    摘要: A refrigerator may include a refrigerator cabinet and at least one compartment disposed within the refrigerator cabinet, an ice maker for making wet ice disposed within the refrigerator cabinet, a bucket for storing the ice, the bucket positioned to receive the wet ice from the ice maker, and a drain in the bucket for draining water from the bucket. A method of making ice in a refrigerator includes making ice using an ice maker of the refrigerator, conveying the ice from the ice maker to a bucket having a drain, maintaining the ice in the bucket at a temperature above freezing to allow the ice to melt to water, and draining the water from the bucket.

    摘要: An ice maker is provided that includes a tray (50) having recesses (56) that can include ice-phobic surfaces. The ice-phobic surfaces may include ice-phobic coatings, textured metal surfaces, hydrophobic coatings or other surfaces configured to repel water and ice. The tray can be formed from metal material and may exhibit a fatigue limit greater than about 150 Megapascals (MPa) at 10 5 cycles. The ice maker further includes a frame body (40) coupled to the tray, and a driving body (44) that is rotatably coupled to the tray (50). The driving body (44) is further adapted to rotate the tray (50) in a clockwise and/or counter-clockwise cycle such that the tray (50) presses against the frame body (40) in a manner that flexes the tray (50)to dislodge ice pieces formed in the recesses (56) of the tray (50).

    摘要: An ice harvesting prevention mechanism (20), including an actuator (30), is provided for an ice maker (22). The ice maker is arranged to make, harvest and dispense ice to an ice bucket (26) located in an ice receiving position. An ice harvesting prevention device (20) is arranged to prevent dispensing of ice in a first position of the actuator and to permit dispensing of ice in a second position of the actuator. The ice bucket itself (26), or a movable button (50) carried on the ice bucket, may engage the actuator, when the ice bucket is placed in the ice receiving position, to move the actuator from the first position to the second position. The button may be moved to an "off" position to prevent engagement with the actuator, thereby preventing dispensing of ice when the ice bucket is in the ice receiving position.

    摘要: An ice maker assembly is provided that includes a tray (50)having a plurality of ice-phobic recesses (56). The recesses (56) may possess a total water volume of 70 cc or greater. The tray (50) comprises metal material and can be formed with a substantially uniform strain distribution. The ice maker further includes a frame body (40) coupled to the tray (50), a driving body (44) that is rotatably coupled to the ice-forming tray (50), and a processor that is operatively coupled to the driving body (44). The processor controls the driving body (44) to rotate the tray (50) in a manner that flexes the tray (50) to dislodge ice pieces formed in the recesses (56).

    摘要: A method and device for producing ice droplets on-demand in a refrigerator is provided wherein small water droplets are dropped from a valve through a supercooled chamber where the water freezes and forms ice pieces, such as in the form of pellets, while free-falling through the chamber, with the ice being directed to a dispenser assembly. The size and dispensing rate of the droplets can be selected by a user and regulated by a controller. The method and device eliminates the need for bulk ice storage and dispensing components.
