AI Technical Summary
In existing ice makers, as the ice volume decreases during the ice removal process, the ice at the bottom of the freezer becomes difficult to remove, requiring the user to reach deep inside, which is inconvenient.
The refrigerator is designed with a vertically continuous structure and a gravity locking mechanism. It determines the height of ice blocks in the drawer by detecting the weight of the ice blocks, preventing accidental operation and improving convenience.
It makes it easy to retrieve ice blocks from deep inside the ice storage drawer, avoiding the need to reach your arm deep inside, improving the convenience of ice retrieval and preventing accidental operation.
