Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a domestic refrigerator, and an ice maker for use in such a device. Ice makers for refrigerators are known in numerous configurations, which are strong in their technical complexity and the comfort they offer a user
  • an icemaker is a simple tray with a multitude of compartments in it, and to make ice, the compartments are filled with water and then the tray placed in a freezer.
  • a solution is very inexpensive, but associated with the user with many inconveniences. If the tray is filled outside the freezer and then carried to the freezer, the risk of water spilling over is high due to the flat shape of the tray. A horizontal surface on which the tray can be placed in the freezer is often not available or has to be prepared by transferring refrigerated goods. If the tray is not placed exactly horizontally or slips off, there is a high risk that the water will spread in the freezer. Although it is in principle possible to place the tray only in the refrigerator and then to fill, but the risk that water is spilled, high, and since the refrigerator must be open for a long time to fill, gets unwanted heat and humidity in large quantities in the device.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an ice maker which is suitable for rapid filling within the freezer.
  • the object is achieved by arranging, in the case of an ice maker having at least one tray divided into several compartments, a basin above the tray, which has a drain which drains into several of the compartments at the same time. While the user when freehand filling a tray with a pot neither the direction of the water jet nor its strength can constantly control exactly and therefore there is a constant risk that the beam adjacent to the tray or becomes so strong that a compartment into which the beam If excess water can not be released quickly enough to neighboring compartments, so that the tray overflows, the position of the drain is fixed, and the Speed at which water flows into a single compartment can be suitably limited across the cross section of the drain.
  • the drain may include a plurality of openings disposed over the plurality of compartments or may include at least one opening extending over at least two of the compartments.
  • An opening extending over several compartments may in particular be slot-shaped; this reduces the risk that the opening will be blocked by frozen residual water.
  • the at least one tray is suitably surrounded by a housing.
  • the basin can then be arranged to save space on an upper side of the housing.
  • the capacity of the basin is approximately equal to that of the compartments, a user can pour the amount of water required to fill the compartments at one go into the pool. He does not need to wait for the distribution of the water on the compartments before he can close the refrigerator again.
  • the basin In order to give the basin a correspondingly large capacity, it is expedient that it occupies a predominant part of the top of the housing.
  • the base area of the basin substantially corresponds to that of the at least one tray.
  • the tray is preferably suspended pivotally and twistably in the housing.
  • the space required to swing the tray sets a lower limit on the height of the icemaker, which can not be undershot.
  • the number of trays is at least two and the trays are pivotable about mutually parallel axes.
  • a particularly compact construction can be realized if the adjacent sides of the trays are their longitudinal sides.
  • At least one port of the drain should drain into each tray.
  • the openings are formed at the bottom of a extending over the at least two trays gutter.
  • the water can be almost uninfluenced by random effects of the pool until almost completely empty
  • the housing comprises a frame laterally surrounding the at least one tray and a lid forming the basin, the tray is preferably suspended from the lid.
  • the position of the tray relative to the drain is accurate and
  • a lower portion of the housing may be formed by a removable from the frame or slidably guided on the frame collection container, on the one hand to provide easy access to the ice, on the other hand, if necessary by removing the collection container to reduce the space requirement of the ice maker can.
  • a dispensing container removable from the ice maker facilitates the filling of the compartments. In particular, if the capacity of all subjects n times the

  • n 1.
  • the ice maker is preferably guided in a refrigeration device between a filling position and a freezing position. In a suitable position for freezing inside the refrigerator filling is usually cumbersome; by making the icemaker movable, filling can be done in a more accessible position. By guiding the movement of the icemaker, the risk of spilling water on the way from the filling position back to the freezing position can be minimized.

  • pivoting tray 5 is held.
  • the molded of an elastic plastic tray 5 is divided in a conventional manner into a plurality of compartments 6, which are provided to receive freezing water. Partitions between the compartments 6 are also known and exemplified in Fig. 5 way provided with notches at their upper edges, to allow an overflow from one compartment 6 to an adjacent, as soon as in one compartment 6, the water level rises above the lowest point of such a notch.
  • a target filling amount of the tray 5 is set so that all compartments 6 communicate with each other via notches.
  • the basin 7 has a flat bottom which slopes down to a channel 46 extending at an edge of the basin 7.
  • a drain 8 of the basin 7 starts from the channel 46 and ends above the compartments 6 of the tray 5, so that water poured into the basin 7 safely enters the compartments 6.
  • the drain 8 may have several openings over
  • each such opening is smaller than that of the compartments 6 interconnecting notches, so that via one of these openings water can not flow into a compartment 6 faster than it can escape to neighboring compartments via the notches. This ensures that the tray 5 can not overflow as long as the filled
  • the drain can also be designed as a slot extending over several compartments 6. This has the advantage that the likelihood of clogging by water frozen in the drain 8 is reduced.
  • Recess 12 is formed, which is provided to receive a measuring cup 13.
  • the shape of the recess 12 is largely complementary to that of the measuring cup 13 to to receive it substantially form-fitting when not in use, except for a finger recess 14 which is recessed from the front edge 1 1 to facilitate a user gripping a side wall 15 of the measuring cup 13 when it is placed in the recess 12.
  • the capacity of the measuring cup 13 corresponds to that of the tray 5. Therefore, it is sufficient to fill the tray 5 with water, the measuring cup 13 once to fill exactly and to empty it into the basin 7.
  • the volume of the measuring cup 13 is set as one-ninth of the volume of the tray 5, where n is a small natural number. It would then be filled n times to fill the tray 5 of the measuring cup 13 and emptied into the basin 7.
  • the frame 1 comprises two longitudinal walls 16, a rear wall 17 and an end wall 18 which, when the ice maker is mounted in a refrigeration appliance, faces the door thereof.
  • At an upper edge of the longitudinal walls 16 outwardly projecting horizontal webs 19 form a support surface for the cover 2.

  • the collecting container 24 is provided on its underside with a handle recess 32. It is easier to move in the C-profiles 21 of the frame 1 than the entire ice maker 28 on the L-profiles 30, so that when pulling on the collecting container 24, the frame 1 remains at rest.
  • the ice maker 28 can be withdrawn as a whole from the L-profiles 30, so that it stows when not in use outside the freezer and thus freed up space can be used elsewhere. Due to the same dimensions of the webs 19 and 22, it is also possible to suspend the collecting container 24 to the L-profiles 30 directly and by itself. Thus, by removing only the frame 1 and the lid 2, much of the space occupied by the icemaker 28 in the compartment 25 can be freed, but finished ice cubes will still have a firm place in the receptacle 24 therein.
  • the ice maker 28 can also be placed freely in one of the compartments 25 or in one of the pull-out boxes 27. It is conceivable, in particular, to divide a compartment for a drawer into a compartment which receives the ice maker in a form-fitting manner and gives it stability when force is exerted on the slide 10 for removal from the mold.
  • 4 shows a schematic section through the ice maker 28 along a plane that runs transversely to the pivot axis of the tray 5 through the depression 9. It can be seen here that the slide 10 is part of a one-armed lever 33, which is pivotable about an axis 35 which is displaced parallel to the pivot axis 34 of the tray 35 and extends through a slot 36 at the bottom of the recess 9.
  • Both axes 34, 35 are fixed to the between the tray 5 and the lever 33 extending wall 4.
  • a wing 37 of the tray 5 extends in the axial direction, transverse to the cutting plane, from one of the wall 4 facing end side of the tray 5 on the wall 4 of time and is by a spring, not shown, acting on the tray 5 against a shoulder 38 of the lever 33 held pressed.
  • the tray 5 In a second position of the lever 33 shown in Fig. 4, the tray 5 is pivoted about the freezing position by about 150 ° counterclockwise, and facing away from the lever 33 front side of the tray 5 abuts against a stop 39, of the rear wall 3 of the lid 2 forth projects forward. If the lever 33 is pulled beyond the position shown in the counterclockwise direction, the lever 33 facing the end face of the tray 5, and the shoulder 38 slides on the wing 37 to the outside. Since the side facing away from the lever 33 front side of the tray 5 can no longer follow the rotation, this is subject to an increasing distortion, through which the finished pieces of ice are forced out of the compartments 6. The further the lever 33 is pulled, the greater the distance of his shoulder 38 from the

If the space normally occupied by the measuring cup 13 below the tray 5 is required for other refrigerated goods, it can be removed from the opening 45 and outside the refrigerating appliance be housed. In the same way, the icemaker as a whole can be removed in order to free the space occupied by it if necessary for another use.
