[0035] The present application provides an ice removal device 100. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an embodiment of the ice moving device provided in the present application; Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the ice moving device provided by the present application after the support plate is hidden; Figure 3 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the ice-moving device provided in the present application after the first side panel is hidden. The ice-moving device 100 is used for a refrigeration device 10. The ice-moving device includes an ice-moving portion 110, an ice-moving member 120, a first panel 1141 and a second panel 1151. The ice-moving portion 110 has an ice-moving cavity 111. The ice-moving portion 110 includes a first side panel 114 and a second side panel 115 that are arranged opposite to each other. The ice-moving member 120 can be rotatably arranged in the ice-moving cavity 111. The first panel 1141 is a part of the first side panel 114. The second panel 1151 is a part of the second side panel 115. The first panel 1141 is arranged on one side of the ice-moving member 120, and the second panel 1151 is arranged on the other side of the ice-moving member 120. The first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 rotate with the ice-moving member 120.

[0036] The plane where the first side plate 114 and the plane where the second side plate 115 are located are both perpendicular to the central axis of the ice moving member 120. The first side plate 114 and the second side plate 115 can be used as a part of the shell of the ice moving device 100. The shell of the ice moving device 100 serves as a basic carrier of the ice moving device 100 and plays a role in bearing and protecting the ice moving member 120 and other components of the ice moving device 100.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 to Figure 2The first side panel 114 includes a first panel 1141 and a first side panel body 1142. The first side panel body 1142 is arranged around the first panel 1141, and the first panel 1141 and the first side panel body 1142 are arranged at intervals, that is, the edge of the first panel 1141 close to the first side panel body 1142 and the edge of the first side panel body 1142 close to the first panel 1141 are spaced a certain distance apart, so that when the first panel 1141 rotates with the ice moving piece 120, the first panel 1141 will not interfere with the first side panel body 1142. The second side panel 115 includes a second panel 1151 and a second side panel body 1152. The second side panel body 1152 is arranged around the second panel 1151, and the second panel 1151 is spaced apart from the second side panel body 1152, that is, the edge of the second panel 1151 close to the second side panel body 1152 and the edge of the second side panel body 1152 close to the second panel 1151 are spaced apart by a certain distance, so that when the second panel 1151 rotates with the ice moving member 120, the second panel 1151 will not interfere with the second side panel body 1152. In some embodiments, the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 can be circular, and the centers of the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 are both located on the central axis of the ice moving member 120.

[0038] It should be noted that, during the movement of the ice-moving member 120, if any area of ​​the first side plate 114 and the second side plate 115 remains stationary, the ice-moving member 120 is likely to rub against the area where the first panel 1141 of the first side plate 114 is located and the area where the second panel 1151 of the second side plate 115 is located, resulting in damage to the ice-moving member 120, the first side plate 114 and / or the second side plate 115. Therefore, by providing the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151, the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 rotate with the ice-moving member 120, and the ice-moving member 120 will not rub against the first panel 1141 and / or the second panel 1151, thereby achieving the goal of preventing the ice-moving member 120 from rubbing against the first side plate 114 and / or the second side plate 115 without increasing the distance between the ice-moving member 120 and the first side plate 114 and between the ice-moving member 120 and the second side plate 115.

[0039] After the ice cubes enter the ice moving chamber 111, the contact between the ice cubes and the ice moving piece 120 will cause the ice moving piece 120 to deform, and then the ice moving piece 120 will contact the first panel 1141 and / or the second panel 1151. Since the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 rotate with the ice moving piece 120, the ice moving piece 120 will not rub against the first panel 1141 and / or the second panel 1151, which not only alleviates the wear of the ice moving piece 120, the first panel 1141 and / or the second panel 1151, but also reduces the friction noise.

[0040] In some embodiments, the ice moving part 110 further comprises an ice moving inlet 112 and an ice moving outlet 113 communicating with the ice moving cavity 111. The ice moving member 120 is used to rotate along the first direction X to drive the ice cubes entering the ice moving cavity 111 through the ice moving inlet 112 to be thrown toward the ice moving outlet 113.

[0041] The ice-moving member 120 is an ice-transporting member. The ice-moving member 120 is rotatably disposed in the ice-moving chamber 111. The ice-moving inlet 112 and the ice-moving outlet 113 are located on the periphery of the ice-moving member 120. The ice-moving member 120 is used to rotate along a first direction X, so as to drive the ice cubes entering the ice-moving chamber 111 from the ice-moving inlet 112 to be thrown toward the ice-moving outlet 113. For example, the ice-moving member 120 is used to carry the ice cubes entering the ice-moving chamber 111 from the ice-moving inlet 112 and rotate along the first direction X, and throw the ice cubes toward the ice-moving outlet 113, so that the ice cubes obtain a certain initial velocity and move from the ice-moving outlet 113 to the ice-removing assembly 200 (see Fig.10 Since the ice moving member 120 can rotate continuously at a certain speed, the ice cubes entering the ice moving chamber 111 from the ice moving inlet 112 can be continuously and quickly ejected to the ice taking assembly 200, the ice cubes move quickly, the ice taking efficiency is high, and the ice taking is realized quickly and continuously. The user has a short waiting time for taking ice, and the ice cubes are not easy to melt, the ice cubes are of high quality, and the ice cubes are not easy to melt and stick together.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figures 4 to 5 , Figure 4 It is a partial structural schematic diagram of the ice moving component of the ice moving device provided in the present application; Figure 5 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of an ice moving member of the ice moving device provided in the present application. The ice moving member 120 includes a rotating shaft 121 and an ice moving body 123. The rotating shaft 121 includes a rotating shaft body 1211, a first extension portion 1212 and a second extension portion 1213. The rotating shaft body 1211 is located between the first extension portion 1212 and the second extension portion 1213. The ice moving body 123 is disposed on the rotating shaft body 1211.

[0043] The shaft body 1211, the first extension part 1212 and the second extension part 1213 are fixedly connected or integrally formed, wherein the first extension part 1212 is located at the end of one end of the shaft body 1211, and the second extension part 1213 is located at the end of the other end of the shaft body 1211. The shaft body 1211 is located in the ice-moving chamber 111, the first extension part 1212 extends from one end of the shaft body 1211 toward the outside of the ice-moving chamber 111, and the second extension part 1213 extends from the other end of the shaft body 1211 toward the outside of the ice-moving chamber 111.

[0044] The ice moving body 123 is disposed on the rotating shaft body 1211. The ice moving body 123 can be radially extended from the rotating shaft body 1211 toward the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 121. The ice moving body 123 can rotate along with the rotation of the rotating shaft body 1211. The ice moving body 123 can carry the ice cubes entering the ice moving chamber 111 from the ice moving inlet 112 and rotate along the first direction X, and throw the ice cubes toward the ice moving outlet 113.

[0045] In some embodiments, the ice moving member 120 further includes a sleeve 122. The sleeve 122 is sleeved on the shaft body 1211. The first extension 1212 and the second extension 1213 are exposed from the sleeve 122. The ice moving body 123 is disposed on the sleeve 122, or on the sleeve 122 and the shaft body 1211.

[0046] The shaft sleeve 122 is sleeved on the shaft body 1211, and the shaft sleeve 122 is fixed to the shaft body 1211, and the shaft sleeve 122 can rotate with the rotation of the shaft body 1211. The ice moving body 123 can be set on the shaft sleeve 122, and the ice moving body 123 is radially extended from the shaft sleeve 122 to the outer periphery of the shaft sleeve 122; or the ice moving body 123 can be set on the shaft sleeve 122 and the shaft body 1211, and the ice moving body 123 is radially extended from the shaft sleeve 122 and the shaft body 1211 to the outer periphery of the shaft sleeve 122, and the ice moving body 123 and the shaft sleeve 122 can rotate with the rotation of the shaft body 1211.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first extension portion 1212 is disposed through the first panel 1141. The second extension portion 1213 is disposed through the second panel 1151. The ice-moving body 123 is located between the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151.

[0048] The first extension portion 1212 and the second extension portion 1213 are exposed from the shaft sleeve 122, so that the first extension portion 1212 is inserted into the first panel 1141, and the second extension portion 1213 is inserted into the second panel 1151. The first panel 1141 can be fixed to the first extension portion 1212, and the second panel 1151 can be fixed to the second extension portion 1213, so that the rotating shaft 121 can drive the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 to rotate.

[0049] By setting the first panel 1141 on the first extension portion 1212, setting the second panel 1151 on the second extension portion 1213, and setting the ice-moving body 123 on the shaft sleeve 122 and / or the rotating shaft body 1211, the rotating shaft 121 can drive the first panel 1141, the second panel 1151 and the ice-moving body 123 to rotate, so that the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 rotate with the rotation of the ice-moving member 120. Therefore, there is no need to increase the distance between the ice-moving member 120 and the first side panel 114 and between the ice-moving member 120 and the second side panel 115, and it is also possible to avoid the ice-moving member 120 rubbing against the first side panel 114 and / or the second side panel 115.

[0050] In some embodiments, the ice moving member 120 further includes a first shaft seat 124 and a second shaft seat 125. The first shaft seat 124 is disposed on the first extension portion 1212. The first shaft seat 124 is located on a side of the first panel 1141 that is away from the ice moving chamber 111. The second shaft seat 125 is disposed on the second extension portion 1213. The second shaft seat 125 is located on a side of the second panel 1151 that is away from the ice moving chamber 111.

[0051] The rotating shaft 121, the first rotating shaft seat 124 and the second rotating shaft seat 125 can be an integrally formed structure, that is, the rotating shaft 121, the first rotating shaft seat 124 and the second rotating shaft seat 125 are an integral structure, and the rotating shaft 121, the first rotating shaft seat 124 and the second rotating shaft seat 125 are different parts of the same component. Of course, the rotating shaft 121, the first rotating shaft seat 124 and the second rotating shaft seat 125 can also be a fixed connection structure, that is, the first rotating shaft seat 124 is fixed to the first extension portion 1212 of the rotating shaft 121, and the second rotating shaft seat 125 is fixed to the second extension portion 1213 of the rotating shaft 121.

[0052] The first rotating shaft seat 124 is located on a side of the first panel 1141 facing away from the ice-moving chamber 111, and the first rotating shaft seat 124 is used to set the first panel 1141 on the side of the first rotating shaft seat 124 facing the ice-moving chamber 111. The second rotating shaft seat 125 is located on a side of the second panel 1151 facing away from the ice-moving chamber 111, and the second rotating shaft seat 125 is used to set the second panel 1151 on the side of the second rotating shaft seat 125 facing the ice-moving chamber 111, so that the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 are relatively arranged on both sides of the ice-moving body 123.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 The three-dimensional structural diagram of another embodiment of the ice removal device provided in the present application. The ice removal device 100 also includes a support plate 130. The support plate 130 is located on the side of the second rotating shaft seat 125 facing away from the second panel 1151. The rotating shaft 121 is rotatably disposed on the support plate 130, and the rotating shaft 121 is used to drive the ice removal body 123, the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 to rotate.

[0058] The support plate 130 is provided with a mounting hole for mounting the rotating shaft 121. The mounting hole is provided with an anti-wear ring 131. The anti-wear ring 131 is clamped in the mounting hole, and the aperture of the anti-wear ring 131 is at least larger than the diameter of the second extension portion 1213 of the rotating shaft 121, so that the second extension portion 1213 can pass through the anti-wear ring 131 and can rotate in the anti-wear ring 131, thereby reducing the rotational friction between the rotating shaft 121 and the support plate 130. The ice moving device 100 also includes a driving member (not shown), which can be arranged outside the ice moving chamber 111, and the output shaft of the driving member is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft 121, and the driving member can be used to drive the rotating shaft 121 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 121 drives the ice moving body 123, the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 to rotate. The rotation of the ice moving member 120 can be controlled by the driving member. Specifically, the driving member can control the start and stop of the rotation of the ice moving member 120 , the rotation direction of the ice moving member 120 , and the rotation speed of the ice moving member 120 .

[0059] The second side plate body 1152 and / or the bottom shell 117 of the second side plate 115 are disposed on the support plate 130. The second side plate body 1152 and / or the bottom shell 117 are disposed on the support plate 130 in a manner including but not limited to riveting, bonding, bolting, welding, and magnetic adsorption connection.

[0060] In some embodiments, the ice moving part 110 further includes a top cover 116 connected between the first side plate 114 and the second side plate 115, and a bottom shell 117 surrounding the first side plate 114 and the second side plate 115 on three sides. The first side plate 114, the second side plate 115, the top cover 116 and the bottom shell 117 surround and form an ice moving chamber 111.

[0061] The top cover 116 and the bottom shell 117 can also serve as a part of the housing of the ice moving device 100. That is, the first side plate 114, the second side plate 115, the top cover 116 and the bottom shell 117 can serve as the housing of the ice moving device 100, and play a role in bearing and protecting the ice moving member 120 and other components of the ice moving device 100.

[0062] The top cover 116 is located at the top of the ice-moving portion 110 and between the ice-moving inlet 112 and the ice-moving outlet 113. The bottom shell 117 surrounds the first side plate 114 and the second side plate 115 from the bottom of the ice-moving portion 110, the side of the first side plate 114 and the second side plate 115 facing the ice-moving inlet 112, and the side of the first side plate 114 and the second side plate 115 facing the ice-moving outlet 113. The surface of the bottom shell 117 facing the ice-moving chamber 111 is a curved surface, and the curved surface protrudes in a direction away from the ice-moving chamber 111. The curved surface is a guide surface for ice cubes, and under the guidance of the curved surface, the ice cubes can move more smoothly in the ice-moving chamber 111. The curved surface has a smooth transition.

[0063] In some embodiments, the ice removal device 100 further includes an ice filtering area 140. The ice filtering area 140 is located at the bottom of the ice removal portion 110. The ice filtering area 140 extends from the ice removal inlet 112 toward the ice removal outlet 113, and is used to filter the crushed ice and / or water in the ice removal cavity 111.

[0064] The ice filtering area 140 has a first through groove 141 connected to the ice moving chamber 111. The ice filtering area 140 is located at the bottom of the ice moving part 110, that is, the first through groove 141 is opened at the bottom of the ice moving part 110, and the first through groove 141 allows crushed ice to pass through but does not allow whole ice to pass through. After the ice cubes enter the ice moving chamber 111, the high-speed rotating ice moving part 120 will drive the ice cubes to move. Under the action of centrifugal force, the crushed ice can pass through the first through groove 141. Under the action of gravity, the crushed ice can fall out of the ice moving chamber 111 from the first through groove 141 when passing through the first through groove 141, thereby filtering the crushed ice and preventing the crushed ice from accumulating in the ice moving chamber 111. Therefore, the problem of the crushed ice melting and condensing again in a low temperature environment, which causes the ice moving part 120 and other moving parts to be frozen, will not occur.

[0065] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device provided by the present application. Figure 6 . The ice moving device 100 also includes a filter assembly 160. The filter assembly 160 includes a stopper 161 and an ice crushing box 162. The stopper 161 is disposed at the first through groove 141. The ice crushing box 162 is located below the ice moving portion 110. At least a portion of the ice moving portion 110 is accommodated in the ice crushing box 162, and at least a portion of the first through groove 141 is located in the ice crushing box 162. The ice crushing box 162 is connected to the ice moving chamber 111 through the first through groove 141. The ice crushing box 162 is located below the ice moving portion 110, which facilitates the ice crushing to fall into the ice crushing box 162 under the action of gravity and the ice moving member 120.

[0066] After the stopper 161 intercepts the crushed ice, the crushed ice falls from the first through groove 141 into the crushed ice box 162. The stopper 161 is a component that is easy to intercept the crushed ice and easy to make the crushed ice break away from the stopper 161 and fall into the crushed ice box 162. The stopper 161 can be a brush. The material of the stopper 161 can be selected from waterproof materials. The filter assembly 160 also includes a vibrator (not shown in the figure). The vibrator is arranged on the stopper 161. The vibrator is used to drive the stopper 161 to vibrate, so that the crushed ice intercepted by the stopper 161 quickly breaks away from the stopper 161 and falls into the crushed ice box 162.

[0067] The crushed ice box 162 is disposed outside the ice moving part 110, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the crushed ice collected in the crushed ice box 162. In some embodiments, the crushed ice box 162 is removably disposed below the ice moving part 110. When the amount of crushed ice in the crushed ice box 162 reaches a certain amount, the crushed ice box 162 can be taken out, and the crushed ice box 162 can be disposed in the ice moving part 110 after the crushed ice is cleaned. The body of the crushed ice box 162 can be colorless and transparent, so as to facilitate the observation of the degree of collection of the crushed ice in the crushed ice box 162, so as to prevent the crushed ice in the ice moving chamber 111 from being unable to fall out of the first through groove 141 and being accumulated in the ice moving chamber 111 after the crushed ice box 162 is full of crushed ice.

[0068] The first through groove 141 has a first wall 1411 and a second wall 1412 that are oppositely disposed. The stopper 161 is disposed on the first wall 1411 and / or the second wall 1412. Of course, the stopper 161 can also be disposed between the first wall 1411 and the second wall 1412, and there is a certain distance between the stopper 161 and the first wall 1411, and there is a certain distance between the stopper 161 and the second wall 1412, so as to facilitate the passage of crushed ice and / or water.

[0069] The bottom shell 117 includes a first bottom plate 1171 and a second bottom plate 1172 connected to each other. The first bottom plate 1171 is connected to the first side plate 114 on a side away from the second bottom plate 1172. The second bottom plate 1172 is connected to the second side plate 115 on a side away from the first bottom plate 1171. The first bottom plate 1171 and the second bottom plate 1172 may be an integrally formed structure. The first through groove 141 is provided on a side of the first bottom plate 1171 and the second bottom plate 1172 away from the ice inlet 112 and the ice outlet 113.

[0070] The first bottom plate 1171 has a first sub-groove 1171a. The second bottom plate 1172 has a second sub-groove 1172a. The first sub-groove 1171a and the second sub-groove 1172a are connected to form a first through-groove 141. The first sub-groove 1171a extends from the edge of the first bottom plate 1171 close to the first side plate 114 to the edge of the first bottom plate 1171 close to the second bottom plate 1172, and the second sub-groove 1172a extends from the edge of the second bottom plate 1172 close to the second side plate 115 to the edge of the second bottom plate 1172 close to the first bottom plate 1171, that is, the first through-groove 141 extends from the edge of the first side plate 114 to the edge of the second side plate 115. The first through-groove 141 is arc-shaped.

[0071] The ice removal part 110 further has a second through groove 142 connected to the ice removal chamber 111. The second through groove 142 is provided in the bottom shell 117 and extends along the first direction X, and the crushed ice is easy to fall out of the second through groove 142. The positional relationship between the second through groove 142 and the first through groove 141 can be determined according to actual conditions and is not subject to specific restrictions. For example, the second through groove 142 can be provided between adjacent first through grooves 141, and at the same time, the second through groove 142 can be connected to the first through groove 141, or it can be not connected to the first through groove 141.

[0072] By providing the first through groove 141 and the second through groove 142 in the ice filtering area 140 , it is convenient for the ice moving member 120 to throw the crushed ice out from the first through groove 141 and the second through groove 142 , so that the crushed ice can be filtered out more thoroughly, the accumulation of crushed ice can be prevented, and the ice filtering efficiency and effect can be improved.

[0073] In some embodiments, the ice-moving body 123 is selected from bristles or fan blades.

[0074] The ice-moving body 123 can be selected from fan blades. The fan blades are radially extended from the shaft sleeve 122 and / or the shaft body 1211 toward the outer periphery of the shaft 121. The fan blades extend from the end of the shaft sleeve 122 and / or the shaft body 1211 close to the first panel 1141 to the end close to the second panel 1151. The extension direction of the fan blades is perpendicular to the plane where the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 are located. There is an ice carrying groove 123a between adjacent fan blades, and the ice carrying groove 123a is used to receive ice cubes entering the ice moving chamber 111 from the ice moving ice inlet 112, and the fan blades are used to drive the ice cubes in the ice carrying groove 123a to be thrown toward the ice moving ice outlet 113. By forming the ice carrying groove 123a between the fan blades, the ice cubes can enter different ice carrying grooves 123a one by one, so that there will be no collision between the ice cubes, and it is not easy to melt and stick, thereby realizing the separation of the ice cubes and improving the quality of the ice cubes. The fan blades may be flexible fan blades, which may be deformed to a certain extent after being squeezed by the ice cubes, thereby facilitating the ice cubes to be accommodated in the ice carrying groove 123a.

[0075] The ice removal body 123 can be made of brush bristles. When ice cubes enter the ice removal chamber 111 from the ice removal outlet 113, the ice cubes will squeeze the brush bristles, which will be deformed by the ice cubes to form a gap that can accommodate the ice cubes. At the same time, the brush bristles can carry the ice cubes and throw the ice cubes out of the ice removal outlet 113.

[0076] Since the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151 can rotate with the ice moving piece 120, even if the ice moving body 123 is squeezed by the ice cubes and deformed to contact the first panel 1141 and / or the second panel 1151, the ice moving body 123 will not interfere with the first panel 1141 and / or the second panel 1151, thereby protecting the ice moving body 123, the first panel 1141 and the second panel 1151.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 This is a structural diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device provided in this application, and further reference is made to Figure 3 The ice moving part 110 further includes a pressing plate 150 . The pressing plate 150 is disposed on the top cover 116 and is located in the ice moving chamber 111 . The shortest distance between the end of the pressing plate 150 facing the ice moving member 120 and the central axis of the ice moving member 120 is smaller than the radius of the ice moving member 120 .

[0078] During the rotation of the ice moving member 120, the ice moving body 123 contacts the pressure plate 150 and deforms, and forms a clearance opening 151 at the ice moving inlet 112. The pressure plate 150 presses part of the ice moving body 123, and as the ice moving member 120 rotates, ice cubes are easily brought into the ice moving member 120 through the clearance opening 151 when entering the ice moving chamber 111 through the ice moving inlet 112, thereby improving the ice moving efficiency of the ice moving device 100 and preventing ice cubes from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 112. It should be noted that no matter whether the ice moving body 123 is selected from a brush or a fan blade, under the action of the pressure plate 150, a clearance opening 151 can be formed at the ice moving inlet 112.
