Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of industrial ice making, in particular to a direct cooling block ice machine which uses water to alternately and quickly separate from an ice mold. Background Art

[0002] Existing direct cooling block ice machines usually use refrigerant to freeze water into ice through heat exchange during the ice making process. However, after the ice cubes are formed, how to quickly and completely remove the ice cubes from the ice mold has always been a difficult problem in ice making technology.

[0003] Traditional ice-deglazing methods often suffer from long deglazing times, easily damaged ice, and poor deglazing results, impacting ice-making efficiency and ice utilization. Furthermore, most existing ice molds use a single-channel method to transfer heat to the ice, breaking the connection between the ice and the mold to achieve the desired release. If the circulating water tank becomes dirty, this single-channel setup prevents the water from entering the pipes for heat transfer, resulting in an inability to melt the ice. This inability to release the ice from the mold reduces production efficiency and makes the ice more susceptible to breakage.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a direct cooling block ice machine that can quickly separate the ice mold by alternating water to solve the defects of the existing ice mold structure is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1-6 Now, a direct cooling block ice machine disclosed in the present invention is described in detail. The utility model is composed of five parts, such as Figure 1, including an inlet pipe 1, an aluminum partition 2, a condensation pipe 3, an aluminum plate 4 and an outlet pipe 5. Aluminum partitions 2 are installed between several aluminum plates 4. The inlet pipes 1 are arranged in pairs, one end of which is welded to the end of the aluminum plate 4. The outlet pipes 5 are arranged in pairs, one end of the inlet pipe 1 is inserted in the side wall, and several condensation pipes 3 are spirally arranged in the aluminum plate 4.

[0052] When the present invention is in use, the aluminum plate 4 and the aluminum partition 2 are spliced ​​together to form a number of rectangular grids inside, and then the circular tube 31 is inserted into a first slot 43 and all the second slots 45 ends, and the circular tubes 31 are connected by the end 32, and then joints are installed at the ends of the two circular tubes 31 respectively, and the joints are connected to the condenser water tank, and then the water pipe 13 is inserted into the remaining first slot 43 ends, and the drainage collection pipe 12 and the water inlet diverter pipe 14 are connected at both ends respectively. After the connection, the drainage collection pipe 12 is inserted into the outlet pipe 5, and the water inlet diverter pipe 14 is inserted into the water inlet main pipe 11. The water inlet main pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 5 are set in two groups, and two are set respectively, so that the water pipe 13 is divided into two groups, and water intake and drainage operations are performed through different water inlet main pipes 11 and water outlet pipes 5 respectively. When the cam 632 is in the state of being pressed down, the spring 634 is released, and the spring 635 is released, and the spring 636 is released, and the spring 637 is released, and the spring 638 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 631 is released, and the spring 632 is released, and the spring 633 is released, and the spring 634 is released, and the spring 637 is released, and the spring 638 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, and the spring 639 is released, After the ice cubes are fully pushed in, the elastic force of the driving spring 613 is converted into thrust, which completely presses the baffle 62 against the bottom of the aluminum plate 4, so that a forming space is formed between the aluminum plate 4, the baffle 62 and the aluminum partition 2. Water is poured into the forming space. At this time, the condensate flows through the condensation pipe 3 and the second slot 45, and absorbs the heat in the forming space through heat transfer, so that the water quickly condenses into ice. After the ice cubes are produced, normal temperature water flows into the water inlet pipe 1, and the normal temperature water enters each water pipe 13 along the water inlet diverter pipe 14 and then enters the first slot 43. Then, through the heat exchange between the normal temperature water and the ice cubes, the connection between the ice cubes and the aluminum plate 4 and the aluminum partition 2 is disconnected, and under the influence of the heat conduction effect, the connection between the ice cubes and the baffle 62 is also disconnected. After the ice cubes are demolded, the normal temperature water supply is stopped, and the baffle 62 is slowly pulled out, allowing the ice cubes to slide out layer by layer from between the aluminum plate 4 and the aluminum partition 2, completing the demolding operation. The circulation methods of the two sets of demolding water are as follows Figure 1 As shown, one group of water enters from the water inlet pipe 1 on the upper left side, flows through the aluminum plate 4, and then flows out from the water outlet pipe 5 on the lower right side. The other group of water flows in from the water inlet pipe 1 on the upper right side, flows through the aluminum plate 4, and then flows out from the water outlet pipe 5 on the lower left side. The arrangement of the two groups of water pipes 13 on the aluminum plate 4 is as shown. Figure 3 As shown, assuming that water is introduced from the upper left end, positions 1, 3, and 5 of the first slot 43 are occupied, and the left sides of positions 1, 3, and 5 are used for water inlet, while the right sides of positions 1, 3, and 5 are used for water outlet. Then, in the case of introducing demoulding water from the upper right side, the water pipe 13 occupies positions 2, 4, and 6, and the right sides of positions 2, 4, and 6 are used for water inlet, while the left sides of positions 2, 4, and 6 are used for water outlet. This arrangement ensures that when one set of water inlet pipes 1 and water outlet pipes 5 is blocked, the other set of water inlet pipes 1 and water outlet pipes 5 can still complete demoulding. When the two sets are running at the same time, there is a higher demoulding efficiency. Although this method is not circulating water, it can produce the same effect as circulating water, and the water body is less utilized, it is easier to cool the water body again, and then reuse it when demoulding the ice cubes, reducing energy consumption.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, Figure 2 The aluminum plate 4 includes a slot 41, a plate body 42, a first slot 43, a partition slot 44, a second slot 45 and a protrusion 46. A slot 41 is opened on the upper surface of the plate body 42, and a protrusion 46 is provided on the bottom surface of the plate body 42. The outlet pipe 5 is arranged on the left and right sides of the plate body 42. Several first slots 43 are opened in the plate body 42. The first slots 43 extend to the left and right end surfaces of the plate body 42. A part of the condensation pipe 3 and one end of the water inlet pipe 1 are welded to the end of the first slot 43. Several second slots 45 are opened in the plate body 42. Most of the condensation pipe 3 is provided at the end of the second slot 45. Several partition slots 44 are opened in the plate body 42. The partition slot 44 is arranged between the second slot 45 and the first slot 43. The slot 41 cooperates with the protrusion 46 to splice the two aluminum plates 4 together to form ice cubes of different lengths. The partition groove 44 is used to separate the second slot 45 from the first slot 43. Excess heat will flow away from between the partition grooves 44 to prevent the heat between the second slot 45 and the first slot 43 from affecting each other.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3The water inlet pipe 1 includes a main inlet pipe 11, a drainage collecting pipe 12, a water flow pipe 13, and an inlet diverter pipe 14. Several inlet diverter pipes 14 are inserted into the side wall of the main inlet pipe 11. One end of several water flow pipes 13 is inserted into the side wall of the inlet diverter pipe 14, and the other end of the water flow pipe 13 is installed in the first slot 43. The other ends of the water flow pipes 13 are inserted into the side wall of several drainage collecting pipes 12, and the bottom of the drainage collecting pipe 12 is inserted into the outlet pipe 5. The inlet diverter pipe 14 is provided to divert water and further divert it before reaching the water flow pipe 13. This can facilitate the separation of room temperature water, thereby increasing the contact area with ice cubes and accelerating the ice melting rate. The water after heat exchange is first collected in the drainage collecting pipe 12, and then collected again in the outlet pipe 5 before being discharged into the circulating water tank.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, Figure 4 The inlet main pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 5 have the same structure. A circulating water tank is connected to the inlet main pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 5. The outlet pipe 5 includes a flange 51, a socket 52, and a pipe body 53. The pipe body 53 has several sockets 52 on its sidewall. The bottom of the drainage collection pipe 12 is inserted into the sockets 52, and the flange 51 is installed at the end of the pipe body 53. The flange 51 is used for connecting pipes, and the sockets 52 are used for connecting to the drainage collection pipe 12 or the inlet water diversion pipe 14.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 The condensing pipe 3 includes a circular tube 31 and an end cap 32. One end of several circular tubes 31 is connected to a refrigerant pool. One circular tube 31 is inserted into a first slot 43, and the remaining circular tubes 31 are placed in a second slot 45. The end cap 32 is installed between two circular tubes 31. The end cap 32 is used to reverse the refrigerant flow, thus forming the condensing pipe 3 into a return pipe, improving the utilization rate of the refrigerant while increasing the contact area and improving the heat exchange efficiency.

A baffle 62 is placed on the top of the propulsion member 61, which rests on the bottom surface of the aluminum plates 4. Several limiting members 63 are mounted on the side walls of the connecting frame 64. The connecting frame 64 has a U-shaped structure, which not only facilitates the installation of the baffle 62 but also facilitates the sliding out of ice cubes.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, Figure 8The propulsion member 61 includes an inclined slot 611, a propulsion plate 612, and a drive spring 613. One end of the drive spring 613 is inserted into a circular hole at the bottom of the connecting frame 64. The propulsion plate 612 is mounted on the upper end of the drive spring 613. The side surface of the propulsion plate 612 is provided with an inclined slot 611. The inclined slot 611 is designed to facilitate the insertion of the baffle 62. The elastic force generated by the drive spring 613 can press the baffle 62 against the bottom of the aluminum plate 4.
