On the other hand, of the undiluted solution that has not been frozen, it returns to the tank 103 through the gutter 102.
【０００５】 また、図４に示すように、前記製氷機１００にあっては、脱氷サイクルにおい て、製氷板１０１ａ，１０１ａの冷却作動及び前記循環ポンプＰ１の作動を停止 するとともに、循環ポンプＰ２を作動させて、原液を、タンク１０３、第２連結 管１０７、第２デストリビュータ１０６ａを経て第２散水チューブ１０６に供給 する。第２散水チューブ１０６から散水された原液は、図４内矢印で示すように 、製氷板１０１ａ，１０１ａの内面を伝って広がりつつ流下し、製氷板１０１ａ ，１０１ａの温度を上げる。その結果、前述のように凍り付いた氷板ａは、その 接着面が融解して製氷板１０１ａ，１０１ａから離脱、脱氷して落下する。そし て、この製氷板１０１ａ，１０１の内面を流下した原液は、樋１０２内を経て前 記タンク１０３に戻る。Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the ice making machine 100, in the deicing cycle, the cooling operation of the ice making plates 101a and 101a and the operation of the circulation pump P1 are stopped and the circulation pump P2 is stopped.

ところで、原液は、製品である氷となるものであるから不純物が混合していな い高水質のものを用いる必要がある。特に、食品に関連した分野で使用するもの は、衛生上、水質を規準値以上に保たなければならないことが義務づけられてい る。そして、前記従来の製氷機は、上述のように原液が脱氷用の液体をも兼ねて いるので、大量の水を常に規準値以上に保たなければならず、不経済であるとい う問題点がある。 By the way, since the stock solution becomes the product ice, it is necessary to use a high-quality solution that is not mixed with impurities. Especially, those used in food related fields are required to keep the water quality above the standard value for hygiene. Further, in the conventional ice-making machine, since the stock solution also serves as the de-icing liquid as described above, it is necessary to keep a large amount of water at or above the standard value, which is uneconomical. There is a point.

本考案は、前記目的を達成するために、例えば、原液タンク６から送られた原 液たる果汁を原液散水チューブ７，７から散水することによって、冷却機構（図 示せず）を備えた、所定間隔をおいて起立状態で対向させた一対の製氷板３ａ， ３ａの各外面に流下して結氷させた氷板（図示せず）を、該両製氷板３ａ，３ａ の内面に脱氷水を流下させ、製氷板３ａ，３ａ・・・の温度を上昇させることに よって、前記氷板の接着部分を融解し、製氷板３ａ，３ａ・・・外面から離脱し て脱氷させるように構成した複数の製氷部材３・・・を設け、前記製氷板３ａ， ３ａ・・・の下縁を閉塞して脱氷水を回収するための脱氷水樋２を形成する一方 、前記製氷板３ａ，３ａ・・・の下縁に沿った下方に、果汁を回収するための原 液樋４を設け、該原液樋４と前記脱氷水樋２との異なる経路で、果汁と脱氷水と を各別に誘導するよう構成した。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is provided with a cooling mechanism (not shown), for example, by sprinkling fruit juice, which is the undiluted solution sent from the undiluted solution tank 6, from undiluted solution sprinkling tubes 7, 7. An ice plate (not shown) that has flowed down to the outer surface of each of the pair of ice making plates 3a, 3a facing each other at an interval with a space between the ice making plates 3a, 3a has deiced water flowing down.

氷結サイクルにおいては、先ず、製氷板３ａ，３ａを冷却するとともに、原液 タンク６内の果汁を原液散水チューブ７，７に送り込む。この原液散水チューブ ７，７から散水された果汁は、製氷板３ａ，３ａの外面を伝って広がりつつ流下 し、製氷板３ａ，３ａの外面で結氷し、ここに氷板となって凍り付く。該果汁の うち結氷せずに流下したものは、原液樋４を経て前記原液タンク６に戻る。一方 、脱氷サイクルにおいては、脱氷水入口管２６から脱氷水供給ヘッダー８ａを経 て脱氷水を送り込むと、脱氷水散水チューブ８から散水された脱氷水が、製氷板 ３ａ，３ａ内面を伝って広がりつつ流下し、製氷板３ａ，３ａの温度を上げる。 その結果、前述のように凍り付いた状態の氷板は、その接着面が融解し製氷板３ ａ，３ａから離脱、脱氷して落下する。製氷板３ａ，３ａ内面を流下したこの脱 氷水は、脱氷水樋２から所定の経路に誘導する。また、融解した前記果汁は、原 液樋４から前記原液タンク６に戻る。このように、果汁と脱氷水とを異なる経路 に誘導して処理するので、脱氷水の水質は規準値以下であっても問題がなく、果 汁のみの高水質を保てば十分であり、水質管理費を減らし製氷コストを低減し得 る。 In the freezing cycle, first, the ice making plates 3a, 3a are cooled and the fruit juice in the stock solution tank 6 is fed into the stock solution spray tubes 7, 7. The juice sprinkled from the undiluted solution sprinkling tubes 7 and 7 flows down while spreading along the outer surfaces of the ice making plates 3a and 3a, and freezes on the outer surfaces of the ice making plates 3a and 3a to freeze as ice plates there. The juice that has flowed down without freezing returns to the stock solution tank 6 through the stock solution gutter 4. On the other hand, in the de-icing cycle, when de-icing water is sent from the de-icing water inlet pipe 26 through the de-icing water supply header 8a, the de-icing water sprinkled from the de-icing water sprinkling tube 8 travels along the inner surface of the ice making plates 3a, 3a. It spreads and flows down to raise the temperature of the ice making plates 3a, 3a. As a result, as described above, the frozen ice plate has its adhesive surface melted, and is detached from the ice making plates 3a, 3a, deiced and falls. The de-icing water that has flowed down the inner surfaces of the ice making plates 3a, 3a is guided from the de-icing water gutter 2 to a predetermined path. Further, the melted fruit juice returns from the stock solution trough 4 to the stock solution tank 6. In this way, since the juice and de-icing water are guided by different routes and treated, there is no problem even if the quality of the de-icing water is below the standard value, and it is sufficient to maintain the high quality of the juice alone. It can reduce water quality management costs and ice making costs.

【００１６】 一方、脱氷サイクルにおいては、製氷板３ａ，３ａの冷却及び前記循環ポンプ Ｐの作動を停止するとともに、脱氷水入口管２６から脱氷水を送り込むと、図２ 内矢印で示すように、脱氷水が、脱氷水散水チューブ１０から製氷板３ａ，３ａ 内面を伝って広がりつつ流下し、製氷板３ａ，３ａの温度を上げる。その結果、 前述のように凍り付いた状態の氷板は、その接着面が融解し製氷板３ａ，３ａか ら離脱、脱氷して落下する。そして、前記脱氷水は、脱氷水樋２から脱氷水回収 トラフ５に流れ込み、ここから脱氷水出口管２７を経て外部に排水される。On the other hand, in the deicing cycle, when the cooling of the ice making plates 3a, 3a and the operation of the circulation pump P are stopped and deicing water is fed from the deicing water inlet pipe 26, as shown by an arrow in FIG. The de-icing water flows down from the de-icing water sprinkling tube 10 while spreading along the inner surfaces of the ice making plates 3a, 3a to raise the temperature of the ice making plates 3a, 3a. As a result, as described above, the frozen ice plate has its adhesive surface melted, is separated from the ice making plates 3a, 3a, is deiced, and falls. Then, the de-icing water flows into the de-icing water recovery trough 5 from the de-icing water gutter 2 and is discharged to the outside through the de-icing water outlet pipe 27.

Will flow from the de-icing water sprinkling tube 8 through the de-icing water trough 2 and into the de-icing water recovery trough 5, and the fruit juice and the de-icing water will not mix. Therefore, since there is no problem even if the quality of de-icing water is below the standard value, it is sufficient to manage the water quality of only fruit juice, and it is not necessary to keep the quality of all liquids used above the standard value as in the conventional example. Therefore, there is an advantage that the water quality management cost can be reduced and the ice making cost can be reduced.

It spreads and flows down to raise the temperature of the ice making plates 3a, 3a. As a result, as described above, the frozen ice plate has its adhesive surface melted, and is detached from the ice making plates 3a, 3a, deiced and falls. The de-icing water that has flowed down the inner surfaces of the ice making plates 3a, 3a is guided from the de-icing water gutter 2 to a predetermined path. Further, the stock solution was thawed, returns from the original Ekitoi 4 to the stock solution tank 6. Thus, since the process to induce the stock solution and de ice water to different paths, quality of de-ice water there is no problem or less reference value, it is sufficient to maintain the high quality of only the original solution, It can reduce water quality management costs and ice making costs.

【００１５】 次に、前記実施例の製氷機による製氷工程を述べる。結氷サイクルにおいては 、先ず、製氷板３ａ，３ａを冷却するとともに、循環ポンプＰを作動させて、タ ンク６内の原液を、原液供給管９から原液供給ヘッダー７ａを経て原液散水チュ ーブ７，７に送り込む。図２の矢印で示すように、原液散水チューブ７，７から 散水された原液は、製氷板３ａ，３ａの外面を伝って広がりつつ流下し、製氷板 ３ａ，３ａの外面で結氷し、ここに氷板（図示せず）が凍り付く。そして、該原 液 のうち結氷せずに流下したものは、原液樋４を経て再び前記原液タンク６に戻 る。また、原液散水チューブ７，７から洗浄ヘッダー７ｂ側に達した散水しきれ なかった余分の原液は、原液回帰管１０を経て原液タンク６に戻る（止弁１７及 び止弁１８を開放し、止弁２１を閉塞する）か、第１直通管１１を経て原液供給 管９に搬送される（止弁１７及び止弁２１を開放し、止弁１８を閉塞する）。さ らに、原液タンク６内の原液が減少した時には、前記原液入口管１２から補充す る。さらにまた、製氷機１から原液を排水する時には、止弁２０を開放して原液 タンク６内からタンクドレン１４を経て、また切替弁２５の切り換えにより原液 供給管９内から原液回収管１５を経て、それぞれ図示しない外部の収容部に収容 する。なお、水量調整弁２２，２３，２４を調整することにより、原液回帰管１ ０、原液入口管１２及び原液供給管９の原液通過量を制御することが可能である 。Next, the ice making process by the ice making machine of the above embodiment will be described. In the freezing cycle, first, the ice making plates 3a, 3a are cooled, and the circulation pump P is operated to move the stock solution in the tank 6 from the stock solution supply pipe 9 through the stock solution supply header 7a. , 7. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 2, has been stock solution watering from stock watering tube 7,7, ice making plates 3a, it flows down while spreading along the outer surface of 3a, and ice on the outer surface of the ice making plates 3a, 3a, here An ice plate (not shown) freezes. Then, those flows down without freezing of the raw liquid, Ru back again to the stock solution tank 6 via the concentrate gutter 4. Further, the excess undiluted solution that has not reached the washing header 7b side from the undiluted solution sprinkling tubes 7 and 7 returns to the undiluted solution tank 6 through the undiluted solution return pipe 10 (the stop valves 17 and 18 are opened, The stop valve 21 is closed) or is conveyed to the stock solution supply pipe 9 via the first direct pipe 11 (the stop valves 17 and 21 are opened and the stop valve 18 is closed) . Et al is, when the suspension in the stock solution tank 6 decreases, you replenished before Symbol stock inlet pipe 12. Further, when draining the stock solution from the ice making machine 1, through the tank drain 14 from a stock solution tank 6 by opening the stop valve 20, also stock recovery pipe from the raw liquid supply pipe within 9 by cutting conversion example of the changeover valve 25 After passing through 15, they are housed in respective external housings (not shown). By adjusting the water amount adjusting valves 22, 23, 24, it is possible to control the amount of undiluted solution passing through the undiluted solution regression pipe 10 , the undiluted liquid inlet pipe 12, and the undiluted liquid supply pipe 9.
【００１６】 一方、脱氷サイクルにおいては、製氷板３ａ，３ａの冷却及び前記循環ポンプＰの 作動を停止するとともに、脱氷水入口管２６から脱氷水を送り込むと、図２ 内矢印で示すように、脱氷水が、脱氷水散水チューブ１０から製氷板３ａ，３ａ 内面を伝って広がりつつ流下し、製氷板３ａ，３ａの温度を上げる。その結果、 前述のように凍り付いた状態の氷板は、その接着面が融解し製氷板３ａ，３ａか ら離脱、脱氷して落下する。そして、前記脱氷水は、脱氷水樋２から脱氷水回収 トラフ５に流れ込み、ここから脱氷水出口管２７を経て外部に排水される。[0016] On the other hand, in the de-ice cycle, the ice making plate 3a, stops the operation of the cooling and before Ki循 ring pump P of 3a, when the de-ice an inlet pipe 26 feeds the de-ice water, shown in the Figure 2 arrow As described above, the de-icing water flows down from the de-icing water sprinkling tube 10 while spreading along the inner surfaces of the ice-making plates 3a, 3a to raise the temperature of the ice-making plates 3a, 3a. As a result, as described above, the frozen ice plate has its adhesive surface melted, is separated from the ice making plates 3a, 3a, is deiced, and falls. Then, the de-icing water flows into the de-icing water recovery trough 5 from the de-icing water gutter 2 and is discharged to the outside through the de-icing water outlet pipe 27.
【００１７】 このように、本実施例の製氷機は、原液散水チューブ７，７から散水された原 液 が、結氷したものを除いて、原液樋４を経て原液タンク６に戻る一方、脱氷水 は脱氷水散水チューブ８から脱氷水樋２を経て、脱氷水回収トラフ５に流入する ことになり、原液と脱氷水は混じることがない。したがって、脱氷水の水質が規 準値以下であっても問題がないから、原液のみの水質管理で足り、従来例のよう に、使用する全ての液体の水質を規準値以上に保つ必要がないので、水質管理費 を減らし製氷コストを低減し得るという利点を有する。[0017] Thus, the ice making machine of the present embodiment, the raw liquid is sprinkled from a stock solution watering tube 7, 7, with the exception of those ice, the program returns to the stock solution tank 6 via the concentrate gutter 4, de-ice Will flow from the de-icing water sprinkling tube 8 through the de-icing water trough 2 and into the de-icing water recovery trough 5, and the stock solution and the de-icing water will not mix. Therefore, since there is no problem even if the quality of de-iced water is below the standard value, it is sufficient to control the water quality of only the undiluted solution , and it is not necessary to keep the quality of all the liquids used above the standard value as in the conventional example. Therefore, there is an advantage that the water quality management cost can be reduced and the ice making cost can be reduced.
