Container and ice maker

Abstract

A container and an ice maker are disclosed. The container includes a first housing, a second housing and a dynamic adjustment assembly connected between the first housing and the second housing. A first side wall of the first housing and a second side wall of the second housing are in sleeve connection with each other and movable relative to each other along a sleeve direction. The second side wall, a bottom wall and at least a part of the first side wall enclose to form an accommodating cavity. The dynamic adjustment assembly adjusts a movement of the bottom wall between a first position and a second position according to the weight of an object in the accommodating cavity, to adjust the volume of the accommodating cavity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container, comprising:
 a first housing comprising a first side wall;   a second housing comprising a bottom wall and a second side wall connected to the bottom wall, wherein the second side wall is in sleeve connection with the first side wall, and the first side wall and the second side wall are able to move relative to each other along a sleeve direction, such that the bottom wall moves between a first position and a second position; and the bottom wall, the second side wall and at least a part of the first side wall enclose to form an accommodating cavity; and   a dynamic adjustment assembly connected between the first housing and the second housing, wherein the dynamic adjustment assembly is configured to dynamically adjust a movement of the bottom wall between the first position and the second position according to a weight of an object contained in the accommodating cavity, to adjust a volume of the accommodating cavity.   
     
     
         2 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic adjustment assembly comprises an elastic member; the elastic member is configured to provide elastic force along the sleeve direction such that the bottom wall is positioned in the first position; and the bottom wall, driven by a gravity of the object contained in the accommodating cavity, is able to move between the first position and the second position. 
     
     
         3 . The container according to  claim 2 , wherein the elastic member is a spring extending along the sleeve direction; one of the first side wall and the second side wall is provided with a first mounting seat while the other one of the first side wall and the second side wall is provided with a second mounting seat; the spring is connected between the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat; and a deformation amount of the spring gradually increases in a process that the bottom wall moves from the first position to the second position. 
     
     
         4 . The container according to  claim 3 , wherein the first mounting seat comprises a first connecting portion and a first mounting groove extending along the sleeve direction; the second mounting seat comprises a second connecting portion; the spring is arranged in the first mounting groove; the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are connected to both ends of the spring, respectively; and the second connecting portion is able to slide along the first mounting groove. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  claim 4 , wherein the second mounting seat further comprises a second mounting groove extending along the sleeve direction; the first mounting seat is in sleeve connection with the second mounting seat; the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove form a mounting cavity; the spring is arranged in the mounting cavity; and the first connecting portion is able to slide along the second mounting groove. 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  claim 4 , wherein the container further comprises a limiting member; the limiting member is connected to the first side wall or the second side wall; the limiting member is at least partially positioned in the first mounting groove; and the limiting member and the second connecting portion are configured, in a state that the bottom wall is positioned in the first position, to be abutted against each other along the sleeve direction, to limit a movement of the bottom wall in a direction away from the second position. 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein one of the first side wall and the second side wall is provided with a guide groove while the other one of the first side wall and the second side wall is provided with a guide portion; and the guide groove extends along the sleeve direction, the guide portion is arranged in the guide groove, and the guide portion is able to move along the guide groove. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the first side wall is provided with a first limiting portion, and the second side wall is provided with a second limiting portion; and the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are configured, in a state that the bottom wall is positioned in the first position, to be abutted against each other along the sleeve direction, to limit the movement of the bottom wall in a direction away from the second position. 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 1 , wherein the first housing and the second housing are configured in one of the following ways:
 the second side wall is in sleeve connection with an outer wall of the first side wall, and the bottom wall is configured to be positioned below a bottom of the first side wall when in the second position; or   the second side wall is in sleeve connection with an inner wall of the first side wall, the first side wall encloses to form a first cavity; the second side wall and the bottom wall are positioned in the first cavity; the second side wall is in sleeve connection with the inner wall of the first side wall; and the bottom wall is configured to be flush with the bottom of the first side wall or higher than the bottom of the first side wall when in the second position.   
     
     
         10 . An ice maker, comprising:
 a machine body provided with a cavity inside; and   the container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is arranged in the cavity to form the container for storing ice, the first side wall and the second side wall are in sleeve connection along an up-down direction, the first side wall is connected to or abuts against the machine body, and the bottom wall is positioned above a bottom of the cavity; and in the cavity, the space positioned below the bottom wall forms a water storage cavity for storing water, and the bottom wall moves between the first position and the second position to adjust a volume ratio of the accommodating cavity to the water storage cavity.
