c. Problems to be solved by the invention In the conventional auger type ice making machine having the ice storage detecting device in which the ice storage detecting plate is arranged at the position facing the ice discharging port of the ice making section, the force of the ice pushed out from the ice discharging port is increased. When the ice storage detection plate is tilted by this and the tip 5d moves away from the proximity switch 6, part of the ice that is pushed out enters between the top and the top of the ice storage detection plate and the top plate to detect the ice storage. It may impede the reverting action of the plate. In particular, when the ambient temperature in the winter is low, the invading ice cannot be melted, and the ice storage detection plate becomes unrecoverable, which causes a serious problem. Further, in particular, in order to prevent chattering by the ice storage detection device, in a control that provides a certain delay time after the ice storage detection until the ice making operation is stopped, the tilted state of the ice storage detection plate, that is, the ice storage detection Since a state in which a large gap is formed between the tip of the plate and the top plate of the ice guide tube is maintained for a certain period of time, there has been a problem that such troubles often occur.
