Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the refrigerating technical field, and in particular to a refrigerator with an ice maker.
  • cold air for making ice by a refrigerator comes from cold air generated around a freezing chamber/refrigerating chamber evaporator.
  • the cold air around the freezing chamber/refrigerating chamber evaporator is led into an ice maker via pipes, for implementing refrigeration and the ice-making.
  • This manner has a prominent defect, i.e. the ice maker uses evaporator(s) in other chambers of the refrigerator to implement the refrigeration and the ice-making, thereby causing excess heavy refrigerating load to the evaporator of the chamber in which it is located, which decreases the refrigerating effect of this chamber and also makes the ice maker incapable of quickly performing the refrigeration and the ice-making.
  • the ice maker uses the evaporators of other chambers for performing the refrigeration and the ice-making, when fault occurs in a refrigerating system of other chambers, for instance, fault in the evaporator, in the compressor, etc., not only the chamber cannot perform refrigeration but also the ice maker cannot perform refrigeration and the ice-making.
  • US20040237565A1 disclosed a refrigerator with an improved structure for supplying ices at an outside of a dispenser provided at a door.
  • the refrigerator includes a supplementary freezer, a cavity, an icemaker and a dispenser.
  • the supplementary freezer is provided in a cooling chamber of the refrigerator.
  • the cavity is provided in the door and is connected with the supplementary freezer when the door is closed.
  • the icemaker produces ices using cool air in the cooling chamber.
  • the dispenser is connected with the cavity provided at the door. In this case, the icemaker is provided in the supplementary freezer or in the cavity.
  • CA2614802A1 disclosed a refrigerator includes a first storage compartment defining a first interior volume.
  • a first evaporator is disposed in a first evaporator compartment and is configured to provide cool air to the first interior volume.
  • a second storage compartment defines a second interior volume, the second interior volume configured to be cooled by cool air received from the first interior volume.
  • a door is positionable to permit and prohibit access to the second interior volume through a front of the second interior volume.
  • a third interior volume is defined in an interior of the door.
  • a second evaporator is disposed in a second evaporator compartment and is configured to provide cool air to the third interior volume.
  • An air flow channel extends from the second evaporator compartment to the third interior volume.
  • a fan is disposed in the third interior volume.
  • a mold is disposed in the third interior volume and is configured to receive water and to retain the water during cooling of the water.
  • US20080127670A1 disclosed a refrigerator having an ice making apparatus installed at a cooling chamber door that opens/closes a cooling chamber.
  • the refrigerator includes a body having a cooling chamber therein, a cooling chamber door to open/close the cooling chamber, and an ice making apparatus installed in the cooling chamber door to make ice.
  • An ice making evaporator is provided in the ice making apparatus to independently supply the ice making apparatus with cooling air and an ice making evaporator chamber, in which an ice making evaporator is installed, is provided adjacent to the cooling chamber door while being partitioned from the cooling chamber.
  • EP1653179A2 disclosed an ice making and dispensing system suitable for making and dispensing ice through the refrigerator compartment door of a bottom freezer refrigerator.
  • the ice maker is positioned in an insulated sub-compartment in the refrigerator compartment maintained at a temperature below 0° C.
  • An insulated ice cube storage bin and ice dispenser are positioned on the refrigerator compartment door for dispensing ice cubes through the face of the refrigerator compartment door.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with an ice maker independently performing refrigeration and making ice.
  • the present invention provides a refrigerator with an ice maker according to claim 1, inter alia comprising:
  • the door body has a cavity in which the ice maker is located; the cavity further comprises an ice container located therein for storing the ice; the refrigerator further comprises a distributor provided in the door body for communicate with the cavity.
  • the refrigerating system is in the form of a compressor refrigerating system.
  • the refrigerating system is in the form of a compressor refrigerating system that comprises a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, capillary tubes and a drier filter; the door body further comprises another cavity in which the compressor is provided; the evaporator is provided around the ice maker to provide cold air for refrigeration.
  • the another cavity is provided in a lower portion of the door body; and the cavity accommodating the ice maker is provided in an upper portion of the door body.
  • the condenser may be provided in a lower layer of an outer surface of the door body.
  • the compressor refrigerating system may be provided in the door body.
  • the ice maker As the ice maker is provided with a separate refrigerating system in the present invention, it will not be affected by refrigerating conditions of other chambers and can make the ice independently.
  • the ice maker and its refrigerating system are provided on the door body, it also simplifies operation of the user for taking out ice.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic structure diagram of the refrigerator with an ice maker of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, it comprises a machine chamber 1, a freezing chamber 3, a refrigerating chamber 2 and an ice-taking opening 4.
  • the machine chamber 1 is divided into the freezing chamber 3 and the refrigerating chamber 2, and the ice-taking opening 4 is provided on the door body of the refrigerating chamber 2.
  • the refrigerating chamber 2 comprises a door body 21 and a space enclosed by the door body 21; and the freezing chamber 3 comprises a door body 31 and a space enclosed by the body 31.
  • FIG 2 shows a vertical sectional view of the door body of the refrigerating chamber according to the embodiment shown in Figure 1 .
  • the door 21 comprises a first cavity 210 in the upper portion and a second cavity 220 in the lower portion.
  • the first cavity 210 is provided therein with an ice maker 211 (merely illustratively shown in the figure) which is provided in the top portion of the first cavity 210.
  • the first cavity 210 is further provided with an ice distributor 212 located in the lower portion of the first cavity 210.
  • the ice distributor 212 is communicated with the ice-taking opening 4 in Figure 1 , so as to convey ice blocks to the ice-taking opening 4 under triggering of the user after the ice maker 211 completes the ice-making.
  • the second cavity 220 is provided therein with a compressor 221.
  • the door body 21 further comprises an evaporator 231, a drier filter 232 and a condenser 233.
  • the evaporator 231 is close to the first cavity 210, and the condenser 233 is close to an outer surface 200 of the door body 21. Particularly, the condenser 233 is located in the lower layer of the outer surface 200.
  • a heat insulation layer 201 provided between the evaporator 231 and the condenser 233 .
  • the condenser 233 is connected to the compressor 221.
  • the ice maker is provided in the door body of the refrigerator.
  • a semiconductor refrigerating plate is provided around the ice maker that performs the refrigeration and makes ice by means of the semiconductor refrigerating plate.
  • the semiconductor refrigerating plate can be provided in the ice-making chamber where the ice maker is located. That is, taking the embodiment as shown in Figure 2 as an example, if the semiconductor refrigerating plate is used to perform the refrigeration, the semiconductor refrigerating plate can be placed in a position in the first cavity 210 close to the ice maker 211.
  • the semiconductor refrigerating plate is conventional means in the art, details will not be given herein.
