[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that cools water through an evaporator by a refrigerant of a refrigeration system, adopts a refrigeration system, uses water as a carrier, and makes ice after passing through a certain device under the energized state. According to the principle of the evaporator and different production methods, the shapes of the generated ice cubes are also different.

[0003] In the current ice crushing mechanism of an ice maker, when crushing ice, the ice cubes may be too large, resulting in the ice crushing structure being unable to crush large ice cubes, and manual crushing into small pieces is required, resulting in a reduction in work efficiency.

[0004] For example, in an ice crushing mechanism of an ice maker in a Chinese patent document (application publication number CN219037179U) of the prior art, the device drives a connecting rod to move left and right through a centrifugal motor, and at the same time drives a crushing plate to approach the ice cubes. The crushing plate crushes the ice cubes towards the toothed plate. The crushed ice cubes reach the crushing rod through a filter plate, and the first motor drives the crushing rod to crush the ice cubes. After the crushed ice cubes reach the inclined plate, they are discharged through a discharge pipe. This prior art has such a problem: the ice cubes may be too large, resulting in the ice crushing structure being unable to crush large ice cubes, and manual crushing into small pieces is required, resulting in a reduction in work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this current situation, there is an urgent need to design and produce an ice crushing mechanism of an ice maker to meet the actual use needs. Content of the Utility Model

A grinding disc is rotatably connected to the side of the first moving plate away from the first pushing plate, and a first motor for providing power for ice crushing is fixedly connected to the side of the grinding disc. A fifth telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the side of the outer shell, and a crushing plate is fixedly connected to the extending end of the fifth telescopic rod. A sixth telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the crushing plate, and a second pushing plate is fixedly connected to the extending end of the sixth telescopic rod.

[0008] Preferably, a conveying device for transporting ice cubes is installed on the upper side of the first placing plate, and a second placing plate is fixedly connected inside the outer shell.

The second telescopic rod is started to drive the first pushing plate to move, cutting the ice cubes into small pieces and pushing them onto the second placing plate. The third telescopic rod is started to drive the grinding disc to move, and the first motor drives the grinding disc to rotate to grind and crush the ice cubes. Then the crushed ice is transported to the third placing plate. The fifth telescopic rod is started to drive the crushing plate to move to crush the ice cubes. Then the sixth telescopic rod drives the second pushing plate to move to prevent the ice cubes from getting stuck in the crushing plate, breaking the ice cubes layer by layer to avoid the ice cubes being too large, which may cause the ice cubes not to come into contact with the crushing device and affect the crushing efficiency.

[0016] For the ice crushing mechanism of this ice maker, the seventh telescopic rod drives the discharge port to move, driving the discharge port to move back and forth in a cycle, spreading the crushed ice evenly in the storage box. The second motor is started to drive the rotating disc to rotate, driving the striking member to move back and forth to repeatedly strike the storage box, reducing the gaps between the crushed ice and increasing the storage capacity.
