Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of refrigeration, and particularly relates to a thickness and shape controllable ice surface rapid forming mold. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a typical landform structure in cold environments, ice surface deeply affects many aspects such as material transportation and personnel travel. In order to ensure the stable operation of vehicles and other transportation tools under ice surface conditions, strict environmental tests are usually carried out before leaving the factory. In the traditional test, water is once condensed into fixed ice surface in a low-temperature environment. Such ice making method has a long ice making period, and the ice surface thickness is single. If the ice surface is crushed by the tested vehicle, the environmental test cannot be carried out in a short time. In addition, this method cannot establish special ice surface landforms such as ice pits and ice blocks according to actual conditions, and it is difficult to meet the needs of vehicle environmental tests. SUMMARY

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the application provides a thickness and shape controllable ice surface rapid forming mold. The thickness of the ice surface is effectively controlled by changing the distance between the partitions. The partitions of different shapes are designed to effectively simulate three landforms of plane, ice pit and ice block. The ice surface is quickly demolded by adding electric heat tracing and super-hydrophobic coating in the mold. The application can realize the regulation of the thickness of the cavity, and then effectively adjust the thickness of the ice surface. The preparation of three landform units of plane, ice pit and ice block is realized, and the effect of rich ice surface types is achieved. The ice making time can be effectively saved, and the effect of rapid ice making is achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present application is further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0032] In order to overcome the problems of uncontrollable ice surface thickness, long ice making period and single ice surface morphology in environmental tests, the present application designs an ice making mold, effectively controls the ice surface thickness by changing the partition plate spacing, effectively simulates three kinds of landforms of plane, ice pit and ice bag by designing different shapes of partition plates, and realizes rapid ice surface demolding by adding electric heat tracing and super-hydrophobic coating in the mold.

[0033] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0034] The present application provides an ice surface rapid forming mold with controllable thickness and shape, which comprises a side plate, a partition plate, a bottom plate, a super-hydrophobic layer and a plug-in interface.

[0035] The side plate comprises a first side plate, a second side plate, a third side plate and a fourth side plate. The first side plate is parallel to the second side plate and is connected with the bottom plate. The surfaces of the first side plate and the second side plate are provided with equidistant grooves. The third side plate is parallel to the fourth side plate and is connected with the bottom plate. The outer sides of the third side plate and the fourth side plate are connected with the handle. The first side plate, the second side plate, the third side plate and the fourth side plate are provided with heating wires inside the bottom plate. The third side plate is provided with a plug-in interface at the bottom.

[0036] The partition plate includes a planar partition plate and a curved partition plate, the planar partition plate is a planar structure, an upper end is provided with a handle, and the handle penetrates the front and rear surfaces of the partition plate.

[0037] The super-hydrophobic layer material is PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane), which is coated on the inner surfaces of the first side plate, the second side plate, the third side plate and the bottom plate.

[0038] Embodiment:

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the present application designs an ice mold, which is composed of a first side plate 1, a second side plate 11, a third side plate 2, a fourth side plate 9, a side plate handle 4, a planar partition plate 5, a curved partition plate 12, a super-hydrophobic layer 10, a groove 3, a bottom plate 8, a partition plate handle 6 and a power socket 7.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 , the first side plate 1, the second side plate 11, the third side plate 2, the fourth side plate 9 and the bottom plate 8 are made of stainless steel material, the bottom plate 8 is connected with the first side plate 1, the second side plate 11, the third side plate 2 and the fourth side plate 9 to form a cavity structure with the upper part and the open side and the bottom part sealed. The first side plate 1 and the second side plate 11 are parallel and connected with the bottom plate 8. The outer side of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 11 is provided with a groove 3 every 10 mm, which is 10 mm wide. By adjusting the position of the planar partition plate, a cavity structure with different thicknesses is formed, which serves as a water-containing space with adjustable volume. This process is not limited to the number of planar partition plates 5, and the number of planar partition plates 5 can be determined according to the demand. Then the water is frozen into ice in a low-temperature environment to form an ice planar structure 16 with a thickness as shown in Figure 8 , the third side plate 2 and the fourth side plate 9 are parallel and connected with the side plate handle 4. The side plate handle 4 can be used as a gripping hand for carrying and transferring, effectively improving the carrying efficiency. The super-hydrophobic layer 10 is a PDMS film with a thickness of 2 mm, which reduces the adhesion of water molecules on the surface of the mold, thereby achieving the effect of rapid demolding.

[0041] As shown in Figure 3 , the planar partition plate 5 is inserted into the groove 3 to achieve the limiting effect, and the upper part is provided with a partition plate handle 6 to realize the lifting of the planar partition plate 5.

[0042] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the curved partition 12 has a hemispherical surface and is inserted into the groove 3 via a limiting structure. One side of the cavity on each side of the curved partition has a convex structure, and the other side has a concave structure. By adjusting the position of the curved partition 12 when inserted into the groove 3, cavity structures of different thicknesses can be formed. This process is not limited to the number of planar partitions 5; the number of curved partitions 12 inserted can be determined according to requirements. By injecting water into the above cavity structure and then freezing the water into ice in a low-temperature environment, cavities of different thicknesses can be formed. Figure 6 The ice pack structure 14 shown is Figure 7 The ice pit structure shown is 15.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, heating wires 13 are installed inside the first side plate 1, the second side plate 11, the third side plate 2, the fourth side plate 9, and the bottom plate 8. After the ice is frozen and formed in the mold, an external power supply is connected through the power socket 7 to start the heating wires, which accelerates the melting of the outer surface of the ice structure in the mold, effectively reducing the contact between the outer surface of the ice structure and the mold, and achieving the effect of rapid demolding.

[0044] With the above structure, in a room temperature environment, the flat partition 5 is inserted into the grooves of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 11, and the position of the partition is controlled by the limiting structure. The number and placement position of the flat partition 5 and the curved partition 12 can be set as needed. Water is injected into the mold cavity through the water inlet, and after being placed in a -10℃ environment for 2 hours, the mold is removed and placed in a room temperature environment. The power supply is connected through the power interface, the electric heating system is started, and after the ice surface melts, the flat partition 5 and the curved partition 12 are pulled out through the partition handle 6, and ice surfaces of different thicknesses and shapes are removed.
