Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ice maker for use in a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator. It also relates to a refrigeration device, in which such an icemaker is used.
- Ice makers in the form of flat trays, in which several are filled with water to produce each piece of ice fillable compartments are known per se.
- a tray can be filled with water outside of a refrigerator and placed in the refrigerator to freeze the water.
- the handling of such trays is cumbersome and requires a high level of attention, because when a filled tray is transported to the refrigerator, there is a high risk that water spills over, and to freeze the water must be an exactly horizontal, secure footprint for the tray Refrigeration device are available.
- each tray usually needs to be filled one at a time, which is cumbersome and time consuming.
- tray eliminates the problem of transport and the search for a suitable space for the tray in the refrigerator.
- the filling of the tray is not relieved, however, since a ceiling of the refrigerator, refrigerated goods carriers or the like mounted inside thereof make it difficult to access the tray from above and accurately recognize the water level therein.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an ice maker which can be quickly and reliably filled with the correct filling quantity or a refrigeration device in which such an ice maker can be used.
- the object is achieved, on the one hand, by providing an ice maker with at least one tray subdivided into several compartments for producing one piece of ice with a dosing container which has a calibration volume corresponding to the common volume of the compartments or an integral fraction of this volume.
- a dosing container which has a calibration volume corresponding to the common volume of the compartments or an integral fraction of this volume.
- the dosing can be connected via at least one controllable drain with the subjects.
- Such a dosing can be solid, at least in normal use of the ice maker not to be removed part of the icemaker.
- the outflow is controllable by the position of the at least one tray, in particular by the at least one tray between a
- a valve is preferably provided with a valve seat and a closing body which is movable in contact with the at least one tray between a position sealing the valve seat and an open position.
- the metering container is arranged to cover the compartments. It is particularly expedient if the metering container forms a ceiling of a housing surrounding at least one tray. Such a housing prevents the spread of water vapor from the subjects in the rest of the refrigerator and thus an undesirable frost formation outside the icemaker.
- the dosing can be removed from a chamber of the ice maker. Such a dosing can outside the
- Icemaker for example, at a faucet, and is, since he is not the Flat shape of a tablet generally needs to be more convenient and safe to carry than a water-filled tray.
- the tray may be surrounded by a housing to limit the spread of water vapor outside the icemaker.
- a basin with at least one outflow into the compartments is formed in a ceiling of such a housing.
- the basin may be inserted into a side walls of the housing forming frame.
- the outflow opens into several compartments in parallel, regardless of whether the partitions between the compartments have notches which, when a desired water level in the compartments is reached connect with each other or not.
- the task is solved by another by a refrigeration device, in particular a
- the icemaker can be mounted on a door of the refrigeration device. This has the advantage that it is always easily accessible when the door is open for filling or for taking out finished ice.
- the icemaker When the icemaker is mounted in a body of the refrigerator, it is preferably extractable, on the one hand, to improve accessibility, on the other hand, in order to be able to otherwise use space between a rear of the icemaker and the rear wall of an interior of the carcass.
- the chamber which receives the dosing, in the withdrawal direction in front of the at least one tray is arranged so that it can be easily removed for filling.
- the tray it is sufficient if this or an over the tray extending basin is only partially exposed, so that water can be poured into it.
- Such a removable ice maker can be conveniently integrated into a drawer of the refrigerator.

- Fig. 1 is an interior view of a door 14 of a refrigerator, e.g. one
- the door 14 has a known per se structure with an outer skin 15 formed of sheet metal, a deepened plastic inner wall 16 and enclosed by the outer skin 15 and inner wall 16, filled with heat-insulating synthetic resin foam gap.
- On the inner wall 16 a large flat projection 17 is tightened, which engages in the closed position of the door 14 in an interior of a refrigerator, not shown in FIG.
- three arms 18 are formed during deep drawing of the inner wall 16, each holding a tray 1 by two.
- the tray 1 comprises, in a manner known per se, two rows of compartments 1 integrally connected to one another.
- the upper edges of intermediate walls 3 which extend between adjacent compartments 2 have notches 4 which are open at the top at their points of intersection or at their ends. If the tray is filled with a nominal filling amount of water, the water level in the tray is equal to the notches 4, so that the subjects 2 via the notches 4 communicate with each other and adjusts the same water level in all compartments 2.
- the compartments 2 inside are free of sharp edges and have a downwardly continuously decreasing cross-section.
- the partition walls 3 and side walls 5, 6 go over each
- the slope of the narrow side walls 5 increases continuously from bottom to top, and at least above the intermediate walls 3, the narrow side walls 5 extend vertically.
- the long side walls 6, however, are divided vertically into three successive sections. As can be seen most clearly in the section of Fig. 3, in a lower portion 9, the wall slope increases continuously from bottom to top. It reaches its highest value at a height of the notches 4 extending horizontal edge 10. Above this edge 10, a middle closes Section 1 1, which is less steep than the adjacent lower wall portion 9. The middle portion 1 1 and an upper portion 12 go over a continuous
- the ice maker tray is made of an elastic plastic does not affect the superiority of the portions 12 the possibility of making the tray as a molded part.
- a one-piece mold used for molding the inner surfaces of the tray 1 may be forcibly demolded after injection molding with elastic deformation of the portions 12.
- the capacity of the tray 1 is significantly larger than that of a tray, in which the upper edges of outer and intermediate walls are approximately equal.
- the tray 1 should not be filled to the top of its side walls 5, 6, on the one hand, because then a security against spilling during opening and closing the door 14 is not given, on the other hand, because then a single, over all subjects 2 extending and would be obtained only with great difficulty to demolding block of ice.
- a dosing 49 is mounted above each tray 1.
- the metering containers 49 are provided with calibration marks 50, which have upper and lower limits of permissible
- the calibration marks 50 are set so that the amount of water defined by them is sufficient to flood the respective deepest points of the notches 4 in the trays 1, but not the upper edges of the intermediate walls 3.
- a normally closed drainage opening 51 extends in a slot shape in the width direction of the door above all the compartments 2 of the row immediately adjacent to the door. Thus, when the drain 51 is opened, all these compartments 2 are filled at the same time, and as soon as they are full, the compartments 2 of the row facing away from the door 14 also fill with the water flowing over the notches 4.
- FIG. 3 shows a section through the ice maker in a plane perpendicular to the door 14 and passing through one of the trays 1 and the drain 51.
- a plate-shaped, slotted transversely to the cutting plane of FIG. 3 closing body 52 is slidably guided in a tightly closing gap 53 at the bottom of the dosing 49 and abuts a valve 51 surrounding the valve seat of the dosing 49.
- a lower end of the closing body 52 is supported on the upper edge of the door-near longitudinal wall 6.
- the icemaker tray is pivotally suspended on the arms 18 about an axis 23 parallel to the door 14 ( Figure 1). In a shown in Fig. 3 by solid lines freezing position of the tray 1, the upper edges of the outer walls 5, 6 and
- a lever 20 is seen in a gap between the two trays 1, which is suspended in front of a collecting container 56 suspended from the door 14
- Fig. 4 shows a section through the ice maker along a transverse to the door 14 through the gap of the lever 20 extending plane.
- a projection 28 of the lever 20 abuts against a web 29 extending between the two trays 1.
- a further pivoting of the lever 20 is possible from this position only together with the trays 1 about the axis 23.
- FIG. 5 shows a development of the embodiment described above in a view analogous to FIG. 1.
- the metering containers 49, the trays 1 and the lever 20 are the same as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
- a housing 57 with a main wall 58 parallel to the door 14 and perpendicular flanks 59 is provided for concealing on the inner wall 16 at least the trays 1 and, in the case shown here, also the outer walls of the dosing containers 49.
- the housing 57 may, for example, be attached to the arms 18 or the metering containers 49 in any suitable manner.
- the attachment should be releasable by the user to expose the trays 1, if necessary, and e.g. to be able to liberate them from their mobility restricting ice.
- Collecting container 56 for finished pieces of ice can be pulled out of the housing 57 or pulled out in the form of drawers.
- At the lower edges of the main wall 58 and flanks 59 can not be seen in Fig. 5, in the assembled state of the housing 57 to the projection 15 of the door extending base plate to the interior of the ice maker in operation substantially against the remaining interior of the To seal the refrigerator and thus prevent moisture from the icemaker to increased frost formation in the
- the collecting container 56 is present twice in the embodiment of FIG. 5 and in each case assigned to one of the trays 1. Thus, space for the depending lever 20 can be kept free between the two receptacles 56, and it is possible to unfold one of the receptacles 56 without having to swing the lever 20 up.
- Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of an ice maker according to a third
- a rectangular frame 39 open at the top and bottom surrounds two ice maker trays 1 of the same type as described above.
- the trays 1 are suspended on arms 18 with top oblique surfaces 48, and a lever 20 for pivoting the trays 1 hangs down over a longitudinal wall of the frame 39.
- a compartment 60 for a dosing 61 is recessed.
- the dosing tank 61 is provided with calibration marks 50 which correspond to the desired filling quantity of a Trays 1 correspond. By a single emptying of the dosing container 61 in a tray 1 this is therefore completely filled.
- a dosing with half calibration volume could be provided, which would be emptied twice in a tray 1 as a result, to fill it completely; because of the extra work for the user, this variant is not preferred.
- Fig. 7 shows a cross section through a further developed embodiment of
- a lid 62 is inserted with a basin-like recess 63 from above into the frame 39.
- the basin-like depression 63 like the dosing vessel 49 of FIG. 1, has a drain 51 in the form of an elongated slot extending over a series of compartments 2. By the drain 51 is placed so that it can dehydrate only in the compartments 2, it is impossible that water is spilled during filling and freezes in a place where it obstructs the pivoting movement of the tray 1.
- FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of a refrigerator body 41 with the ice maker of FIG. 7.
- a pull-out box 40 is largely in one of the body 41
- a rear wall 46 extending in the width direction of the pull-out box 40 divides the pull-out box 40 into a relatively small depth front pocket 42 and a main pocket 47 lying behind it.
- the width and depth of the pocket 42 correspond to the dimensions of the frame 39.
- From the walls of the pocket 42 inside projecting narrow horizontal webs 43 support the frame 39 so that the outer edge of the lid 62 flush with the upper edges of the walls of the tray 42.
- Below the webs 43 a collecting container for finished pieces of ice in the form of a drawer 45 is arranged, which is pulled out of the latter on the front side of the pull-out box 40. To use the ice maker, it is therefore sufficient, the
- Extract drawer 40 so far that the dosing 61 can be removed to fill with this the two trays 1 and after freezing the water in trays 1 the lever 20 Friedzuschwenken and preferable. The by the resulting distortion of the trays 1 ejected pieces of ice fall into the drawer 45 and can be removed through this.
- the pull-out box 40 does not have to be pulled further than the back wall 46 of the front compartment 42, the main compartment 47 located behind it remains protected against the entry of warm and moist outside air.
- FIG. 1 An alternative embodiment of a refrigerator with an ice maker mounted in an extract box 40 is shown in FIG.
- the icemaker is housed in a compartment 42 partitioned off on one longitudinal side of the drawer 40 and under the icemaker extends a narrow but deep drawer 45 for catching the finished ice.
- the icemaker is placeable in the tray 42 only in one orientation, with the lever 20 hanging in the main compartment 47.
- the dosing container 61 is located directly on the front edge of the pull-out box 40, so that the latter must be pulled out so far only to remove the dosing container 61, that the dosing container 61 is exposed.
- the recesses 63 of the cover 62 each lying above a tray 1, can be exposed so far that water can be poured in conveniently.
- the drawer 40 In an ice maker with two trays, as shown in Fig. 6, the drawer 40 must be pulled out by much more than half its depth to fill the rear tray 1 can. In order to reduce the required displacement of the pull-out box 40, it may therefore be expedient in the embodiment of FIG. 9 to equip the icemaker with a single instead of two trays 1 and a lever for pivoting and twisting the tray 1 to the tray 60th adjacent narrow side wall 5 of this tray 1 to install.
