Description
【０００１】[0001]
本考案は冷蔵庫内に設けられる自動製氷装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an automatic ice making device provided in a refrigerator.
【０００２】[0002]
従来の冷蔵庫内に構成される自動製氷装置は、冷凍室内に駆動手段を具えた回 転自在な製氷皿を設け、同製氷皿内に給水装置により水を供給して氷が作られた あと、上記駆動手段によって製氷皿を裏返しに回転し、同製氷皿内の氷を下部の 貯氷箱内に落下させて、これを収容してなるものであった。 In the conventional automatic ice making device configured in a refrigerator, a rotatable ice making plate equipped with a driving means is provided in the freezing chamber, and water is supplied by the water supply device into the ice making plate to make ice. The ice tray is rotated inside out by the driving means, the ice in the ice tray is dropped into the lower ice storage box, and the ice tray is accommodated therein.
【０００３】 また、上記駆動手段の側近には貯氷箱内の氷の有無を検出する検出レバーを設 け、同レバーの回転によって貯氷箱内の氷の量が検出され、その量が所定のレベ ル以下であると検出されると、上記駆動装置が作動して製氷皿が裏返しされ、同 製氷皿内の氷が貯氷箱内に脱氷されていた。Further, a detection lever for detecting the presence or absence of ice in the ice storage box is provided near the driving means, and the amount of ice in the ice storage box is detected by the rotation of the lever, and the amount of ice is detected at a predetermined level. When it is detected that the temperature is below the maximum, the above-mentioned drive device is activated, the ice tray is turned over, and the ice in the ice tray is deiced in the ice storage box.
【０００４】 上記従来型の自動製氷装置によると、氷の必要な時に上記貯氷箱を冷凍室から 取出しているので、この時上記検出レバーが回動すると、貯氷箱内の氷が無いも のと判断され、上記製氷皿内の氷が直接冷凍室内に落とされてしまう欠点を有し ていた。According to the conventional automatic ice making device, when the ice is needed, the ice storage box is taken out of the freezer compartment. Therefore, when the detection lever is rotated at this time, there is no ice in the ice storage box. It was judged that the ice in the ice tray was directly dropped into the freezer compartment.
【０００５】[0005]
本考案は上記従来型の欠点に鑑み考案されたものであって、冷凍室内の貯氷箱 を取出した際、検出レバーの動作をストップさせ、自動的に製氷皿内の氷が脱氷 されない様にする構造を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional type, and when the ice storage box in the freezer compartment is taken out, the operation of the detection lever is stopped so that the ice in the ice tray is not automatically deiced. The purpose is to provide a structure that
【０００６】[0006]
上記の課題を解決するための本考案の自動製氷装置は下記の構造を具えてなる ものである。即ち、冷蔵庫の冷凍室内に製氷皿とこれを回動させる駆動手段を具 えた自動製氷装置において、上記製氷皿の下部には取出し可能な貯氷箱を設け、 この上方には同貯氷箱内の氷の有無を検出する検出レバーを設け、同検出レバー の直下には貯氷箱の取出し時に上記検出レバーを係止する位置に突出する、出没 自在なストッパーを設けてなるものである。 The automatic ice making device of the present invention for solving the above problems has the following structure. That is, in an automatic ice making device equipped with an ice tray and a drive means for rotating the ice tray in a freezer compartment of a refrigerator, a removable ice storage box is provided at the bottom of the ice tray, and the ice inside the ice storage box is provided above the ice storage box. A detection lever for detecting the presence / absence of the presence / absence is provided, and a stopper which can be retracted and protruded is provided immediately below the detection lever so as to project to a position where the detection lever is locked when the ice storage box is taken out.
【０００７】[0007]
上記の構成において、製氷皿によって氷が作られると、検出レバーが回転して 、その直下の貯氷箱内の氷の有無が検出され、その量が所定のレベル以下である と検出されると、駆動装置が作動して製氷皿が裏返しされ、同製氷皿内の氷が貯 氷箱内に脱氷される。ここで、上記検出レバーの直下には貯氷箱に対向する位置 に出没自在なストッパーが設けてあるので、上記貯氷箱が取出されると、同スト ッパーが突出する。このストッパーの突出位置において、上記検出レバーの回転 時にその動きが係止される様に構成されており、同検出レバーのストップによっ て、上記駆動装置による製氷皿内の氷の脱氷が止められ、冷凍室内に氷が落とさ れるのが防止される。 In the above configuration, when ice is made by the ice tray, the detection lever rotates to detect the presence or absence of ice in the ice storage box immediately below it, and when it is detected that the amount is below a predetermined level, The drive device operates and the ice tray is turned over, and the ice in the ice tray is de-iced into the ice storage box. Here, since a stopper that can be retracted and retracted is provided immediately below the detection lever at a position facing the ice storage box, when the ice storage box is taken out, the stopper projects. At the protruding position of this stopper, the movement is configured to be locked when the detection lever is rotated, and the stop of the detection lever stops the de-icing of ice in the ice tray by the drive device. This prevents ice from falling into the freezer compartment.
【０００８】[0008]
以下本考案を図に示す一実施例に基づいて説明すると、図１において、１は冷 蔵庫の冷凍室内に設けられる製氷皿であって、同製氷皿１には回転軸が突設され 、その一側には駆動手段２が設けられている。この製氷皿１の下部には取出し自 在に貯氷箱３が設けられ、上記駆動手段２の一側には同貯氷箱３内の氷の有無を 検出するための検出レバー４が設けられている。また、同検出レバー４の直下に は貯氷箱３に対向するとともに、同貯氷箱３の取出し時に上記検出レバー４を係 止する位置に突出する、出没自在なストッパー５が設けられている。 The present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is an ice tray provided in a freezer compartment of a refrigerator, and the ice tray 1 is provided with a rotary shaft. The drive means 2 is provided on one side thereof. An ice storage box 3 is provided in the lower part of the ice tray 1 for taking out and is provided with, and a detection lever 4 for detecting the presence or absence of ice in the ice storage box 3 is provided on one side of the drive means 2. . Immediately below the detection lever 4, there is provided a stopper 5 that faces the ice storage box 3 and projects to a position where the detection lever 4 is locked when the ice storage box 3 is taken out.
【０００９】 上記冷凍室の側壁には取付け板６が取付けられており、同取付け板６には、図 ２の様に、上下に複数の案内部材７が突設され、同案内部材７には略コ字状に形 成された上記ストッパー５が前後方向に出没自在に裝設され、同ストツパー５と 取付け板６の間には復帰用スプリング８が裝設されている。また、ストッパー５ の下側の検出片５１の先端は上記貯氷箱３に対向する位置に設けられ、同貯氷箱 ３の取付け状態で、その側部に押圧されて引込む様に形成され、これと一体形成 された上部の係止片５２は、その突出状態で上記検出レバー４の回転範囲内に位 置する様に形成されている。A mounting plate 6 is mounted on the side wall of the freezer compartment. The mounting plate 6 is provided with a plurality of vertically extending guide members 7 as shown in FIG. The stopper 5 formed in a substantially U shape is mounted so as to be retractable in the front-rear direction, and a return spring 8 is mounted between the stopper 5 and the mounting plate 6. Further, the tip of the detection piece 51 on the lower side of the stopper 5 is provided at a position facing the ice storage box 3, and is formed so as to be pressed into the side portion of the ice storage box 3 in a mounted state and retracted. The integrally formed upper locking piece 52 is formed so as to be positioned within the rotation range of the detection lever 4 in its protruding state.
【００１０】 上記の構成により、製氷運転時に自動給水装置により製氷皿１内に所定量の水 が給水され、所定の時間の経過により同製氷皿１内に氷が作られる。このあと、 上記検出レバー４が回転して、その直下の貯氷箱３内の氷の有無が検出され、そ の量が所定のレベル以下であると検出されると、駆動装置２が作動して製氷皿１ が裏返しされ、同製氷皿１内の氷が貯氷箱３内に脱氷される。With the above configuration, a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the ice tray 1 by the automatic water supply device during the ice making operation, and ice is made in the ice tray 1 after a predetermined time elapses. After that, the detection lever 4 is rotated to detect the presence or absence of ice in the ice storage box 3 directly below the detection lever 4, and when the amount is detected to be below a predetermined level, the drive device 2 is activated. The ice tray 1 is turned upside down, and the ice in the ice tray 1 is removed into the ice storage box 3.
【００１１】 ここで、氷を必要として上記貯氷箱３が冷凍室外に取出されると、上記ストッ パー５が突出する。このストッパー５の突出位置において、係止片５２側が上記 検出レバー４の回転範囲に入り、同検出レバー４の動きが止められる。この検出 レバー４のストップによって、上記駆動装置２による製氷皿１内の氷の脱氷が止 められ、冷凍室内に氷が落とされるのが防止される。When ice is needed and the ice storage box 3 is taken out of the freezer compartment, the stopper 5 projects. At the protruding position of the stopper 5, the locking piece 52 side enters the rotation range of the detection lever 4 and the movement of the detection lever 4 is stopped. The stop of the detection lever 4 stops the de-icing of the ice in the ice tray 1 by the driving device 2 and prevents the ice from falling into the freezing compartment.
【００１２】[0012]
本考案の自動製氷装置によると、貯氷箱に対向する位置に出没自在なストッパ ーを設け、貯氷箱が取出されると、このストッパーが突出して検出レバーの動き が係止される様に構成されているので、この検出レバーのストップによって、駆 動装置による製氷皿内の氷の脱氷が止められる。これによって、従来型の自動製 氷装置の様に、貯氷箱を取出した際に脱氷される事は無くなり、冷凍室内に氷が 落されることなく、装置の信頼性を向上することができる。 According to the automatic ice making device of the present invention, a stopper that can be retracted and provided is provided at a position facing the ice storage box, and when the ice storage box is taken out, the stopper is projected and the movement of the detection lever is locked. Therefore, the stop of the detection lever stops the deicing of the ice in the ice tray by the driving device. As a result, unlike the conventional automatic ice making device, the ice is not removed when the ice box is taken out, and the ice is not dropped in the freezer compartment, and the reliability of the device can be improved. .
