Abstract
A refrigerator includes an ice container storing the ice made in an ice making device and including an opening through which the ice is discharged and a carrying shaft carrying the stored ice to the opening; an outlet, into which ice carried through the opening is supplied, discharging the ice to an outside of the refrigerator; and a three rotating blades coupled with the carrying shaft and carrying the ice discharged from the opening to the outlet, wherein the outlet is arranged to deviate from an ice discharging axis of the opening.
Claims24
A refrigerator, comprising:
- an ice making device making ice;
- an ice container storing the ice made in the ice making device comprising:
- an opening through which the ice is discharged, and
- a carrying shaft carrying the ice to the opening;
- an outlet, into which the ice carried to the opening is supplied, discharging the ice to an outside of the refrigerator;
- and
- three rotating blades coupled with the carrying shaft and carrying the ice discharged from the opening to the outlet,
- wherein the outlet is arranged to deviate from an ice discharging axis of the opening.
A refrigerator, comprising:
- an ice container having an opening to discharge ice;
- a cover having an outlet discharging the ice, into which the ice discharged from the opening is supplied, to an outside of the refrigerator and an ice carrying path formed to carry the ice discharged from the opening to the outlet;
- a plurality of rotating blades to carry the ice discharged from the opening to the outlet through the ice carrying path;
- a supporting blade arranged adjacent to the outlet and supported to shave the ice;
- and
- an operating lever reciprocally moving between a first position in which ice cubes are discharged and a second position in which shaved ice is discharged.
A refrigerator, comprising:
- an ice container having an opening to discharge ice and a carrying shaft to carry the ice to the opening;
- a cover having an outlet discharging the ice, into which the ice discharged from the opening is supplied, to an outside of the refrigerator and an ice carrying path formed to carry the ice discharged from the opening to the outlet;
- a plurality of rotating blades coupled to the carrying shaft;
- and
- a supporting blade placed between the outlet and the opening and shaving the ice along with the rotating blades,
- wherein the outlet is arranged to deviate from an ice discharging axis of the opening, and the shaved ice and the ice cubes are discharged in one direction with respect to the supporting blade.
A ice supplying device, comprising:
- an ice container storing ice;
- an outlet, into which the ice is supplied, receiving ice from the ice container;
- and
- an ice carrying part carrying the ice from an internal portion of the ice container to the outlet, the ice carrying part moving the ice in a forward direction to an opening of the ice container and into the outlet.
A refrigerator, comprising:
- a refrigerating chamber cooling material in the refrigerating chamber above a freezing temperature;
- a freezing chamber cooling material in the freezing chamber at or below the freezing temperature;
- an ice container disposed within the freezing chamber and storing ice made in the freezing chamber;
- an outlet, into which the ice is supplied, receiving the ice from the ice container;
- and
- an ice carrying part carrying the ice from an internal portion of the ice container to the outlet, the ice carrying part moving the ice in a forward direction to an opening of the ice container and into the outlet.
