Abstract

The present invention provides an ice crushing device, of which a fixed ice cutter and a rotary ice cutter can cooperate to cut and process big ice cubes that enter a drum into small ice cubes. Besides, based on the operation mode that the drum rotates, the probability that crushed ice is adhered onto an inner wall of the drum can be effectively reduced. Thus, the frequency of cleaning the inner wall of the drum can be reduced.
