Ice maker for refrigerator and refrigerator with ice maker

Abstract

The invention provides an ice maker for a refrigerator and a refrigerator with the ice maker. The ice maker comprises a frame, ice cube trays, an ice making motor, two overflow preventing pieces, a driving component and a resetting component, wherein the ice making motor is connected with the ice cube trays and is used for driving the ice cube trays to rotate and turn between an ice making position and an ice unloading position so as to unload ice; at least one of the two overflow preventing pieces can be moved between a closing position and a shrinking position, and the two overflow preventing pieces at the closing position are contacted with the left side and the right side of the ice cube trays respectively so as to prevent water from overflowing from the ice cube trays in the process of making ice; and at least one overflow preventing piece at the shrinking position is shrunk so as to prevent the overflow preventing piece from interfering in the ice cube trays in the process of unloading ice. Thus, at least one overflow preventing piece of the ice maker is driven to move between the closing position and the shrinking position, so the ice maker effectively prevents overflowing and the interference in the ice cube trays, prevents the overflow preventing pieces from being damaged due to deformation, and prolongs the service life of the overflow preventing pieces.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to an ice maker for refrigerators and a refrigerator with the same Background technique [0002] At present, most refrigerators with an ice-making function have an ice maker installed in the refrigerator door. When the refrigerator door is opened or closed, water causes the water in the ice-making compartment to overflow from the ice maker, resulting in freezing or frosting. [0003] Some refrigerators prevent overflow by setting an overflow cover above the ice-making tray, which greatly increases the installation space of the ice maker; The installation space of the ice machine is large, but the way to drive the anti-overflow sheet is mostly extrusion, so the anti-overflow sheet made of plastic will be deformed after a long time of use, so the overflow effect is reduced. [0004] For example, Chinese patent application 200780040391.8 discloses an ice maker, which is provided...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, most of the refrigerators with ice-making function set the ice maker in the refrigerator door. When the refrigerator door is opened or closed, the water in the ice-making compartment overflows from the ice maker, causing ice or frost to form.
