The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art as appropriate.

A refrigerator according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a cabinet and an ice maker 10.

Wherein, an ice making chamber and a refrigerating air duct communicated with the ice making chamber are limited in the box body, and the refrigerating air duct provides cold air required by ice making for the ice making chamber. The ice maker is arranged in the ice making chamber. The ice-making chamber may take various forms, for example, when the ice-making machine is provided directly in the freezer compartment, that is, the ice-making chamber. Alternatively, a separate compartment may be partitioned by a heat insulating plate material in the freezing compartment or the refrigerating compartment as an ice making chamber.

Referring to fig. 1-2, an ice maker 10 includes a base 100, an ice making motor 200, an ice bank 300, and an ice bank 400.

The base 100 is fixed in the ice making chamber, and the ice making motor 200 and the ice cube tray 300 are fixed in the ice making chamber through the base 100. A water injection port 110 is provided at a position corresponding to the ice cube tray 300 on the base 100, and an external water pipe injects water into the ice cube tray 300 through the water injection port 110. The ice bank 400 is disposed at a predetermined height below the ice-making housing 300. The ice making motor 200 is used to drive the ice making cells 300 to twist and de-ice and turn the ice into the ice bank 400.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, the ice cube tray 300 has at least a first ice making chamber 310 and a second ice making chamber 320. The inner wall of the first ice making chamber 310 is provided with the dividing ribs 311, and the inner wall of the second ice making chamber 320 is not provided with the dividing ribs 311.

With the above arrangement, the second ice making chamber 320 can make complete ice cubes, and the first ice making chamber 310 can make ice cubes having grooves due to the dividing ribs 311. When the ice is turned over, the ice cubes fall into the ice bank 400, and the ice cubes having the grooves are broken into crushed ice by gravity, thereby achieving that complete ice cubes as well as crushed ice can be simultaneously manufactured in one ice maker.

The ice making grid of the ice maker arranged in the refrigerator provided by the application is provided with at least two different ice making cavities, one of the ice making cavities is not provided with any structure inside and can be used for making complete ice cubes, the other ice making cavity is provided with the dividing ribs 311 inside and can be used for making ice cubes with grooves, and the ice cubes can be automatically cracked into crushed ice under the action of gravity when the ice cubes are turned over, so that the ice cubes with at least two sizes can be made in one ice maker simultaneously, and the requirements of users can be met.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the first ice making cavity 310 and the second ice making cavity 320 are respectively located at both sides of a boundary 313 with an axis perpendicular to a twisting axis 312 of the ice cube tray 300 as the boundary 313, and preferably a central axis as the boundary 313.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3-4, a partition 410 is provided in the ice bank 400 to partition the ice bank 400 into a first box cavity 411 and a second box cavity 412. The partition 410 is positioned corresponding to the dividing line 313 so that the ice cubes in the first ice making chamber 310 fall into the first box chamber 411 and the ice cubes in the second ice making chamber 320 fall into the second box chamber 412, thereby facilitating the user to separately take the whole ice cubes and the crushed ice.

As for the arrangement of the dividing ribs 311, there may be various forms, for example, the dividing ribs 311 may be provided at the bottom wall of the first ice-making chamber 310, or the dividing ribs 311 may be provided at the side walls of the first ice-making chamber 310 (as shown in fig. 3 to 5), or the dividing ribs 311 may be provided at both the bottom wall and the side walls of the first ice-making chamber 310.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5-6, first ice-making chamber 310 may have a frustum shape with a large top and a small bottom.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 to 6, when the dividing ribs 311 are provided on the sidewalls of the first ice-making chamber 310, four dividing ribs 311 may be provided, each being located on the central axis of the four sidewalls of the first ice-making chamber 310.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 to 6, the bottom end of the dividing rib 311 is disposed on the bottom wall of the first ice-making chamber 310, and the ratio of the height of the dividing rib 311 to the height of the side wall of the first ice-making chamber 310 is 0.3 to 0.9, preferably 0.75.

The provision of the dividing ribs 311 as described above can better form grooves that facilitate the breaking of ice pieces when dropped.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5 to 6, communication grooves are formed between the first ice making chamber 310 and the first ice making chamber 310, between the second ice making chamber 320 and the second ice making chamber 320, and between the first ice making chamber 310 and the second ice making chamber 320, so that water filled in the ice making cells 300 can circulate in the ice making chambers, so that the water levels in the ice making chambers tend to be consistent, and the difference in the upper shapes of the ice cubes is small.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
