Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 and 2 A cross-sectional view of an ice maker 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The ice maker 1 comprises an ice making bowl 2 having at least one compartment 3 in which water supplied to the associated compartment 3 can be frozen to form ice cubes 4 . The corresponding compartment, for example the compartment 3 of the ice maker 1 , has in its receiving area the shape of a body of revolution, in this case a cylinder. The body of revolution shape of all the compartments arranged in the ice-making bowl 2 has parallel axes of rotation which preferably coincide to form a single axis of rotation. All compartments arranged in the ice-making bowl 2 are arranged in a row.

[0022] In order to allow the water held by the corresponding compartment, for example the water held by the compartment 3 of the ice maker 1, to be able to freeze to form ice cubes 4, the ice maker 1 is placed in the cooling zone ( figure 1 and 2 Not shown in ), whe...

Abstract

On an ice maker (1) comprising an ice maker bowl (2) having at least one compartment (3) in the shape of a rotational body, in the respective compartment (3) of which water can be frozen into an ice body (4), and comprising a heating device (7) associated with one of the ice maker bowls (2) for heating the respective compartment (3) after forming an ice body (4) therein, an ice body ejection device having an ejection element (5) exerting a spring force can be applied to the respective ice body (4) such that the particular ice body (4) can be guided out of the compartment (3) solely by the spring force that is applied thereto after thawing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ice maker and a household appliance, wherein said household appliance comprises such an ice maker, said ice maker comprising an ice making bowl, wherein said ice making bowl comprises at least one compartment in the shape of a rotating body, said inside the compartment, water can be frozen to form ice; a heating device assigned to the ice making bowl to heat the corresponding compartment; and an ice ejection device, the ejection element of which can be applied to the corresponding ice cube surface area to direct the ice out of the associated compartment. Background technique [0002] Different embodiments of ice makers of the type described above are known. For such embodiments (see eg US4866948, JP2005 / 300095A), the ice making bowls used are preferably made of metal and are electrically heated after the ice cubes have been formed from the water held in the respective bowl compartment until All ice cubes are loose ...
