Ice storage device and refrigerator

Abstract

The invention discloses an ice storage device and a refrigerator, and relates to the technical field of household appliances. The technical problem that the ice yield is low can be solved. The ice storage device comprises an ice storage box. An ice outlet door is arranged at the position of an outlet of the ice storage box. An ice smashing device is arranged in the ice storage box and comprises ice smashing fixed blades and ice smashing movable blades. The ice smashing movable blades are arranged on a rotating shaft in a sleeving manner and rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft is connected with a drive device. A stirrer is further arranged on the rotating shaft in a sleeving manner. The rotating shaft and the stirrer rotate synchronously. The stirrer comprises a columnar stirring body. At least one stirring finger is arranged on the columnar outer surface of the stirring body. The stirring fingers incline relative to the axial direction of the rotating shaft or are vertically arranged. Gaps are reserved between the tail ends of the stirring fingers and the ice outlet door. By means of the ice storage device, the ice outlet door can be more easily opened, and therefore the ice yield is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an ice storage device and a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, high-grade refrigerators with multiple functions are favored by more and more consumers. For example, some high-end refrigerators are provided with automatic ice makers, that is, they have an automatic ice making function. [0003] Generally, an automatic ice maker includes an ice maker, an ice storage device, etc. The ice maker stores the produced ice cubes in the ice storage device, and consumers take ice cubes from the ice storage device according to their needs. [0004] Existing ice storage devices are generally mainly composed of ice storage boxes and ice crushing devices. Synchronized rotation. When the moving ice blade rotates toward the fixed ice blade, the ice cubes can be crushed and discharged out of the ice storage box;...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

During the ice-out process of larger ice cubes or whole ice cubes, the ice cubes are stirred by the ice-crushing blades. Since the ice-breaking blades are thinner, the area of ​​action on the ice cubes is small during the stirring process. In addition, due to the The surface of the block is relatively smooth, which makes it easy for the thinner ice-crushing blade to slide directly over the ice block (for example, from the gap between the ice blocks), so that the ice block is not easy to stir, and then the ice block exerts a strong force on the ice door. The thrust is small, and the ice door is not easy to open, and the ice output rate is low.
