This necessitates a simple, compact, and economical design of the machine. This makes installation more difficult, increases production costs, and complicates assembly, maintenance, service, and troubleshooting. It complicates business processes. In addition, the presence of two different ice production structures within the same machine allows for cooling. 35 This makes it difficult for the system and its auxiliary components to work together harmoniously. In particular... Main components such as compressor, condenser, and fan motor have multiple ice production functions. Designing it to serve this purpose presents significant technical design challenges. This in this context, an increase in the number of components or the machine structure becoming unnecessarily complex Its arrival can lead to negative consequences in terms of cost, likelihood of malfunction, and energy consumption. 40 2 On the other hand, two different evaporators or two different ice-forming mechanisms can provide the same cooling. In structures where it is operated within a cycle, the direction of the coolant flow and the management of heat loads Balancing and maintaining system stability also presents a separate technical challenge. Furthermore, user needs have evolved over time in machines catering to different ice types. Its adaptability diversifies the device's usage scenarios, whereas in known systems... Various needs arise in terms of flexibility of use, ease of control and operational efficiency. This is especially true in commercial applications, where the device meets different usage expectations. Its ability to provide this service, its practical management, and the fact that it does not require additional technical processes from the user are important factors. It offers. 10 In conclusion, all the problems mentioned above necessitate an innovation in the relevant technical field. has brought.

It is related to an ice machine, with the aim of bringing advantages. One aim of the invention is to determine the refrigeration cycle and the positioning of the components involved in this cycle. 20 Thanks to this, it is possible to produce two different types of ice using a limited number of ingredients. The goal is to create a machine. Another purpose of the invention is to allow the user to choose only gourmet options via the interface screen. Switching to ice or just nugget ice production and, if desired, again producing two different types of ice 25 The goal is to create an ice machine that enables collaborative ice production. Another objective of the invention is to combine two different ice production structures with additional valves, additional flow control elements, and additional a system that reduces the need for expansion elements and additional auxiliary components The goal is to create an ice machine that enables bringing them together. 30 Another objective of the invention is to feed two different evaporators sequentially on a single line. By simplifying the refrigerant circulation, maintaining the stability of the refrigeration cycle, and The goal is to develop an ice machine that reduces the risk of liquid returning to the compressor. 35 To achieve all the objectives mentioned above and outlined in the detailed description below. The present invention relates to an ice machine that produces type 1 ice and type 2 ice. Accordingly, The innovation is a compressor that compresses the refrigerant, and the compressed refrigerant exits the compressor. the compressed refrigerant is discharged by connecting to a compressor outlet pipe.

Thus, the refrigerant flows through a single cycle. By directing them, the first type of ice and the second type of ice can be produced within the same machine. the ability to produce ice and to carry out the ice release cycle within the same system. is provided. 10 The feature of a possible configuration of the invention is that the user can only produce the first type of ice, only second type of ice production or a combination of first and second type ice production at least one interface that allows it to choose how it will be implemented, and the information received through that interface. Depending on the choice, if only type 1 ice production is selected, then type 2 ice production will be 15. only second type of ice, controlling a drive element relating to the second evaporator to stop it. If this production method is chosen, the water transmission system will stop supplying water to the first evaporator. It includes a control unit that controls the element. Thus, it can be controlled according to the user's needs. The production of type 1 ice, type 2 ice alone, or both types of ice together becomes a selectable option. By maintaining the refrigerant cycle, actual ice production on the non-selected side can be prevented. 20 A feature of a possible configuration of the invention is that the capillary tube connects the dryer and the evaporator inlet tube. connected in such a way that it will be in contact with the compressor return pipe along its entire length. It is located and positioned to surround the liquid collector. Thus, with the capillary tube A thermal interaction is created between the compressor return pipe and the liquid collector, causing 25 to pass through the capillary line. the fluid reaches suitable cooling conditions and a higher percentage of the fluid returning to the compressor It is kept in the gas phase. A feature of a possible configuration of the invention is the connection between the capillary tube and the compressor return tube. The connection is a welded connection. Thus, the 30 between the capillary tube and the compressor return tube. the contact is maintained more stably and the thermal interaction between them is more effective. This is ensured. A distinctive feature of a possible configuration of the invention is that the primary evaporator is a gourmet ice evaporator. Thus, cooling and ice formation conditions suitable for gourmet ice production are achieved on the first evaporator. 35 is obtained. A characteristic feature of a possible configuration of the invention is that the second evaporator is a nugget ice evaporator. Thus, suitable cooling and ice formation conditions for nugget ice production are achieved on the second evaporator. is obtained. 40 4 The invention also relates to a method of producing type 1 ice and type 2 ice in an ice machine. According to the innovation, the refrigerant is compressed inside a compressor, increasing its pressure and temperature. the increase in compressed refrigerant flow from a compressor outlet pipe into a T-pipe the transfer of the compressed fluid while the hot fluid valve is closed during the cooling cycle.

The materials are retained by passing the refrigerant exiting the dryer through a capillary tube. reducing the pressure and allowing the refrigerant to expand as it exits the capillary tube The ice is conveyed to the first type evaporator via the evaporator inlet pipe, and the first type ice production is 10%. This is ensured by the refrigerant exiting the first type of evaporator through a connecting pipe to the second type. The coolant from the first type of evaporator is conveyed to the second type of evaporator to produce ice, and the coolant coming out of the second type of evaporator... The process of directing the fluid through an evaporator return pipe to a liquid collector; liquid collector inside, the refrigerant is retained in the liquid phase and the refrigerant is mixed in the gas phase. The ice is transferred back to the compressor via the compressor return pipe, and when ice production is complete, 15 Opening the hot fluid valve allows the hot fluid at the compressor outlet to flow through the hot fluid valve.

An image has been provided. Figure 2 shows another 30 components and the cooling cycle of the ice machine that is the subject of the invention. An isometric view is provided. Figure 3 shows the working diagram of the control unit in the ice machine that is the subject of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 35 This detailed explanation of the ice machine invention is solely for the purpose of providing a better understanding of the subject. This is explained with examples that will not create any limiting effects. Figure 1 shows an isometric view of the components and cooling cycle of the ice machine that is the subject of the invention. The appearance is given. The ice machine (1) produces a first type of ice and a second type of ice in the same machine. It is a cooling and ice-forming system that enables ice production. The machine contains a cooling system. The fluid is circulated through a closed loop, and thanks to this loop, the relevant evaporator... A cooling effect is created on their surfaces, causing the water to turn into ice. In the preferred configuration, the first type of ice is gourmet ice, while the second type is nugget ice. However... It is obvious that different types of ice can also be produced, such as finger ice, flake ice, crushed ice, and so on. Ice 5 machine (1) restaurants, hotels, cafes, bars, hospitals, laboratories and food processing plants It can be widely used in many areas, such as those mentioned above. The ice machine contains a compressor (10). The compressor (10) circulates the refrigerant in the cycle. It takes in the fluid and compresses it, increasing its pressure and temperature. Cooling cycle 10 It starts with the compressor (10). The fluid compressed in the compressor turns into superheated steam. and leaves the compressor through the compressor outlet pipe (11) to which it is connected. Compressor outlet pipe (11) discharges the high-pressure and high-temperature fluid from the compressor outlet It takes and moves to a direction point. This direction point is T pipe (12), T pipe (12) A coupling that can direct the compressed fluid from the compressor into two separate flow paths. 15 It is an element. One end of the T-tube (12) is connected to a condenser (20) via the condenser inlet tube (21), The other side is connected to a hot fluid valve (50) via a hot fluid pipe (80). Since the hot fluid valve (50) is closed during the normal refrigeration cycle, the fluid coming from the compressor (10) The superheated steam is mainly directed towards the condenser (20). However, towards the hot fluid valve (50) There is also superheated steam in the hot fluid pipe (80) which is 20. The condenser (20) transfers the heat of the refrigerant in the form of superheated vapor from the compressor (10) to the outside. It cools the fluid by releasing it into the environment. Thanks to the condenser (20), the fluid is cooled by at least one fan motor. It is cooled and converted to the liquid phase with the help of the airflow it provides. Condenser inlet tube (21) is the line that allows the fluid to be taken into the condenser, and a condenser outlet pipe (22) 25 the exit of the fluid, which condenses into liquid form, from the condenser and its transfer to a dryer (30) It provides. The liquid fluid, carried by the condenser outlet pipe (22), then reaches the dryer (30). The dryer (30) removes unwanted substances such as dust, dirt, grime and moisture from the refrigerant. It is a purification element that ensures the retention of fluid. Thus, the fluid circulating within the system is cleaner. and progress under more favorable conditions, especially in sensitive parts such as capillary tube (40) and evaporator This ensures that clogging or performance degradation does not occur. In other words, the dryer... (30) contributes to preparing the fluid for the next expansion and cooling stage. 35 The dryer (30) is connected to a capillary tube (40). The capillary tube (40) reduces the pressure of the fluid in liquid state. It is a narrow section tube element that drops abruptly. The fluid moves along the capillary tube (40) It expands and its temperature drops significantly. For example, at the beginning of the capillary tube (40) The temperature, which is around 35 degrees, drops to below zero degrees at the evaporator inlet. This The drop causes the fluid to reach a type 1 evaporator at a low temperature, and the 40 required for ice production. It makes it possible to obtain a cooling effect. In other words, a capillary tube (40) 6 It is connected to the evaporator inlet pipe (100). The cross-sectional diameter of the said evaporator inlet pipe (100) is: The cross-sectional diameter of the capillary tube (40) is larger than the diameter of the capillary tube. Therefore, the fluid coming out of the capillary tube (40) through the evaporator inlet pipe (100) to the first evaporator (60) where the first type of ice is produced It reaches. In summary, the capillary tube (40) is connected at one end to the dryer (30) and at the other end to the evaporator inlet tube (100) It is positioned to be in contact with the fluid. The capillary tube (40) in question is the dryer (30) along the extension between the evaporator inlet pipe (100) and the compressor which will be described below. It is connected in such a way as to contact the return pipe (140) and which will be explained below. It is placed to surround a liquid collector (130) (see capillary tube (40) in Figure 1 10 It is shown above the compressor return pipe (140) and around the liquid collector (130). As a result of this structural arrangement, the capillary tube (40) and the liquid collector (130) and the compressor return Thermal interaction occurs between the tube (140). Thanks to this thermal interaction, While ensuring that the fluid passing through the capillary tube (40) reaches suitable cooling conditions, The fluid that flows through the compressor return pipe (140) reaches the compressor (10) before it is 15 This ensures that a high percentage of the heat remains in the gas phase. Thus, a separate heat exchanger is required in the system. an exchanger effect resulting from the placement of the capillary tube (40) without the need for an element It is obtained by welding the capillary tube (40) and the compressor return tube (140). They are connected. However, alternative structures may use a different connection method or element. It can be used. The liquid collector (130) can be twisted and surrounded in a spiral shape. 20 The ice machine includes a primary evaporator (60). The primary evaporator (60) is preferably for gourmet ice. This is the section where the production takes place. However, it is suitable for the production of different types of ice. It is clear that adjustments are also possible. When the refrigerant reaches the first evaporator (60) Evaporation begins and cooling occurs on the surface of the first evaporator due to the evaporation effect. 25 This occurs. In this way, the water on or around the first evaporator (60) It becomes possible to freeze them. The first evaporator (60) is also connected to at least one water conveying element. The water conveying element in question (61) ensures that the water to be frozen is conveyed to the first evaporator (60), especially for gourmet ice 30 In applications for production, water is brought to the surface of the first evaporator (60) through nozzles. It is sprayed. This allows the water to be distributed in a controlled manner over the evaporator surface and By gradually freezing, it is possible to create gourmet ice. Essentially, a It is a water pump. 35 After the ice machine (1) creates a cooling effect in the first evaporator (60), the fluid is transferred to a second evaporator. It includes a connecting pipe (120) that transmits the water to the evaporator (70). Connecting pipe (120), It is the structure that establishes direct fluid contact between the first evaporator (60) and the second evaporator (70). Thanks to the connecting pipe (120), the fluid is completely vaporized at the outlet of the first evaporator (60). It is not expected to pass through, instead, as a mixture of liquid and gas, to the second evaporator (70) 40 Therefore, the refrigerant coming out of the first evaporator (60) is fed. 7 It proceeds directly to the second evaporator (70). In this way, within a single refrigeration cycle It is possible to generate the cooling effect sequentially in both evaporators with additional flow. Thermal conditions required for the production of type 2 ice without the need for guiding elements. is provided. The second evaporator (70) is the section where nugget ice production takes place, and it is connected by a pipe (120). It is cooled by the incoming coolant. Here, the coolant has a second cooling effect. It produces and allows nugget ice formation. Associated with the second evaporator (70) The drive element (71) is the actuator that enables the nugget ice production mechanism to operate. It is a component. In an alternative configuration, a second evaporator (70) can produce a different type of ice. 10 The fluid exiting the second evaporator returns through the evaporator return pipe (110). This There may be a small amount of liquid phase in the return flow. Therefore, the ice machine (1) is a liquid collector. (130) is included. The liquid collector (130) is connected to the evaporator return pipe (110) and to the compressor. A safety device that collects the liquid phase within itself to prevent the fluid from escaping in liquid form. 15 It is a component. Thanks to the liquid collector (130), the liquid that could go to the compressor (10) is prevented and Damage to the compressor (10), especially the pistons, can be prevented. Therefore, the liquid collector (130) By holding the liquid, it ensures that the fluid essentially returns to the compressor in the gas phase. The ice machine (1) includes at least one compressor return pipe. The liquid is separated in the collector and the gas 20 The fluid approaching its phase is returned to the compressor via the compressor return pipe (140). (10) is transmitted and thus the cooling cycle is completed. The ice machine includes a hot fluid valve (50). The hot fluid valve (50) is for normal cooling. Unlike the ice release cycle, it is a controlled valve that operates in the defrost cycle. Here, 25 The expression "hot fluid" refers to fluid compressed by the compressor (10), its temperature increased, and T-tube (12) superheated steam between 60-100 degrees, for example, which has progressed into the hot fluid pipe (80) via the means It refers to a refrigerant that can exist in one form. During normal operation, another In other words, during the cooling cycle the hot fluid valve (50) will not allow fluid passage. It is closed as shown. 30 However, when ice production is completed in the first evaporator (60), this hot fluid valve (50) is a coil It is opened with the help of the hot gas coming from the compressor (10) through the hot fluid pipe (80) and the valve through a bypass pipe (90) to which it is connected at the other end, to the first evaporator (60) The hot fluid pipe (80) directs the hot gas from the outlet of the T pipe (12) 35 The intermediate pipe through which the hot gas is carried to the valve is the bypass pipe (90) and this hot gas is cooled in a different way than the normal cooling path. It is the line that delivers the hot gas directly from the valve to the first evaporator (60). Hot gas first evaporator (60) It heats it slightly, causing the ice that forms here to separate from the surface and fall down. Then The same hot flow passes through the connecting pipe (120) to the second evaporator (70), heating it as well. This prepares the fluid for the next cooling cycle. Afterwards, the fluid returns to the return line, liquid 40 It reaches the collector (130) and the compressor (10). 8 Ice machine (1), hot fluid valve (50) (via coil), supplying water to first evaporator (60) from the water conveying element (61) and the drive element (71) which provides ice formation in the second evaporator (70) It includes a control unit (K) to ensure the control of at least one of them. This control unit... The unit (K) receives user commands from an interface (A) contained in the ice machine (1) in accordance with these commands. It carries out the checks. 5 The interface (A) is the display screen and / or interface that allows the user to determine the operating mode of the machine. It is a structure that allows user interaction in the form of a keypad. The user interacts via the interface (A). only type 1 ice production, only type 2 ice production, or both types of ice together. The user can choose the production method. Additionally, the user can adjust the thickness of the ice produced via interface (A) to 10. It is also possible to make at least one adjustment to increase or decrease the value. The control unit (K) processes these user selections and manages the components accordingly. It is an electronic control structure. The control unit (K) is only active when the first type of ice production mode is selected. Stopping the drive element (71) for second type ice production, only second type ice production mode 15 When selected, it disables the water conveying element (61) for the first type of ice production. The control unit (K) also controls ice production depending on the ice fullness setting entered via the interface (A). duration, ice release timing, sensor threshold value and / or operating time of related components It can be modified. Thus, the refrigerant cycle essentially follows the same flow path. Despite being maintained through this method, actual ice formation is prevented on the unselected ice production side. 20 And the ice characteristics can also be controlled according to user needs. This allows for a single... It is possible to select different production modes according to user needs while maintaining the cooling cycle. is becoming. In light of all that has been explained, the invention works as follows: The refrigerant first passes through the compressor for 25 minutes. (10) is compressed and then conveyed through the T-pipe (12) towards the condenser (20). The fluid, which passes into the liquid phase by being cooled in the condenser (20), passes through the dryer (30) and then capillaries It reaches the pipe (40), where its pressure drops and its temperature decreases before being sent to the first evaporator (60). After the first cooling effect is created in the first evaporator (60), the fluid connection is made. It passes through the pipe (120) to the second evaporator (70) and cooling in the second evaporator (70) 30 It continues to have its effect. Then the fluid passes through the evaporator return pipe (110) to the liquid collector. (130) reaches here, after the liquid phase is separated, the essentially gas phase fluid compressor It returns to the compressor via the return pipe (140). Thus, the refrigeration cycle is completed. and the cycle repeats continuously. The capillary tube (40) surrounds the liquid collector (130) and Thanks to its contact with the compressor return pipe (140), it also has a 35 during the cycle. Thermal interaction is also obtained, so that the fluid passing through the capillary tube (40) is cooled appropriately. to meet the conditions and to have a higher proportion of the fluid returning to the compressor (10) in the gas phase This finding is supported. In Figures 1 and 2, the fluid flow is shown with arrows. In a system where type 1 and type 2 ice are produced together, the coolant flows through the same line 40 It reaches the first evaporator (60) and the second evaporator (70) respectively, to the first evaporator 9 (60) First type ice production is carried out by spraying conveyed water, while in the second evaporator (70) The production of the second type of ice is carried out simultaneously. Thus, within a single cooling cycle. Two different types of ice can be produced within the same machine. If the user selects only the second type of ice production via interface (A), the refrigerant is 5 The cycle continues along the same path. However, the first one is controlled by the control unit (K). Because the water conveying element (61) that conveys water to the evaporator (60) is deactivated, the first evaporator (60) Even though it continues to cool, no actual ice formation occurs here. In contrast, the second The evaporator (70) continues to operate actively and only the second type of ice is produced. Even when only type 1 ice production is selected, the refrigerant remains throughout the same cycle. It is being circulated. This time, the drive element for the production of the second type of ice is driven by the control unit (K). (71) is stopped, so second type ice production continues even if the second evaporator (70) side continues to cool. It is not actually happening. However, since water transmission to the first evaporator (60) continues, the first Ice production continues actively. 15 In the ice release cycle, when ice formation is complete in the first evaporator (60), the hot fluid valve (50) opens and hot fluid at compressor (10) outlet through hot fluid pipe (80) This hot fluid is directed to the first evaporator (60) via the bypass pipe (90). It heats the evaporator (60) and causes the ice formed here to separate from the surface. Afterwards, 20 By proceeding through the same hot fluid connection pipe (120) to the second evaporator (70), this section is also passed through. It heats the system and prepares it for the next cooling cycle. Then the fluid is reheated. By reaching the evaporator return pipe (110), liquid collector (130) and compressor (10), the cycle It completes. Therefore, thanks to the ice machine (1), two different types of ice can be produced with 1 compressor, 1 condenser, 1 valve. The ability to produce them within the same machine, additional cooling cycles, and numerous additional flow control elements. This makes it possible without requiring any additional functions. Thus, two different ice production functions can be combined into a single system. The cooling system is brought together under a single structure, preventing unnecessary over-cooling of the system. This prevents the machine from becoming overly complex. As a result, the machine is simpler, more compact, and 30% more efficient. This can be achieved within an economical structure; production, assembly, maintenance, service and fault detection processes. A more favorable structure emerges in this respect. Furthermore, the cooling system, which has the capacity to feed two different evaporators, can only be used on one side. It is important that the system is designed to maintain stability even when production is selected. 35 This provides an advantage. On the unselected side, the refrigerant cycle is preserved, but the relevant water Actual ice production by deactivation of the transmission element (61) or the drive element (71) This prevents the need for additional valve assemblies, additional expansion elements, or independent auxiliary valves. Switching between different production modes according to user needs, without the need for additional structures. It is possible. In addition, studies in which only one ice production side is kept active 40 thanks to the fact that cooling capacity can be used more intensively on the active production side in their designs The production capacity for the relevant ice type can be increased. This improves both the operational reliability of the machine. It also increases efficiency in terms of operation. In addition, by maintaining the same cooling cycle, the actual production is only on the selected ice production side. Thanks to its maintenance, it is possible to use the existing cooling capacity more effectively on the active side. 5 is happening. The scope of protection of the invention is set out in the attached claims and is not necessarily detailed in this description. It cannot be limited to what has been described for illustrative purposes. Because a person who is an expert in the field can understand the main aspects of the invention. Without deviating from the theme, it can create similar structures in light of what has been described above. 10 It is clear. 11 REFERENCE NUMBERS GIVEN IN THE FIGURE 1 Ice Machine Compressor 11 Compressor Outlet Pipe 5 12 T Pipe Condenser 21 Condenser Inlet Tube 22 Condenser Outlet Tube Dryer 10 40 Capillary Tubes 50 Hot Fluid Valves 60 First Evaporator 61 Water Conduction Elements 70 Second Evaporator 15 71 Drive Elements 80 Hot Fluid Pipes 90 Bypass Pipes 100 Evaporator Inlet Tube 110 Evaporator Return Pipe 20 120 Connecting Pipes 130 Liquid Collectors 140 Compressor Return Pipe A Interface K Control Unit 25
