The refrigerator 100 may be a double-door refrigerator, and of course, the refrigerator 100 may also be a single-door refrigerator or a triple-door refrigerator, and the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the refrigerator 100 as a double-door refrigerator as an example. The refrigerator 100 may include a door 10, an ice making device 20, and an ice taking device 30. The ice making device 20 may be provided in the refrigerator 100, and in particular, the ice making device 20 may be provided inside the door 10. The ice-picking device 30 may also be disposed on the door 10, and specifically, the ice-picking device 30 may be disposed outside the door 10. The ice making device 20 makes ice in the refrigerator 100, the ice taking device 30 is connected with the ice making device 20 through the door 10 of the refrigerator 100 to take out ice cubes made by the ice making device 20, the door 10 of the refrigerator 100 can be used as a connecting body of the ice making device 20 and the ice taking device 30, and the door 10, the ice making device 20 and the ice taking device 30 are matched in structure to achieve the purpose that the made ice cubes can be taken out when the refrigerator 100 is not opened.

In the related art, an ice making device of a refrigerator is generally disposed in a storage compartment such as a refrigerating compartment or a freezing compartment of the refrigerator. The ice making device is arranged in the freezing chamber or the refrigerating chamber, so that the ice making device occupies the space of the storage chamber, the storage space of the refrigerator is reduced, and a user has to open the refrigerator door when taking ice cubes, so that the refrigerator is more power-consuming. In the refrigerator 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application, the ice making device 20 is installed inside the door 10 of the refrigerator 100, so that the storage space of the refrigerator 100 is not occupied, the storage space of the refrigerator 100 is indirectly increased, and a user does not need to open the refrigerator door 10 when taking ice cubes, thereby avoiding extra power consumption of the refrigerator 100.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the ice making device 20 may include an ice maker 22 and an ice bank 24. The ice maker 22 is disposed above the ice bank 24, the ice bank 24 is opened with an ice receiving opening 242 facing the ice maker 22, and ice cubes made by the ice maker 22 can fall into the ice bank 24 through the ice receiving opening 242. The ice bank 24 is connected to an ice taking device 30 so that a user can take ice cubes stored in the ice bank 24 through the ice taking device 30.

It should be noted that the drawings of the embodiments of the present application are merely exemplary, and the structure of the ice making device 20 is not limited thereto, and may include other components. For example, the ice making device 20 may further include an ice maker bracket 21, an ice bank bracket 23, and an ice maker core cover 25. The ice maker core cover 25 is covered on the ice maker 22, the ice maker 22 is mounted on the ice maker support 21, and the ice bank 24 is mounted on the ice bank support 23. The ice maker support 21 and the ice bank support 23 are arranged side by side on the door 10 so that the ice maker 22 and the ice bank 24 are mounted on the door 10. The ice maker 22 and the ice storage box 24 are respectively arranged on the ice maker support 21 and the ice storage box support 23 and are arranged on the door body 10, so that the ice maker 22 and the ice storage box 24 are both detachable relative to the door body 10, and the disassembly and assembly maintenance of the ice maker 22 and the disassembly and assembly cleaning of the ice storage box 24 are more flexible and convenient. In addition, the ice bank bracket 23 is located at a side of the ice maker bracket 21 away from the top of the refrigerator 100 such that the ice maker bracket 21 is located above the ice bank bracket 23, thereby allowing the ice maker 22 to be located above the ice bank 24, so that ice cubes made by the ice maker 22 can fall into the ice bank 24 through the ice receiving opening 242.

The heating duct 223 may be connected to a water outlet of a water inlet duct (not shown in the drawings), and water is introduced into the ice making housing 222 through the water inlet duct and the heating duct 223. The heating pipe 223 may be made of, but is not limited to, a metal material, a heating element (not shown in the figure) may be wound outside the heating pipe 223, and the heating of the heating pipe 223 by the heating element may avoid the problem that water in the heating pipe 223 is frozen to block water flow, so as to prevent the water in the heating pipe 223 from being frozen to make the water unable to flow into the ice making box 222 or the water in the heating pipe 223 is frozen to make the water flow smaller.

The ice bank support 23 may be integrally formed with the door 10, or the ice bank support 23 may be manufactured separately from the door 10 and disposed on the door 10. For example, the ice bank support 23 may be connected to the door 10 by a screw connection, the ice bank support 23 may be connected to the door 10 by a snap-fit connection, or the ice bank support 23 may be connected to the door 10 by other connection structures or a matching manner of the connection structures, and the specific connection manner between the ice bank support 23 and the door 10 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
