[0002] Standardized ice blocks are mainly used in the construction of ice building landscapes in large ice and snow theme parks. The higher the size accuracy of ice blocks required for ice building landscapes, the smaller the joints between ice blocks, which can reduce the erosion of ice building landscapes by weathering, extend the landscape exhibition time, and ensure the firmness and safety of ice buildings. Therefore, the size accuracy of ice blocks required for ice building landscapes needs to be guaranteed.

[0003] At present, the processing methods of ice blocks are generally: on-site processing with a handheld chain saw or processing with automatic cutting equipment. However, relying on manual processing of ice blocks has the problems of low efficiency, difficulty in ensuring processing accuracy, huge labor demand and high labor intensity. In addition, the existing automatic cutting equipment generally uses a cutting knife to cut the rough ice, and the cut ice blocks cannot guarantee that each surface is flat and smooth. Moreover, the cut waste is crushed ice, which cannot be reused, and the crushed ice needs to be cleaned, which increases the cost. Moreover, it is not possible to automatically level the surface of the rough ice, and then automatically cut the leveled ice blocks into small ice blocks. Summary of the invention

[0036] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a fully automatic processing method for obtaining ice blocks with high flatness, and the fully automatic processing method for obtaining ice blocks with high flatness comprises:

[0037] S1: The rough ice is conveyed along a first direction, and passes through a bottom milling area, a first side milling area, and a top milling area in sequence to obtain a four-sided flat ice block whose bottom surface, top surface, and two side surfaces are all milled into flat planes.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the rough ice passes through the bottom planing and milling area, the bottom surface of the rough ice is made to fit with the planing and milling cutter of the bottom planing and milling area by relying on the gravity of the rough ice itself, so that the bottom planing and milling cutter plans and mills the bottom surface of the rough ice, ensuring that the bottom surface of the rough ice after planing and milling is flat and smooth.

[0039] S2: The four-sided flat ice cube is conveyed along the second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the four-sided flat ice cube passes through the second side planing and milling area, and the second side planing and milling area plans and mills the other two sides to obtain a six-sided flat ice cube with all six sides planed into a flat plane.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bottom surface planing and milling area, the first side surface planing and milling area, the top surface planing and milling area and the second side surface planing and milling area are all provided with planing and milling cutters, and the rough ice is planed and milled by the planing and milling cutters.

[0041] In this embodiment, the height of the planing and milling cutter in the top planing and milling area is adjusted according to the height of the rough ice, so as to be applicable to rough ice of various sizes. The height of the planing and milling cutter in the top planing and milling area can be adjusted in the range of 300mm-500mm.

[0042] In this embodiment, the waste materials planed out from the bottom surface planing and milling area, the first side surface planing and milling area, the second side surface planing and milling area, and the top surface planing and milling area are all in powder form, and a recovery structure is provided to recover the powdered waste materials.

[0043] By planing and milling the six sides of the rough ice with a planer, not only can the six sides of the six-sided flat ice blocks be smooth and flat with good flatness and verticality, but the waste material is powdered waste snow and can be reused, reducing the labor and time for cleaning crushed ice, saving costs and improving production efficiency.

[0044] Optionally, the four-sided flat ice cubes are conveyed to the reversing platform along the first direction, and conveyed from the reversing platform along the second direction; the four-sided flat ice cubes that enter the reversing platform first are the preceding four-sided flat ice cubes, and the four-sided flat ice cubes that enter the reversing platform later are the succeeding four-sided flat ice cubes, and if the preceding four-sided flat ice cubes have not completely left the reversing platform, and the succeeding four-sided flat ice cubes reach the entrance of the reversing platform, the conveyance of the succeeding four-sided flat ice cubes is stopped, so as to prevent collision of ice cubes.

[0045] In this embodiment, the limit sensor is used to determine whether the preceding four-sided flat ice cube has completely left the reversing platform, and whether the subsequent flat ice cube has reached the entrance of the reversing platform.

[0046] S3: The six-sided flat ice blocks are continuously conveyed along the second direction and cut in the first cutting area to obtain a plurality of large ice blocks.

[0047] S4: Determine whether to continue cutting large ice blocks according to the size of the rough ice.

[0048] If yes, proceed to S5; if no, proceed to S6.

[0049] Specifically, judging whether it is necessary to continue cutting large ice blocks according to the size of the rough ice includes: judging whether the height of the rough ice is greater than a set height; if so, it is necessary to continue cutting large ice blocks; if not, it is not necessary to continue cutting large ice blocks.

[0050] In this embodiment, the height is set to 730mm. If the height of the rough ice is greater than 730mm, the rough ice of 1.6m×0.66m is cut into 8 ice blocks of 360mm×325mm×660mm; if the height of the rough ice is less than 730mm, it is cut into 4 ice blocks of 360mm×660mm×(300mm-400mm).

[0051] S5: conveying the plurality of large ice blocks in a third reverse direction, the third direction being perpendicular to the second direction, and passing through a second cutting area, wherein each large ice block is cut into two or more small ice blocks.

[0052] It can be understood that the third direction is parallel to the first direction. In this embodiment, the third direction is opposite to the first direction, which occupies a small area and can save space.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cutting directions of the first cutting zone and the second cutting zone are perpendicular. It can be understood that the cutting direction of the six-sided flat ice block by the first cutting zone is perpendicular to the cutting direction of the large ice block by the second cutting zone, so that each large ice block can be cut.

[0054] S6: The ice cutting is completed. The cut ice blocks are transported to the construction site by a forklift.

[0055] Optionally, multi-sensor data fusion technology and AI visual recognition technology are used to automatically sense and identify the posture of the hairy ice, so that the hairy ice can move in a correct posture.

[0056] This fully automatic processing method for obtaining high-flatness ice blocks uses a planer to first level the surface of the rough ice, and then cuts the leveled ice blocks into multiple ice blocks. The rough ice is fully and automatically processed into multiple ice blocks with smooth and flat surfaces and standard sizes, which can reduce construction safety hazards and improve masonry efficiency. The planer is used to plan and mill the rough ice surface, which can obtain a smoother surface than that processed by a cutting knife. The obtained ice blocks have high dimensional accuracy, good flatness, verticality and planeness, and reduce the joint seams. The overall construction quality of the ice building landscape is improved, which can reduce the erosion of the ice building landscape by weathering, extend the landscape exhibition time, and increase the income of the scenic spot. Moreover, the processing waste is powdered snow, not crushed ice, which can be reused, saving the labor and time of cleaning the crushed ice.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the fully automatic processing method for obtaining high-flatness ice blocks has the advantages of high processing accuracy and quality, high production process reliability, high production capacity, high degree of automation and intelligence, less waste in the production process and direct utilization.
