초록 ▼

An ice making machine having a refrigeration system and a water system, the water system having a water reservoir located below a freeze plate adapted to hold water, and a sprayer assembly located below the freeze plate for spraying water from the water reservoir toward the pockets. An inclined ice slide is positioned below the freeze plate and above the sprayer assembly directing fallen ice toward an opening. A divider assembly separating the water system from the ice storage bin includes a plurality of dividers, wherein the dividers may rotate outwardly away from the opening to allow formed ice to fall into the ice storage bin. Each divider is formed from a generally rectangular body having a front face with a triangular-shaped thickness and an extension flap extending away from the body opposite the front face.

1. An ice maker comprising: a refrigeration system comprising a compressor, a condenser, a hot gas valve, and a thermal expansion device;an evaporator assembly comprising a refrigerant tubing in fluid communication with the refrigeration system such that refrigerant may cycle through the refrigerant tubing and the refrigeration system, and a freeze plate thermally coupled to the refrigerant tubing, the freeze plate compromising a plurality of ice-forming pockets;a water system for supplying water to the pockets of the freeze plate, the water system comprising a water reservoir located below the freeze plate adapted to hold water, a sprayer assembly located below the freeze plate for spraying water from the water reservoir toward the pockets, wherein the sprayer assembly is in fluid communication with the reservoir by a water line to cycle water up toward the pockets of the freeze plate;an ice storage bin for retaining the formed ice;an inclined ice slide positioned below the freeze plate and above the sprayer assembly directing fallen ice toward an opening between the water system and the ice storage bin;a divider assembly within the opening, the divider assembly comprising a plurality of dividers, wherein the dividers may rotate about an axis of rotation at a proximal end of the dividers outwardly away from the opening to allow formed ice to fall into the ice storage bin, wherein each of the plurality of dividers comprises: a generally rectangular body comprising a front face and an extension flap at the proximal end of the divider extending away from the body opposite the front face. 2. The ice maker of claim 1 wherein the front face of the dividers comprises a triangular-shaped thickness. 3. The ice maker of claim 1 wherein the ice slide further comprises a generally horizontal end face terminating in a plurality of drain holes to direct water back into the reservoir. 4. The ice maker of claim 1 wherein the dividers are capable of rotating from a normally closed position into an open position allowing formed ice to reach the ice bin. 5. The ice maker of claim 4 wherein the distal end of the dividers in their closed position and the end face of the ice slide define a gap separating the distal end of the dividers and the end face of the ice slide. 6. The ice maker of claim 5 wherein the divider assembly further comprises an attachment bracket for securing the dividers to the ice maker, the attachment bracket comprises an inner horizontal surface and wherein the extension flap engages with the inner horizontal surface to maintain the gap between the distal end of the dividers and the end face of the ice slide. 7. An ice discharging apparatus for use in a vertical spray-type ice making machine having a water spraying assembly positioned below a freeze plate, and an ice bin, the discharging apparatus comprising: an inclined ice slide positioned below the freeze plate and above the sprayer assembly directing fallen ice toward an opening to the ice storage bin;a divider assembly within the opening, the divider assembly comprising a plurality of dividers, wherein the dividers may rotate about an axis of rotation at a proximal end of the dividers outwardly away from the opening to allow formed ice to fall into the ice storage bin, wherein each of the plurality of dividers comprises: a generally rectangular body comprising a front face and an extension flap at the proximal end of the divider extending away from the body opposite the front face. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the front face of the dividers comprises a triangular-shaped thickness. 9. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the ice slide further comprises a generally horizontal end face terminating in a plurality of drain holes to direct water back into the reservoir. 10. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the dividers are capable of rotating from a normally closed position into an open position allowing formed ice to reach the ice bin. 11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the distal end of the dividers in their closed position and the end face of the ice slide define a gap separating the distal end of the dividers and the end face of the ice slide. 12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the divider assembly further comprises an attachment bracket for securing the dividers to the ice maker, the attachment bracket comprises an inner horizontal surface and wherein the extension flap engages with the inner horizontal surface to maintain the gap between the distal end of the dividers and the end face of the ice slide.
