The refrigerator includes a vegetable compartment () thermally insulated by a rear partition (), and a mist generation department () for atomizing a mist into the vegetable compartment (), and the mist generation department () includes a atomizing electrode () for atomizing the mist into the vegetable compartment (), a voltage applicator () for applying a voltage to the atomizing electrode (), and a cooling pin () coupled to the atomizing electrode (), in which the atomizing electrode () is cooled to a temperature lower than the dew point by a outlet air-duct for freezer compartment (), and the moisture in the air is cooled to condense dew on the atomizing electrode (), and is atomized as a mist into the vegetable compartment (), and dew can be condensed from moisture onto the atomizing electrode () stably and in a simple configuration, and the freshness of the food is enhanced while the reliability of the refrigerator is enhanced.

Refrigerator, and electric device

A compact ice-making device is provided for making ice chips of varied shapes for use in glasses of whiskey and water, and the like purposes. Ice is made using an ice-making vessel () for making a plank-like block of ice with a shaft () inserted in advance in the vessel, the shaft () having ribs (A) extending substantially radially from a rotating axis. Upon completion of the ice making, a gear unit () connected to the shaft () is driven by a motor to rotate the shaft (), which cracks and divides the plank-like ice block into ice chips of varied shapes.

Ice-making device

An ice tray includes a tray section and a heater. The tray section has a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The first face temporarily retains water and the water is cooled to make ice. The heater is unitarily molded with the tray section at the second face, and warms the tray section for the ice to come off the tray section.
