Conventionally, there have been various mechanisms and control systems for improving the discharging characteristics of ice dispensers, and a typical one is the one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 56-67591. In the vending machine disclosed in the same publication, as shown in FIG. When it is full of ice, an ice storage switch (not shown) detects that it is full and stops the ice making operation. When releasing the ice stored in the ice storage 2, an ice release switch (not shown) is operated, and a drive motor (also not shown) is driven to rotate the agitation device 4 connected to the drive motor, thereby stirring the ice. After the ice is stirred by the device 4 for a certain period of time, the ice discharge door 7 is opened for a certain period of time, so that a certain amount of ice can be discharged. The reason why the ice discharge door 7 is opened after a certain period of time after the stirring device 4 is rotated is that the ice making mechanism 1 stops operating when the ice storage switch detects that the ice storage 2 is full. If the ice is not released for a long period of time, the ice will stick to each other due to the surface tension of the melted water created during that time, or the adsorbed ice will connect to each other in the form of a bridge called arching. As a result, ice becomes difficult to come out and the amount of ice released decreases in the initial stage of operation of the stirring device 4. Therefore, the initial operation of the stirring device 4 is used to break the adsorption state or arching state of ice in advance. be.

However, each time the ice release switch is operated, the ice release door 7 is opened after rotating the stirring device 4 for a certain period of time, so the ice release time calculated from the time the ice release switch is operated becomes longer. I ended up
Not only does the ice discharging efficiency decrease, but the total time during which the ice is stirred by the stirring device also increases, resulting in more powdered ice being generated and the quality of the ice discharged from the ice storage 2 being degraded. In particular, it is known that when the water quality deteriorates, the ice quality also becomes brittle and powdered ice is more likely to be generated.Therefore, there has been a desire for an ice dispenser that does not release such powdered ice to the outside.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to provide an ice dispenser that does not release powdered ice to the outside even if powdered ice is generated in the ice storage.According to the present invention, the ice dispenser , an auger-type ice making mechanism, an ice storage connected to the ice making mechanism for receiving and storing ice grains produced by the ice making mechanism, and an ice storage provided within the ice storage and containing ice in the ice storage. The stirring device includes a stirring device for stirring grains, and an ice discharge device for selectively opening and closing an ice discharge port formed in the ice storage, and the stirring device is driven at least during operation of the ice making mechanism. The ice storage is provided with a heating means for melting powdered ice or the like near the bottom of the ice storage.

The ice-making mechanism is of an auger type, and at least during the ice-making operation, a stirring device stirs the ice grains in the ice storage, so powdered ice is generated by the stirring. Also,
Of course, when the ice storage is full of ice particles, the operation of the ice making mechanism is stopped. If the operation of the ice making mechanism section continues for a long time, the ice grains that have been left for a long time will gradually melt and become smaller. However, if the heating means installed in the ice storage is energized, ice grains that have been left in the ice storage for a long time and have become smaller, and powdered ice produced by the stirring of the stirring device can be removed by the energized heating. melted by means. The ice that has been melted and reduced by the heating means is replenished with new ice immediately after ice making by the ice making mechanism performing ice making operation, so that almost uniform ice particles are always stored in the ice storage.

Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts. FIG. 1 shows an ice dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention. Ice made by an auger-type ice making mechanism 1 is stored in an ice storage 2, and when the ice storage 2 is full, it is disposed of as is well known. It is detected by the ice storage switch 3, the compressor and drive motor 5 (not shown) are stopped, and the ice making operation of the ice making mechanism section 1 is stopped. The stirring device 4 in the ice storage 2 is connected to the auger 1 in the ice making mechanism section 1.
a, and is rotated together with the auger 1a by a drive motor 5, that is, driven during the ice making operation of the ice making mechanism section 1. Moreover, the ice release door (ice release device) 7 is attached to the lower side surface of the ice storage 2, and is opened and closed by a solenoid 7a. At the bottom of the ice storage 2, a conical perforated plate or drainboard 8 is provided as the bottom plate of the ice storage to improve drainage of the stored ice. is equipped with a heating means or heater 9 for heating the ice. This heater 9 is connected to a power source via a main switch of a machine (not shown). In the ice dispenser having the above configuration,
When the main switch of the machine is closed, the heater 9 is energized and an ice-making operation similar to that described in connection with FIG. 5 is performed. As the ice making operation continues, when the ice storage 2 becomes full of ice and the ice storage switch 3 operates, the ice making operation is stopped, and when the ice that is full is discharged and the ice storage switch becomes inoperable, the ice making operation is performed again. In this way, the ice making operation is repeated. Since the heater 9 is connected to the power source via the main switch of the machine, it is energized as soon as the main switch is closed, and continues to be energized until the main switch is opened. Therefore, even while the ice storage switch 3 is operating and the ice making operation is interrupted, the heater 9 is energized, and the ice stored in the lower part of the ice storage 2 is constantly heated by the heater 9 via the drainboard 8. , the part of the ice that is in contact with the drainboard 8 will melt. In particular, powdered ice and fine ice tend to pass through normal-sized ice particles and accumulate at the bottom during stirring vibration by the stirring device 4, so such powdered ice and fine ice are preferentially melted and Water is drained to the outside through a drainage hole 2a formed at the bottom of the tank. When a certain amount of ice melts and the amount of stored ice decreases, and the ice storage switch 3 no longer detects that the ice storage is full, the drive motor 5 and the compressor (not shown) are operated again to replenish new ice.
The old ice in contact with the drainboard 8 is melted by the heater 9, and in this way a part of the old ice is constantly replaced. For example, if there is no ice in the ice storage due to the ice-making mechanism 1 not performing ice-making operation for some reason, the heater 9 may continue to heat up. Abnormal rise in temperature within the ice storage 2 must be avoided. In order to prevent such an abnormal rise in temperature within the ice storage 2, it is preferable to install a thermostat for detecting the temperature of the heater 9 on the back side of the drainboard 8 along the heater 9. The thermostat is electrically connected in series with the heater 9, and when the thermostat detects a temperature of the heater 9 that is above a predetermined value, it opens its contacts and stops supplying electricity to the heater 9. In the above embodiment, the heater 9 that is constantly heated is provided only on the lower surface of the drainboard 8, but as shown in FIG. It may be provided on the side surface of the holder, and the same effect as in FIG. 1 can be obtained in this case as well. Moreover, FIG. 3 shows a case where the heater 9 is provided only on the side of the ice storage. In addition, in the above embodiment, a heater 9 that is constantly heated is provided in the ice storage as a heating means, but as a heating means, a part of the freezing pipe is bypassed via a solenoid valve etc. to supply hot gas. The bypass branched piping is shown in Figures 1 to 3.
It is also possible to use one arranged as shown in the figure. In this case, after the ice storage switch 3 detects that the ice storage 2 is full, the solenoid valve is opened for a certain period of time and hot gas flows, thereby causing the ice storage 2 to become full.
Heat can be applied to the ice inside. FIGS. 4A and 4B show still another embodiment of the present invention, in which a hot water piping path 16 is used as a heating means for passing hot water to heat the ice in the ice storage.
, a pump for circulating hot water in the hot water piping route 16, and a heater 12 for producing hot water, and the hot water piping route is arranged in place of the heater 9 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. The configuration shown is as follows. In FIG. 4A, ice made by the ice making mechanism section 1 is stored in the ice storage 2. As shown in FIG. Hot water tank 11
There is a heater 12 for heating water to make it hot water.
It is equipped with a temperature sensing tube 13 as a temperature regulator.
As shown in the electric circuit of FIG. 4B, the temperature-sensitive cylinder 13
When the temperature reaches a certain temperature (for example, 95 degrees Celsius) or higher, the contact Th in the temperature controller opens and stops energizing the heater 12, and when the temperature falls below a certain temperature, the contact Th closes and energizes the heater 12, which causes hot water to flow. The water inside the tank 11 is heated to keep the inside of the hot water tank 11 at a constant temperature. After the power is turned on, the first
When the set time (e.g. 30 minutes) of the timer TM1 has elapsed, the contact TM1-1 of the first timer TM1 closes, the first relay X1 is energized, and its normally open contacts X1-1 and X1- 2 closes. As a result, the solenoid valve 14 is energized and opened, and the pump motor 15 is operated at the same time, and the hot water in the hot water tank 11 is circulated in the hot water circulation path 16.
The ice in the ice storage 2 is heated by the heat conduction,
Powdered ice or ice that has become smaller over a long period of time is melted. At the same time, the second timer TM2 starts counting, and when the set time (for example, 1 minute) is reached, the contact TM2
-1 opens, the first timer TM1 is reset, and the contact TM1-1 of the first timer TM1 also opens, so the normally open contacts X 1-1 and X 1-2 of the first relay X 1 open.
opens, the solenoid valve 14 closes, and the pump motor 1
5 also stops, and hot water circulation stops. At the same time, the second
Since timer TM2 is also reset, its contact
TM2-1 closes and the first timer TM1 starts counting. In this way, hot water circulates through the hot water circulation path 16 at every set time, and the ice in the ice storage 2 is heated by the heat conduction, melting powdered ice and ice that has been left for a long time. . Although FIG. 4A shows a case in which the hot water circulation path 16 is provided on the lower surface of the drainboard 8, the hot water circulation path 16 is installed in the ice storage 2 as in the heater shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It may be provided on the side surface or on both the side surface and the lower surface. When the configuration shown in Figures 4A and 4B is applied to a vending machine, the hot water tank for hot drinks can be used as is, so it can be implemented extremely economically without increasing the number of parts. It has the advantage of being able to

As described above, according to the present invention, since the ice storage is equipped with a heating means to constantly melt the ice, it is possible to avoid problems such as the generation of a lot of powdered ice due to poor water quality, fluctuations in ambient temperature, and long periods of time. Even if the ice stored in the ice storage becomes fine due to being left unattended, powdered ice or fine ice melts quickly, so ice of approximately uniform size can always be stored in the ice storage. I can,
Therefore, variations in the amount of ice released can be minimized.
