A refrigerator includes a cabinet forming a storage space, a door configured to open or close the storage space, and an ice maker provided in the storage space or the door. The ice maker includes an upper tray including an upper chamber forming an upper portion of an ice chamber, a lower tray including a lower chamber forming a lower portion of the ice chamber, and an upper heater disposed along a circumference of the upper chamber so that at least two heating regions are formed at different positions in a vertical direction in the upper chamber.

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 a method for controlling an icemaker for a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a method for controlling an icemaker for a refrigerator which involves automatically determining water supply failure during the water supply, ice-making, and ice-removing processes of the icemaker, preventing water from being only partially frozen, and preventing the failure of the ice-making operation, thus enabling the icemaker to operate smoothly.

A refrigerator includes an ice maker positioned in the refrigerator and configured to make ice. The refrigerator also includes a plate positioned at an open side of the ice making tray and configured to reduce water overflow. The refrigerator further includes a cool air inlet passage configured to allow cool air to be introduced to an area inside of the plate. In addition, the refrigerator includes a cool air outlet passage that is separate from the cool air inlet passage, and configured to allow release of cool air from the area inside of the plate to an exterior of the plate.
摘要:
There is provided an ice making method capable of reducing the required number of gyrations of a gyration member used for making ice to have a high level of transparency and determining a point in time at which ice is to be released. The ice making method for making highly transparent ice by revolving a gyration member provided in a tray member in which water is put such that a plurality of dipping members, on which ice is generated or from which generated ice is released, are immersed, wherein a method for driving the gyration member in making ice to be supplied to a user and a method for driving the gyration member in making ice to be used for generating cold water are different in order to reduce the number of gyrations of the gyration member.
摘要:
A refrigerator (12) is provided that includes a low energy refrigerator heat source. The refrigerator includes a heat source positioned at a source of latent heat (46). The heat source harvests heat from the source of latent heat (46) and stores said heat in a fluid within that heat reservoir (24) or heat exchanger. The warmed fluid is then supplied via a fluid pathway to an application requiring a heat output. Thus, the heat reservoir (24) provides heat to the application without use of an energy-consuming device, which reduces the energy consumption of the refrigerator.

Provided is a refrigerator with an ice maker. The ice maker includes an ice tray formed of a metal material, the ice tray providing an ice making space in which water for making an ice is supplied to make the ice and a resin layer formed of a plastic resin, the resin layer defining at least portion of the ice making space to smoothly convey the ice.
摘要:
An ice detecting apparatus for an ice maker provided in a refrigerator includes an ice maker, and an ice detecting sensor attached to the ice maker and detecting an amount of ice collected in an ice container. The ice detecting sensor includes at least one optical transmitter or emitter provided on one side of the ice maker and at least one receiver at another side of the ice maker. The optical transmitter and receiver are separated by a prescribed distance and, at least one heater is provided to generate heat to be transferred to at least one of the optical transmitter or receiver.
