A refrigerator having an ice making device, comprises: a case having an opening at one side thereof; a tray accommodation portion having opened upper and lower surfaces, and configured to be inserted into or withdrawn from the case through the opening; an ice tray accommodated in the tray accommodation portion, and containing water to be frozen to ice cubes; and an accommodation portion coupling unit for coupling the tray accommodation portion to the case. Water is poured onto the ice tray in a state that the ice tray has been accommodated in the tray accommodation portion, and then the ice tray is carried to be mounted to the case. This may solve the conventional problem that each ice tray has to be carried. Furthermore, since an external force such as hand trembling is transmitted to the ice tray via the tray accommodation portion, overflow of water is minimized.

A refrigerator controls the temperature of an upper space and a lower space. A heat source supplier provides heat in the upper space. A control unit controls the heat source supplier based on the sensed temperature from a temperature sensor to maintain the temperature of the upper space to be higher than the temperature of the lower space, and control a cooling circuit to maintain the temperature of the lower space to be below the temperature of a maximum ice crystal formation zone of water and the temperature of the upper space to be over the temperature of the maximum ice crystal formation zone of water, thus maintaining a supercooled state of a stored liquid in the container as a preset state during a first time period.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes a control apparatus and a storing space composed of an upper space and a lower space between which the air or heat exchange is limited. The storing space has a liquid in a supercooled state. A determination unit calculates an accumulated time during which the temperature of the storing space is maintained in a supercooling temperature range below the maximum ice crystal formation zone of the stored liquid after the sensed temperature enters the supercooling temperature range, compares the accumulated time with a supercooled-state determination time and determines that the stored liquid is in the supercooled state if the accumulated time is equal to or greater than the supercooled-state determination time.

The present invention relates to a cooling apparatus with a passage therein to introduce the cool air from a cooling space into a non-freezing apparatus to cool a lower space of the non-freezing apparatus. A cooling apparatus includes a cooling space supplied with the cool air, a non-freezing apparatus installed in the cooling space and storing food in a non-frozen state, a cooling passage for introducing the cool air from the cooling space into the non-freezing apparatus, and a discharge passage for discharging the flow from the non-freezing apparatus to the cooling space.

A supercooling apparatus of the present invention is capable of regulating a supercooled state for an item at temperatures below a phase transition temperature and adjusting temperature of the item in the supercooled state, wherein the supercooling apparatus comprises a storage space for receiving liquid or a stored item containing liquid; a cooling means for cooling the liquid, the stored item, or the storage space to a temperature below zero; and a temperature regulating means for applying a controlled amount of energy to the liquid, to surface of the stored item, or to gas above the surface, thereby regulating a temperature of the liquid or the stored item below a maximum ice crystal formation temperature zone of the liquid or the stored item. Therefore, the supercooling apparatus can control a supercooling temperature that has the biggest influence on ecological preservation of liquid or a stored item.

Supercooling apparatus

A refrigerator has a container for storing ice surrounded by a cold accumulating member, so that when the container is provided in the refrigeration compartment, ice stored inside the container will not melt and stick together.

An ice maker is installed at a refrigerating chamber, and an ice bank is installed at a door of the refrigerating chamber. A cooling air duct extends along a wall surface of the refrigerating chamber and is positioned on an upper side of the ice bank so that ice stored in the inside of an ice bank is prevented from sticking to each other due to the melting of ice.

A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a main body in which a storage chamber is provided and a door on which an image is provided. The door is pivotably coupled to the main body. The door includes a door panel defining an outer appearance of the door, a pattern processing part disposed on a side of the door panel to realize the image, and a glass member fixed to the door panel. According to the refrigerator, an elegant outer appearance of the door is realized to satisfy consumers' desires and increase consumer confidence.
