  • the present invention relates to an ice making device and a refrigerator-freezer provided with the ice making device.
  • Patent Document 1 An example of a refrigerator-freezer equipped with an ice making device is described in JP-A-2006-78098 (Patent Document 1). Inside the refrigerator-freezer, an ice tray that is a part of the ice making device is held horizontally.
  • the ice tray includes a plurality of ice making cells arranged in a matrix. A certain amount of water is supplied to the ice tray, and the water stored in the ice tray becomes ice. After the water in the ice tray is frozen, the ice tray is rotated and twisted. When the ice tray is twisted, the ice in each ice making cell is dropped from the ice making cell and dropped to be stored in an ice bank prepared in advance below.
  • transparent ice When making ice in a refrigerator, if the temperature of the water drops rapidly, ice with bubbles trapped inside will be completed. Therefore, it becomes white and cloudy ice.
  • transparent ice To make ice with high transparency (hereinafter referred to as “transparent ice”), there is a method of cooling slowly while monitoring the temperature so that the temperature of water does not drop too rapidly. This is because if the air is slowly cooled, the air in the water can easily escape from the water surface to the outside, and the probability that air bubbles are trapped inside can be reduced.
  • a thermistor In order to make transparent ice in such an ice tray, it is necessary to monitor the temperature. In order to grasp the actual temperature, a thermistor is generally used. In the refrigerator-freezer shown in FIG. 18 of Patent Document 1, a thermistor is attached to the back surface of the ice tray. The thermistor is disposed at a position where the thermistor is pushed to the deepest, that is, the uppermost position in the gap between the ice making cells.
  • the amount of water that can be made is constant.
  • a mechanism for monitoring the temperature is also incorporated around the ice tray, and it is not easy to replace the ice tray.
  • the user often has a structure in which the ice tray cannot be replaced.
  • the temperature monitoring mechanism for cooling slowly is based on the premise that a certain amount of water is in the ice tray, so normal operation cannot be guaranteed by simply reducing the amount of water in the same ice tray. .
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an ice making device or a refrigerator that can automatically make different sizes of ice.
  • an ice making device includes an ice tray.
  • the ice tray includes a first ice making cell and a second ice making cell arranged so as to be adjacent in the horizontal direction.

  • a temperature measuring tool is disposed so as to be at least close to the side wall of the first ice making cell below the position of the water surface in the minimum water amount mode.
  • the temperature of the water in the first ice making cell can be appropriately measured even at the minimum amount of water, and transparent ices of different sizes can be automatically made.
