Detailed Description

Referring collectively to fig. 1 and 2, in accordance with an embodiment of the present application, an ice cube-making assembly includes:

the ice crusher comprises a channel 2, a first rotating shaft 12 and a second rotating shaft 13, wherein the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13 are arranged side by side and rotate relatively to form a rotating shaft group 1; the rotating shaft group 1 is arranged in the channel 2; the outer peripheral surfaces of the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13 are both provided with cutters, and at least one of the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13 is a crankshaft or a cam 5 shaft; when the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13 rotate relatively, the cutting blades on the two shafts shear the ice entering the channel 2.

The cutter is arranged on the periphery of each rotating shaft of the rotating shaft group 1 which rotates relatively, and at least one rotating shaft is a crankshaft or a cam 5 shaft, so that when the rotating shaft group 1 rotates relatively, firstly, the ice cubes can be sheared and crushed, secondly, the distance between the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13 is changed, and the ice cubes are squeezed to generate secondary ice crushing; the ice crushing process is high in efficiency and low in energy consumption.

In some embodiments, the ice making block assembly further comprises an ice maker 3, the ice maker 3 is arranged above the ice crusher, and an outlet of the ice maker 3 is communicated with the inlet 21 of the channel 2.

An ice maker 3 is arranged above the ice crusher, the prepared ice blocks are directly chopped, a transmission structure is not required to be additionally arranged, and the prepared ice blocks automatically fall down to enter a channel 2 of the ice crusher.

In some embodiments, the channel 2 comprises an inclined section, and the inlet 21 side of the channel 2 is communicated with the high end of the inclined section.

In order to facilitate the movement of the ice blocks made after the cutting, the inclined section channel 2 is adopted, and the ice blocks automatically move downwards under the action of gravity, thereby further reducing the energy consumption.

In some embodiments, the bottom of the inclined section comprises a vibrating screen 4, the aperture of said vibrating screen 4 being smaller than a preset value.

The vibrating screen 4 is arranged at the bottom of the inclined section, so that the moving of ice blocks can be accelerated, and ice residues generated in the ice crushing process can be discharged.

In some embodiments, the axial direction of the rotating shaft group 1 is set to be inclined, and is erected in the inclined section; the axial direction is the same as the extending direction of the inclined section.

The inclined rotating shaft group 1 is adopted to form inclined shearing, so that the efficiency is high; the ice cubes are convenient to move.

In some embodiments, the bottom of the outlet end of the channel 2 is provided with at least a first outlet 22 and a second outlet 221, and the distance between the first outlet 22 and the inlet 21 of the channel 2 is smaller than the distance between the second outlet 221 and the inlet 21 of the channel 2; the aperture of the first outlet 22 is smaller than the aperture of the second outlet 221.

A plurality of outlets with different apertures are arranged at the bottom of the outlet end of the channel 2, so that ice cubes with different sizes can be selectively obtained.

In some embodiments, the vibrating screen 4 is provided between the first outlet 22 and the inlet 21 of said channel 2; the aperture of the first outlet 22 is greater than the predetermined value.

Since a smaller volume of crushed ice is generated when the ice cubes are crushed, the crushed ice is preferentially discharged through the vibrating screen 4 to prevent the crushed ice from being discharged through the outlet of the passage 2, and the remaining ice cubes are sequentially discharged through the first outlet 22 and the second outlet 221.

In some embodiments, the edge of the cutter is provided with a saw tooth structure.

For conveniently cutting up the ice-cubes, the outer edge of the cutting blade is designed to be of a sawtooth structure, so that the cutting is convenient, and the efficiency is high.

In some embodiments, the rotating shaft set 1 further includes a driving mechanism for driving the rotating shaft set 1 to rotate relatively.

The driving mechanism, such as the motor 11 shown in fig. 1, is adopted to drive the helical blade, and the controllability is good.

As can be seen from the structure of fig. 1, the ice making block assembly mainly comprises an ice maker 3 and an ice crusher, wherein the ice maker 3 at least comprises an ice making tray for making ice, an ice bucket and other components, and the ice bucket is used for storing ice cubes; the ice maker 3 is directly arranged above the ice crusher, and ice blocks can slide into the ice crusher under the action of self gravity; the ice crusher mainly comprises a driving motor 11 and a rotating shaft group 1.

The rotating shaft group 1 comprises a first rotating shaft 12 and a second rotating shaft 13 which rotate relatively, the first rotating shaft 12 is a common cylindrical rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft 13 is a cam 5 rotating shaft or a crankshaft, the surfaces of the two rotating shafts are provided with cutting edges which are uniformly distributed, the cutting edges on the two rotating shafts are equal in number and distributed in a staggered manner, and therefore a shearing effect is formed during the relative rotation; the box both ends are run through to both ends about two pivots, and the left end of two pivots is connected through the gear pair, and at first motor 11 drive first pivot 12 rotates, thereby realizes the relative rotation of first pivot 12 and second pivot 13 through the gear pair of meshing, and the ice-cube can be broken for the first time under the effect of cutting edge, later at cam 5 extrusion secondary crushing down.

The outlet of the ice maker 3 is in butt joint with the ice crusher, and ice blocks with larger volume can directly enter the ice crusher after leaving the outlet of the ice maker 3, so that an ice block conveying mechanism in the traditional ice maker 3 is reduced; the channel 2 in the ice crusher is obliquely arranged, so that ice cubes can be crushed and moved under gravity conveniently, and energy consumption is saved. Different outlet discharges can be selected depending on the needs of the ice crushing device, such as how large crushed ice the ice crusher can crush into.

The ice making block assembly is arranged in the refrigerator, and if the ice making block assembly is arranged in the refrigerator door, ice blocks can be conveniently obtained, and the comfort of modern family life is improved.
