Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing the main part and enlarged view of the main part, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing the main part of the ice making mechanism according to the present invention.

Ice making mechanism easy to defrost according to the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the ice making container 10 is filled with ice making water; And an ice making body 110 including an evaporating tube 111 through which a refrigerant flows and a plurality of ice making nozzles 113 protruding from the evaporating tube 111 and performing ice making and deicing, .

The ice-making water may be a water tank or the like serving as a water supply unit (not shown) provided at one side of the ice making machine of the present invention. If necessary, the water may be roasted through the filter assembly (when the water tank contains ground water, etc.)

The water supply unit may be configured to use both tap water and a water bottle.

Further, the ice-making water includes all the water used for ice-making, which will be described later, and should not be construed to be limited to water for ice-making only.

The ice-making cylinder 10 may be configured to include a supply unit for supplying de-iced water and a discharge unit for discharging the ice-making water. For the sake of convenience, the detailed configuration and connection relationship are omitted .

The ice making means according to the present invention is similar to the ice making means provided in the known ice water purifier. On the left side of Figure 1 can be seen a circuit diagram of the components of the ice making means of the present invention.

More specifically, the ice making means of the ice making apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, the compressor 33 is operated for the refrigeration cycle, the condenser for heat-exchanging the high-temperature, high-pressure gas generated by the medium-temperature high-pressure refrigerant After passing through (35), after passing through a converter (37) for compressing and converting the medium-temperature high-pressure refrigerant heat-exchanged in the condenser to a low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant, finally the low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant to the ice maker 110, which is a kind of evaporator Supplied.

The ice making body 110 includes an evaporation tube 111 and an ice making nozzle 113, and the ice making nozzle 113 is a protrusion similar to that of a cow's nipple and an internal passage through which a refrigerant is circulated. The ice making nozzle 113 may have a known shape in which a plurality of ice making nozzles 113 are collected.

Since the compressor 33, the condenser 35, and the converter 37 described above are those that are used in the conventional ice making mechanisms, they are sufficiently predictable to those skilled in the art, and therefore, the operating principle and detailed structure of the present specification are provided for convenience of description. Omit for this reason.

The ice making apparatus according to the present invention freezes the icing water which is in contact with the ice making nozzle 113 provided in the ice making body 110 by freezing the refrigerant for icing generated through the icing unit.

The ice making body 110 is formed so as to be constantly immersed in the iced water of the ice making cylinder 10 in a state where the ice making body 110 is spaced apart from the bottom of the ice making cylinder 10, As shown in Fig.

The ice making body 110 composed of the evaporating pipe 111 and the ice making nozzle 113 protrudingly coupled to the evaporating pipe 111 is immersed in the iced water of the ice making cylinder 10 to perform ice making using the cool heat of the coolant do.

Accordingly, since the ice making body 110 is always kept immersed in the iced water, the present invention is equipped with the discharging means (not shown) connected to the cold water only coke (not shown) or the like so that the ice making residual water after the ice making is completed, 10 can be used as cold water naturally. Therefore, no separate cooling means for forming cold water is provided. This has the advantage of reducing noise generation and power consumption.

Next, according to the present invention, hot gas of high temperature and high pressure is supplied to the ice making body 110 by opening the valve (V) after ice making, and the ice contact surface formed by contacting the ice making nozzle (113) .

For this purpose, it is preferable that the ice making body 110 further includes an ice-making line through which hot gas for ice-making of the ice-making nozzle 113 flows.

That is, the ice-making machine according to the present invention opens the solenoid valve of the ice-making line to the ice-making body 110 to move the high-temperature, high-pressure gas generated from the compressor 33 to the ice- The contact surface of the nozzle 113 is melted to perform de-icing.

At this time, a hot gas (i.e., a hot gas) flows through a passage such as a low-temperature refrigerant.

According to the present invention, since the upwardly protruding ice-making nozzle 113 is provided, the temperature of the ice-making nozzle 113 rises when the hot gas flows after the ice-making, and the raised temperature melts the contact surface of the ice- The ice is removed from the nozzle 113, and the ice that has been scooped up to the upper side of the ice-making cylinder 10 due to buoyancy can be discharged through a separate ice discharging means.

However, when the ice-making device repeatedly performs ice-making and de-icing, when the refrigerant flows for the ice-making operation, the internal passage of the ice-making body 110 whose temperature has risen due to the hot gas flowing for previous ice- The temperature of the refrigerant is increased or the temperature of the ice-making body 110 is increased. As a result, the temperature cooling time due to the cooling of the refrigerant takes a long time.

In order to solve the above problems, the ice maker of the present invention can collect ice floating by buoyancy through a separate ice discharging means,

In consideration of simplification of the structure, lowering of the price of the ice making unit, and ease of production, it is necessary to remove the ice from the ice-making nozzle 113 when the ice-making cylinder 10 is scooped, And an icing water stage 200. [

Therefore, the present invention can perform deicing in a shorter time than performing deicing by only hot gas flowing by the deicing line, and it is possible to perform deicing by moving the deicing device 110 to the deicing nozzle 113 It is possible to reduce the residence time of the hot gas and to prevent the temperature of the ice making nozzle 113 from rising due to the flow of the hot gas, thereby shortening the cooling time through the cold heat during repeated ice making, thereby maximizing the ice making efficiency.

The deicing device 200 includes a driving unit 210 hinged to the ice tray 10 and a deicing device 221 connected to the driving unit 210 and through which the ice making nozzle 113 penetrates And a de-icing unit 220.

That is, as shown in Figure 2, the ice making mechanism according to the present invention is formed by the ice making body 110 and the ice making nozzle 113 is immersed in the ice making water, after the de-icing hot gas flows through the ice making body 110 At the same time it begins.

The deicing unit 200 removes the ice from the ice making nozzle 113 and collects the ice cubes so that the deicing unit 200 helps the buoyancy of the ice from which deicing is started to be performed in a short time, (Not shown) of the ice maker.

Therefore, the ice making body 110 is formed to be inclined downward from the outer wall of the ice making container 10 to smoothly swing (rotate) the ice making means 200, and the ice making hole 221 of the ice making unit 220 is also formed. In consideration of the rotational drive, the size of the ice making nozzle 113 may be larger than that of the ice making nozzle 113, and a space 221 of a predetermined space may be formed between the ice making hole 221 and the ice making nozzle 113. See enlarged parts of)

In addition, in the first embodiment according to the present invention, although not shown in Fig. 1, a deicing line through which hot gas flows for de-icing in the ice-making body is connected to any one outside of the ice-making body without being embedded in the ice-making body. Can be formed.

More specifically, the ice making body may include a ice making line that does not pass through an initial ice making nozzle adjacent to a refrigerant inlet of the ice making body, such as the ice making line 150 shown in FIG. 4 to be described later.

The deicing unit may be formed to exclude an initial ice making nozzle not passing through the ice making line, and the initial ice making nozzle may be dedicated to a nozzle for forming cold water only.

The detailed configuration and connection relationship of the nozzle for exclusive use of the cold water are similar to those of the third embodiment described later, and those skilled in the art can sufficiently predict and reproduce the detailed description.

The driving means for driving the de-icing water stage 200 may be variously operated by a hydraulic pressure, a pneumatic pressure, a motor, etc., and is not related to essential features of the present invention.

In addition, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, a sidewall 225 for limiting the inflow of the ice making water to the ice making nozzle 113 may be further provided in the ice making unit 220.

The side walls 225 prevent the cold heat from being transferred to the entire ice making water which is locked by the ice making body 110 and to the ice making water which is not adjacent to the ice making nozzle 113,

It is possible to prevent a problem that the ice cubes that have been scraped off from the de-icing water stage 200 fall off from the de-icing unit 220 and drop into the ice-making tray 10.

The ice making hole 221 of the deicing part 220 is formed to be wider than the outer diameter of the ice making nozzle 113 so that the ice making nozzle 113 is separated from the predetermined space 221 The deicing unit 220 does not require a separate device for introducing the deicing water into the side wall 225. [

Further, the deicing-ice hole 221 may further include an adjusting member (not shown) for adjusting the flow of deicing water.

The adjusting member is made of a flexible material and is formed to close a part of the deicing hole to control the inflow amount of the deicing water and to control the amount of deicing water to be supplied to the ice making nozzle 113, It is possible to prevent breakage due to the contact of the deicing hole 221.

The size of the adjusting member and the configuration related to the sealing portion of the deicing hole may be variously formed according to the size and height of the ice making nozzle, and the like can be sufficiently predicted and reproduced by those skilled in the art.

In addition, the present invention enables the generation of transparent ice as well as the assisting of ice decking and the prevention of dropping of ice through the side wall 225 and the ice-making hole 221 of the de-icing unit 220.

Conventionally, in the water purifier or the like which also serves as a function of providing ice in the prior art, the conventional technologies not only provide a low-temperature drink or food to the user by providing ice,

A number of technologies have been proposed to satisfy user's aesthetic taste by providing transparent ice that does not contain air inside.

However, in general, when only a lower part of the ice-making nozzle is immersed in ice-making water to generate ice or water is filled in an ice bucket, ice is produced in a conventional freezer, the water at 0 ° C has a light- The ice making process is performed from the upper part of the ice-making water in which the ice-making nozzle is locked or the upper part of the ice-

Since the ice is generated from the upper side to the lower side, the air contained in the lower ice-making water is not discharged and opaque ice including bubbles is generated. Therefore, the conventional ice-making technologies have disclosed techniques for producing transparent ice through various methods However, the complicated structure or the generation of transparent ice is not smoothly performed, and the efficiency thereof is extremely low. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is increased and the user is burdened.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention allows the ice making body 110 to perform ice making in the middle of deicing water in a state in which the ice making body 110 is completely immersed in the iced water, The cold heat is lost during the movement

In this case, only the ice-making water, which is instantaneously received at 0 ° C, is directly received by the ice-making nozzle 113 in contact with the ice-making nozzle 113. In this case, the air contained in the ice-making water is discharged upward, It is possible to generate transparent ice even with only the ice-making means.

Further, the present invention can be modified into a cold water-dedicated nozzle 115 for exerting a part of the ice making nozzle 113 whose inflow of de-iced water is limited to the side wall 225 to the outside of the side wall 225, have.

That is, as shown in Figure 4, in the ice making mechanism according to the present invention, the ice-breaking line 150 is arranged to be spaced apart from the refrigerant inlet 111A of the evaporation tube 111 at the beginning of the hot gas flow in the refrigerant during ice removal Without passing through one or a plurality of initial ice making nozzles provided on the side 111A,

The side walls 225 are formed by excluding the one or more initial ice-making nozzles, and the initial ice-making nozzles include nozzles 115 dedicated to forming cold water.

Figure 4 is a front view and an enlarged view of the main portion showing a third embodiment of the ice making mechanism according to the present invention.

As described above, in the ice making machine according to the present invention, since the ice making is performed while the ice making body 110 is always kept in the ice making water, the ice making water can be used as the cold water,

The hot gas may flow into the ice making body 110 at the time of ice-making so that the temperature of the ice making body 110 and the ice making nozzle rises. As a result, the efficiency of forming cold water may be reduced.

In addition, when the side wall 225 is formed on the ice-breaking unit 220 as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the ice-making body 110 is isolated from the ice-making water of the ice-making container 10. It is generated, and a lot of people are followed to deicing ice with only ice-making water flowing from the de-icing hole 221 and to convert the ice-making residue to cold water.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to an apparatus and a method for dispensing an initial refrigerant nozzle adjacent to a refrigerant inlet portion 111A to a nozzle 115 dedicated to forming a cold water (hereinafter, referred to as a nozzle 115 dedicated to forming a cold water The ice making nozzle 115 is always exposed to the iced water, so that the ice making and the cold water forming can be performed at the same time.

Since the nozzle 115 dedicated to the cold water is always exposed to the ice making water, excessive ice making of the ice making water adjacent to the dedicated nozzle 115 may occur. However, according to the present invention, The ice-making operation is repeatedly stopped through the flow,

Furthermore, since a single or a plurality of nozzles 115, particularly a small number of nozzles 115 dedicated to forming cold water, are provided in comparison with a large amount of ice making water, a problem of structurally occurring problems such as excessive icing or excessively low temperature, Can be canceled through generation.

Accordingly, since the ice-making water in the ice-making cylinder 10 can be used as cold water, the ice-making water and the cold water can be formed only by one ice-making means, It is possible to prevent the problem that the amount of use increases.

In the above description of the present invention, the ice making mechanism having a specific shape and structure has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be variously modified, changed, and replaced by those skilled in the art. It should be interpreted as falling within the protection scope of the invention.
