Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ice making and ice selling technology, and in particular, a multifunctional ice-water mixing and supply system. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the industries using ice are expanding, and the requirements for ice quality are becoming increasingly stringent. Consequently, the demands for "high performance," "low failure rate," "hygiene," and "production quality and efficiency" in ice industry equipment are becoming increasingly urgent. Ice industry equipment has been widely applied in industries and commerce such as aquaculture, food, supermarkets, dairy, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, vegetable preservation and transportation, and marine fishing.

[0003] In the ice-making industry, the quality of ice can be affected at every stage, including production, storage, transportation, and sales. Therefore, accurate management and control of each stage are crucial. The market's diverse demands for refrigeration products in terms of type, duration, and effectiveness necessitate various refrigeration media in different forms. This is especially true for seafood. For example, long-term freezing requires large blocks of ice to ensure effective freezing, short-term preservation requires seawater ice slurry or low-temperature seawater for refrigeration, and short-term aquaculture requires ambient-temperature seawater for cultivation. Different forms of refrigeration products are needed to meet different preservation requirements.

[0004] Existing cold storage supply systems are limited by the limited variety of refrigeration products they can provide, which prevents them from achieving diverse refrigeration and preservation effects through different combinations. This restricts the functionality of cold storage supply systems, makes them difficult to adapt to diverse market demands, and hinders the development of the refrigeration industry.

[0023] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-functional ice-water mixing supply system includes an ice storage 1 and a water source. The ice outlet of the ice storage 1 is connected to the inlet of the metering ice feeder 2. The outlet of the metering ice feeder 2 is connected to the ice supply main pipe 6. The outlet of the metering ice feeder 2 is connected to the ice supply main pipe 6 through the ice crusher 5. The ice supply main pipe 6 is connected to the direct ice outlet 8, the packaging machine 9, the ice slurry storage tank 10, and the cryogenic liquid storage tank 11 through the ice conveyor 7. The water source is connected to the ice slurry storage tank 10 and the cryogenic liquid storage tank 11 through the water supply pipe. The ice slurry storage tank 10 / the cryogenic liquid storage tank 11 / the water source are connected to the underground pre-buried pipeline 14.

[0025] The water source can be tap water, seawater, or other water sources.

[0026] The system comprises three floors from bottom to top: a ground floor, a middle floor, and a top floor. The upper portion of the ice storage 1, metering ice feeder 2, ice crusher 5, and main ice supply pipe 6 are located in the middle floor. The lower portion of the main ice supply pipe 6 extends into the ground floor to connect to the ice feeder 7. The ice feeder 7, direct ice outlet 8, packaging machine 9, ice slurry storage tank 10, and cryogenic liquid storage tank 11 are located in the ground floor. The water source is a water storage tank 13, located on the top floor. This longitudinally arranged multi-floor integrated ice-water supply system is particularly suitable for inland fresh food markets. Seawater is stored in the water storage tank 13, allowing for gravity-fed supply of seawater and ice from top to bottom, reducing transportation power and saving floor space.

[0027] The metering ice dispenser 2 is set at an upward angle from the inlet to the outlet 2. The outlet 1 is set at the bottom of the middle section of the metering ice dispenser 2. An opening and closing door is set on the outlet 1. The outlet 1 is connected to the downward-sloping bend pipe 3. The outlet 2 is set at the bottom of the upper end of the metering ice dispenser 2. The outlet 2 is connected to the suspended pipe port 4.

[0028] The metering ice feeder 2 is specifically a spiral ice feeder. The internal structure of the metering ice feeder 2 features spiral blades, with the gaps between the blades serving as ice-carrying space. The central axis of the spiral blades is controlled by a motor. By controlling the rotation speed and time of the spiral blades, the number of unit weights of ice fed out is controlled, thus achieving the metering function. This metering ice feeder 2 is existing technology.

[0029] A support frame is fixed on the middle floor, and an ice crusher 5 is fixed on the support frame. The ice crusher 5 has an ice inlet at the top and an ice drop outlet at the bottom. The ice inlet is connected directly below outlet two, and the ice drop outlet is connected to the top of the main ice delivery pipe 6. A bend pipe 3 connects to the middle of the main ice delivery pipe 6. There are two ice delivery paths through the metering ice feeder 2. One path is that the ice enters the metering ice feeder 2 from the ice storage 1, and when it reaches the middle, the door of outlet one opens, and the ice falls directly into the main ice delivery pipe 6 through the bend pipe 3, thus providing larger ice blocks. The other path is that the ice enters the metering ice feeder 2 from the ice storage 1, the door closes, and the ice falls from outlet two into the ice crusher 5 for crushing, which can provide ice blocks as small as snowflakes.

[0030] The ice conveyor 7 is horizontally positioned, with the bottom of the main ice supply pipe 6 connected to the middle of the ice conveyor 7. Ice outlets 1, 2, 3, and 4 are arranged at the bottom of the ice conveyor 7. Gates are installed on each of these outlets. Ice outlet 1 connects to the direct ice supply outlet 8, ice outlet 2 connects to the packaging machine 9, ice outlet 3 connects to the ice slurry storage tank 10, and ice outlet 4 connects to the cryogenic liquid storage tank 11. Two ice outlets are located to the left and two to the right of the bottom of the main ice supply pipe 6 on the ice conveyor 7. Different directions of ice delivery are achieved by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the ice conveyor 7. When ice is needed from a particular outlet, that outlet is opened, and the others are closed.

[0031] The ice conveyor 7 is specifically a spiral ice conveyor. The interior of the ice conveyor 7 is equipped with spiral blades, and the gaps between the spiral blades serve as ice-carrying space. The central axis of the spiral blades is controlled by a motor. By controlling the rotation direction, speed, and time of the spiral blades, the quantity of ice per unit weight can be controlled to be conveyed in a specified direction. This ice conveyor 7 is existing technology.

[0032] A partition wall 12 is installed inside the ground floor, with a window on the partition wall 12. The ice outlet of the ice conveyor 7 extends out of the window. The packaging machine 9, ice slurry storage tank 10, and cryogenic liquid storage tank 11 are located inside the partition wall 12. The ice outlet is connected to the direct ice supply outlet 8. Placing the direct ice supply outlet 8 on the outside allows consumers to receive the ice directly from the outside, thus speeding up the ice sales process.

[0033] The six main chilled water supply functions of this multi-functional chilled water mixing supply system are:

[0034] 1) Direct supply of large ice blocks:

[0035] Ice from ice storage 1 is transferred to the middle section by metering ice feeder 2, and the door of outlet 1 opens. The ice body falls directly into the ice delivery main pipe 6 through the bent pipe 3, and then is transported to the direct ice supply outlet 8 by ice conveyor 7 to supply large-volume ice blocks.

[0036] 2) Direct supply of crushed ice:

[0037] Ice from ice storage 1 is transferred to outlet 2 via metering ice feeder 2. The ice falls into ice crusher 5 for crushing, and then the crushed ice blocks fall through ice main pipe 6 and are transported to direct ice outlet 8 via ice conveyor 7 to supply small-volume ice blocks.

[0038] 3) Packaging for crushed ice:

[0039] Ice from ice storage 1 is transferred to outlet 2 via metering ice feeder 2. The ice falls into ice crusher 5 for crushing, and then the crushed ice blocks fall through ice main pipe 6 and are transported to packaging machine 9 via ice conveyor 7 for quantitative packaging, providing bagged crushed ice products.

[0040] 4) Seawater ice slurry supply:

[0041] Ice from ice storage 1 is transferred to outlet 2 via metering ice feeder 2. The ice falls into ice crusher 5 for crushing until it becomes snowflake ice crystals. The snowflake ice crystals then fall through ice main pipe 6 and are transported to ice slurry storage tank 10 via ice conveyor 7. Room temperature seawater is output from water storage tank 13 and enters ice slurry storage tank 10. The snowflake ice crystals and room temperature seawater mix to form seawater ice slurry, which is then supplied through underground pre-buried pipeline 14.

[0042] 5) Low-temperature seawater supply:

[0043] Ice from ice storage 1 is transferred to the middle section by metering ice feeder 2, and the door of outlet 1 opens. The ice body falls directly into the ice delivery main pipe 6 through the bend pipe 3, and then is transported to the cryogenic liquid storage tank 11 by ice conveyor 7. Normal temperature seawater is output from water storage tank 13 and enters the cryogenic liquid storage tank 11. The normal temperature seawater is cooled to zero degrees by the large ice blocks and then supplied with zero-degree seawater through the underground pre-buried pipe 14.

[0044] 6) Supply of seawater at ambient temperature:

[0045] The room-temperature seawater is directly output from the water storage tank 13 into the underground pre-buried pipe 14, and the room-temperature seawater is transported and supplied through the underground pre-buried pipe 14.

[0046] It is not limited to the above six methods of ice water supply; other paths can also be used to form various ways of combining non-crushed ice / crushed ice with different equipment.
