QRA-340 CARD OPERATED
ICE DELIVERY
Inserting the card into the slot closes the normally
open contacts of the microswitch. The closed
contacts supply power to the push button switch.
Depressing the ice delivery push button allows
power to flow through the switch to the solid state
relay. The relay energizes and powers the windings
of the dispenser motor. This motor drives a
gearbox, which in turn drives a pulley. A toothed
positive displacement v-belt is attached to the drive
pulley, a spring loaded tension pulley, and the
agitator and dispenser pulleys. The turning of the
augers causes the ice to ride to the top of the
dispensing auger, where it will open a door and
drop through the ice chute into the bucket placed
beneath the outlet.
When sufficient ice has been dispensed, the push
button is released, delivery stops and the card is
removed.
