[0010] The flow channel type tube ice evaporator is wrapped around the corresponding ice making tube through the circulating flow channel, improves the efficiency of cold and heat exchange, and further improves the ice making efficiency.

[0011] Further, the two adjacent flow channels are connected by a communication channel.

[0012] The adjacent flow channels are connected through the communication channel, so that the refrigerant can flow.

[0013] Further, the initial flow channel spirally rises from bottom to top, and then the connected flow channels spirally downward, and the plurality of flow channels are staggered in sequence.

[0014] The plurality of flow channels are staggered in sequence, so that the refrigerant can circulate and improve the refrigeration efficiency.

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0026] See Figure 1 This type of flow channel tube ice evaporator has an evaporator body 1 made of one piece of material, with multiple ice-making tubes 4 running through it. The refrigerant used for refrigeration enters from the liquid inlet pipe 5 and circulates through the flow channel surrounding the ice-making tubes 4, performing heat exchange treatment on the water flowing in the ice-making tubes 4 to complete the ice-making operation. The upper and lower ends of the evaporator body 1 are respectively the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 3, which can help seal the flow channel and prevent the refrigerant from leaking out.

[0027] See Figure 2 Adjacent flow channels are connected by connecting channels 7, allowing refrigerant to flow into different flow channels at once. Connecting channels 7 are set at the upper or lower end of the evaporator body 1 according to the requirements of the flow channel spiral direction.

[0028] See Figures 2-4 The initial flow channel is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 5. The refrigerant enters the flow channel at position a of pipe a through the liquid inlet pipe 5, as shown below. Figure 4 (The arrows on the horizontal position of the upper cover 2 indicate the water inlet pipes a, b, c, d, e, f, g in sequence. The arrows pointing up and down on the outside of the corresponding water inlet pipes a, b, c, d, e, f, g indicate the direction of the spiral flow of the channel.) The refrigerant circulates in the evaporator to ensure that it can be in close contact with the ice-making tube 4, thereby improving the efficiency of heat exchange and ice making.

[0029] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protruding blocks 8 at both ends of the evaporator body 1 are tightly fitted to the inner wall of the upper cover 2 or the lower cover 3. This assembly method ensures the airtightness of the flow channel and the two ends of the connecting channel 7, meeting the sealing requirements.
