In order to improve the cooling effectiveness of ice maker, single Peltier element of arrangement on other a pair of Peltier element and/or the downside at this formed body can settled on two other sidewall of formed body 1.
The fresh water conveyance conduit 7 of a flexibility feeds by the hole 8 of the centre at the end of the portion of leaving a blank 2.
The axle section 9 of two conllinear respectively is fixed on the cooling body 5.These sections 9 respectively are suspended in the frame of ice maker rotationally, wherein, for for simplicity, only show one section frame plate 10 and a rolling bearing 11 at an axle section 9, this section 9 can be suspended in this rolling bearing on frame plate 10 rotationally.
The working method of this ice maker is as follows: during formed body 1 was in the position shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the water of measured quantity was input in the portion of leaving a blank 2 by conveyance conduit 7.Present with DC current (this DC current for example can conduct by the axle section 9 of metal) for simultaneously Peltier element 4, select the sign of this DC current like this, make these Peltier elements 4 they in the face of cooling on the surface of formed body 1 and they in the face of release heat on the surface of cooling body 5.The content of portion 2 of just will leaving a blank in a few minutes thus is freezing.The working time of determining at interval after, unshowned control circuit makes the direction commutation by the supply current of Peltier element 4.Selection can come the predetermined time interval according to the temperature that is recorded by the temperature sensor that is arranged on formed body 1 annex like this, makes this time interval enough be used for the water of the freezing portion 2 of leaving a blank.Relation between cooling work duration and the measured temperature can be determined by rule of thumb.
As long as the described predetermined time interval one in the past, control circuit just makes the direction commutation of the supply current of Peltier element 4, so that these Peltier elements are heated into body 1.Therefore, form a thin water layer on the surface of the ice cube in being included in the portion of leaving a blank 2.With the direction commutation that makes supply current, control circuit is also operated a motor 12 that acts on one of described axle section 9, so that make formed body 1 as turning round 180 ° and opening by such shown in the arrow P among Fig. 1 down.The ice cube that is easy to move owing to the water layer between ice cube and the formed body 1 slides from the portion of leaving a blank 2 and comes out and fall in the tank 13 that is arranged on the below.
Show configuration with schematic cross section among Fig. 3 according to a modification of ice maker of the present invention.As the ice maker of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the ice maker of Fig. 3 comprises the formed body 1 of an entity that is formed from aluminium, this formed body has the portion of leaving a blank 2 of central authorities and the Peltier element on two outsides opposite each other that are arranged on formed body 1, because these Peltier elements are in outside the section plane, so can not see these Peltier elements in Fig. 3.
This formed body 1 is made of a base plate 17 and a hollow upper-part, and this upper-part can swingingly be hinged on the base plate around an axis 15, and this axis extends along the bottom seamed edge of upper-part 18 section plane perpendicular to Fig. 3.In the position of representing with solid line, upper-part 18 is still on the base plate 17, and the portion 2 of leaving a blank is by 16 sealings of an elastomeric seal ring between upper-part 18 and the base plate 17.Motor 12 is used to make upper-part 18 around axis 15 swings.A conveyance conduit 7 that is used for fresh water is passed into the portion of leaving a blank 2 of this formed body by the hole 8 of base plate 17.The portion 2 of leaving a blank shrinks gradually towards the direction of base plate 17.
