Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.
(first embodiment)
(integral constitution of Ice-making Unit)
First, the configuration of the ice-making unit 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Referring to fig. 1, an ice making unit 100 according to the present embodiment includes an ice making tray 110 for making a plurality of pieces of ice, and an ice making housing 120 for housing the ice making tray 110.
Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the ice-making unit 100 according to the present embodiment can be mounted on a door 200 of a refrigerator on a rear surface, for example, a right side surface thereof. Further, fig. 2 is a perspective view of the ice-making unit 100 mounted on a door 200 of the refrigerator. Fig. 3 is a left side surface of the ice-making unit 100 mounted on the door 200 of the refrigerator according to the first embodiment. Fig. 4 is a front view of the ice-making unit 100 installed at a door 200 of the refrigerator. The ice making unit 100 may be mounted on a shelf or a bottom of the refrigerator, as well as the door 200 of the refrigerator.
Referring to fig. 5, the ice making unit 100 according to the present embodiment is used by inserting the ice making tray 110 into the ice making housing 120. An upper cover 123 is mounted on an upper surface of the ice making case 120. The upper cover 123 is opened at the center thereof and serves as a water inlet before ice making. An ice bank 122 is attached to a lower portion of the ice bank 120 from the left. The ice generated from the ice making tray 110 drops into the ice storage bin 122.
An opening 121X is formed on the front surface of the upper portion of the ice making housing 120. The ice making tray 110 is inserted into the opening 121X from the front. The ice-making tray 110 includes an ice-making tray 111, cover members 112L and 112R, a rotation mechanism for the ice-making tray 111, and the like. In the present embodiment, the following configuration is provided: the ice making tray 110 is installed at the ice making housing 120, and when ice making is completed, a user rotates the rotation shaft 115 and the ice making tray 111 with respect to the ice making tray 110 and drops the ice to the ice storage housing 122.
Next, the ice tray 111 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 6, 7, and 8. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the ice tray 111 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 7 is a plan view showing the ice tray 111 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 8 is a sectional view showing the front surface of the ice tray 111 according to the embodiment. The ice-making tray 111 is alternately formed with a plurality of first lateral partitions 1111 and a plurality of second lateral partitions 1112 for dividing water injected into the ice-making tray 111 in a front-rear direction.
In addition, the ice-making tray 111 is alternately formed with a first longitudinal section 1113 and a second longitudinal section 1114 for dividing water injected into the ice-making tray 111 in the left and right direction. That is, in the present embodiment, the plurality of first horizontal partitions 1111 and the plurality of second horizontal partitions 1112 form two rows with the first vertical partitions 1113 and the second vertical partitions 1114 interposed therebetween. More specifically, the first section 1113 is formed at the forefront and the last of the ice making tray 111, and a plurality of second longitudinal sections 1114 and 1114 … … are formed therebetween.
A groove 1111X is formed at an upper portion of the first horizontal partition 1111 toward an inner side of the ice making tray 111. A groove 1112X is formed at an upper portion of the second transverse partition 1112 to an outer side of the ice making tray 111. A groove 1113X is formed in an upper portion of the first lateral segment 1113. No groove is formed in the upper portion of the second lateral segment 1113.
In this manner, since the grooves 1111X, 1112X, and 1113X are formed in the ice making tray 111, even if water is supplied from an arbitrary position, the water is rapidly diffused into all the partitions through the grooves 1111X, 1112X, and 1113X.
In the present embodiment, since the positions of the grooves 1111X and 1112X formed in the first transverse partition 1111 and the second transverse partition 1112 facing each other are different from each other, even if centrifugal force or inertial force is applied to the water in the ice tray 111 by the opening and closing operation of the door 200 when opening and closing the door 200, for example, the water can be prevented from passing through the grooves 1111X, 1112X and 1113X at once. That is, even if centrifugal force or the like is generated by the rotation of door 200, the water passing through groove 1111X collides with groove 1112X where second transverse partition 1112 is not formed and loses force, and the water passing through groove 1112X collides with groove 1111X where first transverse partition 1111 is not formed and loses power, so that the possibility of water splashing from the front end or the rear end of ice making tray 111 can be reduced.
Further, a wall surface 1115 is formed at the front end of the ice making tray 111 so that water is less likely to overflow the outside. The wall 1116 is formed at the rear end of the ice making tray 111 so that water hardly flows out of the outside. Even with this configuration, for example, when the door 200 is opened or closed, the possibility of water splashing from the front end or the rear end of the ice tray 111 can be reduced by centrifugal force or the like. A cover member described later may be attached to the right or left end of the ice making tray 111.
Next, referring to fig. 9, 10, and 11, the ice making tray 110 according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the ice making tray 110 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 10 is a plan view of the ice making tray 110 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 11 is a front cross-sectional view of the ice making tray 110 according to the present embodiment. The ice making tray 110 is coupled to a rear member 118 through a front member 117, and a right member 119R and a left member 119L. That is, the front member 117, the right member 119R, the rear member 118, and the left member 119L form a rectangular frame. The ice making tray 110 holds an ice making tray 111 inside the frame.
Then, the ice making tray 111 is rotatably held by the front and rear members 117 and 118. More specifically, the rear surface of the rotating shaft 115 rotatably held in the front member 117 is coupled to the front portion of the ice making tray 111. After the supplied water becomes a plurality of pieces of ice, the user rotates the ice making tray 111 by rotating the rotation shaft 115 and drops the ice to the ice storage case 122.
More specifically, an abutment member 116 is installed at the rear of the ice-making tray 111, and when the user rotates the ice-making tray 111 by 180 °, the abutment member 116 collides with the rear member 118, and the rear of the ice-making tray 111 becomes non-rotatable. As a result, the ice-making tray 111 is twisted, and the ice on the ice-making tray 111 is separated from the ice-making tray 111 and falls into the ice storage case 122.
Particularly in the present embodiment, the lid member 112R is attached to the upper surface of the right end portion of the ice making tray 111 so as to face upward. An upward facing cover member 112L is also attached to the upper surface of the left end portion of the ice making tray 111. The covers 112L and 112R make it difficult for water supplied to the ice tray 111 to splash in the left-right direction of the ice tray 110.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 9 to 12, the covers 112L and 112R are formed in a shape along a circle C having a radius equal to the distance from the rotation axis of the ice tray 111 to the right end or the left end of the ice tray 111, with the outer peripheries of the covers 112L and 112R forming a center O of the rotation axis of the ice tray 111 so that the covers 112L and 112R do not collide with the inside of the ice tray 120 when the ice tray 111 rotates.
Therefore, without increasing the size of the ice making housing 120, splashing of water from the ice making tray 111 can be reduced.
The outer peripheries of the front and rear wall surfaces 1115, 1116 may be formed along the circle C. At this time, the outer peripheries of the front and rear wall surfaces 1115, 1116 may be shaped to extend along the circle C to a height substantially equal to the height of the adjacent lid members 112L, 112R, or may be shaped such that the upper portion of the height of the lid members 112L, 112R is horizontally cut. This reduces splashing of water from the ice tray 111, and makes it difficult for the ice tray to be twisted.
In the present embodiment, the covers 112L and 112R are composed of lower members 1121L and 1121R and upper members 1122L and 1122R. Then, the upper members 1122L and 1122R are made of a member softer than the ice tray 111. For example, the ice-making tray 111 is formed of polypropylene, and the upper members 1122L, 1122R are formed of polystyrene. Alternatively, the covers 112L and 112R may be formed thinner than the ice tray 111. Therefore, when the ice tray 111 and the cover members 112L and 112R are rotated and twisted after ice is formed, the ice is smoothly dropped to the ice bank 122 without being caught by the upper members 1122L and 1122R.
Alternatively, the lower members 1121L and 1121R may be formed of a member softer than the ice tray 111, and the upper members 1122L and 1122R may be formed of a member softer than the lower members 1121L and 1121R. Alternatively, the lower members 1121L and 1121R may be formed thinner than the ice tray 111, and the upper members 1122L and 1122R may be formed thinner than the lower members 1121L and 1121R. Therefore, when the ice tray 111 and the cover members 112L and 112R are rotated and twisted after ice is formed, the ice is smoothly dropped to the ice bank 122 without being caught by the upper members 1122L and 1122R.
The covers 112L and 112R and the ice tray 111 are preferably separate members. Thus, appropriate members can be used for the covers 112L and 112R and the ice tray 111. Even if the flexible or thin portions forming the lid members 112L and 112R are deformed or deteriorated by long-term use, it is possible to easily replace only the lid members 112L and 112R.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 12, a left opening 121L is formed in the left side wall of the ice making case 120 on the left side of the ice making tray 110, the ice making tray 111, or the cover members 112L and 112R. Therefore, the ice tray 111 is configured to facilitate introduction of cold air into the ice tray 120 and to facilitate cooling.
Then, a cover 1211L is formed on the upper portion of the left opening 121L so as to face the inside of the ice tray 120 and obliquely downward. Therefore, when water is supplied to the ice tray 111, the water is not splashed out of the left opening 121L.
Similarly, a right opening portion 121R is formed at the right side of the right side wall of the ice making case 120, at the right side of the ice making tray 110, the ice making tray 111, or the cover members 112L, 112R. Therefore, the ice making tray 111 is easily cooled.
Then, a cover 1211R is formed on the upper portion of the right opening 121R, facing obliquely downward and inside the ice tray 120. Therefore, when water is supplied to the ice tray 111, the water is not splashed out of the right opening 121R.
(second embodiment)
In the ice tray 111 according to the first embodiment, the first transverse partition 1111 and the second transverse partition 1112 are alternately formed, and the grooves 1112X are formed on the outer side of all the upper surfaces of the second transverse partition 1112.
However, as shown in fig. 13, a transverse partition 1110 having no groove may be formed in any portion of the first transverse partition 1111 and the second transverse partition 1112, and a longitudinal partition 1113 formed on the groove 1113X may be formed adjacent to the transverse partition 1110. For example, two kinds of grooves 1111X and 1112X are formed alternately in the front-rear direction by three at most, and are communicated in the left-right direction by the groove 1113X of the longitudinal section 1113 in front of the lateral section 1110.
Therefore, although the diffusion speed of the supplied water is slow, it is possible to prevent the water from passing through the grooves 1111X, 1111X at once due to centrifugal force or the like when the door 200 is opened or closed, for example. That is, since water passing through the groove 1111X collides against the second lateral partition 1112 to lose power, the possibility of water splashing from the front end or the rear end of the ice making tray 111 may be reduced.
(third embodiment)
The first and second lateral partitions 1111 and 1112 are alternately formed in the ice-making tray 111 of the first embodiment.
However, as shown in fig. 14, a plurality of first transverse partitions 1111 having grooves 1111X formed on the inner side may be formed continuously. The second transverse partition 1112 may be formed with a groove 1112X formed only on the outer side of the front and rear center portions of the ice making tray 111. Although the diffusion speed is slow, water passing through the grooves 1111X collides with the second lateral partition 1112 due to centrifugal force or the like when the door 200 is opened and closed, and thus the power is lost, so that the possibility of water splashing from the front end or the rear end of the ice making tray 111 can be reduced.
Conversely, a plurality of second partitions 1112 having grooves 1112X formed therein may be formed continuously on the outer side. Then, the first horizontal section 1111 in which the grooves 1111X are formed only on the outer side of the front and rear center portions of the ice making tray 111 may be formed. Although the diffusion speed is slow, water passing through the grooves 1112X collides with the first lateral partition 1111 by a centrifugal force or the like when the door 200 is opened and closed, and thus the power is lost, so that the possibility of water splashing from the front end or the rear end of the ice making tray 111 can be reduced.
(fourth embodiment)
In the ice-making tray 111 of the first embodiment, the first longitudinal partition 1113 of the groove 1113X is formed at each of the front and rear portions of the ice-making tray 111.
However, as shown in fig. 15, three or more first longitudinal partitions 1113 may be formed. Then, a groove may be formed in an upper portion of any one of the lateral zones adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. In other words, the left side of the ice tray 111 may be formed with a horizontal section 1111 having a groove 1111X formed thereon and a horizontal section 1110 having no groove formed thereon, alternately in this order from the rear. Then, a lateral section 1110 having no groove formed in the upper portion and a lateral section 1111 having a groove formed in the upper portion may be alternately formed on the right side of the ice tray 111 in order from the rear. Therefore, although the diffusion speed of the supplied water becomes slow, since the water passing through the grooves 1111X loses power by colliding against the lateral partitions 1110 due to centrifugal force or the like when, for example, the door 200 is opened and closed, the possibility of water splashing from the front end portion or the rear end portion of the ice making tray 111 may be reduced.
As described above in the first to fourth embodiments, if the positions of the grooves between any opposing sections of the plurality of sections of the ice-making tray 111 are shifted or no groove is formed in any opposing section, water passing through the first groove of the first section collides with the second section due to, for example, centrifugal force when the door 200 is opened and closed, and thus loses power, so that there is a possibility that water may be splashed from the front end portion or the rear end portion of the ice-making tray 111.
(fifth embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the cover members 112L and 112R are composed of the lower members 1121L and 1121R and the upper members 1122L and 1122R.
However, as shown in fig. 16, the lid members 112L, 112R may be one member. Then, the upper members 112L and 112R are made of a member softer than the ice making tray 111. For example, the ice-making tray 111 is formed of polypropylene, and the upper members 112L, 112R are formed of polystyrene. Alternatively, the covers 112L and 112R may be formed thinner than the ice tray 111. Therefore, when the ice making tray 111 and the cover members 112L, 112R are rotated and twisted after ice is formed, the ice does not get caught by the cover members 112L, 112R and smoothly drops to the ice bank 122.
(sixth embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the side walls at the same height as the ice-making tray 110, the ice-making tray 111, or the cover members 112L and 112R of the ice-making housing 120 are formed with the left and right opening portions 121L and 121R. However, as shown in fig. 17, the right opening portion 121R may be formed at a higher position than the ice making tray 110, the ice making tray 111, or the cover members 112L, 112R on the right side wall of the ice making case 120. Therefore, the ice-making tray 111 is configured to facilitate introduction of cold air into the ice-making housing 120 and to facilitate cooling, as in the first embodiment. Further, by directly flowing down the cold air having a relatively high specific gravity from a high position into the water in the ice-making tray 111, the water in the ice-making tray 111 can be made ice faster.
In the present embodiment, the housing 1212R is formed at a lower portion of the right opening portion 121R toward the inside and obliquely above the ice making housing 120. Accordingly, when water is supplied to the ice tray 111, the water rebounded from the ice tray 111 is not splashed outward from the right opening 121R.
Similarly, the left opening 121L may be formed in the left side wall of the ice making housing 120 at a position higher than the ice making tray 110, the ice making tray 111, or the cover members 112L and 112R. Therefore, the ice tray 111 is configured to be easily cooled, or the water in the ice tray 111 is formed into ice earlier.
Then, a cover may be formed at an upper portion of the left opening portion 121L to be directed to an inner side of the ice making housing 120 and to be obliquely upward. Accordingly, when water is supplied to the ice tray 111, the water rebounded from the ice tray 111 is not splashed outward from the left opening 121L.
(conclusion)
In the first to sixth embodiments described above, there is provided an ice making tray 110 provided with an ice making tray 111 for generating ice, and left and right side walls 112L, 112R provided to extend upward from left and right end portions of the ice making tray 111, respectively.
