Referring to fig. 1 to 7, a refrigerator having an ice storage function is provided according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which takes and puts articles to be refrigerated or frozen through an ice bank 30 and continuously transfers cold to an ice storage compartment 10.

As shown in fig. 1, a refrigerator having an ice storage function includes an ice storage compartment 10 and a door body 80 for opening and closing the ice storage compartment 10. In this embodiment, the door 80 is pivotally connected to the main structure 20 of the refrigerator.

Specifically, the refrigerator further includes an ice bank 30 rotatably provided in the ice bank compartment 10. In this embodiment, the ice bank 30 is rotatably disposed in the ice storage compartment 10, so that the taking of the articles is more convenient and labor-saving than the drawer-type ice bank.

Wherein, a picking and placing opening 39 is formed at the top of the ice bank 30. In this embodiment, the ice bank 30 has a dish-shaped structure, and a picking and placing opening 39 is formed at the top thereof, so that articles can be stored. When the refrigerator has an ice making function, an ice maker may be disposed in the ice storage compartment 10 immediately above the ice bank 30, so that the ice maker directly pours ice cubes into the ice bank 30 after ice making is completed, and a user may spin the ice bank 30 to take as needed.

As shown in fig. 2, the door 80 is further provided with an ice bank contact block 90 protruding toward the ice bank compartment 10 and contacting the underside of the ice bank 30. In the present embodiment, the ice bank abutment block 90 can protrude from the ice storage compartment 10 with the door 80 opened, and protrude into the ice storage compartment 10 with the door 80 closed.

After the door 80 is opened, the ice bank 30 is separated from the ice bank contact block 90 and rotated in the outside direction of the ice bank 10, so that the access opening 39 of the ice bank 30 is at least partially exposed in the outside direction of the ice bank 10. In the present embodiment, the rotation of the ice bank 30 in the outside direction of the ice bank 10 means that: the taking and putting port 39 of the ice bank 30 is originally upwardly directed, and the taking and putting port 39 is gradually inclined forward after being rotated and is gradually exposed toward the outside of the ice bank 10.

It can be seen that, through setting up the ice box butt piece 90 that stretches and butt in ice box 30 downside towards ice storage compartment 10 in on door body 80, along with opening of door body 80, ice box 30 breaks away from the butt with ice box butt piece 90, and the mouth 39 of getting of ice box 30 exposes to ice storage compartment 10 outside direction along with the rotation of self to the user of being convenient for gets ice, promotes user experience.

Further, the refrigerator further includes a rotation assembly 60 disposed in the ice storage compartment 10 and drivingly connected to the ice bank 30 such that a side of the ice bank 30 remote from the ice storage compartment 10 rotates downward of the ice bank abutment block 90 about a rotation axis of the rotation assembly 60.

In the present embodiment, the rotation assembly 60 is provided to enable the ice bank 30 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotation assembly 60 within the ice bank compartment 10.

Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the ice bank 30 has a lower bottom wall 37, and the rotating assembly 60 is disposed at the rear side of the vertical center line connecting the front and rear ends of the bottom wall 37.

In this embodiment, the rotating assembly 60 is disposed at the rear side of the vertical center line connecting the front and rear ends of the bottom wall 37 of the case, that is, the rotation axis around which the ice bank 30 is disposed is located at the rear side of the vertical center line connecting the front and rear ends of the bottom wall 37 of the case. Thus, when the ice bank 30 rotates by the same angle, the movable range of the front end is larger than that of the rear end, so that the rear end of the ice bank 30 can be ensured not to interfere with the inner wall of the ice storage compartment 10, and convenience in taking articles from the front end of the ice bank 30 can be ensured.

Further, the ice bank 30 further has a bank sidewall 35 disposed laterally with respect to the bank bottom wall 37, the ice bank compartment 10 has a compartment sidewall 23 disposed laterally opposite to each other, and the rotation assembly 60 is disposed between the bank sidewall 35 and the compartment sidewall 23.

In this embodiment, the rotating member 60 is a rotating shaft 61 provided between the chamber side wall 23 and the box side wall 35. The rotation shaft 61 is fixed to the case side wall 35 of the ice bank 30 and then coupled to the compartment side wall 23 using a bearing or other rotation member, thereby realizing the rotatable disposition of the ice bank 30 in the ice storage compartment 10.

The rotation assembly 60 adopts the rotation shaft 61 with a simple structure, and can save the installation space between the compartment sidewall 23 and the box sidewall 35, thereby saving the use space of the ice storage compartment 10.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the refrigerator further includes a limiting boss 70 disposed in the ice storage compartment 10, and the ice bank 30 is separated from the ice bank abutment block 90 and abuts against the limiting boss 70 after the door 80 is opened.

In this embodiment, when the ice bank 30 is separated from the ice bank contact block 90, the ice bank continues to rotate in the outside direction of the ice bank compartment 10 and finally contacts the limit boss 70. The limiting boss 70 can prevent the ice bank 30 from rotating excessively, so that the taking and placing opening 39 is downward, and articles or ice cubes in the ice bank 30 cannot fall out.

Referring to fig. 7, in detail, the top end of the limit boss 70 has a lower vertical height than the top end of the ice bank abutment block 90, and is located at the front side of the rotation assembly 60.

In this embodiment, the vertical height of the top end of the limiting boss 70 is lower than the vertical height of the top end of the ice box abutting block 90, so that when the ice box 30 rotates in the direction of the outer side of the ice storage compartment 10, the ice box abutting block 90 contacts first, and the ice box can contact the limiting boss 70 after continuing to rotate. And, the limit boss 70 is located at the front side of the rotating assembly 60, and the vertical height of the limit boss 70 is lower than that of the rotating assembly 60, so that when the ice bank 30 abuts against the limit boss 70, the bank bottom wall 37 is in a front low and rear high state, and the ice bank 30 is prevented from rotating backward.

Further, the ice box abutment block 90 drives the ice box 30 to rotate in the direction of the inner side of the ice storage compartment 10 away from the limit boss 70 when the door 80 is closed, and is supported below the ice box 30 after the door 80 is closed. In this embodiment, when the ice bank 30 stores articles and is in a non-empty state, the ice bank 30 can be restored to an initial storage state along with the closing of the door 80, without manually rotating the ice bank 30, and further improving user experience.

Specifically, the ice bank abutting block 90 has a first abutting wall 91 at the top thereof, and a second abutting wall 93 adjacent to the first abutting wall 91, the second abutting wall 93 is disposed obliquely backward and downward from the rear end of the first abutting surface 91, and the ice bank 30 abuts against the second abutting wall 93 when the door 80 is closed and abuts against the first abutting wall 91 after the door 80 is closed, so as to keep the taking and placing port 39 of the ice bank 30 arranged along the horizontal plane.

In this embodiment, during the process of closing the door 80, the ice bank 30 is first abutted against the second abutment wall 93, and the ice bank 30 is driven by the second abutment wall 93 to slowly rise and rotate around the rotating assembly 60. Finally, when the door 80 is completely closed, the ice bank 30 abuts on the first abutment wall 91, and the taking and placing port 39 of the ice bank 30 is disposed along the horizontal plane.

Moreover, since the taking and placing port 39 of the ice bank 30 is formed at the top thereof, when the ice bank 30 is in the storage state, in order to ensure that the ice bank 30 stores more articles, it is required that the plane in which the taking and placing port 39 is located is horizontally arranged, that is, that the taking and placing port 39 is arranged toward the upper side.

In addition, when the ice maker is disposed immediately above the ice bank 30, the plane of the taking and putting port 39 of the ice bank 30 is maintained horizontal, and ice cubes falling from the ice maker can be better stored.

Further, the ice bank 30 further has a front wall 31 and a rear wall 33 disposed front and rear with respect to the bottom wall 37 of the bank, and the front wall 31 has a lower upper and lower width than the rear wall 33.

In this embodiment, in a state that the plane of the pick-and-place port 39 is horizontal, the ice bank 30 has a front portion 30a located at the front side of the rotating assembly 60 and a rear portion 30b located at the rear side of the rotating assembly 60, and the up-and-down width of the rear wall 33 of the bank is greater than that of the front wall 31 of the bank, on the one hand, the front portion 30a is lighter in weight than the rear portion 30b, and the rotating assembly 60 can be moved backward for balance. This increases the range of motion of the front portion 30a, facilitating the user's access to the contents of the ice bank 30. On the other hand, by reducing the vertical width of the front wall 31, the interference of the front wall 31 with the article can be reduced.

In addition, an included angle greater than 90 degrees is formed between the box front wall 31 and the box bottom wall 37, so that the interference at the box front wall 31 is small after the ice storage box 30 rotates forwards, and a user can conveniently take and put objects from the box front wall 31.

Further, the rotation shaft 61 is located at the junction of the cartridge bottom wall 37 and the cartridge rear wall 33. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 61 is disposed at the connection position between the bottom wall 37 and the rear wall 33 of the case, so that the ice bank 30 can be ensured to obtain a larger rotating range, and the inclination angle of the picking and placing opening 39 is larger, so that the user can pick and place objects conveniently.

In addition, since the upper and lower width of the rear wall 33 of the case is greater than that of the front wall 31 of the case, when the plane of the taking and placing port 39 of the ice bank 30 is in a horizontal state, the articles in the ice bank 30 are easily piled up at the junction of the bottom wall 37 of the case and the rear wall 33 of the case, and the rotation shaft 61 is provided at the junction to better support the ice bank 30, thereby avoiding a large deflection of the ice bank 30 when taking and placing the articles.

With reference to fig. 1 to 6, the present invention also provides a preferred further embodiment, in which a rotation space 40 for the ice bank 30 to rotate backward is formed between the back wall 33 of the ice bank 30 and the back wall 21 of the compartment, and when the ice bank 30 is completely filled with the articles, the weight 51 on the ice bank 30 drives the ice bank 30 to rotate backward, and the ice bank 30 is automatically reset to the initial storage state, so as to complete the automatic reset, and improve the user experience.

Specifically, the ice bank 30 is provided with a weight 51, and the weight 51 is located at the rear side of the rotating assembly 60 when the door 80 is closed. In the present embodiment, when the door 80 is closed, since the weight 51 is provided on the ice bank 30 and at the rear side of the rotating assembly 60, a force to rotate the ice bank 30 backward is applied, thereby reducing a force of the ice bank 30 abutting against the ice bank abutting block 90. In addition, when the ice bank 30 is empty, the balancing weight 51 can drive the ice bank 30 to keep the plane of the taking and placing opening 39 of the ice bank 30 horizontally, so that the ice bank 30 can store articles or receive ice conveniently.

Wherein, when the ice bank 30 is empty, the balancing weight 51 drives the ice bank 30 to rotate around the rotation axis of the rotation assembly 60, and then the plane of the taking and placing opening 39 is kept to be horizontally arranged. When the user finishes taking the articles of the ice bank 30, the ice bank 30 can automatically rotate backwards around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 60 under the action of the balancing weight 51, so that the plane where the taking and placing port 39 is located is horizontally arranged, and the ice bank 30 is automatically reset.

Wherein, balancing weight 51 drives ice bank 30 to rotate backward when empty state, simple structure reduces manufacturing cost. In addition, the weight 51 may be integrally formed with the ice bank 30. Of course, the balancing weight 51 may be detachably fixed to the ice bank 30 to meet various use requirements.

Further, in a state that the plane of the taking and placing port 39 is horizontal, the ice bank 30 has a front portion 30a located at the front side of the rotating assembly 60 and a rear portion 30b located at the rear side of the rotating assembly 60, and the weight 51 is disposed on the rear portion 30 b.

In this embodiment, the front portion 30a and the rear portion 30b are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the rotation assembly 60, when the ice bank 30 is in a vacant state or a small amount of articles are stored, the front portion 30a of the ice bank 30 is subjected to downward gravity, and the weight 51 is disposed on the rear portion 30b, thereby providing downward force to the rear portion 30b, and then counteracting the gravity applied to the front portion 30a, so as to balance the front portion 30a and the rear portion 30b with respect to the rotation assembly 60, and keep the plane of the pick-and-place port 39 horizontally arranged.

Moreover, since the upper-lower width of the cassette rear wall 33 is larger than that of the cassette front wall 31, on the one hand, the front side portion 30a is lighter in weight relative to the rear side portion 30b, and the rotating assembly 60 can be moved rearward for balance. This increases the range of motion of the front portion 30a, facilitating the user's access to the contents of the ice bank 30. On the other hand, by reducing the vertical width of the front wall 31, the interference of the front wall 31 with the article can be reduced.

Further, the weight 51 is provided on the box rear wall 33. In this embodiment, the weight 51 is provided on the case rear wall 33 so as to avoid interference with the rotation of the ice bank 30. Of course, the weight 51 may be disposed at other locations within the area of the rear portion 30 b. Alternatively, the rear wall 33 of the case is formed separately from a denser material so as not to affect the external appearance and the internal storage space of the entire ice bank 30.

After the door 80 is opened and the ice bank 30 is not empty, the ice bank 30 is rotated forward about the rotation axis of the rotation assembly 60 and abuts against the limit boss 70.

In this embodiment, when the ice bank 30 continuously receives the articles or ice cubes therein, the ice bank 30 is rotated backward first, and finally the ice bank 30 can be abutted against the compartment rear wall 21 by the bank rear wall 33. When the door 80 is opened to further increase the contents of the ice bank 30 and the ice cubes or when the contents of the rear portion 30b of the ice bank 30 roll down to the front portion 30a, the ice bank 30 is rotated forward at this time, and finally the ice bank 30 abuts against the limit boss 70 to prevent the ice bank 30 from being rotated further forward. Thereby preventing the ice bank 30 from rotating excessively when the user operates by mistake.

Specifically, the limiting boss 70 is located at the front side of the rotating assembly 60, and is supported below the ice bank 30 when the ice bank 30 is not empty. In this embodiment, after the door 80 is opened, the ice bank 30 can finally abut against the limiting boss 70 by the bank bottom wall 37 after being rotated forward. Of course, the limit boss 70 may also be provided at the rear side of the rotating assembly 60, so that the limit boss 70 finally abuts against the upper end of the cartridge side wall 35.

In a specific operation, when the door 80 is in a fully closed state, and no article or ice is in the ice bank 30, i.e. when the ice bank 30 is empty, the balancing weight 51 drives the plane of the taking and placing port 39 of the ice bank 30 to be arranged along the horizontal plane, so that articles or ice can be conveniently stored, and at the moment, although the ice bank 30 is in contact with the ice bank abutting block 90, no mutual acting force is generated; as the contents or ice cubes of the ice bank 30 increase, i.e., the ice bank 30 is in a non-empty state, the ice bank 30 generates a pressing force against the ice bank abutment block 90.

When the door body 80 is opened and the ice bank 30 is in a non-empty state, the ice bank 30 is separated from abutting with the ice bank abutting block 90 and further rotates forwards around the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 60, and finally, after the door body 80 is completely opened, the ice bank 30 abuts against the limiting boss 70; if the ice bank 30 is in the empty state, the ice bank 30 will always keep the plane of the taking and placing port 39 of the ice bank 30 arranged along the horizontal plane due to the arrangement of the balancing weights 51.

When the door body 80 is closed and the ice bank 30 is in a non-empty state, the ice bank abutting block 90 drives the ice bank 30 to be separated from the limiting boss 70, and finally, after the door body 80 is completely closed, the ice bank abuts against the ice bank abutting block 90; if the ice bank 30 is in the empty state, the ice bank 30 will always keep the plane of the taking and placing opening 39 of the ice bank 30 arranged along the horizontal plane due to the arrangement of the balancing weight 51, and the door 80 will not contact with the ice bank abutting block 90 during closing.

When the door body 80 is in a fully opened state and the ice bank 30 is in a vacant state, the plane of the taking and placing opening 39 of the ice bank 30 is arranged along the horizontal plane due to the arrangement of the balancing weights 51; when the ice bank 30 is in a non-empty state, the ice bank 30 abuts against the limit boss 70.

It should be understood that although the present disclosure describes embodiments, not every embodiment is provided with a separate embodiment, and that this description is for clarity only, and that the skilled artisan should recognize that the embodiments may be combined as appropriate to form other embodiments that will be understood by those skilled in the art.

The above list of detailed descriptions is only specific to practical embodiments of the present invention, and they are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all equivalent embodiments or modifications that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
