Definitions
- the present invention relates to an icemaker tray having a plurality of compartments arranged in a number of rows, compartments separated by partitions, an icemaker in which such a tray is insertable, and a method for making the tray or icemaker of ice.
- a conventional ice maker tray and an automatic ice maker using such a tray are known, for example, from US 6,571,567 B2.
- the compartments are arranged in two rows of four compartments, and the entire arrangement of eight compartments has on its outer periphery a peripheral wall which projects beyond the upper edge of the intermediate walls between the compartments.
- Such a projecting wall allows that when a tray overflows when pouring water into the tray, the water spreads into an adjacent compartment without flowing sideways from the tray so that the water, even if it is initially only in one single subject is filled, successively reaches all subjects and fills.
- Such an ice cube tray is not fully satisfactory because it is very difficult to make ice cubes of uniform size. If the water is poured only in a single compartment, and the adjacent are filled by overflow, lies in the compartment has been filled in, after filling the water level due to the surface tension of the water higher than the upper edges of the compartment surrounding partitions whereas the furthest removed from the filler tray often remain incompletely filled. To fill all compartments completely, fill in enough water to flood the dividing walls, so that no individual ice cubes are obtained, but a coherent block, which must be broken into pieces after freezing. Disassembling them with your bare hands is unhygienic, and manual disassembly using tools is laborious. In the automatic ice making the problem is added that the contiguous pieces of ice in a storage container in which they are collected after completion, disproportionately take up space.
- ice maker trays have been proposed in which respective notches are formed in the upper edges of the intermediate walls, which facilitate the overflow of water from a full into an adjacent, yet receptive compartment.
- respective notches are formed in the upper edges of the intermediate walls, which facilitate the overflow of water from a full into an adjacent, yet receptive compartment.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an ice maker tray or an ice maker or a method for making ice, which make it possible with simple means to produce individual, reliably separated ice pieces of uniform dimensions.
- an ice maker tray with the feature of claim 1.
- the fact that on one longitudinal side of each row of subjects, as well as at least a portion of the transverse sides of such a row on the upper edge of the partitions projecting wall is formed, is the possibility created by tilting the tray to allow the passage of water from one compartment to another on a large, not significantly affected by surface tension effects cross-sectional area, so that equal water levels arise in each compartment, and then by Aufrichtstellen the tray, the water body in the Separate individual compartments from each other neatly, so that when freezing disjointed pieces of ice are obtained.
- the number of rows in the ice maker tray is one. While it is conceivable to make an ice maker tray of the above-described type with any number of rows, in such a tray the overhanging walls must prevent the exchange of water between adjacent rows to prevent water from the other rows in the inclined position tiefstgelegenen Series collects. A standardization of the volumes of ice cubes is therefore possible only within a row.
- the wall In order to achieve a slanted state sufficient cross section for the passage of water between the subjects, the wall should protrude at least 5 mm above the upper edge of the intermediate walls.
- the subjects in cross section preferably have the shape of a circle segment. From these subjects, a piece of ice can be removed from the mold in a particularly simple manner by sliding in the circumferential direction of the circle segment, without, as in a conventional cuboid ice piece of z.
- a piece of ice can be removed from the mold in a particularly simple manner by sliding in the circumferential direction of the circle segment, without, as in a conventional cuboid ice piece of z.
- US 6,571,567 B2 considered type, during demolding between the bottom of the tray and the ice body forms a cavity that impedes demolding, unless a prevailing in the cavity vacuum is compensated.
- An electric heater may be provided on the icemaker tray to accelerate and facilitate demolding by superficial roughening of finished pieces of ice.
- the tray may be provided with protruding heat exchanger fins. These ribs can simultaneously serve to hold a rod-shaped heating device inserted between them.
- an ice maker with an ice maker tray of the type described above and a frame in which the tray between an upright position in which the upper edges of the intermediate walls are horizontal, and a tilted position in which they to the protruding wall having longitudinal side down are pivotable about an axis.
- the center axis of an imaginary smallest cylinder surrounding the tray is preferably selected as the pivot axis.
- the upper edges of the intermediate walls are in the upright and the tilted position preferably above the pivot axis.
- a large cross-sectional area of the compartments can be realized with simultaneously compact outer dimensions of the ice maker.
- the tray is preferably pivotable into a discharge position in which the openings of the compartments point downwards so that pieces of ice contained in them can slide out below their own weight.
- an ice making method comprising the steps of placing water in an ice maker tray and freezing water in the tray, in which, prior to freezing, the icemaker tray is in a tilted position in which water is filled in between flooded between compartments of the tray on a portion of its width and touches a projecting over the upper edges of the intermediate walls portion of a longitudinal wall, is pivoted into an upright position in which the mirror of the water is below the upper edges of the intermediate walls.

A facing away from the viewer longitudinal wall 5 is flush with the upper edges of the partitions 3, while a the viewer facing longitudinal wall 6 is extended beyond the upper edges of the partitions 3 addition.
- the tray 1 may be a plastic molding, preferably, because of the good thermal conductivity, it is designed as a cast aluminum.
- a hollow cylinder 11 On one of the transverse walls 2 of the tray 1, a hollow cylinder 11 is mounted; it serves for the sheltered accommodation of a coiled supply cable 12, which serves for the power supply of a not visible in the figure, mounted on the underside of the tray 1 heater 13 (see Fig. 12).
- the tray 1 lies completely within an imaginary extension of the lateral surface of the hollow cylinder 11, which also represents the smallest possible cylinder into which the tray fits.
- One of the viewer facing transverse wall 2 projecting axle journal 14 extends on the longitudinal center axis of the hollow cylinder eleventh
- a molded plastic frame is designated 15. It has an upwardly and downwardly open cavity 16 which is provided to mount the tray 1 therein. On the end walls 17, 18 of the cavity 16 bearing bushes 19, 20 are formed for the pivotable mounting of the tray 1.
- a longitudinal wall of the cavity 16 is formed by a box 21 which is provided to receive a drive motor 22 as well as various electronic components for controlling the operation of the icemaker.
- a pinion 23 is mounted, which can be seen better in each case in Figures 6, 7, 9 and 11 than in Figure 2.
- the gear 25 carries a projecting in the axial direction pin 26 which is provided to engage in a vertical slot 27 of a vibrating body 28.
- Oscillating body 28 is guided horizontally displaceable by means of from the end wall 17 into the cavity 24 projecting pin 29 which engage in a horizontal elongated hole 30 of the vibrating body.
- a to be screwed on the open side of the end wall 17 cover plate 33 closes the cavity 24.
- a mounting flange 34 with laterally beyond the end wall 17 protruding tabs 35 is used for mounting the icemaker in a refrigerator.

- Fig. 5 shows, seen from the side of the end wall 18 and the box 21 ago, in a perspective view of the ice maker with the tray 1 in a tilted position.
- the upper edges of the sectors 7 on the transverse walls 2 of the tray 1 are horizontal.
- Fig. 6 shows a frontal view of the ice maker from the side of the end wall 17 ago, with cover plate 33 and mounting flange 34 are omitted to give the view into the cavity 24 of the end wall 17 free.
- the configuration shown here is the one in which the icemaker is assembled.
- Various markings indicate a correct positioning of individual parts relative to each other.
- a first pair of markings 37, 38 is located on the end wall 17 itself, or on the gear 26 carrying the pin 26. If these markings 37, 38, as shown in the figure, are exactly aligned with each other, the pin 26 is located in a three o'clock position, that is, on the right-most point of his path, which he can reach.
- the mounted on the pin 26 and the stationary pin 29 vibrating body 28 is located at the right turning point of its path.
- Aligned markings 39, 40 on a protruding over the sprocket flange 41 of the gear 32 and on the end wall 17 show a correct orientation of the gear 32 and consequently also with his
- An inherently redundant pair of markers 42, 43 on the teeth 31 of the pivot body 28 and the gear 32 indicates the correct positioning of the gear 32 and the oscillating body 31 with respect to each other.
- a sensor 44 for detecting the rotational position of the gear 32 is mounted adjacent thereto. It cooperates with a rib 45 projecting from the edge of the flange 41 on a part of its circumference in the axial direction, so that it can dive into a slot at the rear of the sensor housing. In the tilted position of FIG. 6, the rib 45 is largely hidden by the sensor 44 and the vibrating body 28.
- FIG. 7 differs from FIG. 6 in that the housing of the sensor 44 is shown partially cut open, so that two light barriers 46, 47 bridging the slot can be seen in its interior.
- the rib 45 is located just above the two light barriers 46, 47 so that an electronic control unit, not shown, based on the fact that both light barriers are open, can recognize that the tray 1 is in the tilted position and the drive motor 22 can stop to hold the tray 1 in the tilted position and can fill.
- the drive motor 22 is set in motion by the control unit to bring the tray 1 in the upright position in which the amounts of water in the compartments 4 of the tray. 1 neatly separated from each other.
- This position is in Fig. 8 in a perspective view corresponding to Fig. 5 and in Fig. 9 in a front view corresponding to FIG. 7 is shown.
- the gear 25 is further rotated with respect to the position of FIG. 7 in the clockwise direction, but the same position of the tray 1 could also be achieved by a rotation of the gear 25 in the counterclockwise direction.
- the achievement of the upright position is recognized by the fact that the rib 45 begins to obstruct the lower light barrier 47.
- the tray 1 In the upright position, the tray 1 remains standing for a while until the water in the compartments 4 is frozen.
- the standing time in the upright position can be fixed;
- the control circuit may also be connected to a temperature sensor to determine a sufficient time at the measured temperature for freezing the water on the basis of a measured temperature in the environment of the tray 1 and a characteristic curve stored in the control circuit.
- this heater 13 is a looped electric heating rod which extends in close contact with the tray 1 between heat exchanger fins 49 projecting from its underside and partly in one at the bottom of the tray 1 formed groove 48 is received.
- Ice pieces thus produced water layer acts like a sliding film on which the pieces of ice are movable with very little friction. Due to the cylinder segment cross-sectional shape the fan 4 slide the pieces of ice easily out of the compartments 4 and fall into a not shown, arranged under the icemaker receptacle.
- the drive motor is restarted, and the gear 25 is further rotated clockwise until it reaches the position shown in Fig. 5 to 7 again and begins a new cycle of operation of the icemaker.
