Title:
ICE-MAKING MACHINE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019045127
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an ice-making machine in which a temperature sensor enabling reduction in the cost and size is provided on a lower surface side of a chill tray 2.SOLUTION: In an ice-making machine, projecting portions 21 each reflecting a shape of a water storage recessed portion are formed on a lower surface 2a of a chill tray 2, and a temperature sensor 8 comprising a thermistor 80 comes into contact with a side wall of the projecting portion 21. The temperature sensor 8 is covered with a flexible member 7 comprising a porous member (foam member). A cover member 9 for pressing the temperature sensor 8 against the chill tray 2 through the flexible member 7 is fixed to the lower surface 2a of the chill tray 2. In the temperature sensor 8, a sealing coating layer is provided to cover a temperature detection chip (thermistor element chip), and an exterior case is not used. Thus, this configuration can reduce cost of the temperature sensor 8 and reduce the size of the temperature sensor 8.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
