Auger type ice machine

摘要

An auger type ice machine in which the load on a geared motor and an upper bearing is mitigated by detecting the load on an auger. A geared motor ( 9 ) disposed below a cylinder ( 1 ). A rotor ( 12 ) of the geared motor has an output shaft ( 13 ). A pulse encoder ( 14 ) is provided on the output shaft ( 13 ). The geared motor ( 9 ) is connected with a geared motor power supply ( 16 ) through a relay ( 15 ). Similarly, a compressor ( 3 ) is connected with a compressor power supply ( 18 ) through a relay ( 17 ). The relays ( 15 ) and ( 17 ) are controlled by a control portion ( 19 ). The control portion ( 19 ) controls the relays ( 15 ) and ( 17 ) according to a signal inputted from the pulse encoder ( 14 ).
