Due to the forced suction of the circulation fan (71), mJ holes (56) in the bottom wall (54) of the refrigerator compartment (5) are formed.
and into the refrigerator compartment (5), and each of the partition plates (55)
The top wall (57) is passed through the hole (56) of...
Since the air circulation path (7) returning from the communication part (57a) to the cooling ice compartment (6) circulates the inside of the refrigerator compartment CX, 5), the refrigerator compartment (5) can be heated with a small amount of water. Efficiency (high humidity cooling becomes possible. At this time, the flow rate of cold air circulating through the air circulation path (7) is determined by detecting the temperature by the sensor (53) provided in the refrigerator compartment (5), The fan (71) is driven according to this detected temperature to adjust the flow rate of cold air sent to the refrigerator compartment (5), so that the cooling of the refrigerator compartment (5) is always stable. It can be performed.

るのである。(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, in the ice making device according to the present invention, the ice making machine (2) is installed in the upper part of the main body casing (1), and the opening/closing door (31) is provided below the ice making machine (2). An ice storage compartment (3) from which ice can be taken out is provided, and a refrigerator compartment (5) equipped with an opening/closing door (51) is provided at the bottom of the main body casing (1). ) and the refrigerator compartment (5), there is provided a cooling water chamber (6) that receives and stores water in the ice storage compartment (3) and serves as a cooling source for the refrigerator compartment (5). An air circulation path (7) is provided between the cooling ice compartment (6) and the refrigerator compartment (5), and the cold air from the cooling ice compartment (6) is sucked into the circuit (7) and transferred to the refrigerator compartment (5). Since a circulation fan (71) for feeding the ice is provided, the ice storage chamber (3)
without melting the ice stored in the refrigerator compartment (5).
) can be cooled. That is, the cooling water chamber (6)
The cold air inside is forcibly sent to the refrigerator compartment (5) by the suction force of the circulation fan (71), and the air with a heat load returning to the cooling water compartment (6) flows out to the ice storage compartment (3). The ice that is stored in the ice storage compartment (3) is cooled by passing through the cooling ice compartment (6) and discharged to the refrigerator compartment (5) without cooling. Therefore, the ice stored in the ice storage compartment (3) is This allows water to be stored to a predetermined size without melting. Moreover, the cold air caused by the ice in the cooling ice compartment (6) is transferred to the refrigerator compartment (6) by a circulation fan (71).
Air circulation path (7) provided between 5) and the cooling ice compartment (6)
Since the water is circulated, the refrigerator compartment (5) can be cooled without melting the ice in the ice storage compartment (3), and the refrigerator compartment (5) can be efficiently cooled with a small amount of water. be.
