[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making, in particular to a columnar ice making combined mold and an ice making chamber. Background Art

[0002] At present, the common forms of commercial or industrial ice making are flake ice, tubular ice, small block ice and large block ice. Among them, flake ice, tubular ice and small block ice (the maximum side length is about 30 mm) are generally made by small ice making machines; large block ice is rectangular columnar, the minimum side length is about 150 mm - 250 mm, and the maximum side length is about 400 mm - 800 mm, which is generally made by industrial ice making equipment. Due to the relatively thick thickness of large block ice, the freezing cycle of each batch of ice cubes is relatively long.

[0003] The existing ice making molds for large block ice are all independent cylindrical structures. During the ice making process, it is necessary to manually carry each ice making mold filled with ice making water to the ice making chamber and place them in sequence. After freezing into ice, they are carried out in sequence again. The whole process consumes a lot of manpower and has low efficiency. At the same time, the number of ice making molds placed manually is limited, and the space of the ice making chamber cannot be effectively utilized. Summary of the Utility Model

[0038] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in this embodiment only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present utility model. Therefore, only the components related to the present utility model are shown in the diagrams, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components during actual implementation.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, this embodiment provides a columnar ice-making combined mold, including:

[0041] Ice-making mold 1, the ice-making mold 1 is a hollow columnar structure, and the wall thickness of the mold bottom plate is greater than that of the side wall. The bottom of the ice-making mold 1 is coaxially connected to the mold base 2. The mold base includes an upper cylinder and a lower cylinder connected coaxially, and the lower cylinder expands outward relative to the upper cylinder to form a tenon structure;

[0042] It also includes a mold chassis 3. The mold chassis 3 is a cuboid structure. The bottom surface of the mold chassis 3 has two forklift holes 4, and the top surface has a number of parallel long strip-shaped slots 6. The slot 6 has a convex-shaped slot with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part. The mold base is pushed into the slot 6 along one end of the slot 6, and the tenon structure and the convex-shaped slot are engaged with each other. The inner dimension of the convex-shaped slot is slightly larger than the outer dimension of the mold base 2, so that the mold base 2 can be easily inserted into the slot 6, but there is not much lateral movement space.

[0043] Further, the cross-sectional shape of the ice-making mold 1 can be a circle 101, a square 102 or a rectangle 103. The diameter or the minimum side length of the cross-section is about 60 mm to 100 mm, and the height of the ice-making mold 1 is about 400 mm to 1000 mm. The mold chassis 3 is a cuboid structure, with a length of about 800 mm to 1200 mm, a width of about 600 mm to 1200 mm, and a height of about 100 mm to 200 mm.

[0044] Further, the ice-making mold 1 and the mold base 2 are connected by welding or threaded connection. When the mold base is made of metal material, welding connection is preferably used. When the mold base is made of non-metal material, threaded connection is preferably used. To ensure the connection strength, the wall thickness of the material of the bottom plate of the ice-making mold 1 is greater than that of the side wall.

[0045] Further, the cross-sectional dimension of the upper cylinder is smaller than that of the lower cylinder and the ice-making mold, that is, the upper cylinder is recessed towards the axis relative to the lower cylinder and the ice-making mold to form an annular recess, so as to form effective limits on both the upper and lower sides of the upper cylinder, preventing the mold base from moving up and down in the slot 6.

[0046] Further, there are chamfers 7 at the two edge sides of the top opening of the slot 6. There is a stop block 5 at each end of each long strip-shaped slot 6. After the mold base 2 is inserted into the long strip-shaped slot 6, the stop block 5 can block the mold base 2.

[0047] When making ice, several ice-making molds 1 with the same shape are inserted into the long strip-shaped slots 6 of the mold chassis 3 by using the tenon structure of the mold base 2. The ice-making molds 1 are close to each other. The stop blocks 5 at both ends of the long strip-shaped slots 6 respectively limit the ice-making molds 1 from disengaging from the long strip-shaped slots 6, so as to fix all the ice-making molds 1.

[0048] After a mold base 2 is installed and fixed with an ice-making mold 1, ice-making water is injected into each ice-making mold 1, and the water injection volume should not exceed 90% of the internal volume of the ice-making mold 1. After all the ice-making molds are filled with water, use a forklift or other handling tools to move the mold base 3 together with the ice-making molds 1 fixed thereon to a low-temperature ice-making room or a low-temperature ice-making water tank and let it stand still. The diameter or the minimum side length of the ice-making mold 1 of the present utility model is relatively small, and the ice-making molds 1 are neatly arranged on the mold chassis 3 by using long strip-shaped slots 6, and a gap of 5 mm to 50 mm is formed between the ice-making molds 1, so that the low-temperature medium can efficiently exchange heat with each ice-making mold 1, effectively shortening the freezing time of the ice cubes.

[0049] After the ice cubes are frozen, still use a forklift or other handling tools to move the mold chassis 3 together with the ice-making molds 1 fixed thereon to the ice melting and demolding room to complete the demolding process of the ice-making molds 1. When demolding the ice-making molds, it is not necessary to remove each ice-making mold 1 on the mold chassis 3 one by one. Appropriate tooling can be used to realize the one-time action and all demolding of the ice-making molds on the entire mold chassis 3.

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] Based on the columnar ice-making combined mold in the above Embodiment 1, the present embodiment provides an ice-making chamber, as Figure 7 shown, the ice-making chamber 10 is provided with an ice-making shelf 8, the ice-making shelf 8 is provided with multiple layers of pallets, and the pallets are used to place the columnar ice-making combined mold described in Embodiment 1, and the ice-making molds 1 are stacked in multiple layers, so as to effectively utilize the space of the ice-making chamber. The ice-making chamber is a heat-insulating chamber structure, which can effectively isolate the heat transfer between the inside and outside of the chamber and reduce the heat transfer load of the chamber.

[0052] The ice-making mold 1 filled with ice-making water together with the mold chassis 3 is transferred to the ice-making chamber 10 and placed on the pallets of the ice-making shelf 8 in a certain order and left still. The low-temperature air in the ice-making chamber 10 exchanges heat with the ice-making mold 1 and the water inside it under the action of the blower of the air cooler. After about 6 to 10 hours, the water inside the ice-making mold 1 is frozen into solid ice. The ice-making mold 1 that has been frozen together with the mold chassis 3 is transferred to the ice melting and demolding room. Under the action of the higher temperature in the ice melting and demolding room, the solid ice on the surface layer close to the inner wall of the ice-making mold 1 is slightly melted. At this time, the bottom of the ice-making mold 1 is lifted, and the columnar ice inside the ice-making mold 1 can be taken out.

[0053] In summary, the present utility model provides a columnar ice-making combined mold and an ice-making chamber. The columnar ice-making combined mold includes an ice-making mold in the shape of a hollow column. The bottom of the ice-making mold is coaxially connected to a mold base. The mold base includes an upper column body and a lower column body that are coaxially connected. The lower column body expands outward relative to the upper column body to form a tenon structure. The bottom surface of the mold chassis has two forklift holes, and the top surface has a plurality of long strip-shaped card slots arranged in parallel. The card slots have a convex-shaped slot hole that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The mold base is pushed into the card slot along one end of the card slot, and the tenon structure is engaged with the convex-shaped slot hole, thereby fixing a plurality of ice-making molds to the mold base, facilitating batch operation and improving ice-making efficiency. At the same time, the present utility model also provides an ice-making chamber. The ice-making chamber is provided with an ice-making shelf. The ice-making shelf is provided with multiple layers of trays. The trays are used to place the columnar ice-making combined mold, thereby stacking the ice-making molds in multiple layers and realizing the effective utilization of the space in the ice-making chamber.
