[0031] Specifically, one end of the ice crushing box 3 is provided with the mounting plate 32, and the mounting plate 32 is provided with the mounting hole 321 for accommodating and fixedly connecting the base 313. The mounting hole 321 is arranged in consideration of the size and shape of the base 313, so as to ensure that the base 313 can be stably mounted on the ice crushing box 3. The base 313 serves as a connecting component between the ice crushing knife 311 and the connecting shaft 312, one end of the base 313 extends into the ice crushing box 3 and is connected with the ice crushing knife 311, so as to ensure that the ice crushing knife 311 can stably crush ice blocks during rotation, and the other end of the base 313 extends out of the ice crushing box 3 and is connected with the connecting shaft 312 of the motor 4, so as to realize power transmission. The first sealing ring 33 is arranged between the base 313 and the mounting hole 321, so as to prevent water or ice particles generated during ice crushing from seeping out of the gap between the base 313 and the mounting hole 321, maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the inside of the ice crushing box 3, and prevent water from damaging the electrical components such as the motor 4.

[0032] In this optional embodiment, the base 313 connects the ice crushing knife 311 and the connecting shaft 312, so that the connection between the ice crushing assembly 31 and the ice crushing box 3 is more stable, the shaking or loosening phenomenon that may occur during ice crushing is reduced, and the ice crushing efficiency and safety are improved. The first sealing ring 33 effectively prevents water and ice particles from seeping out, maintains the cleanliness and dryness of the inside of the ice crushing box 3, and prolongs the service life of the ice crushing mechanism.

[0033] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 The ice crushing assembly 31 further comprises a fixing seat 314, the fixing seat 314 is sleeved on one end of the base 313 extending out of the ice crushing box 3, and the second sealing ring 34 is arranged between the fixing seat 314 and the mounting plate 32.

[0034] Specifically, the fixed seat 314 is sleeved on the end of the base 313 extending outside the ice crushing box 3, and is tightly connected with the base 313, thereby not only enhancing the stability of the base 313, but also preventing the base 313 from shaking or deviating during rotation. On the basis that the first sealing ring 33 is arranged between the base 313 and the mounting plate 32, the second sealing ring 34 is additionally arranged between the fixed seat 314 and the mounting plate 32, so that the double sealing further improves the sealing performance of the ice crushing assembly 31, effectively prevents moisture, ice particles or other impurities from seeping out from the gap between the base 313 and the mounting plate 32 and the gap between the fixed seat 314 and the mounting plate 32, and maintains the cleanliness and dryness of the ice crushing environment.

[0035] In the optional embodiment, the fixed seat 314 enhances the stability of the base 313, prevents the base 313 from shaking or deviating during rotation, and improves the overall structural strength of the ice crushing assembly 31. The double sealing structure (the first sealing ring 33 and the second sealing ring 34) further improves the sealing performance of the ice crushing assembly 31, effectively prevents moisture, ice particles and the like from seeping out, and prolongs the service life of the ice crushing mechanism.

[0036] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 4 , the output shaft 41 of the motor 4 is provided with a connecting hole 411, the hole wall around the connecting hole 411 is provided with an inner spline 412, the outer peripheral wall of the connecting shaft 312 is provided with an outer spline 315, the connecting shaft 312 is connected in the connecting hole 411, and the inner spline 412 cooperates with the outer spline 315.

[0037] Specifically, the output shaft 41 of the motor 4 is provided with a connecting hole 411, and the hole wall around the connecting hole 411 is machined with an inner spline 412. At the same time, the outer peripheral wall of the connecting shaft 312 is machined with an outer spline 315. When the connecting shaft 312 is inserted into the connecting hole 411 of the output shaft 41 of the motor 4, the outer spline 315 and the inner spline 412 are engaged with each other to form a stable connection. Due to the close cooperation between the inner spline 412 and the outer spline 315, the rotating power of the motor 4 can be smoothly transmitted to the connecting shaft 312 through the connecting hole 411, and then drive the ice crushing blade 311 of the ice crushing assembly 31 to rotate, which not only ensures the effective transmission of power, but also prevents the connecting shaft 312 from loosening or falling off during rotation. The cooperation of the inner spline 412 and the outer spline 315 also has a certain axial positioning effect. When the connecting shaft 312 is inserted into the connecting hole 411 and rotated to the appropriate position, the teeth of the outer spline 315 and the teeth of the inner spline 412 are embedded with each other, thereby limiting the movement of the connecting shaft 312 in the axial direction, and ensuring the stable operation of the ice crushing assembly 31.

[0038] In this optional embodiment, the cooperation between the inner spline 412 and the outer spline 315 significantly improves the stability of the connection between the output shaft 41 of the motor 4 and the connecting shaft 312, preventing the connecting shaft 312 from loosening or falling off during rotation, and ensuring the stable operation of the ice crushing assembly 31. Due to the close cooperation between the inner spline 412 and the outer spline 315, the rotating power of the motor 4 can be smoothly transmitted to the connecting shaft 312, reducing the loss during power transmission and improving the ice crushing efficiency.

[0039] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 4 It also includes a mounting seat 12 connected to the outside of the machine body 1, the mounting seat 12 is used to install the motor 4, the upper end of the mounting seat 12 is located around the output shaft 41 of the motor 4 and is provided with a plurality of connecting blocks 121, one side of the mounting plate 32 is located around the four corners of the base 313 and is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 322, the connecting blocks 121 and the connecting grooves 322 correspond one by one, and the connecting blocks 121 are used to be inserted into the connecting grooves 322.

[0040] Specifically, the upper end of the mounting seat 12 is provided with a plurality of connecting blocks 121 around the output shaft 41 of the motor 4, and at the same time, one side of the mounting plate 32 is also provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 322 around the four corners of the base 313, the shape and size of the connecting grooves 322 match the connecting blocks 121 to ensure that the connecting blocks 121 can be smoothly inserted. When installing the ice crushing assembly 31, align the connecting blocks 121 on the mounting seat 12 with the connecting grooves 322 on the mounting plate 32, and then apply appropriate force to make the connecting blocks 121 inserted into the connecting grooves 322, to ensure the tightness and stability of the connection.

[0041] In this optional embodiment, the insertion of the connecting blocks 121 and the connecting grooves 322 makes the assembly process between the mounting seat 12 and the mounting plate 32 more convenient and fast, reducing the assembly difficulty and cost. The close cooperation between the connecting blocks 121 and the connecting grooves 322 enhances the structural strength between the mounting seat 12 and the mounting plate 32, so that the ice crushing assembly 31 can withstand greater load and impact force, improving the overall durability.

[0042] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 4 One of the connecting blocks 121 is provided with a positioning hole 1211, and one of the connecting grooves 322 is provided with a positioning column 3221, when the connecting block 121 is inserted into the connecting groove 322, the positioning column 3221 is inserted into the positioning hole 1211.

[0043] Specifically, a positioning hole 1211 is arranged on one (or several) of the connecting blocks 121, and the positioning hole 1211 has a certain size and shape to accommodate the insertion of the positioning column 3221. A positioning column 3221 is arranged in the corresponding connecting groove 322, and the size and shape of the positioning column 3221 match those of the positioning hole 1211 to ensure smooth insertion and a tight fit. When installing the ice crushing assembly 31, first align the connecting blocks 121 on the mounting seat 12 with the connecting grooves 322 on the mounting plate 32. As the connecting blocks 121 are gradually inserted, the positioning columns 3221 will gradually approach the positioning holes 1211. When the connecting blocks 121 are fully inserted into the connecting grooves 322, the positioning columns 3221 are also inserted into the positioning holes 1211. At this time, the external spline 315 on the connecting shaft 312 engages with the internal spline 412 on the wall of the connecting hole 411, thereby achieving precise positioning and fixation.

[0051] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , the ice storage box 2 is detachably connected to the body 1, and the ice storage box 2 is connected to the handle 21 on the side wall outside the body 1.

[0052] Specifically, when the user needs to take out or move the ice storage box 2, the user can apply force by grasping the handle 21. The design of the handle 21 enables the user to apply force more conveniently and reduces the need for direct contact with the ice storage box 2, thereby reducing the risk of hand injury.

[0053] In this optional embodiment, the handle 21 enables the user to take out and move the ice storage box 2 more easily, thereby improving the convenience of operation.
