[0037] An embodiment of the present application provides a refrigeration device 10. The refrigeration device 10 includes a box body 11, a first refrigeration compartment 12, a second refrigeration compartment 13, a first door body 14, a second door body 15, an ice-making assembly 200, an ice-taking assembly 300, and an ice-transferring device 100.

The first door body 14 is used to open and close the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the second door body 15 is used to open and close the second refrigeration compartment 13. The second refrigeration compartment 13 is located above the first refrigeration compartment 12. The ice-making assembly 200 is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12. The ice-taking assembly 300 is arranged on the second door body 15. The ice-transferring device 100 includes an ice-transferring channel 120 and an ice-transferring assembly 101. The ice-transferring assembly 101 is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12 or on the first door body 14. The ice-transferring channel 120 is communicated with the ice-taking assembly 300 and is used to provide a moving path for the ice cubes to be transported from the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the second door body 15. The ice-transferring assembly 101 is communicated with the ice-making assembly 200 and is used to drive the ice cubes made by the ice-making assembly 200 to be moved out towards the ice-transferring channel 120. Among them, the first refrigeration compartment 12 is a freezing compartment, and the second refrigeration compartment 13 is a refrigerating compartment. Through the ice-transferring device 100, the ice cubes in the first refrigeration compartment 12 can be transported to the ice-taking assembly 300 located above, which is convenient for users to take ice, improves the user experience, and the ice-making assembly 200 is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the cold source can be shared with the first refrigeration compartment 12, and there is no need to separately set the evaporator required for ice-making because the ice-making assembly 200 is arranged in the second refrigeration compartment 13, which saves cost and the space occupied by the second refrigeration compartment 13 and improves the volume ratio of the second refrigeration compartment 13. The refrigeration device 10 of the present application not only improves the ice-taking efficiency but also solves the problems of inconvenient ice-taking for users and space occupation of the second refrigeration compartment 13.

[0038] Among them, in order to further reduce the occupation of the internal space of the refrigeration compartment, the ice-transferring channel 120 can be arranged on the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. Specifically, the ice-transferring channel 120 includes a first sub-channel 123 and a second sub-channel 124. The first sub-channel 123 is arranged on the first door body 14, and the first sub-channel 123 is communicated with the ice-transferring assembly 101. The second sub-channel 124 is arranged on the second door body 15, and the second sub-channel 124 is communicated with the ice-taking assembly 300.

[0039] Since there is a gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, there is a gap at the mutually close ends of the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124. When the refrigeration device 10 needs to take ice and the ice-transferring channel 120 is used to transport the ice cubes, there are risks such as moving blockage and contamination during the movement of the ice cubes.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3It is a schematic structural diagram of the second door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application; Figure 4 It is a partial structural schematic diagram of the first door body and the second door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application, wherein the movable channel extends out of the door body.

[0041] To solve the above problems, in some embodiments, the ice transfer channel 120 further includes a movable channel 400. A channel ice outlet 1231 is provided at one end of the first sub-channel 123 close to the second sub-channel 124, and a channel ice inlet 1241 is provided at one end of the second sub-channel 124 close to the first sub-channel 123. The movable channel 400 is used to connect the channel ice outlet 1231 and the channel ice inlet 1241. Ice cubes can enter the movable channel 400 from the channel ice outlet 1231 of the first sub-channel 123 and move to the second sub-channel 124 through the channel ice inlet 1241. Since the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 are connected through the movable channel 400, the gap between the channel ice inlet 1241 and the channel ice outlet 1231 can be reduced or filled. Through the connection of the movable channel 400, the ice cubes can smoothly move from the first sub-channel 123 to the second sub-channel 124, avoiding ice blockage, and the ice cubes do not need to be directly exposed to the external space during the process of moving from the first sub-channel 123 to the second sub-channel 124, avoiding ice contamination.

[0042] In some embodiments, the movable channel 400 includes the first sub-channel 123. A first channel opening 141 is provided at the top of the first door body 14. The first movable channel 410 is movably arranged on the first door body 14 and is used to movably extend out of the first channel opening 141 or retract into the first door body 14. And / or, the movable channel 400 includes the second sub-channel 124. A second channel opening 151 is provided at the bottom of the second door body 15. The second movable channel 420 is movably arranged on the second door body 15 and is used to movably extend out of the second channel opening 151 or retract into the second door body 15.

[0043] Specifically, when the movable channel 400 includes the first movable channel 410, the first movable channel 410 extends out of the first channel opening 141 for docking with the second channel opening 151 to ensure that the ice cubes pass smoothly through the gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. Among them, the first movable channel 410 can extend out of the first channel opening 141 to a distance less than a predetermined value from the bottom of the second door body 15, or the first movable channel 410 can extend out of the first channel opening 141 to be in contact with the bottom of the second door body 15, or the first movable channel 410 can further extend out of the first channel opening 141 to extend into the second channel opening 151 for docking with the channel ice inlet 1241. At this time, in order to better connect the movable channel 400 with the channel ice outlet 1231 and the channel ice inlet 1241, the second sub-channel 124 can extend towards the second channel opening 151 until the channel ice inlet 1241 is formed in the second channel opening 151.

[0044] Specifically, when the movable channel 400 includes the second movable channel 420, the second movable channel 420 extends out of the second channel opening 151 for docking with the first channel opening 141, ensuring that the ice cubes smoothly pass through the gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. Among them, the second movable channel 420 can extend out of the second channel opening 151 to a distance less than a predetermined value from the top of the first door body 14, or the second movable channel 420 can extend out of the second channel opening 151 to fit with the top of the first door body 14, or the second movable channel 420 can further extend out of the second channel opening 151 to extend into the first channel opening 141 for docking with the channel ice outlet 1231. At this time, in order to better connect the movable channel 400 with the channel ice outlet 1231 and the channel ice inlet 1241, the first sub-channel 123 can extend towards the first channel opening 141 until the channel ice outlet 1231 is formed at the first channel opening 141.

[0045] Specifically, when the movable channel 400 includes both the first movable channel 410 and the second movable channel 420 at the same time. The first movable channel 410 can be movably extended out of the first channel opening 141, the second movable channel 420 can be movably extended out of the second channel opening 151, the first movable channel 410 is connected to the channel ice outlet 1231, the second movable channel 420 is connected to the channel ice inlet 1241, and the first movable channel 410 and the second movable channel 420 are connected.

[0046] The movement modes of the movable channel 400 include but are not limited to translation and rotation, and examples are given below:

[0047] When the movable channel 400 includes the first movable channel 410. In some embodiments, the first movable channel 410 can be translationally movably arranged in the first sub-channel 123 along the first direction A, and the first movable channel 410 is connected to the channel ice outlet 1231. The first movable channel 410 can be moved to extend out of the first channel opening 141 or can be moved to retract into the first door body 14. Among them, the first direction A is the extending direction of the first sub-channel 123 (here, it refers to the extending direction of the section of the first sub-channel 123 close to the first channel opening 141, and the overall extending direction of the first sub-channel 123 can have bends).

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 is a partial structural schematic diagram of the first door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application, wherein the first movable channel is retracted into the first door body; Figure 61 is a partial structural diagram of the first door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application, wherein the first movable channel extends out of the first door body. In other embodiments, the first movable channel 410 can also be rotatably arranged on the first door body 14. The first movable channel 410 can be rotated to connect with the channel ice outlet 1231 at one end and extend out of the first channel opening 141 at the other end, or the first movable channel 410 can be rotated to be separated from the channel ice outlet 1231 and retracted into the first door body 14.

[0049] Similarly, when the movable channel 400 includes the second movable channel 420. The second movable channel 420 can be arranged in the second sub-channel 124 for translational movement along the second direction B, and the second movable channel 420 is connected with the channel ice inlet 1241. The second movable channel 420 can be moved to extend out of the second channel opening 151 or can be moved to be retracted into the second door body 15. Among them, the second direction B is the extension direction of the second sub-channel 124 (here refers to the extension direction of the section of the second sub-channel 124 close to the second channel opening 151, and the overall extension direction of the second sub-channel 124 may have a bend). The second movable channel 420 can also be rotatably arranged in the second door body 15. The second movable channel 420 can be rotated to one end to be connected with the channel ice inlet 1241 and the other two ends to extend out of the second channel opening 151, or the second movable channel 420 can be rotated to be separated from the channel ice inlet 1241 and retracted into the second door body 15.

[0050] When the active channel 400 includes the first active channel 410 and the second active channel 420 at the same time, the first active channel 410 and the second active channel 420 may adopt the same or different active modes.

[0051] When the first movable channel 410 and the second movable channel 420 are correspondingly arranged in translation on the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, the first direction A and the second direction B can be collinear or staggered according to actual conditions, which is not limited here. In addition, since the moving direction of the ice cubes is from the first sub-channel 123 to the first movable channel 410, and from the second movable channel 420 to the second sub-channel 124. In order to avoid collision with the end of the first movable channel 410, the second movable channel 420 or the second sub-channel 124 during transportation of ice cubes, the first movable channel 410 is sleeved outside the first sub-channel 123 and always maintains docking with the first sub-channel 123, and the second movable channel 420 is penetrated in the second sub-channel 124 and always maintains docking with the second sub-channel 124, the end face of the first movable channel 410 will not form a step face in the first sub-channel 123, and the end face of the second sub-channel 124 will not form a step face in the second sub-channel 124, so that the ice cubes pass smoothly.

[0052] The active channel 400 can realize the corresponding activity mode through any driving structure, and the following is an example:

[0053] When the movable channel 400 is translated and moves corresponding to the door body, the refrigeration device 10 further includes a driving member 430. In some embodiments, the driving member 430 includes a rack 431, a gear 432, and a motor (not shown in the figure). The rack 431 is arranged along the translation direction of the movable channel 400 on the outer wall of the corresponding movable channel 400. The gear 432 meshes with the rack 431. The gear 432 is rotatably arranged on the corresponding door body. The motor drives the gear 432 to rotate so as to drive the movable channel 400 to move. Taking the driving member 430 for driving the first movable channel 410 to move as an example, the rack 431 is arranged along the first direction A on the outer wall of the first movable channel 410, the rack 431 is rotatably arranged on the first door body 14, the motor is arranged on the first door body 14, the motor drives the gear 432 to rotate, and the gear 432 drives the rack 431 and the first movable channel 410 to reciprocate, so as to extend out of the first channel opening 141 or retract into the first door body 14. For the convenience of arranging the rack 431, a positioning block may also be fixedly arranged on the outer side of the movable channel 400, the rack 431 is arranged on the positioning block, and the movable channel 400 can be driven to move by driving the positioning block to move. In other embodiments, the driving member 430 may also be a linear motor or a cylinder, and the output end of the driving member 430 is directly connected to the movable channel 400, and the driving member 430 drives the movable channel 400 to move along the corresponding translation direction.

[0054] When the movable channel 400 is rotatably arranged on the corresponding door body, a fixed block 440 is arranged outside the movable channel 400, and the refrigeration device 10 further includes a driving member 430. In some embodiments, the driving member 430 includes a driving gear (not shown in the figure), a driven gear (not shown in the figure), and a motor (not shown in the figure). The driven gear is fixed to the fixed block 440, and the rotation axis of the driven gear is collinear with the rotation axis of the movable channel 400. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear. The motor drives the driving gear to rotate and drives the driven gear and the movable channel 400 to rotate. In other embodiments, the driving member 430 may be a motor, and the output end of the motor is directly connected to the fixed block 440, so as to directly drive the movable channel 400 to rotate.

[0055] In order to avoid causing personal injury, in some embodiments, the refrigeration device 10 further includes a baffle 16. The baffle 16 is arranged on the side of the first door body 14 facing away from the cabinet 11 and is located at one end close to the second door body 15, and the baffle 16 is arranged corresponding to the movable channel 400; and / or, the baffle 16 is arranged on the side of the second door body 15 facing away from the cabinet 11 and is located at one end close to the first door body 14, and the baffle 16 is arranged corresponding to the movable channel 400. The baffle 16 can prevent the user from stretching their hand to the position where the movable channel 400 extends, thereby avoiding problems such as pinching hands.

[0056] Due to the gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, there is a gap at the mutually approaching ends of the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124. The mutually approaching ends of the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 are exposed, resulting in problems such as foreign objects entering and cold loss.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 , wherein, Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of the first door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application. To solve the above problems, in some embodiments, a first channel opening 141 is provided at the top of the first door body 14, and a second channel opening 151 is provided at the bottom of the second door body 15. The first channel opening 141 is correspondingly arranged with the first sub-channel 123, and the second channel opening 151 is correspondingly arranged with the second sub-channel 124. Ice cubes can enter the first sub-channel 123, and then enter the second sub-channel 124 through the first channel opening 141 and the second channel opening 151 in sequence, and finally enter the ice-taking assembly 300. The refrigeration device 10 further includes a first sealing member 510 and a second sealing member 520. The first sealing member 510 is used to open or block the first channel opening 141. The second sealing member 520 is used to open or block the second channel opening 151.

[0058] From the above structure, it can be seen that by providing the first sealing member 510, when ice-taking is not required, the first sealing member 510 moves to block the first channel opening 141, preventing foreign objects from entering the first sub-channel 123 or the first door body 14 through the exposed first channel opening 141. On the one hand, it can avoid foreign objects from entering, and on the other hand, it can also prevent part of the cold loss. When ice-taking is required, the first sealing member 510 moves to open the first channel opening 141, without affecting the passage of ice cubes. By providing the second sealing member 520, when ice-taking is not required, the second sealing member 520 moves to block the second channel opening 151, preventing foreign objects from entering the second sub-channel 124 or the second door body 15 through the exposed second channel opening 151. On the one hand, it can avoid foreign objects from entering, and on the other hand, it can also prevent part of the cold loss. When ice-taking is required, the second sealing member 520 moves to open the second channel opening 151, without affecting the passage of ice cubes. Therefore, when ice-taking is required, the first sealing member 510 opens the first channel opening 141, and the second sealing member 520 opens the second channel opening 151; after ice-taking is completed, the first sealing member 510 blocks the first channel opening 141, and the second sealing member 520 blocks the second channel opening 151.

[0059] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 is Figure 7 an enlarged schematic diagram of part C in Figure 9FIG. 0 is a schematic partial structure diagram of a first door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application, mainly used to show a first seal. Among them, the first seal 510 includes a first seal cover 511 and a first power member 512. The first seal cover 511 is movably arranged on the first door body 14, and is movably arranged at an end of the first door body 14 having a first channel opening 141. The first power member 512 can drive the first seal cover 511 to move away from the first channel opening 141, or the first power member 512 can drive the first seal cover 511 to move to cover the first channel opening 141. When the first seal cover 511 is separated from the first channel opening 141, the first channel opening 141 is opened, allowing ice cubes to pass through smoothly; when the first seal cover 511 covers the first channel opening 141, the first channel opening 141 is blocked, and the first seal cover 511 can prevent sundries from entering and also prevent some cold energy from dissipating.

[0060] Similarly, please continue to refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 FIG. 7 is a schematic partial structure diagram of a second door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application, mainly used to show a second seal. The second seal 520 includes a second seal cover 521 and a second power member 522. The second seal cover 521 is movably arranged on the second door body 15, and is movably arranged at an end of the second door body 15 having a second channel opening 151. The second power member 522 can drive the second seal cover 521 to move away from the second channel opening 151, or the second driving member 430 can drive the second seal cover 521 to move to cover the second channel opening 151. When the second seal cover 521 is separated from the second channel opening 151, the second channel opening 151 is opened, allowing ice cubes to pass through smoothly; when the second seal cover 521 covers the second channel opening 151, the second channel opening 151 is blocked, and the second seal cover 521 can prevent sundries from entering and also prevent some cold energy from dissipating.

[0061] The first seal cover 511 and the second seal cover 521 can be separated from the first channel opening 141 or opened the first channel opening 141 through any driving structure. In some embodiments, the first seal cover 511 can move translationally, and the first power member 512 drives the first seal cover 511 to move towards or away from the first channel opening 141. Specifically, the first power member 512 includes a first gear 5121, a first rack 5122, and a first motor 5123. The first gear 5121 is rotatably arranged in the first door body 14, the first rack 5122 is arranged on the side of the first seal cover 511 facing away from the first channel opening 141, and the first rack 5122 meshes with the first gear 5121. The output end of the first motor 5123 is connected to the first gear 5121 for driving the first gear 5121 to rotate, so that the first gear 5121 drives the first rack 5122 and the first seal cover 511 to reciprocate, realizing opening or blocking the first channel opening 141.

[0062] To limit the movement of the first sealing cover 511 and ensure the stable meshing of the first gear 5121 and the first rack 5122, in some embodiments, the first seal 510 further includes a first bottom plate 513 and a first cover plate 514. The first bottom plate 513 is disposed at the end of the first door body 14 corresponding to the first channel opening 141. The first bottom plate 513 is provided with a first bottom plate opening corresponding to the first channel opening 141. The first cover plate 514 is covered on the first bottom plate 513, and the first cover plate 514 and the first bottom plate 513 enclose a first space. The first sealing cover 511 is movably disposed in the first space. The first cover plate 514 is provided with a first strip-shaped groove 5141 corresponding to the first rack 5122. The first gear 5121 passes through the first strip-shaped groove 5141 and meshes with the first rack 5122. The first cover plate 514 is provided with a first cover plate opening corresponding to the first bottom plate opening. The first sub-channel 123 communicates with the first cover plate opening. The ice cubes moved out from the first sub-channel 123 can smoothly pass through the first cover plate opening, the first bottom plate opening and the first channel opening 141. The first space limits the movement of the first sealing cover 511 to ensure the stable movement of the first sealing cover 511 and the stable meshing of the first gear 5121 and the first rack 5122. To improve the smoothness of the movement of the first sealing cover 511, a guide wheel (not shown in the figure) is further provided on the first sealing cover 511, and the guide wheel is located between the first sealing cover 511 and the first bottom plate 513. Wherein, the first bottom plate 513 can be a part of the end plate of the first door body 14, or the first bottom plate 513 can be disposed on the end plate of the first door body 14.

[0063] In other embodiments, the first sealing cover 511 can also be rotatably disposed, and the first power member 512 drives the first sealing cover 511 to rotate to open the first channel opening 141 or rotate to block the first channel opening 141.

[0064] Similarly, the second sealing cover 521 can be translated, and the second power member 522 drives the second sealing cover 521 to move towards the second channel opening 151 or drive the second sealing cover 521 to move away from the second channel opening 151. Specifically, the second power member 522 includes a second gear 5221, a second rack 5222 and a second motor 5223. The second gear 5221 is rotatably disposed in the second door body 15, the second rack 5222 is disposed on the side of the second sealing cover 521 facing away from the second channel opening 151, and the second rack 5222 meshes with the second gear 5221. The output end of the second motor 5223 is connected to the second gear 5221 for driving the second gear 5221 to rotate, so that the second gear 5221 drives the second rack 5222 and the second sealing cover 521 to reciprocate, realizing the opening or blocking of the second channel opening 151.

[0065] In order to limit the movement of the second sealing cover 521 and ensure the stable meshing of the second gear 5221 and the second rack 5222, in some embodiments, the second seal 520 further includes a second bottom plate 523 and a second cover plate 524. The second bottom plate 523 is disposed at the end of the second door body 15 corresponding to the second channel opening 151. The second bottom plate 523 is provided with a second bottom plate opening corresponding to the second channel opening 151. The second cover plate 524 is covered on the second bottom plate 523, and the second cover plate 524 and the second bottom plate 523 enclose a second space. The second sealing cover 521 is movably disposed in the second space. The second cover plate 524 is provided with a second strip-shaped groove 5241 corresponding to the second rack 5222. The second gear 5221 passes through the second strip-shaped groove 5241 and meshes with the second rack 5222. The second cover plate 524 is provided with a second cover plate opening corresponding to the second bottom plate opening. The second sub-channel 124 communicates with the second cover plate opening. The ice cubes moved out from the first channel opening 141 can smoothly enter the second sub-channel 124 through the second channel opening 151, the second bottom plate opening, and the second cover plate opening. The second space limits the movement of the second sealing cover 521 to ensure the stable movement of the second sealing cover 521 and the stable meshing of the second gear 5221 and the second rack 5222. In order to improve the smoothness of the movement of the second sealing cover 521, a guide wheel is further provided on the second sealing cover 521, and the guide wheel is located between the second sealing cover 521 and the second bottom plate 523. Wherein, the second bottom plate 523 can be a part of the end plate of the second door body 15, or the second bottom plate 523 can be disposed on the end plate of the second door body 15.

[0066] In other embodiments, the second sealing cover 521 can also be rotatably disposed, and the second power member 522 drives the second sealing cover 521 to rotate to open the second channel opening 151 or rotate to block the second channel opening 151.

[0067] It should be noted that the first seal 510 and the second seal 520 can also be any other sealing mechanisms, and the structures of the first seal 510 and the first seal 510 can be the same or different, which is not limited herein.

[0068] In addition, the refrigeration device 10 may include a movable channel 400, a first seal 510, and a second seal 520. The movable channel 400, the first seal 510, and the second seal 520 cooperate. When ice needs to be taken out, the first seal 510 opens the first channel opening 141, the second seal 520 opens the second channel opening 151, and the movable channel 400 is movably communicated with the channel ice outlet 1231 and the channel ice inlet 1241. The ice moves smoothly without jamming, and the ice will not be contaminated. When ice does not need to be taken out, the movable channel 400 is movably retracted into the corresponding door body, the first seal 510 blocks the first channel opening 141, and the second seal 520 blocks the second channel opening 151, which can prevent sundries from entering the door body or the channel, and can also prevent part of the cold quantity from being dissipated. The moving modes of the movable channel 400 and the corresponding first seal 510 and / or second seal 520 can be independent or linked, and can be specifically set according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 FIG. is another partial structural schematic diagram of the first door body of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application, mainly used to show the third seal. The refrigeration device 10 further includes a third seal 530. Among them, the first sub-channel 123 extends to a position close to the first channel opening 141. The first seal 510 can be used to open or block the first channel opening 141 and can also be used to open or block the first position of the first sub-channel 123 close to the first channel opening 141. The third seal 530 is disposed on the first door body 14 and is used to open or block the second position of the first sub-channel 123. When the second seal 520 and the third seal 530 block the first sub-channel 123, an interval cavity 540 can be formed between the first position and the second position.

[0070] After the ice-taking is completed, the second seal 520 and the third seal 530 can block the first sub-channel 123. By providing the second seal 520 and the third seal 530, the ambient air and the internal air of the first refrigeration compartment 12 are isolated by the interval cavity 540, and the high-humidity ambient air and the low-temperature first refrigeration compartment 12 are effectively isolated, which can effectively prevent the water vapor in the ambient air from condensing in the first sub-channel 123.

[0071] Specifically, the second position is located between the first position and the ice-making assembly 200. The second seal 520 isolates the interval cavity 540 from the ambient air outside the refrigeration device 10, and the third seal 530 isolates the interval cavity 540 from the internal air of the first refrigeration compartment 12.

[0072] In addition, the second seal 520 and the third seal 530 have good sealing performance. However, under the continuous action of the cooling capacity in the first refrigerating compartment 12, the temperature of the gas in contact with the third seal 530 in the spacer cavity 540 is relatively low. However, in the refrigeration device 10 of the present application, due to the limited space in the spacer cavity 540 and the low moisture content of the air in the spacer cavity 540, the gas in the spacer cavity 540 will not continuously precipitate water vapor, so condensation problems will not occur, and it will not freeze after gathering, affecting the opening of the third seal 530 and the passage of ice cubes.

[0073] Under the further continuous action of the cooling capacity in the first refrigerating compartment 12, the air temperature in the spacer cavity 540 gradually decreases to affect the temperature at the second seal 520. Since the first seal 510 is in contact with the external environment, if it is in a low temperature for a long time, water vapor in the ambient air may condense on the outer side of the first seal 510. In some embodiments, the refrigeration device 10 further includes a heating element (not shown in the figure). The heating element is disposed outside the first sub-channel 123. The heating element can intermittently heat the air in the pipe, reducing the temperature difference between the ambient temperature on both sides of the first seal 510 and the spacer cavity 540, and avoiding the condensation of water vapor on the outer side of the first seal 510.

[0074] It should be noted that the heating element can be disposed in the foam layer of the first door body 14, or there is a heat insulation structure outside the heating element, and the heating element will not affect the low temperature in the first refrigerating compartment 12.

[0075] Since the space in the spacer cavity 540 is limited and the humidity is low, the air in the spacer cavity 540 is not likely to continuously precipitate and condense on the third seal 530. By heating the gas in the spacer cavity 540, it is further possible to avoid the condensation of dew on the side of the second seal 520 away from the spacer cavity 540. By providing the second seal 520 and the third seal 530, the condensation and freezing in the first sub-channel 123 can be effectively avoided.

[0076] Among them, the third seal 530 can be any sealing structure that can realize the functions of opening and blocking the first sub-channel 123. The sealing structure includes a translational movable seal or a rotational seal mechanism, etc. Specifically, the third seal 530 includes a rotating body 531 and a third power member 532. The rotating body 531 is rotatably disposed on the first door body 14. The rotating body 531 is formed with a rotating channel 5311 and a sealing block 5312. When taking ice, the third power member 532 can drive the rotating body 531 to rotate until the rotating channel 5311 communicates with the first sub-channel 123; when the ice-taking is completed, the third power member 532 can drive the rotating body 531 to rotate until the sealing block 5312 blocks the first sub-channel 123.

[0077] Specifically, the third power component 532 includes an annular toothed plate 5321, a drive gear 5322, and a third motor 5323. Among them, the annular toothed plate 5321 is disposed on the rotating body 531. The annular toothed plate 5321 is coaxially fixed to the rotating body 531. The drive gear 5322 is rotatably disposed on the first door body 14. The drive gear 5322 meshes with the annular toothed plate 5321. The output end of the third motor 5323 is connected to the drive gear 5322 to drive the drive gear 5322 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating body 531 to rotate until the rotating channel 5311 communicates with the first sub-channel 123, or until the sealing block 5312 blocks the first sub-channel 123.

[0078] The ice transfer assembly 101 in the refrigeration device 10 will be introduced below. The ice transfer assembly 101 can accelerate the ice cubes by means of projection, ejection, etc., so as to ensure the smooth passage of the ice cubes through the ice transfer channel 120 and provide power. The specific structure of the ice transfer assembly 101 has various implementation manners, and several manners are listed below:

[0079] <Ice throwing method>

[0080] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 which is a partial structural schematic diagram of the ice transfer device of another embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application. The ice transfer assembly 101 includes an ice transfer part 110 and a main rotating part 130. Among them, an ice transfer inlet 111, an ice transfer cavity 112, and an ice transfer outlet 113 that communicate with each other are formed in the ice transfer part 110. Among them, the ice transfer channel 120 communicates with the ice transfer cavity 112 through the ice transfer outlet 113. The main rotating part 130 is rotatably disposed in the ice transfer cavity 112. The ice transfer inlet 111 and the ice transfer outlet 113 are located on the outer periphery of the main rotating part 130. The main rotating part 130 can rotate along the first main rotation direction X and carry the ice cubes entering the ice transfer cavity 112 from the ice transfer inlet 111 and throw them from the ice transfer outlet 113 to the ice transfer channel 120.

[0081] In this application, the ice transfer part 110 of the ice transfer assembly 101 can be arranged in the first refrigerating compartment 12 or the first door body 14. The ice taking assembly 300 is located on the second door body 15 above the first refrigerating compartment 12. The ice transfer channel 120 is used to provide a moving path for the ice cubes to be transported from the first refrigerating compartment 12 to the second door body 15. Among them, the first refrigerating compartment 12 is a freezing compartment, and the second refrigerating compartment 13 is a refrigerating compartment. The ice transfer inlet 111 can be communicated with the ice making assembly 200, and the ice cubes enter the ice transfer cavity 112 from the ice transfer inlet 111. The main rotating part 130 drives the ice cubes to rotate along the first main rotation direction X, and throws the ice cubes towards the ice transfer outlet 113. The ice cubes have a certain initial velocity, move from the ice transfer outlet 113 to the ice transfer channel 120, and finally move along the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300. Since the main rotating part 130 can rotate continuously at a certain speed, the ice cubes coming out of the ice making assembly 200 can be continuously and quickly projected to the ice taking assembly 300. The ice cubes move quickly, the ice taking efficiency is high, rapid and continuous ice taking is realized, the waiting time for the user to take ice is short, and the ice cubes are not easy to melt, the quality of the ice cubes is high, and it is not easy for the ice cubes to melt and stick to each other.

[0082] The main rotating part 130 drives the ice cubes to rotate, so that the ice cubes obtain an initial velocity and then quickly move to the ice taking assembly 300. The ice cubes directly move from the first refrigerating compartment 12 to the ice taking assembly 300. The moving speed of the ice cubes is fast. Not only is the ice taking efficiency high, but also there is no need to set an evaporator for heat preservation of the ice cubes in the second refrigerating compartment 13, further improving the volume ratio of the second refrigerating compartment 13.

[0083] In some embodiments, the refrigeration device 10 further includes a conveying channel 150. The conveying channel 150 is communicated with the ice transfer cavity 112 through the ice transfer inlet 111, and the conveying channel 150 is used to communicate with the ice outlet end of the ice making assembly 200 to transport the ice cubes to the ice transfer cavity 112. The inlet end position of the conveying channel 150 is higher than the ice transfer inlet 111, and the ice cubes enter the ice transfer part 110 along the conveying channel 150 under the action of gravity; alternatively, the inlet end position of the conveying channel 150 can be flush with or lower than the ice transfer inlet 111, and the ice cubes are driven by some power mechanisms to move along the conveying channel 150 into the ice transfer cavity 112. Therefore, the ice transfer inlet 111 can be located in the upper half, the lower half or other positions of the ice transfer cavity 112, and the ice cubes can enter the ice transfer cavity 112 and be stuck to the main rotating part 130 under the action of gravity or with the assistance of other power mechanisms.

[0084] With the ice transfer device 100 of the present application, the size of the ice cubes is within a predetermined range, and the main rotating member 130 rotates along the first main rotation direction X at a predetermined speed. Usually, the ice cubes can be smoothly carried and thrown from the ice transfer outlet 113 to the ice transfer channel 120, and finally the ice cubes can smoothly move along the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice picking assembly 300. However, in some special cases, such as large changes in the size of the ice cubes, or relative displacement occurs between the ice cubes and the main rotating member 130 during the process of the main rotating member 130 carrying the ice cubes, and the ice cubes do not obtain the required initial velocity when the main rotating member 130 throws the ice cubes into the ice transfer channel 120, etc., all of which will cause the ice cubes to fail to smoothly move along the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice picking assembly 300. The ice cubes that do not reach the ice picking assembly 300 will fall back into the ice transfer part 110 along the ice transfer channel 120. In order to avoid ice blockage affecting the ice transfer efficiency of the ice transfer device 100, in some embodiments, such as Figure 13 as shown, Figure 13 is a schematic partial structure diagram of an ice transfer device of another embodiment of the refrigeration equipment of the present application. The ice transfer cavity 112 further includes an ice transfer return opening 119, and the ice transfer device 100 further includes a return ice channel 160. The return ice channel 160 communicates with the ice transfer return opening 119. The ice outlet end of the return ice channel 160 is lower than the ice outlet end of the ice transfer channel 120. The main rotating member 130 can also rotate along the second main rotation direction Y and carry the ice cubes located in the ice transfer cavity 112 and throw them from the ice transfer return opening 119 into the return ice channel 160. The second main rotation direction Y is opposite to the first main rotation direction X. By providing the return ice channel 160, when the ice cubes that do not reach the ice picking assembly 300 fall back along the ice transfer channel 120 and are blocked in the ice transfer part 110, the ice feeding into the ice transfer part 110 through the ice transfer inlet 111 can be stopped, and the main rotating member 130 can rotate along the second main rotation direction Y to throw the ice cubes into the return ice channel 160. Since the ice outlet end of the return ice channel 160 is lower than the ice outlet end of the ice transfer channel 120, the ice cubes can be discharged through the return ice channel 160 at a relatively low speed, avoiding ice cube accumulation and blocking the ice transfer part 110, and ensuring the normal operation of the ice transfer device 100.

[0085] Among them, the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 communicates with the ice making assembly 200, and the ice outlet end of the conveying channel 150 communicates with the ice transfer part 110. The ice cubes of the ice making assembly 200 move to the ice transfer part 110 through the conveying channel 150. The ice outlet end of the return ice channel 160 communicates with the conveying channel 150. When the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y, the blocked ice cubes in the ice transfer part 110 can be sent back to the conveying channel 150 for falling into the ice transfer part 110 again. Or, the ice outlet end of the return ice channel 160 communicates with the ice making assembly 200. When the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y, the blocked ice cubes in the ice transfer part 110 can be sent back to the ice making assembly 200. Specifically, the return ice channel 160 communicates with the ice storage box of the ice making assembly 200.

[0086] In some embodiments, the ice transfer portion 110 includes a power storage area 114. The inner wall of the power storage area 114 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130. The main rotating member 130 rotates along the first main rotation direction X to enable the ice cube to pass through the ice transfer inlet 111, the power storage area 114, and the ice transfer outlet 113 in sequence and then enter the ice transfer channel 120. When the ice cube enters the ice transfer inlet 111, since the inner wall of the power storage area 114 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130, the main rotating member 130 can grasp the ice cube and carry it to rotate a sufficient angle along the first main rotation direction X. The ice cube obtains sufficient acceleration. When the ice cube continues to rotate until it breaks away from the power storage area 114 and corresponds to the ice transfer outlet 113, the ice cube loses the outer periphery constraint and has sufficient speed to move towards the ice transfer channel 120. The ice cube moves along the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300. By providing the power storage area 114, the ice cube can obtain sufficient initial velocity after being fully accelerated, which is beneficial for the ice cube to pass through the ice transfer channel 120. It should be noted that by adjusting the setting range of the power storage area 114, the size and rotation speed of the main rotating member 130, the initial velocity obtained by the ice cube after passing through the power storage area 114 can be changed. By adjusting various parameters, the ice cube can pass through the ice transfer channel 120 at an appropriate speed, ensuring that the ice cube can enter the ice taking assembly 300 through the ice transfer channel 120 at a certain speed, and the speed of the ice cube will not be too large to cause collision noise. Similarly, when the ice cube that has not reached the ice taking assembly 300 falls back into the ice transfer portion 110 along the ice transfer channel 120, the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y to enable the ice cube to enter the ice return channel 160 through the ice transfer ice return port 119 from the power storage area 114. By providing the power storage area 114, when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y, the ice cube can also be thrown towards the ice return channel 160 through the ice transfer ice return port 119 after having a certain initial velocity.

[0087] It should be noted that during the process of the main rotating member 130 carrying the ice cube to rotate along the first main rotation direction X, the ice cube entering the ice transfer cavity 112 from the ice transfer inlet 111 may first pass through the ice transfer ice return port 119. However, at this time, the rotation angle of the ice cube with the main rotating member 130 is small and the obtained speed is low, so the ice cube will not break away from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer ice return port 119. When the ice cube continues to rotate with the main rotating member 130 until it corresponds to the ice transfer outlet 113, the ice cube obtains sufficient speed to break away from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer outlet 113. Similarly, during the process of the main rotating member 130 carrying the ice cube to rotate along the second main rotation direction Y, the ice cube may first pass through the ice transfer inlet 111. However, at this time, the rotation angle of the ice cube with the main rotating member 130 is small and the obtained speed is low, so the ice cube will not break away from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer inlet 111. When the ice cube continues to rotate with the main rotating member 130 until it corresponds to the ice transfer ice return port 119, the ice cube obtains sufficient speed to break away from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer ice return port 119.

[0088] In order to make the ice cubes more likely to pass through the ice transfer channel 120 smoothly and improve the success rate of ice transfer and ejection, in some embodiments, when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the first main rotation direction X, the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130 is used to define the first movement trajectory of the ice cubes. The tangent direction of the first movement trajectory corresponding to the connection between the energy storage area 114 and the ice transfer and ejection opening 113 is located within the ice transfer channel 120. Thus, when the main rotating member 130 rotates with the ice cubes to the connection between the energy storage area 114 and the ice transfer and ejection opening 113, the ice cubes are about to leave the energy storage area 114 and move towards the ice transfer and ejection opening 113. At this time, the movement direction of the ice cubes is within the ice transfer channel 120, and the ice cubes can move smoothly into the ice transfer channel 120 and pass through the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300 smoothly, and the success rate of the ice transfer device 100 ejecting the ice cubes is high. Specifically, the tangent direction of the first movement trajectory corresponding to the connection between the energy storage area 114 and the ice transfer and ejection opening 113 coincides with the extension direction of the ice transfer section 121 of the ice transfer channel 120, the moving resistance of the ice cubes within the ice transfer section 121 is smaller, and the power required for the main rotating member 130 to drive the ice cubes through the ice transfer channel 120 is smaller.

[0089] In order to make the ice cubes more likely to pass through the ice return channel 160 smoothly and improve the success rate of ice return and ejection, in some embodiments, when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y, the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130 is used to define the second movement trajectory of the ice cubes. The tangent direction of the second movement trajectory corresponding to the connection between the energy storage area 114 and the ice transfer and return opening 119 is located within the ice return channel 160. Thus, when the main rotating member 130 rotates with the ice cubes to the connection between the energy storage area 114 and the ice transfer and return opening 119, the ice cubes are about to leave the energy storage area 114 and move towards the ice transfer and return opening 119. At this time, the movement direction of the ice cubes is within the ice return channel 160, and the ice cubes can move smoothly into the ice return channel 160 and pass through the ice return channel 160 to the ice making assembly 200 smoothly, avoiding blockage of the ice transfer part 110. Specifically, the tangent direction of the second movement trajectory corresponding to the connection between the energy storage area 114 and the ice transfer and return opening 119 coincides with the extension direction of the ice return channel 160, the moving resistance of the ice cubes within the ice return channel 160 is smaller, and the power required for the main rotating member 130 to drive the ice cubes through the ice return channel 160 is smaller.

[0090] In some embodiments, the ice transfer device 100 further includes a first sensing member 171 and a second sensing member 172. The first sensing member 171 is disposed at the ice transfer inlet 111 or the conveying channel 150. The first sensing member 171 is used to sense the passing of the ice cubes, indicating that there are ice cubes entering the ice transfer cavity 112 at this time. The second sensing member 172 is disposed at the ice outlet end of the ice transfer channel 120. The second sensing member 172 is used to sense the passing of the ice cubes, indicating that there are ice cubes passing through the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300 smoothly at this time.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 shownFigure 14 It is a partial structural schematic diagram of the ice transfer component of another embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application. The ice transfer part 110 further includes a connection area 115 and a third sensing member 173. The inner wall of the connection area 115 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130. The connection area 115 is connected to the side of the ice transfer inlet 111 and the ice transfer outlet 113 away from the energy storage area 114. The third sensing member 173 is arranged in the connection area 115. The third sensing member 173 is used to sense the passing of ice cubes. When the third sensing member 173 senses the passing of ice cubes, it indicates that the main rotating member 130 does not throw the ice cubes towards the ice transfer outlet 113, and the ice cubes are forced to pass through the connection area 115. At this time, an ice blockage fault may occur. After the third sensing member 173 senses the passing of ice cubes, the ice making component 200 can be controlled to stop ice feeding, and at the same time, the main rotating member 130 can be controlled to rotate along the second main rotation direction Y, so as to throw the ice cubes blocked in the ice transfer cavity 112 towards the ice return channel 160, avoiding the occurrence of ice blockage.

[0092] Since the ice cubes are moving at a high speed during the ejection process, there may be friction and collision situations, so it is possible to generate broken ice in the cavity. The broken ice is relatively difficult to be ejected. As the broken ice accumulates more and more, it will affect the rotation of the main rotating member 130. In some embodiments, a through hole (not shown in the figure) communicating with the ice transfer cavity 112 is provided at the bottom of the ice transfer part 110. The ice transfer device 100 includes a collection member 175. The collection member 175 is arranged below the ice transfer part 110. The through hole allows the broken ice to pass through but does not allow the whole ice to pass through, and the collection member 175 receives the broken ice falling from the through hole. The collection member 175 and the ice transfer part 110 are jointly placed in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the user can take out and clean the collection member 175 by opening the first refrigeration compartment 12.

[0093] <Ice ejection method>

[0094] Please refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 It is an overall structural schematic diagram of the ice transfer device of another embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application.

[0095] The ice transfer assembly 101 includes a conveying channel 150, a sorting assembly 180, and an ejection assembly 190. The ice transfer channel 120 includes an ice outlet 1222, an ice inlet 1221, and an ejection area 1223. The ice outlet 1222 is located above the ice inlet 1221. The ejection area 1223 is located below the ice inlet 1221. The conveying channel 150 communicates with the ice transfer channel 120 through the ice inlet 1221. The sorting assembly 180 is disposed in the conveying channel 150 to convey ice cubes to the ice transfer channel 120 one by one. Since the ejection area 1223 is located below the ice inlet 1221, the sorting assembly 180 conveys ice cubes through the ice inlet 1221 one by one, and the ice cubes move from the ice inlet 1221 to the ejection area 1223 under the action of gravity. The ejection assembly 190 is disposed at one end of the ice transfer channel 120 away from the ice outlet 1222, and the ejection assembly 190 is used to drive a predetermined number of ice cubes located in the ejection area 1223 to eject towards the ice outlet 1222. Through the cooperation of the sorting assembly 180 and the ejection assembly 190, the sorting assembly 180 conveys ice cubes to the ice transfer channel 120 one by one, and the ejection assembly 190 drives a predetermined number of ice cubes located in the ejection area 1223 to eject towards the ice outlet 1222.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the sorting assembly 180, the conveying channel 150, and the ejection assembly 190 can be disposed in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the ice taking assembly 300 is located in the second refrigeration compartment 13 above the first refrigeration compartment 12. The ice transfer channel 120 extends from the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the second refrigeration compartment 13. Among them, the first refrigeration compartment 12 is a refrigerated compartment, and the second refrigeration compartment 13 is a freezer compartment. The sorting assembly 180 can communicate with the ice making assembly 200. The ejection assembly 190 drives the ice cubes to eject towards the ice outlet 1222. The ice cubes have a certain initial velocity, move from the ejection area 1223 towards the ice outlet 1222, and finally move along the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300. Since the ejection assembly 190 can continuously drive the ice cubes to eject at a certain speed, the ice cubes coming out of the ice making assembly 200 can be continuously and quickly ejected to the ice taking assembly 300. The ice cubes move quickly, the ice taking efficiency is high, rapid and continuous ice taking is realized, the waiting time for the user to take ice is short, and the ice cubes are not easy to melt, the quality of the ice cubes is high, and the ice cubes are not easy to melt and adhere to each other.

[0097] Through the ejection assembly 190, the ice cubes can be driven to eject, so that after the ice cubes obtain an initial velocity, they quickly move to the ice taking assembly 300. The ice cubes directly move from the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the ice taking assembly 300 of the second door body 15. The moving speed of the ice cubes is fast. Not only the ice taking efficiency is high, but also there is no need to set an evaporator for heat preservation of the ice cubes in the second refrigeration compartment 13, further improving the volume ratio of the second refrigeration compartment 13.

[0098] It should be noted that the predetermined number may be one, two or more, and the predetermined number matches the driving force of the ejection assembly 190. In order to ensure the success rate of ice ejection, the driving force of the ejection assembly 190 may drive more than the predetermined number of ice cubes to be ejected toward the ice outlet. The ejection assembly 190 may drive one ice cube, two ice cubes, or another number of ice cubes located in the ejection area 1223 to be ejected toward the ice outlet 1222 at a time.

[0099] Among them, the ejection assembly 190 includes a push plate 191 and an electromagnetic ejector 192. The push plate 191 is movably arranged in the ice moving channel 120 along the extension direction of the ice moving channel 120. The electromagnetic ejector 192 is arranged on the side of the push plate 191 away from the ice outlet 1222. The output end of the electromagnetic ejector 192 is connected to the push plate 191. The electromagnetic ejector 192 can drive the push plate 191 to eject a predetermined distance from the ejection area 1223 to the direction close to the ice outlet 1222. The ice cubes obtain a certain initial velocity under the push of the push plate 191, and then move toward the ice outlet 1222. The electromagnetic ejector 192 can also drive the push plate 191 back to the ejection area 1223. Specifically, the electromagnetic ejector 192 can control the ejection or retraction of the push plate 191 by turning on and off the current, and the ejection speed of the push plate 191 can be controlled by controlling the magnitude of the current, thereby adjusting the ejection speed of the ice cubes.

[0100] In some embodiments, the conveying channel 150 includes a conveying portion 152, a guide portion 153, and a funnel portion 154. The sorting assembly 180 is disposed on the conveying portion 152. The conveying portion 152 includes an inlet end 1521 and an outlet end 1522, and the outlet end 1522 is higher than the ice inlet 1221. The guide portion 153 connects the outlet end 1522 and the ice inlet 1221. The funnel portion 154 is disposed on the inlet end 1521 and is located above the inlet end 1521. The funnel portion 154 is used to receive ice cubes entering the conveying portion 152. Since the outlet end 1522 is higher than the ice inlet 1221, and the outlet end 1522 and the ice inlet 1221 are connected by the guide portion 153, under the action of gravity, the ice cubes can move from the outlet end 1522 to the ice inlet 1221 through the guide portion 153. The diameter of the funnel portion 154 gradually increases from one end of the funnel portion 154 connected to the conveying portion 152 to the end away from the conveying portion 152, so that the funnel portion 154 facilitates the ice cubes removed from the ice-making assembly 200 to enter the conveying channel 150, thereby improving the success rate of the ice cubes entering the conveying channel 150.

[0101] Further, the outlet end 1522 of the conveying part 152 is higher than the inlet end 1521 of the conveying part 152. Therefore, the sorting component 180 arranged in the conveying part 152 needs to convey the ice cubes at a lower position to a higher position. To a certain extent, the sorting component 180 can lift the height of the ice cubes, so that the ice cubes can be closer to the second refrigerating compartment 13, shorten the height that the ice cubes need to rise along the ice transfer channel 120, reduce the driving force required for the ejection component 190 to drive the ice cubes to rise, and improve the success rate of ice ejection.

[0102] There are various implementation structures for the sorting component 180 that can achieve conveying the ice cubes to the ice transfer channel 120 one by one. For example:

[0103] In some embodiments, the conveying part 152 is linear. The sorting component 180 includes a driving wheel set 181, a transmission belt 182, a partition 183, and a first power component (not shown in the figure). The driving wheel set 181 is arranged in the conveying part 152. The driving wheel set 181 includes at least two driving wheels 1811 arranged at intervals. The driving wheels 1811 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the conveying part 152. The driving wheels 1811 are rotatably supported on the conveying part 152. The transmission belt 182 is wound around the driving wheel set 181. The first power component drives the driving wheels 1811 to rotate, so that the transmission belt 182 is driven to move as the driving wheels 1811 rotate. A plurality of partitions 183 are arranged. The plurality of partitions 183 are arranged at intervals on the transmission belt 182. Each adjacent two partitions 183 are used to hold an ice cube. By arranging the partition 183, the ice cube is more likely to move along with the transmission belt 182 to the guiding connection part 153 under the push of the partition 183, which can improve the stability of the ice cube on the transmission belt 182. The partition 183 can also separate the ice cubes from each other to prevent the ice cubes from sticking to each other. When the ice cube moves to one end of the sorting component 180 close to the guiding connection part 153 along with the ice cube transmission belt 182, the partition 183 gradually rotates from above the transmission belt 182 to below the transmission belt 182. The ice cube loses the blocking effect of the partition 183 and falls into the guiding connection part 153 under the action of gravity, and moves along the guiding connection part 153 to the ice transfer channel 120. The rotation speed of the first power component driving the driving wheels 1811 can be adaptively adjusted according to the speed at which the ejection component 190 drives the ice cube to eject out of the ice transfer channel 120.

[0104] In some embodiments, the ice transfer channel 120 includes an ice transfer section 121 and a guiding section 122. The ejection area 1223 and the ice inlet 1221 are provided in the ice transfer section 121. The ice transfer section 121 communicates with the conveying channel 150 through the ice inlet 1221. The guiding section 122 communicates with the ice transfer section 121 and is bent toward one side for guiding to the ice taking assembly 300. When the ice block moves in the ice transfer section 121, the ice block rises a sufficient distance along the ice transfer section 121; the guiding section 122 is used to turn and communicate with the ice taking assembly 300. When the ice block moves to the guiding section 122, the ice block has risen a sufficient distance. The guiding section 122 is used to change the moving direction of the ice block so that it moves toward the ice taking assembly 300. The transition between the ice transfer section 121 and the guiding section 122 is smooth.

[0105] Specifically, the ice transfer section 121 can be arranged in the vertical direction to shorten the rising distance of the ice block along the ice transfer section 121. Of course, the ice transfer section 121 can also extend in a direction with a small angle to the vertical direction; or, the ice transfer channel 120 can be arc-shaped as a whole. The ice transfer channel 120 is used to extend from the ice outlet 1222 of the ice transfer to the ice taking assembly 300 to ensure that the ice block can rise stably and communicate with the ice taking assembly 300.

[0106] Specifically, the included angle between the extending directions at the connection between the guiding section 122 and the ice transfer section 121 is greater than 90° and less than 180°, so as to prevent the ice block from falling back into the ice transfer section 121 due to too large a turning angle when entering the guiding section 122 from the ice transfer section 121, and ensure that the ice block can smoothly pass through the ice transfer channel and move to the ice taking assembly 300.

[0107] In order to ensure that the sorting assembly 180 smoothly conveys the ice block into the ice transfer channel 120, the ice transfer device 100 further includes a first sensing member 1224. The first sensing member 1224 is arranged at the ice inlet 1221. The first sensing member 1224 is used to sense the passing of the ice block, indicating that there is an ice block entering the ice transfer cavity at this time. After the first sensing member 1224 senses the passing of the ice block, the ice block falls to the ejection area 1223 through the ice inlet 1221, and the ejection assembly 190 can prepare for an ejection operation to drive the ice block located in the ejection area 1223 to eject toward the ice outlet 1222.

[0108] To ensure that the ejection assembly 190 smoothly ejects the ice cubes from the ice outlet 1222 of the ice transfer channel 120, in some embodiments, the ice transfer device 100 further includes a second sensing member 1225. The second sensing member 1225 is disposed at the ice outlet 1222. The second sensing member 1225 is used to sense the passing of the ice cubes, indicating that the ice cubes have successfully passed through the ice transfer channel 120 and moved to the ice taking assembly 300. After the second sensing member 1225 senses the passing of the ice cubes, the sorting assembly 180 can continue to convey ice cubes to the ice transfer channel 120, and the ejection assembly 190 can prepare for the next ice ejection operation; when the ejection assembly 190 performs an ice ejection operation and the second sensing member 1225 does not sense the passing of the ice cubes all the time, it means that the ice cubes have fallen back into the ejection area 1223 along the ice transfer channel 120 instead of passing through the ice outlet 1222 after being ejected. At this time, a blockage fault may occur. The sorting assembly 180 can be controlled to suspend ice feeding, and the ejection assembly 190 can be controlled to perform an ice ejection operation again to eject the ice cubes that have not been successfully ejected.

[0109] In still other embodiments, the ice transfer device 100 further includes a weight sensor. The weight sensor is disposed on the push plate 191. If the ice cubes enter the ice transfer channel 120 and fall onto the push plate 191, the weight sensor can sense the change in the ice cubes, and the ejection assembly 190 can prepare for an ice ejection operation to drive the ice cubes in the ejection area 1223 to eject towards the ice outlet 1222; if the ice cubes do not pass through the ice outlet 1222 but still fall back into the ejection area 1223 along the ice transfer channel 120 after the ejection assembly 190 ejects the ice cubes towards the ice outlet 1222, the weight sensor can sense the weight change again, and then control the sorting assembly 180 to suspend ice feeding, and control the ejection assembly 190 to perform an ice ejection operation again to eject the ice cubes that have not been successfully ejected.

[0110] The first sensing member 1224 can be used in cooperation with the second sensing member 1225 or the weight sensor to accurately detect the state of the ice cubes in the ice transfer device 100.

[0111] The above embodiments specifically illustrate several realizable ways of the structure of the ice transfer assembly 101. The following specifically describes the ice transfer channel 120 of the present application:

[0112] Please continue to refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the ice transfer channel disposed on the door bodies of the first refrigeration compartment and the second refrigeration compartment in another embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application. By disposing the first sub-channel 123 on the first door body 14 and the second sub-channel 124 on the second door body 15, the internal spaces of the first refrigeration compartment 12 and the second refrigeration compartment 13 are not occupied, the volume ratio of the refrigeration device 10 is increased, and no additional protrusions are added to the appearance of the refrigeration device 10, optimizing the appearance.

[0113] In some embodiments, the first door body 14 is rotatably arranged on the box body 11. In other embodiments, the first refrigerating compartment 12 includes a first drawer which is slidably arranged on the box body 11, and the first door body 14 is fixed to the first drawer. When the ice transfer part 110 is arranged on the first door body 14, during the process of the first door body 14 being rotated or pushed and pulled to open or close, the ice transfer part 110 and the ice transfer channel 120 located on the first door body 14 will move along with the first door body 14. At this time, the first sub-channel 123 is misaligned with the second sub-channel 124 as the first door body 14 is opened, and after the first door body 14 is closed, the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 can be arranged opposite to each other, without affecting the passing effect of the ice cubes.

[0114] When the refrigeration device 10 is a refrigeration device 10 with double doors, the second door body 15 includes two second sub-door bodies which are relatively narrow. The positions where the second sub-door bodies can be provided with the ice taking assembly 300 are limited. Moreover, since the ice making assembly 200 is located near one side wall and the ice transfer part 110 is located on the first door body 14, in order to facilitate the docking of the ice transfer channel 120 and make the ice cubes ejected from the ice transfer part 110 into the ice transfer channel 120 more likely to rise along the ice transfer channel 120, the second sub-channel 124 of the ice transfer channel 120 is located on the side of the ice taking assembly 300 close to the rotation axis of the second door body 15. At this time, in cooperation with the setting position of the ice transfer part 110, the second sub-channel 124 and the first sub-channel 123 are linearly connected, which is more conducive to the ice cubes moving through the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300.

[0115] Certainly, in some single-door refrigerators, the second door body 15 is a single door body with a relatively wide width, and there are more spaces where the ice taking assembly 300 can be arranged. The second sub-channel 124 of the ice transfer channel 120 can be selectively arranged on the side of the ice taking assembly 300 far from or close to the rotation axis of the second door body 15. At this time, in cooperation with the setting position of the ice transfer part 110, the second sub-channel 124 and the first sub-channel 123 are linearly connected, which is more conducive to the ice cubes moving through the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300.

[0116] Certainly, the ice transfer channel 120 can also be arranged at other positions of the refrigeration device 10 in cooperation with the structure of the box body 11 or the positions of other components such as the ice transfer part 110, which is not limited herein.
