Ice making tray and refrigerator comprising the same

Abstract

There is disclosed an ice making tray that is able to perform ice-making and ice-ejecting conveniently, especially, that has no concern of ice-making water sparkling when ice-making water is introduced and of ice escaping when ice is ejected, and a refrigerant including the same. The ice making tray includes a case to define an exterior appearance thereof, an ice making part provided in a lower portion of the case, the ice making part comprising ice making spaces partitioned by a plurality of partition walls to accommodate ice-making water, an ice accommodating part provided in an upper portion of the case to accommodate ice ejected to a top of the ice making part, and an opening formed in a predetermined side of the case to introduce the ice-making water into the case or to discharge the ejected ice, and the refrigerator includes the ice making tray.

1 . An ice making tray comprising:
 a case to define an exterior appearance thereof;   an ice making part provided in a lower portion of the case, the ice making part comprising ice making spaces partitioned by a plurality of partition walls to accommodate ice-making water;   an ice accommodating part provided in an upper portion of the case to accommodate ice ejected to a top of the ice making part; and   an opening formed in a predetermined side of the case to introduce the ice-making water into the case or to discharge the ejected ice.   
     
     
         2 . The ice making tray according to  claim 1 , wherein a limit indication line is marked on the case to indicate a limit point of the ice-making water. 
     
     
         3 . The ice making tray according to  claim 2 , wherein the limit indication line is marked on the ice accommodating part. 
     
     
         4 . The ice making tray according to  claim 2 , wherein the ice-making water is not overflowing the ice making part, when the ice-making water is introduced to the limit indication line. 
     
     
         5 . The ice making tray according to  claim 2 , wherein the limit indication line is marked horizontal with respect to the opening. 
     
     
         6 . The ice making tray according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an opening and closing member rotatably provided in a predetermined side of the case to open and close the opening.   
     
     
         7 . The ice making tray according to  claim 6 , wherein the height of a lower portion of the opening and closing member is larger than the height of an upper portion of the ice making part. 
     
     
         8 . The ice making tray according to  claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal length of the opening is larger than the longitudinal length of the ice making part. 
     
     
         9 . The ice making tray according to  claim 1 , wherein a volume of the ice accommodating part is larger than a volume of the ice making part. 
     
     
         10 . The ice making tray according to  claim 1 , wherein the case is twistable and when the case is twisted, the ice accommodated in the ice making part is ejected to the ice accommodating part. 
     
     
         11 . A refrigerator comprising:
 a cabinet comprising a storage compartment to store storing objects therein;   a door coupled to the cabinet to open and close the storage compartment;   an ice making tray mounted in the cabinet or the door,   wherein the ice making tray comprises   a case to define an exterior appearance thereof;   an ice making part provided in a lower portion of the case, the ice making part comprising ice making spaces partitioned by a plurality of partition walls to accommodate ice-making water;   an ice accommodating part provided in an upper portion of the case to accommodate ice ejected to a top of the ice making part; and   an opening formed in a predetermined side of the case to introduce the ice-making water into the case or to discharge the ejected ice.   
     
     
         12 . The ice making tray according to  claim 11 , wherein further comprising:
 an opening and closing member rotatably provided in a predetermined side of the case to open and close the opening.   
     
     
         13 . The ice making tray according to  claim 11 , wherein the height of a lower portion of the opening and closing member is larger than the height of an upper portion of the ice making part. 
     
     
         14 . The ice making tray according to  claim 11 , wherein a limit indication line is marked on the ice accommodating part. 
     
     
         15 . The ice making tray according to  claim 14 , wherein the ice-making water is not overflowing the ice making part, when the ice-making water is introduced to the limit indication line.
