Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic ice maker and a refrigerator with the automatic ice maker. The automatic ice maker comprises an ice maker body, an ice making plate unit, a driving device, an ice probing pole and an ice storage box, wherein the ice making plate unit can be inserted in and pulled out from a cylindrical frame part of the ice maker body; the ice making plate unit comprises an ice making plate frame, an end cover and an ice making plate; the driving unit is installed on the ice maker body and is provided with a first driving shaft and a second driving shaft; the ice probing pole is arranged on the ice maker body; the ice making plate can be driven to rotate around the horizontal axis by the first driving shaft so as to drive the ice making plate to rotate in the ice making plate frame; the ice probing pole can be driven by the second driving shaft to rotate for a predetermined angle around the vertical axis in the horizontal plane so as to probe ice in the ice storagebox. According to the ice maker disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, as the ice probing pole can rotate in the horizontal direction for probing ice, thus the influence of ice accumulation shape can be overcame and the ice storage condition in the ice storage box can be accurately detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to an automatic ice maker and a refrigerator with the automatic ice maker. Background technique [0002] The ice probe rods (including Japanese ice machines) in the ice machines used in the refrigerators sold in the market are all installed on the side of the motor and take the horizontal axis as the rotation axis. The working principle of this type of ice machine is: water enters the ice tray, after a period of time, the water condenses into ice, at this time, the ice probe rod starts to work under the drive of the motor, and the ice probe goes down first, if the ice probe rod If the ice cube is not touched, the motor will control the rotation of the ice tray, and the ice cube will fall from the ice tray into the ice storage box. Then the motor controls the ice tray to reset, and after reaching the horizontal position, the water pump starts to work, refills the ice tray with wa...
