The rotating shaft 11 is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the ice crushing shell 10; an output shaft of the driving piece for ice crushing 9 can stretch into the ice crushing shell 10 and is connected with one end of the rotating shaft 11. The other end of the rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected with the inner side wall of the ice crushing shell 10. The rotating blades 14 are installed on a periphery of the rotating shaft 11 so as to drive the rotating blades 14 to rotate through the rotating shaft 11. When the driving piece for ice crushing 9 operates, the rotating shaft 11 and the rotating blades 14 can be driven to rotate, and then the rotating blades 14 and the fixed blades 13 are matched to extrude and crush the ice blocks 4, so that ice crushing is realized; and the opening in the lower end of the ice crushing shell 10 is used for discharging the crushed ice.
The number of the fixed seats 12 is two, the two fixed seats 12 are diagonally fixed in the ice crushing shell 10, the rotating blades 14 are divided into two groups, the two groups of rotating blades 14 can rotate to a position corresponding the two fixed seats 12, so as to improve the ice crushing efficiency.
The inner wall of the fixed seat 12 is an arc-shaped curved surface which can be matched with the rotary rotating blades 14 and convenient for the fixed blades 13 to install.
Sawteeth are arranged on a side, away from the fixed seat 12, of the fixed blade 13, and sawteeth are arranged on one side of the rotating blade 14, thereby facilitating ice crushing.
