Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of indirect cooling ice brick machine, specifically an indirect cooling ice brick machine. Background Technology

[0002] As an important branch of ice makers, ice brick making machines produce ice bricks characterized by their large size, small contact area with the outside environment, and resistance to melting. They are widely used in ice factories in ports and docks, food processing, seafood preservation and cooling, long-distance transportation, ice sculpture display, and edible ice, among other fields. Custom sizes are available to meet specific needs. Common types include direct-cooling ice brick machines and brine-cooling ice brick machines. Currently, indirect-cooling ice brick machines suffer from poor cooling effect because the brine in the ice-making tank is stagnant. This results in the brine near the center of the ice mold failing to effectively cool the mold, hindering ice-making operations and reducing user convenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an indirect cooling ice block machine, which solves the problem that because the brine is static in the ice making tank, the brine near the center of the ice mold has difficulty in effectively cooling the ice mold, thus reducing the cooling effect on the ice mold, which is not conducive to better ice making operation and reduces the convenience of use.

[0020] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] The stirring and circulating device 8 includes a drive motor 801 fixedly installed on the right side of the lower surface of the refrigeration tank 7. A drive shaft 802 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 801. A fixed bracket 803 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the refrigeration tank 7. A rotatable rotating stirring crossbeam 804 is provided on the top of the fixed bracket 803. A first bevel gear 805 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the rotating stirring crossbeam 804. An installation bracket 806 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the refrigeration tank 7. A rotatable vertical stirring frame 807 is provided on the inner side of the installation bracket 806. A second bevel gear 808 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the vertical stirring frame 807. The first bevel gear 805 meshes with the second bevel gear 808.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, casters are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the ice brick machine housing 1. The outer surface of the casters is provided with protective rubber pads with a thickness of 5 mm. The casters are also equipped with brake devices to facilitate the fixation of the ice brick machine.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are two sets of vertical stirring racks 807, each 650 mm long. Stirring blades are evenly distributed on the surface of each vertical stirring rack 807, and are inclined at a 45-degree angle to enhance the stirring effect on the brine. A rotating circular hole is provided at the top of the fixed bracket 803, with a diameter 2 mm larger than that of the rotating stirring crossbeam 804. The rotating stirring crossbeam 804 rotates inside the rotating circular hole, which is equipped with a lubricating layer to reduce friction during rotation. The top of the drive shaft 802 is connected to the bottom of the vertical stirring rack 807 on the right side. The drive shaft 802 and the vertical stirring rack 807 are fixedly connected by a coupling to ensure transmission stability.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] S1. First, start the water-cooled evaporator 2, and at the same time start the compressor 3 and condenser 4. Start the water pump 5 to inject brine into the refrigeration tank 7 through the circulating water pipe 6. Place the ice mold 9 filled with water in the designated position of the refrigeration tank 7.

[0027] S2. Start the compressor 3 to compress the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and send it into the condenser 4 to cool it into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant enters the water-cooled evaporator 2 to evaporate and absorb heat, which lowers the temperature of the surrounding brine. The water pump 5 transports the low-temperature brine to the refrigeration tank 7 through the circulating water pipe 6.

[0028] S3. Then start the drive motor 801. The drive motor 801 drives the drive shaft 802 to rotate. The drive shaft 802 drives the vertical stirring frame 807 on the right to rotate. At the same time, through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 805 and the second bevel gear 808, the rotating stirring frame 804 and the vertical stirring frame 807 on the left are driven to rotate, so that the brine can circulate fully in the refrigeration tank 7 and come into full contact with the ice mold 9 to exchange heat, so that the water in the ice mold 9 gradually freezes into ice bricks. After the ice making is completed, turn off all equipment and use the ice brick removal equipment to take out the ice bricks.

[0029] In summary, this indirect-cooling ice block machine, through the drive motor 801 driving the drive shaft 802 to rotate, the drive shaft 802 driving the vertical stirring frame 807 on the right to rotate, and simultaneously through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 805 and the second bevel gear 808, drives the rotating stirring cross frame 804 and the vertical stirring frame 807 on the left to rotate, so that the brine can circulate fully in the refrigeration tank 7, improving the cooling effect of the brine on the ice mold 9, and ensuring the quality and efficiency of ice making.

[0030] This indirect-cooling ice block machine, through the refrigeration system consisting of a water-cooled evaporator 2, a compressor 3, and a condenser 4, combined with a circulating water pipe 6 and a water pump 5, can provide a continuous and stable cooling capacity to the refrigeration tank 7, ensuring the smooth progress of the ice-making process, and has high refrigeration efficiency and low energy consumption.
