At this moment, be what ways 28 was forwards pulled out, be arranged on the rising portions 29a of guide housing 29 rear ends.That is, guide housing 29 is arranged to rearward extend out by ice making vessel 23 belows from casing 25, and slip on the guide rail 32 of support 27 sides.Thereby when guide housing 29 is forwards pulled out with the casing 25 with bearing, rising portions 29 just contacts with the ways 28 of the bearing 23b that supports ice making vessel 23, so in face of layback go out.Utilize this power to remove the bearing 23b of ice maker ware 23 and the matching relationship of output shaft 26a, guide housing 29 just pulled into the place ahead of support 27.At this moment, also can make be not by with rising portions 29a, but with the structure of pulling out ways 28 that contacts of the above-mentioned fastening 23c of portion.But, forwards push by rising portions 29a if ways 28 made at lower position, the structure that forwards pushes by the 23c of fastening portion at middle position even have some to block to the action of pulling out with the ways 28 of guide rail 31 grades, also can prevent to pull out obliquely effectively.
Have, self-evident, track 31, guide rail 32 neither stop just commentaries on classics, the counter-rotating of ice making vessel 23, also do not hinder ice cube to fall from ice making vessel 23 again.
In addition, ways 28 structures are not fix with rising portions 29a, under the state that ice making vessel 23 are pulled out, taken off, also guide housing 29 grades are returned in the support 27 even push casing 25, ways 28 does not return original position yet, and stays support 27 the place aheads (Fig. 9).
Return the occasion of ice making vessel 23 at this state, if finger is placed in the handle portion of casing 25 in face of a layback when going out because ways 28 just is suspended on the support 27, so can pull out casing 25 and guide housing 29 with not being subjected to any interference.Therefore, the bearing 23b at ice making vessel 23 rears is inserted into the gathering sill 28a of U word shape of ways 28 from the top, for the axle 23a in ice making vessel 23 the place aheads, the cap 25b that opens casing 25 cooperates with the groove 25d of bottom 25a side., close cap 25b, casing 25 is pushed support 27 sides thereafter.At this moment, because the bearing 23b at ice making vessel 23 rears is loaded on the ways 28, bearing 23b possesses the 23c of fastening portion, thereby ways 28 is pushed into the rear by ice making vessel 23, returns state shown in Figure 5.
Have again, even ways 28 is for pushing than the state shown in Figure 9 state at rear more, if casing 25 in face of layback go out, ways 28 also can be pushed to side in front by rising portions 29a, is pulled out to the position that can see.Thereby, by ice making vessel 23 being installed with above-mentioned same operation.
About the cooperation of the bearing 23b and the output shaft 26a of ice making vessel 23, by gathering sill 28a being made the groove of U word shape, bearing 23b restriction output shaft 26a to the left and right with the swing of below, make the position alignment of its position and output shaft 26a.That is,, can successfully carry out the cooperation of bearing 23b and output shaft 26a by ways 28 guiding owing to determine the position of bearing 23b by ways 28.
Particularly, the gathering sill 28b (with reference to Figure 10) that is arranged on ways 28 both sides is loaded on the guide rail 31 that is arranged on the support 27, because ways 28 slides on fore-and-aft direction, so be arranged on the effect that the gathering sill 28a of the U word shape on the ways 28 plays the bearing 23b that makes ice making vessel 23 and output shaft 26a aligning and cooperates.By at supported on both sides ways 28, prevent that ways 28 from sliding obliquely like this.
On the other hand, when pulling out ice making vessel 23, by the axle 23a with convex shaped part, the rising portions 29a or the 23c of fastening portion of guide housing 29 cooperation is thrown off, guide housing 29 just slides on second guide rail 32 that is arranged on the support 27.Thereby, pulling out casing 25 by support 27 and taking out ice making vessel 23 when cleaning etc., the handle portion (Fig. 9) with finger hooks casing 25 by casing 25 is pulled out on the arrow Q direction as Fig. 8, just will cooperate the ice making vessel 23 of disengaged condition to pull out.
At this moment, because of the relation of guide housing 29 and (first) guide rail 32,, the usefulness projection (not shown) of takeofing that prevents of guide housing 29 can be set also in the first lead track, 32 sides in order flatly to pull out casing 25 with bearing.
From ice the time, ice making vessel 23 rotate by drive division 26, make 23 distortion of ice making vessel by ice making vessel 23 are reversed when this rotation.Particularly, clamping ice making vessel 23 ground is arranged on the rotation restriction portion of an opposite side of drive division 26 and ice making vessel 23 and connects and remove.At this moment, when applying torque by 26 pairs of ice making vessel 23 of drive division, further ice making vessel 23 to be continued to apply revolving force corresponding with drive division 26 sides, and the opposition side of drive division 26 is just by the restriction rotation of rotation restriction portion.Thereby ice making vessel 23 are out of shape and carry out from ice by means of the pliability of ice making vessel 23.
This rotation restriction portion, even owing to need be arranged on the position that 23 rotations of ice making vessel are not also moved, so in the occasion of present embodiment, if be arranged on drive division 26 clamping ice making vessel 23 just can be on the casing 25 of opposition side from ice.As mentioned above, even the shape of this rotation restriction portion is made the shape of the bearing of the axle 23a of ice making vessel 23 of ice making vessel 23 rotation also not becoming spinning obstacle and casing 25 sides, in addition, the material of casing 25 is to be difficult to crooked material than ice making vessel 23, and the rotation that had both limited ice making vessel 23 by rotation restriction portion also is difficult to distortion.
; although casing 25 has been applied from ice making vessel 23 from suffered revolving force of when ice, because casing 25 has bearing; making cap 25b again is the rotatable structure in center with fulcrum 25c, so there is situation about can not fully guarantee the rotation intensity of force of ice making vessel 23.Therefore, in the present embodiment,, make guide housing 29 consistent with the shape of first guide rail 32 in order to bear the revolving force that is applied on the casing 25 by entire bracket 27, and in advance both strong bonded together.Particularly, guide rail 32 make support 27 lower sidewall bending to the inside shape and diapire is set, near this lower sidewall and diapire bight, be provided with guide rail and guide housing 29.Thereby, owing to the revolving force that is applied on the casing 25 also is dispersed on the support 27, so even from ice the time, also can guarantee intensity.
Have again, in the accompanying drawings, under the state outside the support 27, carry out automatic ice-making,, just can further be dispersed in casing 25 suffered revolving forces on the support 27 if make the structure of in advance casing 25 being put into support 27 though be expressed as casing 25 taken out.
Next, be described having or not of detection ice making vessel 23.In automatic ice-making plant 12, be provided with and be used to detect the sensor 33 that ice making vessel 23 have or not.This sensor 33 is connected on the not shown control part, when utilizing sensor 33 to confirm that ice making vessel 23 are installed in the support 27 (for example, the state of Fig. 5), then allow to supply water to ice making vessel 23 from supply-water pump 22, picture when in support 27, not having ice making vessel 23 (for example, when Fig. 8 or Fig. 9) like that, when the installation of ice making vessel 23 can not be confirmed, then control stopped to supply water.
The sensor 33 that the detection ice making vessel of present embodiment have or not, such as previously described, different ways 28 detects having or not of ice making vessel 23 along with having or not of ice making vessel 23 by the detection position.Particularly, ice making vessel 23 are loaded on casing 25 and the ways 28, in the occasion of installing to the inboard, ways 28 is in the state that contacts with sensor 33 and connect.On the other hand, as pull out the state (Fig. 8) of casing 25 or the occasion (Fig. 9) that ice making vessel 23 casings 25 have cut out is not installed, ways 28 is in and is not positioned at inboard state, and sensor 33 is in off-state.
That is, being set to of sensor 33, ice making vessel 23 are in support 27 time, ways 28 is by ice making vessel 23 pushing sensors 33, when taking out ice making vessel 23, ways 28 forwards moves, and the pushing force that detects the sensor 33 that the ice making vessel have or not then is released.
Thereby, even the user of refrigerator forgets ice making vessel 23 are installed, casing 25 is pushed into support 27 sides and has closed the occasion of the door 7 of ice-making compartment 3a, the water in the hopper 11 can not supply water yet.
Next, adopt Figure 11 to illustrate ice making vessel 23 from support 27 taking-ups or with its situation of packing into.The position of the ice making vessel 23 in Figure 11 shown in the solid line is represented be casing 25 usefulness handle portions in face of the state that goes out of layback, expression when taking out ice making vessel 23 integral body from automatic ice-making plant 12 (support 27), ice making vessel 23 be pulled out to can extracting position state.
If describe in detail, in the occasion of taking out ice making vessel 23, the refrigerator user is at first hooked the handle portion that is arranged on the casing 25 with pointing, and guide housing 29 is slided on the track 32 of support 27 and pulls out ice making vessel 23 from support 27.So-called with casing 25 in face of pull out, be meant that guide housing 29 forwards flies out from support 27 as shown in figure 11.Thereupon, be arranged on the rear contact of the rising portions 29a of guide housing 29 rear ends, ways 28 is taken to the place ahead from ways 28.In this process, the matching relationship of the bearing 23b of output shaft 26a and ice making vessel 23 is removed.
The shape of the axle 23a of the groove 25d of casing 25 sides and ice making vessel 23 is a shape as shown in figure 11, adopts these shapes to carry out being the occasion that cooperates, if casing 25 is pulled out, and a side in face of then also ice making vessel 23 being pulled out to.At this moment, if as present embodiment, the 23c of fastening portion that protrudes from the bearing 23b at ice making vessel 23 rears is set downwards, this 23c of fastening portion and ways 28 are just interfered, just can be along with the action of pulling out ice making vessel 23 is forwards pulled out ways 28.Promptly, in occasion as the ice making vessel 23 of present embodiment, with rising portions 29a have or not that it doesn't matter, the convex shaped part of the axle 23a of ice making vessel 23 just become the fastening sheet in face of move, and utilize the 23c of fastening portion that is arranged on bearing 23b ways 28 is taken in face of the place ahead.
, for example, be to prevent the takeoff occasion of pressing plate of usefulness of ice making vessel 23 at the matching relationship of casing 25 and axle 23a, the casing 25 that ice making vessel 23 are in ice making vessel 23 and have a bearing is the state of one activity not.Even this moment, compare with rising portions 29a is arranged, utilize ways 28 also can ice making vessel 23 in face of the place ahead pull out.
Next, the ice making vessel 23 that will pull out are described from casing 25 and ways 28 these points of taking-up.The ice making vessel 23 that dot among Figure 11, the expression position when being loaded in ice making vessel on casing 25 and the ways 28 and taking out.
When taking out ice making vessel 23, at first shown in dotted line, be that the center is rotated the cap 25b of casing 25 with fulcrum 25c, the axle 23a top of ice making vessel 23 is opened wide.At this moment, because the axle 23a in ice making vessel 23 the place aheads only is loaded on the 25a of bottom, so can mention ice making vessel 23 to arrow R rightabout.And, the 23c of fastening portion of ice making vessel 23 sides of fastening on ways 28 mentioned and remove the fastening relation, ice making vessel 23 are mentioned obliquely upward, and take out ice making vessel 23 from support 27.
When taking out, need to remove the fastening relation of ways 28 and ice making vessel 23., both fastenings mainly are the fastenings that moves forward and backward that is used to limit ice making vessel 23, are to finish by the 23c of fastening portion that is protruded downwards by bearing 23b.In addition, because bearing 23b only is loaded on the U word shape gathering sill 28a of ways 28, because the top is unlimited, as long as thereby mention the 23c of fastening portion and just can remove fastening simply.
The ice making vessel 23 that are removed like this, owing to have only vessel itself, so the cleanings of vessel etc. can be carried out at an easy rate.
Have again, because casing 25 is not in the state of pulling out, so return support 27 sides., even return support 27 sides, the place ahead in face of ways 28 also continues to be positioned at.Reason is, because rising portions 29a is positioned at the inboard of ways 28, so as described in just, even casing 25 pushes support 27 sides, rising portions 29a can not make ways 28 return original position, rising portions 29a retreats self.
Have again, describe by the taking-up that ice making vessel 23 are pulled out ice making vessel 23 obliquely upward by support 27.This is based on the front openings of support 27 and the position relation of ways 28.In the above-described embodiment, when having pulled out casing 25, because ways 28 is positioned at the inboard of the marginal portion of support 27 openings, so become the structure that ice making vessel 23 tilt to take out.
; ways 28 is pulled out to the structure of the edge of opening part of support 27; if for example in advance for the length of pulling out casing 25 needed guide housings 20 from support 27 is done than Figure 11 to pull out size longer; just rising portions 29a outwards can be pulled out by support 27, and ice making vessel 23 are pulled out upward.Like this, that the size in space is set is longer if the length of guide housing 29 is made the ice making vessel that reach than support 27, by the user casing 25 is pulled out, and just can prevent from contact with the opening of support 27 when taking out ice making vessel 23, improves the taking-up property.This structure is provided with the outside in space and can realizes by the ice making vessel that in advance second guide rail 31 of guiding ways 28 extended to support 27.Particularly, under the state that holds ice making vessel 23, for example, second guide rail 31 is extended to the inboard that support 27 interior ice making vessel are provided with the space as long as make.
By adopting such structure because ice making vessel 23 can be pulled out to the outside fully by support 27, so under the state of the lid 25b that opens casing 25, can ice making vessel 23 to directly over pull out.
More than, according to the present embodiment that has illustrated, have following effect.
The first, take out during the ice making vessel 23, owing to remove ways 28 and detect the pushing relation that the ice making vessel have or not sensor 33, thereby inoperative supply-water pump 22 just can prevent from the water in the hopper 11 is supplied in the storage ice container 13.
The second, when making the ice making vessel 23 that taken out return in the support 27, ways 28 usually is positioned at the place ahead in front of support 27.Thereby, the user can through be everlasting appreciable position the 23c of fastening portion of ice making vessel from the oblique upper fastening among U word shape gathering sill 28a.Thereafter, user arrow R as shown in figure 11 is such, so that the mode that the axle 23d of ice making vessel 23 cooperates with groove 25d at the casing 25 of having opened cap 25b is loaded thereon, if close cap 25b, just can carry out the operation of returning of ice making vessel 23 simply.In addition, under this state, if casing 25 is pushed to the rear, ways 28 just becomes the align member of the bearing 23b of ice making vessel 23, and it is matched with the output shaft 26a of drive division 26.
Figure 12 is the next door that is illustrated in the automatic ice-making plant 12 of the structure with above-mentioned present embodiment, and the figure of the example of other ice making vessel 34 is set.These ice making vessel 34 are to be undertaken from the ice making vessel of icing by manual kneading ice vessel, possess the chamber 35 of loading ice making vessel 34 in the next door of automatic ice-making plant 12.
The occasion of example shown in Figure 12 can make and be arranged on the consistent size of the ice making vessel 23 in the automatic ice-making plant 12, and make that axial region grades the shape generalization is set.At this moment, though the ice making vessel 23 in the automatic ice-making plant 12 can exchange with the ice making vessel 34 that are loaded in the chamber 35, be adjacent to load for the ice deficiency that remedies the user usually.
Be configured in the storage ice container 36 of ice making vessel below in addition, be divided into 2 zones, the ice of being made by automatic ice-making plant 12 sides is housed in the A chamber side of icing container 36, pinches the ice of making from ice by ice making vessel 34 with hand and is housed in B chamber side.Like this, by on storage ice container 36, partition being set, in ice making vessel 23 occasion different with the cavity shape of ice making vessel 34, can be in the A chamber, the B chamber preserves difform ice.
Have again, though for how making the ice made from ice making vessel 23 in the above-mentioned explanation omit detailed description from ice from the ice making vessel, but this is by existing structure, for example is arranged on the contact site of ice making vessel 23 sides and is arranged on that the combination of the chocking constructions such as rotation restriction portion of bearing housing 25 sides carries out.That is, as the various functions of automatic ice-making plant necessity, even make the occasion that can take out ice making vessel 23, also we can say with existing automatic ice-making plant be ready-made equally.
For example, make can take out ice making vessel 23 (or, ice making vessel 34 in the occasion that ice making vessel 34 is installed in automatic ice-making plant 12) occasion, first problem is the bearing 23bs of ice making vessel 23 and the cooperating of output shaft 26a of ice making vessel 23 when returning in the support 27, and second problem is to 23 water supply of ice making vessel by supply-water pump 22.
In the present embodiment, output shaft 26a does in a rectangular shape, thus and the bearing 23d of ice making vessel 23 between do not cause slip.That is, 26a makes rectangle output shaft, and bearing 23b is provided with the recess that meets output shaft 26a shape, makes the structure that does not dally when the rotation of the CD-ROM drive motor of drive division 26 etc.
In addition, for output shaft 26a, the bearing 23b of ice making vessel 23 only joins at same position (1 point) and is incorporated in this position rotation.On the other hand, the output shaft 26a of CD-ROM drive motor side be make the ice cube in ice making vessel 23, made from the ice making vessel 23 from ice, rotate and reverse repeatedly in the scopes of about 270 degree.Thereby, it is made following structure, if ice making vessel 23 just transporting moving in or in the return motion casing 25 such as (ice cube ice making vessel 23 in the test running of being carried out when icing or during the refrigerator entry into service time) be drawn out, when taking place to cooperate the situation of forcing cancellation, then make output shaft 26a end rotation.
Take out the occasion of ice making vessel 23 like this in the rotation of ending output shaft 26a, produce following problem.Reason is, the ice making vessel 23 that take out support by ways 28 and casing 25, casing 25 to be pushed in the support 27, make ice making vessel 23 when track turns back to the installation site, do not know what kind of state the position of rotation of the output shaft 26a that stops is in rotary course.Especially, the output shaft 26a of present embodiment is even pulled into the occasion in the place ahead in order to take out ice making vessel 23, because former state is in the inside of automatic ice-making plant 12, so also be not easy to see the state of output shaft 26a.Thereby even ice making vessel 23 are returned, the direction of the bearing 23b of ice making vessel 23 sides and the direction of output shaft 26a are also inconsistent, produce the situation that ice making vessel 23 can not return the origin-location.
Therefore, in the present embodiment,, adopt warning lamp or warning buzzer for the situation that ice making vessel 23 are in the rotation is informed the user.This warning lamp or warning buzzer are connected on the not shown control part, by opening warning lamp or sound a buzzer in 23 rotations of ice making vessel, the user are informed in the rotation of ice making vessel 23.
In addition, the situation that imagination ice making vessel 23 depart from rotary course, in this case, by control so that output shaft 26a returns the (position that the bearing 23b that utilizes guiding such as track to go into to output shaft 26a thruster can cooperate with output shaft 26d, original position ... initial point) and.That is, on not shown control circuit board, pack in advance and be used to carry out the software of this control, according to the position of the information control output shaft 26a of the rotation status of the detection that has or not of ice making vessel 23 and ice making vessel 23.
Next, to utilizing supply-water pump 22 to describe to the problem that ice making vessel 23 supply water.Just as already explained, though the sensor 33 that utilizes detection ice making vessel to have or not can be judged and could supply water according to having or not of ice making vessel 23, but, just will directly flow to storage ice container 13 in this case from the water of feed pipe 21 owing in the process that supplies water to the ice making vessel, also have the situation that ice making vessel 23 are removed.
In order to prevent this situation, in the present embodiment, for example, make with above-mentioned similarly to utilize warning lamp or warning buzzer to notify the user be in water supply.The pattern of these warning lamps or buzzer is preferably changed into the situation of the state of notifying above-mentioned ice making vessel 23 in advance.
And, the locking mechanism that can not take off the ice making vessel between delivery period has been installed, prevent from enter to the water that the ice making vessel are supplied with in the storage ice container 13 (36).
As mentioned above, according to present embodiment, desirable following effect.
That is, because the casing 25 that will have with the bearing of guide housing 29 is arranged on support sliding freely On 27 the guide rail 32, ice making vessel 23 is arranged on freely to rotate casing 25 Hes with this bearing In the time of between the output shaft 26a of CD-ROM drive motor, support making the ways 28 with U word shape gathering sill The bearing portion 23b of the ice making vessel 23 that cooperates with output shaft 26a, and the card that is arranged on bearing portion 23b Bonding part 23c fastening can make ice making vessel 23 establish with ways 28 edges on this ways 28 The guide rail 31 of putting in support 27 sides moves forward and backward, so the mounting or dismounting of ice making vessel 23 become easily, uses The person can make ice cube with the ice making vessel that has cleaned.
