Embodiment Construction

[0031] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0032] figure 1 It is a perspective view of a refrigerator with an ice storage box according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] refer to figure 1 , the refrigerator 1 stores food at a low temperature through a refrigeration cycle using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator.

[0034] Refrigerator 1 comprises refrigerating compartment 2 for storing food at a low temperature above 0° C. (above freezing point) and a freezing compartment 3 for storing food and ice cubes at a low temperature below 0° C. The refrigerator 1 also includes an ice maker 5 provided in the freezing compartment 3 for preparing ice cubes, an ice storage box 6 for storing ice cubes prepared by the ice maker 5, and an ice storage box 6 for supplying ice to a user from the ice storage box 6. bloc...

Abstract

An ice bank of a refrigerator is provided. The ice bank includes an ice accommodation chamber storing ice pieces made by an ice maker, and an ice pressing unit circulating the ice pieces by pressing the ice pieces for preventing sticking of the ice pieces in the ice accommodation chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular to an ice storage box of the refrigerator. Background technique [0002] The ice storage box of the refrigerator stores the ice cubes prepared by the ice maker, and after crushing the ice cubes to an appropriate size, supplies the ice cubes to users. [0003] An ice maker is connected to the refrigerator to prepare ice cubes of a desired size and supply the ice cubes to users. Recently, in order to meet the needs of customers, more and more manufacturers install the ice maker on the refrigerator as a fixed part instead of installing the ice maker as an option or an add-on. The ice bank (or ice tank) stores ice cubes prepared by the ice maker to be supplied to users. Therefore, even when the user needs a large amount of ice cubes, the ice storage box can supply the required ice cubes immediately. [0004] Generally, the ice storage box includes: a storage chamber for storing a large amount of ice...
