  • Patent number: 11566832
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ice shaver including a refrigerator, a moving mechanism, a driving device, a knife assembly and a pushing member. The refrigerator includes a bearer including an ice dropping channel and a door assembly, and the knife assembly is located between the pushing member and the door assembly. The driving device drives the moving mechanism so that the moving mechanism drives the door assembly to selectively move between an unsealing position and a sealing position. When the door assembly is located at the unsealing position, the door assembly unseals the ice-dropping channel. When the door assembly is located at the sealing position, the door assembly seals the ice-dropping channel. Therefore, it is possible to protect an ice cube in the refrigerator from being contaminated by the external environment.
