DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of an ice storage device for a refrigerator according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The ice storage box may be installed in various places such as a refrigerator, a water purifier or an ice maker where ice is required. In this embodiment, the ice storage box is installed in a refrigerator for convenience of explanation.

1, the refrigerator 1 includes a storage room 5 and a door 2 rotatably installed in the refrigerator 1 to open and close the storage compartment 5.

An ice making chamber 20 is provided inside the door 2 and an ice maker 30 for ice making ice is provided in the ice making chamber 20 and ice for storing ice released from the ice maker 30 And a storage box 100 is provided on the lower side.

A motor 10 for driving an ice extraction member 200 (see FIG. 2) provided in the ice storage box 100 is provided at the rear of the ice storage box 100.

In addition, an ice-making chamber door 21 is provided at one side of the ice-making chamber 20 so that the ice-making chamber 20 can be selectively opened and closed.

The ice storage box and ice pick-up member according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

2 to 3, the ice storage box 100 includes a rear housing 120 and a front housing 130 coupled to each other.

The rear housing 120 has a receiving portion therein for storing ice, and a first inclined portion 112 is provided on both sides of the rear housing 120 toward the discharge opening 102.

The first inclined portion 112 is provided with a first guide slope portion 112a and a second guide slope portion 112b for guiding the released ice to the discharge port 102. [

That is, the first guide slope portion 112a is disposed on the right side of the front surface of the rear housing 120, and the second guide slope portion 112b is disposed on the left side.

The first inclined portion 112 is provided with a first guiding inclined portion 112a whose lower end is disposed adjacent to the opening and closing member 230 and has a lower end adjacent to the fixed blade portion 214, 112b.

The first and second guide slopes 112a and 112b are disposed on both sides in the width direction of the ice storage box 100 to guide ice.

The inclination end point of the second guide slope part 112b is disposed at a position relatively higher than the height of the rotation shaft 220. [

This is because the ice is scattered to the upper side of the second guide slope part 112b at the position where the fixed blade part 214 is located, thereby preventing the sliced ice from being caught in the rotating blade part 212. [

An ice rotation area 104 is provided on the upper side of the discharge port 104 to rotate the ice by the ice discharge member 200 before the ice is discharged to the discharge port 102.

The ice rotation area 104 is a space in which the ice extraction member 200 is installed and a space in which the ice is rotated by a rotation blade part 212 to be described later.

The rear housing 120 is coupled to the front housing 130.

The front housing 130 is disposed in front of the rear housing 120 and is provided with a second inclined portion 114 that is inclined downward toward the discharge port 102.

The second inclined portion 114 is disposed in the width direction of the ice storage box 100 and is divided and disposed along the inner circumferential surface of the front housing 130.

The second inclined portion 114 is provided with a front inclined portion 114a inclined from the front housing 130 toward the rear housing 120. [ Further, it further includes a side slope part 114b which is inclined from the side of the front housing 130 toward the ice extraction member 200.

The angle of inclination of the front slope part 114a and the side slope part 114b is not particularly limited, but is set to have an angle that does not disturb the movement when the ice is moved toward the discharge port 102.

The front slope part 114a provided in the rear housing 130 can take out the ice and store the ice in the internal space defined by the front slope part 114a, And at the same time a stable extraction can be achieved.

The ice extraction member 200 is disposed between the front housing 130 and the rear housing 120 and disposed in the ice rotation area 104 which is the upper portion of the ejection opening 102.

The ice extraction member 200 is installed to rotate forward or reverse. This is because, in order to selectively supply the user with the ice cubes and the ice cubes.

The ice discharge member 200 is disposed at one side of the discharge port 102 and is provided with a rotating blade part 212 composed of a plurality of blades for crushing the ice cubes.

And a fixed blade portion 214 disposed to face the rotating blade portion 212 and pressing and crushing the ice together with the rotating blade portion 212.

The fixed blade portion 214 is preferably composed of at least two or more numbers and is disposed so that the rotating blade portion 212 passes through the spaced space between the fixed blade portions 214.

Thus, when the rotating blade presses the ice by the rotating force in a state where the ice is sandwiched between the fixed blade 214 and the rotating blade 212, the ice is crushed to be crushed ice.

The rotating blade portion 212 will be described later in detail.

When the motor shaft rotates in the second rotation direction, the ice-making member 200 is discharged through the discharge port 102. When the motor-shaft rotates in the first rotation direction, the ice- Is discharged.

The rotating blade portion 212 having the rotating blade is inserted in the center of the rotating shaft 220.

The rotation shaft 220 is provided with a support plate and a connection plate, and between the support plate and the connection plate, a coil spring-like elastic member for elastically supporting the connection plate is provided.

A cover member 400 is separately attached to the outer side of the front housing 130. The cover member 400 is installed in consideration of a design aspect when the user opens the ice making chamber door 21.

A front housing of an ice storage box according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

4 to 5, the front housing 130 is provided with a second inclined portion 114, as described above. An ice dispersing unit 300 is disposed in the center of the second inclined portion 114 toward the ejection opening 102 to disperse the movement of the ice cubes.

The ice dispersing unit 300 protrudes and rounds outward with respect to the center of the second inclined portion 114.

This is because, when the ice drops on the upper surface of the ice dispersion unit 300, the ice is moved to any one of the right and left sides of the ice dispersion unit 300, to be.

Accordingly, the ice is distributed and supplied uniformly toward the left and right sides of the ice dispersion unit 300, and can be taken out sequentially through the ice extraction member 200.

The ice dispersing unit 300 is disposed adjacent to the ice extraction member 200. This is to prevent the pieces of ice discharged from the ice removal member 200 from being caught between the ice dispersion unit 300 and the ice discharge member 200.

The ice dispersing part 300 has a width that is relatively smaller than the width of the ice rotation area 104.

The ice dispersing unit 300 has a relatively larger width than the diameter of the rotating shaft 220.

If the diameter of the ice dispersing unit 300 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft 220, it is meaningless to disperse the ice, so that the diameter of the ice dispersing unit 300 is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 220.

Between the front slanting portion 114a and the side slanting portion 114b, a guide portion 114c bent in the diagonal direction of the front housing to guide ice to the discharge opening 102 is further included.

The guide portion 114c serves to guide the ice released into the front housing 130 to the discharge opening 102 so that the ice can be slid downward and the inclined end point is directed toward the discharge opening 102, Out port 102 from the rear housing 130 where ice is stored.

The front housing 130 is narrowed in width toward the front.

This is because the front housing 130 comes into contact with the inner surface of the refrigerator 1 when the ice making chamber door 21 is closed in the state that the front housing 130 is installed and thus the ice making chamber door 21 is not closed .

Accordingly, the front housing 130 has a predetermined angle and a narrow width toward the front, thereby enabling stable opening and closing of the ice-making chamber door 21.

The thickness of the ice storage box 100 to which the front and rear housings 120 and 130 are coupled is set to be the same as or similar to the thickness of the drawer (not shown) disposed below the ice storage box 100, Design aspects are also satisfied.

Referring to the drawings, the rotating blade portion provided in the ice extraction member will be described.

Referring to FIG. 6, the rotating blade portion 212 is provided with a center portion 212a to which the rotating shaft 220 is fixedly coupled. The center portion 212a is provided with a through hole having a long hole shape through which the rotational motion of the rotation shaft 220 can be transmitted.

At least two or more extension portions 212b extending in a radial direction are spaced apart from each other at the center portion 212a. The extended portion 212b is provided with a receiving portion 212e which is a space in which ice is received between the extended portions 212b.

The extended portion 212b has a shape that the width of the extended portion 212b increases from the central portion 212a to the outer portion as a whole. On both sides of the end portion of the extended portion 212b, ice in the accommodating portion 212e is released A protruded latching portion 212c is formed.

Therefore, when the rotating blade rotates while the ice is received in the accommodating portion 212e, the ice located at the end of the extending portion 212b is caught by the catching portion 212c and moves in the rotating direction of the rotating blade.

When the rotating blade is moved in a state where a plurality of ice is positioned near the catching portion 212c, the catching portion 212c stirs the ice between the plurality of ice pieces to prevent the ice pieces from sticking together and becoming a lump .

One side of the extended portion 212b is provided with a toothed crushing portion 212d which interferes with the fixed blade portion 214 to crush ice.

The other side of the extended portion 212b, that is, the opposite side of the crushing portion 212d, is provided in a smooth surface state so that the ice can move while maintaining the ice-cube state.

When the rotary blades provided in the rotary blade 212 are fixed to the rotary shaft 220, the rotary blades are not arranged in a line, but are arranged slightly wider from the front to the rear.

That is, when viewed from the front, it is preferable that the rotating blades are not completely overlapped but twisted by a certain angle.

This is because, when the rotating blades are rotated in the direction of the stationary blade portion 214 to crush ice, when the rotating blades are disposed in a state of being completely overlapped with each other in a row, the pressing force applied to the ice is dispersed, It does not happen.

However, if it is arranged so as to be slightly twisted as described above, after the ice is crushed in contact with the crushing portion 212d of the first rotating blade, then the crushing portion 212d of the second rotating blade, And comes into contact with the crushing portion 212d of the blade at a predetermined time interval.

Thus, the rotational force of the ice-removing member 300 can be concentrated on the respective crushing portions 212d, so that the crushing performance against ice can be remarkably increased.

In addition, it is preferable that the fixed blade portion 214 (see FIG. 2) is also provided with a serrated crushing portion for crushing ice, and the fixed blade portion 214 is arranged in an L shape But it is not necessarily limited to the above-mentioned form.

The opening and closing member provided in the ice extraction member will be described with reference to the drawings.

7, the opening and closing member 230 includes a pivoting portion 234 rotatably mounted to the ice storage box 100, and the opening and closing member 230 is resiliently attached to the pivoting portion 234, An elastic member 238 in the form of a torsion spring is provided.

Further, a pivot 236 inserted into the elastic member 238 is inserted into the pivot portion 234.

One end of the elastic member 238 is fixed to the ice storage box 100 and the other end is mounted on one side of the opening and closing member 230 to elastically support the opening and closing member 230.

Then, after the opening and closing member 230 is moved by the ice, when the pressing force by the ice is released, the opening and closing member 230 is lifted and returned to the original position.

The opening and closing member 230 includes a first guide surface 232 disposed adjacent to a rotational locus of the rotating blade portion 212 and a second guide surface 232 disposed adjacent to the second guide surface 232 and the second guide surface 234, And a guide surface.

The first guide surface 510 is formed in a shape similar to the rotation locus of the rotary blade 212, and the upper surface is rounded to guide the discharge of the ice.

It is preferable that a plurality of the opening and closing members 230 are provided.

Each of the openable and closable members 230 and 230 may be independently operated, and it is preferable that the operation of the specific openable and closable member 230 does not affect the operation of the other openable / closable member 230.

The reason why it is preferable that a plurality of the open / close members 230 are provided and each of the open / close members 230 is driven independently is as follows.

If the opening and closing member 230 is constituted by only one ice, the ice can be stagnated without being discharged in a state in which the ice is spread over only a part of the first guide surface 232 of the opening and closing member 230, There is a risk of this.

Therefore, even if the ice-catching member 230 is kept in the open state by being caught by any one of the plurality of the opening and closing members 230, the other opening-closing member 230 in which the ice is not caught can maintain the closed state, Unintentional discharge of ice can be prevented.

For this, the elastic member 238 is preferably installed on each of the plurality of opening and closing members 230.

 Each of the opening and closing members 230 is provided with a latching protrusion 232a for preventing the ice that is caught between the opening and closing member 230 and the rotating blade from being discharged to the outside when the opening and closing member 230 is closed.

The engaging protrusion 232a may be provided adjacent to an upper end of the first guide surface 232. [

The operation of the ice storage box for a refrigerator according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, a state in which ice is discharged through an ice storage box will be described first, and a state in which ice is discharged through a rear housing will be described first.

The ice discharge state through the front housing of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 8, the ice is irregularly moved toward the inside of the ice storage box 100, but the ice falls largely toward the left, right and inner front sides of the ice storage box 100.

When the ice is released toward the inner front, ice shown by the solid line drops toward the ice dispersing unit 300.

The ice is moved to the front slope part 114a along the rounded outer side of the ice dispersing part 300 as shown by a dotted line in a state where the ice is primarily collided with the ice dispersing part 300, And is then moved to the side inclined portion 114b.

The ice moved to the front slope part 114a is moved toward the ice extraction member 200 by gravity at the current position shown by the dotted line.

The ice moves downward as it is at the current position and is moved to the opening and closing member 230 and is positioned on the first guide surface 232 (see FIG. 7) of the opening and closing member 230.

At this time, the first guide surface 232 is formed to be rounded to the upper side, and the engagement protrusion 232a is provided so that the ice is not directly discharged through the discharge port 102 but is retained by the opening / closing member 230 .

In this state, the discharge member 230 is rotated and the ice is discharged through the discharge port 102.

The movement of the ice moved through the side inclined portion of the second inclined portion will be described with reference to the drawings.

9, the ice moved to the discharge port 102 along the side inclined portion 114b of the front housing 130 is moved to the ice-moving member 230 and the ice moved to the ice- It is divided into ice.

The ice moved to the opening and closing member 230 is moved along the inclined slope of the side slope portion 114b and guided by the guide portion 114C toward the opening and closing member 230. [

The guide portion 114C is bent and arranged in the oblique direction of the front housing 130 to guide the ice to move in the direction of the arrow shown in the drawing while limiting the movement to the front slope portion 114a.

Since the inclined end point of the guide portion 114C is disposed so as to face the discharge port 102, the guide portion 114C guides the movement of the ice to the discharge port 102 more stably.

The ice moved to the rotating blade part 212 is stably moved toward the rotating blade part 212 without being moved to the front slope part 114a by the guide part 114C.

In this embodiment, the ice storage box 100 is installed in the refrigerator body 2, but it can be applied to both the ice-making machine and the ice water purifier.

The state in which the ice is taken out through the forward inclined portion will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 10, a plurality of ice stored inside the ice storage box 100 are stored along the inner shape of the rear housing 120 provided in the ice storage box 100.

As shown in the figure, a plurality of ice are stacked toward the discharge port 102 provided with the ice discharge member 200.

A plurality of ice are stacked in accordance with the inclined slopes of the ice rotation area 104 and the first and second guide slopes 112a and 112b.

If the user desires shredded piece ice, the user issues an input command related to the shredding ice ejection, and the ice extraction member 200 is rotated in the first rotation direction.

Then, the crushing portion 212d of the rotating blade portion 212 comes closer to the crushing portion 212d of the fixed blade portion 214. [

The ice is received in the receiving portion 212e and is placed on the stationary blade portion 214 by the rotation of the rotating blade portion 212. [

When the rotating blade 214 further rotates in this state, the ice between the crushed portion 212d of the rotating blade 214 and the crushed portion 212d of the fixed blade 214 breaks And is discharged toward the outside in the direction of the discharge port (102).

When the pierced ice is discharged, the opening / closing member 230 is kept closed, so that the pierced ice is prevented from being discharged downward.

Referring to FIG. 11, when the user issues an input command related to the extraction of ice cubes so as to discharge the ice cubes, the ice extraction member 200 is rotated in the second rotation direction.

Then, the ice received in the receiving part 212e of the rotating blade part 212 moves in the direction of the opening and closing member 230 by the rotation of the rotating bladder 212.

In this state, if the rotation of the rotating blade part 212 continues, the extended part 212b of the rotating blade part 212 presses the ice placed on the opening and closing member 230.

Then, the pressing force of the rotating blade part 212 is applied to the opening and closing member 230 through the ice.

The opening and closing member 230 rotates in the downward direction by the pressing force of the ice and the rotating blade part 212 and is rotated in a predetermined direction between the end of the extending part 212b of the rotating blade part 212 and the end part of the opening and closing member 230 And the ice is discharged between the spaced spaces.

When the ice is discharged a predetermined amount, the ice discharging member 200 stops rotating, and the pressing force of the rotating blade part 212 against ice is lost.

When the pressing force disappears, the opening and closing member 230 is returned to its original position by the elastic force of the elastic member 238, and is positioned adjacent to the end of the extended portion 212b of the rotating blade portion 212. [

Accordingly, the ice is prevented from moving toward the discharge port 102.

When ice is present between the rotating blade 230 and the opening and closing member 230, the ice is caught by the catching protrusion 232a provided on the opening and closing member 230, Falling can be prevented.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation in the scope of the appended claims. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made and equivalents may be resorted to without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
