Description

Ice Tray

The present invention relates to a tray for producing ice, and more particularly, to stack a plurality of trays in a narrow inner space of the container in multiple layers so that a large amount of pieces of ice can be produced at a time, and the hygiene and convenience in supplying ice cubes. In addition, the remaining pieces of ice after the supply of ice cubes relates to a tray for making ice, which can be shaken gently while standing upright, so that the ice cube can be easily set back into the ice groove.

In general, the ice tray refers to the production of individual ice as cold air after filling the ice grooves divided into water into the freezer compartment.

1A is a side view of an ice tray according to an embodiment of the prior art document (Korean Patent Publication No. 2014-0049118), FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 2, and FIG. 1C is a BB of FIG. 2. 'Is a cross section along the line.

Ice tray 100 according to the prior art document is the case 110, the door 130, the first partition 150, the second partition 170 and the rotating member as shown in Figure 1a to 1c It consists of 190.

The case 110 is formed of a hollow hollow cylindrical shape, and an opening 112 is formed at a side of the case 110, that is, a circumferential surface thereof, for supplying a drink and withdrawing ice.

The opening 112 may be formed long along the longitudinal direction of the case 110, and the width of the opening 112 may be equal to or greater than the gap between the ends of the first partition walls 150.

The door 130 opens and closes the opening 112 of the case 110. The door 130 may be detachably coupled to the opening 112 by a press-fit method.

The first partition walls 150 are provided inside the case 110 and extend radially outwardly from the central axis along the longitudinal direction of the case 110 to form a radial shape. First holes 152 are formed through the first partition walls 150 so that the drink water is circulated.

The second partition walls 170 are provided inside the case 110 and are spaced apart from each other in parallel with each other along the length direction of the case 110. The second partition walls 170 partition the inner space of the case 110 together with the first partition walls 150 into a plurality of ice generating spaces. In addition, second holes 172 are formed through the second partition walls 170 so that the beverage is circulated.

Rotating member 190 may be provided in a rod shape axially aligned with the central axis of the case 110, one end of the rotating member 190 is coupled to the upper end of the first partition wall 150, the rotating member 190 The other end of the case penetrates through the upper wall of the case 110 to the outside.

When the rotating member 190 is rotated, the first partition walls 150 are rotated about the central axis of the case 110 by the rotating member 190, whereby ice frozen on the inner surface of the case 110 is obtained. It can be easily separated from the inner surface of the case 110.

Meanwhile, in the prior art document, the case in which the door 130 is provided as one part has been described as an example, but the door 130 may be divided into a plurality of pieces along the length direction of the case 110, and in this case, the door 130. Each length of may correspond to a gap between neighboring second partition walls 170.

By the way, the ice tray 100 according to the prior art document can produce ice in a multi-layer radially inside the case 110, the opening 112 of each ice by the rotation of the rotating member 190 when the ice is taken out And then pull out, even if the ice is pulled out by rotating the rotating member 190, even when each ice is aligned with the opening 112, there is an inconvenience that a large number of ice pouring in a row, on the other hand the opening 112 And even if the door 130 is formed by dividing into a plurality, there is a problem that the productivity of the complex structure is significantly reduced.

An object of the present invention is to stack a plurality of trays in a narrow inner space of the container spaced apart in multiple layers to produce a large amount of ice pieces at a time, and at the same time through the through-hole even when the ice pieces are discharged, one by one through the top entrance It is to provide a tray for making ice that can be escaped to ensure the hygiene and convenience in supplying ice cubes.
