Embodiment Construction

[0057] Reference will now be made to preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0058] Generally, an ice making device freezes water to prepare ice cubes having a predetermined size, and discharges the ice cubes according to user's needs. Also, the ice making device supplies unbroken or crushed ice according to user's selection. Ice making devices are usually installed in refrigerators. However, it is possible to provide an ice making device in a drinking water device such as a water purifier.

[0059] Below, will refer to Figure 3 to Figure 1 0 illustrates an ice bank of an ice making device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] refer to image 3 , The ice storage box according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 50 , an ice ej...

Abstract

An ice bank of an ice-making device for a refrigerator is disclosed, for smooth crush and discharge of ice, which includes a housing for storing ice made in an icemaker, and provided rotatably to apply the power to the stored ice at a rotation direction; an ice discharger having at least one hole through which the ice is discharge to the external; a crusher provided in the inside of the housing, the crusher guiding the stored ice to the hole of the ice discharge and crushing the ice as a predetermined size before discharging the ice to the hole according to a user's select; and rotating means for rotating the housing. Also, the crusher includes fixed crushing means fixed to the inside of the housing, and rotation crushing means rotated for being synchronized with the housing so as to crush the ice before discharging the ice to the external according to a user's select.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Application No. P2003-41562 filed on June 25, 2003 and Korean Application No. P2003-65160 filed on September 19, 2003, which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a refrigerator, and more particularly, to an ice bank of an ice making device having an improved structure for smoothly discharging ice cubes. Background technique [0003] Generally, a refrigerator has a refrigerator compartment and a freezer compartment. At this time, the temperature of the refrigerator is kept at 3°C-4°C to keep food and vegetables fresh for a long time, while the temperature of the freezer is kept below zero to keep and store frozen food for a long time. [0004] Recently, refrigerators for performing various additional functions other than their typical functions have been produced. For example, an ice maker may be provided in a refrigerator. figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing ...
