Ice Supplying Apparatus And Refrigerator Having The Same

摘要

An ice supplying apparatus includes: an ice bank configured to store therein ice made by an ice maker; a blade unit having a fixed blade, and a rotary blade formed to be relatively-rotatable with respect to the fixed blade, the rotary blade configured to crush ice when rotated in one direction; and a discharge guide unit provided below the blade unit, and configured to discharge the crushed ice, wherein a scattering preventing unit having a different inclination, in a gravitational direction of the earth, from another side of the discharge guide unit is formed at one side of the discharge guide unit, so as to prevent scattering of the crushed ice when the crushed ice is taken out.

主权项

1. An ice supplying apparatus, comprising:
an ice bank configured to store ice made by an ice maker; a blade unit having a fixed blade and a rotary blade, the rotary blade being configured to rotate with respect to the fixed blade and being configured to crush ice based on rotation of the rotary blade in a first direction that causes ice stored by the ice bank to be crushed between the rotary blade and the fixed blade; a discharge guide unit located below the blade unit and configured to guide discharge of the crushed ice; and a scattering preventing unit that is located at a first side of the discharge guide unit and that is configured to, during discharge of the crushed ice, reduce scattering of the crushed ice from the discharge guide unit, the scattering preventing unit having a first inclination angle relative to a direction of gravity that is different from a second inclination angle relative to the direction of gravity of a second side of the discharge guide unit, the second side of the discharge guide unit being opposite of the first side of the discharge guide unit where the scattering preventing unit is located.
