Ice shaver for beverage dispenser

An ice shaver for a beverage dispenser, comprising:

• an icemaker body having an ice charging port, a granular ice discharging port and a shaved ice discharging port;
• a cutting blade provided in the vicinity of the shaved ice discharging port of the ice shaver body;
• an impeller which is rotatably provided within the ice shaver body, discharges granular ice charged from the ice charging port into the ice shaver body from the granular ice discharging port by being rotated in one direction, shaves the granular ice charged from the ice charging port into the ice shaver body, and discharges the shaved ice from the shaved ice discharging port by being rotated in the other direction;
• a motor which rotates the impeller in one direction and in the other direction;
• and
• a rotational speed changeover unit which sets the rotational speed of the motor at a prescribed first rotational speed. when the impeller is rotated in the other direction and at a prescribed second rotational speed which is lower than the first rotational speed when the impeller is rotated in one direction.

• and
• a driving stop unit which stops the driving of the motor when rotation resistance higher than a prescribed level acts on the impeller which is rotating.
