groove wall 113 of the first position-limiting groove 112 to elastically deform, and after the second positioning element 220 enters the accommodating space 1134, the channel is smaller to prevent the second positioning element 220 from falling off.

Third slot wall 1133 forms a receiving space 1134, and first slot wall 1131 and second slot wall 1132 connected to third slot wall 1133 may form a passage into receiving space 1134. It can be understood that the accommodating space 1134 is communicated with the channel, so that the second positioning member 220 smoothly enters into the accommodating space 1134, and the accommodating space 1134 is in a circular arc shape, so that the second positioning member 220 can be rotatably connected.

With continued reference to FIG. 11, a first protrusion 114 is formed on first slot wall 1131, and a second protrusion 115 is formed on second slot wall 1132. Illustratively, first protrusion 114 is disposed at a junction of first groove wall 1131 and third groove wall 1133, and second protrusion 115 is disposed at a junction of second groove wall 1132 and third groove wall 1133. It is understood that the first protrusion 114 and the second protrusion 115 are used for limiting the second positioning member 220 from being removed from the accommodating space 1134, and the first protrusion 114 and the second protrusion 115 respectively disposed at the connection point can prevent the second positioning member 220 already in the accommodating space 1134 from being removed from the accommodating space 1134 at the outlet of the accommodating space 1134.

The first protrusion 114 and the second protrusion 115 may be a limiting rib, a bump, or the like. In the present embodiment, the number of the first protrusions 114 and the second protrusions 115 is not limited, that is, there may be a plurality of first protrusions 114 and second protrusions 115 provided corresponding to the first protrusions 114.

The second positioning element 220 includes a through portion 221, a first groove 2211 and a second groove 2212 corresponding to the first groove 2211 are disposed on the through portion 221, a bottom wall of the first groove 2211 is parallel to a bottom wall of the second groove 2212, a distance between the bottom wall of the first groove 2211 and the bottom wall of the second groove 2212 is smaller than a distance between the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132, and a distance between the bottom wall of the first groove 2211 and the bottom wall of the second groove 2212 is greater than a distance between the first protrusion 114 and the second protrusion 115.

It can be understood that, since the through portion 221 is provided with the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2212, the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2212 are opposite to the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132 and enter the accommodating space 1134, the existence of the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2212 can reduce the outer diameter of the second positioning element 220, that is, the existence of the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2212 enables the second positioning element 220 to have the minimum outer diameter, and it can be understood that the distance between the bottom wall of the first groove 2211 and the bottom wall of the second groove 2212 of the second positioning element 220, that is, the minimum outer diameter is smaller than the width of the channel formed by the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132, so that the second positioning element 220 can more easily enter the accommodating space 1134.

After the second positioning element 220 enters the accommodating space 1134, the second positioning element 220 can rotate by a certain angle, so that the first and

second grooves

2211 and 2212 deviate from the first and

second groove walls

1131 and 1132 by a certain angle, and it can be understood that the minimum outer diameter of the second positioning element 220 deviates from the channel formed by the first and

second groove walls

1131 and 1132 by a certain angle, so that the second positioning element 220 is not easy to fall off after entering the accommodating space 1134.

Referring to fig. 7, 12 and 13, fig. 12 is a schematic structural view of a pressing device 200 of an ice making device 2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and fig. 13 is an enlarged structural view of a portion E shown in fig. 12.

The dispenser body 110 further includes a base plate 116 and a first mounting portion 117 protruding from the base plate 116, wherein the first mounting portion 117 forms a first limiting groove 112.

Wherein the base plate 116 is used to carry other structures of the dispenser body 110.

The dispenser 100 further includes a first mounting portion 117 protruding from the base plate 116, the first mounting portion 117 forms a first positioning groove 112, and the first positioning groove 112 is used for fixing the second positioning element 220.

The through portion 221 includes a first limiting sub-portion 2213 and a second limiting sub-portion 2214, and the first limiting sub-portion 2213 and the second limiting sub-portion 2214 are respectively connected to the bottom wall of the first recess 2211 and the bottom wall of the second recess 2212, it can be understood that the first limiting sub-portion 2213 and the second limiting sub-portion 2214 together form the first recess 2211 and the second recess 2212.

In this case, when the penetrating portion 221 is rotatably connected to the accommodating space 1134, two side surfaces of the first mounting portion 117 forming the first limiting groove 112 abut against the first limiting sub-portion 2213 and the second limiting sub-portion 2214, and because the axis of the circle corresponding to the arc surface of the first limiting groove 112 is collinear with the axis of the limiting hole 111, the parallel movement of the pressing device 200 along the axis of the limiting hole 111 can be limited.

With reference to fig. 6 and 13, the pressing device 200 includes a pressing device main body 230, and the pressing device main body 230 is disposed between the first positioning element 210 and the second positioning element 220. According to the above, the dispenser body 110 includes the second mounting portion 118 protruding from the base plate 116, and the second mounting portion 118 forms the limiting hole 111.

Since the presser main body 230 cannot pass through the stopper hole 111 and the first stopper groove 112, the first mounting portion 117 and the second mounting portion 118 are used to restrict the presser main body 230 from moving in parallel along the axis of the stopper hole 111.

In this embodiment, since the volume of the presser main body 230 is large, the smaller position-limiting hole 111 and the first position-limiting groove 112 can prevent the presser main body 230 from translating, and further increase the stability of the presser 200 connected to the dispenser 100.

Referring to fig. 14 and 15, fig. 14 is a second structural schematic diagram of a dispenser body and a pressing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 15 is an enlarged view of a portion F shown in fig. 14.

The ice making device 2 further includes an elastic member 300, and the elastic member 300 is connected to the dispenser body 110 and the presser 200 such that the presser 200 forms a predetermined included angle with the dispenser body 110. The elastic member 300 may be a spring, a snap, etc. The elastic member 300 biases the bottom wall of the first recess 2211 and the bottom wall of the second recess 2212 of the presser 200 away from the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132 of the dispenser main body 110, and prevents the presser 200 from falling off from the first stopper groove 112 when the distance between the bottom wall of the first recess 2211 and the bottom wall of the second recess 2212 is smaller than the distance between the first groove wall 1131 and the second groove wall 1132.

The elastic member 300 includes a ring-shaped spring body 310, and the ring-shaped spring body 310 is cylindrical and can be sleeved on the second positioning member 220. The pressing device 200 includes a boss 240, the boss 240 is disposed at one end of the second positioning element 220 far away from the first positioning element 210, and an outer diameter of the boss 240 is greater than an outer diameter of the annular spring main body 310, so as to prevent the annular spring main body 310 from falling off from the second positioning element 220, it can be understood that, without the boss 240, there is a risk that the annular spring main body 310 sleeved on the second positioning element 220 falls off from the second positioning element 220 in the process of being operated by a user, and after the boss 240 is disposed, the annular spring main body 310 can be stabilized, and the annular spring main body 310 is prevented from falling off from the second positioning element 220.
