Abstract: Provided is a dispenser including an ice-making water tank for storing ice-making water and an auger-type ice-making machine for producing ice chips by freezing the ice-making water in the ice-making water tank. The auger-type ice-making machine includes a refrigeration casing into which the ice-making water is supplied, and the refrigeration casing and the drain pan are connected to each other through the intermediation of an ice-making water drain pipe. The ice-making water in the refrigeration casing is drained at predetermined time points, and the drain pan is washed with the ice-making water thus drained.

Abstract: Provided is a dispenser in which a wash water discharge opening provided to a drain pan is connected to an external tap water system via a wash water supply path. The wash water supply path is provided with a wash water supply valve for controlling whether or not to supply wash water to the drain pan. Based on delivery information output from a delivery control section for controlling delivery of ice chips, a wash control section in a controller judges whether or not a delivery count of the ice chips has reached a predetermined set count, and, when it is judged that the delivery count has reached the set count, opens the wash water supply valve to perform a wash action.

The wash water supply path is provided with a wash water supply valve for controlling whether or not to supply wash water to the drain pan. A wash control section in a controller performs timing separately from control of a generation/delivery control section for performing generation and delivery of ice chips, and also performs a wash action at predetermined time intervals by opening the wash water supply valve.

Abstract: A pair of claw portions that may be elastically deformed are formed at both ends of a top surface of a base body of a detecting plate base. A circular arc portion and a switch holding portion are formed between the pair of claw portions. A recessed portion is formed on the lower surface side of the base body by the circular arc portion so that a detecting plate, which is mounted on the detecting plate base, may be rotated. A lead switch is attachably and detachably mounted on the switch holding portion. An apparatus for detecting an amount of stored ice is attachably and detachably fitted from the interior of the ice storing chamber to an opening portion formed in the top plate of the ice storing chamber by the claw portions of the detecting plate base.
