Figure 15 is the top view of ice storage box.
With reference to Figure 15, anti-sticking ice portion 330 is arranged on the inner side of the antetheca 311 of ice storage box 300.Anti-sticking ice portion 330 gives prominence to or extends internally from the antetheca 311 of ice storage box 300.
Figure 16 is the longitudinal section of the refrigerating-chamber door of the first embodiment, and Figure 17 is that the rotation of ice machine in Figure 16 is so that the view of the state that ice separates from ice machine.
With reference to Figure 16 and Figure 17, under the state in Icemaker assembly 200 is arranged on icehouse 120, ice storage box 300 is roughly arranged on the below of ice machine 210 vertically.
Particularly, the entrance 301a of the opening 310 of ice storage box 300 is arranged on the low position of comparing with the position of ice machine 210.Thus, in the time that icehouse door 130 is closed icehouse 120, ice storage box 300 is not arranged in the first area A between icehouse door 130 and ice machine 210., ice storage box 300 can be arranged in the second area except the first area between icehouse door 130 and ice machine 210 in the whole region of icehouse 120.
This is because because ice machine 210 overturns by its rotation operation, ice cube I separates from ice machine 210 because of its deadweight, thereby falls in ice storage box 300, and therefore ice storage box 300 is without being arranged in the A of first area., due to the ice cube I separating from ice machine 210 and without first area A, so ice storage box is without being arranged in the A of this first area.
Therefore, because ice storage box 300 is not arranged in the A of first area, so icehouse door 130 can be arranged to more be close to ice machine 210.Can reduce thus the gross thickness of refrigerating-chamber door 11., refrigerating-chamber door 11 can be very slim.
The swingle 212 of ice machine 210 intersects with the rotating shaft 420 that is positioned at ice storage box 300 inside.This is when being parallel to the rotating shaft 420 that is positioned at ice storage box 300 inside when the swingle 212 of ice machine 210 and arranging, and the volume of icehouse 120 increases.
Multiple rotating blades 410 can be arranged in the direction parallel with the bearing of trend of rotating shaft 420 and be spaced apart from each other.Multiple rotating blades 410 can be arranged in the scope of front and back width W of ice machine 210.
Therefore,, when ice machine 210 rotates so that ice cube I while separating from ice machine 210, a part for the ice cube separating from ice machine 210 is directly fallen at least one rotating blade multiple rotating blades 410.That is, the ice cube I separating from ice machine 210 falls because of its deadweight, and at least one in the ice cube I falling directs contact to a few rotating blade 410.
Now, the falling direction of the ice cube I separating from ice machine 210 intersects with the bearing of trend of rotating shaft 420.On the other hand, the falling direction of the ice cube I separating from ice machine 210 is roughly parallel to the virtual surface limiting in the time that multiple rotating blades 410 rotate.
The horizontal range of the swingle 212 from icehouse door 130 to ice machine 210 is greater than the shortest horizontal range from icehouse door 130 to outlet 510.
Hereinafter, by the motion process of ice cube that is described in Icemaker assembly place and produces.
Figure 18 is the front view of trash ice from the state of ice storage box discharge, and Figure 19 is the front view of ice cube from the state of ice storage box discharge.
Describe the ice cube of generation is discharged to outside process with reference to Figure 16 to Figure 18.
For ice cube is separated from ice machine 210, in the time operation signal being input in drive source 220, drive source 220 operates.The power of drive source 220 is delivered to ice machine 210 by transmission case 224, in order to integrally to rotate ice machine 210.
In this embodiment, by the twist operation of ice machine 210, ice cube is separated.In the time that ice machine 210 is carried out twist operation, one end of ice machine 210 and the other end reverse by their relative motion.Therefore, ice cube separates from ice machine 210.Because the principle of the twist operation of ice machine 210 is known, so omit its detailed description.
The ice cube separating from ice machine 210 is fallen ice storage box 300 by the entrance 301a of the opening 310 of ice storage box 300.
As mentioned above, a part of ice cube separating from ice machine 210 may be fallen multiple rotating blades 410, and another part ice cube may be fallen in the first angular guide surfaces 321, and a part of ice cube may be fallen in the second angular guide surfaces 322.
In order to distribute the trash ice of crushing, when row's ice member 400 is in the time that first direction (counter clockwise direction in the time observing in Figure 18) above rotates, the crushing portion 418 of multiple rotating blades 410 is the crushing portion 488 of close fixed blade 480 gradually.
Therefore the ice cube that, is arranged in the space 411 of multiple rotating blades 410 is positioned on fixed blade 480 by the rotation of rotating blade 410.In this embodiment, the ice cube that is arranged in space 411 can be the ice cube of directly falling the ice cube on multiple rotating blades 410 or sliding along the first angular guide surfaces 321.
In this state, in the time that multiple rotating blades 410 rotate in a first direction continuously, be stuck in ice cube between the crushing portion 418 of rotating blade 410 and the crushing portion 488 of fixed blade 480 crushed.The trash ice crushing falls and is discharged to outside to the direction of outlet 510.
In the process of discharge trash ice, because opening/closing member 600 remains on closed condition, so can prevent that the ice cube being positioned in the second angular guide surfaces 322 is discharged from.
In the process of discharge ice cube, when row's ice member 400 is in the time that second direction (clockwise direction in the time observing in Figure 18) is above rotated, the ice cube that is arranged in the space 411 of multiple rotating blades 410 moves to the direction of opening/closing member 600 by the rotation of rotating blade 410.
The ice cube that is arranged in the space 411 of multiple rotating blades 410 can be the ice cube of directly falling the ice cube on multiple rotating blades 410 or sliding along the second angular guide surfaces 322.

Therefore, opening/closing member 600 is rotated down (counter clockwise direction in the time observing in Figure 19) by the pressure of ice cube and rotating blade 410.Thus, restriceted envelope between the end of extension 413 of each rotating blade 410 and the end of opening/closing member 600.Then ice cube moves in this space, and final ice cube is discharged to outside.
In the time that the rotation of row's ice member 400 stops, because the pressure that is applied to opening/closing member 600 is removed, so make opening/closing member 600 return to its initial position by the elastic force of elastic component 640.
The motion overview of the ice cube in ice storage box 300 is as follows.In the time that multiple rotating blades 410 rotate, the ice cube of falling on multiple rotating blades 410 moves down.
In the time that multiple rotating blades 410 rotate in a first direction, fall ice cube in the first angular guide surfaces 321 and move in space 411 because of its deadweight.In the time that multiple rotating blades 410 rotate, the ice cube in space 411 moves down.
In addition,, in the time that multiple rotating blades 410 are in second direction rotation, fall ice cube in the second angular guide surfaces 322 and move in space 411 because of its deadweight.In the time that multiple rotating blades 410 rotate, the ice cube in space 411 moves down.
Substantially,, under the state stopping in the operation of multiple rotating blades 410, the ice cube being positioned on each inclined- plane 321 and 322 does not move.
Thus, according to this embodiment, the ice cube of storage can be discharged to outside by the rotation operation of multiple rotating blades 410, and does not need the extra delivery unit in ice storage box 300.
In addition, the mutual motion between ice cube, the ice cube in ice storage box 300 only moves to bottom from top, moves to outlet 510 from the entrance 301a of ice storage box 300.
