Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, in this prior art, there is the following problem: the ice maker 20 and the ice storage box 22 are arranged in the freezer compartment, and therefore, the freezing space in the freezer compartment is relatively small
[0011] In addition, according to the prior art, since the freezer door is opened when taking ice out of the ice storage box, the loss of cold air is large

Embodiment Construction

[0105] 【Preferred Mode】

[0106] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the refrigerator according to the present invention will be explained in detail.

[0107] Although not shown, a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber are generally formed in a refrigerator main body, and the refrigerating and freezing chambers are selectively opened and closed by a refrigerating chamber door and a freezing chamber door, respectively.

[0108] In addition, the refrigerating compartment door is generally configured to be opened and closed by pivoting about a left or right hinge in a left-right direction or a hinge at a lower end thereof in an up-down direction. In this embodiment, a refrigerator having doors that open and close in left and right directions will be explained as an example.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an ice-making assembly for a refrigerator and a refrigerator including the same. According to the present invention, a freezing chamber door is provided with an ice-making assembly, and ice made by the ice-making assembly can be immediately drawn out to the outside by opening an exclusively used home-bar door. In addition, an ice-making case is coupled by a coupling means formed integrally with the freezing chamber door and the ice-making case without a coupling tool or operation. Moreover, according to the present invention, if a water bucket is installed to the ice-making case, a water supply hole of the lower end of the water bucket is opened by an opening and closing means, so that water in water bucket is automatically supplied to an ice tray. In addition, an ice-separating lever having a '*' shape is provided to simultaneously rotating a plurality of ice trays. Meanwhile, in the present invention, an ice bank cooperates with the home-bar door to be drawn out forward as the home-bar door is opened. According to the present invention, the use convenience of a refrigerator is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to an ice making assembly for a refrigerator that makes ice and stores the ice in the refrigerator. Background technique [0002] In general, a refrigerator is a device for storing food at a low temperature, which stores food by freezing or refrigerating the food according to the state of the food to be stored. [0003] The cold air supplied into the refrigerator is provided by heat exchange with a refrigerant, and is continuously supplied into the refrigerator while repeating a compression-condensation-expansion-evaporation cycle. The supplied refrigerant is evenly distributed into the refrigerator by convection, so that food can be stored in the refrigerator at a desired temperature. [0004] figure 1 and figure 2 It is a perspective view showing an example of the exterior of a conventional side-by-side refrigerator and the interior of its freezer compartment. [0005] As sh...
