[0041] When one of the four ice modules, the first ice module 31, the second ice module 30, the third ice module 29 and the fourth ice module 28, is de-iced and condensed, the liquid refrigerant produced is used for refrigeration by the other three ice modules;

[0042] The controller 17 is provided with a control touch screen for easy operation and input of control instructions;

[0043] The pneumatic solenoid valve 5 is respectively connected to the air inlet of the cylinder 15, the No. 1 ice mold door switch, the No. 2 ice mold door switch, the No. 3 ice mold door switch, the No. 4 ice mold door switch, the left and right running switch of the de-icing and water injection vehicle, the up and down running switch of the front end of the de-icing plate, the up and down running switch of the rear end of the de-icing plate, the No. 1 ice mold sword groove conversion switch, the No. 2 ice mold sword groove conversion switch, the No. 3 ice mold sword groove conversion switch, and the No. 4 ice mold sword groove conversion switch through the pneumatic pipeline;

[0046] The present invention changes the traditional concept of electric control and refrigeration cycle. Under the control of PLC controller 17, a reversing four-way valve 13 is provided for each ice module group to change the direction of refrigerant movement. When the reversing four-way valve 13 is closed, the ice module group is an evaporator. When the reversing four-way valve 13 is opened, the ice module group is a condenser.

[0047] According to the system requirements, the pneumatic ice and water injection vehicle 20 is operated sequentially or non-sequentially between four or fewer ice modules.

[0048] The pneumatic ice receiving and water injection truck 20 operates in the first stage (starting stage), closes the lower door of the No. 1 ice module 31, and the low-temperature water storage tank 10 is filled with 2-5℃ cold water. The ice-making water circulation pump 8 is shut down for 1 minute. When only one ice module is refrigerating, the refrigeration unit 19 can adjust the electronic expansion valve 205 in the 50% electronic expansion valve distribution panel 2 to open, and the ice module refrigeration reaches below -10℃. The first water injection of the No. 1 ice module 31, the four water injection electric ball valves 24 are opened for 8S and closed (about 1L of water), and the ice module continues to refrigerate -11℃. The second water injection is carried out for 480S after an interval of 1min from the first water injection. After the second water injection, the next ice module starts to refrigerate, and the water addition interval is 27min after the second water addition of the previous ice module. According to the above operation requirements, after the No. 4 ice module 28 is fully filled with water, the starting stage ends;

[0049] 2) The second stage of operation of the ice receiving and water injection vehicle (normal production stage), after the second water injection of ice module group 31 is completed, the heating and deicing program is entered after the cumulative cooling time of 125 minutes, and the deicing alarm light 16 is on. The ice receiving and water injection vehicle is placed below the ice module group 31, the brake solenoid 1 is turned on, the reversing four-way valve 13 at the lower end of the ice module group 31 is turned on, and the ice module heating reversing valve 12 is closed (the high pressure is automatically adjusted to be less than 19B), and the two swords of the ice module group 31 are turned on (closed for 3-5 minutes according to the season), the refrigeration machine can be adjusted to 100%, and the electronic expansion valve 205 at the lower end of the ice module group that is not deicing is opened. The four ice blocks of the ice module group 31 are all detached, triggering the sensor, and the ice receiving plate is angled down outside the ice discharger. The following working state executes the content of item 3 once, and the normal production stage is carried out in an infinite automatic cycle.

[0050] 3) The ice receiving and water injection truck operates in three stages (normal ice collecting and refrigerant collection shutdown stage). When a certain ice module is filled with water, it is the boundary. The stop button is turned on. From then on, the ice module starts to enter the normal ice collecting and refrigerant collection shutdown stage. The No. 1 ice module 31 starts to perform the project refrigeration accumulation until the ice receiving plate drops at an angle and ends outside the ice discharge machine. The No. 1 ice module 31 is the same as the No. 2 ice module 30. The difference is that when the No. 2 ice module 30 is detached, the No. 1 ice module 31 opens the door for refrigeration without ice, and the No. 3 ice module 29 is the same as ice module No. 1 31, except that when ice module No. 3 29 is defrosting, ice module No. 2 30 and ice module No. 1 31 have no ice and open the door for refrigeration; ice module No. 4 28 is the same as ice module No. 1 31, except that when ice module No. 4 28 is defrosting, other ice modules have no ice and open the door for refrigeration; when all four ice modules are defrosted, the refrigeration unit enters the refrigerant collection operation state; when the suction pressure reaches the shutdown pressure, the refrigeration system shuts down, and the normal ice and refrigerant collection shutdown stage ends.

[0051] The PLC controller 17 controls the switch of the pneumatic solenoid valve 5, controls the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder 15, cooperates with the brake electromagnet 1 to accurately control the water injection pipe to align with the water injection port position, adjusts the valve opening at both ends of the cylinder, and controls the running speed of the piston rod of the cylinder 15. The error of aligning the center line of any one of the four ice mold groups is less than 2mm, which can effectively prevent shaking;

[0052] The ice mold heating reversing valve 12 is under the control of the PLC system. When an ice mold group is deicing, the ice mold heating reversing valve 12 is closed. When the deicing exhaust pressure is higher than 19B (the solenoid valve is closed when it is lower than 16B), the ice mold heating reversing valve 12 is opened when the four ice mold groups are not deicing.

[0053] The low temperature water storage tank 10 is under the control of the PLC system. The water temperature is controlled at 2-5°C before entering the quantitative water storage tank. The water level is controlled by the automatic water float. The water level sensor alarms for high and low water levels, stopping the ice maker. The effective volume of the water storage tank is equal to twice the volume of the quantitative water storage tank.

[0054] The water tank refrigeration gas distribution panel 7 is controlled by the PLC system, and can have refrigerant visualization, refrigerant filtration, solenoid valve 73 switch to control the flow of refrigerant, thermal expansion valve 74 opening automatic control, evaporation pressure regulating valve 75 to adjust the evaporation pressure to prevent the plate heat exchanger from freezing;

[0055] Four sets of electronic expansion valve gas distribution panels 2, each controlling one ice module, under the control of PLC program and the execution of PID system, can have two-way visualization of refrigerant, refrigerant filtration, one-way refrigerant flow for heating, solenoid valve A204 switches refrigerant flow, electronic expansion valve 205 opening range 1-480 steps, 4-stage + 3-state working mode for cooling;
