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 differ greatly 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.
  • 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.
  • An ice maker according to the preamble of claim 1 is made WO 02/052207 known.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an ice maker which is suitable for rapid filling within the freezer.
  • the drain may comprise 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 two trays are expediently 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 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 In order to be able to release finished ice from the trays of the tray, the tray is suspended in the housing swivel and twistable.
  • the space required to swing the tray sets a lower limit on the height of the icemaker, which can not be undershot. Nevertheless, to achieve a good ratio between the volume of the ice maker and ice yield, it is imperative that 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.
  • each tray should drain at least one opening of the drain.
  • the openings are formed on the ground as a extending over the at least two trays gutter. In the gutter, the water can be distributed to the openings almost until complete emptying of the basin, uninfluenced by random effects of surface tension.
  • the housing comprises a frame laterally surrounding the at least two trays and a lid forming the basin, the trays are preferably suspended from the lid.
  • the position of the tray with respect to the sequence is determined accurately and reproducibly.
  • 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.
  • the capacity of all compartments is n times the capacity of the dosing, where n is a small natural number, is guaranteed by n-times emptying the dosing into the basin exact filling of the compartments.
  • n 1.
  • the ice maker is preferably guided in a refrigeration device between a filling position and a freezing position.
  • 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.
  • the risk of spilling water on the way from the filling position back to the freezing position can be minimized.
  • the in Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated icemaker has a substantially cuboid, open at the top and bottom, molded plastic frame 1.
  • a lid 2, which closes the open top of the frame 1 has two from above into the frame 1 engaging walls 3, 4, in which Bearing for a between the walls 3, 4 extending, about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the ice maker pivotable 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.
  • a target filling amount of the tray 5 is set so that all compartments 6 communicate with each other via notches.
  • a basin 7 is recessed in the lid 2.
  • 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 a plurality of openings over different compartments 6 to ensure a rapid flow of water. In the channel 46, the water can still flow freely and distribute to the openings of the drain 8, when towards the end of the filling process, the bottom of the basin 7 has fallen dry again.
  • 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 amount of water does not exceed its capacity.
  • 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.
  • a recess 9 is provided at the top of the lid 2, in which a slider 10 is housed.
  • the slider is used for pivoting and twisting of the tray 5, as will be explained in more detail later. In his in Fig. 1 and 2 shown rest position, the slider is not on the top of the lid over.
  • a 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 11 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 n-th 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 lid 2.
  • An upwardly and forwardly open concavity 20 of the end wall 18 is complementary to the downwardly open, hollow front edge 11 of the lid 2 to a undercut recess on which a user can pack the whole ice maker on the one hand and pull out of the refrigerator or can lift the lid 2 from the withdrawn icemaker by attacking from below, over the cavity 20, at the edge 11.
  • each longitudinal wall 16 At a lower edge of each longitudinal wall 16, a cross-sectionally C-shaped profile 21 is formed.
  • the profiles 21 limit facing grooves.
  • These C-profiles 21 and their grooves are dimensioned to slidably receive webs 22, which are integrally formed on upper edges of side walls 23 of a substantially box-shaped collecting container 24.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a refrigerator, such as a household freezer, which is equipped with the above-described ice maker.
  • a storage chamber of the freezer is divided in a conventional manner into a plurality of compartments 25, of which the upper are each closed by a flap 26, while 25 extract boxes 27 can be accommodated in the lower compartments.
  • One of the flaps 26 is shown in the open position, and in the rear compartment 25 of the icemaker 28 is housed.
  • On a ceiling 29 of the compartment 25, two extending in the depth direction L-profiles 30 are fixed, of which in the view of Fig. 3 one is hidden by the icemaker 28.
  • Horizontal legs of the two L-profiles 30 form bearing surfaces on which the webs 19 of the frame 1 slidably rest in the depth direction.
  • a user may prefer the ice maker 28 latched in an engaged stop position to overcome a low resistance, depending on how far the icemaker is pulled out , remove the measuring cup 13, actuate the slide 10 or pour water into the basin 7 can.
  • 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.
  • Fig. 4 shows a schematic section through the ice maker 28 along a plane which extends transversely to the pivot axis of the tray 5 through the recess 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 lever 33 is held by contact with the wing 37 in its rest position at one end of the slot 36.
  • the shoulder 38 and the wing 37 touch each other near the pivot axis 34th
  • Fig. 5 shows a partial view of a refrigerator with an icemaker according to a second, simplified embodiment.
  • On display is a piece of an inner container 41 of a refrigerator body and a horizontal plate 42, which may be a refrigerated goods or an evaporator.
  • the icemaker is shown in a filling position in which a part of the basin 7 is exposed; in a freezing position, the icemaker is completely hidden under the plate 42.
  • the L-profiles could also be mounted on the ceiling of an inner container of the refrigerator.
  • Partitions 43 between the compartments 6 of the tray 5 are provided with notches 44 at their upper edges. Via the notches 44, water can flow from one of the invisible rear compartments, which lie below an opening of the drain 8 concealed under the plate 42, into the front lying.
  • a measuring cup 13 is used to fill the compartments 6, the capacity of which corresponds to that of the tray 5, it is ensured that all compartments 6 of the tray 5 are filled.
  • An opening 45 in a front portion of the lid 2 and the tray 5 forms a receptacle in which the measuring cup 13 can be stowed when not in use.
  • the placement of the measuring cup 13 at the front end of the ice maker on the one hand facilitates access to the measuring cup 13 when it is required for filling, on the other hand prevents the withdrawal of the ice maker is hindered by a collision of refrigerated goods deposited with the measuring cup 13. 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.
  • a drawer-like storage container can still be provided, which, like the tray 5, is provided with lateral webs 19 for displaceable engagement in the L-profiles 30.
  • the reservoir can be suspended instead of the tray 5 on the webs 30 to store finished pieces of ice.
  • Fig. 6 shows a cross section through an ice maker according to the invention.
  • the sectional plane extends through the channel 46 of the basin 7, and at the bottom of the channel two openings can be seen, which form the drain 8.
  • the openings have the same cross sections and are the same height. They are surrounded by short stubs 47, to ensure that water that has passed through is not distributed at the bottom of the gutter, but drips exactly at the location of the openings.
  • the sockets 47 are cut off obliquely at their lower end, so that a possibly stuck water droplet at the lowest point 48 of the nozzle 47, away from the opening, freezes.
  • a measuring cup is used whose capacity corresponds to the common capacity of both trays 5. Since the drain 8 evenly distributes the water filled in the basin 7 to both trays 5, a single filling of the basin 7 is sufficient to provide both trays 5 with the exact amount of water required.
