Abstract (en)

The present invention discloses an ice crushing device and a refrigerator. The ice crushing device comprises a housing assembly comprising a housing and an ice bank, an ice-discharging substrate being provided at the bottom of the ice bank, the ice-discharging substrate being provided with an ice-discharging port communicated with the ice bank; a driving mechanism for driving the ice bank or an ice cutter shaft to rotate; an ice crushing mechanism; a stop assembly; when the ice crushing device is in a first state, the stop assembly is in an initial state and a stopping surface is formed at the ice-discharging port to stop the ice cubes from falling; when the ice crushing device is in a second state, the stop assembly displaces or changes its shape under the action of an external force to release the stopping surface; after the external force disappears, the stop assembly returns to the initial state and forms the stopping surface again.
