摘要:
The present invention relates to an icemaker in which an ice cube tray is twisted by rotation of an actuator to easily and effectively release ice from the ice cube tray. The icemaker comprising an ice cube tray formed with cube compartments; an actuator rotating the ice cube tray; and a stopper coming into contact with the ice cube tray being rotated and allowing the ice cube tray to be twisted, the cube compartments being diagonally arranged with respect to a lengthwise direction of the ice cube tray. With this configuration, the present invention provides an icemaker in which an ice is easily released from an ice cube tray and minimally cracked or broken while being released.

An evaporator of an ice machine operating on a typical ice-making cycle, comprising a heat-conducting metal plate member, an evaporator body formed by folding the metal plate member into a " "-shape after a refrigerant circuit including a capillary tube, refrigerant tube and evaporating tube etc., is oppositely mounted inside of the plate member, and means for fixing the evaporator body in a vertical position inside of the cabinet of an ice machine. The present invention improves productivity by resolving disadvantages such as the increase of the installation space and complex assembly. Moreover, easier and more accurate ice-separating may be attained according to the present invention.

A refrigerator including a main body cabinet including a storage compartment and a convertible compartment divided from the storage compartment; and a cool air providing part including a storage compartment evaporator to cool the storage compartment, a convertible compartment evaporator connected to the storage compartment evaporator in series to cool the convertible compartment, and a cooling fan providing cool air generated in the convertible compartment evaporator to the convertible compartment so as to function as one of freezing or refrigerating. Thus, the refrigerator includes a convertible compartment divided from a freezing compartment or a refrigerating compartment to store food by being provided with cool air separately. Further, the refrigerator prevents cool air in a freezing compartment or a refrigerating compartment from flowing out when a convertible compartment is open.

A refrigerator with a multipurpose storage chamber and a control method. In the refrigerator, the flow of cool air to the multipurpose storage chamber is selectively controlled in accordance with a variety of operational modes. In order to accomplish such a cool air flow control, a refrigerating compartment fan and a damper are provided at positions above a refrigerating compartment evaporator. In addition, a flap, controlled at an open angle thereof, is provided at the inlet of an air guide path guiding the cool air to the multipurpose storage chamber. The multipurpose storage chamber of this refrigerator can thus effectively be used to store a variety of foods in accordance with storage characteristics of the foods. In addition, a thawing mode operation of the refrigerator is performed under the condition that it is not necessary to perform a refrigerating compartment cooling operation. It is thus possible to prevent an excessive increase in the temperature of the refrigerating compartment caused by an operation of the defrosting heater during such a thawing mode.
摘要:
A refrigerator includes a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber located beneath the freezing chamber and separated therefrom by a partition. An evaporator is disposed in the partition for cooling air received from the freezing and refrigerating chambers. A fan circulates that air to the evaporator and then back to the chambers. An air passage disposed in the partition communicates the refrigerating chamber with the evaporator. An air sterilizing and deodorizing mechanism is disposed at an upstream end of that passage for treating air leaving the refrigerating chamber and entering the passage.
