Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ice-making equipment, and particularly relates to an evaporator for a flowing water ice maker and an ice-making equipment. Background Art

[0002] A flowing water ice-making equipment is an efficient and continuous ice-making equipment, which is widely used in places that require a large amount of ice, such as restaurants, supermarkets, bars, laboratories, etc. The flowing water ice-making equipment mainly includes a spraying component, a refrigerating component and a forming component. The refrigerating component includes a heat exchange component, and the forming component includes an ice-making plate. A plurality of grids are arranged on the ice-making plate. The spraying component includes a spraying member, which can spray water flow from above the ice-making plate. The water flow flows down from the outside of the notch of the grid, and the heat exchange component exchanges heat with the grid, so that the water flowing into the ice grid gradually forms ice cubes, thus completing ice-making. However, most of the existing flowing water ice-making equipment generally adopts the way of welding the heat exchange component to connect the heat exchange component and the ice-making plate. Therefore, a welding space needs to be left on the other side of the heat exchange component. Therefore, most of the existing flowing water ice-making equipment has a single-sided ice-making structure, that is, the ice-making plate usually has only one side, and evaporation heat exchange and ice formation can only be carried out from one side of the heat exchange component. In this way, not only are fewer ice cubes formed in the same time, but also the cold quantity on the other side of the heat exchange component is wasted, and the refrigeration efficiency level is not high. Therefore, the ice-making efficiency and refrigeration efficiency of the existing flowing water ice-making equipment are not high. Summary of the Invention

The heat exchange member can perform evaporation heat exchange for ice making and condensation heat exchange for ice removal. The number of the forming members is at least two, and the notch directions of the ice lattice grooves in the two forming members are opposite. The two forming members can perform ice making simultaneously on both sides, which can increase the number of ice cubes made per unit time. At the same time, since the heat exchange member is disposed between the two forming members instead of connecting the heat exchange member and the forming member by welding, the forming members can cover both sides of the heat exchange member to perform heat exchange simultaneously from both sides of the heat exchange member. When the two forming members perform heat exchange, they can make full use of the cold quantity on both sides of the heat exchange member to perform sufficient heat exchange, improving the heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the flowing water ice making machine evaporator and the ice making device of the present invention can perform efficient ice making and efficient refrigeration, with a large number of ice cubes made per unit time and can make full use of the cold quantity of the heat exchange member.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the orientation terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside that appear or will appear in the text of the present invention are only based on the accompanying drawings of the present invention, and they do not specifically limit the present invention.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present invention discloses a water-flow ice maker evaporator and an ice-making device, including a heat exchange member 1, a forming member 2 and a spraying member 3. The heat exchange member 1 is used for evaporation heat exchange for ice making and condensation heat exchange for ice removal. The forming member 2 is used for manufacturing ice cubes. The spraying member 3 is used for providing water flow. The heat exchange member 1 is connected to an external refrigeration system. In the refrigeration cycle, the heat exchange member 1 is an evaporator and can perform evaporation ice making. In the heating cycle, the heat exchange member 1 is a condenser and can perform heat release for ice removal. A plurality of ice lattice grooves 21 are provided in the forming member 2. Water flow freezes in the ice lattice, and the formed ice cubes are located in the ice lattice grooves 21. The spraying member 3 is arranged above the forming member 2. The spraying member 3 is connected to an external water source and can release water flow towards the forming member 2. The water flow flows into the forming member 2, and the heat exchange member 1 can exchange heat with the water flow in the ice lattice grooves 21 of the forming member 2, so that the water flow freezes in the ice lattice grooves 21.

[0039] To improve the ice-making efficiency and heat exchange efficiency, the number of the forming members 2 is at least two. The notch directions of the ice lattice grooves 21 in the two forming members 2 are opposite. The heat exchange member 1 is arranged between the two forming members 2, so as to make ice in the two forming members 2. Moreover, the cold quantities on both sides of the heat exchange member 1 can be respectively released in the two forming members 2, avoiding waste of cold quantity and improving the utilization efficiency of cold quantity.

[0040] In order to match the ice production and ensure the ice-making speed, the positions of the water spray openings 32 of the spray member 3 correspond to the two forming members 2 respectively. In one embodiment, two rows of water spray openings 32 can be provided so that each row of water spray openings 32 can spray each forming member 2, and the water flowing out of the spray member 3 can flow into the inner surface of the ice tray groove 21. The water flow of the traditional running water ice maker flows along the outer edge of the ice tray. Part of the water flow can enter the inner side of the ice tray along the outer edge of the ice tray, and then ice blocks are gradually formed on the inner side of the ice tray. Different from the traditional running water ice maker, in the embodiment of the present invention, the water flowing out of the spray member 3 can directly enter the inner surface of the ice tray groove 21 instead of entering from the outer edge of the ice tray groove 21. Therefore, during heat exchange, on the one hand, the water flow is closer to the heat exchange member 1, reducing the heat transfer link. The shorter the heat transfer path, the smaller the thermal resistance, and the higher the heat transfer efficiency; on the other hand, the water flow area entering the inner side of the ice tray groove 21 is larger than the water flow area along the outer edge of the traditional ice tray, so the heat exchange area is larger, making the heat exchange more sufficient and also improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the embodiment of the present invention are as follows:

[0042] The running water ice maker evaporator and ice-making equipment of the embodiment of the present invention are provided with a heat exchange member 1, a forming member 2 and a spray member 3. The heat exchange member 1 can perform evaporation heat exchange for ice making and condensation heat exchange for ice removal. The number of the forming members 2 is at least two, and the notch directions of the ice tray grooves 21 in the two forming members 2 are opposite. The two forming members 2 can make ice simultaneously on both sides, which can increase the number of ice blocks made per unit time. At the same time, since the heat exchange member 1 is arranged between the two forming members 2 instead of connecting the heat exchange member 1 and the forming member 2 by welding, the forming member 2 can cover both sides of the heat exchange member 1 to perform heat exchange simultaneously from both sides of the heat exchange member 1. When the two forming members 2 perform heat exchange, they can make full use of the cold quantity on both sides of the heat exchange member 1 to perform sufficient heat exchange, improving the heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the running water ice maker evaporator and ice-making equipment of the present invention can make ice and refrigerate efficiently, with a large number of ice blocks made per unit time and the cold quantity of the heat exchange member 1 being fully utilized.

[0043] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the forming member 2 includes a plate body 22, and the plate body 22 can directly contact the heat exchange member 1. Among them, a plurality of partition plates 23 are provided on the plate body 22. The plurality of partition plates 23 protrude from the surface of the plate body 22 and extend from top to bottom. A water flow channel 24 is formed between adjacent partition plates 23, and water flow can flow into the water flow channel 24. The partition plates 23 can separate the water flow, and at the same time, the formed ice blocks can be vertically separated by the partition plates 23.

[0044] In order to match the ice production and ensure the ice-making speed, the number of the spraying members 3 is at least two. The two spraying members 3 respectively correspond to the two forming members 2. Each spraying member 3 can independently provide water flow for each forming member 2, and the water flowing out of the spraying member 3 can flow into the inner surface of the ice tray groove 21.

[0045] In addition, a plurality of partition blocks 25 are further arranged on the plate body 22. In the same water flow channel 24, the plurality of partition blocks 25 are arranged at intervals. The partition blocks 25 protrude from the surface of the plate body 22. The protruding height of the partition blocks 25 is lower than the protruding height of the partition plates 23. A water flow gap 28 is arranged between the two ends of the partition blocks 25 and the partition plates 23. In the embodiment of the present invention, the length direction of the partition blocks 25 is perpendicular to the length direction of the partition plates 23. When the water flow flows from top to bottom in the water flow channel 24, it will contact the partition blocks 25. The partition blocks 25 can buffer the water flow, so as to prolong the residence time of the water flow in the water flow channel 24, thereby prolonging the heat exchange time and improving the heat exchange efficiency. The water flow gap 28 ensures the flow rate of the water flow flowing downward. In addition, the partition blocks 25 can horizontally partition the formed ice cubes, and cooperate with the partition plates 23 to form ice cubes with a rectangular bottom contour.

[0046] Since both the partition plates 23 and the partition blocks 25 protrude from the surface of the plate body 22, the partition plates 23 and the partition blocks 25 enclose the ice tray groove 21. Therefore, the plate body 22 is the bottom of the ice tray groove 21, and the plate body 22 is the component closest to the heat exchange member 1. Therefore, during ice making, the temperature of the plate body 22 is the lowest.

[0047] Further, the partition block 25 includes an outer side surface 251 and connecting surfaces 252 arranged on the upper and lower sides of the outer side surface 251. The outer side surface 251 is the surface of the partition block 25 away from the plate body 22. The outer side surface 251 is away from the plate body 22 and is an arc surface or an inclined surface. The connecting surfaces 252 are connected between the outer side surface 251 and the surface of the plate body 22. An inclined included angle is formed between the connecting surfaces 252 and the surface of the plate body 22, so as to facilitate the water flow to pass over the partition block 25 from top to bottom. The outer side surface 251 is away from the plate body 22 and is an arc surface or an inclined surface. On the one hand, it can reduce the impact of the water flow on the outer side surface 251, and on the other hand, it is convenient to avoid the ice removal resistance to the ice cubes during subsequent ice removal.

[0048] See Figure 4, the evaporator of the flowing water ice maker further includes a spray seat 4, the spray seat 4 is arranged on the top of the forming member 2, and outer side plates 41 are arranged on both sides of the spray seat 4. Preferably, the outer side plates 41 are respectively arranged on both sides where the two forming members 2 are located. The outer side plates 41 enclose a fixing groove 42, and the fixing groove 42 can fix and accommodate the spray member 3. Inside the fixing groove 42, the fixing groove 42 at least includes two fixing parts 421 which correspond to the positions of the two spray members 3 respectively, and the spray member 3 can be fixed inside the fixing parts 421. Further, a fixing bayonet 422 is arranged at the end of the fixing groove 42, and the fixing bayonet 422 is arc-shaped and can accommodate the spray member 3 to be snapped in. During installation, the spray member 3 can be snapped into the fixing bayonet 422, so as to fix both ends of the spray member 3.

[0049] In order to prevent the spray member 3 from rotating, a positioning post 423 is arranged inside the fixing groove 42, and a positioning through hole 31 is arranged at the bottom of the spray member 3. The positioning post 423 can be inserted into the positioning through hole 31. Under the limitation of the positioning post 423, the spray member 3 will not rotate, thus ensuring the spraying angle of the water flow.

[0050] See Figure 5 , a water spray port 32 is arranged at the lower part of the spray member 3, and the water spray port 32 faces the flowing water channel 24 vertically or obliquely, so as to supply water to the forming member 2.

[0051] See Figure 6 , a water outlet 43 is arranged at the bottom of the spray seat 4, and the water outlet 43 is located above the two forming members 2. The water sprayed from the spray member 3 can enter the water outlet 43 and flow out from the water outlet 43 to the forming member 2. Specifically, the water outlet 43 is arranged in the middle of the bottom side of the spray seat 4, and the water outlet 43 is connected with the plate member main body 22. The water outlet 43 can be communicated with the flowing water channel 24. Since the water outlet 43 is connected with the plate member main body 22, and since the plate member main body 22 is the bottom of the ice grid groove 21, during ice making, the temperature of the plate member main body 22 is the lowest. Therefore, the water flow flowing into the plate member main body 22 from the water outlet 43 directly flows to the inner surface of the ice grid groove 21. Compared with the way that the water flow of the traditional flowing water ice maker flows along the outer edge (i.e., the outside) of the ice grid, the heat exchange temperature is lower, the heat exchange area is larger, so the heat exchange is more sufficient and the heat exchange efficiency is higher.

[0052] To ensure that water flow can enter the surface of the plate body 22, the spraying seat 4 further includes a water guiding inclined surface 44. The number of the water guiding inclined surfaces 44 is at least two and are respectively located above the two forming members 2. The upper part of the water guiding inclined surface 44 is connected to the bottom of the outer side plate 41. The water outlet 43 is arranged at the bottom of the water guiding inclined surface 44. The water guiding inclined surface 44 inclines from the outer side plate 41 towards the inner side of the spraying seat 4 from top to bottom. In this way, the water flow sprayed from the water spraying port 32 will fall on the water guiding inclined surface 44. Since the water guiding inclined surface 44 inclines from the outer side plate 41 towards the inner side of the spraying seat 4 from top to bottom, the water flow will be concentrated to the inner side of the spraying seat 4, that is, the position where the water outlet 43 is located, and finally discharged from the water outlet 43 onto the plate body.

[0053] In addition, referring to Figure 4 , a reinforcing plate 45 is arranged in the middle of the spraying seat 4. The two sides of the reinforcing plate 45 are respectively connected to the two water guiding inclined surfaces 44. The reinforcing plate 45 can improve the strength of the water guiding inclined surface 44. The bottom of the water guiding inclined surface 44 and the bottom of the reinforcing plate 45 enclose the water outlet 43. The water outlet 43 is located on one side close to the plate body 22 at the top of the water flow channel 24 to ensure that the water flow can directly flow to the surface of the plate body 22.

[0054] Referring to Figure 4 , to fix the spraying seat 4 and the forming member 2, a limiting plate 46 is further arranged at the bottom of the spraying seat 4. The number of the limiting plates 46 is at least two and protrudes from the bottom of the spraying seat 4. The two limiting plates 46 are respectively inserted into the water flow channels 24 of the two forming members 2. The two limiting plates 46 can respectively abut against the surfaces of the plate bodies 22 of the two forming members 2. The plate bodies 22 of the two forming members 2 are located between the two limiting plates 46. The limiting plate 46 can limit the two forming members 2 in the direction perpendicular to the plate body 22, and at the same time strengthen the connection between the spraying seat 4 and the forming member 2.

[0055] Furthermore, a supporting plate 47 is further arranged at the bottom of the spraying seat 4. The supporting plate 47 protrudes from the bottom of the spraying seat 4. The supporting plate 47 is inserted between the surfaces of the plate bodies 22 of the two forming members 2. The plane direction of the supporting plate 47 is perpendicular to the plane direction of the limiting plate 46. The supporting plate 47 can provide internal support for the two forming members 2 to prevent the forming members 2 from collapsing after being pressed from the outside, so as to protect the internal heat exchange member 1.

[0056] Referring to Figure 7, the evaporator of the flowing water ice maker further includes a pressing plate seat 6. The number of the pressing plate seats 6 is two and they are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the forming member 2. The pressing plate seat 6 can fix the left and right sides of the forming member 2 and strengthen the connection between the spraying seat 4 and the forming member 2 at the same time. The pressing plate seat 6 includes a first pressing plate 61 and a second pressing plate 62. The two forming members 2 are located between the first pressing plate 61 and the second pressing plate 62. The first pressing plate 61 and the second pressing plate 62 can clamp and fix the two forming members 2.

[0057] Specifically, the first pressing plate 61 includes a first fixing hole 611 and a second fixing hole 612. First through holes 26 are provided on both the left and right sides of the forming member 2. The positions of the first through holes 26 correspond to those of the first fixing holes 611. A second through hole 621 is provided on the second pressing plate 62. The position of the second through hole 621 corresponds to that of the second fixing hole 612. During installation and fixation, fasteners such as screws can be used to fix the first through hole 26 and the first fixing hole 611 to each other and fix the second through hole 621 and the second fixing hole 612 to each other. After the first through hole 26 and the first fixing hole 611 are fixed to each other, the first pressing plate 61 can be connected and fixed to the forming member 2. After the second through hole 621 and the second fixing hole 612 are fixed to each other, the first pressing plate 61 can be connected and fixed to the second pressing plate 62.

[0058] To connect the spraying seat 4 and the second pressing plate 62, an upper fixing protrusion 622 and an upper fixing hole 623 are provided on the top of the second pressing plate 62. The upper fixing protrusion 622 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the second pressing plate 62. The evaporator of the flowing water ice maker further includes a fixing convex plate 5. The fixing convex plate 5 protrudes from the end of the spraying seat 4. An upper connecting hole 51 and an upper fixing through hole 52 are provided on the fixing convex plate 5. During installation, the upper fixing protrusion 622 can be inserted into the upper connecting hole 51 to form a fixing limit. The position of the upper fixing through hole 52 corresponds to that of the upper fixing hole 623. Fasteners such as screws can be used to fix the upper fixing through hole 52 and the upper fixing hole 623 to each other, thereby connecting the spraying seat 4 and the second pressing plate 62.

[0059] Further, the evaporator of the flowing water ice maker further includes a base 7, and the base 7 is used to connect the pressing plate seat 6 and the forming member 2. In order to connect the forming member 2, a connecting strip 71 is provided in the middle of the base 7, and a positioning convex block 711 is provided on the connecting strip 71. The positioning convex block 711 protrudes upward from the surface of the connecting strip 71. An installation hole 27 is provided at the bottom of the forming member 2, and the position of the installation hole 27 corresponds to the position of the positioning convex block 711. During installation, the positioning convex block 711 can be inserted into the installation hole 27 to limit the forming member 2.

[0060] Further, the base 7 further includes connecting support strips 72, and the connecting support strips 72 extend outward from both sides of the connecting strip 71, that is, extend in the direction where the forming member 2 is located. Plug-in convex blocks 721 are provided on the connecting support strips 72. The plug-in convex blocks 721 protrude upward from the surface of the connecting support strips 72. The cross-section of the partition plate 23 is "V"-shaped. Therefore, in the horizontal direction, a plug-in gap 231 is provided inside the partition plate 23, and the plug-in convex blocks 721 can be inserted into the plug-in gap 231. The plug-in convex blocks 721 form a limit on the forming member 2 in the horizontal direction.

[0061] See Figure 8 , in order to connect the pressing plate seat 6, side connecting plates 73 are provided at both ends of the connecting strip 71, that is, the side connecting plates 73 are provided at the position where the pressing plate seat 6 is located. A lower connecting hole 731 and a lower fixing through hole 732 are provided on the side connecting plate 73. A lower fixing convex block 624 and a lower fixing hole 625 are provided at the bottom of the second pressing plate 62. The lower fixing convex block 624 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the second pressing plate 62. During installation, the lower fixing convex block 624 can be inserted into the lower connecting hole 731 to form positioning. The position of the lower fixing through hole 732 corresponds to the position of the lower fixing hole 625. By using fasteners such as screws, the lower fixing through hole 732 and the lower fixing hole 625 can be fixed to each other, so that the base 7 and the pressing plate seat 6 are connected to each other.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, the forming member 2 is connected to the spraying seat 4, the base 7 and the pressing plate seat 6 through structural limits and fasteners, so that the forming members 2 on both sides of the heat exchange member 1 can be closely attached to the heat exchange member 1 to form a firm connection, thereby avoiding connecting the heat exchange member 1 and the forming member 2 by welding. Therefore, the forming members 2 can be provided on both sides of the heat exchange member 1.

[0063] Further, the heat exchange member 1 is disposed around the two forming members 2. Heat exchange planes 11 are respectively provided on two opposite sides in the longitudinal section of the heat exchange member 1. The heat exchange planes 11 are flat surfaces. Under the action of structural limitation and fastener connection between the forming member 2, the spray seat 4, the base 7 and the pressing plate seat 6, the two heat exchange planes 11 can respectively abut against one side of the two forming members 2 away from the ice lattice groove 21, so as to provide good heat transfer contact for the forming member 2.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the forming member 2 is made of stainless steel material, which can achieve no electroplating layer, improve the acid resistance of the forming member 2, avoid discoloration and peeling after long-term use, and avoid potential food health hazards.

[0065] The embodiment of the present invention also discloses an ice-making device, including the flowing water ice-making machine evaporator as described above. The flowing water ice-making machine evaporator includes a heat exchange member 1, a forming member 2 and a spraying member 3. The heat exchange member 1 can perform evaporation heat exchange for ice-making and condensation heat exchange for ice-removing. The number of the forming members 2 is at least two. The notch directions of the ice lattice grooves 21 in the two forming members 2 are opposite. The two forming members 2 can make ice simultaneously on both sides, which can increase the number of ice cubes made per unit time. At the same time, since the heat exchange member 1 is disposed between the two forming members 2 instead of connecting the heat exchange member 1 and the forming member 2 by welding, the forming member 2 can cover both sides of the heat exchange member 1 to perform heat exchange simultaneously from both sides of the heat exchange member 1. When the two forming members 2 perform heat exchange, they can make full use of the cold energy on both sides of the heat exchange member 1 for sufficient heat exchange, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Therefore, the ice-making device of the present invention can perform efficient ice-making and efficient refrigeration, with a large number of ice cubes made per unit time and can make full use of the cold energy of the heat exchange member 1.

[0066] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
