Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cooling appliance having an ice maker assembly.
- the ice maker assembly can be a manual or an automated system configured to freeze water and supply the user with ice.
- manual systems the user must rotate the ice mold to free ice produced inside the ice mold on regular intervals.
- the automated systems work similarly with the difference that the ice maker assembly rotates the ice mold on predetermined time intervals in order to free ice produced inside the ice mold.
- the ice is than stored inside a container located underneath or in close vicinity of the ice mold.
- a problem with the conventional automatic ice maker assemblies is the fact that the water delivered into the ice mold accumulates in a part of the ice mold close to the water supply whereas a major portion of the ice mold remains empty.
- the ice pieces that are formed are not uniform in volume. This decreases the quality of the ice pieces formed and as a result the quality perception of the cooling appliance. Additionally, water expands as it freezes. Water accumulated in a section of the ice mold forms an ice much bigger than required which in turn may damage the operational parts of the ice maker assembly as the ice mold rotates.
- Another problem with the state of the art is that an ice piece formed inside the ice mold that is much smaller than the required size, tends to remain inside the ice mold even if the ice mold is rotated. This causes an accumulation of ice over time which may cause the formation of one big ice chunk completely covering the upper surface of the ice mold. This situation is especially dangerous as it will cause the water to accumulate inside the ice maker assembly in the form of an ice block which in turn will damage the ice maker assembly.
- a prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as US2014165602A1 among others, the document disclosing a cooling appliance having an ice maker assembly wherein the ice mold is rotatably placed onto the ice maker assembly.
- a prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as US2014165643A1 among others, the document disclosing a cooling appliance having an ice maker assembly wherein the ice mold is rotatably placed onto the ice maker assembly.
- a prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as US2015362242A1 among others, the document disclosing a cooling appliance having an ice maker assembly wherein the rotation of the ice mold is limited by means of a plurality of stoppers.
- a prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as WO2018041525A1 among others, the document disclosing a cooling appliance having an ice maker assembly.
- WO 2015/015822 A1 shows that an ice tray can be tilted with respect to a rotary drive shaft.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide an ice maker assembly having an ice mold into which the water is equally distributed.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an ice maker assembly that is able to produce ice pieces having substantially the same volume and size.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an ice maker assembly wherein the water leakage and formation of large ice chunks is prevented.
- the present invention disclosed in the first claim and the dependent claims comprises a cooling appliance.
- the cooling appliance comprises an ice maker assembly.
- the ice maker assembly comprises a frame and an ice mold rotatably placed onto the frame and therefore onto the ice maker assembly.
- the ice mold includes plurality of cavities wherein the water to be frozen is filled.

- the cooling appliance further comprises a control unit wherein the control unit activates a water pump to direct a certain amount of water into the ice mold.
- a water outlet is provided above the ice mold and is in fluid communication with a water storage or water main.
- the control unit Upon being activation of the pump by the control unit, the water exits from the water outlet and fills into the ice mold. The amount of water is measured and controlled to prevent water overflows.
- the water is introduced into the ice mold.
- the control unit activates the agitation means and rotates the ice mold with respect to the axis (I), thereby releasing ice pieces.
- the ice pieces are then stored in the container provided underneath the ice mold. Afterwards, fresh water to be frozen is introduced into the ice mold.
- the control unit activates the agitation means by a predetermined angle, which in turn will distribute water equally inside the cavities of the ice mold.
- the said angle is significantly smaller than the angle formed by rotation of the ice mold to release ice pieces.
- the agitation means rotates the ice mold towards a first direction and then to a second direction opposite to the first direction. By means of this, water is distributed equally among the cavities.
- the agitation means rotates the ice mold sequentially towards the first direction and then to the second direction more than once. By means of which, the water is distributed even better. As a result, ice pieces having the same shape and volume are obtained.
- the ice mold comprises a first support and a second support that are used to place the ice mold onto the ice maker assembly in a rotatably manner.
- the said supports extend away from the ice mold along the axis.
- Said supports are placed into respective recesses provided on the ice maker assembly.
- Said recesses comprises a wedge shaped bottom onto which the supports are placed.
- the ice mold comprises plurality of walls that are used to divide the inner volume of the ice mold into the cavities.

- the crevice is coated with a hydrophobic material.
- the hydrophobic material facilitates the passage of water between the adjacent cavities.
- the hydrophobic material also decreases the capillary effect caused by the narrowness of the crevices.
- the rotation angle of the ice mold caused by the activation of the agitation means in order to distribute water between adjacent cavities is between 1 and 20 degrees. In a preferred embodiment, the said angle is is between 1 and 15 degrees. In a further preferred embodiment, the said angle is is between 1 and 10 degrees. In a further preferred embodiment, the said angle is is between 4 and 7 degrees
- the ice maker assembly divides the water among the cavities provided on the ice mold. This helps production of ice pieces having similar size and volume. Another advantageous effect is that the inner volume of the ice mold is utilized efficiently which in turn increases the amount of ice produced in a single ice making cycle.
