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.
  • 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, 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 semiconductor refrigerating system.
  • the compressor refrigerating system comprises a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, capillary tubes and a dry filter.
  • the refrigerating system 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 is provided in a lower layer of an outer surface of the door body.
  • a semiconductor refrigerating device of the semiconductor refrigerating system is provided around the ice maker.
  • the compressor refrigerating system is 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.
  • the principle of the present invention is illustrated briefly.
  • refrigeration is performed and ice is made by providing an independent refrigerating system for the ice maker, therefore the load of generating cold air by using other chambers can be reduced.
  • the function thereof does not depend upon the operational situations of other refrigerating systems of the refrigerator.
  • 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.
  • Use of the semiconductor refrigerating plate on the one hand, can reduce the weight of the door body, and on the other hand can retrench the space of the door body.
  • the ice maker is provided in the freezing chamber or the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator. Moreover, the ice maker performs the refrigeration and makes the ice by a complete set of refrigerating system of its own.
  • the complete refrigerating system can be the existing compressor refrigerating system or semiconductor refrigerating system, etc.
