Abstract
The present invention relates to a refrigerator, comprising: a body having a refrigerating compartment located at an upper portion thereof and a freezing compartment positioned at a lower portion thereof; An ice making chamber detachably installed in the refrigerating compartment and provided with an ice maker for making ice; An ice storage container installed inside the refrigerating compartment door for opening and closing the refrigerating compartment and communicating with the ice making chamber while the refrigerating compartment door is closed to receive the ice iced by the ice maker; And a dispenser installed outside the refrigerating compartment door and communicating with the ice storage container to extract ice from the ice storage container. The refrigerator according to the present invention having such a configuration minimizes the volume of the ice making chamber by not including an ice making chamber other than the ice making machine, that is, an ice making heat exchanger for supplying cold air for ice making and an ice storage container for storing iced ice. As a result, it has the effect of increasing the utilization of the refrigerator compartment.

Publication No. 10-2005-0117536
The present invention relates to a refrigerator. More specifically, it relates to a refrigerator in which a refrigerating compartment is located at an upper side and a freezing compartment is located at a lower side, and an ice maker for ice making is installed in the refrigerating compartment, but the installation volume of the ice maker can be minimized.
In general, the refrigerator has a freezer compartment and a refrigerating compartment up and down, but as the refrigerator has become larger in recent years, a refrigerator has been developed in which a refrigerating compartment is positioned at the top and a freezer compartment is located at the bottom, and the refrigerator compartment located at the upper portion has a large volume.
The refrigerator has an inconvenience of having to bend the waist in order for the user to take out ice because the ice maker which freezes ice is also installed in the lower part where the freezer is located.
In order to solve this problem, a refrigerator has recently been developed in which an ice maker is installed in a refrigerating chamber located at an upper portion thereof, and ice can be easily taken out through an air outlet installed in a refrigerating chamber door.
1 is a conventional refrigerator equipped with an ice maker in a refrigerating chamber, which is a refrigerator disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2005-0117536 (hereinafter, referred to as a 'prior art'). The refrigerator according to the related art has a refrigerating
However, since the refrigerator of the related art has an
The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, it is an object to provide a refrigerator that can be installed in the refrigerator compartment located in the upper, while increasing the utilization of the refrigerator compartment while minimizing the volume occupied in the refrigerator compartment.
An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator which can perform ice making without using a separate heat exchanger for ice making.
In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator which can easily open and close the refrigerating compartment door by preventing freezing between the ice making chamber and the dispenser.
In order to achieve the above object, the refrigerator includes a main body in which a refrigerating chamber is positioned at an upper portion and a freezing chamber is positioned at a lower portion thereof; An ice making chamber detachably installed in the refrigerating compartment and provided with an ice maker for making ice; An ice storage container installed inside the refrigerating compartment door for opening and closing the refrigerating compartment and communicating with the ice making chamber while the refrigerating compartment door is closed to receive the ice iced by the ice maker; And a dispenser installed outside the refrigerating compartment door and communicating with the ice storage container to extract ice from the ice storage container. The refrigerator according to the present invention having such a configuration minimizes the volume of the ice making chamber by not having an ice making chamber other than the ice making machine, that is, an ice making heat exchanger for supplying cold air for ice making and an ice storage container for storing iced ice. As a result, it has the effect of increasing the utilization of the refrigerator compartment.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 is a view showing a refrigerator according to the present invention, Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the refrigerator compartment of FIG.

As mentioned above, although the said Example about this invention was described concretely, this invention is not limited to the said Example and can be variously changed in the range which does not deviate from the technical idea of Claim.
As described above, the refrigerator according to the present invention has an effect of easily extracting ice by installing an ice maker in the refrigerator compartment and a dispenser in the refrigerator compartment door in a refrigerator having a refrigerator compartment located at an upper portion thereof.
In addition, the refrigerator according to the present invention has an effect of increasing the utilization space of the refrigerating compartment by placing only the ice making chamber in which the ice maker is installed in the refrigerating compartment and placing an ice storage container for storing ice in the refrigerating compartment door.
In addition, since the ice making room of the refrigerator according to the present invention is detachably installed in the refrigerating room, it is possible to remove the ice making room and use it only as a refrigerating room when the ice maker is not used.
In addition, since the refrigerator according to the present invention has a structure in which cold air of the heat exchanger is blown without a separate heat exchanger for ice making, the volume of the ice making chamber itself is reduced.
In addition, the refrigerator according to the present invention by periodically heating the gasket installed between the outlet of the ice making chamber and the inlet of the ice reservoir to move the ice to prevent freezing around the gasket and thereby smoothly opening and closing the refrigerator compartment door Has an effect.
