Abstract

A refrigeration apparatus, the refrigeration apparatus comprising a cabinet body, a first refrigeration compartment, a second refrigeration compartment, an ice-making assembly, an ice-dispensing assembly, and an ice-moving assembly. The ice-making assembly is arranged in the first refrigeration compartment, and the ice-dispensing assembly is arranged on a second door body. An ice-moving device comprises an ice-moving channel, an ice-moving portion and the ice-moving assembly, the ice-moving portion being arranged on a first door body, and the ice-moving channel comprising a first sub-channel a second sub-channel which are communicated in sequence. The first sub-channel is arranged on the first door body, and the second sub-channel is arranged on the second door body and is communicated to the ice-dispensing assembly. The first sub-channel is further communicated with the ice-moving portion. The ice-moving assembly drives ice cubes to move from the ice-moving portion towards the ice-moving channel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A refrigeration device, comprising:
 a device body;   a first refrigeration compartment, arranged in the device body, wherein the first refrigeration compartment comprises a first door;   a second refrigeration compartment, arranged in the device body and disposed above the first refrigeration compartment, wherein the second refrigeration compartment comprises a second door;   an ice preparing assembly, arranged in the first refrigeration compartment;   an ice extraction assembly, arranged in the second door;   an ice transfer component, comprising an ice transfer channel, an ice transfer portion and an ice transfer assembly, wherein the ice transfer portion is arranged in the first door; the ice transfer channel comprises a first sub-channel and a second sub-channel that are communicated to each other sequentially; the first sub-channel is defined in the first door, the second sub-channel is defined in the second door; the second sub-channel is communicated to the ice extraction assembly; the first sub-channel is further communicated to an ice transfer outlet of the ice transfer portion; the ice preparing assembly is communicated to an ice transfer inlet of the ice transfer portion; the ice transfer assembly is arranged in the ice transfer portion to drive ice blocks to move out from the ice transfer portion to the ice transfer channel.   
     
     
         2 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein a top wall and a first side wall of the first refrigeration compartment enclose to form a receiving space, the ice preparing assembly is received in the receiving space, and the ice preparing assembly is secured to the top wall or the first side wall of the first refrigeration compartment. 
     
     
         3 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the ice transfer channel further comprises an intermediate channel, the intermediate channel is defined in the first door, the intermediate channel is communicated between the first sub-channel and the second sub-channel, the refrigeration device further comprises:
 a sealing assembly, movably arranged in the first door to seal or open the intermediate channel.   
     
     
         4 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 3 , wherein an end of the second sub-channel near the first door protrudes from the second door; and an end of the second sub-channel near the first door is directly opposite to the intermediate channel. 
     
     
         5 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the ice transfer channel is disposed on a side of the ice extraction assembly away from or near to a rotation axis of the second door. 
     
     
         6 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 2 , wherein the ice transfer portion has a reference plane, the reference plane of the ice transfer portion is parallel to a rear wall of the first refrigeration compartment; an extended thickness of the ice transfer portion perpendicular to the reference plane is less than an extended thickness of the ice transfer portion parallel to the reference plane. 
     
     
         7 . The refrigeration device  according to 6 , wherein a facing direction of the ice transfer inlet is perpendicular to the reference plane; and a facing direction of the ice transfer outlet is parallel to the reference plane. 
     
     
         8 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein an opening diameter of the ice transfer inlet is greater than an opening diameter of an ice outlet of the ice preparing assembly; and when the first door is closed to the device body, the ice transfer inlet is docked to an outside of the ice outlet of the ice preparing assembly. 
     
     
         9 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first door is rotatably arranged on the device body; or the first refrigeration compartment comprises a first drawer, the first drawer is pullably arranged with the device body; and the first door is fixed to the first drawer. 
     
     
         10 . The refrigeration device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second sub-channel comprises:
 an ice transfer section, communicated to the first sub-channel;   a guiding section, communicated to the ice transfer section, wherein the guiding section is disposed above the ice extraction assembly and bent toward the ice extraction assembly, a bending angle of the guiding section is greater than 90° and less than 180°.
