Abstract (en)

An ice maker and a refrigerator having same. The ice maker comprises: a cooling part (40) having a heat dissipation device (10) and a metal piece (20); a liquid container (50) configured to store liquid; a liquid supply part (72) configured to supply liquid to the liquid container (50); a moving mechanism (60) configured to rotate and move the liquid container (50); and a control part (90). The metal piece (20) is mounted, so that a rod-shaped component (24) made of metal extends downward from a base end to the tip, and the rod-shaped component (24) is cooled by means of the heat dissipation device (10). The ice-making process is repeated multiple times under the control of the control part (90), and the following steps are carried out in the ice-making process: a liquid supply step, an ice making step, an avoidance step, a deicing step, and a recovering step. The ice maker is high in cooling efficiency, and can make ice within a short period of time.
