An embodiment of the present application provides an ice moving device 100. Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an embodiment of the ice moving device of the present application. The ice moving device 100 includes an ice moving portion 110, an ice moving channel 120, and a main rotating member 130. Among them, an ice moving inlet 111, an ice moving cavity 112, and an ice moving outlet 113 that are interconnected are formed in the ice moving portion 110. Among them, the ice moving channel 120 is connected to the ice moving cavity 112 through the ice moving outlet 113. The ice moving channel 120 is also used to connect to the ice taking assembly 300 (see FIG. 10). The main rotating member 130 is rotatably arranged in the ice moving cavity 112. The ice moving inlet 111 and the ice moving outlet 113 are located on the periphery of the main rotating member 130. The main rotating member 130 can rotate along the first direction X and carry the ice cubes entering the ice moving chamber 112 through the ice moving inlet 111 and throw them out through the ice moving outlet 113 to the ice moving channel 120 .

In the present application, the ice moving part 110 of the ice moving device 100 can be arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12 (see FIG. 10), the ice taking assembly 300 is located in the second refrigeration compartment 13 (see FIG. 10) above the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the ice moving channel 120 extends from the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the second refrigeration compartment 13. Among them, the first refrigeration compartment 12 is a refrigeration compartment, and the second refrigeration compartment 13 is a freezing compartment. The ice moving inlet 111 can be connected to the ice making assembly 200 (see FIG. 10), and the ice cubes enter the ice moving chamber 112 from the ice moving inlet 111. The main rotating member 130 carries the ice cubes and rotates along the first direction X, and throws the ice cubes toward the ice moving outlet 113. The ice cubes have a certain initial velocity, move from the ice moving outlet 113 to the ice moving channel 120, and finally move along the ice moving channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300 (see FIG. 10). Since the main rotating member 130 can rotate continuously at a certain speed, the ice cubes coming out of the ice making assembly 200 can be continuously and quickly ejected to the ice taking assembly 300. The ice cubes move quickly and the ice taking efficiency is high, thereby realizing rapid and continuous ice taking. The user has a short waiting time for taking ice. The ice cubes are not easy to melt, the ice cubes are of high quality, and the ice cubes are not easy to melt and stick together.

The refrigeration device 10 using the ice moving device 100 of the present application can set the ice making assembly 200 in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the ice taking assembly 300 in the second refrigeration compartment 13. The ice moving device 100 can quickly transport the ice cubes in the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the ice taking assembly 300 in the second refrigeration compartment 13 one by one. The ice moving device 100 transports the ice cubes to the ice taking assembly 300 located in the second refrigeration compartment 13 above, which can facilitate users to take ice and improve user experience. In addition, the ice making assembly 200 is set in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and can share the cold source with the first refrigeration compartment 12. There is no need to set up an evaporator required for ice making separately because the ice making assembly 200 is set in the second refrigeration compartment 13, which saves parts cost and energy consumption cost, reduces the space occupied in the second refrigeration compartment 13, and improves the volume ratio of the second refrigeration compartment 13. The main rotating member 130 drives the ice cubes to rotate so that the ice cubes obtain an initial velocity and then quickly move to the ice taking assembly 300. The ice cubes are directly moved from the first refrigerating compartment 12 to the ice taking assembly 300 of the second refrigerating compartment 13. The ice cubes move quickly, which not only has a high ice taking efficiency, but also does not need to set an evaporator in the second refrigerating compartment 13 for keeping the ice cubes cold, thereby further improving the volume ratio of the second refrigerating compartment 13.

The ice moving device 100 of the present application not only improves the efficiency of ice taking, but also solves the problem of inconvenience in ice taking for the user and the space occupation of the second refrigeration compartment 13 .

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 , the ice moving device 100 further includes a conveying channel 150. The conveying channel 150 is connected to the ice moving chamber 112 through the ice moving inlet 111, and the conveying channel 150 is used to connect to the ice outlet end of the ice making assembly 200 to convey ice cubes to the ice moving chamber 112. The ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 is located higher than the ice moving inlet 111, and the ice cubes enter the ice moving portion 110 along the conveying channel 150 under the action of gravity; or, the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 may be located at or below the ice moving inlet 111, and the ice cubes are driven by some power mechanism to move along the conveying channel 150 into the ice moving chamber 112. Therefore, the ice moving inlet 111 may be located at the upper half, lower half or other positions of the ice moving chamber 112, and the ice cubes may enter the ice moving chamber 112 and be stuck in the main rotating member 130 under the action of gravity or other power mechanisms.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 , the ice-moving channel 120 includes an ice-moving section 121 and a guide section 122. The ice-moving section 121 is connected to the ice-moving chamber 112 through the ice-moving outlet 113. The guide section 122 is connected to the ice-moving section 121 and is bent toward one side for guiding to the ice-taking assembly 300. The ice-moving section 121 is used to connect to the ice-moving chamber 112. When the ice cube moves in the ice-moving section 121, the ice cube rises a sufficient distance along the ice-moving section 121; the guide section 122 is used to turn and connect to the ice-taking assembly 300. When the ice cube moves to the guide section 122, the ice cube has risen a sufficient distance. The guide section 122 is used to change the moving direction of the ice cube so that it moves toward the ice-taking assembly 300. The ice-moving section 121 and the guide section 122 have a smooth transition.

Specifically, the ice moving section 121 can be arranged in the vertical direction to shorten the distance that the ice cubes rise along the ice moving section 121. Of course, the ice moving section 121 can also be extended in a direction with a smaller angle with the vertical direction; or, the ice moving channel 120 can be in an arc shape as a whole, and the ice moving channel 120 is used to extend from the ice moving outlet 113 to the ice taking assembly 300, so as to ensure that the ice cubes can rise stably and communicate with the ice taking assembly 300.

Specifically, the angle between the guide section 122 and the ice-moving section 121 in the extension direction of the connection is greater than 90° and less than 180°, so as to prevent the ice cubes from falling back into the ice-moving section 121 due to excessive turning angle when entering the guide section 122 from the ice-moving section 121, thereby ensuring that the ice cubes can smoothly pass through the ice-moving channel and move to the ice-taking assembly 300.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the partial structure of an embodiment of an ice-moving device of the present application. The main rotating member 130 includes a main shaft 131 and a flexible member 132 disposed on the periphery of the main shaft 131. The flexible member 132 facilitates ice cubes to be inserted and rotated with the ice cubes. The main shaft 131 is made of a hard material, and the flexible member 132 is fixed to the main shaft 131 and rotates synchronously with the main shaft 131. Specifically, the main rotating member 130 is a roller brush, and the flexible member 132 is a flexible bristle; or, the main rotating member 130 is an impeller, and the flexible member 132 is a flexible fan blade. The ice-moving device 100 also includes a driving member (not shown in the figure), which is disposed outside the ice-moving chamber 112, and the output end of the driving member passes through the side wall of the ice-moving portion 110 and is coaxially fixed to the main shaft 131, and the rotation of the main rotating member 130 can be controlled by the driving member. Specifically, the driving member may control the start and stop of the rotation of the main rotating member 130 , the rotation direction of the main rotating member 130 , and the rotation speed of the main rotating member 130 .

Since ice cubes are block-shaped objects, when the main rotating member 130 rotates at a high speed, the ice cubes may not be brought in by the main rotating member 130, so that ice blocking occurs at the ice transfer inlet 111. The present application adopts several solutions to solve this problem:

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 , a plurality of gaps 1322 are formed at intervals on the outer periphery of the flexible member 132. The size of the gaps 1322 is 1-3 times the size of the ice cube, for example, 1 time, 1.5 times, 2 times, 2.5 times or 3 times. By forming the gaps 1322 at intervals on the outer periphery of the flexible member 132, as the main rotating member 130 rotates, the ice cubes are easily brought into the gaps 1322 when entering the ice moving chamber 112 through the ice moving inlet 111, thereby improving the ice moving efficiency of the ice moving device 100 and preventing the ice cubes from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , FIG3 is a partial structural diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device of the present application. The flexible member 132 includes a first flexible member 1323 and a second flexible member 1324 spaced apart along the outer periphery of the main shaft 131. The hardness of the second flexible member 1324 is lower than that of the first flexible member 1323. Since the hardness of the second flexible member 1324 is lower than that of the first flexible member 1323, as the main rotating member 130 rotates, the ice cubes easily squeeze the first flexible member 1323 to deform when entering the ice moving chamber 112 through the ice moving inlet 111, thereby being brought into the main rotating member 130, and the second flexible member 1324 with higher hardness carries the ice cubes to rotate, thereby improving the ice moving efficiency of the ice moving device 100 and preventing the ice cubes from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

The above solution optimizes the structure of the flexible member 132 so that ice cubes can be easily inserted into the main rotating member 130. In some other solutions, an auxiliary structure that cooperates with the main rotating member 130 can be provided to facilitate ice cubes to be inserted into the main rotating member 130 and avoid ice cubes from being blocked in the ice transfer inlet 111:

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4 , FIG4 is a partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device of the present application. The ice moving portion 110 also includes a pressure plate 116. The pressure plate 116 is disposed in the ice moving portion 110, and the pressure plate 116 is located between the ice moving inlet 111 and the ice moving outlet 113. The shortest distance between the end of the pressure plate 116 facing the main rotating member 130 and the central axis of the main rotating member 130 is less than the radius of the main rotating member 130. During the rotation of the main rotating member 130, the flexible member 132 contacts the pressure plate 116 and deforms, and forms a clearance opening 1321 at the ice moving inlet 111. By pressing a portion of the flexible member 132 through the pressure plate 116, as the main rotating member 130 rotates, ice cubes can be easily brought into the main rotating member 130 at the yielding port 1321 when entering the ice moving chamber 112 through the ice moving inlet 111, thereby improving the ice moving efficiency of the ice moving device 100 and preventing ice cubes from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 is a partial structural diagram of another embodiment of the ice-moving device of the present application. The ice-moving portion 110 further includes a guide cavity 117 and a secondary rotating member 140. The guide cavity 117 is in communication with the ice-moving cavity 112. The ice-moving ice-inlet 111 is located between the guide cavity 117 and the ice-moving cavity 112. The secondary rotating member 140 is rotatably disposed in the guide cavity 117. The secondary rotating member 140 rotates along a second direction Y, and the second direction Y is opposite to the first direction X. The shortest distance between the secondary rotating member 140 and the main rotating member 130 is smaller than the size of the ice cube. Since the rotation direction of the secondary rotating member 140 is opposite to the rotation direction of the main rotating member 130, and the ice-moving ice-inlet 111 is located between the main rotating member 130 and the secondary rotating member 140, the ice cubes are easily brought into the main rotating member 130 under the opposite movement of the two rotating members, thereby improving the ice-moving efficiency of the ice-moving device 100 and preventing the ice cubes from being blocked at the ice-moving ice-inlet 111. The radius of the auxiliary rotating member 140 is smaller than that of the main rotating member 130, which reduces the volume occupied by the ice moving device 100 and makes it easier for ice cubes to be stuck in the main rotating member 130. The outer wall of the auxiliary rotating member 140 fits the guide cavity 117, and the hardness of the auxiliary rotating member 140 can be higher than that of the flexible member 132, so as to drive the ice cubes to be stuck in the main rotating member 130. The auxiliary rotating member 140 can also adopt a rotating structure such as a roller brush or an impeller.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , FIG6 is a partial structural diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device of the present application. The ice moving device 100 also includes a transmission rotating member 151, which is rotatably disposed in the conveying channel 150, and the rotation speed of the transmission rotating member 151 is lower than that of the main rotating member 130. Since the rotation speed of the transmission rotating member 151 is lower than that of the main rotating member 130, the ice cubes enter the ice moving chamber 112 after passing through the transmission rotating member 151 in the conveying channel 150 to obtain a certain speed. The ice cubes that obtain a certain speed are more likely to get stuck in the high-speed rotating main rotating member 130, thereby preventing the ice cubes from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

It should be noted that in order to improve the ice moving efficiency of the ice moving device 100 and avoid the blockage of ice cubes at the ice moving inlet 111, only the above-mentioned solution of structural optimization of the flexible part 132 can be adopted, or only the above-mentioned solution of additionally providing an auxiliary structure that cooperates with the main rotating part 130 can be adopted. At least two solutions can also be combined to avoid the blockage of ice cubes at the ice moving inlet 111.

With the ice-moving device 100 of the present application, when the size of the ice cube is within a predetermined range, the main rotating member 130 rotates at a predetermined speed along the first direction X, and the ice cube can usually be smoothly carried and thrown from the ice-moving outlet 113 to the ice-moving channel 120, and the ice cube finally moves smoothly along the ice-moving channel 120 to the ice-taking assembly 300. However, in some special cases, such as when the size of the ice cube changes greatly, or when the main rotating member 130 rotates while carrying the ice cube, the ice cube and the main rotating member 130 are relatively displaced, and when the main rotating member 130 throws the ice cube to the ice-moving channel 120, the ice cube fails to obtain the required initial velocity, etc., which will cause the ice cube to fail to smoothly move along the ice-moving channel 120 to the ice-taking assembly 300. The ice cube that does not reach the ice-taking assembly 300 will fall back into the ice-moving part 110 along the ice-moving channel 120. In order to avoid ice blockage affecting the ice-moving efficiency of the ice-moving device 100, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of another embodiment of the ice-moving device of the present application. The ice removal chamber 112 further includes an ice removal and return opening 119, and the ice removal device 100 further includes an ice return channel 160. The ice return channel 160 is connected to the ice removal and return opening 119. The ice outlet end of the ice return channel 160 is lower than the ice outlet end of the ice removal channel 120. The main rotating member 130 can also rotate along a second direction Y to carry the ice cubes in the ice removal chamber 112 and throw them from the ice removal and return opening 119 to the ice return channel 160, and the second direction Y is opposite to the first direction X. By setting up the ice return channel 160, when the ice cubes that have not reached the ice retrieval assembly 300 fall back along the ice moving channel 120 and block the ice moving part 110, the entry of ice into the ice moving part 110 through the ice moving inlet 111 can be stopped, and the main rotating part 130 can rotate along the second direction Y to throw the ice cubes into the ice return channel 160. Since the ice outlet end of the ice return channel 160 is lower than the ice outlet end of the ice moving channel 120, the ice cubes can be discharged through the ice return channel 160 at a relatively low speed, thereby avoiding the accumulation of ice cubes and blocking the ice moving part 110, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the ice moving device 100.

The ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 is connected to the ice-making assembly 200, and the ice outlet end of the conveying assembly is connected to the ice-moving portion 110, and the ice cubes of the ice-making assembly 200 are moved to the ice-moving portion 110 through the conveying channel 150. The ice outlet end of the ice-returning channel 160 is connected to the conveying channel 150, and the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second direction Y to send the ice cubes blocked in the ice-moving portion 110 back to the conveying channel 150, so as to fall into the ice-moving portion 110 again. Alternatively, the ice outlet end of the ice-returning channel 160 is connected to the ice-making assembly 200, and the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second direction Y to send the ice cubes blocked in the ice-moving portion 110 back to the ice-making assembly 200. Specifically, the ice-returning channel 160 is connected to the ice storage box of the ice-making assembly 200.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the ice-moving part 110 includes a force storage area 114. The inner wall of the force storage area 114 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130, and the main rotating member 130 rotates along the first direction X to allow the ice cubes to enter the ice-moving channel 120 after passing through the ice-moving inlet 111, the force storage area 114, and the ice-moving outlet 113 in sequence. When the ice cubes enter the ice-moving inlet 111, since the inner wall of the force storage area 114 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130, the main rotating member 130 can hold the ice cubes and carry them to rotate along the first direction X to a sufficient angle, so that the ice cubes are fully accelerated. When the ice cubes continue to rotate until they are separated from the force storage area 114 and correspond to the ice-moving outlet 113, the ice cubes lose the outer periphery constraints and have a sufficient speed to move toward the ice-moving channel 120, and the ice cubes move along the ice-moving channel 120 to the ice-taking assembly 300. By setting the power storage area 114, the ice cubes can be accelerated sufficiently to obtain a sufficient initial velocity, which is conducive to the ice cubes passing through the ice moving channel 120. It should be noted that by adjusting the setting range of the power storage area 114 and the size and rotation speed of the main rotating member 130, the initial velocity of the ice cubes after passing through the power storage area 114 can be changed. By adjusting various parameters, the ice cubes can pass through the ice moving channel 120 at a suitable speed, ensuring that the ice cubes can enter the ice taking assembly 300 through the ice moving channel 120 at a certain speed, and the speed of the ice cubes will not be too high to cause collision noise. Similarly, when the ice cubes that have not reached the ice taking assembly 300 fall back into the ice moving part 110 along the ice moving channel 120, the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second direction Y to allow the ice cubes to enter the ice return channel 160 after passing through the ice moving and returning opening 119 from the power storage area 114. By providing the force storage area 114 , when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second direction Y, the ice cubes can have a certain initial velocity and then be thrown toward the ice return channel 160 through the ice moving and returning opening 119 .

Since the ice-removing inlet 111, the ice-removing return inlet 119 and the ice-removing outlet 113 are all located at the periphery of the main rotating member 130, in order to enable the main rotating member 130 to rotate along the first direction X, the main rotating member 130 can carry the ice cubes and rotate and throw them toward the ice-removing outlet 113 instead of throwing them along the ice-removing return inlet 119; and in order to enable the main rotating member 130 to rotate along the second direction Y, the main rotating member 130 can carry the ice cubes and rotate and throw them toward the ice-removing return inlet 119 instead of throwing them along the ice-removing inlet 111, in some embodiments, the vertical plane where the rotation axis of the main rotating member 130 is located is the first plane Z, the ice-removing outlet 113 is located on one side of the first plane Z, the ice-removing return inlet 119 is located on the other side of the first plane Z, the ice-removing inlet 111 is located between the first plane Z and the ice-removing return inlet 119, or the ice-removing inlet 111 is located between the first plane Z and the ice-removing outlet 113. Since the ice removal outlet 113 and the ice removal return outlet 119 are respectively located on both sides of the first plane Z, when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the first direction X, the main rotating member 130 can carry the ice cubes to rotate, and throw the ice cubes toward the ice removal outlet 113 after the ice cubes gain a certain speed; when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second direction Y, the main rotating member 130 can carry the ice cubes to rotate, and throw the ice cubes toward the ice removal return outlet 119 after the ice cubes gain a certain speed.

It should be noted that, when the main rotating member 130 carries the ice cubes and rotates along the first direction X, the ice cubes that enter the ice moving chamber 112 from the ice moving inlet 111 may first pass through the ice moving return outlet 119, but at this time the ice cubes rotate at a small angle with the main rotating member 130 and obtain a low speed. The ice cubes will not separate from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown out to the ice moving return outlet 119. When the ice cubes continue to rotate with the main rotating member 130 to the corresponding ice moving outlet 113, the ice cubes will obtain a sufficient speed to separate from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown out to the ice moving outlet 113. Similarly, when the main rotating member 130 carries the ice cubes and rotates along the second direction Y, the ice cubes may first pass through the ice-moving and ice-inlet port 111, but at this time the ice cubes rotate at a small angle along with the main rotating member 130 and obtain a low speed, so the ice cubes will not separate from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown out to the ice-moving and ice-inlet port 111. When the ice cubes continue to rotate along with the main rotating member 130 to the corresponding ice-moving and ice-returning port 119, the ice cubes obtain a sufficient speed to separate from the main rotating member 130 and be thrown out to the ice-moving and ice-returning port 119.

In order to make it easier for ice cubes to pass through the ice-moving channel 120 and improve the success rate of ice-moving and throwing, in some embodiments, when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the first direction X, the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130 is used to define a first motion trajectory of the ice cube. The tangent direction of the first motion trajectory corresponding to the connection between the power storage area 114 and the ice-moving and ice-outlet 113 is located in the ice-moving channel 120, so that when the main rotating member 130 carries the ice cubes and rotates to the connection between the power storage area 114 and the ice-moving and ice-outlet 113, the ice cubes are about to leave the power storage area 114 and move toward the ice-moving and ice-outlet 113. At this time, the movement direction of the ice cubes is located in the ice-moving channel 120, and the ice cubes can move smoothly to the ice-moving channel 120, and smoothly move through the ice-moving channel 120 to the ice-taking assembly 300, and the ice-moving device 100 has a high success rate in throwing ice cubes. Specifically, the tangent direction of the connection between the first motion trajectory corresponding to the power storage area 114 and the ice removal outlet 113 coincides with the extension direction of the ice removal section 121 of the ice removal channel 120, the ice cubes have less resistance to movement in the ice removal section 121, and the power required for the main rotating part 130 to drive the ice cubes through the ice removal channel 120 is smaller.

In order to make it easier for ice cubes to pass through the ice return channel 160 and improve the success rate of ice return and throwing, in some embodiments, when the main rotating member 130 rotates along the second direction Y, the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130 is used to define a second motion trajectory of the ice cubes. The tangent direction of the second motion trajectory corresponding to the connection between the power storage area 114 and the ice transfer and return port 119 is located in the ice return channel 160, so that when the main rotating member 130 carries the ice cubes and rotates to the connection between the power storage area 114 and the ice transfer and return port 119, the ice cubes are about to leave the power storage area 114 and move toward the ice transfer and return port 119. At this time, the movement direction of the ice cubes is located in the ice return channel 160, and the ice cubes can move smoothly to the ice return channel 160, and smoothly move to the ice making assembly 200 through the ice return channel 160, avoiding blockage of the ice transfer part 110. Specifically, the tangent direction of the connection between the second motion trajectory corresponding to the power storage area 114 and the ice transfer and return port 119 coincides with the extension direction of the ice return channel 160, the ice cubes have less resistance to movement in the ice return channel 160, and the power required for the main rotating part 130 to drive the ice cubes through the ice return channel 160 is smaller.

In some embodiments, the ice moving device 100 further includes a first sensor 171 and a second sensor 172. The first sensor 171 is disposed at the ice moving inlet 111 or the conveying channel 150. The first sensor 171 is used to sense the passage of ice cubes, indicating that ice cubes have entered the ice moving chamber 112 at this time. The second sensor 172 is disposed at the ice outlet end of the ice moving channel 120. The second sensor 172 is used to sense the passage of ice cubes, indicating that ice cubes have successfully passed through the ice moving channel 120 and moved to the ice taking assembly 300 at this time.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , FIG8 is a partial structural diagram of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application. The ice removal portion 110 also includes a connection area 115 and a third sensor 173. The inner wall of the connection area 115 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member 130. The connection area 115 is connected to the ice removal inlet 111 and the ice removal outlet 113 on the side away from the power storage area 114. The third sensor 173 is arranged in the connection area 115. The third sensor 173 is used to sense the passage of ice cubes. When the third sensor 173 senses the passage of ice cubes, it indicates that the main rotating member 130 has not thrown the ice cubes to the ice removal outlet 113, and the ice cubes are forced to pass through the connection area 115. At this time, an ice blocking failure may occur. When the third sensor 173 senses the passage of ice cubes, it can control the ice-making assembly 200 to stop adding ice, and at the same time control the main rotating member 130 to rotate along the second direction Y to throw the ice cubes blocked in the ice moving chamber 112 to the ice return channel 160 to avoid ice blockage.

Since the ice cubes move at high speed during the ejection process, there may be friction and collision, so it is possible that crushed ice will be generated in the cavity, and the crushed ice is difficult to eject. As the crushed ice accumulates more and more, it will affect the rotation of the main rotating member 130. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9, FIG9 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the ice moving part of another embodiment of the ice moving device of the present application. The bottom of the ice moving part 110 is provided with a through hole 118 that communicates with the ice moving cavity 112. The ice moving device 100 includes a collecting member 175. The collecting member 175 is arranged below the ice moving part 110. The through hole 118 allows crushed ice to pass through but does not allow whole ice to pass through, and the collecting member 175 receives the crushed ice that falls from the through hole 118. The collecting member 175 and the ice moving part 110 are placed together in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the user can remove and clean the collecting member 175 by opening the first refrigeration compartment 12.

Please refer to Figure 10, which is a flow chart of an embodiment of a control method for a refrigeration device of the present application. Another embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a refrigeration device. Among them, the refrigeration device includes an ice-making component, an ice-moving device, an ice-taking component and a control device. The ice-moving device adopts the ice-moving device in any of the above embodiments. The control device can control the implementation of the control method in any corresponding embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the ice-moving device includes an ice-moving part, an ice-moving channel and a main rotating member. Among them, the ice-moving part is formed with an ice-moving inlet, an ice-moving cavity and an ice-moving outlet that are interconnected. The ice-moving inlet is connected to the ice-making component. The ice-moving channel is connected to the ice-moving cavity through the ice-moving outlet. The ice-moving channel is also used to connect to the ice-taking component. The main rotating member is rotatably arranged in the ice-moving cavity. The main rotating member can rotate along a first direction and carry ice cubes entering the ice-moving cavity from the ice-moving inlet and throw them out from the ice-moving outlet to the ice-moving channel.

In some embodiments, a method for controlling a refrigeration device includes:

S11: Obtaining an ice taking instruction.

The ice-taking instruction is obtained, and the ice-taking instruction can be generated by user operation. The ice-taking instruction includes starting ice-taking and a target ice-taking amount. Specifically, the control device of the refrigeration device can form the ice-taking instruction by obtaining the user's operation on the operation interface of the refrigeration device, or the ice-taking instruction can also be formed by the user's operation on the application of the mobile terminal, and the control device of the refrigeration device can obtain the ice-taking instruction.

S12: Controlling the main rotating member to rotate in a first direction at a first speed.

The main rotating member is controlled to rotate in a first direction at a first speed. The first speed is the rotation speed of the main rotating member, and the first speed is adapted to the size of the ice cubes prepared by the ice-making assembly and the height of the ice-taking assembly. Under normal circumstances, after the ice cubes prepared by the ice-making assembly enter the ice-moving part, the main rotating member can carry the ice cubes and rotate in a first direction at the first speed, and throw the ice cubes toward the ice-moving outlet. The ice cubes have a certain initial velocity, move from the ice-moving outlet to the ice-moving channel, and finally move along the ice-moving channel to the ice-taking assembly.

S13: Controlling the ice-making assembly to transport ice cubes to the ice-moving part, so that the ice cubes sequentially pass through the ice-moving inlet and the ice-moving outlet and then enter the ice-moving channel.

Since the main rotating member rotates in the first direction at the first speed, the main rotating member can stably project ice cubes toward the ice taking assembly. The ice making assembly is controlled to continuously transport ice cubes to the ice moving part, and the main rotating member continuously rotates at the first speed, so that ice cubes from the ice making assembly can be continuously and quickly projected to the ice taking assembly, the ice cubes move quickly, the ice taking efficiency is high, and rapid and continuous ice taking is achieved.

In some embodiments, the ice-moving part further includes a guide cavity and an auxiliary rotating member. The guide cavity is in communication with the ice-moving cavity. The ice-moving inlet is located between the guide cavity and the ice-moving cavity. The auxiliary rotating member is rotatably disposed in the guide cavity. The shortest distance between the auxiliary rotating member and the main rotating member is smaller than the size of the ice cube. Specifically, the outer wall of the auxiliary rotating member fits the guide cavity, and the hardness of the auxiliary rotating member may be higher than that of the flexible member, so as to drive the ice cube to be stuck into the main rotating member.

Before controlling the ice-making component to convey ice cubes to the ice-moving part, the control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application also includes: controlling the auxiliary rotating member to rotate in a second direction, the second direction being opposite to the first direction. Since the rotation direction of the auxiliary rotating member is opposite to that of the main rotating member, and the ice-moving inlet is located between the main rotating member and the auxiliary rotating member, the ice cubes can be easily brought into the main rotating member under the opposite movement of the two rotating members, thereby improving the ice-moving efficiency of the ice-moving device and avoiding the blockage of ice cubes at the ice-moving inlet. Among them, after obtaining the ice-taking instruction, controlling the auxiliary rotating member to rotate in the second direction can be started synchronously with controlling the main rotating member to rotate in the first direction at a first speed, or can have a sequence, which is not limited here.

In some embodiments, the ice moving device further comprises a conveying channel and a transmission rotating member, wherein the conveying channel is connected to the ice making assembly and the ice moving and ice inlet, and the transmission rotating member is rotatably disposed in the conveying channel. The ice cubes are transferred to the main rotating member via the transmission rotating member.

Before controlling the ice-making assembly to convey ice cubes to the ice-moving part, the control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application further includes: controlling the secondary rotating member to rotate at a second speed to convey the ice cubes to the main rotating member via the transmission rotating member, and the second speed is lower than the first speed. Since the rotation speed of the transmission rotating member is lower than that of the main rotating member, the ice cubes enter the ice-moving chamber after passing through the transmission rotating member in the conveying channel to obtain a certain speed. The ice cubes that obtain a certain speed are more likely to get stuck in the high-speed rotating main rotating member, thereby preventing the ice cubes from being blocked at the ice-moving inlet.

In some embodiments, the ice removal device further includes a first sensor. The first sensor is disposed at the ice removal inlet or the conveying channel. When the first sensor is disposed at the conveying channel, it can be disposed at the inlet end, the outlet end, or any position between the inlet end and the outlet end of the conveying channel. The first sensor is used to sense the passage of ice cubes, indicating that ice cubes have entered the ice removal chamber at this time.

Please refer to FIG. 11 , which is a flow chart of another embodiment of a control method for a refrigeration device of the present application.

The control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application also includes:

S141: Obtaining ice entry information of ice cubes through a first sensor, where the ice entry information includes the ice entry interval between two adjacent ice cubes.

The first sensor is used to sense the passage of ice cubes, indicating that ice cubes have entered the ice removal chamber. Ice entry information of ice cubes can be obtained through the first sensor, and the ice entry information is generated by the ice cubes passing through the first sensor. The ice entry information also includes the ice entry interval between two adjacent ice cubes. Specifically, the first sensor senses the passage of each ice cube and records its passing time, and the ice entry interval between two adjacent ice cubes can be obtained through the passing time of the two adjacent ice cubes.

S142: Determine whether the ice entry interval duration is less than the first interval duration.

The first interval duration is a preset parameter. Usually, when the ice entry interval duration is greater than or equal to the first interval duration, it indicates that the speed at which ice cubes enter the ice removal chamber is within a normal range, and the main rotating member rotates in a first direction at a first speed to normally eject ice cubes through the ice removal channel to the ice taking assembly. It is determined whether the ice entry interval duration is less than the first interval duration.

S143: If the ice entry interval is shorter than the first interval, the main rotating member is controlled to rotate in the first direction at a third speed, where the third speed is greater than the first speed.

If the ice entry interval is shorter than the first interval, it means that the speed of ice cubes entering the ice removal chamber is faster, and the main rotating member may carry more ice cubes and rotate at the same time. Therefore, in order to ensure that each ice cube has enough speed to pass through the ice removal channel smoothly, the main rotating member can be controlled to rotate in the first direction at a third speed, which is greater than the first speed.

S144: If the ice-entering interval is greater than or equal to the first interval duration, the main rotating member is controlled to rotate in the first direction at a first speed.

If the ice entry interval is greater than or equal to the first interval, it means that the speed at which the ice cubes enter the ice moving chamber is within the preset normal range. The main rotating part rotates in the first direction at the first speed to normally project the ice cubes through the ice moving channel to the ice taking assembly, and can continue to return to the step of monitoring whether the ice entry interval is less than the first interval.

In some embodiments, the ice moving device further comprises a second sensor. The second sensor is arranged at the ice outlet end of the ice moving channel. The second sensor is used to sense the passage of ice cubes, indicating that ice cubes have successfully passed through the ice moving channel and moved to the ice taking assembly.

Please refer to FIG. 12 , which is a flow chart of another embodiment of the control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application.

The control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application also includes:

S151: within a preset time after obtaining the ice-in information, determining whether the second sensor obtains the ice-out information of the ice cubes.

In order to determine whether the main rotating part can normally project ice cubes through the ice moving channel to the ice taking assembly, within the preset time of obtaining the ice input information, it is determined whether the second sensor part obtains the ice output information of the ice cubes. The ice output information is generated by the second sensor part sensing the passage of ice cubes.

S152: If the second sensor does not obtain the ice-out information of the ice cubes, the main rotating element is controlled to rotate in the first direction at a fourth speed, and the fourth speed is greater than the first speed.

Under normal circumstances, within the preset time when the first sensor obtains the ice cubes and generates the ice-in information, the main rotating part has already ejected the ice cubes through the ice-moving channel to the ice-taking assembly, and the second sensor can obtain the ice-out information of the ice cubes. However, within the preset time when the ice-in information is obtained, the second sensor does not obtain the ice-out information of the ice cubes, which may indicate ice blockage. Therefore, the main rotating part is controlled to rotate in the first direction at a fourth speed, which is greater than the first speed. By increasing the rotation speed of the main rotating part, greater power is provided to the ice cubes, so that they can smoothly pass through the ice-moving channel and reach the ice-taking assembly.

S153: If the second sensor obtains ice-out information of ice cubes, the main rotating part is controlled to maintain the current working state.

If the second sensor obtains the ice-out information of the ice cubes, it means that the main rotating part can normally project the ice cubes to the ice-taking assembly through the ice moving channel. The main rotating part can be controlled to maintain the current working state, and can continue to return to execute the monitoring step of determining whether the second sensor obtains the ice-out information of the ice cubes within the preset time after obtaining the ice-in information.

In some embodiments, the ice entry information further includes the amount of ice entry, and the amount of ice entry includes the amount of ice cubes passing through sensed by the first sensor after the ice taking instruction is obtained.

Please refer to FIG. 13 , which is a flow chart of another embodiment of the control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application.

The control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application also includes:

S161: Determine whether the ice intake reaches the target ice extraction amount.

It is determined whether the ice intake amount detected by the first sensor reaches the target ice taking amount in the ice taking instruction.

S162: If the ice intake reaches the target ice removal amount, the ice making assembly is controlled to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice moving part, and the main rotating part is controlled to stop rotating after a preset time.

If the ice input reaches the target ice removal amount, the ice making assembly does not need to continue to deliver ice cubes to the ice moving section. The ice making assembly is controlled to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice moving section, and the main rotating part is controlled to stop rotating after a preset time. The main rotating part continues to rotate within the preset time to eject all the remaining ice cubes in the ice moving section into the ice removal assembly to prevent ice cubes from remaining in the ice moving chamber.

It should be noted that, in the process of the ice-making assembly conveying ice cubes to the ice-moving part, some ice cubes may not have been detected by the first sensor, but have entered the conveying channel and will eventually enter the ice-moving part, so the final ice taking amount may slightly exceed the target ice taking amount, but still be within the range of reasonable ice taking amount. Therefore, in order to obtain an accurate ice taking amount, the first sensor can be set at the ice inlet end of the conveying channel.

S163: If the ice intake amount does not reach the target ice taking amount, the ice making assembly and the main rotating member are controlled to maintain the current working state, and the process returns to the step of determining whether the ice intake amount reaches the target ice taking amount.

In the above embodiment, when the amount of ice input reaches the target amount of ice removal, the ice making assembly can be controlled to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice moving part, and the main rotating part can be controlled to stop rotating after a preset time. In some other embodiments, ice removal can also be stopped in other ways. Please refer to Figure 14, which is a flow chart of another embodiment of the control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application. The control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application also includes:

S171: Obtaining an instruction to pause ice taking.

The ice retrieval pause instruction may be generated by user operation. Specifically, the control device of the refrigeration device may generate the ice retrieval pause instruction by obtaining the user's operation on the operation interface of the refrigeration device, or the ice retrieval pause instruction may also be generated by the user's operation on the application of the mobile terminal, and the control device of the refrigeration device may obtain the ice retrieval pause instruction.

S172: Control the ice-making assembly to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice-moving part, and control the main rotating part to stop rotating after a preset time.

The ice making assembly is controlled to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice moving part, and the main rotating part is controlled to stop rotating after a preset time. The main rotating part continues to rotate within the preset time to eject all the remaining ice cubes in the ice moving part into the ice taking assembly to prevent ice cubes from remaining in the ice moving chamber.

Another embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a refrigeration device, the refrigeration device comprising an ice-making assembly, an ice-moving device, an ice-taking assembly and a control device. The ice-moving device adopts the ice-moving device in any of the above-mentioned embodiments. The control device can control the implementation of the control method in any of the corresponding embodiments of the present application. Specifically, the ice-moving device comprises an ice-moving part, an ice-moving channel, an ice-returning channel and a main rotating member. Among them, the ice-moving part is formed with an ice-moving inlet, an ice-moving cavity, an ice-moving outlet and an ice-moving return outlet that are interconnected. The ice-moving inlet is connected to the ice-making assembly. The ice-moving channel is connected to the ice-moving cavity through the ice-moving outlet. The ice-moving channel is also used to connect to the ice-taking assembly. The ice-returning channel is connected to the ice-moving return outlet. The ice-out end of the ice-returning channel is lower than the ice-out end of the ice-moving channel. The main rotating member can be rotatably arranged in the ice-moving cavity.

Please refer to FIG. 15 , which is a flow chart of another embodiment of the control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application.

The control method of the present application comprises the following steps:

S21: Obtaining an ice taking instruction.

The ice-taking instruction is obtained, and the ice-taking instruction can be generated by user operation. The ice-taking instruction includes starting ice-taking and a target ice-taking amount. Specifically, the control device of the refrigeration device can form the ice-taking instruction by obtaining the user's operation on the operation interface of the refrigeration device, or the ice-taking instruction can also be formed by the user's operation on the application of the mobile terminal, and the control device of the refrigeration device can obtain the ice-taking instruction.

S22: Controlling the main rotating member to rotate in a first direction at a first speed.

The main rotating member is controlled to rotate in a first direction at a first speed. The first speed is the rotation speed of the main rotating member, and the first speed is adapted to the size of the ice cubes prepared by the ice-making assembly and the height of the ice-taking assembly. Under normal circumstances, after the ice cubes prepared by the ice-making assembly enter the ice-moving part, the main rotating member can carry the ice cubes and rotate in a first direction at the first speed, and throw the ice cubes toward the ice-moving outlet. The ice cubes have a certain initial velocity, move from the ice-moving outlet to the ice-moving channel, and finally move to the ice-taking assembly through the ice-moving channel.

S23: Determine whether the ice cube passes through the ice moving channel.

If the ice cubes pass through the ice moving channel, it means that the ice moving device is working properly, and the main rotating part can throw the ice cubes through the ice moving channel to the ice taking assembly. If the ice cubes do not pass through the ice moving channel, it means that the main rotating part does not throw the ice cubes to the ice moving outlet or the ice cubes fall after moving a certain distance along the ice moving channel. The ice cubes may block the ice moving cavity, and corresponding cleaning measures need to be implemented.

There are many ways to determine whether the ice cube has passed through the ice removal channel. The embodiments of the present application specifically disclose the following ways:

In some embodiments, the ice removal device further includes a conveying channel and a first sensor, and the conveying channel connects the ice making assembly and the ice removal inlet. The first sensor is arranged at the ice removal inlet or the conveying channel. When the first sensor is arranged at the conveying channel, it can be arranged at the inlet end, the outlet end or any position between the inlet end and the outlet end of the conveying channel. The first sensor is used to sense the passage of ice cubes, indicating that ice cubes have entered the ice removal chamber at this time. The second sensor can be arranged at the ice outlet end of the ice removal channel. The second sensor is used to sense the passage of ice cubes, indicating that ice cubes have entered the ice removal assembly through the ice removal channel at this time. Before determining whether the ice cubes have passed through the ice removal channel, the control method of the present application also includes: obtaining ice entry information of the ice cubes through the first sensor, the ice entry information is generated by the ice cubes passing through the ice removal inlet or the conveying channel and entering the ice removal channel; obtaining ice exit information of the ice cubes through the second sensor, the ice exit information is generated by the ice cubes passing through the ice outlet end of the ice removal channel.

The first:

The first sensor and the second sensor are quantity sensors. The ice inlet information includes the ice inlet quantity, and the ice inlet quantity increases whenever the first sensor senses the ice cube passing through. The ice outlet information includes the ice outlet quantity, and the ice outlet quantity increases whenever the second sensor senses the ice cube passing through. Determining whether the ice cube passes through the ice moving channel includes: determining whether the ice outlet quantity increases synchronously within a first predetermined time after the ice inlet quantity increases.

Under normal circumstances, within the first predetermined time after the first sensor obtains the ice-in information, that is, within the first predetermined time after the ice-in quantity increases, the main rotating part has ejected the ice cubes through the ice-moving channel to the ice-taking assembly, and the second sensor can obtain the ice-out information of the ice cubes, and the ice-out quantity increases synchronously. By judging whether the ice-out quantity increases synchronously within the first predetermined time after the ice-in quantity increases, it can be judged whether the ice cubes pass through the ice-moving channel. If the ice-out quantity increases synchronously within the first predetermined time after the ice-in quantity increases, the ice cubes pass through the ice-moving channel; if the ice-out quantity does not increase synchronously within the first predetermined time after the ice-in quantity increases, the ice cubes do not pass through the ice-moving channel.

Second type:

The first sensor and the second sensor are proximity sensors. The first sensor senses the ice cube passing through and generates ice entry information, and the second sensor senses the ice cube passing through and generates ice exit information. Determining whether the ice cube passes through the ice moving channel includes: determining whether the second sensor senses ice exit information within a second predetermined time after the first sensor senses the ice entry information.

Under normal circumstances, within the second predetermined time after the first sensor obtains the ice entry information, the main rotating part has already ejected the ice cubes through the ice transfer channel to the ice removal assembly, and the second sensor can obtain the ice exit information of the ice cubes. It can be determined whether the ice cubes have passed through the ice transfer channel by judging whether the second sensor senses the ice exit information within the second predetermined time after the first sensor senses the ice entry information. If the second sensor senses the ice exit information within the second predetermined time after the first sensor senses the ice entry information, the ice cubes have passed through the ice transfer channel; if the second sensor does not sense the ice exit information within the second predetermined time after the first sensor senses the ice entry information, the ice cubes have not passed through the ice transfer channel.

The third type:

In some embodiments, the ice removal unit includes a power storage area, a connection area, and a third sensor. The inner wall of the power storage area is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member, and the main rotating member rotates along a first direction to allow the ice cubes to enter the ice removal channel after passing through the ice removal inlet, the power storage area, and the ice removal outlet in sequence. The inner wall of the connection area is arranged around the outer periphery of the main rotating member. The connection area is connected to the side of the ice removal inlet and the ice removal outlet away from the power storage area. The third sensor is arranged in the connection area. Determining whether the ice cubes pass through the ice removal channel includes: determining whether the third sensor detects the passage of the ice cubes.

Under normal circumstances, ice cubes enter the ice moving chamber from the ice moving inlet, and move from the ice moving outlet to the ice moving channel after passing through the power storage area. The third sensor located in the connection area will not sense the passage of ice cubes. When the third sensor senses the passage of ice cubes, it indicates that the main rotating part has not thrown the ice cubes to the ice moving outlet or the ice cubes have moved a certain distance along the ice moving channel and then fallen. There are ice cubes that have not passed through the ice moving channel and are forced to pass through the connection area. At this time, ice blocking failure may occur. By judging whether the third sensor detects the passage of ice cubes, it can be judged whether the ice cubes have passed through the ice moving channel. If the third sensor detects the passage of ice cubes, there are ice cubes that have not passed through the ice moving channel; if the third sensor does not detect the passage of ice cubes, then the ice cubes have all passed through the ice moving channel and the ice moving device is working normally.

S24: If the ice cubes do not pass through the ice moving channel, the ice making assembly is controlled to stop conveying the ice cubes to the ice moving part, and the main rotating member is controlled to rotate in the second direction and carry the ice cubes in the ice moving chamber to be thrown out from the ice moving return port to the ice returning channel, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

If the ice cubes do not pass through the ice moving channel, the ice making assembly is controlled to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice moving part, and the main rotating member is controlled to rotate in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction. The main rotating member carries the ice cubes in the ice moving chamber and throws them out from the ice moving and returning port to the ice returning channel. Since the ice outlet end of the ice returning channel is lower than the ice outlet end of the ice moving channel, the ice cubes can be discharged through the ice returning channel at a relatively low speed, thereby preventing ice cubes from accumulating and blocking the ice moving part, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the ice moving device.

It should be noted that the main rotating member can rotate in the second direction at a fifth speed, and under normal circumstances, the main rotating member can rotate in the second direction at the fifth speed to eject ice cubes through the ice return channel. The fifth speed is less than or equal to the first speed.

S241: If the ice cubes pass through the ice moving channel, the ice making assembly and the main rotating member are controlled to maintain the current working state.

The ice inlet end of the conveying channel is connected to the ice-making assembly, the ice outlet end of the conveying assembly is connected to the ice-moving part, and the ice cubes of the ice-making assembly are moved to the ice-moving part through the conveying channel. The ice outlet end of the ice-returning channel is connected to the conveying channel, and the main rotating part rotates in the second direction to send the ice cubes blocked in the ice-moving part back to the conveying channel so as to fall into the ice-moving part again. Alternatively, the ice outlet end of the ice-returning channel is connected to the ice-making assembly, and the main rotating part rotates in the second direction to send the ice cubes blocked in the ice-moving part back to the ice-making assembly. Specifically, the ice-returning channel is connected to the ice storage box of the ice-making assembly.

In order to determine whether the ice cubes have passed through the ice return channel smoothly, in some embodiments, the refrigeration device further includes a fourth sensor. The fourth sensor is arranged at the ice outlet end of the ice return channel, and is used to detect whether ice cubes have passed through the ice outlet end of the ice return channel. After controlling the main rotating member to rotate in the second direction, the control method of the refrigeration device of the present application further includes:

S25: Determine whether the fourth sensor detects the passage of ice cubes within a third predetermined time after the main rotating member rotates in the second direction.

Under normal circumstances, within the third predetermined time, the main rotating member rotates in the second direction to send the ice cubes blocked in the ice moving part out of the ice return channel. By judging whether the fourth sensor detects the passing of ice cubes, it can be judged whether the main rotating member successfully ejects the ice cubes in the ice moving chamber through the ice return channel, and it can be used as a basis for whether the ice cube blockage problem in the ice moving chamber has been solved.

S26: If the fourth sensor does not detect the passing of ice cubes, a fault message is issued.

If the fourth sensor does not detect the ice cube passing through, it indicates that the ice cube has not passed through the ice return channel smoothly within the third predetermined time and may still be blocked in the ice transfer chamber. The main rotating member can be controlled to increase the rotation speed and continue to rotate in the second direction to try to eject the ice cube through the ice return channel, and then detect again. If the ice cube still does not pass through, a fault message can be issued. Of course, the user can also be directly prompted with a fault message indicating that the ice transfer chamber is blocked without trying to increase the rotation speed of the main rotating member.

If the fourth sensor detects the ice cubes passing through, it indicates that the ice cubes have passed through the ice return channel smoothly, the ice cubes blocking the ice transfer chamber have been cleared, and normal operation can be restored. Then the process returns to the step of controlling the main rotating member to rotate at the first speed in the first direction.

In some embodiments, the ice entry information also includes the amount of ice entry, and the amount of ice entry includes the amount of ice cubes sensed by the first sensor after the ice removal instruction is obtained. Please refer to Figure 16, which is a flow chart of another embodiment of the control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application. The control method of the refrigeration equipment of the present application also includes:

S271: Determine whether the ice intake reaches the target ice extraction amount.

It is determined whether the ice intake amount detected by the first sensor reaches the target ice taking amount in the ice taking instruction.

S272: If the ice intake reaches the target ice removal amount, the ice making assembly is controlled to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice moving part, and the main rotating part is controlled to stop rotating after a preset time.

If the ice input reaches the target ice removal amount, the ice making assembly does not need to continue to deliver ice cubes to the ice moving section. The ice making assembly is controlled to stop delivering ice cubes to the ice moving section, and the main rotating part is controlled to stop rotating after a preset time. The main rotating part continues to rotate within the preset time to eject all the remaining ice cubes in the ice moving section into the ice removal assembly to prevent ice cubes from remaining in the ice moving chamber.

It should be noted that, in the process of the ice-making assembly conveying ice cubes to the ice-moving part, some ice cubes may not have been detected by the first sensor, but have entered the conveying channel and will eventually enter the ice-moving part, so the final ice taking amount may slightly exceed the target ice taking amount, but still be within the range of reasonable ice taking amount. Therefore, in order to obtain an accurate ice taking amount, the first sensor can be set at the ice inlet end of the conveying channel.

S273: If the ice intake amount does not reach the target ice taking amount, the current working state of the ice making assembly and the main rotating member is maintained, and the process returns to the step of determining whether the ice intake amount reaches the target ice taking amount.

Please continue to refer to Figures 18 and 19. Figure 18 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application; Figure 19 is another schematic diagram of the overall structure of an embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application.

Another embodiment of the present application provides a refrigeration device 10. The refrigeration device 10 includes a housing 11, a first refrigeration compartment 12, a second refrigeration compartment 13, an ice-making assembly 200, an ice-taking assembly 300 and an ice-moving device 100. The first refrigeration compartment 12 is disposed in the housing 11, and the first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a first door 14. The second refrigeration compartment 13 is disposed in the housing 11, and the second refrigeration compartment 13 is located above the first refrigeration compartment 12. The second refrigeration compartment 13 includes a second door 15 rotatably disposed in the housing 11. The ice-making assembly 200 is disposed in the first refrigeration compartment 12. The ice-taking assembly 300 is disposed on the second door 15. The ice-moving device 100 includes an ice-moving channel 120, an ice-moving portion 110 and an ice-moving assembly 101. The ice-moving portion 110 is disposed in the first refrigeration compartment 12. The ice-moving channel 120 extends from the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the second refrigeration compartment 13. The ice moving part 110 is connected to the ice making assembly 200, and the ice moving assembly 101 is arranged in the ice moving part 110 to drive the ice cubes to move out from the ice moving part 110 to the ice moving channel 120. Among them, the first refrigeration compartment 12 is a cold storage compartment, and the second refrigeration compartment 13 is a freezing compartment. The ice moving device 100 can transport the ice cubes in the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the ice taking assembly 300 located above the second refrigeration compartment 13, so as to facilitate the user to take ice and improve the user experience. In addition, the ice making assembly 200 is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and can share the cold source with the first refrigeration compartment 12. There is no need to separately set up an evaporator required for ice making because the ice making assembly 200 is arranged in the second refrigeration compartment 13, which saves costs and the space occupied by the second refrigeration compartment 13, and improves the volume ratio of the second refrigeration compartment 13. The refrigeration equipment 10 of the present application not only improves the efficiency of ice taking, but also solves the problems of inconvenience for users to take ice and the space occupied by the second refrigeration compartment 13.

The ice moving device 100 may be the ice moving device 100 in any of the above embodiments, and the ice moving assembly 101 includes the main rotating member 130 in any of the above embodiments or other driving members capable of realizing ice throwing.

The docking modes between different mechanisms of the ice moving device 100 can all adopt a bell-mouth form, and the inner diameter of the ice moving channel 120 needs to be larger than the size of the ice cubes to avoid jamming during the transportation of ice cubes.

The ice removal channel 120 in the refrigeration device 10 of the present application can be arranged in various locations where the ice removal channel 120 can be arranged, such as the inside of the first refrigeration compartment 12 and/or the second refrigeration compartment 13, the side wall of the first refrigeration compartment 12 and/or the second refrigeration compartment 13, the door of the first refrigeration compartment 12 and/or the second refrigeration compartment 13, and the rotating shaft of the first refrigeration compartment 12 and/or the second refrigeration compartment 13. Several schemes for arranging the ice removal channel 120 at different locations of the refrigeration device 10 will be specifically described below:

<The first option>:

Please refer to FIG. 20 and FIG. 21 . FIG. 20 is a schematic structural diagram of the first solution of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application; FIG. 21 is another schematic structural diagram of the first solution of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application.

The ice removal channel 120 includes a first portion 125, a second portion 126 and a third portion 127 which are connected in sequence. The second portion 126 is rotatably connected to the first portion 125 and/or the third portion 127. The first portion 125 is located in the first refrigeration compartment 12 or the first door body 14. The first portion 125 is connected to the ice removal outlet 113 of the ice removal unit 110, the second portion 126 is located between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, and the third portion 127 is disposed in the second door body 15. The third portion 127 is connected to the ice removal assembly 300. The rotation axis of the second door body 15 is located in the second portion 126. The ice removal assembly 101 can drive ice cubes to move out of the ice removal unit 110 to the ice removal channel 120, and the ice cubes enter the ice removal assembly 300 after passing through the first portion 125, the second portion 126 and the third portion 127 in sequence.

Since the second part 126 is located between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, and the rotation axis of the second door body 15 is located in the second part 126, during the process of the second door body 15 rotating to open and close, the third part 127 and the second part 126 can also always remain connected, and the pipeline sealing of the third part 127 and the second part 126 is good, avoiding condensation problems caused by poor connection sealing.

It should be noted that the rotation axis of the second door body 15 can coincide with the central axis of the second part 126, ensuring that the third part 127 always maintains good docking with the second part 126 during the rotation of the second door body 15. In actual use, due to the cross-sectional shape of the pipeline and manufacturing and installation deviations, the rotation axis of the second door body 15 may be offset from the central axis of the second part 126, but it is only necessary that the rotation axis of the second door body 15 is located in the second part 126, and the rotation of the second door body 15 does not affect the docking of the second part 126 and the third part 127 and the ice passing effect.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 , the first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a top wall 19, a bottom wall, a back wall 18, and a first side wall 16 and a second side wall 17 connecting the top wall 19 and the bottom wall. The first side wall 16 is disposed near the second portion 126. The ice moving portion 110 is located at the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16 of the first refrigeration compartment 12. Specifically, the top wall 19 and the first side wall 16 of the first refrigeration compartment 12 are surrounded to form a receiving space, and the ice moving portion 110 is located in the receiving space and can be fixedly disposed on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16. Similarly, the ice making assembly 200 can also be disposed in the receiving space, and the ice making assembly 200 is fixedly disposed on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16. The ice making assembly 200 is disposed at a position near the top wall 19, which can be closer to the second refrigeration compartment 13, shorten the height required for ice cubes to rise along the ice moving channel 120, reduce the power required for the ice moving assembly 101, and improve the success rate of ice moving.

Since the first part 125 needs to extend to communicate with the second part 126, and the second part 126 is located between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, when the ice-moving part 110 is arranged in the first refrigerating compartment 12, the first door body 14 has a clearance groove matching the first part 125, so that the first part 125 can extend from the inside of the first refrigerating compartment 12 to communicate with the second part 126. At this time, the ice-moving part 110 is fixed to the first refrigerating compartment 12, the first part 125 communicates with the ice-moving part 110 and the second part 126, the position of the first part 125 remains fixed, the first part 125 is relatively independent from the first door body 14, the first door body 14 can be rotatably arranged in the box body 11, or the first refrigerating compartment 12 also includes a first drawer, the first door body 14 is arranged in the first drawer, and the first drawer can be pushed and pulled in the box body 11.

Of course, as shown in FIG. 20 , the ice-moving part 110 can also be arranged on the first door body 14. When the first door body 14 is rotatably arranged on the box body 11, the rotation axis of the first door body 14 is located in the second part 126. Since the second part 126 is located between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15, and the rotation axis of the first door body 14 is located in the second part 126, during the process of the first door body 14 rotating to open and close, the first part 125 and the second part 126 can also always remain docked, and the pipeline sealing of the first part 125 and the second part 126 is good, avoiding the problem of condensation caused by poor docking sealing. It should be noted that at this time, the ice-moving ice inlet 111 of the ice-moving part 110 is separated from the ice-making assembly 200 as the first door body 14 is opened. After the first door body 14 is closed, the ice-moving ice inlet 111 and the ice outlet of the ice-making assembly 200 can be buckled and docked, which does not affect the ice-making assembly 200 to smoothly transport ice cubes to the ice-moving part 110. The ice outlet of the ice-making assembly 200 includes the ice outlet of the ice storage box of the ice-making assembly 200 or the ice outlet of the conveying passage 150 .

In order to realize the relative rotation between the second door body 15 and the box body 11 and the docking of the various parts of the ice removal channel 120, in some embodiments, the second refrigeration compartment 13 includes a first rotating shaft member (not shown in the figure) and a second rotating shaft member arranged coaxially. The second door body 15 is rotatably connected to the box body 11 through the first rotating shaft member on the side away from the first door body 14. The second rotating shaft member is arranged on the side of the second door body 15 close to the first door body 14. The second rotating shaft member is the second part 126, the first part 125 and the second part 126 are fixedly connected or integrally formed, and the second part 126 and the third part 127 are rotatably connected, so that the first part 125 and the second part 126 are always docked, and the rotation of the second door body 15 drives the third part 127 and the second part 126 to rotate synchronously. Alternatively, the first part 125 and the second part 126 are rotatably connected, and the second part 126 and the third part 127 are fixedly connected or integrally formed, so that the first part 125 and the second part 126 are always docked, and the rotation of the second door body 15 drives the third part 127 to rotate synchronously.

In some other embodiments, the second refrigeration compartment 13 includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft arranged coaxially, the second door body 15 is rotatably connected to the box body 11 through the first rotating shaft at a side away from the first door body 14, and the second rotating shaft is arranged at a side of the second door body 15 close to the first door body 14. The second rotating shaft is a second part 126, and the two ends of the second part 126 are respectively sleeved outside the third part 127 and the first part 125 or inserted into the third part 127 and the first part 125. Since the two ends of the second part 126 are respectively kept relatively rotating with the first part 125 and the third part 127, the second part 126 can be ensured to be stably docked with the first part 125 and the third part 127, and the two ends of the second part 126 are respectively sleeved outside the third part 127 and the first part 125 or inserted into the third part 127 and the first part 125, ensuring that the ice cubes can smoothly pass through the first part 125, the second part 126 and the third part 127 and reach the ice removal assembly 300. Specifically, the second portion 126 may remain relatively fixed to the box body 11, or the second portion 126 may be rotatably connected to the box body 11, which is not limited here.

Furthermore, the third part 127 includes an ice-moving section 121 and a guide section 122. The ice-moving section 121 is connected to the second part 126. The guide section 122 is connected to the ice-moving section 121 and is bent toward the ice-removing assembly 300. There is a smooth transition between the ice-moving section 121 and the guide section 122. Specifically, the ice-moving section 121 can be arranged in a vertical direction to shorten the distance that the ice cubes rise along the ice-moving section 121. Of course, the ice-moving section 121 can also be extended in a direction that is at a smaller angle to the vertical direction; or, the third part 127 as a whole can be in an arc shape to ensure that the ice cubes can rise stably and be connected to the ice-removing assembly 300.

Specifically, the angle between the guide section 122 and the ice moving section 121 is greater than 90° and less than 180°, so as to prevent the ice cubes from falling back into the ice moving section 121 due to excessive turning angle when entering the guide section 122 from the ice moving section 121, thereby ensuring that the ice cubes can smoothly pass through the ice moving channel 120 and move to the ice taking assembly 300.

<Second Option>:

Please continue to refer to Figures 22 and 23. Figure 22 is a structural diagram of the second solution of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application; Figure 23 is a schematic diagram of the door body cross-sectional structure of the second solution of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application.

The ice removal channel 120 includes a first sub-channel 123 and a second sub-channel 124 which are connected in sequence. The second sub-channel 124 is arranged in the second door body 15, and is partially arranged in the handle 1501. The second sub-channel 124 is connected to the ice removal assembly 300, and the first sub-channel 123 is connected to the ice removal outlet 113 of the ice removal part 110. The ice removal assembly 101 can drive ice cubes to move out of the ice removal part 110 to the ice removal channel 120, and the ice cubes enter the ice removal assembly 300 after passing through the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 in sequence. By combining the handle 1501 with the second sub-channel 124, the handle 1501 is designed to be a hollow channel, and the second sub-channel 124 is arranged in the second door body 15, and is partially arranged in the handle 1501. When the second door body 15 is opened and closed, the handle 1501 can bear the door opening load. When ice cubes need to be taken, the ice cubes can be moved to the ice taking assembly 300 through the second sub-channel 124, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the second sub-channel 124 in the second refrigeration compartment 13 and increasing the volume ratio of the second refrigeration compartment 13.

In some embodiments, the first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a top wall 19, a bottom wall, a back wall 18, and a first side wall 16 and a second side wall 17 connecting the top wall 19 and the bottom wall. The first side wall 16 is arranged near the second portion 126. The top wall 19 and the first side wall 16 of the first refrigeration compartment 12 are surrounded to form an accommodation space. The ice-making assembly 200 can be arranged in the accommodation space, and the ice-making assembly 200 is fixedly arranged on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16. The ice-making assembly 200 is arranged at a position close to the top wall 19, which can be closer to the second refrigeration compartment 13, shorten the height that ice cubes need to rise along the ice moving channel 120, reduce the power required by the ice moving assembly 101, and improve the success rate of ice moving.

The second sub-channel 124 includes an ice-moving section 121, a connecting section 128 and a guide section 122. The ice-moving section 121 is arranged in the handle 1501. The connecting section 128 connects the first sub-channel 123 and the ice-moving section 121. The guide section 122 connects the ice-moving section 121, and the guide section 122 is bent toward the ice-taking assembly 300. The guide section 122 can be higher than the ice-taking assembly 300, which is conducive to ice cubes falling from the guide section 122 into the ice-taking assembly 300 under the action of gravity. The inner walls of the ice-moving section 121, the connecting section 128 and the guide section 122 are smoothly transitioned.

In order to ensure that the ice cubes can smoothly pass through the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 and enter the ice removal assembly 300, the ice cubes form a moving track when moving in the ice moving channel 120, and the angle between the tangent direction at each position of the moving track and the gravity direction is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 180°, so that the ice cubes can smoothly rise along the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124, avoiding falling due to excessive turning angles. Furthermore, the angle between the tangent direction at each position of the moving track and the gravity direction is greater than 135° and less than or equal to 180°, and the path of the ice cubes in the process of rising along the ice moving channel 120 is smoother, less power is required, fewer collisions, less noise, and the overall user experience is improved.

It should be noted that the height of the guide section 122 may be higher than the ice retrieval assembly 300, and the guide section 122 needs to bend downward to connect to the ice retrieval assembly 300. When the ice cube falls along the guide section 122, the angle between its moving direction and the direction of gravity is less than 90°. Therefore, the above-mentioned moving trajectory refers to the upward moving trajectory of the ice cube in the ice moving channel 120, and does not include the moving trajectory of the ice cube when it enters the guide section 122 and falls downward toward the ice retrieval assembly 300.

Under the action of the ice removal assembly 101, ice cubes can quickly pass through the ice removal channel 120, and the time for ice cubes to pass through the ice removal section 121 in the handle 1501 is short. The ambient temperature outside the refrigeration device 10 has almost no effect on the ice cubes, but in some embodiments, the handle 1501 can also be wrapped with a thermal insulation layer. The thermal insulation layer reduces the heat exchange between the inside and outside of the handle 1501, not only to prevent the ambient temperature from being too high and affecting the quality of ice cubes, but also to prevent the handle 1501 from being too low and condensation from forming on the outer surface, further improving the user experience.

Since the ice moving device 100 is usually provided in a refrigeration device 10 with double doors, the handle 1501 is usually located away from the rotation axis of the second door body 15. In order to facilitate the docking of the ice moving part 110 with the second sub-channel 124, the ice moving part 110 can be provided in the first door body 14, and the first sub-channel 123 is also provided in the first door body 14. The ice moving part 110 moves synchronously with the opening and closing of the first door body 14. When the first door body 14 is closed on the cabinet 11, the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 dock. And because the first sub-channel 123 is located in the first door body 14, and the second sub-channel 124 is located in the second door body 15, there is a certain gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. Usually, the gap is small, and ice cubes can directly pass through the gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. In some embodiments, the end of the connecting section 128 close to the first door body 14 protrudes from the second door body 15, and the end of the connecting section 128 close to the first door body 14 is arranged opposite to the first sub-channel 123. The connecting section 128 protruding from the second door body 15 can further reduce the gap between the connecting section 128 and the first sub-channel 123, thereby reducing the loss of cold.

Of course, in some single-door refrigerators, the ice-moving portion 110 may also be arranged in the first refrigerating compartment 12, and the ice-moving portion 110 is arranged on the second side wall 17 of the first refrigerating compartment 12 close to the handle 1501, and the first sub-channel 123 is arranged in the first compartment. A partition layer 102 is arranged between the first refrigerating compartment 12 and the second refrigerating compartment 13. An intermediate channel 129 is arranged in the partition layer 102, which is used to connect the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124. At this time, the second door body 15 will protrude into the second refrigerating compartment 13, so as to facilitate the second sub-channel 124 to be directly connected with the intermediate channel 129.

Furthermore, the ice-moving portion 110 includes a reference plane. The reference plane of the ice-moving portion 110 is parallel to the back wall 18 of the first refrigerating compartment 12. The extended thickness of the ice-moving portion 110 perpendicular to the reference plane is smaller than the extended thickness of the ice-moving portion 110 parallel to the reference plane, so that the ice-moving portion 110 is embedded in the first door body 14 as a whole, reducing the volume of the first refrigerating compartment 12 occupied by the ice-moving portion 110.

In some embodiments, the first door body 14 is rotatably disposed on the housing 11. In other embodiments, the first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a first drawer, the first drawer is push-pull disposed on the housing 11, and the first door body 14 is fixed to the first drawer. When the ice-moving portion 110 is disposed on the first door body 14, as the first door body 14 rotates or pushes and pulls the switch, the ice-moving portion 110 and the first sub-channel 123 move with the first door body 14. At this time, the first sub-channel 123 is staggered with the second sub-channel 124 as the first door body 14 is opened. After the first door body 14 is closed, the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 can be arranged opposite to each other, without affecting the passage of ice cubes.

In addition, the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 of the ice-moving part 110 is separated from the ice-making assembly 200 as the first door 14 is opened. After the first door 14 is closed, the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 and the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200 can be buckled and docked, without affecting the normal operation of the ice-moving part 110. In order to facilitate the docking of the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 and the ice-making assembly 200, the caliber of the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 is larger than the caliber of the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200. When the first door 14 is closed on the box 11, the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 is buckled on the outside of the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200, which facilitates ice cubes to enter the ice-moving and ice-moving inlet 111 through the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200. Among them, the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200 includes the ice-outlet of the ice storage box of the ice-making assembly 200 or the ice-outlet of the conveying channel 150.

<Third Option>:

Please continue to refer to FIG. 24 and FIG. 25 . FIG. 24 is a schematic structural diagram of a third solution of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application; and FIG. 25 is an enlarged schematic structural diagram of part A in FIG. 24 .

The ice moving part 110 is located in the first refrigerating compartment 12. The ice moving channel 120 includes a first sub-channel 123 and a second sub-channel 124 which are connected in sequence. The second sub-channel 124 is arranged in the second door body 15. The first sub-channel 123 is arranged in the first refrigerating compartment 12. The second sub-channel 124 is connected to the ice taking assembly 300, and the first sub-channel 123 is connected to the ice moving outlet 113 of the ice moving part 110. The ice moving assembly 101 can drive ice cubes to move out of the ice moving part 110 to the ice moving channel 120, and the ice cubes enter the ice taking assembly 300 after passing through the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 in sequence.

By arranging the second sub-channel 124 in the second door body 15, the inner space of the second refrigeration chamber 13 is not occupied, the volume ratio of the refrigeration device 10 is improved, and no additional protrusion is added to the appearance of the refrigeration device 10, thereby optimizing the appearance.

In some embodiments, the first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a top wall 19, a bottom wall, a back wall 18, and a first side wall 16 and a second side wall 17 connecting the top wall 19 and the bottom wall. The top wall 19 and the first side wall 16 of the first refrigeration compartment 12 surround and form an accommodation space. The ice-making assembly 200 can be arranged in the accommodation space, and the ice-making assembly 200 is fixedly arranged on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16. The ice-making assembly 200 is arranged at a position close to the top wall 19, which can be closer to the second refrigeration compartment 13, shortening the height that ice cubes need to rise along the ice moving channel 120, reducing the power required by the ice moving assembly 101, and improving the success rate of ice moving.

Since the ice removal part 110 is located in the first refrigeration compartment 12, in order to facilitate the docking of the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124, the box body 11 further includes a spacer layer 102, and the spacer layer 102 is arranged between the first refrigeration compartment 12 and the second refrigeration compartment 13. An intermediate channel 129 is arranged in the spacer layer 102, and the intermediate channel 129 is connected between the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124. At this time, the second door body 15 will protrude into the second refrigeration compartment 13, and the inlet end of the second sub-channel 124 is directly opposite to the outlet end of the intermediate channel 129, which is conducive to the second sub-channel 124 and the intermediate channel 129 facing each other. In the process of opening the second door body 15, the second sub-channel 124 and the intermediate channel 129 are staggered, and when the second door body 15 is closed on the box body 11, the second sub-channel 124 and the intermediate channel 129 are docked. By arranging the first sub-channel 123 in the first refrigerating compartment 12 and docking with the second sub-channel 124 through the middle channel 129, the ice removal channel 120 is entirely located in the first refrigerating compartment 12 and the second refrigerating compartment 13, and the docking is more advantageous.

Specifically, the ice moving portion 110 may be disposed on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16 of the first refrigerating compartment 12 .

Since the ice moving portion 110 is located in the first refrigerating compartment 12, in order not to affect the user's use of the first refrigerating compartment 12, the ice moving portion 110 includes a reference plane, and the reference plane of the ice moving portion 110 is perpendicular to the back wall 18 of the first refrigerating compartment 12. The extended thickness of the ice moving portion 110 perpendicular to the reference plane is less than the extended thickness of the ice moving portion 110 parallel to the reference plane, so that the ice moving portion 110 is arranged to fit the first side wall 16 as a whole, reducing the interference of the ice moving portion 110 on the user's use of the first refrigerating compartment 12.

Specifically, the ice-making assembly 200 is located near the back wall 18 relative to the ice-moving portion 110, and the directions of the ice-moving inlet 111 and the ice-moving outlet 113 are parallel to the reference plane. The ice-moving inlet 111 is arranged toward the ice-making assembly 200, and the ice-moving outlet 113 is arranged toward the second refrigerating chamber 13, and the first sub-channel 123 is vertically connected to the ice-moving outlet 113.

In order to facilitate the docking of the ice moving channel 120 and the ice moving part 110, so that the ice cubes thrown from the ice moving part 110 into the ice moving channel 120 can more easily rise along the ice moving channel 120, the second sub-channel 124 of the ice moving channel 120 is located on the side of the rotation axis of the ice taking assembly 300 close to the second door body 15. At this time, in conjunction with the setting position of the ice moving part 110, the second sub-channel 124 is linearly connected with the first sub-channel 123, which is more conducive to the ice cubes moving from the ice moving channel 120 to the ice taking assembly 300.

Further, please refer to Figure 26, which is another structural schematic diagram of the third scheme of another embodiment of the ice moving device of the present application. The second sub-channel 124 includes an ice moving section 121 and a guide section 122. The ice moving section 121 is connected to the first sub-channel 123. The guide section 122 is connected to the ice moving section 121 and bends toward the ice taking assembly 300. There is a smooth transition between the ice moving section 121 and the guide section 122. Specifically, the ice moving section 121 can be arranged in the vertical direction to shorten the distance that the ice cubes rise along the ice moving section 121. Of course, the ice moving section 121 can also be extended in a direction with a smaller angle to the vertical direction; or, the second sub-channel 124 can be in an arc shape as a whole to ensure that the ice cubes can rise stably and be connected to the ice taking assembly 300.

Specifically, the angle between the guide section 122 and the ice moving section 121 is greater than 90° and less than 180°, so as to prevent the ice cubes from falling back into the ice moving section 121 due to excessive turning angle when entering the guide section 122 from the ice moving section 121, thereby ensuring that the ice cubes can smoothly pass through the ice moving channel 120 and move to the ice taking assembly 300.

<The fourth option>:

Please continue to refer to Figures 27 and 28. Figure 27 is a structural diagram of the fourth solution of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application; Figure 28 is a schematic diagram of the door body cross-sectional structure of the fourth solution of another embodiment of the ice removal device of the present application.

The ice moving part 110 is arranged on the first door body 14. The ice moving channel 120 includes a first sub-channel 123 and a second sub-channel 124 which are connected in sequence. The first sub-channel 123 is arranged on the first door body 14, and the second sub-channel 124 is arranged on the second door body 15. The second sub-channel 124 is connected to the ice taking assembly 300, and the first sub-channel 123 is also connected to the ice moving outlet 113 of the ice moving part 110. The ice moving assembly 101 can drive ice cubes to move out of the ice moving part 110 to the ice moving channel 120, and the ice cubes enter the ice taking assembly 300 after passing through the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124 in sequence.

By arranging the first sub-channel 123 in the first door body 14 and the second sub-channel 124 in the second door body 15, the internal space of the first refrigeration chamber 12 and the second refrigeration chamber 13 is not occupied, the volume ratio of the refrigeration device 10 is improved, and no additional protrusion is added to the appearance of the refrigeration device 10, thereby optimizing the appearance.

In some embodiments, the first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a top wall 19, a bottom wall, a back wall 18, and a first side wall 16 and a second side wall 17 connecting the top wall 19 and the bottom wall. The top wall 19 and the first side wall 16 of the first refrigeration compartment 12 surround and form an accommodation space. The ice-making assembly 200 can be arranged in the accommodation space, and the ice-making assembly 200 is fixedly arranged on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16. The ice-making assembly 200 is arranged at a position close to the top wall 19, which can be closer to the second refrigeration compartment 13, shortening the height that ice cubes need to rise along the ice moving channel 120, reducing the power required by the ice moving assembly 101, and improving the success rate of ice moving.

The ice removal channel 120 also includes an intermediate channel 129, which is disposed in the first door body 14. The intermediate channel 129 is connected between the first sub-channel 123 and the second sub-channel 124. Since the intermediate channel 129 is located in the first door body 14 and the second sub-channel 124 is located in the second door body 15, there is a certain gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. Usually, the gap is small, and ice cubes can directly pass through the gap between the first door body 14 and the second door body 15. In some embodiments, one end of the second sub-channel 124 close to the first door body 14 protrudes from the second door body 15, and one end of the second sub-channel 124 close to the first door body 14 is arranged opposite to the intermediate channel 129. The second sub-channel 124 protruding from the second door body 15 can further reduce the gap between the second sub-channel 124 and the intermediate channel 129, thereby reducing the loss of cold. During the opening of the first door body 14 and/or the second door body 15 , the second sub-channel 124 is staggered with the middle channel 129 . When the first door body 14 and the second door body 15 are closed on the box body 11 , the second sub-channel 124 is docked with the middle channel 129 .

In addition, the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 of the ice-moving part 110 is separated from the ice-making assembly 200 as the first door 14 is opened. After the first door 14 is closed, the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 and the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200 can be buckled and docked, without affecting the normal operation of the ice-moving part 110. In order to facilitate the docking of the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 and the ice-making assembly 200, the caliber of the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 is larger than the caliber of the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200. When the first door 14 is closed on the box 11, the ice-moving and ice-inlet 111 is buckled on the outside of the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200, which facilitates ice cubes to enter the ice-moving and ice-moving inlet 111 through the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200. Among them, the ice-outlet of the ice-making assembly 200 includes the ice-outlet of the ice storage box of the ice-making assembly 200 or the ice-outlet of the conveying channel 150.

In some embodiments, the first door body 14 is rotatably disposed on the box body 11. In other embodiments, the first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a first drawer, the first drawer is push-pull disposed on the box body 11, and the first door body 14 is fixed to the first drawer. When the ice-moving portion 110 is disposed on the first door body 14, as the first door body 14 rotates the switch or pushes and pulls the switch, the ice-moving portion 110 and the ice-moving channel 120 located at the first door body 14 will move with the first door body 14. At this time, the first sub-channel 123 or the middle channel 129 is staggered with the second sub-channel 124 as the first door body 14 is opened. After the first door body 14 is closed, the first sub-channel 123 or the middle channel 129 can be arranged opposite to the second sub-channel 124, which does not affect the passage of ice cubes.

Since the ice-moving part 110 is located in the first door body 14, in order not to affect the user's use of the first refrigerating compartment 12, the ice-moving part 110 includes a reference plane, and the reference plane of the ice-moving part 110 is parallel to the back wall 18 of the first refrigerating compartment 12. The extended thickness of the ice-moving part 110 perpendicular to the reference plane is less than the extended thickness of the ice-moving part 110 parallel to the reference plane, so that the ice-moving part 110 is embedded in the first door body 14 as a whole, reducing the volume of the ice-moving part 110 occupying the first refrigerating compartment 12. Specifically, the ice-making assembly 200 is located near the back wall 18 relative to the ice-moving part 110, the direction of the ice-moving ice inlet 111 is perpendicular to the reference plane, and the direction of the ice-moving ice outlet 113 is parallel to the reference plane. Among them, the ice-moving ice inlet 111 is set toward the ice-making assembly 200, the ice-moving ice outlet 113 is set toward the second refrigerating compartment 13, and the first sub-channel 123 is vertically connected to the ice-moving ice outlet 113.

When the refrigeration device 10 is a refrigeration device 10 with double doors, the second door body 15 includes two second sub-door bodies, the second sub-door bodies are relatively narrow, and the position of the second sub-door body where the ice taking assembly 300 can be set is limited. Since the ice making assembly 200 is located near the first side wall 16, and the ice moving part 110 is located at the first door body 14, in order to facilitate the docking of the ice moving channel 120, so that the ice cubes thrown from the ice moving part 110 into the ice moving channel 120 are easier to rise along the ice moving channel 120, the second sub-channel 124 of the ice moving channel 120 is located on the side of the rotation axis of the ice taking assembly 300 close to the second door body 15. At this time, in conjunction with the setting position of the ice moving part 110, the second sub-channel 124 is linearly connected with the first sub-channel 123, which is more conducive to the ice cubes moving to the ice taking assembly 300 through the ice moving channel 120.

Of course, in some single-door refrigerators, the second door body 15 is a single door body, and the width of the second door body 15 is relatively wide, so there is more space for setting the ice taking assembly 300, and the second sub-channel 124 of the ice moving channel 120 can be selectively set at a side of the ice taking assembly 300 away from or close to the rotation axis of the second door body 15. At this time, in conjunction with the setting position of the ice moving part 110, the second sub-channel 124 is linearly connected with the first sub-channel 123, which is more conducive to ice cubes moving to the ice taking assembly 300 through the ice moving channel 120.

Furthermore, the second sub-channel 124 includes an ice-moving section 121 and a guide section 122. The ice-moving section 121 is connected to the first sub-channel 123. The guide section 122 is connected to the ice-moving section 121 and is bent toward the ice-removing assembly 300. There is a smooth transition between the ice-moving section 121 and the guide section 122. Specifically, the ice-moving section 121 can be arranged in a vertical direction to shorten the distance that the ice cubes rise along the ice-moving section 121. Of course, the ice-moving section 121 can also be extended in a direction that is at a smaller angle to the vertical direction; or, the second sub-channel 124 can be in an arc shape as a whole to ensure that the ice cubes can rise stably and be connected to the ice-removing assembly 300.

Specifically, the angle between the guide section 122 and the ice moving section 121 is greater than 90° and less than 180°, so as to prevent the ice cubes from falling back into the ice moving section 121 due to excessive turning angle when entering the guide section 122 from the ice moving section 121, thereby ensuring that the ice cubes can smoothly pass through the ice moving channel 120 and move to the ice taking assembly 300.

The above embodiments provide four solutions for setting the ice removal channel 120 at different positions of the refrigeration device 10. Of course, the ice removal channel 120 can also be set at other positions of the refrigeration device 10 in coordination with the position of other components such as the box body 11 structure or the ice removal part 110, which is not limited here.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 25 , in order to maintain the temperature of the first refrigeration compartment 12 and avoid the loss of cold, the refrigeration device 10 further includes a sealing assembly 500. The sealing assembly 500 is movably disposed on the first door body 14, and is used to close or open the ice removal channel 120 located in the first refrigeration compartment 12, that is, to close or open the first part 125, the middle channel 129 or the first sub-channel 123. When the ice removal channel 120 needs to be used for ice removal, the sealing assembly 500 movably opens the ice removal channel 120 located in the first refrigeration compartment 12; when the ice removal channel 120 is not used for ice removal, the sealing assembly 500 movably closes the ice removal channel 120 located in the first refrigeration compartment 12. The temperature of the first refrigeration compartment 12 is relatively low. By arranging the sealing assembly 500, the temperature loss of the first refrigeration compartment 12 can be avoided, and the problem of the second refrigeration compartment 13 being affected by the cold and causing the temperature to be too low to affect the quality of the stored items can also be avoided.

In some embodiments, the ice making assembly 200 further includes an ice storage box (not shown in the figure) and an ice pushing mechanism (not shown in the figure) disposed in the ice storage box. The ice pushing mechanism pushes ice cubes from the ice storage box through the ice making outlet of the ice making assembly 200 to the ice moving inlet 111, so as to deliver ice cubes to the ice moving part 110. The ice making assembly 200 may further include an ice making member, which is disposed above the ice storage box, and the ice making member delivers the ice cubes made by the ice making member to the ice storage box.

In order to meet different ice usage requirements of users, as shown in FIG26 , the ice making device further includes an ice crushing assembly 400. The ice crushing assembly 400 is disposed above the ice taking assembly 300 and is used to crush ice cubes. The ice moving channel 120 is connected to the ice taking assembly 300 through the ice crushing assembly 400. The ice crushing assembly 400 can switch between a whole ice mode and a crushed ice mode to meet the ice usage requirements of users for whole ice or crushed ice.
