    摘要: An ice maker having a refrigeration system, a water system and a control system. The refrigeration system includes an ice formation device. The water system supplies water to the ice formation device, and includes a water reservoir (e.g., a sump or float chamber) for holding water to be formed into ice and a discharge valve in fluid communication with the water reservoir. The control system includes an ice level sensor adapted to sense the ice level in an ice storage bin, and a controller adapted to cause water to drain from the water reservoir when the ice storage bin is full. Substantially or all of the water remaining in the water reservoir is drained such that while the ice maker is not making ice the water reservoir is empty of water. This reduces or prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, parasites, organisms, and/or other biological material in the water reservoir.

    摘要: Refrigerator including an ice-making unit (30) disposed in the door (20) and being able to make ice through direct cooling by a refrigerant without using cold air flow. A cold air generation system circulates the refrigerant for supplying a cold air flow for the refrigerator. A refrigerant pipe (120) is installed in the refrigerator main body (10) to branch off some refrigerant from the cold air generation system. An ice-making pipe (110) is installed within the ice-making unit (30) and receives the refrigerant from the refrigerant pipe (120). Water freezes into ice through heat transfer between the ice-making unit (30) and the ice-making pipe (110) containing refrigerant. A soft pipe (130) is disposed around a hinge shaft of the refrigerator main body (10) and the door (20) and configured to interconnect the ice-making pipe (110) and the refrigerant pipe (120) in a twistable manner.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an ice-making device for a refrigerator and a refrigerator having the same. The ice-making device of the present invention comprises a water tank detachably mounted to a rear surface of a refrigerator door; an ice-making housing detachably mounted to the rear surface of the door below the water tank and provided with a predetermined installation space therein; an ice tray mounted into the installation space and formed with a plurality of ice-making grooves in which water supplied from the water tank is frozen into ice; a valve assembly operating to selectively supply water stored in the water tank to the ice tray when the water tank is installed or withdrawn; and an ice bank for storing ice made in the ice tray, wherein the ice bank is installed in the installation space to be received in or withdrawn out of the installation space. According to the present invention, there are advantages in that ice can be more simply and easily taken out, can be made and stored in a more sanitary way and can be made more rapidly, and power consumption can be minimized while the ice is taken out.

    摘要: Provided is a water tank for a refrigerator. The water tank includes a body part, a supply hole, and a supply part. The body part provides a space in which water for making ice is stored. The supply hole is opened to the outside of the body part. The water is introduced through the supply hole. The supply part is insertable and withdrawable into/from the body part. The supply part selectively opens the supply hole and guides the supplied water such that the water is introduced inside the body part through the supply hole. Thus, the water can be supplied by withdrawing the supply part to improve a user's convenience.
