It flows down the outer bottom surface 16b. Further, at the end of the deicing operation, the ice-making water, which has been returned to the horizontal state and is replenished to the full state, overflows from the open end 16a of the tank 16 and flows down along the tank outer bottom surface 16b. Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment, a means is provided for transmitting the ice making water flowing out from the tank open end 16a while avoiding the portion of the tank outer bottom surface 16b where the pump motor 26 is disposed.

16aから溢流し得るようになっている。(Regarding the First Embodiment) FIGS. 1 to 4 show the first embodiment of the present invention, in which a general ice making water tank 16 adopted in the above-mentioned jet type ice making machine is
In particular, as is clear from FIG. 1, when the deicing operation is approached, the ice making water is stored up to the water level indicated by the reference numeral WL. Then, the full ice-making water is stored at the front open end of the tank 16.
It can be spilled from 16a.

る。Therefore, in this embodiment, the open end 16a of the ice water tank 16 is
A blocking plate 40 projecting to a position slightly higher than the overflow level WL of the ice making water is integrally formed with a part of the above.
The damming plate 40 occupies approximately half of the tank open end 16a and is located on the same side as the portion of the ice making water tank 16 where the pump motor 26 is eccentrically provided.
Therefore, the ice making water that has reached the water level WL in the tank 16 is blocked by this blocking plate 40 and overflows only from the tank open end 16a where the blocking plate 40 is not provided. .
なお、前記堰止め板40の高さは、製氷水タンク16が傾動

開放端16aからのみ放出される。The height of the blocking plate 40 is, of course, set to such a dimension that the ice making water remaining in the ice making water tank 16 does not easily overflow when the ice making water tank 16 tilts. That is, even when the ice making water tank 16 is tilted, the ice making water remaining in the tank 16 is discharged only from the tank open end 16a where the blocking plate 40 is not provided.

A protrusion 39 is formed so as to project and extend. As shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable that the projection height of the projection 39 is set so that the lower surface of the projection is in close contact with the inside of the water guide plate 37 described above. The projection 39 allows the ice-making water, which flows out from the tank open end 16a separated from the blocking plate 40 and is transmitted to the tank outer bottom surface 16b, to be pumped by the pump motor 26 as described later.
It functions as a guide means for avoiding and transmitting.

The construction is exactly the same as that of the first embodiment in that it is slightly higher and integrally formed with a blocking plate 40 that protrudes to a position where ice making water does not easily overflow when the ice making water tank 16 tilts. . In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer bottom surface 16b of the tank 16 is formed with a protruding portion 42 that partially protrudes downward. This protrusion 42 is a blocking plate.
Covering a substantially triangular region from 40 to the position where the pump motor 26 is disposed, the downward protrusion height of the protrusion 42 is also
As shown in FIG. 7, the lower surface of the water guide plate 37 is set so as to come into close contact with the inside of the water guide plate 37.

The ice-making water flowing out from a and transmitted to the outer bottom surface 16b of the tank functions as a guide means for avoiding the pump motor 26 and transmitting the ice-making water. Further, by forming such a protrusion 42 at the bottom of the ice making water tank 16, when the water tray 18 and the tank 16 are tilted to release the ice making water in the tank,
Part of the sufficiently cold ice-making water remains on the protrusion 42. Therefore, the ice making water remaining on the protruding portion 42 can be effectively used for the next ice making operation, and since it is sufficiently cold, the ice making water replenished afterwards is quickly lowered to a temperature suitable for ice making.

開放端16aからタンク外底面16bを伝わって流下する。Operation of Embodiment Next, the operation of the outflow water guiding structure according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described. In the outflow water guiding structure according to the first embodiment, when the ice making operation is switched to the deicing operation, the water tray opening / closing mechanism operates to tilt the water tray 18 and the ice making water tank 16 (see FIG. 8). As a result, the ice making water in the ice making water tank is discharged from the tank open end 16a located away from the formation site of the dam plate 40 and collides with the water guide plate 37, and the water guide plate 37 and the tank outer bottom surface 16b. The water is collected in the drainage tray 33 through the gap between and. At this time, a part of the ice making water flows down from the tank open end 16a along the tank outer bottom surface 16b.

して、下方に位置する前記排水受皿33に回収される。On the outer bottom surface 16b of the tank, the above-mentioned protrusion 39 is provided with the dam plate 40.
Since it is formed toward the pump motor 26, the ice-making water that has flowed out flows by avoiding the installation site of the motor 26 by the projection 39. Therefore, the pump motor 26 does not come into contact with the outflow water and gets wet, and it is not necessary to provide the water cover 41 described with reference to FIG. The outflow water that has flowed along the outer bottom surface 16b of the tank and has been caused to avoid the motor 26 by the projection 39 is finally dropped by its own weight and is collected in the drain tray 33 located below.

て流れる。Further, the water tray 18 and the ice making water tank 16 tilted during the deicing operation return to the horizontal posture at the end of the deicing operation.
The tap water supplied from the water supply pipe 13 to the water tray 18 is stored in the tank 16 through the return hole 24 and the water escape hole 28, and the water level thereof gradually rises. The ice making water that has reached the full water level WL in the ice making water tank 16 overflows from the tank open end 16a located away from the site where the dam plate 40 is formed, and as shown by the arrow in the rear view of FIG. It flows down the bottom surface 16b.

As indicated by the arrow on the back surface, the protrusion 42 is formed so as to protrude from the blocking plate 40 toward the pump motor 26.
It will flow by avoiding the location of 26. Therefore the second
Also in the case of the embodiment, the pump motor 26 does not come into contact with the outflow water and get wet.

製造コストを低減させることができる。Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the outflow water guiding structure of the present invention, ice-making water is jetted and supplied to the ice-making small chambers that are defined downward, and a large number of ice cubes are continuously supplied to the ice-making small chambers. In the automatic ice making machine to be manufactured, the ice-making water is replenished to the ice-making water tank through the ice-making water tank that tilts during the de-icing operation and flows along the outer bottom surface of the tank, and the water tray that has returned to horizontal at the end of the de-icing operation. Then, the ice-making water overflowing from the open end of the tank and flowing along the outer bottom surface of the tank flows surely by avoiding the portion where the pump motor is disposed by the guide means projectingly formed on the outer bottom surface of the tank. Therefore, the pump motor is not wetted by the outflow water, and the conventionally-provided motor water cover is unnecessary. Also,
Since it is possible to avoid difficulties such as assembly and inspection work due to the presence of the cover, and because it has a simple structure,
The manufacturing cost can be reduced.
