Description

Ice Machine for Refrigerator {ICE-SHAVING DEVICE FOR REFRIGERATOR}

The present invention relates to an ice machine for a refrigerator equipped with an ice maker, and more particularly, to an ice machine that receives ice cubes discharged from the ice maker and immediately ices them to provide a slice for ice water.

In general, the ice machine is rotated while pressing the ice block with a pressing plate to produce a slice by a blade fixed to the floor, and the inconvenience of having to freeze the ice chunk separately from the refrigerator, then take it out and put it back into the ice machine to make the slice.

In recent years, as illustrated schematically in FIG. 1, a large refrigerator 2 having an automatic ice maker 1 that automatically freezes and discharges ice by using cold air of a refrigerator has been widely used.

In response to this environment, an ice machine that can be mounted in a refrigerator is required so that a user can obtain ice slices more easily by using ice cubes frozen in the automatic ice maker 1 of the refrigerator.

The present invention can be detachably mounted to the automatic ice maker provided in the refrigerator as described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ice maker for a refrigerator that receives ice cubes discharged from the ice maker and ices them to provide slices.

Refrigerator ice machine according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a housing having protrusions to be engaged with the receiving projection formed on the automatic ice maker of the refrigerator, and fixed to the end of the cylindrical shaft fixed to the housing and ice cubes of the ice maker And a blade disposed within the container to rotate to form a slice from the ice cubes supplied from the ice maker.

In addition, the container is supported by a fixed shaft and provided with an inclined plate therein to limit the movement of the ice cubes, and the bottom provided by the rotary shaft by a motor provided in the lower end of the cylindrical member in the housing It is preferably composed of a plate, and the blade is preferably provided on the bottom plate.

The cylindrical member is composed of a container fixed together with a bottom plate, and fixed a plurality of blades at the end of the rotating shaft rotated by a motor to form a slice from the ice cubes discharged from the ice maker by the rotation of the blade is accommodated in the container It can also be configured to.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail the present invention.

2 shows a state in which a refrigerator ice maker 10 according to the present invention is mounted on the ice maker 11 of the refrigerator. For this purpose, the ice maker has an outer surface on the surface opposite to the ice maker as shown in FIG. 2. The protrusions 12 are formed to be spaced apart from each other, and the protrusions are engaged with the receiving protrusions 13 formed on the outer surface of the ice maker, and when removed, the protrusions 12 and 13 are moved to the side to separate the protrusions 12 and 13. By releasing it.

2 and 3, the ice machine 10 according to the present invention is not shown in the figure, but the cylindrical member 15 is fixed to the end of the cylindrical shaft portion 16 fixed to the housing 14. Inside the cylindrical member 15, there is provided an inclined plate 17 which is inclined downward in the rotational direction from the radial support member 18 fixed to the shaft portion.

In addition, the bottom of the cylindrical member 15 is provided with a bottom plate 21 which is rotated by the rotating shaft 20 by a motor embedded in the housing to form a container for receiving ice cubes discharged from the ice maker together with the cylindrical member. Done.

At least one blade 22 is fixed to the bottom plate 21 by means of fixing means, and a slit is formed in front of the blade so that the slice cut out from the ice cube by the blade is discharged under the bottom plate.

In addition, it is necessary to limit the movement of such pieces of ice because the ice is not shaved by the blade when the pieces of ice move together when the bottom plate rotates, which is the movement of the pieces of ice moved by the above-mentioned inclined plate 17. Since this is prevented, slice formation by a blade is made smooth.

In addition, the blade is preferably disposed to be inclined in the center direction from the bottom plate, it is also possible to minimize the scattering of the slice is generated as small as possible diameter of the bottom plate.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the cylindrical member is formed as a container together with the bottom plate, and a plurality of blades are formed at the end of the rotating shaft rotated by the motor, and the ice pieces discharged from the ice maker and accommodated in the container rotate by the rotating shaft. It can also be configured to break finely by a blade. In this case, a cover is provided on top of the cylindrical member.

According to the present invention, the ice machine is easily removed on the front side of the ice maker of the refrigerator, and the ice discharged by the automatic ice maker of the refrigerator can be iced to easily obtain a slice for the iced water, thereby improving user convenience of the product. There is an advantage.
