An ice moving device 100 is provided in one embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a side structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ice moving device and ice making assembly provided by the present application, and Figure 2 is an overall structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ice moving device provided by the present application, wherein the first direction X shown in the figure is the direction of rotation of the main rotating member 130. The ice moving device 100 is used to be arranged in a refrigeration device 10 (see Figure 4). The ice moving device 100 includes an ice moving portion 110 and an ice filtering portion 114. An ice moving inlet 111 and an ice moving cavity 112 that are interconnected are formed in the ice moving portion 110. A conveying channel 150 and an ice filtering port 152 that are interconnected are formed in the ice filtering portion 114. The conveying channel 150 is connected to the ice moving cavity 112 through the ice moving inlet 111, and the ice filtering port 152 is located between the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 and the ice moving inlet 111.

The ice filter port 152 is provided with a filter assembly 153. The filter assembly 153 is connected to the conveying channel 150 through the ice filter port 152. The filter assembly 153 is used to filter the crushed ice 119 entering the ice filter portion 114 to prevent the crushed ice 119 from entering the ice moving chamber 112. The ice filter port 152 is opened at the bottom of the ice filter portion 114, which is conducive to the ice cubes 118 falling into the filter assembly 153 from the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 under the action of gravity, so as to filter out the crushed ice 119 mixed in the ice cubes 118, and prevent the crushed ice 119 from adhering to the pipeline and melting into water after continuing to move forward, further preventing pollution to the pipeline and ensuring the cleanliness of the pipeline.

The filter assembly 153 includes a filter body 1531, a vibration motor 1532 and an ice crushing box 1533. The filter body 1531 is at least partially disposed at the ice filter port 152. The portion of the filter body 1531 disposed at the ice filter port 152 may be a fence-type screen, or a screen hole may be directly provided. The vibration motor 1532 is disposed at the filter body 1531. The vibration motor 1532 is used to drive the filter body 1531 to vibrate. The ice crushing box 1533 is disposed at a side of the filter body 1531 that is away from the ice filter port 152. The ice crushing box 1533 is connected to the conveying channel 150 through the filter body 1531. Since the ice filter port 152 is provided at the bottom of the ice filter portion 114, it can be understood that the ice crushing box 1533 is disposed below the filter body 1531, which is conducive to the crushed ice 119 falling into the ice crushing box 1533 under the action of gravity and the driving action of the vibration motor 1532.

In some embodiments, the crushed ice box 1533 is detachably arranged on the side of the filter body 1531 facing away from the ice filter port 152. When the crushed ice 119 in the crushed ice box 1533 reaches a certain amount, the crushed ice box 1533 can be taken out, and the crushed ice box 1533 can be arranged on the filter body 1531 after the crushed ice 119 is cleaned. The body of the crushed ice box 1533 can be colorless and transparent, so that the collection degree of the crushed ice 119 in the crushed ice box 1533 can be observed, so as to avoid the failure of the filter assembly 153 to filter after the crushed ice box 1533 is full of crushed ice 119.

There is no limitation on the manner in which the crushed ice box 1533 is detachably arranged on the filter body 1531. For example, the filter body 1531 is provided with a slide groove (not shown in the figure), and the crushed ice box 1533 is provided with a slide rail (not shown in the figure) compatible with the slide groove of the filter body 1531. The slide rail of the crushed ice box 1533 can be inserted into the slide groove along the length direction of the slide groove of the filter body 1531, and can slide in the slide groove of the filter body 1531 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction, thereby disconnecting from the filter body 1531, and processing the crushed ice 119 in the crushed ice box 1533 in time.

The filter body 1531 includes a filter part 1531a and a transmission part 1531b. The filter part 1531a and the transmission part 1531b are fixedly connected or integrally formed. Among them, the filter part 1531a is arranged at the ice filter port 152, and the transmission part 1531b is arranged at one side of the filter part 1531a. The vibration motor 1532 can be vibratedly arranged at the transmission part 1531b. The vibration motor 1532 can drive the transmission part 1531b to vibrate, thereby driving the filter part 1531a to vibrate. The crushed ice 119 entering the ice filter part 114 from the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 will fall into the crushed ice box 1533 under the action of gravity and the vibration of the vibration motor 1532, and the ice cubes 118 will move along the conveying channel 150 to the ice moving chamber 112 under the driving action of the vibration motor 1532. The ice cubes 118 entering the ice transfer chamber 112 after filtering are larger in volume, will not adhere to the pipeline during transportation, and are not easy to melt, thereby improving the cleanliness of the pipeline.

In some embodiments, the plane where the filter portion 1531a is located is parallel to the central axis of the ice transfer and ice inlet 111. The plane where the filter portion 1531a is located coincides with the plane where the transmission portion 1531b is located. The position of the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 is higher than the ice filter inlet 152, which is conducive to filtering the crushed ice 119 entering the ice filter portion 114 from the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150 under the action of gravity.

In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of another embodiment of the ice moving device provided by the present application. An angle is formed between the plane where the filter portion 1531a is located and the central axis of the ice moving inlet 111. An angle is formed between the plane where the filter portion 1531a is located and the plane where the transmission portion 1531b is located. The high part of the filter portion 1531a is close to the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150, and the low part of the filter portion 1531a abuts the bottom of the ice moving inlet 111, that is, the filter portion 1531a is inclined relative to the vertical direction of the plane where the ice moving inlet 111 is located, so as to facilitate filtering of the crushed ice 119, and the inclined surface of the filter portion 1531a is facing the ice moving inlet 111, so as to facilitate the ice cubes 118 to enter the ice moving chamber 112. The setting of the filter part 1531a improves the ice filtering effect. In some cases, the setting of the vibration motor 1532 can be cancelled to reduce energy consumption. Of course, the vibration motor 1532 can also be retained to further improve the ice filtering effect and increase the forward power of the ice cubes 118, thereby improving the ice output efficiency. Whether to set the vibration motor 1532 can be selected according to the actual implementation conditions, and no specific restrictions are made here.

The filter 1531a has sieve holes. The crushed ice box 1533 is connected to the conveying channel 150 through the sieve holes and the ice filter port 152. The number of sieve holes can be selected according to specific implementation conditions and is not specifically limited. The size of the sieve holes is 0.05-0.4 times the size of the ice cube 118, such as 0.05 times, 0.07 times, 0.09 times, 0.1 times, 0.13 times, 0.14 times, 0.16 times, 0.18 times, 0.2 times, 0.24 times, 0.27 times, 0.29 times, 0.3 times, 0.33 times, 0.36 times, 0.38 times or 0.4 times. The size of the sieve holes is at least larger than the size of the crushed ice 119, so as to prevent the crushed ice 119 from falling into the crushed ice box 1533 or clogging the sieve holes. By opening sieve holes on the filter part 1531a, the crushed ice box 1533 is connected to the conveying channel 150 through the sieve holes and the ice filter port 152, so that the crushed ice 119 that is easy to adhere to the pipeline and melt easily falls into the crushed ice box 1533, ensuring the cleanliness of the pipeline.

The conveying channel 150, the ice-moving inlet 111, the ice-moving chamber 112 and the ice-moving outlet 113 are connected in sequence. The ice-moving device 100 also includes an ice-moving channel 120. The ice-inlet end of the conveying channel 150 can be connected to the ice-making assembly 200. The ice-making assembly 200 is used to make ice cubes 118. The ice-moving channel 120 is connected to the ice-moving chamber 112 through the ice-moving outlet 113. The ice-moving channel 120 is used to connect the ice-moving chamber 112 and the ice-taking assembly 300. Since the crushed ice 119 has been filtered out in the ice filter 114, no crushed ice 119 will adhere to the ice-moving channel 120, thereby improving the cleanliness of the ice-moving channel 120.

Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a partial structural diagram of an embodiment of the refrigeration device provided in the present application. The refrigeration device 10 includes a housing 11. The housing 11 is formed with a first refrigeration compartment 12 and a second refrigeration compartment 13. In the present application, the ice filter portion 114 of the ice moving device 100 can be arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12, the ice moving portion 110 of the ice moving device 100 can also be arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12, the ice taking assembly 300 is located in the second refrigeration compartment 13 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 freezing compartment, and the second refrigeration compartment 13 is a refrigeration compartment.

A refrigeration device 10 using the ice moving device 100 of the present application. The ice making assembly 200 can be arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and the ice taking assembly 300 can be arranged in the second refrigeration compartment 13. The ice moving device 100 can quickly transport the ice cubes 118 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 118 to the ice taking assembly 300 in the second refrigeration compartment 13 located above, which can facilitate users to take ice and improve user experience. In addition, the ice making assembly 200 is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and can share a 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 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 ice outlet end of the ice making assembly 200 is docked with the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150. The ice cubes 118 enter the ice filter 114 from the ice inlet end of the conveying channel 150, and enter the ice moving chamber 112 after being filtered. The main rotating member 130 drives the ice cubes 118 to rotate so that the ice cubes 118 quickly move to the ice taking assembly 300 after obtaining the initial velocity. The ice cubes 118 directly move from the first refrigerating chamber 12 to the ice taking assembly 300 of the second refrigerating chamber 13. The ice cubes 118 move quickly, not only the ice taking efficiency is high, but also there is no need to set an evaporator in the second refrigerating chamber 13 for keeping the ice cubes 118 cold, which further improves the volume ratio of the second refrigerating chamber 13.

The ice moving device 100 of the present application not only improves the ice taking efficiency and solves the technical problem of low pipe cleanliness of the ice moving device 100, but also solves the problem of inconvenience in ice taking by users and the space occupation of the second refrigeration compartment 13.

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 block 118 moves in the ice-moving section 121, the ice block 118 rises a sufficient distance along the ice-moving section 121; the guide section 122 is used to turn to connect to the ice-taking assembly 300. When the ice block 118 moves to the guide section 122, the ice block 118 has risen a sufficient distance. The guide section 122 is used to change the moving direction of the ice block 118 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 118 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 118 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 cube 118 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 cube 118 can smoothly pass through the ice-moving channel 120 and move to the ice-taking assembly 300.

The ice removal device 100 further includes a main rotating member 130. The main rotating member 130 is rotatably disposed in the ice removal chamber 112. The ice removal inlet 111 and the ice removal outlet 113 are located at 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 118 filtered by the filter assembly 153 and throw them out from the ice removal outlet 113 to the ice removal channel 120.

Since the crushed ice 119 has been filtered out by the ice filter 114, the ice cubes 118 entering the ice moving chamber 112 after filtering are relatively large in volume and difficult to melt. Therefore, the problem of the main rotating part 130 sticking to the inner wall of the ice moving chamber 112 due to the ice cubes 118 melting in the ice moving chamber 112 and then condensing again in a low temperature environment will not occur.

The main rotating member 130 carries the ice cubes 118 and rotates along the first direction X, and throws the ice cubes 118 toward the ice removal outlet 113. The ice cubes 118 have a certain initial velocity, and move from the ice removal outlet 113 to the ice removal channel 120, and finally move along the ice removal channel 120 to the ice removal assembly 300. Since the main rotating member 130 can rotate continuously at a certain speed, the ice cubes 118 entering the ice removal chamber 112 from the ice filter 114 can be continuously and quickly ejected to the ice removal assembly 300. The ice cubes 118 move quickly, the ice removal efficiency is high, and the ice removal is realized quickly and continuously. The user has a short waiting time for ice removal, and the ice cubes 118 are not easy to melt. The ice cubes 118 are of high quality, and the ice cubes 118 are not easy to melt and stick together.

The main rotating member 130 includes a main shaft 131 and a flexible member 132 disposed on the periphery of the main shaft 131. Please refer to Figure 5, which is a partial structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ice moving device provided by the present application. The flexible member 132 facilitates the ice cube 118 to be inserted and carries the ice cube 118 to rotate. 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 on the outside of the ice moving chamber 112, and the output end of the driving member passes through the side wall of the ice moving part 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 the ice cubes 118 are block-shaped objects, when the main rotating member 130 rotates at a high speed, the ice cubes 118 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 FIG5 , 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 118, 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 cube 118 is 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 cube 118 from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , FIG6 is a partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device provided by the present application. The flexible member 132 includes a first flexible member 1323 and a second flexible member 1324 spaced apart along the 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 cube 118 enters the ice moving chamber 112 through the ice moving inlet 111 and easily squeezes the second flexible member 1324 to deform it, thereby being brought into the main rotating member 130, and the first flexible member 1323 with higher hardness carries the ice cube 118 to rotate, thereby improving the ice moving efficiency of the ice moving device 100 and preventing the ice cube 118 from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

The above solution optimizes the structure of the flexible member 132 so that the ice cube 118 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 the ice cube 118 to be inserted into the main rotating member 130 and avoid ice cube 118 from being blocked in the ice transfer inlet 111:

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG7 , FIG7 is a partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device provided in 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, the ice cubes 118 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 the ice cubes 118 from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , FIG8 is a partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the ice-moving device provided by the present application. The ice-moving portion 110 also includes a guide cavity 117 and an auxiliary rotating member 140. The guide cavity 117 is in communication with the ice-moving cavity 112. The ice-moving inlet 111 is located between the guide cavity 117 and the ice-moving cavity 112. The auxiliary rotating member 140 is rotatably disposed in the guide cavity 117. The auxiliary 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 auxiliary rotating member 140 and the main rotating member 130 is smaller than the size of the ice cube 118. Since the rotation direction of the auxiliary rotating member 140 is opposite to that of the main rotating member 130, and the ice-moving inlet 111 is located between the main rotating member 130 and the auxiliary rotating member 140, the ice cubes 118 can be 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 118 from being blocked at the ice-moving inlet 111. Among them, the radius of the auxiliary rotating member 140 is smaller than the radius of the main rotating member 130, which reduces the volume occupied by the ice-moving device 100 and makes it easier for the ice cubes 118 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, driving the ice cubes 118 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 FIG9 , FIG9 is a partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the ice moving device provided by the present application. The ice moving device 100 also includes a transmission rotating member 151. The transmission rotating member 151 is rotatably disposed in the conveying channel 150, and the transmission rotating member 151 is located on the side of the ice filter portion 114 facing the ice moving chamber 112. 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 118 enter the ice moving chamber 112 after obtaining a certain speed through the transmission rotating member 151 in the conveying channel 150. The ice cubes 118 that have obtained a certain speed are more likely to get stuck in the high-speed rotating main rotating member 130, thereby preventing the ice cubes 118 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 ice cubes 118 from being blocked 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 ice cubes 118 from being blocked at the ice moving inlet 111.

Another embodiment of the present application provides a refrigeration device 10. Please continue to refer to Figure 4, and refer to Figures 10 to 11 at the same time. Figure 10 is a partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the refrigeration device provided by the present application, and Figure 11 is an overall structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the refrigeration device provided by the present application. The refrigeration device 10 includes a box body 11, an ice-making assembly 200, an ice-taking assembly 300, an ice-moving device 100 and a sensor 172. The box body 11 is formed with a first refrigeration compartment 12 and a second refrigeration compartment 13. The first refrigeration compartment 12 includes a first door body 14. The second refrigeration compartment 13 is located above the first refrigeration compartment 12. The second refrigeration compartment 13 includes a second door body 15 rotatably arranged on the box body 11. The ice-making assembly 200 is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12. The ice-taking assembly 300 is arranged on the second door body 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 arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12. The ice transfer passage 120 extends from the first refrigeration compartment 12 to the second refrigeration compartment 13. The ice transfer portion 110 is communicated with the ice making assembly 200, and the ice transfer assembly 101 is arranged at the ice transfer portion 110 to drive the ice cubes 118 from the ice transfer portion 110 to move to the ice taking assembly 300 through the ice transfer passage 120. The sensor 172 is arranged at the ice outlet end of the ice transfer passage 120. The sensor 172 is used to sense the passage of ice cubes. When the sensor 172 senses that ice cubes have passed, it means that ice cubes have successfully passed through the ice transfer passage 120 and moved to the ice taking assembly 300. Among them, the first refrigeration compartment 12 is a freezing compartment, and the second refrigeration compartment 13 is a refrigerating compartment.

The ice cubes 118 in the first refrigeration compartment 12 can be transported to the ice taking assembly 300 in the second refrigeration compartment 13 located above by the ice moving device 100, so that it is convenient for users to take ice and improve user experience. In addition, the ice making assembly 200 is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment 12, and can share a cold source with the first refrigeration compartment 12. There is no need to separately arrange an evaporator required for ice making because the ice making assembly 200 is arranged in the second refrigeration compartment 13, which saves costs and space occupied in the second refrigeration compartment 13, and improves the volume ratio of the second refrigeration compartment 13. The refrigeration device 10 of the present application not only improves the efficiency of taking ice, but also solves the problem of inconvenience for users to take ice and space occupation in 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 method 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 118 to avoid the ice cubes 118 from getting stuck during transportation.

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 the ice cubes 118 to move out of the ice removal unit 110 to the ice removal channel 120, and the ice cubes 118 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 docked, and the pipeline sealing of the third part 127 and the second part 126 is good, avoiding condensation problems caused by poor docking 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 passage of the ice cube 118.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG12, FIG12 is a partial structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the refrigeration device provided by the present application. The first refrigeration chamber 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 ice-moving portion 110 is located on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16 of the first refrigeration chamber 12. Specifically, the top wall 19 and the first side wall 16 of the first refrigeration chamber 12 are surrounded to form an accommodating space, and the ice-moving portion 110 is located in the accommodating space and can be fixedly arranged on the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16. Similarly, the ice-making assembly 200 can also be arranged in the accommodating space, and the ice-making assembly 200 is fixed to the top wall 19 or the first side wall 16. The ice making assembly 200 is arranged near the top wall 19, so as to be closer to the second refrigerating chamber 13, shorten the height that the ice cubes 118 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.

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. 4 , 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 condensation problem 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 118 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 in relative rotation with the first part 125 and the third part 127, the stable docking of the second part 126 with the first part 125 and the third part 127 can be ensured, 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 118 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 118 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 118 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 cube 118 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 cube 118 can smoothly pass through the ice moving channel 120 and move to the ice taking assembly 300.
