Patent number: 7788934Abstract: A control device for an auger type ice making machine according to the present invention includes a driver circuit that drives a geared motor for rotating an auger; a voltage detector that detects an input voltage applied to the geared motor; a current detector that detects a motor current flowing in the geared motor; and a control circuit in which a plurality of current threshold values that differ according to the input voltage are set in advance, the control circuit controlling the driver circuit so as to stop the geared motor when a value of the motor current detected by the current detector exceeds a current threshold value that corresponds to the value of the input voltage detected by the voltage detector.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2003Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Hoshizaki Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akihiro Kodama, Tomohito Nomura, Yasuki Mizutani, Hiroyuki Sugie, Shigeaki Tamaki

Patent number: 6715641Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting a cock driving device in a beverage dispense. A manipulating lever for a dispensing cock is correctly opened and closed at all times by the cock driving device. The manipulating lever for the dispensing cock is provided with an interlock member which moves back and forth integrally with the lever, and the interlock member is provided with a magnet. A pair of hole elements capable of sensing the magnet are arranged one behind the other, spaced from each other, on a mounting plate arranged on a slider. The magnet is set to face an intermediate position of both hole elements of the slider staying at a standby position, with the dispensing cock staying at a neutral position. A control board moves the slider for correction to a position at which the magnet reaches the intermediate position of the hole elements if the magnet does not face the intermediate position of the pair of hole elements.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2001Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Hoshizaki Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Torimitsu, Akira Ogawa, Sukehide Itou, Naomoto Amano, Shigekazu Kondou, Satoru Kobayashi, Shigeaki Tamaki, Kouji Sutou

Patent number: 6609387Abstract: A detection device for detecting rotational abnormalities of an auger is formed within an ice making cylinder. The rotational abnormality detection device has a detecting portion made from a substrate mounted with two hall ICs, and a detection object portion made from a magnet. The detection object portion is embedded in a main body portion of the auger. Further, the detecting portion is formed so as to protrude from an inner surface of the ice making cylinder, and is placed such that the magnetic force from the detection object portion can be detected.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2002Date of Patent: August 26, 2003Assignee: Hoshizaki Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Sasaki, Yoshio Furukawa, Yuji Hirano, Shigeaki Tamaki

Patent number: 6398084Abstract: A beer pouring faucet 14 provided in front of the server main body 12 extends from the faucet main body 18 and includes the operating lever 20 which functions to change pouring of beer or the head by tilting the lever back and forth. The drive apparatus 26 which is capable of automatic operation of the operating lever 20 comprises a housing 32 provided movably vertically with respect to the server main body 12, a horizontally movable slider 34 in forward and backward directions housed in the housing 32 and a drive mechanism 36 which moves the slider 34 forward and backward, The drive apparatus 26 is positioned at an operating position where the operating lever 20 is inserted into the engagement hole 61 of the slider 34 or at a non-operating position where the operating lever 20 is separated from the engagement hole 61 by moving the housing vertically.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: Hoshizaki Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumio Maruyama, Satoshi Takeuchi, Kouji Sutou, Akira Ogawa, Sukehide Itou, Naomoto Amano, Shigekazu Kondou, Satoru Kobayashi, Shigeaki Tamaki
