  • Patent number: 11656018
    Abstract: The present application relates to the field of ice making, and provides an ice making system and a refrigeration apparatus. The ice making system includes an ice making assembly, a water collecting tank located below the ice making assembly, and a water diversion ice rake structure. The water diversion ice rake structure includes: a pair of water receiving lateral wings, each of which is constructed with a rotary end and a free end; the pair of water receiving lateral wings are rotatably disposed on opposite sides of the ice making assembly through the respective rotary ends to rotate between an ice making position and an ice falling position. At the ice making position, the free ends of the pair of water receiving lateral wings are butted in a space between the ice making assembly and the water collecting tank to form a closure space with an opening facing the ice making assembly, and a water outlet communicating with the water collecting tank is constructed on one side of the closure space.

  • Patent number: 11480376
    Abstract: Disclosed are an ice storage container (100) and a refrigerator (1000) having same. The ice storage container (100) includes: an ice delivering part (10) and an ice crushing part (20). The ice delivering part (10) includes: a container body (11), an ice pushing component (12), and a driving member. The container body (11) defines a first accommodating cavity (a) for accommodating ice cubes. The first accommodating cavity (a) is provided with an ice outlet (b). The ice pushing component (10) is arranged in the first accommodating cavity (a). The ice pushing component (12) includes a plurality of blades (1212). The driving member is connected to the ice pushing component (12). The blades (1212) of the ice pushing component (12) are configured to crush the ice cubes selectively based on a preset condition that is forward rotation or reverse rotation. The plurality of blades (1212) push the ice towards the ice outlet (b).

  • Publication number: 20220196626
    Abstract: The present application relates to the technical field of water quality monitoring for water supply systems, and provides a water quality monitoring method for a water supply system, a water supply system, and a refrigeration apparatus. The water quality monitoring method for a water supply system includes: controlling to convey water to a water outlet pipe of the water supply system; obtaining a water quality parameter in the water outlet pipe; judging whether the water quality parameter meets a standard; if the water quality parameter meets the standard, ending the monitoring; if the water quality parameter does not meet the standard, proceeding to a next operation; controlling to drain the water in the water supply system; and repeating the above obtaining operation, judging operation, and draining operation, until the water quality parameter meets the standard.
