In this embodiment, the sealing member 131 is provided with the matching portion 1311 on one side and the first connecting portion 1312 on the other side. One side of the sealing member 131 is connected to the transmission member 1322 through the matching portion 1311 and is connected to the main bracket 110 through the first connecting portion 1312. The matching portion 1311 extends toward one side along the top outer edge of the sealing member 131. An opening 116 corresponding to the matching portion 1311 is provided in the main bracket 110, and the opening 116 extends along the circumference of the main bracket 110, so that the matching portion 1311 can extend out of the main bracket 110 and be transmission-connected to the transmission member 1322. The opening 116 is for the matching portion 1 The rotation of the sealing device 130 provides sufficient space. The driving motor 1321 is connected to the transmission member 1322 through the output shaft of the motor 151. The driving motor 1321 drives the transmission member 1322 to rotate circumferentially, and the transmission member 1322 drives the matching portion 1311 to rotate relative to the opening 116, thereby driving the sealing member 131 to rotate in the rotating cavity 1121. The structure is simple and easy to implement. Preferably, in order to further improve the transmission efficiency of the transmission member 1322, the transmission member 1322 and the matching portion 1311 are respectively provided with matching meshing portions. The transmission member 1322 and the matching portion 1311 are meshed and connected through their respective meshing portions to achieve transmission. Optionally, in order to ensure the normal operation of the sealing device 130, the length of the matching portion 1311 is set to be greater than or equal to the rotation distance of the sealing member 131. Further preferably, the length of the matching portion 1311 is approximately one-third to two-thirds of the outer edge length of the sealing member 131.In addition, the first connecting portion 1312 is provided in the seal 131 to enhance the rotational stability of the seal 131. Optionally, the second connecting portion 1125 extends upward from the bottom wall 162 of the main bracket 110. The first connecting portion 1312 and the second connecting portion 1125 can adopt a sleeve connection structure similar to a shaft-hole connection. When the seal 131 is rotated by the first driving device 132, the first connecting portion 1312 can be driven to rotate relative to the second connecting portion 1125 to ensure normal rotation of the seal 131. Preferably, to improve the production efficiency and assembly efficiency of the seal 131, the mating portion 1311 and the first connecting portion 1312 are integrally formed with the seal 131.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 —4. Figure 8As shown, the ice crushing assembly includes an ice crushing knife 120 arranged between the ice crushing chamber 111 and the second ice outlet channel 114. The ice crushing knife 120 is arranged close to the second ice outlet 1152, and the blade 121 of the ice crushing knife 120 can extend into the ice crushing chamber 111 through the second ice outlet 1152. A gap 1150 is formed between the ice crushing knife 120 and the second ice outlet 1152, through which the second-state ice can pass and is connected to the second ice outlet channel 114. In this embodiment, a first mounting portion 1155 for mounting the ice crushing blade 120 is provided at the lower portion of the partition 115, and the first mounting portion 1155 is located on one side of the second ice row port 1152. One end of the ice crushing blade 120 is provided with a second mounting portion 122 corresponding to the first mounting portion 1155, and the other end is provided with the blade 121. Optionally, the first mounting portion 1155 and the second mounting portion 122 can be connected by a threaded connection, or the ice crushing blade 120 can be detachably mounted on the partition 115 using fasteners such as screws and bolts. During installation, the first mounting portion 1155 is aligned with the second mounting portion 122 to form a detachable connection. The ice-crushing knife 120 should be connected so as to be installed on the partition 115, and the ice-crushing knife 120 extends obliquely upward into the ice-crushing chamber 111 relative to the second ice-discharging port 1152, so that the blade 121 can extend into the ice-crushing chamber 111, and the gap is formed between the ice-crushing knife 120 and the second ice-discharging port 1152; when the first-state ice is pushed by the ice-guide 140 and rotates relative to the blade 121 of the ice-crushing knife 120, the first-state ice can be further chopped by the blade 121 to form the second-state ice, and the second-state ice can fall into the second ice-discharging channel 114 through the gap 1150. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first ice discharge port 1151 and the second ice discharge port 1152 are spaced apart along the circumference of the partition 115, and the ice crushing blade 120 extends obliquely upward relative to the second ice discharge port 1152 in a direction away from the first ice discharge port 1151, that is, the blade 121 faces away from the first ice discharge port 1151; Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The arrow S1 in FIG. 1 indicates that the ice guide 140 rotates counterclockwise. Figure 6The arrow S2 in the figure indicates that the ice guide 140 rotates clockwise. The ice guide 140 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise in the ice crushing chamber 111. When the ice guide 140 rotates clockwise, the ice guide 140 pushes the first-state ice to rotate clockwise, so that the first-state ice continuously approaches the blade 121 of the ice crushing knife 120 and forms the second-state ice, which is beneficial for the ice purifier to output the second-state ice; when the ice guide 140 rotates counterclockwise, the ice guide 140 pushes the first-state ice to rotate counterclockwise, so that the first-state ice is preferentially output from the first ice outlet channel 113, and the first-state ice continuously approaches the back of the ice crushing knife 120, which is beneficial for the ice purifier to output the first-state ice.

[0044] Further, such as Figure 6As shown in FIG. 8 , the ice crushing device 100 further includes a second driving device 150 for driving the ice guide 140 to rotate. The ice guide 140 is provided with a third connecting portion 141 connected to the second driving device 150, and an ice pushing portion 142 connected to the third connecting portion 141 and placed in the ice crushing cavity 111. The ice pushing portions 142 are provided with a plurality of ice pushing portions 142 and are arranged along the circumference of the third connecting portion 141. An ice guide cavity 142 communicating with the ice crushing cavity 111 is formed between any two of the ice pushing portions 142. 3. Each of the ice guide cavities 143 is capable of accommodating ice in the first state. Each of the ice pushers 142 is opposite to the partition 115 and forms a rotation gap 144. The blade 121 of the ice crushing knife 120 extends into the rotation gap 144 through the second ice discharge port 1152. The second driving device 150 is capable of driving the ice guide 140 to rotate in the ice crushing cavity 111 and driving the ice in the first state to rotate relative to the first ice discharge port 1151 and the blade 121 through each of the ice pushers 142. In this embodiment, the third connecting portion 141 can be set as a connecting shaft, and a plurality of the ice pushing portions 142 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the third connecting shaft, and each of the ice pushing portions 142 is placed in the ice crushing chamber 111, so that an ice guide chamber 143 connected to the ice crushing chamber 111 is formed between any two of the ice pushing portions 142. Preferably, in order to improve the production efficiency and assembly efficiency of the ice guide member 140, the ice guide member 140 as a whole can be an integrated molding structure.In addition, in some embodiments, in addition to outputting different types of ice cubes through the first ice outlet channel 113 and the second ice outlet channel 114 respectively, the ice purifier can also output the first state ice and the second state ice at the same time. In this embodiment, the ice guide 140 is connected to the second driving device 150 through the third connecting portion 141, the first ice outlet 1151 and the second ice outlet 1152 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the partition 115, and the ice crushing knife 120 extends obliquely upward relative to the second ice outlet 1152 in a direction away from the first ice outlet 1151, that is, the direction of the blade 121 is away from the first ice outlet 1151; when the sealing device 130 is in the open state, the first ice outlet channel 113 is connected to the first ice outlet 1151, and the second driving device 150 drives the first ice outlet 1151 to the second state. The ice guide 140 rotates in the ice crushing chamber 111 and drives the first-state ice in each ice guide chamber 143 to rotate clockwise relative to the first ice discharge port 1151 and the blade 121 through each ice pushing portion 142. During this process, the first-state ice in the ice guide chamber 143 connected to the first ice discharge port 1151 can enter the first ice discharge channel 113 and be directly output. The first-state ice in the ice guide chamber 143 connected to the second ice discharge port 1152 rotates toward the direction close to the blade 121 and is further crushed by the ice crushing blade 120 to form the second-state ice under the interaction between the corresponding ice pushing portion 142 and the blade 121. The second-state ice then enters the second ice discharge channel 114 through the gap 1150 and is output. In order to ensure that the ice guide 140 rotates smoothly in the ice crushing chamber 111, the ice guide 140 is opposite to the inner wall of the ice crushing chamber 111 and forms the rotation gap 144, and the blade 121 of the ice crushing knife 120 extends into the rotation gap 144 to prevent the blade 121 from extending too far into the ice crushing chamber 111 and blocking the rotation of the ice guide 140, thereby realizing the ice crushing function of the ice crushing device 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 7As shown, the second driving device 150 includes a motor 151 and a transmission connecting member 152 provided between the motor 151 and the ice guide 140. The motor 151 and the transmission connecting member 152 are placed below the main bracket 110. The ice guide 140 is connected to the transmission connecting member 152 through the third connecting portion 141. A through hole adapted to the third connecting portion 141 is provided in the main bracket 110. The third connecting portion 141 passes through the through hole and is connected to the transmission connecting member 152. The motor 151 is connected to the transmission connecting member 152 through the output shaft of the motor 151. The transmission connecting member 152 is driven to rotate by the motor 151, and the transmission connecting member 152 drives the third connecting portion 141 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the ice guide 140 in the ice crushing chamber 111. The second driving device 150 has a simple structure and is easy to implement. In addition, a waterproof portion 153 is provided on the side of the transmission connector 152 facing the main bracket 110. The waterproof portion 153 can cover the motor 151 to limit the melted ice water in the main bracket 110 from dripping into the motor 151, thereby protecting the motor 151. During the rotation of the transmission connector 152, the waterproof portion 153 rotates synchronously with the transmission connector 152. The melted ice water leaking from the main bracket 110 can be bounced away by the waterproof portion 153, or when the transmission connector 152 is stationary, the waterproof portion 153 can also prevent the melted ice water from dripping into the motor 151.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] like Figure 4 、 Figure 6As shown in FIG. 7 , the second embodiment can be a further improvement of the first embodiment.

Specifically, the partition 115 is further provided with a water guide wall 1153 opposite to the ice crushing chamber 111, and a first drainage port 1154 connected between the ice crushing chamber 111 and the ice discharge chamber 112.

In this embodiment, the partition 115 can be set as a conical wall body, and the water guide wall 1153 can be understood as the inner wall of the partition 115 opposite to the ice crushing chamber 111. The water guide wall 1153 extends downward along the height direction of the ice crushing chamber 111, and the inner diameter of the water guide wall 1153 gradually decreases along its extension direction, so as to facilitate the downward transportation of ice cubes and ice melt water through the water guide wall 1153. The ice cubes and ice melt water in the ice crushing chamber 111 can be directly moved downward along the water guide wall 1153 to the bottom of the ice crushing chamber 111 due to gravity, which can improve the transportation efficiency of ice cubes and ice melt water and reduce the energy consumption of the ice purifier.The first drain port 1154, the first ice discharge port 1151 and the second ice discharge port 1152 are respectively arranged in the water guide wall 1153 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the first drain port 1154 is located at the lower side of the first ice discharge port 1151 and the second ice discharge port 1152. The first drain port 1154 is arranged close to the bottom end of the water guide wall 1153 to facilitate the flow of melted ice water along the water guide wall 1153 to the first drain port 1154 and enter the drainage channel from the first drain port 1154. In this embodiment, since the first limiting portion 1122, the second limiting portion 1123 and the third limiting portion 1124 are arranged in the ice discharge chamber 112 at intervals along the circumferential direction, a gap is formed between the second limiting portion 1123 and the third limiting portion 1124. A drainage cavity is connected to the drainage channel, and the first limiting part 1122, the second limiting part 1123 and the third limiting part 1124 are respectively provided with drainage holes connected to the drainage channel, or the first limiting part 1122, the second limiting part 1123 and the third limiting part 1124 are respectively opposite to the second connecting part 1125 in the main bracket 110 and form a drainage gap 1126 connected to the drainage channel, the melted ice water flows into the drainage cavity through the first drain port 1154, and can be discharged to the outside of the main bracket 110 along each of the drainage gaps 1126, so as to realize the cleaning of the melted ice water in the ice crushing device 100, avoid the melted ice water from remaining in the ice crushing device 100 and easily breeding bacteria, thereby ensuring the quality of the ice and the safety of users. It should be noted that the drainage channel is arranged between the water guide wall 1153, the first drain port 1154, the drainage cavity and each of the drainage gaps 1126, and the drainage channel is connected to the first ice outlet channel 113 and the second ice outlet channel 114, so that the melted water of the ice can be discharged to the outside along the drainage channel, the first ice outlet channel 113 and the second ice outlet channel 114.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the third embodiment can be a combination of the first and second embodiments, or a further improvement of the first or second embodiments. The ice crushing device 100 further includes an ice discharge chute 160 connected to the first ice discharge channel 113 and the second ice discharge channel 114, and an ice discharge port 161 provided at the end of the ice discharge chute 160.

The first side wall 164 and the second side wall 165 are arranged opposite to each other and connected between the top wall 163 and the bottom wall 162. The ice outlet chute 160 is formed by the top wall 163, the first side wall 164, the bottom wall 162 and the second side wall 165. The head end of the ice discharge chute 160 is connected to the main bracket 110 through the top wall 163, the first side wall 164, the bottom wall 162 and the second side wall 165, and the end is provided with an ice discharge port 161. Ice in the first ice discharge channel 113 and the second ice discharge channel 114 can enter the ice discharge chute 160 through the open port 117 and slide along the ice discharge chute 160 toward the ice discharge port 161 to the user; the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge chute 160 is the direction from the first ice discharge channel 113 or the second ice discharge channel 114 toward the ice discharge port 161. By arranging the first ice guide wall 1641 and the second ice guide wall 1651 whose spacing gradually decreases along the ice discharging direction, the ice purifier can guide the ice in the first state or the ice in the second state to gather along the ice discharging channel when discharging ice, so that the ice cubes can be concentrated and distributed together when discharging ice to facilitate the user to receive the ice; in addition, the bottom wall 162 extends obliquely downward along the ice discharging direction, so that the spacing between the top wall 163 and the bottom wall 162 gradually increases along the ice discharging direction, so as to facilitate the expansion of the volume of the ice discharging chute 160, promote the smooth sliding of ice cubes, and avoid the ice cubes from being blocked at the ice outlet 161.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 As shown, the ice discharge chute 160 further includes an ice blocking portion 166 provided on one side of the bottom wall 162 and the ice discharge port 161, and the ice blocking portion 166 is provided between the top wall 163, the first side wall 164 and the second side wall 165; in this embodiment, one end of the first side wall 164 and the second side wall 165 are connected to form the entire side wall of the ice discharge chute 160, and the overall side wall is connected between the top wall 163 and the bottom wall 162, and the ice blocking portion 166 is formed by the wall bodies of the top wall 163, the first side wall 164 and the second side wall 165 respectively opposite to the ice discharge port 161, and the ice blocking portion 166 limits the escape of ice cubes when being discharged along the ice discharge chute 160, thereby improving the ice discharge efficiency of the ice purifier.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the ice discharge chute 160 further includes a drainage groove 167 and a water retaining portion 168 disposed between the bottom wall 162 and the ice discharge port 161 along the ice discharge direction of the ice discharge chute 160, and a second drain outlet 169 disposed between the drainage groove 167 and the bottom wall 162. The water retaining portion 168 extends upward along the height direction of the ice discharge chute 160. The bottom end of the bottom wall 162 extends horizontally toward the ice discharge port 161, and the water retaining portion 168 is connected to a side of the bottom wall 162 near the ice discharge port 161. The water retaining portion 168 extends vertically toward the top wall 163, forming the downwardly concave drainage groove 167 between the water retaining portion 168 and the bottom wall 162. The drainage groove 167 is disposed near the bottom end of the bottom wall 162. Since the main support 110 is provided with a drainage channel as described in the above-mentioned embodiment 2, and the drainage channel is connected to the ice discharge chute 160 through the first ice discharge channel 113 and the second ice discharge channel 114, the melted ice water in the drainage channel can also flow directly along the ice discharge chute 160 and be discharged to the outside of the ice crushing device 100 through the second drainage port 169, which is conducive to the discharge of the melted ice water by the ice crushing device 100; if the melted ice water to be discharged is large, the drainage pressure of the second drainage port 169 can be relieved by the drainage groove 167 to prevent the melted ice water from flowing over the water retaining portion 168 and leaking out of the ice discharge port 161, thereby ensuring the quality of the ice output by the ice purifier and optimizing the user experience; it should be noted that the water retaining portion 168 only needs to extend toward the top wall 163 to be able to prevent water from leaking out of the ice discharge port 161, so as to prevent the water retaining portion 168 from being too high and affecting the ice discharge of the ice purifier.

[0052] In some embodiments, a cold water tank may be provided in the ice purifier, and the cold water tank is provided below the ice crushing device 100.

[0053] Example 4:

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 5 , the only difference between this fourth embodiment and the aforementioned first to third embodiments is that the main bracket 110 includes a first shell 101 and a second shell 102 arranged vertically. The ice crushing chamber 111 is disposed within the first shell 101, and the ice discharge chamber 112 is disposed within the second shell 102. At least a portion of the first shell 101 can extend into the ice discharge chamber 112, and the partition 115 is disposed within the portion of the first shell 101 that extends into the ice discharge chamber 112. The first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are detachably connected vertically to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the various components of the ice crushing device 100. In some embodiments, an opening 116 is formed between the first shell 101 and the second shell 102, through which the mating portion 1311 passes. The opening 116 extends along the outer circumference of the first shell 101 and the second shell 102, thereby providing ample rotational space for the mating portion 1311. In some embodiments, the ice discharging chute 160 is connected to one side of the second shell 102 , so that the ice crushing cavity 111 is in communication with the ice discharging chute 160 .

[0055] On the other hand, the specific steps of the ice making method based on the above ice purifier are as follows:

[0056] Pure water is produced by a water purification device, and the pure water is directed to the ice-making device 200 through a pure water flow channel; specifically, the water purification device includes a raw water tank and a filter assembly, the raw water tank contains raw water, a raw water flow channel is provided between the raw water tank and the raw water input end of the filter assembly, and a pure water flow channel is provided between the pure water output end of the filter assembly and the ice-making device 200. The raw water in the raw water tank is directed to the filter assembly through the raw water flow channel for filtration and production of drinkable pure water, and then the pure water is directed to the ice-making device 200 through the pure water flow channel.

[0057] The ice making device 200 makes ice, and the ice cubes made by the ice making device 200 are transported to the ice crushing chamber 111 through the ice delivery channel 300. The ice cubes entering the ice crushing chamber 111 from the ice making device 200 form the first state of ice. Specifically, the ice making device 200 includes a refrigerator 210 and an ice making assembly 220. The refrigerator 210 is provided with an ice storage chamber 211 that is connected to the ice delivery channel 300. The ice making assembly 220 is installed in the refrigerator 210 and is located at On the upper side of the ice storage chamber 211, the pure water flow channel is connected between the pure water output end of the filter assembly and the ice making assembly 220. Inside the ice purifier, the ice delivery channel 300 is connected between the ice storage chamber 211 and the ice crushing chamber 111. Pure water is injected into the ice making assembly 220 through the pure water flow channel, and then ice cubes are made by the ice making assembly 220 and poured downward into the ice storage chamber 211. The ice cubes fall along the ice delivery channel 300 and enter the ice crushing chamber 111, and the first state of ice is formed in the ice crushing chamber 111.

[0058] The first-state ice is output through the first ice outlet channel 113; the first-state ice is further crushed by the ice crushing assembly to form the second-state ice, and the second-state ice is output through the second ice outlet channel 114. According to the various embodiments of the above-mentioned ice crushing device 100, through the different operating states of the sealing device 130, the different rotation directions of the ice guide 140 and the orientation of the blade 121 of the ice crushing knife 120, the ice purifier has at least three ice output modes; specifically, the first-state ice that freely falls along the ice delivery channel 300 into the ice crushing chamber 111 is scattered in each of the ice guide cavities 143, and each of the ice guide cavities 143 is separated by any two of the ice pushing parts 142 in the ice guide 140 and the inner wall of the ice crushing chamber 111 (i.e., the inner wall of the main bracket 110). The ice guide 140 is rotated in the ice crushing chamber 111 by the second driving device 150, and the ice pushing parts 142 drive the ice in the first state to rotate relative to the first ice discharge port 1151 and the blade 121 of the ice crushing knife 120. The ice crushing knife 120 extends obliquely upward relative to the second ice discharge port 1152 and the blade 121 extends into the ice crushing chamber 111, and the blade 121 faces away from the first ice discharge port 1151. When the sealing device 130 is in the open state, the first ice discharge port 1151 and the ice crushing knife 120 are rotated relative to the first ice discharge port 1151. The first ice outlet channel 113 is connected, and when the ice guide 140 rotates counterclockwise in the ice crushing chamber 111, the ice in the first state is pushed to rotate counterclockwise by the ice pushing parts 142, so that the ice in the first state directly enters the first ice outlet channel 113 through the first ice outlet 1151 and is preferentially output from the first ice outlet channel 113, and the ice in the first state continuously approaches the back of the ice crushing knife 120, thereby limiting the ice in the first state from being crushed by the blade 121 of the ice crushing knife 120 to form ice in the second state, so that the ice purifier can output the ice in the second state. First-state ice; when the sealing device 130 is in the sealed state, the first ice discharge port 1151 is blocked by the sealing member 131, and the ice guide 140 rotates clockwise in the ice crushing chamber 111, the ice pushers 142 push the first-state ice to rotate clockwise, causing the first-state ice to continuously approach the blade 121 of the ice crushing blade 120 and form the second-state ice. The second-state ice enters the second ice discharge channel 114 through the second ice discharge port 1152 and is discharged, so that the ice purifier can output the second-state ice.When the sealing device 130 is in the open state, the first ice discharge port 1151 is connected to the first ice discharge channel 113, and the ice guide 140 rotates clockwise in the ice crushing chamber 111, the first-state ice in each of the ice guide cavities 143 will pass through the first and second ice discharge ports 1151 and 1152. The ice pushers 142 push the first-state ice clockwise, and some of the first-state ice will gradually approach the blade 121 of the ice crushing blade 120 and form the second-state ice. This second-state ice can enter the second ice discharge channel 114 through the second ice discharge port 1152 and be discharged. Some of the first-state ice can directly enter the first ice discharge channel 113 from the first ice discharge port 1151 and be discharged, so that the ice purifier can simultaneously output the first and second-state ice. Through the above configuration, the ice purifier has multiple ice discharge modes to meet the ice usage needs in different application scenarios and optimize the user experience.
