Description

The present invention relates to a rapid cooling shaved ice production apparatus using an ice layer forming rotary drum.

First, Patent Document 1 describes the basic principle of the present invention. The basic principle is that a water supply means for supplying water to a water receiving device, a rapid cooling means having a concentric long double cylinder, a refrigerant supplied from the rapid cooling means, and the refrigerant are used. An ice layer-forming rotating drum that forms a film-like ice layer on the outer peripheral surface while rotating the water supplied from the water supply means like a "water wheel" intersects the outer peripheral surface of the ice layer-forming rotating drum. It is composed of a cutting blade provided so as to continuously scrape off the film-like ice layer.

Therefore, the subject of the invention described in Patent Document 1 is that water can be supplied from above to the outer peripheral surface of the cooling drum via the water supply pipe 28b and the water supply receiver 28a to form a film-like ice layer, which is efficient. It is to provide a rapid cooling shaved ice production apparatus having a simple structure.

Then, the solution of the present invention substantially contacts the cooling drum 21 that forms an ice layer having a predetermined thickness on the outer peripheral surface while the outer peripheral surface is maintained at a temperature below the freezing point and rotates, and substantially contacts the outer peripheral surface of the cooling drum. The ice shaving blade 29 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cooling drum, and the water supply suit (receiver) 28a and the water supply suit (receiver) 28a in which the edges of both side surfaces and the front edge are substantially in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cooling drum. It is characterized by including a water supply means 28 including a water supply suit 28a and a water supply pipe 28b for supplying water to a space formed by an outer peripheral surface of the cooling drum 21 (see FIG. 3). The reference numerals are those of Patent Document 1.

Next, in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 2, an ice block charged from a charging chute 70 is received in a cup-shaped container 90 having an upper end opening containing a liquid substance such as syrup, and the ice block and the liquid substance are placed in the container. Described is a soft ice manufacturing apparatus in which the liquid substance and the fine particles of the ice block are foamed by stirring with a mixing blade 85 provided inside the 90 and crushing the ice block into fine fine particles. ing. The reference numerals are those of Patent Document 2.

However, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, (a) an ice layer containing a flavor component is formed on the outer peripheral surface of a cooling drum, and (b) an ice layer containing the flavor component is formed by a cutting edge of an ice shaving blade. There is no description of scraping, (c) when the ice layer containing this flavor component is scraped off by the cutting edge of the ice-cutting blade, it becomes fluffy shaved ice. In the first place, Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not even describe the matter that a saucer arranged on the lower side of the cooling drum is provided and water and one or more flavors are put in the saucer. This is because conventional shaved ice making equipment usually puts shaved ice in a container and then sprinkles a flavoring liquid such as strawberry, melon, or lemon, which the customer wants. Therefore, the devices of Patent Documents 1 and 2 have a problem that they cannot obtain fluffy shaved ice containing a flavor component.
