Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention is a method for producing so-called bulk ice made in an electric refrigerator or the like.
Using a machine on the stand, you can switch between water and crushed ice as needed to make ice cubes.
This is a machine that can be used for both ice cutting and ice crushing to obtain ice cubes at will.

(Conventional technology and its problems) Conventionally, when snow-like ice or chunky ice is required, emphasis is placed on the quality and processing capacity of each, and it is usual to install dedicated ice shavers and ice crushers. However, recently, restaurants and the like have started to demand machines that have both of these functions due to convenience.

This kind of thing is published by Special Publication No. 59-50036 and Utility Model Publication No. 59.
-143282.

Among these, the one published in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-50036 is
An ice-breaking cutter is fixed at a position slightly lower than the surface of the case facing the outlet of the storage case, and the outlet in front of the cutter is opened and closed with a variable lever that opens and closes the Y product to a smaller size when cutting ice and a larger size when breaking ice. However, since the ice-breaking blade is fixed at the above-mentioned position, the loose ice tends to jump during ice-breaking, resulting in a situation where it slides upward. Also, Utsukai Showa 59-1432
In Publication No. 82, two openings are required on the side wall of the water storage chamber (case) because the liquid medicine blade facing the discharge port and the crushing blade in front of it protrude inward of the case.
In addition, when the crushing blade acts on para-ice, the area of the rear discharge port is made larger, and the discharge port 6 is made smaller when cutting ice.
Since the ice cubes move in and out in the opposite direction to the crushing blade, they are interlocked by a link mechanism, so the loose ice rotating inside the case is these 2F! Since it passes through the opening of q, there is a lot of friction, and the link lfl structure is also relatively complicated.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional devices mentioned above, and includes a rotary blade that rotates within a cutting case, and a water dispenser installed in the case. In the case where the blade is equipped with a discharge port facing the rear edge, the area of the discharge port is expanded so as to face the ice feeding direction, and it is possible to climb up to the outside of the central part in the length direction of the discharge port and rotate. When cutting ice, a cutter block supported by a block and equipped with a plurality of ice-breaking blades at appropriate intervals is rotated so that the ice-breaking blades are tilted forward so that the front part of the outlet is flush with the inside of the case. According to the W511, only the front part of the liquid medicine blade is opened, and when ice is crushed, the ice crushing blade is rotated so as to protrude into the case, thereby opening the front part of the blocked discharge port. By rotating the cutter block by operating the handle, the outlet can be used for either purpose, making it possible to produce both liquid medicine and ice crushing in one machine.

(Example) Embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The liquid agent blade (4) is moved in and out of the discharge port (3) in a conventional manner, and when ice is to be crushed, it is removed from the inner surface of the cutting case (1) as shown in Fig. 2.6.

In each of the above examples, the cutting case (1) is shown to have an inverted conical shape, but it is also possible to use a cylindrical cutting case in which the discharge port (3) is provided on the peripheral surface, or a plate-shaped lower surface with the discharge port provided in the plate. The present invention can also be applied to those provided.

(Effects of the Invention) As clarified by the two embodiments shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the present invention reduces the area of the discharge port (3) that is provided in the cutting case (1) and faces the liquid dosing knife (4). Spread out facing the ice feeding direction, there is a conventional shaved ice discharge opening (1) in front of the liquid agent blade (4).

The crushed ice can be discharged to the outside from the crushed ice discharge opening (16) of the discharge port (3) opened by the protrusion of the ice discharge port (12), and the area of the - discharge ports (3) is expanded as described above. Since the opening of the cutter block is changed to be used for liquid medicine or ice crushing by rotating the cutter block, the protrusion opening for the ice crushing blade is provided separately in the cutting case, or is connected to the protrusion of the ice crushing blade.
It is easy to cause malfunctions such as moving the outlet cover that makes up the blade opening on the front of the liquid medicine sword to the outside! There is no need to equip a complicated fi structure, and by simply moving the cutter block (9) in two positions as described above, it is possible to switch between the production of water and ice crushing. It has the effect of making it easier to perform fewer operations.
