Embodiment Construction

[0037] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure that can specifically achieve the above objects will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In this process, the size, shape, etc. of components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for the purpose of clarity and convenience of description. In addition, terms specifically defined in consideration of composition and operation of the present disclosure may vary according to user's or operator's or customer's intention. Such terms should be defined based on the content throughout the specification.

[0039] The present disclosure installs barriers to separate ice cubes based on ice size such that sprayed water and removed ice are separated from each other. When ice making is completed in a tray with a small volume of ice, the flow path along which the refrigerant flows may be changed to prevent cold air from being supplied toward the evaporator near the tray where ice making has b...

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an ice machine including: a cabinet; a tray disposed inside the cabinet and having a plurality of cells for respectively forming ice cubes; and a nozzle disposed below the tray and spraying water toward the tray, wherein the plurality of cells includes a first cell having a smaller size and a second cell having a larger size than the first cell, and wherein the nozzle includes a first nozzle for spraying the water into the first cell and a second nozzle for spraying the water into the second cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to ice makers, and more particularly, to ice makers that can make ice cubes of various sizes. Background technique [0002] An ice maker installed in a kitchen sink to provide ice to users generally has a structure in which transparent ice is made by applying a direct cooling cycle, an ice making section for making ice is provided at the top of the ice maker, and deicing The process delivers the ice to the ice storage at the bottom of the ice maker and stores it in the ice storage. [0003] According to the prior art, the ice making section only makes ice with the same size. However, such a solution does not satisfy users who want ice cubes of various sizes. [0004] In one example, when the ice making part includes trays capable of making ice cubes of various sizes, ice cubes of various sizes may be made by one tray. However, when ice cubes of a certain size are full on the tray, all the ice cubes made in the ice maki...
