Here, apart from the teeth having the same teeth or sprockets, the friction wheels can be arranged instead, in which case the belts can be arranged instead of the chains.

On the other hand, direct connection between the gear, sprocket or friction wheel of the ice-making housing 40 and the gear or sprocket or friction wheel of the drive motor 70 is also possible, instead of indirect connection by a chain or a belt.

When the drive motor 70 operates, the ice-making housing 40 rotates.

Below the ice-making housing 40, an ice-making water tray 80 containing ice-making water for making ice is provided.

When the surface of the ice-making housing 40 slightly touches the water contained in the ice-making water tray 80, the water contacted to the surface of the ice-making housing 80 is quenched and freezed.

2 is an exploded perspective view of the ice-making housing 40 and the fixing unit 30 of the capillary tube for refrigerant.

The ice making housing 40 is provided with a space portion 41 therein and a cylindrical shape having an inlet 42 formed on one side thereof.

On the inner circumferential surface of the inlet 42 is formed a thread 43 to which a thread 314 on the surface of the capillary tube fixing unit 30 for refrigerant is coupled.

The capillary tube fixing unit 30 for the refrigerant is divided into a main body 31, a fixing portion 32 and a recovery flow path 33.

Here, the body portion 30 is a portion through which the capillary tube 20 for the refrigerant is inserted and can be fixed in position.

The fixing portion 32 is provided on the inside or the outer surface of the body 31 to fix the refrigerant capillary tube 20 and keep the position of the discharge port of the refrigerant capillary tube 20 constant.

As described later, it is preferable that the fixing part 32 is implemented as a fixing groove of a width or a size to which the capillary tube 20 for the refrigerant can be inserted and fixed.

The recovery flow path 33 is formed inside the body portion 31. The recovery flow path 33 includes an inflow hole 331 formed on the outer surface of the body portion 31 and a recovery guide 331 formed on one side of the body portion 31. [ And serves to connect the pipe 332.

That is, the refrigerant to be recovered flows into the inflow hole 331, and then flows out to the recovered guide pipe 332 through the recovery flow path 32. [

A recovery pipe 50 is connected to the recovery guide pipe 332, and the recovery pipe 50 is connected to a compressor (not shown).

The body 31 is divided into a head 311, a cover 312, and a main body 313.

The capillary tube 20 for the refrigerant is inserted and fixed to the head part 311, and the recovered guide tube 332 is positioned at one side thereof.

2, two capillary tubes 20 for refrigerant are drawn into the head 311, but the number of the capillaries 20 can be changed.

The cover portion 312 is disposed on the side of the head portion 311 and is formed larger than the diameter of the main body portion 313 or the head portion 311. [

The cover portion 312 prevents the refrigerant in the ice-making housing 401 from escaping to the inlet portion by blocking the inlet 42 of the ice-making housing 40 when the body portion 31 is inserted into the ice- do.

On the other hand, an inlet hole 331 is formed in the main body portion 313, and a recovery flow path 33 is formed in the main body portion 313.

On the other hand, a threaded portion 314 and a sealing portion 315 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 313 in the vicinity of the cover portion 312. The threaded portion 314 is engaged with the threaded portion 43 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inlet 42 of the ice-making housing 40.

The sealing portion 315 prevents the refrigerant from leaking by blocking the rim of the inlet 42 of the ice-making housing 40 when the capillary fixing unit 30 for the refrigerant is coupled to the ice-making housing 40.

The fixing part 32 may be formed as a fixing groove formed to be long along the longitudinal direction of the main body part, and the capillary tube 20 for refrigerant is fixed to the fixing part 32 in the longitudinal direction thereof.

At this time, it is preferable that the discharge port of the capillary tube for refrigerant 20 is disposed to face the radial direction of the main body portion 313. This is because the refrigerant is effectively sprayed into the space portion 41 inside the ice-making housing 40.

The fixing part 32 may be realized by one fixing groove or by a plurality of mutually spaced fixing grooves. That is, it is also preferable that the number of the capillary tubes 20 for coolant inserted into the head portion 311 is adjusted.

An inflow hole 331 is provided at a position away from the fixing portion 32.

A recovery passage 33 is provided in the interior of the body 31 in the form of an empty space such that the empty space 331 communicates with the recovery passage 33 and the recovery passage 33 again communicates with the head 311 And communicates with the collected collection guide pipe 332.

Accordingly, the base-supplied refrigerants pushed by the newly supplied refrigerant flow into the inflow hole 331, move along the recovery flow passage 33, and then escape in the direction of the recovery guide pipe 332.

The recovery flow path 33 is a space formed in the longitudinal direction in the body portion 31 so that the capillary tube 20 for the refrigerant inserted into the head portion 311 is disposed along the recovery flow path 33 and the body portion 31 And may be disposed on the fixing part 32 by being bent.

Therefore, a through hole 333 through which the capillary 20 for the refrigerant can pass is formed at the end of the recovery flow path 33.

The refrigerant to be recovered can be introduced not only through the inflow hole 331 but also through the through hole 333 to enter the recovery flow path 33.

3, a space portion 41 is formed between the inner surface of the ice-making housing 40 and the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 31 of the refrigerant capillary fixing unit 30. As shown in Fig.

When the refrigerant is discharged from the capillary tube 20 for the refrigerant fixed to the fixed portion 32 of the capillary tube fixing unit 30 for the refrigerant, the refrigerant fills the space portion 41.

The refrigerant is a temperature that is remarkably lower than 0 ° C because the refrigerant has been decompressed and expanded by the coiled capillary or the electronic expansion valve before being introduced into the capillary tube for refrigerant 20.

Therefore, the surface temperature of the ice-making housing 40 is remarkably lowered by the heat conduction. Accordingly, when the ice-making water in the ice-making water tray 80 touches the surface of the ice-making housing, the heat is absorbed and is rapidly cooled to freeze on the surface of the ice-making housing 40.

Meanwhile, the refrigerant that has been discharged by the newly discharged refrigerant is pushed. The refrigerant discharged through the inlet 331, the recovery flow path 33, and the recovery guide pipe 332 is introduced into the capillary tube fixing unit 30 and the ice-making housing 40.

Here, reference numerals 201 and 202 denote side walls of the main body.

On the other hand, a first power transmitting portion 61 such as a gear, a sprocket, or a friction wheel is provided on one side of the ice-making housing 40.

The first and second power transmission parts 61 and 62 are provided with a power transmitting member 62 such as a belt or a chain 63, or may be directly coupled and connected.

4A and 4B illustrate another embodiment of the fixing portion 32 formed on the body portion 31. As shown in FIGS.

4A shows a plurality of fixing portions 32 which are formed as fixing grooves along the surface of the body portion 31 and each of the fixing portions 32 has a capillary tube 20 for the refrigerant fixed thereto.

Here, the capillary tube 20 for refrigerant extends to the through hole 333 along the recovery flow path 33 and is bent and seated on the respective fixing portions 32.

On the other hand, in FIG. 4B, it is shown that the fixing portion 32 is not formed in a long groove shape as shown in FIG. 4A or FIG. 2 but is provided in a hole shape.

Therefore, the capillary tube 20 for refrigerant can pass through the hole and escape to the outside of the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 31. The refrigerant capillary tube 20 is disposed along a part of the recovery flow path 33 until reaching the hole.

4A and 4B, the recovery flow path 33 is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the body part 31 and the inflow hole 331 for introducing the refrigerant is provided adjacent to the recovery flow path 33. The recovery guide pipe 332, To guide the recovery of the refrigerant.

Hereinafter, the ice making operation according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

5, deicing water W is applied to the surface of the ice-making housing 40 while the deicing water W is being supplied to the deicing water tray 80. As shown in FIG.

As described above, since the ice-making housing 40 is cooled by the coolant contained in the ice-making housing 40, when the ice-making water W touches the surface of the ice-making housing 40, a thin ice film I is formed.

On the other hand, the ice-making housing 40 rotates in the direction of the shaving cutter A by the drive motor 70, and the shaving cutter 90 is disposed in contact with the ice-making housing 40, It plays a role of cutting thin ice.
