Abstract:
The present invention is provided with: a refrigerator housing in which an ice making compartment for storing ice is formed; an ice making device for producing ice, said device being provided inside the refrigerator housing; and a control device for controlling the ice making device. The ice making device includes: an ice-making-tray holding frame provided in the ice making compartment; an ice making tray removably provided on the ice-making-tray holding frame; a detection mechanism for detecting the state of attachment of the ice making tray; and a driving mechanism for causing the ice making tray to rotate, said mechanism being controlled by the control device. The ice making tray includes: a tray part; a handle part provided at one end of the tray part; a shaft part for rotatably connecting the tray part and the handle part; and a locking part provided on the handle part, it being possible for said locking part, when installed on the ice-making-tray holding frame, to slide between a first position for interfering with the ice-making-tray holding frame and a second position for not interfering with the ice-making-tray holding frame. The locking part is configured so as to restrict the movement of the shaft part in the rotation direction when in the second position and to release the restriction when in the first position.
