[0048] In related technologies, ice-making function has become a standard feature of refrigeration equipment. For example, refrigerators with ice-making function have a refrigeration space to store the ice maker. Refrigerators generally have a refrigerator compartment at the top and a freezer compartment at the bottom. There is a separate ice-making space in the refrigerator compartment. The ice-making space consists of a water system, an ice-making system, an ice storage system, and an ice dispensing system. However, existing ice dispensing devices can only output whole ice or crushed ice, which cannot meet the user's dual needs for dispensing whole ice and crushed ice.
[0049] This application provides an ice dispensing device and a refrigeration equipment to solve the problem that existing ice dispensing devices cannot switch between dispensing whole ice and crushed ice. The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1-6 Please provide an explanation.
[0050] The ice-discharging device provided in this application embodiment is referenced. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes an ice crushing box 100, an ice crushing assembly 200, and an ice selection door 300. The ice crushing box 100 forms an ice crushing chamber 110 and an ice outlet 120 located at the bottom of the ice crushing chamber 110. The ice outlet 120 includes a first region 121 and a second region 122. The ice crushing assembly 200 is disposed in the ice crushing chamber 110 for crushing ice. The ice selection door 300 is movably disposed in the ice outlet 120 for opening or closing the first region 121. The ice dispensing device is adapted to switch between a first ice dispensing mode and a second ice dispensing mode. In the first ice dispensing mode, the ice crushing assembly 200 is closed, and the ice selection door 300 opens the first region 121. In the second ice dispensing mode, the ice crushing assembly 200 is open, and the ice selection door 300 closes the first region 121.
[0051] It is understood that in this embodiment, the ice outlet 120 of the ice crushing chamber 110 includes a first region 121 and a second region 122, which are adjacent and connected. The ice crushing assembly 200 is located inside the ice crushing box 100, and its main function is to crush the ice stored in the ice crushing chamber. The ice crushing assembly 200 may include a cutting or striking mechanism to cut or break the ice. The ice selection door 300 is a movable door located at the ice outlet 120, which can open or close the first region 121 of the ice outlet 120 as needed, thereby controlling the ice dispensing mode of the ice dispensing device.
[0052] Specifically, in the first ice dispensing mode (whole ice dispensing mode), the ice crushing component 200 is in the off state and does not perform ice crushing operation. At the same time, the ice selection gate 300 opens the first area 121, that is, the ice outlet 120 is fully opened, and whole ice blocks can be dispensed from the first area 121 of the ice outlet 120.
[0053] In the second ice dispensing mode (crushed ice dispensing mode), the ice crushing component 200 is activated, allowing the ice blocks stored in the ice crushing chamber 110 to be crushed. Selecting the ice gate 300 closes the first area 121, that is, partially closes the ice outlet 120, preventing whole ice blocks from being discharged directly through the ice outlet 120. However, crushed ice can be discharged from the second area 122 of the ice outlet 120, allowing the user to collect the crushed ice blocks.
[0054] For example, the ice selection door 300 is located at the bottom of the ice crusher 100 and outside the ice crusher 100, so as to avoid occupying the space inside the ice crushing chamber 110 and at the same time not affecting the normal operation of the ice crushing assembly 200.
[0055] For example, the ice selection door 300 can be slidably set at the ice outlet 120 or rotated at the ice outlet 120 to open or close the first area 121, thereby switching between whole ice and crushed ice dispensing modes.
[0056] In this embodiment, both whole ice and crushed ice can be discharged from the same ice outlet 120, but they are discharged through different ice outlet areas, which saves additional outlets and corresponding mechanical structures, thereby saving internal space of the ice discharge device and reducing space occupation.
[0057] The areas of the first region 121 and the second region 122 can be equal or unequal, and can be designed according to the ice discharge requirements. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0058] By opening or closing the first area 121 of the ice outlet door through the movable door, the ice outlet area of the ice outlet 120 can be adjusted, thereby allowing the user to switch between discharging whole ice or crushed ice according to their needs.
[0059] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the ice dispensing device includes a mounting base 400, a driving component 500, and a connecting rod 600. The mounting base 400 is mounted on the ice crushing box 100, the driving component 500 is mounted on the mounting base 400, and the connecting rod 600 is rotatably mounted on the ice crushing box 100. The connecting rod 600 connects the driving component 500 and the ice selection gate 300, and is used to drive the ice selection gate 300 to rotate under the drive of the driving component 500.
[0060] Optionally, the mounting base 400 is installed above the ice crusher 100 to provide a stable mounting platform for the drive unit 500, which can be a motor or other power source. One end of the connecting rod 600 is connected to the drive unit 500, and the other end is connected to the ice selection door 300. The drive unit 500 drives the connecting rod 600 to rotate, which in turn drives the ice selection door 300 to rotate, thereby switching the ice dispensing mode.
[0061] When the user selects the first ice dispensing mode, the drive unit 500 drives the connecting rod 600 to rotate, causing the ice selection gate 300 to open the first area 121, allowing whole ice blocks to be discharged directly from the first area 121 of the ice outlet 120. When the user switches to the second ice dispensing mode, the drive unit 500 drives the ice selection gate 300 to rotate to close the first area 121, and crushed ice can be discharged through the second area 122 of the ice outlet 120.
[0062] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 400 is provided with a first sliding groove 410, and the connecting rod 600 is provided with a first connecting part 610. The first connecting part 610 is connected to the driving component 500, and the first connecting part 610 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 410.
[0063] For example, the drive unit 500 can be a linear drive motor. The output shaft of the motor is provided with a through groove. The first connecting part 610 is inserted into the through groove. When the motor is driven linearly, the connecting rod 600 can be rotated through the first connecting part 610. At the same time, the first slide 410 can guide and limit the first connecting part 610, so as to avoid the ice selection door 300 from being over-opened or closed, and improve the accuracy and stability of the position control of the ice selection door 300.
[0064] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 400 is provided with a second slide groove 420, and the connecting rod 600 is provided with a second connecting part 620. The second connecting part 620 is connected to the ice selection door 300, and the second connecting part 620 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 420.
[0065] For example, one end of the ice selection gate 300 is provided with a through hole, and the second connecting part 620 is inserted into the through hole to realize the transmission connection with the ice selection gate 300. When the connecting rod 600 rotates, it drives the ice selection gate 300 to rotate through the second connecting part 620. At the same time, the second connecting part 620 is guided and limited by the second slide groove 420 to improve the stability of the ice selection gate 300 during rotation.
[0066] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the ice dispensing device includes a torsion spring 700, one end of which is connected to a connecting rod 600, and the other end is connected to an ice crushing box 100.
[0067] In this embodiment, when dispensing crushed ice, the drive unit 500, when energized, drives the connecting rod 600 to rotate, causing the ice selection gate 300 to rotate and close the first area 121. After the drive unit 500 is de-energized, the restoring force of the torsion spring 700 acts back on the connecting rod 600, causing the connecting rod 600 to return to its initial position. The reset action of the connecting rod 600 will drive the ice selection gate 300 to rotate, thereby opening the first area 121, achieving automatic reset. The reset process does not require the drive unit 500 to drive it, saving energy.
[0068] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the ice-crushing assembly 200 includes a fixed ice blade 210 and a movable ice blade 220. The fixed ice blade 210 is fixed inside the ice-crushing chamber 110 and is positioned corresponding to the second region 122. The movable ice blade 220 is rotatably mounted in the ice-crushing chamber 110. The combination of the fixed ice blade 210 and the movable ice blade 220 can efficiently cut whole ice into ice fragments, meeting different user needs.
[0069] Understandably, the fixed ice blade 210 is a blade fixed inside the ice-crushing chamber 110, and its position is fixed, not moving with the movement of the moving ice blade 220. The position of the fixed ice blade 210 corresponds to the second area 122 of the ice outlet 120, that is, the area where ice fragments are discharged. The function of the fixed ice blade 210 is to provide a fixed cutting surface, which is used in conjunction with the moving ice blade 220 to break up the ice.
[0070] The design of the movable blade 220 allows it to work in conjunction with the fixed blade 210 to cut and break up ice when it rotates. As the movable blade 220 rotates, it pushes the ice block toward the fixed blade 210, and the ice block is cut into fragments between the two blades.
[0071] When the user selects the ice-crushing mode, the moving blade 220 begins to rotate. Ice is fed into the ice-crushing chamber 110, between the moving blade 220 and the stationary blade 210. The rotational force of the moving blade 220 pushes the ice towards the stationary blade 210, where it is cut into small pieces. The ice fragments are discharged through the second area 122 of the ice outlet 120, while the ice selection gate 300 closes the first area 121, preventing whole ice pieces from being discharged directly.
[0072] Optionally, there can be multiple fixed ice blades 210, which are spaced apart along the height of the ice crushing chamber 110. Multiple fixed ice blades 210 can act on the ice simultaneously, significantly improving the speed and efficiency of ice crushing. The distance between adjacent fixed ice blades 210 can be equal to ensure uniform ice size, or it can be unequal; this embodiment does not specifically limit this. Similarly, there can also be multiple moving ice blades 220, which can be spaced apart along the height of the ice crushing chamber 110. Multiple spaced moving ice blades 220 can also be arranged circumferentially to improve ice crushing efficiency.
[0073] For example, the pivot of the ice selector 300 and the pivot of the fixed blade 210 can be on the same straight line, thereby simplifying the structural complexity of the ice-ejecting device.
[0074] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a limiting member 130 is provided at the boundary between the first region 121 and the second region 122. In the second ice discharge mode (ice crushing mode), the ice selection gate 300 abuts against the limiting member 130.
[0075] In this embodiment, the limiting member 130 is located at the boundary between the first region 121 and the second region 122, and is used to limit the position of the ice selection door 300 in the second ice dispensing mode. When the ice selection door 300 is in the second ice dispensing mode, the driving member 500 drives the ice selection door 300 to rotate and abut against the limiting member 130, so as to just close the first region 121 while avoiding the ice selection door 300 from being over-closed, thereby achieving precise positioning of the ice selection door 300 in the second ice dispensing mode.
[0076] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of the ice crushing chamber 110 is provided with an ice inlet 140, which is positioned directly opposite the first area 121.
[0077] For example, the ice inlet 140 can be connected to the outlet of the ice maker or the ice storage box, and ice cubes can enter the crushing chamber 110 through the ice inlet 140. In the whole ice dispensing mode, the ice selection door 300 remains open, so that ice cubes can fall directly from the ice inlet 140 into the first area 121 and fall out from the first area 121 of the ice outlet 120, thus realizing the function of dispensing whole ice.
[0078] It should be noted that the second zone 122 can also be open when dispensing whole ice, meaning the second zone 122 can remain open. The ice inlet 140 is positioned directly opposite the first zone 121, ensuring that whole ice will not fall out of the second zone 122 when dispensing.
[0079] In the ice-breaking mode, the ice selection gate 300 closes the first area 121. After the ice block enters from the ice inlet 140, it falls onto the ice selection gate 300. Then, the moving ice blade 220 rotates and pushes the ice block to contact the fixed ice blade 210 in the second area 122 to break the ice. The broken ice can fall from the second area 122, thus achieving the ice-breaking process.
[0080] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the ice crushing chamber 110 is equipped with a stop 150, the main function of which is to guide the ice crushing material to fall accurately from the second area 122, rather than to disperse to other areas of the ice crushing chamber 110 with the movement of the fixed ice blade 210, thereby preventing unnecessary accumulation of ice crushing material in the ice crushing chamber 110 and keeping the ice crushing chamber 110 clean and the ice discharge smooth.
[0081] The stop 150 is located on the side of the second region 122 away from the first region 121, that is, the stop 150 is located after the cutting path of the moving blade 220 and the stationary blade 210. This positioning design ensures that after the ice is cut by the moving blade 220 and the stationary blade 210, the ice fragments can fall directly into the second region 122, and will not be carried to other places due to the movement of the blades.
[0082] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple stop members 150, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the ice crushing chamber 110. By spaced the stop members 150, they can be prevented from intersecting with the movement trajectory of the moving ice blade 220, thereby preventing possible mechanical interference and improving the reliability of the equipment.
[0083] The ice dispensing device provided in this application includes an ice crushing box 100, an ice crushing component 200, and an ice selection door 300. The ice crushing box 100 forms an ice crushing chamber 110 and an ice outlet 120 located at the bottom of the ice crushing chamber 110. The ice outlet 120 includes a first region 121 and a second region 122. The ice crushing component 200 is disposed in the ice crushing chamber 110 and is used for crushing ice. The ice selection door 300 is movably disposed in the ice outlet 120 and is used to open or close the first region 121. The ice dispensing device is adapted to switch between a first ice dispensing mode and a second ice dispensing mode. In the first ice dispensing mode, the ice crushing component 200 is closed and the ice selection door 300 is open in the first region 121. In the second ice dispensing mode, the ice crushing component 200 is open and the ice selection door 300 is closed in the first region 121. The first zone 121 can be opened or closed by setting the ice selection gate 300. In the first ice discharge mode (discharging whole ice), the ice crushing component 200 is closed and does not perform ice crushing operation. At the same time, the ice selection gate 300 opens the first zone 121, allowing whole ice to be discharged directly from the ice outlet 120 in the first zone 121. In the second de-icing mode (discharging crushed ice), the ice crushing component 200 is turned on to crush ice, and the ice selection gate 300 partially closes the ice outlet 120 (closing the first zone 121), preventing whole ice from being discharged directly. The crushed ice can be discharged from the second zone 122, realizing the switching between discharging whole ice and discharging crushed ice.
[0084] Secondly, this application also provides a refrigeration device, which includes an ice-discharging device as described in the above embodiments.
[0085] It is understood that the refrigeration equipment in this embodiment may include, but is not limited to, refrigerators, freezers, ice makers, and other refrigeration equipment.
[0086] Taking a refrigerator as an example, in order to save the utilization rate of the refrigeration space, the ice-making system and the ice storage system can be placed at the bottom of the refrigeration space. At the same time, in order to compress the space of the ice storage system, the ice storage box is placed at the bottom. When the ice cubes in the ice storage box are pushed out, they need to be lifted a certain distance to enter the ice crushing chamber 110, and the switch between whole ice and crushed ice can be achieved by adjusting the position of the ice selection door 300.
[0087] It is understood that since the ice-discharging device has the beneficial effects of the above embodiments, the refrigeration equipment will have the corresponding beneficial effects of the above embodiments. The specific implementation method can be referred to the above embodiments, and this embodiment will not repeat the details.
