Embodiment Construction

[0020] Such as figure 1 The refrigerating appliance shown in schematic sectional view comprises a thermally insulated body 1 and a door 2, wherein they define an inner space serving as a freezing compartment. The interior 3 is cooled by an evaporator, which is accommodated in an evaporator chamber 4 demarcated in the upper region of the body 1 .

[0021] An automatic ice maker 5 is arranged in the inner space 3 next to the evaporator chamber 4 . Arranged below the ice maker 5 is a collection container 6 , which catches the ice cubes produced and discharged by the ice maker 5 . A screw conveyor 7 at the bottom of the collection container 6 is used to convey the ice cubes to an outlet 8 at the end of the collection container 6 near the door. A recess 12 is formed in the central region of the door 2, wherein the upper wall of said recess 12 is located below the outlet 8 of the collecting container. A cylindrical or funnel-shaped channel, also called an ice chute 9, extends thr...

Abstract

The ice relates to a device for removing condensation from an ice duct of an ice dispenser for a refrigerator, comprising a flap (18), which is arranged to seal an output opening (8) of the ice dispenser and a controller (50) for the flap (18), which is designed to move the flap (18) between a closed position, in which the inner side of the flap contacts the edge (23) of the outlet opening and a dispensing position in which the flap (18) is withdrawn from the edge (23) of the outlet opening to permit the dispensing of ice cubes, wherein the controller (50) is designed to open the flap (18) after expiry of a first time period (T1), during which the flap is not moved by the action of a user or by the controller (50) and to close the flap after expiry of a second time period (T2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ice cube dispenser for a refrigeration appliance and to the drainage of condensate at the ice channel of such an ice cube dispenser. Background technique [0002] In refrigerating appliances with a built-in ice maker, the ice cube dispenser generally comprises a channel, wherein the channel extends through the housing wall of the refrigerating appliance, in particular the door, the outer end of which can pass through a baffle is closed, thereby preventing warm air from entering the interior of the cooling appliance via the channel during non-use. The baffle is thermally insulated and has a seal extending all around the baffle so that with a closed baffle the ice cube dispenser can be protected to the greatest extent against the ingress of warm air from the outside. In general, the flapper is only opened when ice cubes are to be dispensed from the ice cube dispenser. [0003] While ice cubes, especially crushed ice, are bei...
