Description

Technical Field

A plurality of annular protrusions are arranged in sequence along the axial direction on the outer wall of the heat-conducting inner cylinder, and each annular protrusion is arranged in an annular manner along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the heat-conducting inner cylinder.

The cross section of the annular protrusion is arc-shaped. However, the annular protrusion of the existing ice machine still has a poor heat exchange effect on the refrigerant, which needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content
