A refrigeration-cycle apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of evaporators having various temperature bands, along with a refrigerator including a plurality of cooling compartments to enable stable and even cooling operations in various temperature bands using the plurality of evaporators. The refrigeration-cycle apparatus and the refrigerator enable individual operation of a portion of the plurality of evaporators, thereby reducing consumption of energy and enabling accurate control of an interior temperature of the refrigerator. The refrigeration-cycle apparatus includes a compressor that compresses and discharges a refrigerant, a condensing device including at least one condenser that condenses the refrigerant discharged from the compressor, a distributor that distributes the refrigerant condensed in the condensing device, and a cold air generator including a plurality of evaporators that evaporates the refrigerant distributed by the distributor. The plurality of evaporators is connected in series and parallel to one another and operates, respectively, to generate cold air having different temperature bands from one another.

Apparatus for refrigeration cycle and refrigerator

Refrigerator with an icemaker including a cabinet having a mullion wall for compartmentalization of a freezing chamber and a refrigerating chamber, a case provided to a door on the refrigerating chamber, having a cavity therein, a first duct for supplying cold air from a neighborhood of an evaporator in the freezing chamber to the cavity, the icemaker in the cavity for producing ice, an ice container in the cavity for storing the ice, and a dispenser in the door in communication with the cavity, thereby having ice supplied to a user at an outside of the refrigerator through a dispenser provided to the door.

Refrigerator with icemaker

Disclosed is a dispenser of an icemaker in a refrigerator for maximizing an inner space when a total size is the same, and for minimizing the total size when the inner space is the same. The dispenser of the icemaker in the refrigerator includes an ice chute being a passage through which the ice produced from the icemaker is discharged; and a container supporter provided at an outer case and disposed to be perpendicular to an outer surface of the outer case when the ice is discharged outside through the ice chute, the contain supporter allowing a container seated thereon to receive the ice discharged from the ice chute. The ice chute is closed and not exposed outside when the ice-discharging process is finished, and the container supporter is not exposed to the outer surface of the outer case.

Dispenser of icemaker in refrigerator

The present invention provides a refrigerator, in which cold-storage () and freezer rooms () are situated at upper and lower parts, respectively, in which ice made at the freezer room () of the lower part is dispensed at the cold-storage room () of the upper part, and by which a user can pick up the ice without bending over to enhance user's convenience. The present invention includes a body (B) having a cold-storage room () provided to an upper part and a freezer room () provided to a lower part, an ice maker () provided to the freezer room to make ice, an ice bank () receiving the ice made by the ice maker, and a transport mechanism sending the ice discharged from the ice bank () toward the cold-storage room () via an ice transport passage (). Therefore, the present invention sufficiently secures the spaces of the cold-storage and freezer rooms to raise spatial efficiency.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator includes a body; a compartment within the body; a container within the compartment, the container being moveable along a first direction; an electrical device, the electrical device moving along with the container in the first direction when the container moves along the first direction; and a conductor for providing an electrical signal to the electrical device, the conductor being extendable and retractable in the first direction when the electrical device moves along the first direction.

An ice maker for a refrigerator includes a first shaft rotatably fastened to an inside of an ice bank, a second shaft fastened to an end of the first shaft and rotated by a driving motor, and a plurality of blades formed along a longitudinal direction of the second shaft. The blades are spaced apart a predetermined distance along the second shaft and have a spiral surface which acts to push ice as the second shaft rotates. The first shaft may be formed of a material such as steel, which has good torsional elasticity. The second shaft and the blades may be formed as one molded piece.

Refrigerator having an ice maker and ice dispenser

A refrigerator includes a cold chamber; a cold chamber door for covering the cold chamber; a freezing chamber; a thermal insulation case on the cold chamber door; an ice-making chamber located on an inner side of the cold chamber door and covered by the thermal insulation case; an ice-making unit installed in the ice-making chamber for making ice using ice-making cold air supplied from the freezing chamber; and a cold air guide structure including: a cold air inlet port for supplying the ice-making cold air into the ice-making chamber; a cold air outlet port for exhausting the ice-making cold air from the ice-making chamber; a cold air supply passage along a wall of the refrigerator to supply the ice-making cold air from the freezing chamber to the cold air inlet port; and a cold air return passage along the wall of the refrigerator to discharge the exhausted ice-making cold air from the cold air outlet port to the freezing chamber.

Cold air guide structure of ice-making chamber of cold chamber door

A refrigerator is provided with an airflow passage for an ice making compartment of the refrigerator. In the refrigerator, a main body has an opened side, and a door selectively closes the opened side of the main body. An ice making compartment is formed in the door, the ice making compartment being insulated from the outside and being kept at a low temperature. A duct is formed in the main body for exchanging cooling air with the ice making compartment, and a cooling air passage is formed at an outer surface of the ice making compartment to connect the duct with the ice making compartment. A switching unit closes the cooling air passage when the door is opened, and opens the cooling air passage when the door is closed. With this arrangement, the cooling air can be sufficiently supplied to the ice making compartment without the penetration of foreign substance.
