た。c. Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention In the conventional configuration as described above, the ice storage detection body 19 of the ice storage completion detection device 15 has an elongated rod shape (as shown in FIG. 11) or a small plate shape (as shown in FIG. 12). ), it therefore had various disadvantages.
例えば、底面の広い貯氷庫１４の場合、前記貯
氷検知体１９の形状が小形であるため、第１３図
に示されるように、貯氷された氷１３の極く一部
のみを検知しているにすぎなく、貯氷全体の傾向
を検知することは出来ず、正確な貯氷量の検知を
行うことが不可能であつた。 For example, in the case of the ice storage 14 with a wide bottom surface, the ice storage detector 19 is small in shape, so that only a small portion of the stored ice 13 is detected, as shown in FIG. Therefore, it was not possible to detect the overall trend of ice storage, and it was impossible to accurately detect the amount of ice storage.

が折れたりするような破損が発生することがあつ
た。 Furthermore, when taking out the ice 13 from the ice storage 14, a small scoop 20 is often used;
As shown in the figure, when the scoop 20 is forcefully put into the ice storage 14, the tip of the scoop 20 collides with the ice storage detector 19, causing the ice storage detector 19 to collide with the ice storage detector 19.
In some cases, damage such as breakage occurred.

に困難を極めていた。 Furthermore, in the configuration shown in FIG. 16, since only a small area of the ice storage detector 19 is in contact with the ice 13, the entire ice 13 is still full after the ice storage completion detection operation is completed. Despite that,
Only the ice in the portion that is in direct contact with the ice storage detector 19 melts quickly, and the ice storage detector 19 melts quickly.
As shown by B in the figure, the ice storage completion is not detected and the ice making cycle is restarted. however,
In this state, the ice storage 14 is actually full of ice 13, and the ice storage detector 1
Since it is difficult for the ice 13 to enter the gap formed around the ice 9, the ice making cycle continues indefinitely, and ice is stored at a position higher than the predetermined level. As shown by C in FIG. 16, the ice-making water tank 9 collided with the ice-making water tank 9, resulting in damage. Furthermore, in the conventional configuration shown in FIG. 10 described above, the ice 13 is
protruded toward the door 21, making it extremely difficult to open and close the door 21.

た。 Furthermore, the configuration shown in FIG. 18 shows a state in which ice is stored by repeating ice making and deicing operations using the injection type ice maker of the conventional configuration shown in FIG. The ice cubes 13 are stored in the ice storage 14
Because ice cubes 13 are accumulated only on one side of the ice cubes, that is, on the right side in FIG. 18, the ice cubes 13 shown in FIG. Ice storage completion detection device 1
5 was supposed to detect the completion of ice storage.
従つて、相当大形状の貯氷庫１４を形成した場
合においても、貯氷完了検知時には、貯氷庫１４
の一部にしか角氷１３が貯氷されていなかつた。 Therefore, even if the ice storage 14 is formed in a fairly large shape, when the completion of ice storage is detected, the ice storage 14
Ice cubes 13 were only stored in a portion of the area.

〓部を形成してなる噴射式製氷機に存する。 The gist of the present invention to achieve this purpose is to have an ice-making compartment fixedly placed in the main body, and an ice-making compartment that is openable and closable, and is in the closed position when making ice and in the open position when deicing. It has a water tray and an ice making water tank, and an ice storage disposed below the water tray and the ice making water tank, and when making ice, the ice making water in the ice making water tank is passed through the water tray to make the ice. In an injection ice maker that makes ice by injecting it into a room from below and storing ice in the ice storage during deicing,
substantially covering the bottom of the ice making water tank;
An ice detecting member is rotatably provided at one end in a cantilever manner with respect to the ice making water tank, and when the ice detecting member rotates relative to the ice making water tank during deicing, the ice detecting member is interlocked with the ice detecting member. an ice storage completion detection device for detecting a rotational state of a fixed amount as the completion of ice storage in the ice storage; and an ice making water remaining water in the ice making water tank is discharged to the outside when the ice making water tank is rotated to an open position. drainage means in the form of a flexible drainage hose connected to the ice water tank;
The other end of the ice detecting member has an ice detecting protrusion that protrudes beyond the tips of the water tray and the ice-making water tank, and ice that slides down on the water tray during deicing is placed on the ice detecting protrusion. The present invention relates to an ice injection type ice maker which is formed with a hollow portion that allows the ice to pass through the ice storage.
