As shown in fig. 1-4, an embodiment of the present invention is described. The invention discloses a refrigerator which comprises a door body 2 and a refrigerator body, wherein an accommodating space 3 is arranged on the door body 2, and an ice making device 1 of the door body is arranged in the accommodating space 3. The containing space 3 is a square space and is enclosed by four side walls, an upper side wall, a lower side wall, a left side wall, a right side wall and a rear wall, and each part of the door body ice making device 1 is installed in the containing space 3 from an opening of the containing space 3. The door body 2 is further provided with a sealing cover 4 covering the accommodating space 3. The sealing cover 4 is rotatably connected to the door body 2.

In the present embodiment, the door ice-making device 1 includes an ice maker 100, an ice discharging unit 200 disposed below the ice maker 100, and a motor 300 for driving the ice discharging unit 200 to operate. The motor 300 is installed in the accommodating space 3 through a vertical rotating shaft 310, and the motor 300 can rotate around the vertical rotating shaft 310.

The motor 300 is installed at one side of the ice discharging assembly 200, and a toggle part 230 is disposed at one side of the ice discharging assembly 200 close to the motor. The direction from the inner side to the outer side of the door body 2 is defined as a first direction, and when the ice discharging assembly 200 is installed in the accommodating space 3 along the first direction, the toggle part 230 abuts against the motor 300 and drives the motor 300 to rotate around the vertical rotating shaft 310, so that the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in transmission connection with the ice discharging assembly 200.

According to the door ice-making device 1 provided by the invention, the toggle part 230 on the ice outlet assembly 200 drives the motor 300 to rotate around the vertical rotating shaft 310, so that the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in transmission connection with the ice outlet assembly 200 after the ice outlet assembly 200 is installed, and the problem that the output shaft 320 and the ice outlet assembly 200 interfere with each other when the motor 300 is directly installed on the side surface of the ice outlet assembly 200 is solved. Accordingly, the motor 300 can be smoothly installed at one side of the ice discharge assembly 200, the front and rear size of the door ice-making device 1 is reduced, and the thickness of the entire door 2 is reduced.

Further, the ice discharging assembly 200 includes an ice bank 210 disposed below the ice maker 100 and an ice crusher 220 disposed below the ice bank 210. The ice bank 210 is fixedly connected with the ice crusher 220. The motor 300 is used for driving the ice crusher 220 to work. That is, before being installed in the accommodating space 3, the ice bank 210 is connected to the ice crusher 220 and then installed into the accommodating space 3. When the ice discharging assembly 200 is completely installed in the accommodating space 3, the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in transmission connection with the ice crusher 220 to drive the ice crusher 220 to work.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the ice maker 100 is installed above the accommodating space 3 to facilitate water injection. The ice bank 210 is installed below the ice maker 100 to facilitate storage of ice cubes made by the ice maker 100. And the ice crusher 220 is installed under the ice bank 210, and both communicate. When ice needs to be broken, the ice in the ice bank 210 may fall into the ice crusher 220. The motor 300 is installed at the left side of the accommodating space 3, and the upper and lower ends of the vertical rotating shaft 310 are respectively fixedly connected with the side wall of the accommodating space. And the motor 300 can rotate about the vertical rotation shaft 310.

Preferably, the toggle part 230 is provided at a side of the ice bank 210 adjacent to the motor 300. Specifically, the toggle part 230 may be a rod or a block protruding from the sidewall of the ice bank 210, and when the ice discharging assembly 200 is installed into the accommodating space 3, the toggle part 230 abuts against the upper portion of the motor 300 and drives the motor 300 to rotate until the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in transmission connection with the ice crusher 220.

In another embodiment, the toggle part can be further arranged on one side of the ice crusher close to the motor. The poking part is arranged on the ice crusher, and the motor can be driven to rotate around the vertical rotating shaft.

Further, a transmission connection portion 221 is disposed on the ice crusher 220, and the output shaft 320 may be in transmission connection with the transmission connection portion 221. Specifically, after the ice crusher 220 is installed in the accommodating space 3, the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 also rotates to a position connected to the transmission connecting portion 221, and at this time, the output shaft 320 can be in transmission connection with the transmission connecting portion 221, so that when the motor 300 is started, the output shaft 320 drives the transmission connecting portion 221 to rotate synchronously. Of course, as shown in fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the ice discharging assembly is installed, the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in contact with the transmission connection portion 221, and when the motor 300 is started, the motor 300 is rotated to be in transmission connection with the transmission connection portion 221 and to drive the transmission connection portion to rotate synchronously. Thus, only the output shaft 320 contacts with the transmission connecting part 221, and the output shaft and the transmission connecting part do not need to be in transmission connection without difference after contacting, so that the installation is easier. When the motor is started, the two can be connected in transmission naturally.

Preferably, a movable ice blade (not shown) is disposed in the ice crusher 220, the transmission connecting portion 221 is in transmission connection with the movable ice blade, and when the motor 300 rotates, the output shaft 320 drives the transmission connecting portion 221 and the ice blade to rotate, so as to realize an ice crushing function.

In the present embodiment, the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in interference fit with the transmission connection part 221 of the ice crusher 220. Specifically, a disc 321 is arranged on the output shaft 320 of the motor 300, a groove 3211 is formed in the disc 321, the groove 3211 includes two opposite groove sidewalls 3212 and two opposite side openings 3213, and ends of the groove sidewalls 3212 are respectively connected to one of the side openings 3213. The drive connection 221 of the ice crusher 220 includes two side plates 2211, and the distance between the two side plates 2211 is greater than the distance between the two groove side walls 3212. When the toggle portion 230 drives the motor 300 to rotate, the groove 3211 and the two side plates 2211 gradually approach each other. The two side plates 2211 are disposed opposite to each other in the vertical direction. Finally, after the ice discharging assembly is installed in the accommodating space 3, the two side plates 2211 are located in the grooves 3211 and aligned with the side openings 3213 of the grooves 3211. When the output shaft 320 is started, the disc 321 rotates and the two side plates 2211 are respectively clamped inside the two groove side walls 3212, at this time, the output shaft 320 is connected with the transmission connecting portion 221 through interference fit, and when the output shaft 320 continues to rotate, the transmission connecting portion 221 is driven to synchronously rotate. To this end, the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in driving connection with the ice crusher 220.

Further, the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is further provided with a spring 322, and the spring 322 is arranged between the output shaft 320 and the disc 321, when the disc 321 is aligned with the transmission connecting part 221, because the spring 322 can press the disc away from the transmission connecting part 221, so that the disc and the transmission connecting part are more easily aligned.

In further embodiments, the output shaft of the motor may also be snap-fit to a drive connection of the ice crusher. The output shaft can also be connected with the transmission connecting part through a snap connection.

Preferably, a first bracket 330 fixedly connected with the door body 2 is arranged above the motor 300, and the upper end of the vertical rotating shaft 310 is fixedly connected with the first bracket 330. That is, the vertical rotation shaft 310 is fixed to the door body 2 by the first bracket 330. Specifically, the first bracket 330 is fixed to one of the sidewalls of the accommodating space 3.

The following describes the installation process of the door ice maker in detail. As shown in fig. 2 to 4, when mounting, the ice maker 100 is first mounted above the accommodating space 3 (not shown), and then the motor 300 is mounted at the left side of the accommodating space 3, where the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 faces the opening of the accommodating space 3. Since the ice bank 210 and the ice crusher 220 are externally mounted to each other, the entire ice discharging assembly 200 can be mounted into the accommodating space 3 along the first direction. At this time, the toggle portion 230 abuts against the motor 300 and drives the motor 300 to rotate around the vertical rotating shaft 310, the groove 321 on the output shaft and the two side plates 2211 on the transmission connecting portion gradually approach each other, and finally the two side plates 2211 are located in the groove 321 and aligned to the side opening 3213 of the groove. When the output shaft 320 is started, the disc 321 rotates and the two side plates 2211 are respectively clamped inside the two groove side walls 3212, at this time, the output shaft 320 is connected with the transmission connecting portion 222 through interference fit, and when the output shaft 320 continues to rotate, the transmission connecting portion 221 is driven to rotate synchronously. To this end, the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in driving connection with the ice crusher 220.

According to the door ice making device 1 provided by the invention, the toggle part 230 on the ice outlet assembly 200 drives the motor 300 to rotate around the vertical rotating shaft 310, so that the output shaft 320 of the motor 300 is in transmission connection with the ice crusher 220 after the ice crusher 220 is installed, and the problem that the output shaft 320 interferes with the ice crusher 220 when the motor 300 is directly installed on the side surface of the ice crusher 220 is solved. Accordingly, the motor 300 can be smoothly installed at one side of the ice crusher 220, the front and rear size of the door ice making device 1 is reduced, and the thickness of the whole door 2 is reduced. The toggle part 230 may be provided on the ice bank 210 or the ice crusher 220.
