ABSTRACT:
An ice removing mechanism includes an ice tray having a fixing projection at one end thereof and a sliding projection at the other end thereof, a rotating guide plate having a fixing groove at one side thereof to guide the fixing projection of the ice tray inserted thereinto and a connecting shaft rotatably connected to an output shaft of a motor at the other side thereof, a fixing guide plate having a guide groove concentrically disposed to a center thereof, a twisting member disposed between the guide plates, and a movable stopper for preventing the ice tray from rocking from side to side. When the rotating guide plate is rotated, the sliding projection of the ice tray is rotated to slide along the sliding groove of the fixing guide plate, thereby pressing a bottom surface of the rotated ice tray. As a result, the ice cubes are effectively removed from the ice tray.
