Embodiment Construction

[0018] Hereinafter, a detailed description of a refrigerator according to the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] figure 1 is a perspective view showing a three-door bottom freezer type refrigerator having an ice maker according to the present invention.

[0020] like figure 1 As shown in , the refrigerator according to the present invention may include a refrigerating chamber 2 arranged on the upper side of the refrigerator main body 1 for storing food in a fresh state, and a freezing chamber 3 arranged in the refrigerator The lower side of the main body 1 is used for storing food in a frozen state. The refrigerator main body 1 is provided with a refrigerating compartment door 4 for opening / closing the refrigerating compartment 2 and a freezing compartment door 5 for opening / closing the freezing compartment 3, respectively. Compressor 10 ( figure 2 etc.) and condenser 20 ( figure 2 A machine room (not shown) in which is...

Abstract

Disclosed is an ice maker for a refrigerator. The ice maker is further provided with an ice making evaporator in addition to an evaporator for cooling a refrigerating chamber of a freezing chamber, and the ice making evaporator is sunk in water to generate ice, thereby quickly creating transparent ice. The ice maker can also be disposed in the refrigerating chamber or a refrigerating chamber door, thus to prevent ice from being formed with air bubble remaining in water, resulting in enhancing transparency of ice. In addition, even if the ice maker is disposed in the refrigerating chamber door, cold air is not needed to be induced from the freezing chamber, which allows independent operations of the freezing chamber and the ice maker, thereby increasing energy efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ice maker used in a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] Recently, an ice maker for making ice cubes is installed in a large refrigerator. The ice maker is configured such that a certain amount of water supplied into the ice making tray is frozen by applying cold air, and then the ice in the tray is delivered to an ice storage container for storage. [0003] In this ice maker, the ice making tray is arranged in a state having a freezing point (freezing point) lower than 0° C., for example, in a freezer compartment, so as to freeze water by cold air. Therefore, the portion where the cold air reaches first starts to freeze, and this freeze advances toward the center. For example, the surface of water that first contacts the surrounding cold air begins to freeze forming an ice core. Once the ice core is formed, this freeze travels towards the center of the water, eventually forming ice. [0004] However, the ...
