When the water supply tank 18 filled with water is set in a predetermined position by the user, the valve 20 is pushed up, the water supply port 19 is opened, and the water storage tray 21 is filled with water. Thereafter, the filled water is pumped up by the water supply pump 22, and water starts to be supplied to the ice tray 33 via the water supply pipe 68.

When water is supplied to one of the subdivisions 34 of the ice tray 33, a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the other subdivisions 34 through the communication groove 36 (the predetermined amount of water is supplied, for example, by stipulating the operating time of the motor of the water supply pump 22, etc.) (performed by means of This state is shown in FIG. 3, where the draining tray 37 is in an inverted position away from the draining tray 46.

In this state, the blower 9 forces the cold air cooled by the cooler 8 through the ventilation path 69 onto the ice surface of the ice tray 33, thereby starting the cooling action. At the same time, the heating action of the heater 32 disposed on the bottom of the heat insulating tank 28 is started, and the metal plate 30 on the bottom is heated. Also, ice tray 33
Since the outer periphery of the ice tray 33 is surrounded by a heat insulating material 31 in the heat insulating tank 28, the cooling effect from the outer periphery is also suppressed, and the freezing effect is suppressed by the ice tray 33.
It progresses in one direction from above to below.

Therefore, if the freezing speed is appropriately slowed down (for example, 5 m
m/h) As ice formation progresses, gaseous components dissolved in the water and various impurities contained therein are precipitated outside the ice crystals and discharged into the unfrozen water below. The ice that is formed in this way over time has a very high degree of transparency.
The result is highly pure ice with few impurities. Then, as a predetermined cooling time elapses, ice of a required appropriate thickness (for example, 26 m) is generated. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the state diagram shows a state in which highly transparent and pure ice coexists in the upper part of each small section 34 of the ice tray 33, and unfrozen water with reduced purity coexists in the lower part. It has become.

In this state, the drive device 4o operates to move the first support shaft 38. The second support shaft 39 starts rotating, and first the draining tray 37 is reversed and set above the drainage pressure 46, then the ice making tray 33 rotates and leaves the insulation tank 25, and is set first. It is turned over to a position close to the top of the draining plate 37 so as to overlap with it. At the same time, the heater 3 in the insulation tank 28
The heating action of 2 is stopped. Then, a backing plate 44 fixed to the ice tray 33 comes into contact with a stopper 42 provided on the drive device 4o, and the drive device 40 then applies rotational force to the ice tray 33, so that the ice tray 33 is distorted and deformed. The ice in the small section 34 is released and falls onto a grid-shaped draining tray 3 set below. At the same time, each small section 34
Unfrozen water with a high concentration of gaseous components and impurities remaining inside the draining pan 37 also flows out and falls. The ice and water are separated from each other by falling directly into the drain tray 46 instead of collecting in the water. That is, only ice with high transparency and purity is left on the draining tray 37. This state is shown in FIG. On the other hand, the unfrozen water that has fallen into the drain tray 46 is passed through the drain pipe 47 to the water conduit 57 and to the evaporator tray 66 of the evaporator 62 in the machine room 51.
Thereafter, the water drained into the evaporating dish 56 is evaporated by the heating action of the heating plate 66 that is brought into close contact with the heating tube 54 through which the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas from the compressor 53 flows. In addition, the drain plate 46. In order to prevent the flowing water from freezing in the drain pipe 47, the heaters 4B and 49 perform a heating action as appropriate.

On the other hand, since the ice thus left has moisture attached to a portion of its surface, it is cooled and dried as it is for a suitable period of time. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, the drive device 4Q operates again to rotate the first support shaft 38 degrees and the second support shaft 39, and first the ice tray 33 is rotated and set in the heat insulating tank 28. On the other hand, the draining tray 37 is reversed from the top of the draining tray 46, and the contact plate 46 fixed to the draining NL37 above the ice storage box 6Q comes into contact with the stopper 43 provided on the drive device 4o. Then, as the drive device 40 further applies rotational force to the draining tray 3, the draining tray 37 is distorted and deformed, and the ice placed on the draining tray 37 is released, and the ice is removed from the ice storage box 6o provided below. It falls inside and is stored as ice. This state is shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the automatic ice cream manufacturing device 77 will be described. When the user puts the mix 78 into the container 70 and operates the drive device 4o, the drive motor 40a starts rotating, and the reduction gear 40b also rotates in conjunction with this. When the reduction gear 40b rotates, the first support shaft 38 connected to and passing through the final stage gear rotates, and the stirring device e2 starts swinging motion. Then, due to this swing movement, the pin 66
A helical rotating body 66 is connected to the gear part 69 and the container 7 with
Rotation begins when gear line 0 engages with gear line 4. Next, when the reduction gear 4ob continues to rotate and the magnet 40c comes to a position facing the reed switch 40d, the movement of the drive motor 40a is temporarily stopped by a signal from the reed switch 4od, and then starts rotating in the opposite direction. At this time, the helical rotating body is located at the ridgeline between the bottom wall 71 and side wall 73 of the container 70. Then, when the reduction gear 40b rotates in the opposite direction and the magnet 4oc comes to a position facing the reed switch 40e, the drive motor 40a stops temporarily due to the signal from the reed switch 40o, and then rotates in the forward direction again. is reversed. At this time, the helical rotating body 66 is connected to the container 70.
It is located on the other ridgeline of the bottom wall 71 and side wall 73. In this way, due to the action of the rotational position detection device 4of, the drive motor 40a is rotated at a constant rotation speed, and the reduction gear 4of is rotated.
will repeat forward and reverse rotation within a certain rotation angle,
In response to this movement, the stirring device 62 repeats swinging motions at a certain angle, and the helical rotating body 66 is busy rotating in accordance with the curved surface of the bottom wall 71 of the container 7o. Therefore, the mix 78 in the container 7o is mixed with the stirring device 6.
While being pushed away by the swing motion of step 2, it is caught in the rotational action of the helical rotating body 66. At this time, mix 7
A part of the rotor 8 is caught in the groove 68 of the helical rotating body 66, rotates, and flows backward and falls.

In addition, a part of the mixture 78 climbs over the support column 64 and flows backward from the upper stage and falls, and the space created between the mixes 78 is sealed, so that air is included in the mix 78. On the other hand, the remainder of the mix 78 is crushed within the gap between the outer periphery 67 of the helical rotating body 66 and the bottom wall 71 of the container 0, crushing the material and ice crystals and making it fine.

On the other hand, the cold air that has been sufficiently cooled by the cooler 8 is introduced toward the top opening of the container To by the forced ventilation action of the blower 9, and at the same time, the cold air is introduced toward the top opening of the container To through the cold air introduction lower door provided at the back of the lower part of the container 70. The air is introduced into the bottom space of the container 7o, and after mainly cooling the bottom wall 71, it is discharged through the cold air discharge lowers provided at the front of both sides of the lower part of the container 7Q. In this way, the container T.

Then, the material and ice crystals of the mix 78, which is in progress of freezing, are pulverized into fine particles by the swinging action of the stirring device 62 and the rotating action of the helical rotating body 66, and are stirred and mixed while being scraped off. As a result, the temperature of the mix 78 is uniformly lowered, and the ice crystals are dispersed and the viscosity increases, which further promotes the inclusion of air.At the same time, the stirring action causes the mix 78 to contain proteins and fat globules.

The crushed ice crystals, trapped air bubbles, etc. are dispersed and cooled to the freezing temperature range (approximately 16°C, although it varies depending on the material composition), and the mouthpiece remains smooth. , it becomes a so-called soft-serve ice cream state. A desired ice cream can be obtained by further advancing freezing from this state.
