Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the heating type deicing method uses a high-energy heater in the deicing process, thus having a high power consumption rate and causing an increase in the temperature of the ice making compartment or storage compartment
[0006] In addition, the twisting type deicing method uses an ice tray made of plastic, thus making it difficult to apply to an ice maker including an ice tray made of aluminum

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

[0032] refer to figure 1 and 2 , the refrigerator includes: a main body 10 forming an appearance of the refrigerator; and a plurality of storage chambers formed in the main body 10 . A plurality of storage compartments are separated from each other by a partition 15 , the left storage compartment serves as the freezing compartment 30 , and the right storage compartment serves as the refrigerating compartment 20 .

[0033] A heat exchanger 34 and a blower fan 35 , which generate and supply cold air to each of the refrigerating room 20 and the freezing room 30 , are installed in the refrigerating room 20 and the freezing room 30 the rear of each. In addition, a machine room 36 is provided at a lower region of the rear of the main body 10, and a compressor and a condenser for com...

Abstract

Disclosed herein are an ice maker and a refrigerator having the same. The ice maker includes an ice making tray including a plurality of ice making cells, a driving unit to rotate the ice making tray, a plurality of blades corresponding to the plurality of ice making cells to block the ice cubes made in the ice making cells and thus twist the ice making tray while removing the ice cubes from the ice making cells when the ice making tray is rotated, and a protrusion formed on the ice making tray to assist the removal of the ice cubes from the ice making cells. The ice maker removes the ice cubes from the ice making tray by a twisting-type deicing process using the plurality of blades and the protrusion.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments relate to an ice maker having improved deicing performance and applying both an indirect cooling type cooling method and a direct cooling type cooling method, and a refrigerator having the same. Background technique [0002] Generally, a storage compartment for storing various foods in an optimal state for a long time is provided in the refrigerator. The storage room includes a refrigerating room and a freezing room, and the refrigerating room and the freezing room are separated from each other. Recently, a refrigerator in which an ice maker for making ice cubes is provided in a storage compartment has been developed. [0003] Ice makers are classified into an indirect cooling type ice maker that uses cold air circulating in a freezer to make ice cubes and a direct cooling type ice maker that uses Refrigerant pipes of the refrigeration cycle to make ice cubes. Each of these ice makers includes an ice-making tray containing water used to ...
