Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and structural or functional changes made by those skilled in the art according to these embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a first embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention is shown. An ice making assembly 10 is disposed in a refrigerator (not shown in the figures), the ice making assembly 10 includes an ice making box 11, an ice pushing rod 12 disposed above the ice making box 11, and a driving member 13 for driving the ice pushing rod 12 to rotate, wherein the ice pushing rod 12 is further provided with a plurality of ice pushing portions 121.
Referring to fig. 3, the ice making housing 11 includes a front wall 111, a rear wall 112, a left side wall 113, a right side wall 114, and a bottom wall 115 connecting the four walls, and preferably, the connecting portions of the left side wall 113, the right side wall 114, and the bottom wall 115 are all disposed in an arc shape inside the ice making housing 11. A water injection port is further provided on one of the side walls, in this embodiment, the water injection port 1141 is provided on the right side wall 114, but of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the water injection port 1141 may be provided with other suitable regions.
Further, a plurality of partitions 116 extend upwards from the bottom wall 115 inside the ice making box 11, the partitions 116 respectively define ice compartments 117 together with the front wall 111 and the rear wall 112 of the ice making box 11, and a plurality of ice compartments 117 are defined between two adjacent partitions 116, and preferably, a notch 1161 is further provided on each partition 116, the notch 1161 enabling the ice compartments 117 to communicate with each other so that water can flow to all the ice compartments 117 when the water filling port 1141 is filled with water.
Referring to fig. 4, an ice pushing rod 12 is rotatably disposed above the ice making housing 11, wherein one end of the ice pushing rod 12 is connected to the driving member 13, and the other end is inserted into the front wall 111 of the ice making housing 11, and in detail, the front wall 111 of the ice making housing 11 is provided with a mounting hole 1111, and one end of the ice pushing rod 12 is inserted into the mounting hole 1111, and preferably, the mounting hole 1111 has an inner diameter greater than an outer diameter of the ice pushing rod 12, so that the ice pushing rod 12 does not rotate the ice making housing 11 when rotating.
The ice pushing parts 121 are arranged in a fan shape and are adapted to the shape of the inside of the ice tray 117, the number of the ice pushing parts is the same as that of the ice tray 117, a gap 122 is formed between two adjacent ice pushing parts 121, and at least part of the partition 116 is located in the gap 122 when at least part of the ice pushing parts 117 are located inside the ice making housing 11.
The preparation assembly 10 of the present invention does not include an ice crushing member, but it performs preparation of whole ice or crushed ice depending on how much the ice pushing portion 121 enters the inside of the ice tray 117, and the driving member 13 drives the ice pushing lever 12 to rotate so that the preparation assembly 10 is switched between a whole ice making state and a crushed ice making state. Specifically, when the whole ice is prepared, the driving member 13 drives the ice pushing rod 12 to rotate until the ice pushing part 121 is completely separated from the ice tray 117 (fig. 2), at which time the ice pushing part 121 is outside the ice tray 117, and water is injected into all the ice trays 117 from the water injection port 1141, so that the whole ice is prepared; when the crushed ice is prepared, the driving member 13 drives the ice pushing rod 12 to rotate until the ice pushing part 121 enters the ice tray 117, and at this time, the degree of the ice pushing part 121 entering the ice tray 117 is determined by the size of the crushed ice to be prepared, if the crushed ice with larger shape is prepared, the ice pushing part 121 less enters the ice tray 117, and if the crushed ice with smaller shape is prepared, the ice pushing part 121 more enters the ice tray 117.
Further, heating elements (not shown in the drawings) are further provided inside the ice making box 11 and on the ice pushing part 121, respectively, and preferably, the heating elements are heating wires. After the ice making process is completed, the heating element starts to operate to separate the ice cubes from the ice pushing part 121 and the ice grid 117, and preferably, an aluminum film (not shown) is further disposed on the inner wall of the ice making box 11 and the partition 116, so that the heat generated by the heating element is uniformly and rapidly diffused, and the separation time of the ice cubes from the ice pushing part 121 and the ice grid 117 is shortened.
Referring to fig. 4-9, which are schematic views of a second embodiment of the ice making assembly of the present invention, for convenience of description, like parts in this embodiment to those in the first embodiment are given the same names and are distinguished by different numbers.
Unlike the first embodiment, the ice pushing portion in this embodiment is changed in structure, and in this embodiment, the ice pushing portion includes a first member 221 and a second member 222 arranged in mirror symmetry, and two opposing faces of the first member 221 and the second member 222 are at least partially parallel to each other.
Referring to fig. 8-9, since the first member 221 and the second member 222 are mirror-symmetrical, the first member 221 is taken as an example, the surface of the first member 221 opposite to the second member 222 includes a first surface 2211 and a second surface 2212, the first surface 2211 and the second surface 2212 are disposed at an angle, and the first surface 2211 is closer to the ice pushing rod 22 than the second surface 2212. The two opposing second faces 2212 and 2222 of the first member 221 and the second member 222 are parallel to each other.
When the ice pushing part is located at the first position, the ice pushing part is located in the ice tray 217, two second surfaces 2212 and 2222 of the first member 221 and the second member 222 which are opposite are respectively perpendicular to the bottom of the ice tray 217 (fig. 5), the two surfaces 2212 and 2222 and the bottom of the ice tray 217 jointly define a square accommodating space, and water is injected into the square accommodating space to form small ice cubes; when the ice pushing part is located at the second position, the ice pushing part is completely separated from the ice tray 217 (fig. 6).
The driving member 23 drives the ice pushing lever 22 to rotate so that the ice pushing part is switched between the first position and the second position. When the ice pushing part is positioned at the first position, the ice making assembly 20 is in a cube ice making state, and when ice is removed, the driving member 23 drives the ice pushing rod 22 to rotate, and the cube ice is separated from the ice pushing part under the action of centrifugal force; when the ice pushing part is located at the second position, the ice making assembly 10 is in a whole ice making state, and when ice is removed, the driving member 23 drives the ice pushing rod 22 to rotate, and the whole ice is separated from the ice tray 217 under the pushing of the ice pushing part.
Other components of the preparation assembly 20 in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.
It should be understood that although the present description refers to embodiments, not every embodiment contains only a single technical solution, and such description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art should make the description as a whole, and the technical solutions in the embodiments can also be combined appropriately to form other embodiments understood by those skilled in the art.
The above-listed detailed description is only a specific description of a possible embodiment of the present invention, and they are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and equivalent embodiments or modifications made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
