Ice-making assembly and ice-making device

Abstract

Disclosed are an ice-making assembly and an ice-making device. Wherein, the ice-making assembly includes a barrel, a mount, an ice-extruding member, an ice-scraping member and a temperature control member. An ice-making chamber is formed in the barrel. The ice-scraping member is assembled in the ice-making chamber and includes a spindle, a support structure arranged on the spindle, and a receiving cavity extending in an axial direction of the spindle. The ice-scraping member is driven by a driving device to rotate with respect to the barrel. The temperature control member is assembled in the receiving cavity. The mount is assembled at a lower end of the barrel. The ice-extruding member is assembled at an upper end of the barrel. Wherein, a cross-sectional area, perpendicular to an axial direction of the spindle, of the spindle of the ice-scraping member increases gradually in a direction close to the mount.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An ice-making assembly, comprising:
 a barrel ( 1 ), an ice-making chamber ( 11 ) being formed in the barrel ( 1 ), and an upper end of the barrel ( 1 ) functioning as an ice outlet end;   a mount ( 2 ), the mount being assembled at a lower end of the barrel ( 1 );   an ice-scraping member ( 3 ), the ice-scraping member ( 3 ) being assembled in the ice-making chamber ( 11 ) and comprising a spindle ( 31 ), a support structure ( 32 ) arranged on the spindle ( 31 ), and a receiving cavity ( 33 ) extending in an axial direction of the spindle ( 31 ); the ice-scraping member ( 3 ) being driven by a driving device to rotate with respect to the barrel ( 1 );   a temperature control member ( 4 ), the temperature control member ( 4 ) being assembled in the receiving cavity ( 33 ); and   an ice-extruding member ( 6 ), the ice-extruding member ( 6 ) being assembled at the upper end of the barrel ( 1 );   wherein, a cross-sectional area, perpendicular to the axial direction of the spindle ( 31 ), of the spindle ( 31 ) increases gradually in a direction close to the mount ( 2 ); the support structure ( 32 ) is supported on and connected to the mount ( 2 ), and an axial movement of the ice-scraping member ( 3 ) is restrained to prevent an axial force from being applied to the driving device.   
     
     
         2 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 the ice-scraping member ( 3 ) further comprises a sealed shaft ( 34 ); the sealed shaft ( 34 ) is coaxially connected to the spindle ( 31 ), and the support structure ( 32 ) is arranged at a joint between the sealed shaft ( 34 ) and the spindle ( 31 ).   
     
     
         3 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a sealing element ( 5 ), fixed in the ice-making chamber ( 11 ), wherein the sealing element ( 5 ) is disposed around an outer side of the sealed shaft ( 34 ) and connected to the sealed shaft ( 34 ) in a sealing manner; the sealing element ( 5 ) is supported on and connected to a big end ( 30 ) of the spindle ( 31 ).   
     
     
         4 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 a wall of the ice-making chamber ( 11 ) is provided with a spiral refrigerant channel ( 12 );   the refrigerant channel ( 12 ) is sandwiched and surrounds an outer side of the spindle ( 31 ), and the refrigerant channel ( 12 ) is provided with a refrigerant inlet end ( 13 ) and a refrigerant outlet end ( 14 ) which communicate with an outside.   
     
     
         5 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the ice-extruding member ( 6 ) is provided with multiple ice-extruding channels ( 61 ), all the ice-extruding channels ( 61 ) communicate with the ice-making chamber ( 11 ), each of the ice-extruding channels ( 61 ) comprises an ice inlet ( 62 ), all the ice inlets ( 62 ) are distributed in a circumferential direction, and edges of adjacent said ice inlets ( 62 ) are close to each other to reduce ice resistance. 
     
     
         6 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 the ice-scraping member ( 3 ) is provided with a deicing medium channel ( 35 ) communicating with the ice-making chamber ( 11 ).   
     
     
         7 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein the ice-scraping member ( 3 ) further comprises:
 a guide shaft ( 36 ), wherein the guide shaft ( 36 ) is coaxially connected to the sealed shaft ( 34 ) and arranged on a side, opposite to the spindle ( 31 ), of the sealed shaft ( 34 ) to prevent the spindle ( 31 ) from skewing and moving.   
     
     
         8 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 an inner side of a wall of the ice-making chamber ( 11 ) is provided with a spiral groove ( 15 ) which caves into the wall of the ice-making chamber ( 11 ), and the spiral groove ( 15 ) surrounds an outer side of the spindle ( 31 ).   
     
     
         9 . The ice-making assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein,
 the support structure ( 32 ) is configured as a stepped structure.   
     
     
         10 . An ice-making device, comprising:
