<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic ice-making machine and a refrigerator arranged to efficiently and precisely drive components. <P>SOLUTION: The automatic ice-making machine includes an ice tray for supplying water to make ice and a driving means for rotating the ice tray to drop ice. The driving means has a driving source in a space surrounded with a first case and a second case, and a speed reducing gear group for being rotated with the driving source. The speed reducing gear group has a first speed reducing gear rotated with the driving means, a second speed reducing gear rotated with the first speed reducing gear, and a third speed reducing gear rotated with the second speed reducing gear. Respective rotating shafts of the first speed reducing gear and the third speed reducing gear have the same shafts and are arranged to be overlapped in the direction of the rotating shafts. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
