Ice breaking device and refrigerator

Abstract

The invention discloses an ice breaking device and a refrigerator. The ice breaking device comprises a shell body assembly, the shell body assembly comprises an outer shell and an ice bucket, a driving mechanism, and an ice breaking mechanism, which the ice bucket is supported in the outer shell; the driving mechanism is used for driving the ice bucket to rotate, and at least a part of the drivingmechanism is installed in the outer shell; the ice breaking mechanism is arranged in the ice bucket; the shell body assembly further comprises an ice discharging base plate arranged at the bottom ofthe ice bucket, an ice discharging port communicating with the ice bucket is formed in the ice discharging base plate, ice blocks obtained through an ice making mechanism are crushed by the ice breaking mechanism in the ice bucket and then are discharged from the ice discharging port; the outer shell comprises a first part for accommodating the ice bucket and a second part for installing the driving mechanism, a groove which extends along the circumferential direction of the ice bucket is formed between the ice discharging base plate and the first part, the groove communicates with the ice discharging port, and the lower edge of the ice bucket extends into the groove. The ice breaking device and the refrigerator are more reliable in use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to an ice crushing device and a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, in order to meet people's higher and higher requirements for quality of life, the functions of household appliances are also increasing, such as adding ice machines to refrigerators. The ice machine of the refrigerator comprises an ice making device and an ice crushing device, and the ice making device prepares ice cubes and stores them in a bucket-shaped container for people to use. At the same time, for the convenience of use, the technicians set the ice output mode of the refrigerator to the crushed ice mode and the ice cube mode. In the crushed ice mode, what people take are cut ice cubes; while in the ice cube mode, what people take are intact ice cubes. [0003] In the prior art, ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] There is another problem, the crushed ice can end up accumulating on the bottom of the ice bucket, affecting the drivetrain

[0007] The ice crushing device generally feeds ice from the top. If it is not used for a long time, a large number of ice cubes on the top will stick together, which requires an ice stirring rod to separate the sticky ice. , will cause the ice crushing mechanism to be stuck, and the speed of crushing ice is also relatively small
