Description

(A) 各製氷領域２０における上下に隣接する各傾斜部２２は、上側の傾斜部２２の傾斜下端と下側の傾斜部２２の傾斜上端とが表裏方向において離間しているので、各傾斜部２２を上下方向において隣接して配置することができる。すなわち、従来技術のように突起等に接触することを考慮する必要はないから、蒸発管１６における横延在部１６ａの上下間隔を狭くして、製氷部１０の上下方向の寸法を小さくすることができる。従って、各製氷板１４のサイズを小さくし得るので、製氷ユニット１２の上下寸法および製氷機自体のコンパクト化が図られ、製造コストを抑えることができる。
(B) 各製氷領域２０における製氷面部１９が、上下方向において傾斜部２２と連結部２４とが交互に配置されて凹凸状となっており、これら傾斜部２２および連設部２４が突条部１８にジグザグ状に連設しているので、該突条部１８が製氷領域２０側へ倒れ込むように変形するのは抑制される。従って、各傾斜部２２で形成された氷塊Ｍが、該突条部１８に引掛かることが防止され、該突条部１８の変形を起因とする氷塊Ｍの過融解を防止し得る。
(C) 各製氷部同士の隙間や側壁３６との隙間が小さくなることで、製氷運転に際して両側壁３６,３６で囲われている空間内全体の温度が短時間で低下し、氷塊Ｍが生成される時間も短かくなり、製氷能力が向上する。
(D) 前記製氷板１４,１４の最上部に形成されている傾斜部２２,２２の裏面における傾斜上端間に形成される通路２８は、蒸発管１６の管径より幅狭になっているから、図１に示す如く、前記除氷水散布器３４から前記導入部２６,２６間に供給された除氷水は、該幅狭の通路２８を通過することにより対向する傾斜部２２,２２の裏面に分かれて流れ易くなる。すなわち、蒸発管１６における最上部の横延在部１６ａの上方に位置する傾斜部２２,２２の裏面にも除氷水が流れ、最上部に生成された氷塊Ｍ,Ｍの除氷効率が向上する。従って、最上部の氷塊Ｍが必要以上に融解するのは防止され、製氷能力が向上する。
(E) 各製氷領域２０における製氷面部１９が、上下方向において傾斜部２２と連結部２４とが交互に配置されて凹凸状となっているので、製氷板１４の上方から供給される製氷水が製氷面部１９に沿って流下する際の流下速度が抑えられ、製氷水の飛散りによる製氷効率の低下が防止される。そして、製氷水の供給量を減らしても、該製氷水が各傾斜部２２の全面に広がりながら流下するようになり、各傾斜部２２に製氷水を効率的に氷結させ得る。しかも、製氷水の供給量が抑えられるので、出力が小さい小型のポンプモータで必要とされる製氷水の供給が可能となり、製氷ユニットのコストダウンおよび省エネルギーに寄与できる。
(F) 各傾斜部２２に氷塊Ｍが形成される途中において、該氷塊Ｍの外表面に沿って製氷水が流下する際にあっても、製氷水の流下速度が抑えられ、製氷水の飛跳ねによる製氷効率の低下が防止される。
