As shown in Figure 1, detect the storage ice detecting device 40 that the ice cube M be housed among the 12a of ice storing cabin becomes full ice state and be arranged on horizontal walls 16b place, the rear of the collection unit 32a of this horizontal walls 16b in ice making water tank 32.Storage ice detecting device 40 consists essentially of: be attached to can adorn/removable mode is arranged on the reserved unit 42 at horizontal walls 16b place, as the travel switch 44 of testing agency, be arranged on the detection part 46 of reserved unit 42 places, swing, and be arranged on detection part 46 places, as the magnet 38 of detected mechanism.
As shown in Figure 5, horizontal walls 16b disposes a pair of guiding part separated from one another on width 50,50.Flange part 42c, 42c are arranged on the left and right sides of reserved unit 42, and this reserved unit 42 is configured to can spur forwards, backwards when flange part 42c, 42c are supported by guide portion 50,50.As shown in Figure 3, reserved unit 42 forms upward the case shape of opening with the place ahead, and the installation portion 42a of upward opening is formed at the central authorities of the inner bottom surface of reserved unit 42 on width.Travel switch 44 is installed on the installation portion 42a.In the inner front side of reserved unit 42, bearing (bearing) 42b is formed at the both sides of reserved unit 42 on width, and detection part 46 supports as follows pivotally, that is, but by two bearing 42b, 42b swing.
When ice cube M abuts against on the check-out console 52 and is under pressure, be positioned at entopic detection part 46 and rearward swing, magnet 48 is upward displacement and arrive the full ice detection position (position of double dot dash line among Fig. 3) that separates with travel switch 44 obliquely.When being removed by the state of ice cube M compressing, detection part 46 swing forwards under the effect of gravity is shifted and gets back to the normal position.
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, detection part 46 in the storage ice detecting device 40 is positioned at the lower position, lower end than the ice making sheets 26 of downward flow type ice making unit 18, thereby when storage ice detecting device 40 carries out full ice when detecting, the storage level of ice cube M is no more than the lower end of ice making sheets 26.Detection part 46 is constructed as follows, that is, detection part 46 is positioned at the rear of the collection unit 32a of ice making water tank 32, and, the lower end of detection part 46 is positioned at the position higher than the lower end of collection unit 32a, therefore can not observe directly by the conveying end 20a that is formed in the ice house 12.In other words, the collection unit 32a of ice making water tank 32 is between conveying end 20a and detection part 46, make detection part 46 be hidden in after the collection unit 32a, and, storage ice detecting device 40 is arranged on such position, and the spoon that inserts by conveying end 20a in this position etc. can not touch detection part 46 easily.
[operation of embodiment]
Next, will the operation according to the downward flow type ice making machine of this embodiment be described.Suppose that when the detection part 46 in the storage ice detecting device was positioned at the normal position, controlling organization judged that the 12a of ice storing cabin is not in full ice state.
When ice making was operated, the ice making water that is housed in the ice making water tank 32 was extracted into ice making water ejector 34 by circulating pump, and supplied to each ice making zone 30 of two ice making sheets 26,26 by ice making water ejector 34. Ice making sheets 26,26 and in evaporation tube 28 coolant circulating carry out heat exchange and be forced to the cooling, the ice making water that supplies to the ice making zone 30 of ice making sheets 26,26 begins progressively to freeze at the contacted position of line part 28a of water and evaporation tube 28.The ice making water that does not freeze that falls from ice making sheets 26,26 is collected in the ice making water tank 32 by the through hole 38a that leads ice parts 38, and circulation is to supply to ice making sheets 26,26 once more.
When detecting through the scheduled time and float switch when specifying water level, controlling organization stops the ice making operation and also starts the deicing operation.As shown in Figure 2, when ice making operation is finished, in the ice making zone 30 of ice making sheets 26, generated on above-below direction separate, with the corresponding a plurality of ice cube M in contact site of the line part 28a of ice making sheets 26 and evaporation tube 28.
When the deicing operation start, switch freezing system valve so that hot gas in evaporation tube 28, circulate, and feed water valve opened by deicing water injector 36 deicing water being supplied to the back side of ice making sheets 26,26, thereby heating ice making sheets 26 is to melt the icing face with ice cube M.Note that equally, fall to the deicing water on the back side of ice making sheets 26,26, collect in the ice making water tank 32 by the through hole 38a that leads ice parts 38 with ice making water, and as next time ice making water.
When ice making sheets 26 was heated by deicing operation, the icing face thawing between ice cube M and the ice making sheets 26 made ice cube M begin landing on the ice making sheets 26.Be slipped to the protuberance 26b that ice cube M on the ice making sheets 26 slips over the below, make ice cube M separate reliably, and separate from the ice making face of ice making sheets 26.Separate the ice cube M that falls from ice making sheets 26 and drop on the corresponding inclined plane of leading ice parts 38, and enter among the 32a of ice storing cabin along the inclined plane landing.In this embodiment, the ice cube M that falls from two ice making sheets 26,26 discharges at fore-and-aft direction by the inclined plane of leading ice parts 38, and disperses storage in the wide region of the 12a of ice storing cabin.
When all ice cube M separate and because of hot air temperature rises from ice making sheets 26,26, temperature testing organization detects deicing when finishing temperature, and controlling organization stops the deicing operation, starts the ice making operation then.
When above-mentioned ice making-deicing operation is carried out repeatedly, and when preserving ice cube M in the 12a of ice storing cabin and arriving the planned position of storage ice detecting device 40, ice cube M abuts against on the check-out console 52 of detection part 46 from the front side.When check-out console 52 was compeled in ice cube M the past side pressure, detection part 46 was swung backward around supporting axis 54,54.Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, the magnet 48 that is arranged on detection part 46 places separates from travel switch 44.At this moment will completely ice signal from travel switch 44 and be input to controlling organization.Then, controlling organization judges that the 12a of ice storing cabin has reached full ice state, and carries out control to stop ice making deicing operation.
Remain among the 12a of ice storing cabin moving along rail portion 22a, 22a by opening-closing door 24, when opening conveying end 20a, the available spoon that inserts the 12a of ice storing cabin by conveying end 20a etc. take out ice cube.Because the detection part 46 of storage in the ice detecting device 40 is hidden in the rear of the collection unit 32a of ice making water tank 32,, thereby makes it possible to prevent to store ice detecting device 40 and be damaged so when taking out ice cube M, spoon etc. can not contact with detection part 46 easily.
When making storage reduce owing to take out ice cube M from the 12a of ice storing cabin, and when removed by the oppression state of ice cube M detection part 46, detection part 46 is side oscillation and displacement forward under the effect of gravity, makes magnet 48 get back to the normal position near travel switch 44.At this moment, travel switch 44 is no longer exported and is completely iced signal, thereby controlling organization is judged the storage of the 12a of ice storing cabin medium floe M from completely ice state minimizing, and carries out control and restart ice making deicing operation.
When deflection left side, position of taking out ice cube M from the 12a of ice storing cabin or right side, deflection left side, top or the right side of the peak shape MO of the ice cube M of accumulation.In this case, because the check-out console 52 of detection part 46 extends upward at right and left with predetermined length in the 12a of ice storing cabin in the storage ice detecting device 40, as Fig. 2 or shown in Figure 4, even make the top of peak shape MO become the stacking states on deflection left side or right side, ice cube M and check-out console 5 contacted states are also kept.This can be avoided such situation, that is, although ice storing cabin 12a inside is in full ice state substantially, storage ice detecting device 40 does not detect full ice state yet, thereby has avoided restarting ice making-deicing operation.That is to say that ice cube M is not stacked into the planned position place of the ice making sheets 26 of a side of not taking out ice cube M, thereby prevent to take place in the downward flow type ice making unit 18 to repeat ice making and fault.
