Refrigerator ice storage box assembly and refrigerator with same

technical field

The utility model relates to the field of refrigerators, in particular to a refrigerator ice storage box assembly and a refrigerator with the refrigerator ice storage box assembly.

Background technique

With the improvement of people's living standards, high-end refrigerators are more and more favored by consumers, and automatic ice machines are an important symbol of current and future high-end refrigerators. High-end refrigerators of well-known brands at home and abroad are equipped with automatic ice machines. Automatic ice maker systems can be installed inside the freezer or on the freezer door, or inside or on the freezer door. The automatic ice machine system includes an ice machine assembly and an ice storage box assembly; the ice machine assembly produces and separates ice cubes, and the ice storage box assembly has an ice crushing device in addition to storing ice cubes. Provide whole ice cubes or crushed ice cubes according to user needs. The ice crushing device of the ice storage box is very important. Its rotation can drive the ice cubes to move towards the ice outlet. The rotation direction is different, and it can also realize the two functions of providing whole ice cubes and crushed ice cubes.

Some existing refrigerator ice storage box assemblies with ice crushing devices, when the ice cubes made by the ice maker are stored in the ice storage box for a long time and the user does not operate the ice maker, the ice storage box will Some of the ice cubes will stick to each other. If you want to take ice at this time, some of the ice cubes will be suspended on the upper part of the skates due to the adhesion. The skates will only idle under the action of the motor, and the ice cubes will not be driven to move. The current solution is to have an ice pushing screw in the ice storage box, and the ice pushing screw and the ice blade are installed on the same rotating shaft, and they will rotate together under the action of the motor, so as to realize the function of pushing the ice cubes to move and then taking ice. However, this method has the following disadvantages. The ice pushing screw needs to rotate coaxially with the ice blades. The ice blades are needed for crushing ice, and a separate ice crushing chamber needs to be isolated, so that the thickness of the ice storage box is increased, and the volume is also increased accordingly. More space inside the refrigerator is created, which reduces the space utilization rate; at the same time, residual ice is likely to be generated in the ice storage room.

Contents of the invention

One purpose of the present utility model is to overcome at least one of the disadvantages of the above-mentioned prior art, and provide an ice storage box assembly of a refrigerator that prevents the ice cubes from being overhead and can be driven to be discharged. The utility model can avoid the increase of the thickness of the ice storage box caused by the arrangement of the ice pushing screw and the isolation of a separate ice crushing chamber, which causes the reduction of the utilization rate of the space of the refrigerator.
