Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ice maker for installation in a refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigerator.
  • Out DE 41 13 767 A1 is an ice maker with a pivotable about an axis, divided into compartments for creating a piece of ice divided tray and a frame in which the tray is held.
  • the tray of this conventional ice maker is pivotable between a horizontal position in which water can freeze in the compartments and a demolding position, in which the subjects are turned down and pieces of ice contained therein are driven out by twisting the tray.
  • the frame is largely open and does not prevent the spread of water vapor from the trays of the tray. If this is reflected in other parts of the refrigerator, refrigerated goods or evaporators, this may require a premature defrosting.
  • the well-known ice maker is therefore housed in a separate chamber of a refrigerator, separated from other refrigerated goods, which he occupies even when it is not needed. Even if the icemaker could be completely removed from this chamber, the usability of such a chamber for other refrigerated goods is limited due to their small size.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide an ice maker with a pivoting tray, which can be housed together with other refrigerated goods in a compartment of a refrigerator, without leading to increased stress on the compartment by frost formation.
  • the frame has closed walls surrounding the generally rectangular tray on four sides.
  • a bearing for a pivot axis of the tray may conveniently be attached to the lid.
  • the lid lifted from the frame and thereby the tray is removed.
  • the lid preferably comprises a basin draining into the compartments of the tray. While direct free-handed pouring of water from above into a tray may not prevent water from being splashed outside the tray or being poured near the tray, the position of a sink of the bowl can be determined to safely exclude this hazard can be.
  • the outflow of the pool can expediently run parallel into several compartments of the tray.
  • a removable from the icemaker measuring container whose volume corresponds to the capacity of the tray or an integral fraction of the capacity of the tablet.
  • a recess covered on the top by the lid may be formed.
  • An edge region of the cover which covers the recess is preferably hollow underneath; this provides a user with the opportunity to extract the icemaker from a refrigerator in which it is placed by engaging in the cavity of the lid.
  • a recess which receives the measuring container can directly adjoin said end face of the housing. So the icemaker needs only a little to be pulled forward, so that the measuring container is accessible and can be removed.
  • the frame is provided on two long sides with first holding contours for anchoring in the refrigerator.
  • the holding contours allow a horizontal displacement of the ice maker in the direction of the long sides.
  • the retaining contours are formed as projecting laterally from the longitudinal sides horizontal webs which engage in mutually facing grooves of the refrigeration device.
  • Second holding contours for slidably receiving the collecting container are expediently arranged on the underside of the frame.
  • the second holding contours allow the collecting container to be pulled out while the frame remains in place. Since the collecting container is arranged on the underside of the frame, the space requirement of the ice maker in the refrigerator can be reduced by removing the collecting container.
  • the first and second holding contours are shaped complementary to one another.
  • This complementarity manifests itself in that the first holding contours of an identical second frame could be hung on the second retaining contours of a first frame, or, which is of practical significance, that retaining contours of a refrigeration device complementary to the first holding contours of the frame instead of the frame also the Collection container can be attached.
  • the frame can be removed together with the tray from the refrigerator and be installed in its place the container to store finished pieces of ice space saving and easy to find.
  • a lever is preferably provided which is rotationally coupled for pivoting and twisting of the tray to the latter.
  • This lever is preferably accessible at the top of the ice maker.
  • the lever and the tray are preferably coupled via a variable-ratio mechanism.
  • the in Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated icemaker has a substantially cuboid, open at the top and bottom, molded plastic frame 1.
  • a lid 2, which closes the open top of the frame 1 has two from above into the frame 1 engaging walls 3, 4, in which Bearing for an extending between the walls 3, 4, extending around a longitudinal axis of the ice maker axis pivoting tray 5 is held.
  • the molded of an elastic plastic tray 5 is divided in a conventional manner into a plurality of compartments 6, which are provided to receive freezing water.
  • Partitions between the compartments 6 are also provided in known and not shown manner at their upper edges with notches to allow an overflow from a compartment 6 in an adjacent, as soon as in one compartment 6, the water level rises above the lowest point of such a notch , A target filling amount of the tray 5 is set so that all compartments 6 communicate with each other via notches.
  • a basin 7 is recessed in the lid 2.
  • a drain 8 of the basin ends above the compartments 6 of the tray 5, so that water poured into the basin 7 safely enters the compartments 6.
  • the drain 6 may have a plurality of openings over different compartments 6 to ensure a rapid flow of water.
  • the cross-section of each such opening is smaller than that of the compartments 6 interconnecting notches, so that via one of these openings water can not flow into a compartment 6 faster than it can escape to neighboring compartments via the notches. This ensures that the tray 5 can not overflow as long as the filled amount of water does not exceed its capacity.
  • the drain can also be designed as a slot extending over several compartments 6. This has the advantage of reducing the likelihood of blockage by frozen water in the outflow.
  • a recess 9 is provided at the top of the lid 2, in which a slider 10 is housed.
  • the slider is used for pivoting and twisting of the tray 5, as will be explained in more detail later. In his in Fig. 1 and 2 shown rest position, the slider is not on the top of the lid over.
  • a recess 12 is formed, which is provided to receive a measuring cup 13.
  • the shape of the recess 12 is largely complementary to that of the measuring cup 13 to to receive it substantially form-fitting when not in use, except for a finger recess 14 which is recessed from the front edge 11 to facilitate a user gripping a side wall 15 of the measuring cup 13 when it is placed in the recess 12.
  • the capacity of the measuring cup 13 corresponds to that of the tray 5. Therefore, it is sufficient to fill the tray 5 with water, the measuring cup 13 once to fill exactly and to empty it into the basin 7.
  • the volume of the measuring cup 13 is set as one n-th of the volume of the tray 5, where n is a small natural number. It would then be filled n times to fill the tray 5 of the measuring cup 13 and emptied into the basin 7.
  • the frame 1 comprises two longitudinal walls 16, a rear wall 17 and an end wall 18 which, when the ice maker is mounted in a refrigeration appliance, faces the door thereof.
  • At an upper edge of the longitudinal walls 16 outwardly projecting horizontal webs 19 form a support surface for the lid 2.
  • An upwardly and forwardly open concavity 20 of the end wall 18 is complementary to the downwardly open, hollow front edge 11 of the lid 2 to a undercut recess on which a user can pack the whole ice maker on the one hand and pull out of the refrigerator or can lift the lid 2 from the withdrawn icemaker by attacking from below, over the cavity 20, at the edge 11.
  • each longitudinal wall 16 At a lower edge of each longitudinal wall 16, a cross-sectionally C-shaped profile 21 is formed.
  • the profiles 21 limit facing grooves.
  • These C-profiles 21 and their grooves are dimensioned to slidably receive webs 22, which are integrally formed on upper edges of side walls 23 of a substantially box-shaped collecting container 24.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a refrigerator, such as a household freezer, which is equipped with the above-described ice maker.
  • a storage chamber of the freezer is divided in a conventional manner into a plurality of compartments 25, of which the upper are each closed by a flap 26, while 25 extract boxes 27 can be accommodated in the lower compartments.
  • One of the flaps 26 is shown in the open position, and in the rear compartment 25 of the icemaker 28 is housed.
  • On a ceiling 29 of the compartment 25, two extending in the depth direction L-profiles 30 are fixed, of which in the view of Fig. 3 one is hidden by the icemaker 28.
  • Horizontal legs of the two L-profiles 30 form bearing surfaces on which the webs 19 of the frame 1 slidably rest in the depth direction.
  • a user may prefer the ice maker 28 latched in an engaged stop position to overcome a low resistance, depending on how far the icemaker is pulled out , remove the measuring cup 13, actuate the slide 10 or pour water into the basin 7 can.
  • the collecting container 24 is provided on its underside with a handle recess 32. It is easier to move in the C-profiles 21 of the frame 1 than the entire ice maker 28 on the L-profiles 30, so that when pulling on the collecting container 24, the frame 1 remains at rest.
  • the ice maker 28 can be withdrawn as a whole from the L-profiles 30, so that it stows when not in use outside the freezer and thus freed up space can be used elsewhere. Due to the same dimensions of the webs 19 and 22, it is also possible to suspend the collecting container 24 to the L-profiles 30 directly and by itself. Thus, by removing only the frame 1 and the lid 2, much of the space occupied by the icemaker 28 in the compartment 25 can be freed, but finished ice cubes will still have a firm place in the receptacle 24 therein.
  • Fig. 4 shows a schematic section through the ice maker 28 along a plane which extends transversely to the pivot axis of the tray 5 through the recess 9. It can be seen here that the slide 10 is part of a one-armed lever 33, which is pivotable about an axis 35 which is displaced parallel to the pivot axis 34 of the tray 35 and extends through a slot 36 at the bottom of the recess 9. Both axes 34, 35 are fixed to the between the tray 5 and the lever 33 extending wall 4.
  • a wing 37 of the tray 5 extends in the axial direction, transverse to Sectional plane, from one of the wall 4 facing end side of the tray 5 over the wall 4 of time and is held pressed by a spring, not shown, acting on the tray 5 against a shoulder 38 of the lever 33.
  • the lever 33 is held by contact with the wing 37 in its rest position at one end of the slot 36.
  • the shoulder 38 and the wing 37 touch each other near the pivot axis 34th
