Is maintained.

Recently, the refrigerator has an ice maker that automatically performs a series of processes related to ice making without user interaction, and a dispenser that makes ice or water available outside the refrigerator. Various features are being added to make it available.

On the other hand, the ice produced in the conventional ice maker for refrigerators is made of a half moon, because the ice tray of the ice maker is limited in its form.

However, spherical ice is good for the user to see and eat, and there are many suggestions regarding the manufacture of spherical ice.

In the international application PCT / JP2001 / 07599, as shown in FIG. 1, the tray member 21 is mounted in the spherical mold 24 formed of the heat insulating

material layers

24a and 24b.

The ice can be taken out by evacuating the upper half 24a of the mold 24.

At this time, the ice is taken out in the state packed with the tray member 21, and after returning the ice to the mold 24 again.

In addition, it is understood that there is an inconvenience to be immersed in water or the like for taking out ice.

Meanwhile, in order to solve such a problem, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0781261 discloses a refrigerator ice maker capable of making ice cubes, and the technical thoughts are as follows.

Referring to Figures 2 to 3, the refrigerator ice maker described in the conventional patent is as follows.
