In the embodiment of this application, move ice mechanism specifically can include move ice gear 4 and with move the ice connecting rod 8 that ice piece 9 is connected, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, one side of moving ice connecting rod 8 sets up moves ice tooth's socket 81, move ice tooth's socket 81 with move the meshing of ice gear 4, actuating mechanism 1 is used for the drive to move ice gear 4 and rotates, when moving ice gear 4 and rotate, drives and moves ice connecting rod 8 and remove to it removes to drive to move ice piece 9.
It should be noted that the driving mechanism 1 may be a driving motor, an output gear is arranged on an output shaft of the driving motor, the output gear may directly engage with the ice moving gear 4 to drive the ice moving gear 4 to rotate, or the output gear drives the ice moving gear 4 to rotate through at least one transmission gear; of course, the ice moving gear 4 may be coaxially disposed on the output shaft of the driving motor, and when the output shaft rotates, the ice moving gear 4 rotates synchronously.
In the embodiment of the application, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the ice moving piece 9 is obliquely and downwardly arranged towards the opening and closing side of the ice door 10 of the ice bank 11 (i.e. the side far away from the ice bank 11 and connected with the ice door 10), so that the ice pieces can smoothly slide into the ice bank 11 for storage when being transferred to the opening of the ice bank 11, and the ice moving link 8 is preferably connected to one side of the ice moving piece 9 in the length direction in a vertical connection manner; the upper side or the lower side of the ice moving connecting rod 8 is provided with the ice moving tooth grooves 81, and particularly, the ice moving tooth grooves are arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the ice moving connecting rod 8 and are determined according to the rotating direction of the ice moving gear 4, and it can be determined that the ice moving connecting rod 8 can move towards the ice storage box 11 when the ice door 10 rotates towards the opening direction, and the meshed side of the ice moving connecting rod 8 and the ice moving gear 4 is determined.
In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the driving mechanism 1 may specifically include a connecting shaft 13 and a door opening gear 5 coaxially disposed on the connecting shaft 13, and the driving mechanism 1 is further configured to drive the door opening gear 5 to rotate.
It should be noted here that the output gear is disposed on the output shaft of the driving mechanism 1, such as a driving motor, and may be directly engaged with the door opening gear 5 to drive the door opening gear 5 to rotate, or the output gear drives the door opening gear 5 to rotate through at least one transmission gear; of course, the door opening gear 5 may be coaxially disposed on the output shaft of the driving motor, and when the output shaft rotates, the door opening gear 5 rotates synchronously.

Of course, the ice bank 11 can be opened and closed in a translational manner without being limited to rotational opening and closing, for example, the lower side of the ice door is provided with a rack, the rack is engaged with the door opening gear 5, and when the door opening gear 5 rotates, the ice door 10 is opened and closed in a translational manner under the driving of the rack. The present embodiment will be described by taking the ice bank 11 as an example to be rotated to open and close.
In one embodiment, the door opening gear 5 is directly meshed with the ice moving gear 4, for example, an output gear is arranged on an output shaft of the driving motor, the output gear is only meshed with one of the ice moving gear 4 and the door opening gear 5, and one of the ice moving gear 4 and the door opening gear 5 rotates to drive the other meshed gear to rotate; or one of the ice moving gear 4 and the door opening gear 5 is coaxially arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor, and in the same way, one of the ice moving gear 4 and the door opening gear 5 rotates to drive the other meshed gear to rotate.
Specifically, the ice moving gear 4 can be driven to rotate in the reverse direction towards the rotation direction of the door opening gear 5 by the rotation of the door opening gear 5, and of course, the ice moving gear 4 can also be driven to rotate in the reverse direction towards the rotation direction of the ice moving gear 4 by the rotation of the door opening gear 5; for example, when the connecting shaft 13 rotates the ice door 10 clockwise to rotate in the opening direction, the door opening gear 5 and the connecting shaft 13 synchronously rotate clockwise, and at the same time, the ice moving gear 4 meshed with the door opening gear 5 rotates counterclockwise; similarly, when the ice moving gear 4 rotates anticlockwise, the door opening gear 5 rotates clockwise; at this time, the ice shifting spline 81 needs to be disposed on the upper side of the ice shifting link 8, so that the ice shifting link 8 is engaged with the inclined lower side of the ice shifting gear 4, and the ice shifting link 8 can be driven to move obliquely upward by the counterclockwise rotation of the ice shifting gear 4 to move toward the ice bank 11 for ice shifting. When the ice bank 11 needs to be closed, the door opening gear 5 rotates towards the counterclockwise direction or the ice moving gear 4 rotates towards the clockwise direction, and meanwhile, the ice moving connecting rod 8 can be driven to move towards the oblique lower direction to reset.

For example, when the connecting shaft 13 rotates the ice door 10 clockwise to open, the door opening gear 5 and the connecting shaft 13 rotate clockwise synchronously, at this time, the transmission rack 3 drives the ice moving gear 4 to rotate in the same direction as the door opening gear 5, that is, clockwise, and at this time, the ice moving tooth groove 81 needs to be arranged at the lower side of the ice moving connecting rod 8, so that the ice moving connecting rod 8 is engaged with the obliquely upper side of the ice moving gear 4, and thus the ice moving connecting rod 8 can be driven to move obliquely upward to move toward the ice storage box 11 to move ice when the ice moving gear 4 rotates clockwise. When the ice storage box 11 needs to be closed, the door opening gear 5 rotates towards the anticlockwise direction, and at the moment, the ice moving gear 4 synchronously rotates anticlockwise, so that the ice moving connecting rod 8 can be driven to move towards the oblique lower side to reset.
