[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] An embodiment of the present application provides an ice dispensing assembly and a refrigerator, wherein the refrigerator includes an ice crusher, and ice cubes from the ice dispensing assembly need to be transferred to the ice crusher for crushing. In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the ice dispensing assembly and the refrigerator, the ice dispensing assembly and the refrigerator will be introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an ice discharging assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the partial structure of the ice discharge assembly shown in FIG. Figure 3 for Figure 2The present application provides an ice dispensing assembly 100, which includes an ice storage box 10 and an ice pushing mechanism 20. The ice storage box 10 is arranged on one side of the ice crusher and is provided with an ice storage chamber 131. The ice storage box 10 includes an end wall 111 and a bottom wall 112 connected to each other. The bottom wall 112 is used to carry ice cubes. The end wall 111 is arranged close to the ice crusher, and an ice outlet 1111 is provided on a side away from the bottom wall 112. The ice pushing mechanism 20 is arranged in the ice storage chamber 131, and is used to push the ice cubes in the ice storage chamber 131 toward the end wall 111. The ice discharging assembly 100 further includes an ice discharging mechanism 30, which is disposed in the ice storage box 10. The ice discharging mechanism 30 includes a lifting structure 31 and a guide plate 32. The lifting structure 31 is disposed at one end of the ice pushing mechanism 20 facing the ice crusher, and is used to lift the ice cubes pushed out by the ice pushing mechanism 20. The guide plate 32 is installed in the ice storage box 10, and is used to cooperate with the lifting structure 31 to guide the ice cubes to the ice outlet 1111. Specifically, the refrigerator 200 includes an ice maker, and the ice storage box 10 is below the ice maker. When the ice maker completes ice making, the ice cubes fall into the ice storage box 10, and the ice cubes in the ice storage box 10 need to be transferred to the ice crushing chamber. Because the ice crushing chamber is above the ice storage box 10, the ice cubes in the ice storage box 10 need to be transferred and lifted a distance into the ice crushing chamber when being pushed out. If the ice cubes are not discharged in time, the ice discharging efficiency will be reduced. In order to improve the smoothness of ice discharging, the ice discharging mechanism 30 provided in the present application is arranged in the ice storage box 10. When the ice pushing mechanism 20 in the ice storage box 10 pushes ice toward the ice discharging mechanism 30, the ice cubes enter the lifting structure 31 in an orderly manner. The lifting structure 31 is used to raise the height of the ice cubes to guide the ice cubes to the guide plate 32. The guide plate 32 is used to change the ice discharging direction of the ice cubes to guide the ice cubes to the ice outlet 1111, thereby completing the ice discharging quickly and efficiently.

[0038] Exemplarily, the lifting structure 31 includes a rotating shaft 311 and an ice lifting blade 312. The rotating shaft 311 is rotatably installed in the ice storage box 10 and is arranged along the pushing direction of the ice cubes. The rotating shaft 311 can be coaxial with the ice pushing mechanism 20 to facilitate the ice pushing mechanism 20 to push out the ice cubes. The ice lifting blade 312 is connected to the rotating shaft 311. When the rotating shaft 311 rotates, the ice lifting blade 312 rotates with the rotating shaft 311 with the rotating shaft 311 as the axis, and lifts the ice cubes pushed out by the ice pushing mechanism 20 during the rotation process. After the ice cubes are lifted, they fall into the guide plate 32 under the action of gravity. One end of the guide plate 32 is opposite to the ice outlet 1111, and extends from the ice outlet 1111 to the direction away from the bottom wall 112 and toward the ice pushing mechanism 20. Specifically, one end of the guide plate 32 away from the first end wall 111 is higher than the ice outlet 1111, and forms a certain inclination angle with the ice outlet 1111. The guide plate 32 includes a guide surface, which is used to receive the ice cubes lifted by the ice lifting blade 312. After the ice cubes are lifted by the ice lifting blade 312, the ice cubes far away from the ice outlet 1111 can fall into the guide surface and be guided to the ice outlet 1111 through the guide surface.

[0039] Exemplarily, the lifting blade 312 includes a plurality of blades arranged at intervals, and the blades can be arranged on the same side of the rotating shaft 311, or can be arranged in a fan shape on different sides of the rotating shaft 311. The guide plate 32 includes a plurality of connecting arms 321, and the connecting arms 321 are connected to the rotating shaft 311. A clearance opening 322 is formed between two adjacent connecting arms 321, and each clearance opening 322 is used to avoid the passage of a blade. Specifically, the connecting arms 321 can be four, and three clearance openings 322 are formed. A support rib 325 is formed on the side of each connecting arm 321 away from the guide surface, and the support rib 325 is used to improve the overall strength of the guide plate 32. Each connecting arm 321 forms an arc-shaped mounting groove 324 at one end close to the rotating shaft 311, so that the rotating shaft 311 is installed in the mounting groove 324. The blades can be three, and each blade is correspondingly arranged at a clearance opening 322 to prevent the blade from colliding with the guide plate 32 when rotating.

[0040] Exemplarily, the width of each blade at one end close to the rotating shaft 311 is greater than the width at one end away from the rotating shaft 311. Specifically, because ice cubes enter the guide plate 32 and slide out from the ice outlet 1111 through squeezing force or gravity, the structure of lifting the ice blade 312 needs to reduce friction, otherwise there will be ice clamping with the guide plate 32. Therefore, the width of the part of the ice blade close to the rotating shaft 311 needs to be greater than the width of the part away from the rotating shaft 311. The end of the ice blade close to the rotating shaft 311 is the rear end, and the end away from the rotating shaft 311 is the front end. When the ice cubes rotate with the ice blades, the ice cubes can slide out from the front end with a smaller width and fall into the guide plate 32.

[0041] See also Figure 4-Figure 6 , Figure 4 for Figure 1 The schematic cross-sectional view of the ice discharge assembly along AA is shown. Figure 5 for Figure 1 The top view of the ice discharging assembly shown in FIG. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The cross-sectional schematic diagram of the ice discharging assembly along BB is shown. Exemplarily, the ice storage box 10 includes an ice storage portion 13 and an ice discharging portion 11 which are connected to each other, the ice storage portion 13 forming the ice storage chamber 131, the end wall 111 being located at the ice discharging portion 11, and the ice discharging mechanism 30 being arranged in the ice discharging portion 11. Specifically, the ice discharging portion 11 can be a square structure, the end wall 111 being located at one end of the ice discharging portion 11 away from the ice storage portion 13, and being provided with the ice discharging port 1111, the bottom wall 112 being partially located in the ice discharging portion 11, and partially located in the ice storage portion 13. The ice discharging portion 11 is provided with an ice discharging space, and the ice discharging mechanism 30 is arranged in the ice discharging space. During the process of lifting ice cubes, the ice discharging portion 11 as a whole can limit the range of movement of ice cubes to prevent ice cubes from flying out during rotation. Furthermore, in the ice outlet portion 11, an arc-shaped protective barrier can be provided below the guide plate 32 along the direction of gravity. When the ice cubes enter the ice outlet space, the protective barrier can limit the movement direction of the ice cubes, causing the ice cubes to move in a circular direction and enter the guide plate 32 as the ice blade 312 is lifted and rotated.

[0042] Exemplarily, the ice discharging portion 11 further includes a partition wall 113 disposed opposite to the end wall 111, the rotating shaft is mounted on the partition wall 113, the partition wall 113 is provided with an opening, so that the ice cubes in the ice storage portion 13 can enter the ice discharging portion 11 through the opening, one end of the guide plate 32 is connected to or close to the end wall 111, and the other end of the guide plate 32 is connected to or close to the partition wall 113, so that the ice cubes can slide along the guide plate 32 to the ice discharging port 1111 after being lifted. Specifically, in some embodiments, the guide plate 32 connects the end wall 111 and the partition wall 113, and in other embodiments, a gap may be left between the guide plate 32 and the end wall 111 or between the guide plate 32 and the partition wall 113, but the gap is not larger than the diameter of the ice cubes, so as to prevent the ice cubes from falling into the bottom wall 112 and failing to be discharged normally.

[0043] Exemplarily, the ice pushing mechanism 20 includes a connector 21 and an ice pushing rod 23, the connector 21 includes a ring body 223 and a connecting shaft 221 disposed in the ring body 223, one end of the connecting shaft 221 is connected to the ice pushing rod 23 and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 311, the ring body 223 includes a guide blade 222 rotatably disposed on the connecting shaft 221, and the guide blade 222 guides the ice cubes into the opening. The connector 21 can slow down the speed at which the ice cubes enter the ice discharging mechanism 30 and play a conductive role at the same time. Specifically, when there are many ice cubes, the ice cubes will accumulate at the opening, causing the ice cubes to be squeezed and the ice output to be not smooth. The connecting piece 21 is arranged in the ice storage chamber 131, and is coaxial with the ice pushing rod 23 and the rotating shaft 311. The ice pushing rod 23 includes a spirally arranged blade, which guides the ice cubes into the connecting piece 21 so that the ice cubes are located in the ring body 223. When the ice cubes enter the ice output space from the opening, the guide blades 222 are controlled to push the ice cubes toward the opening.

[0044] Exemplarily, the ice outlet portion 11 further includes a first side wall 114, which is connected to the bottom wall 112 and to a side of the end wall 111 close to the ice outlet 1111, and the guide plate 32 is extended from the rotation axis 311 in a direction away from the bottom wall 112 and toward the first side wall 114 to guide the ice cubes to slide from the guide plate 32 into the ice outlet 1111. Specifically, during the process of the ice blade 312 being lifted and rotated, part of the ice cubes will be thrown toward the first side wall 114 due to inertia, and the guide plate 32 is extended from the rotation axis 311 in a direction away from the bottom wall 112 and toward the first side wall 114, and the portion close to the first side wall 114 is a straight structure, and the portion close to the rotation axis 311 is an inclined structure, forming an arc-shaped guide structure as a whole to further guide the movement direction of the ice cubes. The ice outlet portion 11 further includes a second side wall arranged opposite to the first side wall 114 . The first side wall 114 and the second side wall limit the space for ice cubes to rotate from both sides, so that the ice cubes slide along the arc structure toward the ice outlet 1111 to be smoothly discharged.

[0045] Exemplarily, the ice outlet portion 11 further includes a top wall 115 disposed opposite to the bottom wall 112, and the ice outlet portion 11 includes a limiting plate 1151, the limiting plate 1151 is connected to the top wall 115, and the guide plate 32 forms a limiting groove 323 on the side close to the first side wall 114, and the limiting plate 1151 is correspondingly installed in the limiting groove 323 to limit the displacement of the guide plate 32. Specifically, when the limiting plate 1151 is installed in the ice outlet portion 11, the guide plate 32 may shake or deviate, and the setting of the limiting plate 1151 can limit the shaking of the guide plate 32, the limiting groove 323 is a triangular groove, the limiting plate 1151 is a triangular plate structure, the limiting plate 1151 is installed in the limiting groove 323, and abuts against the guide plate 32. Those skilled in the art can change the structure of the limiting plate 1151 and the limiting groove 323 according to actual conditions, and the present application does not limit it here.

[0046] Exemplarily, the width of each of the ice-lifting blades 312 at one end close to the rotating shaft 311 is greater than that at the end away from the rotating shaft 311. Specifically, because the ice cubes slide out of the ice outlet 1111 by squeezing force or gravity, the structure of the ice-lifting blade 312 needs to reduce friction, otherwise there will be ice clamping with the guide plate 32, so the width of the ice blade close to the rotating shaft 311 needs to be greater than the width of the part away from the rotating shaft 311. In the process of the ice cubes rotating with the ice blades, the rear end of the ice blade 312 with a wider width is used to lift the ice cubes, so that the ice cubes can slide out from the front end of the ice blade with a smaller width and fall into the guide plate 32.

[0047] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 The present invention also provides a refrigerator 200, which can be a single-door refrigerator, a double-door refrigerator, etc. The refrigerator includes a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment.
