Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ice making machine, capable of preventing the leakage of ice making water. SOLUTION: Excessive ice making water travels along the inside wall surface 19 of a water pan 5 as well as a draining plate 37 while the draining plate 37 is formed so as to have a reverse L-shape to constitute a water dripping guide surface 37b. According to this method, the dripping ice making water flows along the water dripping guide surface 37b and drips into a water tank 6 whereby the water will not be contacted with the connecting part 38 between the water tank 6 and the water pan 5 thereby permitting the prevention of generation of capillary phenomenon.

According to these inventions, the water falling along the inner wall of the peripheral wall of the water dish is formed by forming the drain plate.
Since the water is guided into the water tank, the water does not flow out from the junction between the water tray and the water tank.
