         5 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner wall of the shell body is the inner wall of the shell body of the refrigerating chamber. 
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the ice-making chamber is provided at an opening of the refrigerating chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the ice-making chamber comprises an outer shell of the ice-making chamber, in which there are an ice maker and an ice storage container below the ice maker provided; and an air inlet and an air outlet are further provided on the outer shell of the ice-making chamber. 
     
     
         8 . The refrigerator according to  claim 7 , wherein the air inlet or air outlet is provided on a top portion or a side portion of the outer shell of the ice-making chamber. 
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , further comprising a first pipeline which guides cold air around an evaporator to the ice-making chamber and is provided in a wall of the shell body. 
     
     
         10 . The refrigerator according to  claim 9 , wherein the evaporator is provided in the freezing chamber, and the ice-making chamber is provided in the refrigerating chamber; and the first pipeline is provided in a rear wall and a side wall of the shell body, or in a rear wall and a top wall thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The refrigerator according to  claim 10 , further comprising at least a fan which is located near an inlet of the first pipeline around the evaporator, or at an outlet of the first pipeline, or near the air inlet in the ice-making chamber. 
     
     
         12 . The refrigerator according to  claim 10 , further comprising a second pipeline which communicates the ice-making chamber and the freezing chamber to form a cold air loop of the ice-making chamber. 
     
     
         13 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , wherein the door body comprises an ice-distributing chamber with an ice-distributing mechanism provided therein; the ice-distributing chamber is provided with an ice-receiving opening which correspondingly contacts an ice-discharging opening of the ice-making chamber to receive ice. 
     
     
         14 . The refrigerator according to  claim 13 , wherein the ice-distributing chamber is located at a lower portion of the door body, the ice-making chamber corresponds to an upper portion of the door body; the ice-receiving opening is provided at a top portion of the ice-distributing chamber, and the ice-discharging opening is provided at a bottom portion of the ice-making chamber. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigerator according to  claim 7 , further comprising: a first pipeline, which guides cold air around an evaporator to the ice-making chamber, wherein the first pipeline has an inlet end provided around the evaporator and an outlet end communicating with the air inlet; and
 a second pipeline, which has an inlet end communicating with the air outlet and an outlet end communicating with the freezing chamber,   wherein the first pipeline and the second pipeline construct a cold air loop of the ice-making chamber.
