At this time, when the idle screw is rotated by the ice of the ice bucket while the carry-out screw 40 idle, the carry-out screw 40 is rotated in the reverse direction and then rotates again to prevent damage due to the idle load will be.

This is because the drive spur gear 61 is not driven to rotate by the drive shaft 65 of the first drive motor M1 when the unloading screw 40 has an idle disturbance caused by ice. ), The sensor bracket 25 of the first driving motor touches the limit switch 27 by the rotational repulsion force which rotates in a reverse direction, and the first driving motor () by the touch operation of the limit switch 27. The rotating screw M1) rotates forward and then rotates forward again, and the unloading screw 40 revolves in the reverse direction of the instant and revolves in the forward direction to minimize the idle load of the unloading screw 40.

In addition, the unloading screw 40 may cause sag at the outer end of the unloading screw due to ice load, and may cause load damage, which is supported by a roller 45 or a rail-shaped support 45 at the lower end of the unloading screw. By installing and guiding, it is possible to prevent sag of the unloading screw or damage of the load.

In addition, since the horizontal push rod 55 is installed horizontally in the radial direction of the inner circumference at the center of the ice bucket 10 at the upper portion of the cone member 50, the horizontal push rod is rotated by the cone member to the ice bucket 10. Since the ice is supplied evenly throughout, the discharge of ice is more smoothly provided.

As such, the ice supplied from the ice container 10 is transported by a separate conveyor and used for various purposes.

On the other hand, the present invention can be implemented differently as shown in Figure 8 and 9, which is compared to the above-described preferred embodiment in the drive motor (M3) in the upper position of the carrying screw 40 of the ice container 10 At least one support screw 80 to be driven by rotation in the horizontal direction is configured.

At this time, the support screw 80 is preferably configured to face opposite to the cone member (50).

The present invention is installed in the horizontal direction the support screw 80 for rotationally driven by the drive motor M3 in the upper position of the carrying screw 40 of the ice container 10 in the interior of the ice container 10 The ice load is not concentrated on the unloading screw 40 but distributedly supported by the support screw 80 at the upper position of the unloading screw. Thus, the load screw is smoothly provided to reduce the load of the unloading screw. It will prevent damage.

In addition, the support screw 80 serves to smoothly discharge the ice because the support screw 80 rotates by the drive motor M3 and continues to stir to prevent the ice at the upper position of the unloading screw from sticking to each other. .

In addition, the present invention may be configured to install at least one support bar 85 in the horizontal direction in the direction crossing the support screw in the upper position of the support screw 80, as shown in FIG.

Since the support bar 85 is installed in the horizontal direction in a direction crossing the support screw in the upper position of the support screw 80, the ice load of the support screw is distributed again by the support bar 85 in the upper position of the support screw. The load reduction of the carrying screw and the supporting screw further improves the operation efficiency and durability.
