摘要： An ice dispenser apparatus includes an ice making mechanism (1) and, an ice storage box (5) for storing ice pieces produced by the ice making mechanism. When the ice pieces are dispensed a discharge port shutter (9) normally closing a discharge port (5c) provided in the ice storage box (5) at a lower portion thereof is opened by a discharge port shutter actuator (11). A transient storage chamber (13) is provided in communication with the discharge port (5c), the chamber having a normally closed aperture for transiently storing a predetermined amount of ice pieces discharged from the ice storage box (5) through the discharge port (5c) when the discharge port shutter (9) is opened. A transient storage chamber shutter (10) is provided in association with the transient storage chamber (13) and is adapted to be actuated by a transient storage chamber shutter actuator (12) for selectively opening or closing the aperture. The discharge port shutter (9) and the transient storage chamber shutter (9) are opened and closed by the associated actuators (11, 12), respectively, in such a manner that the predetermined amount of ice pieces is temporarily stored once within the transient storage chamber (13) before being dispensed therefrom.

摘要： An auger type ice making mahine has a refrigerator, an ice making cylinder for forming a layer of ice in cooperation with the refrigerator, and a top ice storage chamber in communication with the ice making cylinder for storing ice discharged therefrom. A bottom ice storage chamber is disposed below the top ice storage chamber for receiving and storing ice transferred from the top ice storage chamber. The top ice storage chamber is equipped with a top ice storage level detector for detecting the amount of ice stored within the top chamber, an ice dispensing gate mechanism capable of dispensing ice pieces stored in the top ice storage chamber outwardly therefrom, and an ice transfer system capable of transferring ice pieces from the top ice storage chamber to the bottom ice storage chamber. The bottom ice storage chamber is provided with a bottom ice storage level detector for detecting the amount of ice stored within the bottom chamber. The refrigerator is stopped by the top ice storage detector when a predetermined amount of stored ice is detected. The ice transfer system is controlled so as to be released from the operating state by the bottom ice storage level detector when a predetermined amount of stored ice within the bottom chamber is detected.

摘要： A liquid level control apparatus which detects a liquid level in a tank employed, for example, in ice making equipment, to thereby trigger a control operation. The level control apparatus comprises a tank containing a body of liquid, a float movable in response to the vertical movement of the surface of liquid within the tank, a hollow case having a closed top and an open bottom, and a guide member disposed within the case for guiding the vertical movement of the float. The hollow case is arranged so that the open bottom thereof is closed by the rising liquid to thereby from a hermetically closed chamber within the case. An upstanding tubular member extends into the hollow case such that the lower end of the tube defines a level of liquid at which the hermetically closed chamber is formed. The chamber thus formed is effective for preventing the guide member from being immersed in the liquid to assure smooth movement of the float.

摘要： A rotary cutter for an auger type ice making machine mounted on a rotatable shaft thereof comprises a plurality of cutter blades for cutting ice rods extruded from ice compressing passages into ice pellets or chips. Some of the cutter blades are integrally provided at an upper edge portion thereof with an ice feeding blade having an inclination relative to the center axis of the cutter which is smaller than that of the associated cutter blade. Owing to the provision of the ice feeding blades, the ice chips resulting from the cutting are prevented from staying at the upper edge portions of the cutter blades. As compression of ice between the cutter blades does not effectually take take between the cutter blades, the ice is not unncessarily hardened, facilitating extrusion of ice from the cutter.

摘要： An auger-type ice making machine has a refrigerating cylinder having upper and lower bearings, an auger supported rotatably within the refrigerating cylinder by the upper and lower bearings, a water supply valve for supplying water to the refrigerating cylinder, a drain valve in fluid communication with the refrigerating cylinder for discharging water therefrom, an electric detector assembly including an electrode member having its one end extending into the refrigerating cylinder, and an electric control circuit electrically connected to the electrode member to receive a detection signal from the electric detector assembly. The electric control circuit determines on the basis of the detection signal that the impurity concentration of the water has increased beyond a predetermined level. The water supply valve and the drain valve are electrically connected to the control circuit to be closed and opened, respectively, when the control circuit determines that the impurity concentration of water has increased beyond this predetermined level, thereby interrupting the water supply to the refrigerating cylinder while discharging water therefrom in an automatic manner.
