It is also conceivable that one or more seals are arranged on the ice making unit and one or more seals on the adapter plate.
  • FIG. 19 shows the arrangement according to FIG. 18 from the foam side and FIG. 20 shows the ice making unit in the inserted state.
  • FIG. 21 shows a sectional view through the ice-making unit 10 and through the device with the adaptation plate before the ice-making unit 10 is completely arranged in the end position.
  • the ice making unit 10 is first inserted into the device. In the position shown in Fig. 21, there is still a clearance (e.g., 7 mm) between the ice making unit 10 and the adapter plate 202.
  • seals IB and D2 are located on both sides of the ice-making unit 10, with which it adjoins the adaptation plate 202.
  • one or both seals D1, D2 are formed as circumferential seals.
  • the ice-making unit 10 abuts against the surface 202 'that is inclined relative to the direction of insertion.
  • the plane of the slope 202 ' extends relative to the insertion direction, for example at an angle of 30 °. If the ice-making unit 10 is pushed further ahead with its front side, ie moved to the left according to FIG. 21, this movement is due to the Slant 202 ' of a movement of the ice making unit 10 to the side wall, that is superimposed downwards in accordance with Figure 21.
  • FIG. 22 shows the electronics board 251 of the ice-making unit 10, which has contacts 252 which are in contact with the contacts 253 of the adapter plate 202, which extend through the opening 205.
  • the contacts 253 of the adaptation plate are movably arranged in this lateral direction, as indicated by the double-headed arrow in FIG.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de réfrigération et/ou de congélation, comprenant un espace intérieur réfrigéré et une machine à glace (30), logée dans l'espace intérieur réfrigéré, qui possède un bac (32) destiné à la formation de la glace.
