[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 refrigeration compartment 12 and the second refrigeration compartment 13 are formed in the box body 11 and have an opening on one side. 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. The ice-transferring channel 120 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 move 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 in the second refrigeration compartment 13 located above, so as to facilitate the user to take ice, improve 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 due to the ice-making assembly 200 being arranged in the second refrigeration compartment 13, saving costs and the space occupied by the second refrigeration compartment 13, and improving 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 the occupation of the space 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] However, due to the gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, the mutually close ends of the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 are exposed, resulting in problems such as ice cube movement jamming, foreign matter entry, and cold quantity loss. Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 3 is the overall structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the door body assembly of the present application; Figure 4 is the state schematic diagram of the sealing member covering the ice-transporting opening in an embodiment of the door body assembly of the present application; Figure 5It is a schematic diagram of the state where the seal of an embodiment of the door body assembly of the present application is disengaged from the ice transporting opening; Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of the state where the movable passage of an embodiment of the door body assembly of the present application extends out of the ice transporting opening.

[0040] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a door body assembly 500. The door body assembly 500 includes a door body 510, an ice transporting passage 520, a movable passage 540, a first driving member 555, a seal 530, a first engaging portion 5524, a second engaging portion 5525, and a reset member 162. Among them, one end of the door body 510 has an ice transporting opening 511. The ice transporting passage 520 is disposed in the door body 510 and extends in the direction of the ice transporting opening 511. The movable passage 540 is movably disposed in the ice transporting passage 520 along a first direction A and is communicated with the ice transporting passage 520. The movable passage 540 can move to extend out of the ice transporting opening 511 or move to retract into the door body 510. The first driving member 555 is disposed on the door body 510 and is used to drive the movable passage 540 to reciprocate along the first direction A. The seal 530 is movably disposed on the door body 510 along a second direction B. The seal 530 can movably cover the ice transporting opening 511 or can movably disengage from the ice transporting opening 511. The second direction B intersects the first direction A. The first engaging portion 5524 is disposed outside the movable passage 540, and the second engaging portion 5525 is disposed on the side of the seal 530 facing away from the ice transporting opening 511. During the process of the movable passage 540 moving in the direction of extending out of the ice transporting opening 511, the first engaging portion 5524 contacts and pushes the second engaging portion 5525 to move in the direction away from the ice transporting opening 511 and drives the seal 530 to move to disengage from the ice transporting opening 511. The reset member 162 is disposed on the seal 530. The reset member 162 can drive the seal 530 to move in the direction of the ice transporting opening 511 to cover the ice transporting opening 511.

[0041] As can be seen from the above structure, the movable channel 540 and the seal 530 are provided. When ice taking is not required, the movable channel 540 is movably retracted into the door body 510, and the seal 530 moves to cover the ice transporting opening 511, realizing the sealing of the movable channel 540 and the ice transporting channel 520, preventing sundries from entering through the exposed ice transporting opening 511. On the one hand, the anti-pollution effect can be achieved; on the other hand, part of the cold quantity loss can also be prevented. When ice taking is required, the movable channel 540 moves along the first direction A to extend out of the ice transporting opening 511 under the drive of the first driving member 555. At this time, the first engaging portion 5524 and the second engaging portion 5525 cooperate to drive the seal 530 to move along the second direction B to disengage from the ice transporting opening 511, which can reduce or fill the gap with the ice transferring channel 120 on another door body 510. The ice cubes do not need to be directly exposed to the external space, avoiding ice cube pollution and ice cube jamming, and ensuring that the ice cubes can pass smoothly. After the ice taking is completed, the movable channel 540 moves along the first direction A to be retracted into the door body 510 under the drive of the first driving member 555, and the seal 530 moves along the second direction B to cover the ice transporting opening 511 under the drive of the reset member 162, which can prevent sundries in the external space from entering the ice making assembly 200 through the ice transporting opening 511 and causing ice cube pollution.

[0042] It should be noted that the door body 510 in the door body assembly 500 of the embodiment of the present application can be the first door body 14, or the second door body 15, and even can be applicable to both the first door body 14 and the second door body 15 at the same time. When the door body 510 in the door body assembly 500 of the embodiment of the present application is the first door body 14, the ice transporting channel 520 is the first sub-channel 123, which is used to communicate with the ice transferring assembly 101, and the ice transporting opening 511 is located at the top of the first door body 14. At this time, since the moving direction of the ice cubes is from the ice transporting channel 520 to the movable channel 540, in order to avoid the collision of the ice cubes with the end of the movable channel 540 during the ice cube transportation, the movable channel 540 is sleeved outside the ice transporting channel 520 and is movably connected to the ice transporting channel 520, and the end face of the movable channel 540 will not form a step surface in the ice transporting channel 520, and the ice cubes pass smoothly. Of course, when the door body 510 in the door body assembly 500 of the embodiment of the present application is the second door body 15, the ice transporting channel 520 is the second sub-channel 124, which is used to communicate with the ice taking assembly 300, and the ice transporting opening 511 is located at the bottom of the second door body 15. At this time, since the moving direction of the ice cubes is from the movable channel 540 to the ice transporting channel 520, in order to avoid the collision with the end of the ice transporting channel 520 during the transportation, the movable channel 540 penetrates inside the ice transporting channel 520 and is movably connected to the ice transporting channel 520, and the end face of the ice transporting channel 520 will not form a step surface in the movable channel 540, and the ice cubes pass smoothly.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the first direction A is parallel to the extending direction of the ice transportation channel 520. The first contact portion 5526 is provided on one side of the first mating portion 5524 that cooperates with the ice transportation port 511, and the second contact portion 5527 is provided on the side of the second mating portion 5525 facing away from the seal 530. At least one of the first contact portion 5526 and the second contact portion 5527 is inclined with respect to the radial cross-section of the movable channel 540, so as to decompose the thrust of the first mating portion 5524 on the second mating portion 5525 into a component force along the second direction B.

[0044] Specifically, since the first direction A is parallel to the extending direction of the ice transportation channel 520, at least one of the first contact portion 5526 and the second contact portion 5527 is inclined with respect to the radial cross-section of the movable channel 540, and the thrust of the first mating portion 5524 on the second mating portion 5525 can be decomposed into a component force along the second direction B. Therefore, when the first mating portion 5524 moves along the first direction A, it can drive the second mating portion 5525 to move along the second direction B, so that the seal 530 is separated from the ice transportation port 511, realizing the extension of the movable channel 540 out of the ice transportation port 511. At this time, there is no need to additionally provide a driving structure to drive the seal 530 to move along the second direction B, and fewer power components are required. Therefore, its structure is simpler, the space inside the door body 510 can be effectively saved, and the user experience can be improved.

[0045] Further, the first contact portion 5526 is an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the radial cross-section of the movable passage 540, and the first contact portion 5526 is inclined toward the moving direction of the sealing member 530 away from the ice delivery opening 511. The second contact portion 5527 is an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the radial cross-section of the movable passage 540, and the second contact portion 5527 is inclined toward the moving direction of the sealing member 530 close to the ice delivery opening 511. When the movable passage 540 moves to be retracted into the door body 510 and the sealing member 530 moves to cover the ice delivery opening 511, at least a part of the projections of the first contact portion 5526 and the second contact portion 5527 in the first direction A overlap. Specifically, when the movable passage 540 moves to extend out of the door body 510, the first contact portion 5526 contacts the second contact portion 5527. At this time, the force of the first contact portion 5526 on the second contact portion 5527 drives the second contact portion 5527 to move along the second direction B, thereby moving the sealing member 530 away from the ice delivery opening 511, realizing the extension of the movable passage 540 out of the ice delivery opening 511. When the movable passage 540 moves to be retracted into the door body 510, the reset member 162 drives the second contact portion 5527 to move along the second direction B until the sealing member 530 covers the ice delivery opening 511. Through the acting force of the first contact portion 5526 on the second contact portion 5527, the movable passage 540 can extend out of the ice delivery opening 511 along the first direction A and the sealing member 530 can be separated from the ice delivery opening 511. At this time, there is no need to use multiple driving structures to drive the movement of the sealing member 530 along the second direction B, the overall structure can be simpler, the space occupied inside the door body is smaller, and thus the user experience can be effectively improved.

[0046] Meanwhile, the sealing member 530 only moves along one side, and the space occupied by the side of the movable passage 540 without the sealing member 530 is relatively small, which can effectively match the space structure of the door body 510. For example, when it is necessary to arrange the ice delivery passage 520 and the movable passage 540 close to the rotation axis side of the door body 510, the space occupied by the side of the movable passage 540 without the sealing member 530 is relatively small and can be arranged relatively closer to the rotation axis.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the reset member 162 includes a reset elastic member 1621 and a sliding rod 1622. The reset elastic member 1621 is disposed on the side of the seal 530 away from the ice transport port 511. In the process of the first matching portion 5524 pushing the seal 530 to move away from the ice transport port 511, the reset elastic member 1621 is compressed and stores energy. In the process of the movable channel 540 being retracted into the door body 510, the reset elastic member 1621 restores its deformation and pushes the seal 530 to move toward the ice transport port 511. The sliding rod 1622 is inserted into the reset elastic member 1621. One end of the sliding rod 1622 away from the seal 530 is relatively fixed to the reset elastic member 1621. One end of the sliding rod 1622 close to the seal 530 is inserted into the seal 530. Specifically, when the first matching part 5524 pushes the second matching part 5525 to move along the second direction B until the sealing part 530 is separated from the ice transport port 511, the resetting elastic part 1621 is compressed by the sealing part 530 to store energy. At this time, when the sealing part 530 moves to separate from the ice transport port 511, the sliding rod 1622 is inserted into the sealing part 530 to avoid the resetting elastic part 1621 from being offset during the compression process, resulting in the failure of the resetting elastic part 1621 to store energy. When the first driving part 555 drives the first matching part 5524 to move along the first direction A until the movable channel 540 is retracted into the door body 510, the resetting elastic part 1621 recovers its deformation, thereby giving the second matching part 5525 power along the second direction B, so as to push the second matching part 5525 to move along the second direction B until the sealing part 530 covers the ice transport port 511. At this time, the distance that the sliding rod 1622 penetrates in the sealing member 530 becomes shorter and shorter. However, when the sealing member 530 completely covers the ice transport port 511 and stops moving, the end of the sliding rod 1622 close to the sealing member 530 is still penetrated in the sealing member 530, that is, the sliding rod 1622 will not be completely separated from the sealing member 530. Therefore, when the sealing member 530 is moving, the sliding rod 1622 can always penetrate in the sealing member 530, so as to avoid the sliding rod 1622 abutting against the sealing member 530, which causes the sliding rod 1622 to be unable to penetrate in the sealing member 530 and causes the energy storage failure of the reset elastic member 1621.

[0048] It should be noted that the reset elastic member 1621 may be a spring, a spring, or a torsion spring, which is not limited here.

[0049] Further, the first driving member 555 includes a first rack 3321, a first gear 5551, and a driving member (not shown in the figure). Among them, the first rack 3321 is arranged outside the movable channel 540 along the first direction A. The first gear 5551 is rotatably arranged in the door body 510, and the first gear 5551 meshes with the first rack 3321. The output end of the driving member is connected to the first gear 5551 and is used to drive the first gear 5551 to rotate. By driving the first gear 5551 to rotate forward and backward, the reciprocating movement of the first rack 3321 along the first direction A can be realized, and then the movable channel 540 can be driven to extend out of the ice delivery port 511 or retract into the door body 510. Moreover, the structure of the first driving member 555 is relatively simple, which can effectively save the space inside the door body 510.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, the door body assembly 500 includes a bottom plate 553, a cover plate 5513, and a shell plate 556. Among them, the bottom plate 553 is arranged at the end of the door body 510 having the ice delivery port 511. The bottom plate 553 is provided with a bottom plate opening 5531 corresponding to the ice delivery port 511. The cover plate 5513 is covered on the bottom plate 553. The cover plate 5513 and the bottom plate 553 enclose a first space. The sealing member 530 is movably arranged in the first space along the second direction B. The cover plate 5513 is provided with a cover plate opening 5514 corresponding to the opening of the bottom plate 553. The shell plate 556 is arranged at one end of the cover plate 5513. A second space is formed inside the shell plate 556, and the second space communicates with the cover plate opening 5514. The first matching portion 5524 is movably arranged in the second space along the first direction A, and the first space is located on one side of the second space. Wherein the cover plate opening 5514 corresponds to the bottom plate opening 5531, and the second space communicates with the cover plate opening 5514, which can make the movement of the first matching portion 5524 and the movable channel 540 along the first direction A smoother. The first space formed by the cover plate 5513 and the bottom plate 553 can prevent the sealing member 530 from displacing in other directions, and thus can play a certain limiting role in the movement of the sealing member 530 in the second direction B. The second space formed inside the shell plate 556 can prevent the first matching portion 5524 from displacing in other directions, and thus can play a certain limiting role in the movement of the first matching portion 5524 along the first direction A.

[0051] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the bottom plate 553 can be a structure integrally formed with the door body 510, that is, composed of the end plate on one side of the door body 510, or the bottom plate 553 can also be additionally attached and installed on the inner wall of the end plate of the door body 510, which is not limited here.

[0052] Further, sliding grooves 5515 extending in the second direction B are formed on the opposite side walls inside the cover plate 5513. The seal 530 includes a seal body 531 and a sliding seat 532. The seal body 531 is used to movably cover the ice transport opening 511. The sliding seats 532 are arranged on both sides of the seal body 531 facing the sliding grooves 5515. The sliding seats 532 are movably arranged in the sliding grooves 5515. The arrangement of the sliding grooves 5515 can limit the movement of the sliding seats 532 in the second direction B, preventing the deviation of the sliding seats 532 from causing the seal 530 to be unable to move in the second direction B.

[0053] In order to further reduce the friction between the sliding seats 532 and the sliding grooves 5515, in some embodiments, the seal 530 further includes guide wheels 557. The guide wheels 557 are rotatably arranged on the sliding seats 532. At this time, the friction between the sliding seats 532 and the sliding grooves 5515 changes from sliding friction to rolling friction, and the friction is reduced. Therefore, the movement between the sliding seats 532 and the sliding grooves 5515 is smoother. Furthermore, the movement between the seal 530 and the cover plate 5513 is also more labor-saving and smooth.

[0054] In order for the moving passage 540 to move into place, in some embodiments, a limiting groove (not shown in the figure) extending in the first direction A is formed inside the housing plate 556, and a limiting block (not shown in the figure) is arranged outside the moving passage 540, and the limiting block slides along the limiting groove. When the moving passage 540 moves to the first position where it extends out of the ice transport opening 511, the limiting block is located at one end of the limiting groove. When the moving passage 540 moves to the second position where it retracts into the door body 510, the limiting block is located at the other end of the limiting groove. Specifically, when the limiting block abuts against the end of the limiting groove close to the seal 530, it indicates that the moving passage 540 has extended out of the ice transport opening 511, and at this time, the movement stops. When the limiting block abuts against the end of the limiting groove away from the seal 530, it indicates that the moving passage 540 has completely retracted into the door body 510, and at this time, the movement stops. The limiting block slides along the limiting groove. On the one hand, the limiting groove can play a certain limiting role on the limiting block, so as to prevent the moving passage 540 from rotating; on the other hand, the limiting block can also play a certain limiting role on the moving position of the moving passage 540.

[0055] The above embodiments provide a specific implementation manner of a seal 530 and a corresponding driving structure. In the above embodiments, the asynchronous movement of the moving passage 540 and the seal 530 can be realized through the first engaging portion 5524, the second engaging portion 5525 and the reset member 162. The seal 530 only moves along one side, occupying a small space on the other side of the moving passage 540, and thus can effectively match the spatial structure of the door body 510. Please continue to refer to Figures 8 to 10 , Figure 8It is a schematic diagram of the state where the seal of another embodiment of the door body assembly of the present application covers the ice conveying port; Figure 9 It is a schematic diagram of the state where the seal of another embodiment of the door body assembly of the present application disengages from the ice conveying port; Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram of the state where the movable channel of another embodiment of the door body assembly of the present application extends out of the ice conveying port.

[0056] Another embodiment of the present application provides a seal 530. There are two seals 530. The two seals 530 are relatively movably arranged along the second direction B on the second door body 15. The two seals 530 can move towards each other to cover the ice conveying port 511, or can move away from each other to disengage from the ice conveying port 511. Specifically, when the first driving member 555 drives the movable channel 540 to move along the first direction A to extend out of the ice conveying port 511, the seals 530 move away from each other along the second direction B to disengage from the ice conveying port 511. When the first driving member 555 drives the movable channel 540 to move along the second direction B to retract into the door body 510, the seals 530 move towards each other along the second direction B to cover the ice conveying port 511. At this time, on the one hand, this structure can effectively reduce the movement stroke of the seals 530, thereby effectively increasing the movement reliability of this structure and improving the efficiency of the seals 530 moving to cover and moving away from the ice conveying port 511.

[0057] From the above structure, it can be seen that by providing the movable channel 540 and two seals 530, when there is no need to take ice, the movable channel 540 moves and retracts into the door body 510, and the two seals 530 move towards each other to cover the ice conveying port 511, realizing the sealing of the movable channel 540 and the ice conveying channel 520, preventing sundries from entering through the exposed ice conveying port 511. On the one hand, it can achieve the effect of anti-pollution; on the other hand, it can also prevent part of the cold quantity from dissipating. When it is necessary to take ice, the movable channel 540 is driven by the first driving member 555 to move along the first direction A to extend out of the ice conveying port 511. At this time, the first engaging portion 5524 and the second engaging portion 5525 cooperate to drive the seals 530 to move away from each other along the second direction B to disengage from the ice conveying port 511, which can reduce or fill the gap with the ice transferring channel 120 on the other door body 510. The ice cubes do not need to be directly exposed to the external space, avoiding ice cube pollution and ice cube jamming, and ensuring that the ice cubes can pass smoothly. When the ice taking is over, the movable channel 540 is driven by the first driving member 555 to move along the first direction A to retract into the door body 510, and the seals 530 are driven by the reset member 162 to move towards each other along the second direction B to cover the ice conveying port 511, which can prevent sundries in the external space from entering the ice making assembly 200 through the ice conveying port 511 and causing ice cube pollution.

[0058] Further, there are two second engaging portions 5525. Each second engaging portion 5525 is correspondingly disposed on the side of the seal 530 facing away from the ice conveying port 511. During the process of the movable passage 540 moving in the direction of extending out of the ice conveying port 511, the first engaging portion 5524 contacts and pushes the two second engaging portions 5525 to move away from each other, and drives the two seals 530 to move away from each other until they are separated from the ice conveying port 511. Specifically, when the first driving member 555 drives the movable passage 540 to move in the direction of extending out of the ice conveying port 511, the first engaging portion 5524 contacts the two second engaging portions 5525 and pushes the two second engaging portions 5525 to move away from each other, and the movement of the two second engaging portions 5525 away from each other can further drive the two seals 530 to move away from each other. At this time, the movable passage 540 can smoothly extend out of the ice conveying port 511. When the first driving member 555 drives the movable passage 540 to retract into the door body 510, the first driving member 555 drives the movable passage 540 to move along the first direction A until the movable passage 540 retracts into the door body 510. Under the action of the reset member 162, the two seals 530 respectively obtain two forces to move towards each other along the second direction B, so as to drive the two seals 530 to move towards each other to cover the ice conveying port 511. Further, the two second engaging portions 5525 move towards each other under the action of the two seals 530. The arrangements of the two seals 530 and the two second engaging portions 5525 can effectively reduce the movement stroke of the seals 530, and further effectively increase the movement reliability of this structure, and improve the efficiency of the seals 530 moving to cover and moving away from the ice conveying port 511.

[0059] In yet another embodiment of the present application, the first direction A is parallel to the extending direction of the ice transportation channel 520. The first engaging portion 5524 has two first contact portions 5526 facing the ice transportation port 511. The second engaging portion 5525 has a second contact portion 5527 on the side facing away from the seal 530. At least one of the second contact portion 5527 and the second contact portion 5527 is inclined with respect to the radial cross-section of the movable channel 540, thereby decomposing the thrust of the first engaging portion 5524 on the second engaging portion 5525 into a component force along the second direction B. Specifically, when the movable channel 540 moves along the first direction A to extend out of the ice transportation port 511, as the movable channel 540 continuously moves along the first direction A to extend out of the ice transportation port 511, the acting force of the two first contact portions 5526 on the second contact portion 5527 when the two first contact portions 5526 abut against the second contact portion 5527 drives the two second engaging portions 5525 to move away from each other so that the seal 530 moves to disengage from the ice transportation port 511. When the ice taking is completed, during the process that the first driving member 555 drives the movable channel 540 to move along the first direction A to retract into the door body 510, due to the elastic action of the reset member 162, the two second engaging portions 5525 move along the second direction B to cover the ice transportation port 511 with the seal 530. At this time, with the arrangement of this structure, there is no need to adopt other driving structures to drive the reciprocating movement of the seal 530, thereby reducing the use of power components, being simpler in structure, and effectively improving the user experience. Moreover, the two seals 530 moving towards each other or moving away from each other can also reduce the movement stroke of the seal 530 in the single-side direction of the movable channel 540, thereby increasing the movement reliability of this structure.

[0060] Furthermore, both of the two first contact portions 5526 are inclined surfaces that are inclined with respect to the radial cross-section of the movable channel 540, and both of the two first contact portions 5526 are inclined toward the moving direction of the corresponding seal 530 away from the ice delivery opening 511. Both of the two second contact portions 5527 are inclined surfaces that are inclined with respect to the radial cross-section of the movable channel 540, and both of the two second contact portions 5527 are inclined toward the moving direction of the corresponding seal 530 close to the ice delivery opening 511. When the movable channel 540 moves to be retracted into the door body 510 and the seal 530 moves to cover the ice delivery opening 511, the projections of the first contact portion 5526 and the corresponding second contact portion 5527 in the first direction A at least partially overlap. At this time, the two second contact portions 5527 are respectively in contact with the two first contact portions 5526. When the movable channel 540 moves to extend out of the ice delivery opening 511, the two first contact portions 5526 are in contact with the two second contact portions 5527. The acting force of the first contact portion 5526 on the second contact portion 5527 pushes the two second contact portions 5527 to move away from each other in the second direction B, thereby causing the seal 530 to disengage from the ice delivery opening 511. When the first driving member 555 drives the movable channel 540 to move to be retracted into the door body 510, at this time, the two second contact portions 5527 move toward each other in the second direction B under the action of the reset member 162 until the seal 530 covers the ice delivery opening 511. On the one hand, this process can disperse the acting force of the first engaging portion 5524 to the two first contact portions 5526, so that the force borne by the first contact portion 5526 is smaller; on the other hand, it can also effectively reduce the movement stroke of the seal 530 to increase the movement reliability of this structure. At the same time, there is no need to use other driving structures to drive the seal 530 to move in the second direction B. Therefore, the number of power components can be effectively reduced. At this time, this structure is relatively simple, can increase the space inside the door body 510, and thus improve the user experience.

[0061] In another embodiment of the present application, the reset member 162 includes a reset elastic member 1621 and a sliding rod 1622. Among them, two reset elastic members 1621 are provided. The two reset elastic members 1621 are respectively arranged on the side of the corresponding sealing member 530 away from the ice transport port 511. In the process of the first matching portion 5524 pushing the two sealing members 530 to move away from the ice transport port 511, the two reset elastic members 1621 are compressed to store energy, and in the process of the movable channel 540 moving back into the door body 510, the two reset elastic members 1621 restore the deformation and push the two sealing members 530 to move toward each other. The sliding rod 1622 is inserted into the reset elastic member 1621, and the end of the sliding rod 1622 away from the sealing member 530 is relatively fixed to the reset elastic member 1621. The end of the sliding rod 1622 close to the sealing member 530 is inserted into the sealing member 530. Specifically, when the first matching portion 5524 pushes the two sealing members 530 to move away from the ice transport port 511, the first matching portion 5524 pushes the second matching portion 5525 to move away from each other along the second direction B along the first direction A, and then the two sealing members 530 move away from each other along the second direction B. During the movement of the sealing members 530 away from each other, the sliding rod 1622 is located in the sealing members 530. At this time, the two reset elastic members 1621 are compressed and store energy. Since the sliding rod 1622 is always arranged in the sealing member 530, the reset elastic member 1621 will not generate displacement in other directions during the compression process. The sliding rod 1622 can limit the reset elastic member 1621 to a certain extent to ensure the smoothness of the movement. When the movable channel 540 moves to be retracted into the door body 510, the two reset elastic members 1621 recover their deformation, generate two elastic forces in the second direction B, and then push the second matching portion 5525 to move in the second direction B. At this time, the seal 530 moves in the second direction B to cover the ice transport port 511, and the end of the sliding rod 1622 close to the sealing member 530 is still inserted into the sealing member 530, that is, the sliding rod 1622 will not completely separate from the sealing member 530. Therefore, during the movement of the sealing member 530, the sliding rod 1622 is always inserted into the sealing member 530 to avoid the reset elastic member 1621 from being displaced in a certain direction other than the second direction B during the movement of the sealing member 530, resulting in its energy storage failure. Therefore, this structure can ensure the reliability of the movement of the sealing member 530 and the movable channel 540.

[0062] To avoid personal injury, in some embodiments, the refrigeration device further includes a baffle 538. The baffle 538 is disposed at one end of the second door body 15 having an ice conveying opening 511, and the baffle 538 is located on the side of the second door body 15 away from the cabinet 11, and the baffle 538 is provided corresponding to the ice conveying opening 511. The setting of the baffle 538, on the one hand, can prevent the user from reaching their hand into the docking portion of the moving passage 540 and the ice conveying opening 511, avoiding the occurrence of personal injury; on the other hand, it also prevents the user from bringing some debris and other objects to the ice conveying opening 511 during the operation process, so as to cause ice contamination.

[0063] The above embodiments specifically describe the door body assembly 500. The following introduces the ice moving assembly 101 in the refrigeration device 10. The ice moving assembly 101 can accelerate the ice cubes by means of projection, ejection, etc., so as to provide power to ensure that the ice cubes smoothly pass through the ice moving passage 120. The specific structure of the ice moving assembly 101 has multiple implementation manners, and the following lists several manners:

[0064] <Ice throwing method>

[0065] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 which is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of an embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application. The ice moving assembly 101 includes an ice moving part 110 and a main rotating part 130. Among them, an ice moving inlet 111, an ice moving cavity 112 and an ice moving outlet 113 that communicate with each other are formed in the ice moving part 110. Among them, the ice moving passage 120 communicates with the ice moving cavity 112 through the ice moving outlet 113. The main rotating part 130 is rotatably disposed in the ice moving cavity 112. The ice moving inlet 111 and the ice moving 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 moving cavity 112 from the ice moving inlet 111 and throw them from the ice moving outlet 113 to the ice moving passage 120.

[0066] In this application, the ice transfer part 110 of the ice transfer assembly 101 can be arranged in the first refrigerating compartment 12, the ice taking assembly 300 is located on the second door body 15 above the first refrigerating compartment 12, and 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. 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 adhere to each other.

[0067] 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 keeping the cold of the ice cubes in the second refrigerating compartment 13, further improving the volume ratio of the second refrigerating compartment 13.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 shown, 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.

[0069] With the ice transfer device 100 of the present application, the size of the ice cubes is within a predetermined range. The main rotating member 130 rotates along the first main rotation direction X at a predetermined speed, and can usually smoothly carry the ice cubes and throw them from the ice transfer outlet 113 to the ice transfer channel 120, and the ice cubes finally smoothly move along the ice transfer channel 120 to the ice picking assembly 300. However, in some special cases, such as large variations in the size of the ice cubes, or relative displacement between the ice cubes and the main rotating member 130 during the rotation of the main rotating member 130 while carrying the ice cubes, and the ice cubes not obtaining the required initial velocity when the main rotating member 130 throws the ice cubes into the ice transfer channel 120, etc., all can cause the ice cubes to not 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, as Figure 12 shown, Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of another embodiment of the refrigeration device 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 to the return ice channel 160, and 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 blockage of the ice transfer part 110, and ensuring the normal operation of the ice transfer device 100.

[0070] Among them, the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 communicates with the ice making assembly 200, the ice outlet end of the conveying channel 150 communicates with the ice transfer part 110, and 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, and the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y to send the blocked ice cubes in the ice transfer part 110 back to the conveying channel 150 for falling back 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, and the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y to send the blocked ice cubes in the ice transfer part 110 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.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 12As shown, the ice transfer part 110 includes a storage area 114. The inner wall of the storage area 114 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating part 130. The main rotating part 130 rotates along the first main rotation direction X to make the ice cube pass through the ice transfer inlet 111, the 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 storage area 114 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating part 130, the main rotating part 130 can hold the ice cube firmly 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 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 setting the 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 storage area 114, the size and rotation speed of the main rotating part 130, the initial velocity obtained by the ice cube after passing through the 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 part 110 along the ice transfer channel 120, the main rotating part 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y to make the ice cube enter the return ice channel 160 through the ice transfer return ice port 119 from the storage area 114. By setting the storage area 114, when the main rotating part 130 rotates along the second main rotation direction Y, the ice cube can also be thrown towards the return ice channel 160 through the ice transfer return ice port 119 after having a certain initial velocity.

[0072] It should be noted that during the process of the main rotating part 130 carrying the ice cube and rotating along the first main rotation direction X, the ice cube entering the ice transfer cavity 112 from the ice transfer inlet 111 may pass through the ice transfer return ice port 119 first. However, at this time, the rotation angle of the ice cube with the main rotating part 130 is small and the obtained speed is low, so the ice cube will not break away from the main rotating part 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer return ice port 119. When the ice cube continues to rotate with the main rotating part 130 until it corresponds to the ice transfer outlet 113, the ice cube obtains sufficient speed to break away from the main rotating part 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer outlet 113. Similarly, during the process of the main rotating part 130 carrying the ice cube and rotating along the second main rotation direction Y, the ice cube may pass through the ice transfer inlet 111 first. However, at this time, the rotation angle of the ice cube with the main rotating part 130 is small and the obtained speed is low, so the ice cube will not break away from the main rotating part 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer inlet 111. When the ice cube continues to rotate with the main rotating part 130 until it corresponds to the ice transfer return ice port 119, the ice cube obtains sufficient speed to break away from the main rotating part 130 and be thrown towards the ice transfer return ice port 119.

[0073] In order to make the ice cubes more easily pass through the ice transfer channel 120 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 outlet 113 is located within the ice transfer channel 120. Thus, when the main rotating member 130 drives the ice cubes to rotate to the connection between the energy storage area 114 and the ice transfer outlet 113, the ice cubes are about to leave the energy storage area 114 and move towards the ice transfer outlet 113. At this time, the movement direction of the ice cubes is within the ice transfer channel 120, and the ice cubes can smoothly move into the ice transfer channel 120 and pass through the ice transfer channel 120 to move to the ice picking assembly 300, 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 outlet 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.

[0074] In order to make the ice cubes more easily pass through the ice return channel 160 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 drives the ice cubes to rotate 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 smoothly move into the ice return channel 160 and pass through the ice return channel 160 to move to the ice making assembly 200, 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.

[0075] 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 smoothly passing through the ice transfer channel 120 and moving to the ice picking assembly 300 at this time.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 13 shownFigure 13 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 failure 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 is controlled to rotate in 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 to avoid ice blockage.

[0077] Since the ice cubes are moving at 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 collecting member 175. The collecting 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 collecting member 175 receives the broken ice falling from the through hole. The collecting 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 collecting member 175 by opening the first refrigeration compartment 12.

[0078] <Ice ejection method>

[0079] Please refer to Figure 14 , Figure 14 It is an overall structural schematic diagram of the ice transfer device of another embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application.

[0080] 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 arranged 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 arranged 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.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the sorting assembly 180, the conveying channel 150, and the ejection assembly 190 can be arranged in the first refrigerating compartment 12, and 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 transferred from the first refrigerating compartment 12 to the second door body 15. 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 user's ice taking waiting time 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.

[0082] By driving the ice cubes to eject through the ejection assembly 190, the ice cubes can quickly move to the ice taking assembly 300 after obtaining the initial velocity. 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 cold preservation of the ice cubes in the second refrigerating compartment 13, further improving the volume ratio of the second refrigerating compartment 13.

[0083] 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.

[0084] 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] Further, the outlet end 1522 of the conveying part 152 is higher than the inlet end 1521 of the conveying part 152. Thus, the sorting component 180 disposed 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, enabling the ice cubes to be closer to the second refrigerating compartment 13, shortening the height that the ice cubes need to rise along the ice cube transfer channel 120, reducing the driving force required for the ejection component 190 to drive the ice cubes to rise, and improving the success rate of ice cube ejection.

[0087] There are various implementation structures for the sorting component 180 that realizes conveying the ice cubes to the ice cube transfer channel 120 one by one. For example:

[0088] 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 disposed in the conveying part 152. The driving wheel set 181 includes at least two driving wheels 1811 spaced apart. The driving wheels 1811 are spaced along the length direction of the conveying part 152. The driving wheels 1811 are rotatably supported by 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 provided. The plurality of partitions 183 are spaced apart on the transmission belt 182. Each adjacent two partitions 183 are used to hold one ice cube. By providing the partitions 183, the ice cubes are more likely to move along with the transmission belt 182 towards the guiding connection part 153 under the push of the partitions 183, which can improve the stability of the ice cubes on the transmission belt 182. The partitions 183 can also separate the ice cubes from each other, preventing the ice cubes from sticking to each other. When the ice cubes move with the ice cube transmission belt 182 to one end of the sorting component 180 close to the guiding connection part 153, the partitions 183 gradually rotate from above the transmission belt 182 to below the transmission belt 182. The ice cubes lose the blocking effect of the partitions 183 and fall into the guiding connection part 153 under the action of gravity, and move along the guiding connection part 153 to the ice cube 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 cubes to be ejected from the ice cube transfer channel 120.

[0089] 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 towards one side for guiding the ice to the ice taking assembly 300. When the ice moves in the ice transfer section 121, the ice rises a sufficient distance along the ice transfer section 121; the guiding section 122 is used for turning and communicating with the ice taking assembly 300. When the ice moves to the guiding section 122, the ice has risen a sufficient distance, and the guiding section 122 is used for changing the moving direction of the ice so that it moves towards the ice taking assembly 300. The transition between the ice transfer section 121 and the guiding section 122 is smooth.

[0090] Specifically, the ice transfer section 121 can be arranged in the vertical direction to shorten the distance that the ice rises along the ice transfer section 121. Of course, the ice transfer section 121 can also be arranged to 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, and the ice transfer channel 120 is used to extend from the ice outlet 1222 to the ice taking assembly 300 to ensure that the ice can rise stably and communicate with the ice taking assembly 300.

[0091] Specifically, the included angle between the extending direction 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 from falling back into the ice transfer section 121 due to too large a turning angle when the ice enters the guiding section 122 from the ice transfer section 121, and ensure that the ice can smoothly pass through the ice transfer channel and move to the ice taking assembly 300.

[0092] To ensure that the sorting assembly 180 smoothly conveys the ice 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, indicating that there is ice entering the ice transfer cavity at this time. After the first sensing member 1224 senses the passing of the ice, the ice falls into the ejection area 1223 through the ice inlet 1221, and the ejection assembly 190 can prepare for a single ejection operation to drive the ice located in the ejection area 1223 to eject towards the ice outlet 1222.

[0093] 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 passage 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 passage 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; after the ejection assembly 190 performs an ice ejection operation, if the second sensing member 1225 does not sense the passage of the ice cubes all the time, it indicates that the ice cubes have fallen back to the ejection area 1223 along the ice transfer channel 120 instead of passing through the ice outlet 1222. At this time, an ice blockage fault may occur. The sorting assembly 180 can be controlled to pause 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.

[0094] In still other embodiments, the ice transfer device 100 further includes a weight sensor (not shown in the figure). 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 after the ejection assembly 190 ejects the ice cubes towards the ice outlet 1222, the ice cubes do not pass through the ice outlet 1222 but still fall back to the ejection area 1223 along the ice transfer channel 120, the weight sensor can sense the weight change again, thereby controlling the sorting assembly 180 to pause ice feeding, and controlling the ejection assembly 190 to perform an ice ejection operation again to eject the ice cubes that have not been successfully ejected.

[0095] 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.

[0096] The above embodiments specifically illustrate several realizable ways of the structure of the ice transfer assembly 101. The following is a specific description of the ice transfer channel 120 of the present application:

[0097] Please continue to refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , Figure 15 is a schematic structural view of the ice transfer channel of another embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application disposed on the door bodies of the first refrigeration compartment and the second refrigeration compartment; Figure 16 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the ice transfer channel of another embodiment of the refrigeration device of the present application disposed on the door bodies of the first refrigeration compartment and the second refrigeration compartment.

[0098] The ice transfer part 110 is arranged on the first door body 14. The ice transfer channel 120 includes a first sub-channel 123 and a second sub-channel 124 which are connected in sequence. The first sub-channel 123 is arranged on the first door body 14, and the second sub-channel 124 is arranged on the second door body 15. The second sub-channel 124 communicates with the ice taking assembly 300, and the first sub-channel 123 also communicates with the ice transfer and discharging port 113 of the ice transfer part 110. The ice transfer assembly 101 can drive the ice cubes to be transferred out of the ice transfer channel 120, and the ice cubes enter the ice taking assembly 300 after passing through the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 in sequence.

[0099] By arranging 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 space of the first refrigerating chamber 12 and the second refrigerating chamber 13 is not occupied, the volume ratio of the refrigerating device 10 is increased, and no additional protrusion is added to the appearance of the refrigerating device 10, thus optimizing the appearance.

[0100] Since the first sub-channel 123 is located on the first door body 14 and the second sub-channel 124 is located on the second door body 15, there is a certain gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. The first door body 14 and / or the second door body 15 adopt the door body assembly 500 in the above embodiment. During the opening process of the first door body 14 and / or the second door body 15, the second sub-channel 124 is staggered from the first sub-channel 123, and when the first door body 14 and the second door body 15 are closed on the box body 11, the second sub-channel 124 is docked with the first sub-channel 123.

[0101] In addition, the ice transfer and inlet port 111 of the ice transfer part 110 is separated from the ice making assembly 200 as the first door body 14 is opened. After the first door body 14 is closed, the ice transfer and inlet port 111 can be buckled and docked with the ice discharging port of the ice making assembly 200, which does not affect the normal operation of the ice transfer part 110. To facilitate the docking of the ice transfer and inlet port 111 and the ice making assembly 200, the diameter of the ice transfer and inlet port 111 is larger than the diameter of the ice discharging port of the ice making assembly 200. When the first door body 14 is closed on the box body 11, the ice transfer and inlet port 111 is buckled outside the ice discharging port of the ice making assembly 200, which is conducive to the ice cubes entering the ice transfer and inlet port 111 through the ice discharging port of the ice making assembly 200. Among them, the ice discharging port of the ice making assembly 200 includes the ice discharging port of the ice storage box of the ice making assembly 200 or the ice discharging port of the conveying channel 150.

[0102] 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 transferring 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 transferring part 110 and the ice transferring 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 staggered from 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.

[0103] 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 close to one side wall and the ice transferring part 110 is located on the first door body 14, in order to facilitate the docking of the ice transferring channel 120 and make the ice cubes ejected from the ice transferring part 110 into the ice transferring channel 120 more likely to rise along the ice transferring channel 120, the second sub-channel 124 of the ice transferring 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 transferring 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 transferring channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300.

[0104] 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 transferring 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 transferring 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 transferring channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300.

[0105] Certainly, the ice transferring 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 transferring part 110, which is not limited herein.

[0106] It can be understood that the meaning of "a plurality of" in this text is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless there are specific restrictive descriptions. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.
