As described above, since the present invention is a small type ice maker that provides powder ice without a turntable for storing powdered ice and a pumping means for automatically feeding raw water, complicated pumping means according to the supply of raw water is removed, The supply cost of the raw water tank is reduced, and the driving of the cooling cycle unit A and the ice-making drum after the discharge of the raw water tank is stopped to reduce the consumption of electric power, (Unnecessary operation of the ice-making drum, that is, when the ice-making is not required, the operation is stopped to reduce the operation of the unnecessary cooling cycle of the ice-making drum, thereby consuming less power).
That is, the present invention improves the expansion of the space due to the component cost, assembly and layout design of the pump which is caused by pumping raw water of the raw water tank in the existing powder ice ice maker, thereby improving the problem of the size of the whole powder ice ice maker Thereby providing a compact powder ice ice maker having a greatly reduced size.
In addition, since the water supply of the raw material water tank is supplied or cut off due to the difference in the water level of the raw water tank, there is no generation of residual water after the temporary stop of the ice making operation. Thus, the clean environment is maintained and the sanitary property is emphasized. It is possible to provide an ice maker structure that is simple to remove.
In addition, the present invention provides a size that does not include a turntable for accommodating evenly powdered ice, which is contained in a container for storing powdered ice, when manufacturing a conventional external casing, It is possible to provide a water supply system with improved installation space and a problem of assembling property, thereby providing a compact ice maker which is suitable for repeatedly accommodating a small capacity ice maker in a container of a predetermined capacity.
