<p>Device for the production of ice cubes, comprising an ice-cube tray (5) with a mould cavity (6), water-metering means (1, 2, 3), a freezing element (7), control means with a timer unit for switching on the freezing element for a defined freezing time, an insert element (10) which can move up and down in the mould cavity and has a lifting part (11), the insert element comprising a piston part (13) and the ice-cube tray comprising a complementary cylinder part (12), which piston-cylinder system is connected to the water-metering means for moving the insert element upwards under the pressure of water after the freezing time in order to release an ice cube (20). The inlet opening (15) can be closed off by the insert element, is coupled to the water-metering means and is opened during the upwards movement of the insert element to fill the mould with water.</p> |
