The carrier 61 is positioned by fitting the upper portion of the carrier. That is, the guide roller 7 is provided in the rear notch 76b.
By pulling out the carrier 61 from the support box 10 to the position where the 7 is fitted, the water storage tank 34 can be lifted and carried from the carrier 61 as shown in FIG. Further, by carrying the transport body 61 into the support box 10 to a position where the guide roller 77 fits into the front notch 76a, the rollers 72 of the transport body 61 are moved to the fixed positions of the detection plate 73 as shown in FIG. Is placed.

Here, the carrier 6 with respect to the detection plate 73
If the mounting position of the roller 72 in 1 is not constant,
Weight detection cannot always be performed under the same conditions. Therefore, in the embodiment, when the water storage tank 34 is stored in the support box 10 together with the carrier 61 after maintenance such as water supply to the water storage tank 34, the guide roller 62 is not limited to the front notch 76a. It is configured to fit (to face the regular position) (see FIG. 6). That is, at a position where the operator pushes the transport body 61 on which the water storage tank 34 is placed and carries the transport body 61 into the support box body 10, and the rear end thereof abuts on the holding member 74,
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the front edge of the front notch 76 a is set so as to face a front position not exceeding a perpendicular passing through the center of the guide roller 77. In this state, the transport body 61 is not stable, so if the operator releases his / her hand, the transport body 61 moves to the front side by its own weight, and the guide roller 77 fits into the front notch 76a. A projecting piece 78 projecting forward by a required amount is formed at the front end of the carrier 61, and the carrier 61 is carried in from the regular position in the support box 10 to the near side.

At this time, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the rear end edge of the front notch portion 76a is set so as to face the rear side not exceeding a perpendicular passing through the center of the guide roller 77. In this state, the transport body 61 is not stable, as described above, and thus moves rearward by its own weight, and the guide roller 77 fits into the front notch 76a. With this configuration, when the transport body 61 is stored in the support box 10, the transport body 61 is always positioned at a position where the guide roller 77 fits into the front notch 76a. Is placed in a fixed position. As a result, the detection plate 73 can always perform weight detection under the same conditions.

[0018]

[Operation of Embodiment Next, a description will be given to the action of the engagement Ru water storage type ice making device in the examples. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the carrier 61 is pulled out of the support box 10, and a water storage tank 34 in which a required amount of water has been supplied (full state) at another location is transported to the carrier 61.
Then, the carrier 61 is carried into the box 10.
The roller 72 of the carrier 61 moves along the guide rail 71 and is transferred to the detection plate 73. Also, the carrier 6
The guide roller 77 fits into the front notch 76a of the rail member 76 in 1 and the transport body 61 is stored at a fixed position. At this time, since the water storage tank 34 is in a full state (a state in which the amount of water in the tank is larger than a predetermined value), the detection plate 73 tilts downward against the elasticity of the tension spring 75, and the weight switch SW is turned on.
Also, when storing the water storage tank 34 in the support box 10, the second hose 64 is attached to the male joint 68 of the third hose 65 attached to the opening 35 of the tank 34 via the female joint 67. . Thereby, the water supply pump P
The suction port of M and the water storage tank 34 are connected to three hoses 63,
64 and 65 are connected by a water absorption hose 62.

In this state, when an operation switch (not shown) of the ice maker 12 is turned on, the weight switch SW is in an ON state, so that power is supplied to the ice maker 12, and the ice making and elimination of the ice maker 12 is performed. Ice operation is started. When the water supply pump PM is energized by the ice making / de-icing operation of the ice making machine 12, water in the water storage tank 34 is sucked into the pump PM via the water absorption hose 62, and is supplied via the water supply hose 52 and the supply pipe 50. The ice is supplied to the ice making unit 24 of the ice making machine 12. Vibration occurs with the operation of the water supply pump PM, but the first hose 63 connected to the suction port of the pump PM
Is low in hardness, so that the vibration of the pump PM
The second hose 6 having a higher hardness than the hose 63 through the third hose 6
4 can be suppressed. Moreover, since the water absorption hose 62 is surrounded by the vibration absorber 69, the vibration is not directly transmitted to the support box 10, and the vibration noise generated when the ice making device is operated can be suppressed to a very small level.

During the ice making operation of the ice making machine 12, the water tray 2
The excess water overflowing from 6 is discharged to the drain receiving section 31 and the drain pipe 32.
And discharged to the return hose 56 via the pipe joint 54,
The surplus water is collected in the water storage tank 34. The ice-making residual water discharged from the water tray 26 tilted at a predetermined angle by the de-icing operation of the ice making machine 12 to the drainage receiving portion 31 is discharged to the return hose 56 via the drainage pipe 32 and the pipe joint 54, and the ice making is performed. Residual water is collected in a water storage tank 34. When the ice making / de-icing operation of the ice making machine 12 is repeated and the amount of water in the water storage tank 34 decreases to a predetermined value or less, the detection plate 73 is tilted upward by the elastic force of the tension spring 75 to be horizontal. As a result, the weight switch SW is turned off, and a stop signal is sent to the ice making machine 12. Note that the water absorption hose 6 for supplying the water in the water storage tank 34 to the ice making unit 24 is provided.
2 and a return hose 5 for collecting the ice making residual water from the water supply hose 52 and the ice making unit 24 into the water storage tank 34.
6, by forming an antibacterial resin as a material,
It is possible to suppress the propagation of various germs and always perform ice making under sanitary conditions.

When supplying water to the water storage tank 34,
First, the panel 60 is removed from the support box 10, and the female joint 67 of the second hose 64 attached to the opening 35 of the water storage tank 34 is connected to the male joint 6 of the third hose 65.
8 and the return hose 56 is withdrawn from the through hole 35a. Since the hardness of both the second hose 64 and the return hose 56 is set to be higher than a predetermined hardness, there is no possibility that the second hose 64 and the return hose 56 will be bent and crushed when being removed from the water storage tank 34, thereby preventing the occurrence of poor water supply. In this state, by pulling out the transport body 61 to the near side, the water storage tank 34 placed on the transport body 61 is pulled out from the support box 10 (see FIG. 1). Also, the rail member 76 of the transport body 61
The guide roller 77 pivotally supported by the guide rail 71 is fitted into the rear notch 76b, and the carrier 61 is stably positioned at the drawn-out position. After transporting the water storage tank 34 drawn out of the support box 10 to another location and supplying a required amount of water, the tank 34 is placed again on the carrier 61 and stored in the box 10. Accordingly, the weight switch SW is turned ON as described above, and the operation of the ice maker 12 becomes possible. The water storage tank 34 housed in the support box 10 has a second hose 64 of the water absorption hose 62.
And the return hose 56 is communicated through the opening 35. In addition, when the water storage tank 34 is taken out from the support box 10, the third hose 65 that is always immersed in water and to which water deposits adhere is removed from the tank 34 and can be easily washed.

When the water storage tank 34 after water supply is stored in the support box 10, the operator often does not carry the carrier 61 to the correct position. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the transport body 61 may be carried in beyond the normal position to a position where the rear end abuts on the holding member 74, or as shown in FIG. In some cases, loading may be completed at a position that does not reach. In this case, in the state shown in FIG.
Since the front edge of the front notch 76a of the first rail member 76 is located on the front side not exceeding a perpendicular passing through the center of the guide roller 77 (see FIG. 8), if the operator releases his / her hand, the transport body 61 will lose its own weight. As a result, the guide roller 77 fits into the front notch 76a and is positioned at a regular position. In the state shown in FIG. 9, when the panel 60 is attached to the front of the support box 10, the carrier 6 is attached to the back of the panel 60.
The one protruding piece 78 comes into contact and is pushed into the support box body 10, and as shown in FIG. 10, the rear edge of the front notch 76 a faces the rear side not exceeding a perpendicular passing through the center of the guide roller 77.
Therefore, the transport body 61 moves rearward due to its own weight, and the guide roller 77 fits into the front notch 76a and is positioned at a regular position. As a result, the rollers 72 of the transport body 61
Is placed at a fixed position on the detection plate 73, and the detection plate 73
Thus, weight detection can always be performed under the same conditions.

Although the embodiment has been described in connection with the case where the water suction hose connecting the water supply pump and the water storage tank is constituted by three hoses which can be divided mutually, the present invention is not limited to this. The second hose and the third hose may be integrated with each other to form a water-absorbing hose with two hoses. Further, the second hose and the third hose need not have a three-layer structure as in the embodiment, but may have a one-layer structure made of only a material having a hardness higher than a predetermined hardness. Further, in the embodiment, in order to make the second hose higher in hardness than the first hose, a material having high hardness is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the first hose and the second hose may be used. Assuming that the second hose is formed of the same material, the hardness may be increased by increasing the thickness of the second hose, or the hardness may be increased by changing the shape. The ice maker mounted on the support box is not limited to the configuration of the embodiment, and a closed cell type ice maker, an open cell type ice maker, a water flow type ice maker, and the like can be appropriately used. .

[0024]

As described above, the water storage type according to the present invention
According to the ice making device, the first water supply pump is connected to the first inlet.
Since the second hose having a higher hardness than the first hose connected to the water storage tank is connected to the hose, the vibration during the operation of the water supply pump can be absorbed by the first hose to suppress the generation of vibration noise. it can. In addition, since the second hose communicating with the water storage tank is higher than a predetermined hardness, the second hose is not bent and crushed during removal from or attachment to the water storage tank, and the occurrence of poor water supply can be effectively prevented. Further, by configuring the second hose to be detachable with respect to the third hose inserted into the water storage tank, the water storage tank can be easily taken out of the box, and the third hose can be easily taken out.
The hose itself can be easily cleaned outside the box,
It has the advantage that it can be kept hygienic at all times.
