Abstract

PURPOSE: A freezing device of a refrigerator is provided to make ice with water filling an ice-making container by discharging cold air concentrically toward the ice-making container in a freezing compartment. CONSTITUTION: A couple of ice-making containers(100) are set at both sides of a freezer compartment(20) through mounting members(120). A rapid freezing unit(200) is mounted in the center of the freezer compartment to freeze water in the ice-making container by discharging cold air concentrically the ice-making container. The rapid freezing unit consists of a duct(210) for flowing cold air and plural cold air discharge fans(220) for discharging the cold air to the ice-making container through the duct. The cold air is sucked by a cooling fan and discharged to the freezer compartment through a cold air discharge port. A part of the cold air flows through the duct to be discharged concentrically to the ice-making container through the cold air discharge fans. The cold air freezes the water in the ice-making container within a short time. Therefore, a large amount of ice is used conveniently in summer.
