[0002] In the related art, the ice-making system of refrigerator is usually installed on the inner side of the door body of refrigerator, and the ice delivery channel is arranged on the door body of refrigerator and is communicated with the ice outlet on the outer side of the door body of refrigerator, so that the user can directly take ice from the outer side of the refrigerator. The ice delivery channel occupies a large amount of storage space. In order to ensure that the ice cubes of the ice-making system can be smoothly delivered to the ice delivery channel, an ice cutter device or an ice stirring device needs to be arranged in the ice storage box of the ice-making system, so as to break the ice cubes, which leads to a complex structure of the ice-making system, a large energy consumption of the refrigerator, and an influence on the reliability and economy of the refrigerator. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems in the prior art. To this end, one object of the present application is to provide an ice-making system of refrigerator, which has a simple structure, can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the refrigerator, can increase the storage space of the refrigerator in a limited space, and can improve the convenience and flexibility of the user in taking ice.

[0004] The ice-making system of refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application comprises: a fixed support installed on the door body of the refrigerator; an ice-making device installed on the fixed support, the ice-making device being used for making ice cubes; an ice storage box installed on the fixed support, the ice storage box being located below the ice-making device and being used for receiving the ice cubes discharged from the ice-making device; the ice-making system further comprises: a guide mechanism installed on the fixed support; a rotating shaft installed on the outer wall of the ice storage box; wherein the rotating shaft is rotatably fitted in the guide mechanism, so that the ice storage box is rotatable relative to the fixed support in the up-down direction; an opening is formed on the guide mechanism, and the rotating shaft can be removed from the fixed support when the rotating shaft is rotated to the opening.

[0005] The ice-making system of refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present application, through the cooperation of the guide mechanism on the fixed support and the rotating shaft on the ice storage box, the ice storage box and the fixed support are rotatably connected, and the ice storage box and the fixed support are also detachably connected. Thus, compared with taking ice from the outer side of the refrigerator, the ice-making system saves the ice cutter device or the ice stirring device, so that the ice-making system has a simple structure, can effectively reduce the energy consumption of the refrigerator, can increase the storage space of the refrigerator in a limited space, and can improve the convenience and flexibility of the user in taking ice.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the ice storage box is in the ice taking state, the angle between the side surface of the ice storage box away from the fixed support and the up-down direction in the projection plane in the left-right direction is a, wherein the a satisfies: 0≤a≤40. Thus, by controlling the rotation angle of the ice storage box between 0 and 40, the user can take ice while preventing the ice from overflowing from the ice storage box, and the ice storage capacity is improved.

[0008] Thus, the ice storage box continues to move a path more than the preloading state when it is converted from the ice storage state to the ice taking state, so that the ice storage box in the ice taking state can avoid the opening in the preloading state, so that the ice storage box in the ice taking state can be limited in the arc-shaped track groove, preventing the ice storage box in the ice taking state from moving out of the opening in the preloading state and falling off. Further, the structure of the ice storage box in the ice taking state is more stable, and the user does not need to manually limit the ice storage box, further improving the convenience of taking ice. Secondly, the second inclined angle of the ice storage box in the ice taking state is greater than the first inclined angle in the preloading state, so that the inclination angle of the ice storage box in the ice taking state is larger, and the opening of the ice storage box is more inclined, making it more convenient to take ice. Ice is more likely to slide to the opening side of the ice storage box due to gravity, reducing the need for manual picking, and further improving the convenience of taking ice.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present application, the rotating shaft comprises a first rotating shaft, and the guide mechanism comprises a first guide mechanism. The first guide mechanism is arc-shaped and extends in the front-rear direction.

A first opening is formed on one side of the first guide mechanism adjacent to the ice making device in the up-down direction, and the first opening communicates with the first guide groove. Thus, the rotating connection of the ice storage box and the fixed support can be realized, and the ice storage box can be detached, and the structure of the first guide mechanism is simple and easy to process.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present application, a guide portion is installed at the first opening and extends obliquely in the front-rear direction.

In this way, the rotating connection of the ice storage box and the fixing support can be realized, and the ice storage box can be detached, and the structure of the second guide mechanism is simple and easy to process.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second opening is located above the second limiting portion in the up-down direction, the second rotating shaft comprises a first rotating portion and a stopping portion connected to each other, the first rotating portion is rotatably fitted in the second guide groove, and the stopping portion is adapted to stop against the second limiting portion. In this way, the stability of the ice storage box during rotation can be further ensured by the cooperation of the stopping portion and the second limiting portion.

In this way, the stability of the ice storage box in the closed state can be further ensured by the cooperation of the locking member and the locking groove, and the ice storage box can be prevented from shaking due to external force.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present application, a fitting groove is formed on the fixing support, a bottom wall of the fitting groove is provided with a first fitting hole and a first sliding hole, the first sliding hole is located outside the first fitting hole and extends along the circumference of the first fitting hole; the locking member comprises a knob portion, a second rotating portion and a sliding portion, the second rotating portion and the sliding portion are arranged on the side of the knob portion adjacent to the fixing support, the second rotating portion is rotatably fitted in the first fitting hole, and the sliding portion is slidably fitted in the first sliding hole; wherein one end of the sliding portion is located in the locking groove when the locking member is in the locking state, and the one end of the sliding portion is separated from the locking groove when the locking member is in the unlocking state.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the locking member is in the locking state, the angle between the connecting line between the center of the knob portion and the center of the first rotating portion and the vertical direction is β, wherein the β satisfies: 4°≤β≤15°.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Reference will now be made to Figures 1-12 An ice making system 10 of a refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described below.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1-12 An ice making system 10 of a refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a fixed bracket 110, an ice making device 120, and an ice storage box 130.

[0022] Specifically, the fixing support 110 is mounted on the door body 20 of the refrigerator 100, the ice making device 120 is mounted on the fixing support 110, the ice making device 120 is used for making ice cubes, and the ice storage box 130 is arranged on the fixing support 110 and is located below the ice making device 120 and used for receiving the ice cubes discharged from the ice making device 120.

[0023] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 11 , the refrigerator 100 comprises a cabinet 30 and two door bodies 20, the cabinet 30 has a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment, the two door bodies 20 are respectively arranged at the opening side of the freezing compartment and the opening side of the refrigerating compartment, and the ice making system 10 is arranged at the inner side of the door body 20 at the freezing compartment. For example, the fixing support 110 of the ice making system 10 can be clamped at the inner side of the door body 20. When installed, the ice making device 120 and the ice storage box 130 can be installed to the fixing support 110, and then the whole is installed on the door body 20, so that the modularization of the ice making system 10 is realized, and the installation and disassembly of the ice making system 10 are facilitated.

[0024] The ice making device 120 can comprise an ice maker 121 and a wind deflector 122, the wind deflector 122 is arranged outside the ice maker 121, the ice making device 120 is installed at the upper part of the fixing support 110, the ice storage box 130 is installed at the lower part of the fixing support 110 and used for storing the ice cubes, that is, the ice making device 120 and the ice storage box 130 are arranged in the up-down direction. When the ice making system 10 works, clean water is introduced into the ice making device 120, the ice making device 120 generates ice cubes through heat exchange, and the ice cubes fall into the ice storage box 130 after being separated from the ice making device 120.

[0025] The ice making system 10 further comprises a guide mechanism 140 and a rotating shaft 150, the guide mechanism 140 is installed on the fixing support 110, and the rotating shaft 150 is installed on the outer wall of the ice storage box 130.

[0026] As shown in Figures 3-7 , the guide mechanism 140 and the rotating shaft 150 can both be multiple, and in the description of the present application, the meaning of “multiple” is two or more. The multiple guide mechanisms 140 correspond to the multiple rotating shafts 150 one by one, and the multiple guide mechanisms 140 are respectively arranged on both sides of the length direction (for example, the left-right direction in Figure 2 ) of the fixing support 110. Similarly, the multiple rotating shafts 150 are respectively arranged on the two outer side walls of the length direction of the ice storage box 130. Through the cooperation of the guide mechanism 140 and the rotating shaft 150, the connection between the ice storage box 130 and the fixing support 110 is realized.

[0027] The rotating shaft 150 is rotatably matched in the guide mechanism 140, so that the ice storage box 130 is rotatable relative to the fixing support 110 in the up-down direction.

[0028] In this way, the ice storage box 130 can be switched between the ice taking state and the closed state, that is, in the process of switching the ice storage box 130 from the closed state to the ice taking state, the open side (i.e., the ice taking opening) of the ice storage box 130 moves away from the fixed support 110, that is, the ice taking opening of the ice storage box 130 moves away from the door body 20 to expose the ice taking opening of the ice storage box 130, which facilitates the user to take ice through the ice taking opening. In the process of switching the ice storage box 130 from the ice taking state to the closed state, the open side (i.e., the ice taking opening) of the ice storage box 130 moves towards the fixed support 110 until the ice taking opening is opposite to the ice making device 120, that is, the ice taking opening of the ice storage box 130 moves towards the door body 20 so that the ice cubes of the ice making device 120 can accurately fall into the ice storage box 130.

[0029] Therefore, through the cooperation of the rotating shaft 150 and the guide mechanism 140, the ice storage box 130 can be rotatably connected to the fixed support 110, so that when the user takes ice, the user can directly open the door body 20 and rotate the ice storage box 130 to take ice, that is, when the ice making system 10 of the present application is applied to the refrigerator 100, the user needs to take ice on the inner side of the door body 20, compared with taking ice on the outer side of the refrigerator, the ice delivery channel does not need to be arranged on the door body 20, and the ice making system 10 saves the ice cutter device or the ice stirring device, so that the structure of the ice making system 10 is simple, the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100 can be effectively reduced, and the storage space of the refrigerator 100 can be increased in the limited space.

[0030] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 , the front-rear direction can be the thickness direction of the ice making system 10; the up-down direction can be the height direction of the ice making system 10; and the left-right direction can be the length direction of the ice making system 10.

[0031] As shown in Figure 5 , the guide mechanism 140 is formed with an opening, and when the rotating shaft 150 rotates to the opening, the ice storage box 130 can be taken off from the fixed support 110. That is, after the ice storage box 130 is switched to the ice taking state, the ice storage box 130 is further rotated so that the rotating shaft 150 moves to the opening, at this time, the ice storage box 130 is pulled to make the rotating shaft 150 separate from the opening of the guide mechanism 140, thereby realizing the dismounting of the ice storage box 130, and at this time, the user can take a large amount of ice.

[0032] In this way, when the user needs a small amount of ice, the ice taking opening of the ice storage box 130 can be exposed by rotating the ice storage box 130, and the user can take ice from the ice taking opening; when the user needs a large amount of ice, the ice storage box 130 can be taken off from the fixed support 110 after being rotated, and then the user can take ice. Therefore, the convenience and flexibility of the user to take ice can be improved, so that the ice making system 10 has good practicability.

[0033] According to the ice making system 10 of the refrigerator 100, the cooperation of the guide mechanism 140 on the fixed support 110 and the rotating shaft 150 on the ice storage box 130 can realize the rotating connection and the disconnection of the ice storage box 130 and the fixed support 110. Therefore, compared with the ice taking outside the refrigerator, the ice making system 10 saves the ice cutter device or the ice stirring device, so that the structure of the ice making system 10 is simple, the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100 can be effectively reduced, the storage space of the refrigerator 100 can be increased in the limited space, and the convenience and flexibility of the user in taking ice can be improved.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the ice storage box 130 rotates to the ice taking state, the angle between the side surface of the ice storage box 130 away from the fixed support 110 and the upper and lower directions in the projection plane in the left and right directions is α, wherein α satisfies: 0° < α ≤ 40°. That is, the angle between the outer surface of the side surface of the ice storage box 130 away from the fixed support 110 in the front and rear directions and the second direction in the projection plane in the left and right directions is α.

[0035] When α > 40°, the opening angle of the ice storage box 130 is too large, and when there are many ice blocks in the ice storage box 130, the user taking ice will cause the ice blocks to fall, which affects the user experience, and the structural strength requirement of the rotating shaft 150 is large. Therefore, by controlling the rotating angle of the ice storage box 130 to be between 0° and 40°, the user taking ice is facilitated, the ice blocks are prevented from overflowing from the ice storage box 130, and the ice storage capacity is improved. In addition, the structural strength requirement of the rotating shaft 150 is small, which is convenient for processing.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the ice storage box 130 is in the preloading state, the first inclined angle is formed between the ice storage box 130 and the fixed support 110, and when the ice storage box 130 is in the ice taking state, the second inclined angle is formed between the ice storage box 130 and the fixed support 110. Wherein, the second inclined angle is greater than the first inclined angle.

[0037] In this way, the second inclination angle of the ice storage box 130 in the ice taking state is greater than the first inclination angle in the preloading state, so that the ice storage box 130 has a larger inclination angle in the ice taking state, the ice taking port of the ice storage box 130 is more obviously inclined, and ice taking is more convenient; ice blocks are more likely to slide to the open side of the ice storage box 130 due to gravity, reducing the need for manual picking, and facilitating further improvement of the convenience of ice taking. Moreover, the ice storage box 130 needs to move an additional path when converting from the closed state to the ice taking state than in the preloading state, so that the ice storage box 130 in the ice taking state can avoid the opening in the preloading state, so that the ice storage box 130 in the ice taking state can be limited in the arc-shaped track groove, preventing the ice storage box 130 in the ice taking state from being removed from the opening in the preloading state and falling off, and further improving the convenience of ice taking.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the application, the rotating shaft 150 includes a first rotating shaft 151, and the guide mechanism 140 includes a first guide mechanism 141. The first guide mechanism 141 is arc-shaped and extends in the front-rear direction. The first guide mechanism 141 has a first guide groove 141 formed on one side facing the ice storage box 130. The first rotating shaft 151 is rotatably fitted in the first guide groove 141. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in Figs. 17 and 18, the first guide mechanism 141 is arc-shaped as a whole. The first guide mechanism 141 protrudes towards the ice making device 120, and the end of the first guide mechanism 141 away from the ice making device 120 is higher than the end of the first guide mechanism 141 adjacent to the ice making device 120 in the front-rear direction. The first guide groove 141 extends in the front-rear direction, i.e., the first guide groove 141 is generally long strip-shaped. When the user pulls the ice storage box 130 outward to take ice, the first rotating shaft 151 rotates in the first guide groove 141 while sliding along the first guide groove 141 to realize rotation of the ice storage box 130. Thus, the first guide mechanism 141 has a simple structure and is easy to process.

[0039] The side of the first guide mechanism 141 adjacent to the ice making device 120 in the up-down direction has a first opening 1412. The first opening 1412 communicates with the first guide groove 141. Referring to Figs. 17 and 18, Figure 5, the first opening 1412 is formed at one end of the first guide mechanism 141 adjacent to the ice making device 120, when the first rotating shaft 151 moves to the first opening 1412, the user pulls the ice storage box 130 upward, and the ice storage box 130 can be removed from the fixed support 110, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the ice storage box 130 and the fixed support 110. In addition, when installing, the first rotating shaft 151 can also enter the first guide groove 141 from the first opening 1412, and then push the ice storage box 130 forward until the first rotating shaft 151 abuts against one end of the first guide groove 141 adjacent to the ice making device 120, at this time, it indicates that the ice storage box 130 is installed in place, that is, the ice storage box 130 is switched to the closed state.

[0040] Further, at least one first limiting portion 1413 is arranged on at least one inner wall of the first guide groove 141 in the up-down direction, and the first limiting portion 1413 is adapted to abut against the first rotating shaft 151. As shown in Figure 5 , two first limiting portions 1413 are arranged on the inner side wall of the first guide groove 141 adjacent to the ice making device 120 in the up-down direction, and the two first limiting portions 1413 are spaced apart in the front-back direction, so that the above-mentioned inner side wall of the first guide groove 141 is in a wave shape.

[0041] In this way, the user pulls the ice storage box 130 outward, so that the first rotating shaft 151 slides along the first guide groove 141, when the first rotating shaft 151 slides between the two first limiting portions 1413, at this time, the opening angle of the ice storage box 130 is small, and the two first limiting portions 1413 can limit the rotation of the ice storage box 130, so that the ice storage box 130 can be stably kept at a certain opening angle, if the user needs to increase the opening angle of the ice storage box 130, the ice storage box 130 can be continuously pulled outward.

[0042] When the user pushes the ice storage box 130 inward (i.e., closes the ice storage box 130), the first rotating shaft 151 slides along the first guide groove 141 until it abuts against the inner side wall of the first guide groove 141 adjacent to the fixed support 110, at this time, the innermost first limiting portion 1413 plays a limiting role, which can limit the opening of the ice storage box 130 due to other external forces, so that the ice storage box 130 is stably kept in the closed state. Therefore, by arranging the first limiting portion 1413 in the first guide groove 141, the stability of the ice storage box 130 in the ice taking state and the closed state can be effectively guaranteed, and the shaking of the ice storage box 130 can be avoided.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, with reference to Figure 5The guiding portion 1414 is arranged at the first opening 1412 and extends obliquely in the front-rear direction. For example, the guiding portion 1414 is arranged at the first opening 1412 on the side away from the ice storage box 130 in the front-rear direction, and extends obliquely upward in the direction away from the fixed support 110. When the first rotating shaft 151 slides to the first opening 1412, the user can pull the ice storage box 130 upward, and at this time, the first rotating shaft 151 can be separated from the first guiding groove 141 at the first opening 1412, so as to realize the disassembly of the ice storage box 130. When the ice storage box 130 is installed, the first rotating shaft 151 can enter the first guiding groove 141 from the first opening 1412. Thus, the guiding portion 1414 can play a guiding role to enable the first rotating shaft 151 to quickly enter or separate from the first guiding groove 141, and can increase the structural strength of the first guiding mechanism 141.

[0044] Specifically, the upper side wall of the first guiding groove 141 is provided with a first limiting portion 1413 in the up-down direction, and the upper side wall of the first guiding mechanism 141 is formed with a first opening 1412 communicating with the first guiding groove 141 in the up-down direction, and the first opening 1412 is provided with a guiding portion 1414, and the first limiting portion 1413 and the guiding portion 1414 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction. The first limiting portion 1413 can play a limiting role to ensure the stability of the ice storage box 130 in the ice taking state and the closed state, and realize the stable rotation of the ice storage box 130. The guiding portion 1414 can play a guiding role to enable the first rotating shaft 151 to quickly enter or separate from the first guiding groove 141, and realize the quick disassembly of the ice storage box 130.

[0045] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , the first guiding mechanism 141 is provided with a reinforcing rib 1415, the two ends of the reinforcing rib 1415 are connected with the guiding portion 1414 and the end of the first guiding mechanism 141 respectively, and the reinforcing rib 1415 is located above the first limiting portion 1413. In this way, the structural strength of the first guiding mechanism 141 can be further improved, and the breakage of the first guiding mechanism 141 can be avoided.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present application, the rotating shaft 150 comprises a second rotating shaft 152, and the guiding mechanism 140 comprises a second guiding mechanism 142, the second guiding mechanism 142 extends in the up-down direction, the side of the second guiding mechanism 142 facing the ice storage box 130 is formed with a second guiding groove 1421, and the second rotating shaft 152 is rotatably matched in the second guiding groove 1421. Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in , the second guiding mechanism 142 is roughly in the shape of a long strip, the second guiding groove 1421 extends in the up-down direction, and the second rotating shaft 152 is rotatably matched in the second guiding groove 1421 to realize the rotation of the ice storage box 130.

[0047] A second opening 1422 is formed on the side of the second guide mechanism 142 away from the ice making device 120 in the front-rear direction, and the second opening 1422 communicates with the second guide groove 1421. That is, the second opening 1422 is formed on the side wall of the second guide mechanism 142 on the outside in the front-rear direction, and the second opening 1422 extends in the up-down direction. When the ice storage box 130 is rotated to the ice taking state, the second shaft 152 can be separated from the second guide groove 1421 from the second opening 1422 when the user pulls the ice storage box 130 upwardly and obliquely, at which time the ice storage box 130 can be removed from the fixed support 110, realizing detachable connection of the ice storage box 130 and the fixed support 110. In addition, during installation, the second shaft 152 can also enter the second guide groove 1421 from the second opening 1422, and then the ice storage box 130 is pushed forward to the closed state, at which time the ice storage box 130 is installed in place.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the guide mechanism 140 is four, the four guide mechanisms 140 include two first guide mechanisms 141 and two second guide mechanisms 142, the two first guide mechanisms 141 and the two second guide mechanisms 142 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixed support 110 in the length direction, and the first guide mechanism 141 is above the second guide mechanism 142. Similarly, the shaft 150 is also four, the four shafts 150 are respectively arranged on both sides of the ice storage box 130 in the length direction, the two shafts 150 on the same side are respectively the first shaft 151 and the second shaft 152, and the first shaft 151 and the second shaft 152 are respectively matched in the guide groove of the corresponding first guide mechanism 141 and the second guide mechanism 142.

[0049] In this way, when the user pulls the ice storage box 130 outward, the first rotating shaft 151 located in the first guide mechanism 141 slides along the first guide slot 141, and the second rotating shaft 152 located in the second guide mechanism 142 rotates in the second guide slot 1421, at this time, the ice storage box 130 rotates relative to the fixed support 110 in the up-down direction, so that the ice taking opening on the upper part of the ice storage box 130 is exposed, and the position of the lower part of the ice storage box 130 relative to the fixed support 110 does not change. If it is necessary to remove the ice storage box 130 from the fixed support 110, the first rotating shaft 151 located in the first guide mechanism 141 can be slid to the first opening 1412, and then the ice storage box 130 is pulled upwardly and obliquely, so that the four rotating shafts 150 can be separated from the corresponding guide mechanism 140 through the first opening 1412 and the second opening 1422 respectively, so as to disassemble the ice storage box 130. In this way, by arranging two guide mechanisms 140 with different shapes, the stability of the ice storage box 130 during rotation relative to the fixed support 110 can be ensured, and the shaking of the ice storage box 130 can be avoided.

[0050] Further, at least one second limiting portion 1423 is arranged on at least one inner wall of the second guide slot 1421 in the front-rear direction, and the second limiting portion 1423 is adapted to abut against the second rotating shaft 152. Referring to Figure 5 , the second opening 1422 and the second limiting portion 1423 are arranged on two opposite side walls of the second guide slot 1421 respectively, the second limiting portion 1423 protrudes towards the center of the second guide slot 1421, and the second limiting portion 1423 can limit the movement of the second rotating shaft 152 in the up-down direction. When the user needs to disassemble the ice storage box 130, the ice storage box 130 can be pulled upwardly, at this time, the second guide mechanism 142 deforms to enable the second rotating shaft 152 to move to the second opening 1422, so that the second rotating shaft 152 can be separated from the second guide slot 1421 through the second opening 1422, and the disassembly of the ice storage box 130 is realized. In this way, by arranging the second limiting portion 1423 in the second guide slot 1421, the stability of the ice storage box 130 in the ice taking state and the closed state can be further ensured, and the shaking of the ice storage box 130 can be avoided.

[0051] Further, in the up-down direction, the second opening 1422 is located above the second limiting portion 1423. In this way, when the ice storage box 130 is in the ice taking state, the user can pull the ice storage box 130 upwardly to make the second rotating shaft 152 separate from the second opening 1422, so as to realize the disassembly of the ice storage box 130, and the disassembly mode is simple and convenient to operate.

[0052] Specifically, the second rotating shaft 152 comprises a first rotating portion 1521 and an abutting portion 1522 connected to each other, the first rotating portion 1521 is rotatably arranged in the second guide slot 1421, and the abutting portion 1522 is adapted to abut against the second limiting portion 1423. For example, in the first rotating portion 1521,Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the example, the second rotating shaft 152 includes a stop portion 1522 and two first rotating portions 1521, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the stop portion 1522 along its length. When the ice storage box 130 is switched to the closed state, the stop portion 1522 is opposite to and stops the second limiting portion 1423, thus restricting the movement of the ice storage box 130 in the front-back direction. During the process of switching the ice storage box 130 to the ice-retrieving state, the two first rotating portions 1521 rotate within the second guide groove 1421, while the stop portion 1522 moves away from the second limiting portion 1423, so that the ice-retrieving opening at the top of the ice storage box 130 is exposed, facilitating the user to retrieve ice. Thus, through the cooperation of the stop portion 1522 and the second limiting portion 1423, the stability of the ice storage box 130 during rotation can be further ensured.

[0053] In some alternative embodiments, the side wall of the second guide mechanism 142 adjacent to the ice-making device 120 in the vertical direction is a first side wall 1424, which extends downwardly at an angle in the front-back direction. Figure 5 As shown, the first sidewall 1424 is located between the second opening 1422 and the second limiting part 1423, and the first sidewall 1424 extends upward at an inclination along the direction from the second limiting part 1423 to the second opening 1422. The inclined first sidewall 1424 serves as a guide so that the second rotating shaft 152 can quickly enter or leave the second guide groove 1421, further realizing the quick assembly and disassembly of the ice storage box 130.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the ice-making system 10 of the refrigerator 100 further includes a control component 160, which is disposed on the outer wall of the ice storage box 130 and is communicatively connected to the ice-making device 120, for controlling the working state of the ice-making device 120 according to the state of the ice storage box 130. (Refer to...) Figure 10 A groove is formed on one side wall along the length of the ice storage box 130. The groove can be located above the first rotating shaft 151, and the control component 160 is installed in the groove. When the user pulls the ice storage box 130 outward, the control component 160 transmits an open signal of the ice storage box 130 to the ice making device 120. At this time, the ice making device 120 stops working and no longer delivers ice cubes into the ice storage box 130. When the user pushes the ice storage box 130 inward until it is completely closed, the control component 160 transmits a close signal of the ice storage box 130 to the ice making device 120. At this time, the ice making device 120 starts working to ensure that the ice cubes can fall accurately into the ice storage box 130.

[0055] Optionally, the control member 160 can be a first magnetic member, and a second magnetic member with opposite polarity to the first magnetic member can be mounted on the fixed support 110, so that the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are attracted to each other. In this way, when the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are completely attracted to each other, it can be determined that the ice storage box 130 is in the closed state, and at this time the ice making device 120 can be controlled to work; when the first magnetic member gradually separates from the attraction of the second magnetic member, it can be determined that the ice storage box 130 is in the ice taking state, and at this time the ice making device 120 can be controlled to stop working.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, a locking groove 133 is formed on the outer wall of the ice storage box 130. The ice making system 10 further comprises a locking member 170 rotatably mounted on the fixed support 110, the locking member 170 being switchable between a locked state and an unlocked state, one end of the locking member 170 being located in the locking groove 133 when the locking member 170 is in the locked state, and the above-mentioned one end of the locking member 170 being separated from the locking groove 133 when the locking member 170 is in the unlocked state.

[0057] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the locking groove 133 is arranged on one side of the ice storage box 130 in the length direction, and one end of the locking groove 133 (i.e. the open end of the locking member 170) is in communication with the edge of the ice taking opening. The locking member 170 is rotatably arranged on the outer side wall of the fixed support 110, and the free end of the locking member 170 passes through the fixed support 110. When the ice storage box 130 is in the closed state, the locking member 170 is rotated so that the free end of the locking member 170 moves into the locking groove 133, at this time the locking member 170 is in the locked state, and the movement of the ice storage box 130 in the front-rear direction can be limited. When it is necessary to open the ice storage box 130, the locking member 170 can be rotated so that the free end of the locking member 170 slides along the locking groove 133 until it separates from the locking groove 133 at the above-mentioned one end of the locking member 170, at this time the locking member 170 is in the unlocked state, and the user can pull the ice storage box 130 so that the ice storage box 130 rotates relative to the fixed support 110 in the up-down direction, thereby exposing the ice taking opening of the ice storage box 130. In this way, through the cooperation of the locking member 170 and the locking groove 133, the stability of the ice storage box 130 in the closed state can be further ensured, and the ice storage box 130 can be prevented from shaking due to other external forces.

[0058] Further, the fixed support 110 is formed with a matching groove 111, and the bottom wall of the matching groove 111 is formed with a first matching hole 112 and a first sliding hole 113, the first sliding hole 113 being located outside the first matching hole 112 and extending along the circumference of the first matching hole 112. As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, one side of the length direction of the fixed support 110 is recessed to form a matching groove 111, a middle part of the bottom wall of the matching groove 111 is formed with a first matching hole 112, the free end of the locking piece 170 is rotatably arranged in the first matching hole 112, and a first sliding hole 113 is arranged adjacent to the edge of the matching groove 111. When the locking piece 170 is rotated, the free end of the locking piece 170 is rotated in the first matching hole 112, and part of the locking piece 170 can slide along the first sliding hole 113 to limit the rotation range of the locking piece 170, so that the free end of the locking piece 170 can be accurately slid out of or into the locking groove 133, and the switching of the locking piece 170 between the locked state and the unlocked state is realized.

[0059] The locking piece 170 includes a knob part 171, a second rotating part 172 and a sliding part 173, the second rotating part 172 and the sliding part 173 are arranged on the side adjacent to the fixed support 110 of the knob part 171, the second rotating part 172 is rotatably matched in the first matching hole 112, and the sliding part 173 is slidably matched in the first sliding hole 113. Among them, one end of the sliding part 173 is located in the locking groove 133 when the locking piece 170 is in the locked state, and the above-mentioned one end of the sliding part 173 is separated from the locking groove 133 when the locking piece 170 is in the unlocked state. As shown, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the knob part 171 includes a first knob segment and a second knob segment, the shape of the first knob segment is approximately cylindrical, the shape of the second knob segment is approximately cuboid, and the second knob segment is arranged on one side of the thickness direction of the first knob segment. The shapes of the second rotating part 172 and the sliding part 173 are both approximately cylindrical, and the second rotating part 172 and the sliding part 173 are both arranged on the other side of the thickness direction of the first knob segment, and the length of the second rotating part 172 is less than the length of the sliding part 173, the second rotating part 172 is rotatably matched in the first matching hole 112, and the sliding part 173 is arranged in the first sliding hole 113 and can slide along the first sliding hole 113.

[0060] Specifically, when the locking piece 170 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, the user can rotate the second knob segment clockwise, so that the sliding part 173 is driven by the first knob segment to slide clockwise along the first sliding hole 113, so that the above-mentioned one end of the sliding part 173 is separated from the locking groove 133 from the open segment of the locking groove 133, at this time the user can pull the ice storage box 130 outward, so that the ice storage box 130 rotates relative to the fixed support 110, which is beneficial to the user to take ice. When the user pushes the ice storage box 130 to the closed state, the second rotating segment can be counterclockwise rotated, so that the sliding part 173 is driven by the first knob segment to slide counterclockwise along the first sliding hole 113, so that the above-mentioned one end of the sliding part 173 enters the locking groove 133 from the open side of the locking groove 133, so as to lock the ice storage box 130, and avoid the ice storage box 130 from shaking.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 12 When the locking member 170 is in the locked state, the angle between the connecting line between the center of the knob portion 171 and the center of the first rotating portion 1521 and the vertical direction is β, wherein β satisfies: 4°≤β≤15°. In this way, the locking member 170 has better locking effect, which can effectively avoid the shaking of the ice storage box 130, and the rotational torque of the locking member 170 is smaller, which is beneficial for user operation and improves the locking force, i.e., the user can switch the locking member 170 between the unlocked state and the locked state by a small rotation.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present application, the ice making system 10 further comprises a decoration member 190, which is installed between the fixed support 110 and the ice storage box 130, and the decoration member 190 is formed with a second matching hole 191 and a second sliding hole 192, the second matching hole 191 is opposite to the first matching hole 112, the second sliding hole 192 is opposite to the first sliding hole 113, the second rotating portion 172 is rotatably matched in the second matching hole 191, and the sliding portion 173 is slidably matched in the second sliding hole 192. As shown in Figure 3 The decoration member 190 is roughly in the shape of a cube, the free section of the second rotating portion 172 passes through the first matching hole 112 and matches with the second matching hole 191, and the free end of the sliding portion 173 passes through the first sliding hole 113 and the second sliding hole 192 in sequence to match with the locking groove 133. When the user rotates the locking member 170, the sliding portion 173 slides along the first sliding hole 113 and the second sliding hole 192 to limit the rotation angle of the locking member 170, so as to ensure that the free end of the sliding portion 173 can slide into or out of the locking groove 133.

[0063] The ice making system 10 further comprises a connecting member 180, which is sleeved on the second rotating portion 172, and the connecting member 180 is located between the decoration member 190 and the fixed support 110. As shown in Figure 8 The outer periphery of the free end of the second rotating portion 172 is formed with a mounting groove, and the connecting member 180 is matched in the mounting groove, so that the connecting member 180 is clamped between the fixed support 110 and the decoration member 190. In this way, when the locking member 170 is rotated, the second rotating portion 172 can be prevented from being separated from the first matching hole 112, so as to ensure the stability of the locking member 170 during rotation.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present application, the ice storage box 130 comprises a first box portion 131 and a second box portion 132 which are communicated with each other, and the first box portion 131 and the second box portion 132 are arranged along the front-rear direction, and the shape of the cross section of the first box portion 131 is rectangular. Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 and combining with Figure 2The thickness of the first box portion 131 in the front-rear direction is less than the width of the first box portion 131 in the left-right direction, and the height of the first box portion 131 in the up-down direction is greater than the width of the first box portion 131 in the left-right direction. An upper portion of the side wall of the first box portion 131 away from the fixed support 110 in the front-rear direction is formed with a through hole 134, which is in communication with the upper edge of the side wall of the first box portion 131, and which can provide operating space for the user to pull the ice storage box 130, so that the user can easily pull the ice storage box 130.

[0065] In addition, the shape of the first box portion 131 is set to a cuboid shape, which can increase the ice storage space of the first box portion 131 in a limited space, so that the ice storage box 130 can store more ice blocks.

[0066] The cross-sectional area of the second box portion 132 in the up-down direction gradually decreases in the direction away from the fixed support 110. As shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 The side of the second box portion 132 adjacent to the ice making device 120 in the up-down direction is a bevel, so that the shape of the second box portion 132 is approximately a right-angled trapezoidal shape, that is, one end of the second box portion 132 with a larger cross-sectional area is connected to the first box portion 131, and the other end of the second box portion 132 with a smaller cross-sectional area faces the fixed support 110. In this way, the ice storage space of the second box portion 132 can be as large as possible in a limited space, the utilization rate of the ice storage box 130 is improved, and interference between the ice storage box 130 and the ice making device 120 during rotation can be avoided.

[0068] As shown in Figure 11 The refrigerator 100 further comprises a cabinet 30, which is suitable for storing food and other articles. The cabinet 30 has a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment, and different temperatures are arranged in the freezing compartment and the refrigerating compartment, respectively, so that articles with different temperature requirements can be placed. Generally, the temperature of the freezing compartment is lower than that of the refrigerating compartment. The freezing compartment and the refrigerating compartment can be arranged in the width direction of the cabinet 30. The door body 20 is rotatably arranged on the open side of the cabinet 30. For example, the door body 20 is two, and the two door bodies 20 are arranged on the open side of the freezing compartment and the open side of the refrigerating compartment, respectively. The ice making system 10 can be arranged in the freezing compartment, that is, the ice making system 10 is arranged at the upper portion of the door body 20 of the freezing compartment, so that the ice making device 120 can make ice, and the height of the ice making system 10 is convenient for the user to take ice.

[0069] According to the refrigerator door 40 of the embodiment of the present application, by adopting the ice making system 10, the ice delivery channel is not required to be arranged on the door body 20, and the ice making system 10 saves the ice cutter device or the ice stirring device. Therefore, the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100 can be effectively reduced, the weight and cost of the refrigerator door 40 can be reduced, and the market competitiveness of the refrigerator 100 is improved.
