Patent document 1: japanese patent laid-open No. 2006 and 349207

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

According to the refrigerator having the ice crusher as disclosed in patent document 1, ice cubes produced by the ice maker and crushed ice produced by crushing the ice cubes by the ice crusher can be provided. That is, according to the refrigerator, two kinds of ice different in size can be provided.

However, the refrigerator mounted with the ice crushing device has the following disadvantages. In order to prevent the user from accidentally touching the sharp blade of the ice crusher, a safety mechanism is required. Since the blade edge of the blade of the ice crushing device needs to be set thin, the blade edge may be damaged. In addition, the motor for rotating the knife may not be able to withstand the load and may fail.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a refrigerator capable of efficiently producing two types of ice having different sizes without using an ice crusher.

Means for solving the problems

The refrigerator of the present invention comprises: a body having a first chamber and a second chamber; a first ice-making mechanism having a first ice-making tray disposed inside the first compartment; a second ice-making mechanism having a second ice-making tray disposed inside the second compartment; and an ice ejector having a discharge port through which ice can be discharged, the temperature in the first compartment being maintained at a temperature lower than the temperature in the second compartment, the first ice tray being configured to produce first ice having a first size, the second ice tray being configured to produce second ice having a second size smaller than the first size, the second ice tray being located at a position higher than the discharge port, the ice ejector being capable of discharging the second ice through the discharge port.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

According to the present invention, by providing the first ice making mechanism and the second ice making mechanism, two kinds of ice having different sizes can be efficiently made without using an ice crushing device.
