Figure 16 is the vertical cross-sectional of the refrigerating-chamber door of first embodiment.Figure 17 is the zoomed-in view that the B part of Figure 16 is shown.Figure 18 is that the ice maker rotation will be will ice the view of the state that separates with the ice maker of Figure 16.
With reference to Figure 16 to 18, under the state in Icemaker assembly 200 is arranged on icehouse 120, ice storehouse 300 is basic along vertically being arranged on ice maker 210 belows.
At length, the inlet 301a of the opening 310 in ice storehouse 300 is arranged on the position lower than the position of ice maker 210.So when icehouse door 130 was closed icehouse 120, ice storehouse 300 was not arranged among the first area A between icehouse door 130 and the ice maker 210.Just, ice storehouse 300 can be arranged in the whole zone of icehouse 120 in the second area the first area between icehouse door 130 and ice maker 210.
The reason of doing like this is, because ice maker 210 overturns by its rotary manipulation, so that ice cube I separates with ice maker 210 because of the deadweight of ice cube, thereby falls into ice storehouse 300, so ice storehouse 300 does not need ice storehouse 300 is arranged among the A of first area.Just, because the ice cube I that separates with ice maker 210 is without first area A, so the ice storehouse does not need to be arranged among the A of first area.
So, be not arranged among the A of first area owing to ice storehouse 300, so icehouse door 130 can be arranged to more close ice maker 210.As a result, can reduce the gross thickness of refrigerating-chamber door 11.Just, refrigerating-chamber door 11 can attenuation.
A plurality of rotating vanes 410 can each interval be arranged on the direction parallel with the bearing of trend of rotating shaft 420.A plurality of rotating vanes 410 can be arranged in the scope of front and back width W of ice maker 210.
So when separating with ice maker 210 when ice maker 210 rotations and with ice cube I, the part of a plurality of ice cubes that separate with ice maker 210 directly falls at least one rotating vane of a plurality of rotating vanes 410.Just, the ice cube I that separates with ice maker 210 falls by their deadweight, and the one or more ice cube I among the ice cube I of whereabouts direct contact to few rotating vane 410.
At this moment, the falling direction of the ice cube I that separates with ice maker 210 intersects with the bearing of trend of rotating shaft 420.On the other hand, the virtual surface of qualification is parallel during basic and a plurality of rotating vanes 410 rotations of the falling direction of the ice cube I that separates with ice maker 210.
The horizontal range of 210 rotating shaft 212 is greater than 510 the shortest horizontal range from icehouse door 130 to exhaust openings from icehouse door 130 to ice maker.
The multiple barrier material that differs from one another is arranged in the refrigerating-chamber door 11, so that refrigerating chamber is completely cut off with outside.Multiple barrier material comprises first barrier material 116 and second barrier material 117.First barrier material 116 comprises vacuum insulating plate (VIP), and second barrier material 117 comprises expanded polystyrene (EPS) or expandable polyurethane.
And, owing to first barrier material 116 is arranged between sunk surface 112a and the shell 111, so first barrier material 116 can be arranged at the front side in ice storehouse 300.
So, being arranged in the part of refrigerating-chamber door 11 wherein at icehouse 120, shell 111, adhesive 118, first barrier material 116, second barrier material 117 and door lining 112 sequentially are provided with.At this moment, first barrier material 116 and second barrier material 117 are arranged on the fore-and-aft direction, with a formation layer body, thereby prevent that heat from transmitting on the fore-and-aft direction of refrigerating-chamber door 11.
VIP can comprise the core material that formed by compressed fiberglass and around the strip of paper used for sealing material of core.At length, glass fibre is dispersed on the inorganic binder, then a plurality of glass fibre stack of plates of unusable paper manufacture method manufacturing and form core material.Subsequently, form the strip of paper used for sealing material of stacked structure with passivation layer, metal barrier and adhesive phase.Then, form by using the absorber of bag packaging CaO powder manufacturing.Then, absorber is attached to the top surface of core material, perhaps is inserted in the top surface of core material, to form the strip of paper used for sealing material as the cryptomere encapsulant.Subsequently, core material is inserted in the cryptomere encapsulant, and is sealed in vacuum state, to make this VIP.
In more detail, each all has a plurality of glass fibre stack of plates of the extremely about 10nm thickness of about 4nm and forms core material.Herein, glass mat is made by glass fibre is dispersed on the inorganic binder.Have about 0.1 μ m and can be used as glass fibre to the single fiber of about 10 μ m diameters.And the waterglass that is formed by water, silica powder and NaOH can be used as inorganic binder.
At this moment, by the unusable paper manufacture method, can make porosity and be about 80% or glass mat bigger, that have good isolated plate characteristic.When glass fibre has diameter less than about 0.1 μ m, because very small particle and may be difficult to form the plate structure.And when glass fibre had diameter greater than about 10 μ m, glass mat had the aperture that surpasses about 20 μ m, thus deterioration isolated characteristic.
The strip of paper used for sealing material comprises adhesive phase, is formed on the metal barrier on the top surface of adhesive phase, and passivation layer, and they sequentially pile up.
Herein, adhesive phase is the layer body that is heat fused to another layer body by heat-sealing, to keep vacuum state.So, adhesive phase can be formed by one or more thermoplastic films, and thermoplastic film is selected from the group that comprises high density polyethylene (HDPE) (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE) (LDPE), LLDPE (LLDPE), cast polypropylene (CPP), oriented polypropylene (OPP), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH).Adhesive phase can have the thickness of about 1 μ m to about 10 μ m, so that enough sealing characteristics to be provided.
Next, having about 6 μ m is formed on the adhesive phase as the barrier layer, to cut off gas and to protect core material to the metallic film of about 7 μ m thickness.At this moment, aluminium foil generally can be used as metal barrier.Because aluminium is metal material, so when metal material is folding, fracture phenomena may take place.So for fear of fracture phenomena, passivation layer can be arranged on the metal barrier.
Have about 10 μ m to polyphenyl dioctyl phthalate glycol ester (PET) film of about 14 μ m thickness with have about 20 μ m and pile up and form the passivation layer of strip of paper used for sealing material to the nylon membrane of about 30 μ m thickness.In the case because the PET/ nylon membrane may damage when the fracture phenomena of metal barrier is serious, so the vinylite layer can be coated on the PET, to prevent the damage of PET/ nylon membrane.
Absorber comprises the sack that contains CaO.Herein, use to have about 95% or more highly purified CaO powder, and sack comprises the nonwoven of crepe paper and PP dipping, to guarantee about 25% or bigger moisture absorption performance.At this moment, consider the gross thickness of isolated liner, absorber can have 2mm or littler thickness.
In above-mentioned VIP, owing to use core material with about 80% porosity and about 20 μ m or littler aperture, so isolation performance can maximize.So VIP can have and improves several times isolated effect than existing expanded polystyrene or expandable polyurethane.
For example, expandable polyurethane has about 0.03kcal/mhr ℃ thermal conductivity, and VIP has about 0.002kcal/mhr ℃ to about 0.006kcal/mhr ℃ thermal conductivity.
So phantom order VIP has predetermined thickness T1 when VIP and EPS keep the gross thickness that equals T1, then can significantly improve isolation performance.
In the present embodiment, icehouse 120 should be maintained at the temperature of about 0 degree, as refrigerating chamber 104.So when VIP was arranged on icehouse and is limited in wherein the refrigerating chamber door, icehouse can be isolated with the outside effectively, and the thickness of refrigerating chamber door can reduce.
Just and since icehouse 120 be limited to wherein sunk surface 112a and the thickness between the shell 111 reduce, so the thickness that icehouse is defined in part wherein in the refrigerating chamber door 11 can reduce.
Foaming can be limited to refrigerating chamber door 11 with the opening (not shown) that liquid injects wherein.After finishing foaming process, this opening can be covered by the vent cover (not shown).
And first barrier material 160 and second barrier material 162 that differ from one another can be arranged in the icehouse door 130, so that icehouse 120 is isolated with refrigerating chamber 102.First barrier material 160 can be VIP, and second barrier material 162 can be expanded polystyrene or expandable polyurethane.Because icehouse door 130 reduces because of VIP thickness, so can improve isolation performance.
When the inlet 152 of the opening of the ice opening 253 of exhaust openings 510, first support section 252 in the inlet 301a in ice storehouse 300 and ice storehouse 300, door lining 112, ice pipeline with export 154 when overlapping each other, form overlapping common region.So, the mobile route of ice cube is minimized.
Horizontal range D1 from the lip-deep line L1 that is limited to five equilibrium icehouse 120 to shell 111 is less than 111 the horizontal range D2 from sunk surface 171a to shell.Line L1 passes the inlet 152 and the outlet 154 of ice pipeline 150.And rotating shaft 420 passes the surface of five equilibrium icehouse 120.
From the door lining 112 of inlet 152 sides that are arranged at ice pipeline 150 to the horizontal range D3 of shell 111 less than horizontal range D4 from the door lining 112 of outlet 154 sides that are arranged at ice pipeline 150 to shell 111.
Do like this is to reduce because of VIP is arranged in the refrigerating-chamber door 11 owing to being used to limit the sunk surface 112a of icehouse 120 and the thickness (distance) between the shell 111.
Figure 19 is the ice slag is discharged state from the ice storehouse a front view, and Figure 20 is ice cube is discharged state from the ice storehouse a front view.
Drive source 220 operations are to separate ice cube with ice maker 210.The power of drive source 220 is transferred to ice maker 210 by gear-box 224, with integral body rotation ice maker 210.In the present embodiment, ice cube separates by the twist operation of ice maker 210.When the twist operation of ice maker 210 was carried out, an end and the other end of ice maker 210 reversed by their relative motion.So ice cube separates with ice maker 210.Because the principle of the twist operation of ice maker 210 is known, so will omit detailed description.

Squeeze broken ice slag in order to distribute, when row's ice member 400 is gone up when rotating at first direction (when observing in Figure 18 be counterclockwise), the crowded broken part 418 of a plurality of rotating vanes 410 is progressively near the crowded broken part 488 of fixed blade 480.
So the rotation of ice cube by rotating vane 410 that is arranged in the space 411 of a plurality of rotating vanes 410 is arranged on the fixed blade 480.In the present embodiment, the ice cube that is arranged in the space 411 can be the ice cube of directly falling on a plurality of rotating vanes 410, or the ice cube that slides along first oriented surface 321.
Under this state, when a plurality of rotating vanes 410 rotate continuously, squeeze to be clipped in the ice cube between the crowded broken part 488 of the crowded broken part 418 of rotating vane 410 and fixed blade 480 broken on first direction.Squeeze broken ice slag and on the direction of exhaust openings 510, fall, and be discharged to the outside.
In the process of discharging the ice slag, because opening/closing member 600 maintains closed condition, so this ice cube that can prevent to be arranged on the second oriented surface 322 is discharged.
In the process of discharging ice cube, when row ice member 400 in second direction (when observing in Figure 18 is clockwise direction) when going up rotation, the ice cube that is arranged in the space 411 of a plurality of rotating vanes 410 moves by the rotation of rotating vane 410 and on the direction of opening/closing member 600.
The ice cube that is arranged in the space 411 of a plurality of rotating vanes 410 can be the ice cube of directly falling on a plurality of rotating vanes 410, or the ice cube that slides along second oriented surface 322.
When a plurality of rotating vanes 410 rotated on second direction continuously, the extension 413 of each rotating vane 410 promoted to be arranged on the ice cube on the opening/closing member 600.As a result, the extruding force of rotating vane 410 is applied to opening/closing member 600 by ice cube.
So opening/closing member 600 is by extruding force (when observing in Figure 19 is counterclockwise) rotation downwards of ice cube and rotating vane 410.As a result, between the end of the end of the extension 413 of each rotating vane 410 and opening/closing member 600, define a space.Then, ice cube moves in this space, and final ice cube is discharged to the outside.
When the rotation of row ice member 400 stops, removing owing to be applied to the pressure of opening/closing member 600, so the elastic force of opening/closing member 600 by elastic component 640 turns back to its initial position.
Mobile be summarized as follows of ice cube in ice storehouse 300.When a plurality of rotating vanes 410 rotated, the ice cube of falling on a plurality of rotating vanes 410 moved down.
When a plurality of rotating vanes 410 when first party rotates up, the ice cube of falling on the first oriented surface 321 moves in the space 411 by their deadweight.When a plurality of rotating vanes 410 rotated, the ice cubes in the space 411 moved down.
And, when a plurality of rotating vanes 410 when second party rotates up, the ice cube of falling on the second oriented surface 322 moves in the space 411 by their deadweight.When a plurality of rotating vanes 410 rotated, the ice cubes in the space 411 moved down.
Basically, under the state that the operation of a plurality of rotating vanes 410 stops, the ice cube that is arranged on each oriented surface 321 and 322 does not move.
As a result, according to present embodiment, institute's store ice blocks can be discharged to the outside by the rotary manipulation of a plurality of rotating vanes 410, and does not need to ice the additional delivery unit in the storehouse 300.
And mutual the moving between ice cube, the ice cube in the ice storehouse 300 promptly moves to exhaust openings 510 from the inlet 301a that ices storehouse 300 only from moving by side to downside.
