[0002] The water distributor is an important component in the snow making machine for separating and distributing water flow. It is usually located at the water inlet end of the snow making machine, responsible for distributing high-pressure water flow to each nozzle of the snow making machine, while ensuring the purity and stability of the water flow. Through the water distributor, the snow making machine can more effectively utilize water resources, improve snow making efficiency and quality.

[0003] A plurality of water distribution valves are installed on the water distributor. In order to prevent the water distribution valves from freezing when they are not fully open and no water flows, an electric heating wire or heating bag is usually used to heat them. However, in high-tide and ultra-low temperature environments, this heating method has a high failure rate, is easy to break and consumes more electricity. In addition, it can cause electric leakage due to moisture, which poses a safety hazard. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0019] The snowmaking machine antifreeze water distributor of this utility model embodiment is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, the snowmaking machine antifreeze water distributor of this utility model embodiment may include a water distributor main water pipe 13 and a water distributor air tank 12.

[0021] The main water pipe 13 of the distributor is equipped with a distributor plug 7 and an inlet elbow 8 at both ends, and multiple water distribution valves 2 and a long water inlet 4 are provided on the main water pipe 13 of the distributor.

[0022] It should be noted that the multiple water distribution valves 2 and the long water inlet 4 described in this embodiment are located between the water distributor plug 7 and the water inlet elbow 8. The outlet of the water distribution valve 2 is connected to the nozzle of the snowmaking machine. High-pressure water enters the interior of the main water pipe 13 of the water distributor through the water inlet elbow 8, and is evenly distributed to each nozzle of the snowmaking machine through the water distribution valve 2.

[0023] Furthermore, the main water pipe 13 of the distributor is equipped with a filter screen inside. The filter screen is responsible for filtering out impurities in the water. The filter screen has multiple small mesh holes. When water flows through, impurities will be intercepted on the mesh holes, thereby removing impurities from the water flow and effectively preventing impurities from entering the snowmaking system.

[0024] The water distributor air tank 12 is located outside the main water pipe 13 of the water distributor. Both ends of the water distributor air tank 12 are sealed. The water distributor air tank 12 is equipped with an air inlet pipe 9 and an air outlet pipe 5. An arc-shaped air passage 3 is formed between the air inlet pipe 9, the water distributor air tank 12 and the air outlet pipe 5. The water distributor valve 2 passes through the arc-shaped air passage 3 and is connected to the main water pipe 13 of the water distributor. The air inlet pipe 9 is connected to the exhaust pipe of the compressor, and the air outlet pipe 5 is connected to the air inlet of the snowmaking machine head.

[0025] It should be noted that the water distributor gas tank 12 has an arched pipe structure. The water distributor gas tank 12 is welded to the main water pipe 13 of the water distributor, and the water distributor gas tank 12 is perpendicular to the outlet of the water distributor valve 2. When the compressor works, the high-temperature gas generated enters the interior of the arc-shaped air passage 3 through the air inlet pipe 9 and is discharged through the air outlet pipe 5. Because the water distributor valve 2 passes through the arc-shaped air passage 3, the high-temperature gas can preheat and keep the water distributor valve 2 warm, effectively preventing the water distributor valve 2 from freezing.

[0026] Further, in order to keep the outlet pressure stable, a pressure reducing valve 1 is arranged on the main water pipe 13 of the water distributor, which can automatically adjust the water pressure inside the main water pipe 13 of the water distributor to ensure constant water pressure.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Fig. 1 A gas pressure gauge 11 is arranged on the gas tank 12 of the water distributor, which can detect the gas pressure inside the gas tank 12 of the water distributor to ensure that the gas pressure is within the normal range.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Fig. 2 A safety valve 6 is arranged on the gas outlet pipe 5, which can prevent the system from exploding or being damaged due to excessive internal pressure. When the pressure inside the gas outlet pipe 5 rises above the specified value, the safety valve 6 can automatically open to discharge part of the gas in the system to the atmosphere or outside the pipeline, so that the system pressure does not exceed the allowable value, thereby ensuring that the system does not have accidents due to excessive pressure.

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Fig. 2 A water pressure gauge 10 is arranged on the water inlet elbow 8, which can detect the water pressure and timely find and solve the problem of unstable water flow. For example, when the water pressure is too low, it may mean that the pipeline is blocked or leaking and needs to be repaired in time. And high water pressure can also cause damage to the system, so it needs to be monitored and controlled by the water pressure gauge 10.

[0030] Specifically, in the process of snow making, the high-pressure water pump delivers water to the inside of the water inlet elbow 8 and the main water pipe 13 of the water distributor, which is distributed to multiple nozzles through multiple water distribution valves 2. The nozzles atomize the water into tiny water droplets. After the tiny water droplets come into contact with cold air, they will quickly freeze into ice crystals in a low-temperature, low-humidity and windless environment, and then form snowflakes. At the same time, the high-temperature gas generated by the compressor when it is working enters the inside of the water distributor gas tank 12 through the air inlet pipe 9 and is discharged from the gas outlet pipe 5. The high-temperature gas flows through the arc-shaped air duct 3, which can preheat and insulate the water distribution valve, thereby effectively preventing the water distribution valve from freezing.

[0031] In summary, the anti-freezing dead water distributor of the snow making machine of the present application embodiment can preheat and insulate the water distribution valve by passing the high-temperature gas normally discharged by the compressor around the water distribution valve, thereby effectively preventing the freezing problem of the water distribution valve. At the same time, the device eliminates the exposed circuit and electrical components, and does not need to be driven by electricity, thereby reducing the failure rate, ensuring the stability of the performance and the safety of the operation, and prolonging the service life. In addition, the low-temperature water flowing through the inside of the water distribution valve can absorb and carry away the heat of the compressed gas, further reducing the temperature of the discharged gas, which is conducive to the formation of snowflakes and significantly improves the snow making capacity and the quality of the snow.
