Description

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the arrangement structure of a temperature detection means according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 9 are schematic configurations of an ice making mechanism in an automatic ice making machine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows an initial state when the second ice-making compartment is closed with respect to the first ice-making compartment and ice-making operation is started, and FIG.
The figure shows the state in which hollow spherical ice is formed in both ice-making chambers as ice-making progresses, and Figure 4 shows the state in which almost solid spherical ice is formed in both ice-making chambers at a stage when ice-making is approaching completion. Figure 5 shows a state in which ice making is almost completed and solid spherical ice is formed in both ice making chambers, and Figure 6 shows a state in which the water level of ice making water in the tank is decreasing. This shows the state in which ice making is completed and the water supply valve is opened, and the water that overflows from the dam due to the rise in the water level in the water reservoir flows down along the back of the ice guide plate and is discharged from the drain tray to the outside of the machine. ,
Figure 7 shows that the actuator motor is energized and the second
Tilt the ice making compartment clockwise to open it and move the ice guide plate to the second position.
Figure 8 shows the state in which the ice cubes are collapsed onto the top surface of the ice-making compartment, blocking each of the second ice-making compartments. Figure 8 shows the state in which spherical ice falls from the first ice-making compartment and slides down the ice guide plate located slanted directly below it. Figure 9 shows that after deicing is completed,
The ice guide plate is also returned to its original position as the second ice-making compartment begins to rotate counterclockwise. Figure 10 shows the back side of the second ice-making compartment shown in Figure 1 when viewed vertically.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] (1) An automatic ice-making machine that sprays ice-making water into an ice-making chamber to form ice cubes in the ice-making chamber, and recirculates the ice-making water that has not yet frozen. , a first ice-making compartment 11 is provided with an evaporator 14 on the back, is fixedly arranged inside the machine, and has a number of first ice-making compartments 13 of a desired shape that open downward; a second ice-making chamber 12 formed with a large number of second ice-making chambers 15 that are arranged so as to be tiltable and separate and have a desired shape that allows each of the first ice-making chambers 13 to be closed correspondingly from below during ice-making operation; The temperature detecting means _Th3 detects the temperature of the second ice making chamber 12 during operation and controls the second ice making chamber 12 to be tilted away from the first ice making chamber ₁₁ . 2. An arrangement structure for a temperature detection means in an automatic ice maker, characterized in that it is configured to tilt integrally with an ice maker 12. (2) The temperature detection means Th ₃ includes a main body 80 that emits an electric signal, a temperature sensing section 81 provided independently for the main body 80, and a capillary reach tube 82 that communicates and connects the main body 80 and the temperature sensing section 81. A temperature-sensing section 81 is disposed in the second ice-making compartment 12, and a water tray 38 is disposed below the second ice-making compartment 12 and tilts integrally with the second ice-making compartment 12. An arrangement structure for temperature detection means in an automatic ice maker according to claim 1, wherein a main body 80 is provided.
