Description
- The present invention relates to a water spray device for an ice making machine, the water spray device supplying ice making water to an ice making region of an ice making section.
- As an automatic ice making machine that continuously makes ice, there is known a flow-down type ice making machine configured to generate ice by supplying ice making water from a water sprayer to a surface side (an ice making surface) of an ice making section arranged in a vertical direction (see, e.g., Patent Document 1). As shown in
FIG. 10 orFIG. 11 , anice making section 12 of the flow-down type ice making machine is basically constituted of a pair ofice making plates cooling pipe 16 that is provided between both theice making plates ice making plate 14, a plurality ofice making regions 20 where ice is produced are defined in a width direction by a plurality ofpartition members 18 extending in the vertical direction. Further, awater sprayer 22, which supplies to theice making regions 20 the ice making water circuited and supplied from acirculation pump 54, is provided above theice making section 12. - The
water sprayer 22 has an elongated cylindrical body formed with a substantially rectangular cross section and has its longitudinal extending in the width direction thereof above theice making section 12 in parallel therewith. Furthermore, anintroduction section 24 connected with an ice makingwater supply tube 52 led out from thecirculation pump 54 is formed at one end portion of thewater sprayer 22 in the width direction thereof, and the other end portion of the same is closed. Moreover, a plurality ofwater spray holes 26 are formed in a bottom portion of thewater sprayer 22 to be apart from each other in the width direction in accordance with the respectiveice making regions 20. It is to be noted that eachwater spray hole 26 is set to have a small diameter of approximately 3 mm to 5 mm so that thewater supply hole 26 can be prevented from being clogged with foreign particles included in the ice making water. - In the flow-down type ice making machine, at the time of an ice making operation, the
circulation pump 54 is operated to supply the ice making water to thewater sprayer 22 under pressure, and the ice making water is sprayed to the respectiveice making regions 20 via the respectivewater spray holes 26. At the same time, the refrigerant is circulated and supplied to thecooling pipe 16 from a non-illustrated condenser so that the ice making water sprayed from thewater sprayer 22 to flow down on the ice making surfaces can be cooled and frozen at positions where the ice making water comes into contact with thecooling pipe 16 on the ice making surfaces. It is to be noted that, in a deicing operation, supply of the ice making water to thewater sprayer 22 is stopped, and deicing water is supplied to back sides of theice making plates FIG. 11 ) provided below thewater spray 22. Additionally, a hot gas is supplied to thecooling pipe 16, and frozen portions of the ice generated in theice making regions 20 with respect to theice making plates ice making plate 14. - Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-open (Kokai) No. 7-218066
- In the
water sprayer 22, since the ice making water supplied by thecirculation pump 54 under pressure swiftly flows toward the closed end from theintroduction section 24 and a flow rate of the ice making water is high on theintroduction section 24 side whilst a pressure is high on the closed end side, there is pointed out a problem that an amount of the ice making water sprayed from thewater spray holes 26 on the closed end side is large but an amount of the ice making water sprayed from thewater spray holes 26 on theintroduction section 24 is small. In some cases, air may be sucked in from thewater spray holes 26 on theintroduction section 24 side so that the ice making water cannot be sprayed from thewater spray holes 26. Since the amount of ice making water to be supplied to eachice making region 20 from thewater sprayer 22 varies as described above, not only ice having a fixed size cannot be generated in eachice making region 20 but also ice having a different shape or clouded ice may be produced, thus greatly violating a commercial value of the ice. Further, the ice making water sprayed from thewater spray holes 26 may obliquely flow out toward the closed end side from theintroduction section 24 side, and it may be splashed to the outside of theice making section 12 beyond thepartition members 18 to bring negative effects, e.g., deficiency of the ice making water or melting ice stored below theice making section 12. - That is, in view of the above-described problem inherent in the water spray device for the ice making machine according to the present technology, the present invention is proposed to preferably solve this problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a water spray device for an ice making machine that can uniformly supply ice making water to ice making regions of an ice making section.
- To solve the above-described problem and achieve the predetermined object, according to the present invention, there is provided a water spray device for an ice making machine, the device configured to receive ice making water delivered under pressure and supply the same to an ice making region of an ice making section, comprising:
- a water spray section that is provided above the ice making section to extend in a width direction of the ice making section and supplies the ice making water to the ice making region of the ice making section from water spray holes arranged to be apart from each other in the width direction;
- a buffer section that is provided next to the water spray section and has, at one end in the width direction, an introduction section that receives the ice making water delivered under pressure; and
- a communication section that is provided between the water spray section and the buffer section and leads the ice making water received by the buffer section to the water spray section through a communication hole.
- According to the water spray device for an ice making machine of the present invention, the ice making water can be uniformly supplied to the ice making region of the ice making section.

- A preferred embodiment of a water spray device for an ice making machine according to the present invention will now be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be noted that like reference numerals denote elements equal to constituent elements of the ice making section shown in
FIG. 10 andFIG. 11 to omit a detailed description thereof for convenience of explanation. - As shown in
FIG. 1 orFIG. 2 , anice making section 12 of a flow-down type ice making machine having a water sprayer according to an embodiment arranged therein is longitudinally arranged so that each plate surface can substantially vertically extend, and it is constituted of a pair ofice making plates cooling pipe 16 formed into a repetitive meandering shape so that a linear portion can extend in a width direction of theice making section 12 is arranged between opposed surfaces of both theice making plates ice making plates ice making plate 14 facing the other ice making plate functions as an ice making surface, and a plurality ofpartition members 18 are provided to protrude along a vertical direction of the ice making surface of eachice making plate 14. The plurality ofpartition members 18 are arranged so as to be apart from each other in a width direction of eachice making plate 14, and thesepartition members 18 define a plurality ofice making regions 20 in parallel along the width direction of eachice making plate 14 on the ice making surfaces. Further, above theice making section 12, a water sprayer 30 that supplies ice making water to theice making regions 20 of eachice making plate 14 at the time of an ice making operation and deicing water supplying means 28 for supplying deicing water to the back side of eachice making plate 14 at the time of a deicing operation are arranged. - An ice making
water tank 50 that stores the ice making water flowing down on theice making plates ice making section 12, and the ice makingwater tank 50 is connected to a circulation pump (pressure-feeding means) 54 through an ice makingwater supply tube 52. Further, at the time of the ice making operation, a refrigerant is supplied from a freezing system to thecooling pipe 16, and the ice making water is supplied to eachice making region 20 from thewater sprayer 30, whereby a substantially semicircular ice piece is generated in eachice making region 20. It is to be noted that, at the time of the deicing operation, a hot gas is supplied to thecooling pipe 16 by valve switching of the freezing system, and the deicing water is supplied to the back sides of theice making plates - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thewater sprayer 30 includes awater spray section 32 arranged above theice making section 12, abuffer section 36 that receives the ice making water delivered under pressure by thecirculation pump 54, and acommunication section 40 that achieves communication and connection between thewater spray section 32 and thebuffer section 36. In thewater sprayer 30 according to the embodiment, thewater spray section 32, thebuffer section 36, and thecommunication section 40 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thewater spray section 32 has a hallow cylindrical body having adistribution space 32 a that distributes the ice making water formed therein, and it is formed with a substantially rectangular cross section in the embodiment. Furthermore, thewater spray section 32 is arranged above theice making section 12. Thewater spray section 32 is provided to extend over the entire width direction of eachice making plate 14, and it is formed of a size that substantially matches a dimension from a protruding end of thepartition member 18 of oneice making plate 14 to a protruding end of thepartition member 18 of the other ice making plate 14 (seeFIG. 2 ). In a bottom portion of thewater spray section 32, each water spray hole group consisting of a plurality of water spray holes 34, which are arranged in parallel to be apart from each other in an opposing direction of the pair ofice making plates distribution space 32, is provided in association with each ice making plate 14 (seeFIG. 3 ). Furthermore, the respective water spray holes 34 constituting the water spray hole group are placed on the ice making surface side of eachice making plate 14, arranged to be apart from each other in the width direction of eachice making plate 14 in association with the respectiveice making regions 20 of eachice making plate 14, and also arranged at central portions of the respectiveice making regions 20 in the width direction. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thebuffer section 36 has a hollow cylindrical body having abuffer space 36 a in which the ice making water is distributed, and it is formed with a circular cross section in the embodiment. Moreover, thebuffer section 36 is provided next to thewater spray section 32. Here, thebuffer section 36 is provided to extend in the width direction of theice making section 12, and it is formed with a dimension equal to a size of thewater spray section 32 in the width direction. Additionally, anintroduction section 38 connected with the ice makingwater supply tube 52 is provided at one end of thebuffer section 36 in the width direction, and the other end of the same in the width direction is closed. - The
communication section 40 includes communication holes 42 communicating with thedistribution space 32 a of thewater spray section 32 and thebuffer space 36 a of thebuffer section 36, and it is configured in such a manner that the communication holes 42 are provided to extend in a lateral direction crossing an inflow direction of the ice making water supplied into thebuffer space 36 a of thebuffer section 36 through the introduction section 38 (seeFIG. 2 ). Thecommunication section 40 according to the embodiment is constituted of a plurality of angularcylindrical bodies 41 arranged in the width direction of the ice making section to be apart from each other, and onecommunication hole 42 is opened in each angular cylindrical body 41 (seeFIG. 3 ). The plurality of communication holes 42 are all formed with the same cross-sectional dimension (seeFIG. 3( b)). Further, the plurality of communication holes 42 are provided so as to communicate with positions deviated in the width direction from the water spray holes 34 arranged in thewater spray section 32 to be apart from each other in the width direction of the water spray section 32 (seeFIG. 3( a)). It is to be noted that eachcommunication hole 42 according to the embodiment is arranged at the center between the water spray holes 34, 34 that are adjacent to each other. - A function of the
water sprayer 30 according to the embodiment will now be described. At the time of the ice making operation, in thewater sprayer 30, the ice making water delivered under pressure by thecirculation pump 54 from the ice makingwater tank 50 is supplied into thebuffer space 36 a of thebuffer section 36 from theintroduction section 38 via the ice makingwater supply tube 52. Since one end of thebuffer section 36 in the width direction that is placed in the inflow direction of the ice making water is closed, the ice making water strikes on the closed end of thebuffer section 36 to reduce its flow velocity, and then it is led to thedistribution space 32 a of thewater spray section 32 from thebuffer space 36 a through eachcommunication hole 42. That is, the ice making water is led into thedistribution space 32 a of thewater spray section 32 via eachcommunication hole 42 from the lateral direction crossing a separating direction (the width direction of the ice making section 12) of the plurality of water spray holes 34 constituting each water spray hole group. Furthermore, the ice making water strikes on an inner wall of thewater spray section 32 facing the communication holes 42 in thedistribution space 32 a to further reduce its flow velocity, and it is guided to both sides in the width direction along the inner wall. Therefore, in thedistribution space 32 a of thewater spray section 32, a difference in flow velocity and a difference in pressure of the ice making water are reduced in the width direction, and hence the ice making water can be uniformly flowed out from the plurality of water spray holes 34 provided in thewater spray section 32 in a well-balanced manner. - As described above, the
water sprayer 30 can uniform amounts of the ice making water supplied to the correspondingice making regions 20 from the plurality of water spray holes 34 by suppressing an influence of the flow velocity or the pressure of the ice making water in thewater spray section 32 as a configuration of receiving the pressure-fed ice making water in thebuffer section 36 and leading the received ice making water to thewater spray section 32 through the communication holes 42 of thecommunication section 40. That is, in theice making section 12, ice can stably grow in eachice making region 20, resulting ice pieces are of a uniform size, and generation of ice having a different shape or clouded ice due to excess or deficiency of the ice making water can be prevented. Moreover, since theice making section 12 can uniformly make the ice in the entireice making regions 20 in eachice making plate 14, its cooling efficiency and deicing efficiency are excellent, thereby improving an ice making capacity. Additionally, since the flow velocity of the ice making water is suppressed, it does not obliquely flow out from eachwater spray hole 34, and an inconvenience, e.g., insufficiency of the ice making water or melting the ice stored below theice making section 12 due to scattering toward the outside of theice making section 12 can be avoided. - The
water sprayer 30 functions so that each of the plurality of communication holes 42 can reduce the flow velocity of the ice making water. Further, in thewater sprayer 30, when the respective communication holes 42 are provided to communicate with the positions deviated in the width direction from the water spray holes 34 in thewater spray section 32, the ice making water that has flowed into thedistribution space 32 a of thewater spray section 32 can be prevented from immediately flowing out from the water spray holes 34, thus flowing out from eachwater spray hole 34 the ice making water buffered in thewater spray section 32. - The present invention is not restricted to the configuration of the embodiment, and it can be modified as follows. In modifications described with reference to
FIG. 4 toFIG. 9 , like reference numerals denote structures equal to theice making section 12 and thewater sprayer 30, thereby omitting a description thereof. - (1) Although the
communication section 40 is constituted of the plurality of angularcylindrical bodies 41 that are independent from each other in the embodiment, eachcommunication hole 64 may be formed by expanding acommunication section 62 so that one of plate-like portions 63 facing each other can be partially separated from the other like awater sprayer 30 depicted inFIG. 4 . That is, as thewater sprayer 30, a configuration that the plurality of communication holes 64 are provided in onecommunication section 62 to be apart from each other in a width direction can be adopted. Eachcommunication hole 64 has a circular cross-sectional shape, and the plurality of communication holes 64 is all formed of the same size (seeFIG. 4( b)).
(2) As shown inFIG. 5 , acommunication section 67 may be configured in such a manner that a size of eachcommunication hole 68 is reduced from one end side of abuffer section 36 on which anintroduction section 38 is provided toward the other end side of the same in a width direction. Here, in thebuffer section 36, although a difference in flow velocity of ice making water is buffered to some extent by abuffer space 36 a, there is a difference in flow velocity between anintroduction section 14 side and a closed end side, the ice making water is hard to flow into eachcommunication hole 68 provided on anintroduction section 38 side and, on the other hand, the ice making water is easy to flow into eachcommunication hole 68 provided on the closed end side. That is, a size of eachcommunication hole 68 on theintroduction section 38 side of thebuffer section 36 into which the ice making water is hard to flow is set big whilst a size of eachcommunication hole 68 on the closed end side of thebuffer section 36 into which the ice making water is easy to flow is set to be smaller than the size of the counterpart on theintroduction section 38 side, thereby balancing amounts of the ice making water flowing into the plurality of communication holes 68. Therefore, the ice making water can uniformly flow into adistribution space 32 a of awater spray section 32 from the plurality of communication holes 68 along the width direction, and amounts of the ice making water sprayed from a plurality of water spray holes 34 can be also further uniformed.
(3) Although thecommunication section 40 is constituted of the plurality of angularcylindrical bodies 41 that are independent from each other in the embodiment, acommunication section 72 may be constituted of an elongated single cylindrical body formed to extend in a width direction of anice making section 12 like awater sprayer 30 depicted inFIG. 6 . In thecommunication section 72, onecommunication hole 74 having a straight side extended in a width direction of anice making section 12 is provided. A configuration that onecommunication hole 74 is provided in onecommunication section 72 in this manner enables facilitating formation. It is to be noted that the plurality of communication holes 74 are formed to have the same vertical dimension along the width direction (seeFIG. 6( b)).
(4) As shown inFIG. 7 , acommunication section 76 may be configured in such a manner that a size of acommunication hole 78 is gradually reduced from one end side of abuffer section 36 on which anintroduction section 38 is provided toward the other end side of the same along a width direction. It is to be noted, like acommunication section 80 as another example depicted inFIG. 8 , acommunication hole 82 may have a configuration that its size is reduced in stages from one end side toward the other end side along a width direction rather a configuration that its size is gradually reduced from one end side toward the other end side along the width direction. Although a difference in flow velocity of ice making water is buffered to some extent by abuffer space 36 a in thebuffer section 36, since there is a difference in flow velocity between anintroduction section 38 side and a closed end side, the ice making water is difficult to flow into thecommunication hole introduction section 38 side whilst the ice making water is easy to flow into thecommunication hole communication hole introduction section 38 side of thebuffer section 36 into which the ice making water is hard to flow is set big and, on the other hand, a vertical dimension of the same on the closed end side of thebuffer section 36 into which the ice making water is easy to flow is set to be smaller than that on theintroduction section 38 side, thereby balancing an amount of the ice making water distributed through theentire communication hole distribution space 32 a of awater spray section 32 from thecommunication hole
(5) Although thebuffer section 36 according to the embodiment is formed in such a manner that thebuffer space 36 a can have the same cross-sectional dimension from the one end side toward the other end side along the width direction, it is possible to adopt a configuration that abuffer space 90 a is gradually narrowed from one end side on which anintroduction section 38 is provided toward the other end side along a width direction like abuffer section 90 according to still another example depicted inFIG. 9( a). Furthermore, like a buffer section 92 according to yet another example depicted inFIG. 9( b), a configuration that abuffer space 92 a is narrowed in stages from one end side on which anintroduction section 38 is provided toward the other end side along a width direction may be adopted. According to thebuffer section 90 or 92 as another example, ice making water that has flowed into abuffer space introduction section 38 strikes on not only a closed end side but also an inner wall of thebuffer section 90 or 92 placed in an advancing direction, thus improving a buffer function of thebuffer section 90 or 92 with respect to the ice making water.
(6) Although the configuration that the buffer section receives the ice making water delivered under pressure from the pump as the pressure-feeding means has been described in the embodiment, the invention according to the present application can be likewise applied to a configuration that pressurized ice making water is supplied by pressure-feeding means provided outside the ice making machine from an external water source such as a water service.
(7) Although the example where the invention according to the present application is applied to the ice making section of the flow-down type ice making machine has been described, the invention according to the present application can be likewise applied to a water fountain type ice making machine having a cell type ice making section that sprays and supplies ice making water to an ice making chamber provided in the ice making section to generate ice or a plate type ice making machine that generates plate-like ice.
