<p>Provided is an ice shaver (10) for a beverage dispenser which can charge granular ice in solid form into cups and which can also shave granular ice and charge the shaved ice into cups. Because an opening of an ice charging port (11a) is arranged in a position which expose the part of one end surface of the impeller (12) in the direction of the central axis of impeller (12) including the spindle (12a), granular ice can be charged into the ice shaver body (11) while being agitated by the impeller (12) at the ice charging port (11a), and this provides that advantage that the irregularity that clogging with granular ice occurs on the bottom end side of the ice introduction pipe (11b) can be prevented. Also, because the impeller (12) is rotated at a low speed in discharging granular ice from the ice shaver body (11), it is possible to reduce the discharge speed of the granular ice which is discharged from the ice shaver body (11) and hence it is possible to prevent the scattering of a beverage in discharging granular ice into a cup. Furthermore, when an overload occurs in a motor (12c) due to the locking of the impeller (12) caused by the clogging with granular ice etc., the driving of the impeller (12) is stopped. Therefore, the motor (12c) and a motor (12c) drive section can be protected from damage due to overcurrent and heating and troubles in the equipment can be prevented.</p> |
