Auger in ice bin and refrigerating machine having the same

An auger assembly in an ice bin of an ice maker having an ice making device configured to generate ice cubes of a full size, comprising:

• a casing defining an ice storage chamber at an opened upper surface thereof, a discharge opening at a lower surface thereof so as to discharge ice, and a communication hole disposed at a side surface of a transfer chamber and positioned between the ice storage chamber and the discharge opening so as to pass ice;
• a rotational shaft configured to transfer a rotational force;
• and
• an auger rotatably mounted inside the casing and configured to rotate based on the rotational force transferred by the rotational shaft, wherein the augur comprises:
• a shaft portion coupled to the rotational shaft so as to receive the rotational force;
• at least two spiral-shaped transfer blades each spirally protruding from an outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion in a circumferential direction, two adjacent of the spiral-shaped transfer blades being separated from each other and shaped to provide a space there between that is sized to accommodate at least an ice cube of full size from within the ice storage chamber, the spiral-shaped transfer blades being configured to rotate with the shaft portion so as to transfer, based on blade rotation, the ice cube through the communication hole of the casing;
• and
• a disk-shaped reinforcing portion connected to an end of each of the spiral-shaped transfer blades and the shaft portion of the auger.
