- the upper port 160 of the hopper 158 is connected to the input port 150.
- two rotors 16 1 and 16 2 are rotated at regular intervals by shafts 16 3 and 16 4 in the icebreaker case 15 9.
- Two or three arms 1665 and 1666 are provided in the axial direction of each side of the mouth, at a certain interval according to the size of the crushed ice.
- the first hitting pins 167 and 168 are planted on the arms 165 and 166, respectively.
- FIG. 6 is a top view of an ice making device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
- FIG. 7 is an A-A cross-sectional view of the ice making device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 25 is an exploded perspective view of the ice making device according to Embodiment 12 of the present invention.
- Fig. 26 is an overall configuration diagram of a conventional ice making device for a refrigerator.
- the ice making unit 300 and the ice crusher 400 are rotatably arranged by a driving mechanism 23 for rotatingly driving the ice making unit 300 and the ice crusher 400 and a rotary drive shaft 24.
- a driving mechanism 23 for rotatingly driving the ice making unit 300 and the ice crusher 400 and a rotary drive shaft 24.
- the ice making container 13 is located below the outlet of the water supply path 12.
- the ice making container 13 is placed above the ice storage box 5A with the periphery of the ice making container 13 partially embedded in the heat insulating wall 4 between the ice making room 5 and the second refrigerator compartment 7. Have been.
- the ice making unit 300 and the ice crusher 400 are inverted by the driving force 23, and the ice is removed from the ice making container 13 at the time of division, so the ice storage box 5 is kept as it is. Fall into A.
- a compact and inexpensive compact ice crusher can be realized.
- one of the four ribs 18A on the shaft 18 is arranged so that it is on the same line as one of the ribs 18A on the adjacent shaft 18. Thus, generation of finely broken ice can be suppressed.
- the cylindrical portion 16A is not necessarily used as in the present embodiment, if the sealing structure of the shaft 18 penetrating portion on the bottom surface of the ice making container 13 is taken into consideration, the ice making container 13 It is also possible to penetrate the shaft 18 directly from the bottom. In this case, the height of the insertion portion of the shaft 18 into the ice making container 13 does not necessarily need to be higher than the water surface height, and a predetermined depth that is most appropriate or effective for breaking ice is divided. It is sufficient to adopt a configuration that inserts up to
- the ice making device 100 of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 8 to 10.
- the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.
- the shaft 48 After the shaft 48 is driven to rotate, the ice making unit 300 and the icebreaker 4 0 is returned to the horizontal position by the drive mechanism 53 (STEP 13), and the shaft 48 is also returned to the original position (origin) by the gear unit 50 (STEP 14). At this time, the shaft 48 can be returned to the home position by rotating in a direction opposite to the direction in which the ice is divided when the ice is divided, but in the present embodiment, the shaft 48 is After passing the home position once, when the ice is split again, it is operated in the direction to rotate and stop at the home position.
- the shaft is returned to the home position with the ice making unit inverted, even if the divided ice does not fall down due to the ice maker, the rotation of the shaft drives the ice to rotate the ice. Moved In this way, catching is eliminated and the ice can be dropped more reliably, so it is not irregular and rounded, and is sensually excellent even when put in whiskey water splitting etc. Ice can be reliably provided.
- a fixed amount of water is supplied from above to the ice making unit 800 of the ice making unit 800 placed in the freezing atmosphere.
- the supplied water is frozen from below by the cooling plate 807 of the ice making unit 801 and the cooling promoting unit 808.
- a heating means (not shown) is provided above the ice making unit 800, and the periphery of the ice making section 800 is formed by the heating means and the heat insulating materials 800, 803. It is kept in an atmosphere that does not freeze above 0 ° C.
- this ice making unit 67 is used in the ice making room of a refrigerator or When placed indoors, the freezing rate may be too fast during the early stages of ice making due to the effect of ambient temperature.
- the operation of reversing the polarity of the voltage applied to the Peltier element 14 and warming the cooling surface until a certain time from the start of ice making is performed. After a certain period of time, the voltage is reversed again to cool the cooling surface until the ice making is completed. When the applied voltage is inverted, it is better to provide a non-energized state for a certain period of time so that the life reliability of the Peltier element 14 can be ensured.
- the shape of the ice making container 503 is designed so that the ice making container side wall 503 A is formed so that the ice area gradually increases in the vertical direction from the cooling surface. By inclining, the water movement distance is secured. Also, the side wall can reduce the effect of heat conduction from the cooling surface. Therefore, it is possible to prevent water from remaining in the center of the swing shaft, that is, by growing ice from the center of the ice making container.
- Table 1C shows the results of experiments in which rocking was performed only under certain conditions without intermittent water supply, and the transparency was confirmed by changing the ice thickness.
- the water supply pump can be used for general ice making equipment by using appropriate conditions such as rocking. It was found that relatively transparent ice could be made using an impeller pump.
- the cooling plate 16 is provided with a temperature detecting means, for example, a temperature sensor 35.
- a plurality of shafts 66 are connected to the drive unit 39, and extend in the direction of the ice making unit 300 through the cooling plate 16. At this time, the through hole of the cooling plate 16 A water leakage prevention material 33 that seals the enclosure is provided. Further, a hole corresponding to a place where the shaft 66 penetrates is formed in the planar heater 141A.
- the planar heater is disposed between the cooling plate and the drive unit.
- at least a cooling plate or drive unit by adding a relatively simple structure such as forming a groove in which a heater wire is arranged, the same effect can be obtained even when a normal heater wire is used instead of a planar heater.
