Expansion device for ice making device in refrigerator

Abstract

The invention relates to an expansion container of ice maker for refrigerator. In the invention, for ice block generated in the ice maker of refrigerator is stored, storing container with box shape is set at the bottom of said ice maker, meanwhile, an expansion mouth is set at the bottom of storing container with box shape and expansion container with bellow shape connected with the upper end is set round said expansion mouth so that as the ice block generated in said ice maker is stored in said storing container it can also be stored in said expansion container so as to increase the storing capacity of storing ice block in refrigerator. In addition, as said expansion container flexes said storing capacity can be changed. When ice block stored in said storing container is discharged and decreased, said expansion container is shrunk so that ice block in it can move to the inner of storing container and is discharged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ice maker of a refrigerator, in particular to an extended container of an ice maker for a refrigerator, which can accommodate more ice cubes generated in the ice maker of the refrigerator. Background technique [0002] Generally, refrigerators are provided with storage rooms such as a refrigerating chamber for refrigerated storage of beverages and foods, and storage chambers for refrigerated storage of the beverages and foods. [0003] In addition, an ice maker is generally provided in the freezer compartment, and the ice maker freezes water contained in the freezer compartment and is used to make ice cubes. [0004] Wherein, in the ice maker of the above-mentioned prior art, in order to accommodate water inside and take out the generated ice cubes conveniently, the above-mentioned ice maker is formed in the shape of a box with an open top, and in order to select the size of the above-mentioned ice cubes , and generally a p...

Problems solved by technology

[0016] However, in the storage container of the above-mentioned prior art, since its capacity and size are limited, and in order to generate ice cubes in the above-mentioned ice maker, it takes more than a predetermined time, therefore, when the amount contained in the above-mentioned storage container is required When more ice cubes are used, the required amount of ice cubes will not be provided

[0017] In addition, if the capacity and size of the above-mentioned storage container are enlarged, the above-mentioned storage container will take up unnecessary expansion space inside the refrigerator, thereby reducing the space utilization rate inside the above-mentioned refrigerator.

In general, in the case of a freezer in which the above-mentioned ice maker is installed, it has a small space compared with a freezer or the like of a refrigerator, so that there are many limitations in expanding the capacity of the above-mentioned storage container.
