Abstract: A method of operating an ice making machine efficiently provides clean ice blocks. A special water-discharge operation which is performed when an ice storage switch (TS) provided at an ice storage chamber (16) storing ice blocks (M) separated in a deicing operation detects that the ice storage chamber (16) is full of ice discharges the ice-making water from the ice-making water tank (20) via water discharge means (44) by releasing a water discharge valve (DV) provided at the water discharge means (44). Then, the special water-discharge operation is terminated by closing the water discharge valve (DV) when a preset duration time (T) passes after a float switch (FS) provided at the ice-making water tank (20) detects an ice-making completion water level (LWL) of the ice-making water in the ice-making water tank (20) after discharge of the ice-making water to outside is started.

Abstract: An automatic ice making machine is provided that is capable of modifying an amount of feeding water depending on a temperature of makeup water. The automatic ice making machine is equipped with a deicing timer 42 to keep time of a deicing completion time period T1 in which deicing operation is completed. In addition, in a control means 24, a deicing water longest supply time period U1 is preset, which is a longest time period to supply deicing water in deicing operation. In a case where the deicing water is low in temperature, so that the deicing progresses slowly and thus the deicing completion time period T1 becomes equal to or greater than the deicing water longest supply time period U1, the control means 24 carries out water feeding in a feeding amount of water at low temperature at the time of water feeding. In contrast, in a case where deicing water is high in temperature, so that the deicing is promoted and thus the deicing completion time period T1 becomes shorter than the deicing water longest supply time period U1, the control means 24 carries out water feeding in a feeding amount of water at high temperature, which is more than the feeding amount of water at low temperature, at the time of water feeding.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ice-making unit for a flow-down type ice maker which improves a deicing efficiency by coupling ice cubes in the widthwise direction by a slight thickness. A cooling pipe 34 is disposed zigzagged between the opposing surfaces of a pair of ice-making plates 32, 32, with straight portions 34a vertically separated from one another by predetermined intervals to allow the cooling pipe to contact with the ice-making plate 32, 32. Vertical ribs 38 vertically extending to define ice-making areas 40 are protrusively provided on the front side of the ice-making plate 32, apart from one another at predetermined intervals in the widthwise direction. The height h2 of the vertical ribs 38 is set smaller than the height h1 of ice cubes 36 in the protruding direction of the vertical ribs 38. A refrigerant is supplied in circulation to the cooling pipe 34 and ice-making water is supplied to the ice-making areas 40 in an ice-making operation, thus forming ice cubes 36 on the front side of the ice-making plate 32 where the straight portions 34a contact. When the ice-making operation progresses, the ice cubes 36 become larger and rise over the right and left vertical ribs 38, 38 so that the ice cubes 36, 36 adjoining in the widthwise direction are coupled together by a light thickness.

Abstract: In an ice making plate where a plurality of ice making regions are formed in the vertical direction, a projecting portion having a lateral width B smaller than a lateral width A of the ice making regions is formed between adjacent ice making regions and a non-projecting portion is defined by the projecting portion between the adjacent ice making regions so as to produce ice in each ice making region. Most of the ice growth is restricted by an upper surface portion and lower surface portion of the projecting portion, and the ice is prevented from connecting to the other ice formed in another ice making region. However, a part of the ice grows so as to reach the non-projecting portion defined at both sides of the projecting portion, and partially connected ice is formed by connecting the ice to other ice grown similarly in other ice making regions. The whole partially connected ice is dropped as an integrated whole from the ice making plate.
