Abstract:
A refrigerator of the present invention comprises: a storage room in which a storage space is formed; a door for opening and shutting the storage room; an ice storage unit which is provided in the storage room or the door and in which an ice storage space is formed; a crushing member which is rotatably provided at the ice storage unit and crushes the ice stored in the ice storage space; a driving unit which provides rotational power for the crushing member and includes a rotary shaft to be rotated in a first direction; a first power transmission unit which is coupled with the rotary shaft and is rotated in a second direction; and a second power transmission unit which is separably coupled with the first power transmission unit and transmits the power of the first power transmission unit to the crushing member. The refrigerator of the present invention has remarkable industrial applicability since the width of the ice bank can be reduced by dividing the power transmission unit, which transfers the power of a motor unit to the crushing member, into a plurality of power transmission units.
