Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic ice dispenser for installation in a refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigeration appliance, and a refrigerator equipped with such an ice maker.
  • a refrigeration appliance in particular a household refrigeration appliance
  • a refrigerator equipped with such an ice maker comprises two functional groups, namely the actual ice maker, which comprises at least one cooled mold and optionally means for metering water into the mold and ejecting the finished pieces of ice, and an ice storage container in which stores the finished pieces of ice until use be, if necessary, with means for ejecting the pieces of ice out of the container.
  • the US 2007/227176 A1 discloses an ice dispenser having an ice maker and an ice bin that can be pulled out of the ice dispenser.
  • the DE 10 2006 017 803 A1 discloses a refrigerator with an icemaker, which is suspended from a through the heat-insulated interior of the refrigerator extending strut.
  • the DE 20 2004 016 966 U1 discloses an ice cube container with a container body.
  • the WO 2008/020707 A1 discloses an icemaker comprising an ice maker and a container disposed below the icemaker for storing the pieces of ice made by the icemaker.
  • the ice maker and the container are disposed within a housing.
  • the EP 1 939 551 A2 discloses an icemaker comprising an icemaker and a drawer for storing the pieces of ice made by the icemaker.
  • the ice maker is surrounded by a lid.
  • the WO 2008/082129 A1 and the WO 2008/018770 A1 disclose further ice makers comprising an ice maker and a container for storing the pieces of ice made by the ice maker.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an ice dispenser, which is easier to install and remove and in which there is no risk of the operation of the ice maker in the absence of the ice storage container.
  • the object is achieved on the one hand by the Eisvorrats employergeophuse and the ice maker are connected to form a structural unit in an ice dispenser with an ice storage container and an ice maker, which comprises at least one fillable with water mold.
  • both can be installed and removed together, and the associated with the installation and removal of the ice maker expense is eliminated. Since the ice maker is always taken out together with the ice storage box, there is no need for means for inhibiting the operation of the ice maker in the absence of the ice storage bin.
  • a cold air duct may be provided on the ice maker.
  • this has an opening into the Eisvorrats constituergephaseuse outlet, so that the guided through the channel air after the mold can also cool the ice stock.
  • the interlocking contours can be formed, in particular, in that a wall of the ice maker bounding the cold air duct engages in a complementary recess of the ice storage container housing.
  • the cold air duct extends below the mold.
  • the mold is cooled efficiently, on the other hand, the cold air can pass without passing through the mold without a significant deflection in the ice storage, which is preferably arranged slightly lower than the mold so that ice can get out of the mold by gravity into the ice storage.
  • the Eisvorrats interchangeergeophuse and the ice maker are attached to a common support member.
  • the common carrier part can in particular form a rear wall of the ice dispenser.
  • An upstream portion of the cold air duct, via which cold air can be supplied to the ice maker, can be expediently formed on the carrier part.
  • the support part is a rear wall of the ice dispenser, then it is expedient if the upstream section is delimited on the one hand by the rear wall of the ice dispenser and on the other hand by a rear wall of the refrigeration device housing.
  • a wall of the upstream portion may conveniently be formed by two adjacent ribs and a sealing strip inserted in a space between the ribs.
  • This sealing strip can connect tightly to the rear wall of the refrigerator or another suitable wall surface.
  • the Eisvorrats employergecher is preferably arranged in a first cavity for receiving the ice and a second cavity in which a drive motor of a mounted in the first cavity, is arranged for ejecting the ice from the storage container conveying tool.
  • This second cavity may be closed by the support member, such as to protect the motor or other internals of the second cavity from moisture.
  • the ice maker For ejecting ice from the mold, the ice maker preferably has a slide which can be moved through the mold. This eliminates the need to move the mold itself to eject the ice, and space that would otherwise need to be kept clear for the movement of the mold can be used elsewhere.
  • a sloping to the ice storage tank inclined surface may be provided, may fall on the pushed out of the mold by the slide pieces of ice to slide off from there into the ice storage container.
  • a filling level sensor may be provided so as to be capable of crossing an inlet opening of the ice storage container. If the movement of the level sensor is obstructed by ice, the capacity of the ice storage container is exhausted. In this case, the ice maker should be switched off.
  • the invention further relates to a refrigerator with an ice dispenser of the type described above, to the housing of the ice maker is indirectly connected via the Eisvorrats constituergetude or a common with the Eisvorrats variousergephaseuse support member. Since the ice maker without the Eisvorrats constituergephaseuse is not mounted in the refrigerator, there is no possibility that he operated accidentally without the ice produced being able to be absorbed by the ice bin.

  • a niche 2 is formed in a conventional manner, in which a vessel to be filled can be placed.
  • the refrigeration device is man-high or higher, but the niche 2 should not be placed above the chest height of a user for comfortable handling.

Through the opening 43 is in Fig. 5 the gap between the bottom of the shell 27 and the underside of the tray 7 can be seen. At the evaporator in the cold air duct 44 injected air is forced to pass through the opening 43 and the gap.

If it is detected by means of the switch that the wire hanger 47, the in Fig. 7 shown rest position is not reached again, then it can be assumed that the drawer 10 is full of ice pieces and that they block the wire bracket 47. The operation of the ice maker 5 is then interrupted until the wire bow 47 has reached the rest position again.
