The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a portable artificial eye, comprising a compressor, an air regulator, an air line composed of an air cooling unit and an air dryer, and a water line composed of a water pressure pump, a water filter, and a fluid control valve.

In general, the apparatus for making artificial snow is largely divided into two types of guns or fan fans. Usually, 32m3 of snow is produced at -2 ° C, but 86 at -8 ° C. M3 can be made.

All of the above methods produce fine ice particles by spraying compressed or cooled air into the air below -3 ℃ by adiabatic expansion. The former mixes water and air to produce ice cores and water jets that are injected through nozzles. The latter is a method of making artificial snow by blowing ice cores and water particles injected through an external blower fan through a combination of nozzles for producing ice cores and several nozzles for supplying water. The apparatus for manufacturing artificial eyes to which the present invention is applied corresponds to the former case.

The following is a method of manufacturing artificial eyes using a device for making eyes in two types as described above.

First, a method of manufacturing snow by dispersing a high moisture absorbent resin (water absorbent polymer) in a brine pipe on a ski resort floor and placing the high moisture absorbent resin thereon to condense the high moisture absorbent resin with a brine pipe.

Secondly, by making ice chunks, breaking the chunks of ice into small pieces and dispersing the pieces of ice in the air so that the small pieces of ice are in the air, blowing water particles into the blower to make snow.

Third, a method of blowing cooling air to the water particles using a fan-shaped snow maker in a position adjacent to the device equipped with a plurality of injection nozzles.

Fourth, there is a method of manufacturing snow using natural cold air together with a dry snow maker having a bifluid nozzle for injecting water together with compressed air from a nozzle.

Patent Publication No. 1993-0004395 uses the third and fourth methods to blow cold air through a plurality of vents arranged on the walls of an indoor ski resort for indoor ski resorts to maintain the temperature inside the indoor ski resort below 0 ° C. Disclosed is a method of generating water droplets in a ski resort by injecting air and water from a twin fluid nozzle arranged on a wall of an indoor ski resort, and converting the droplets into snow that is cooled by the cold air and accumulated on the floor of the indoor ski resort. . However, the technique of Patent Publication No. 1993-0004395 has a problem in that it can be used only in a room where a space is provided because it is required to separately provide a plurality of blowers on the indoor wall and is not easy to use in an outdoor space.

The present invention corresponds to the fourth eye manufacturing method, and corresponds to the manufacturing method of the artificial eye having a bi-fluid nozzle for injecting water with compressed air through the injection nozzle.

However, the method of manufacturing the eye using the bifluid nozzle to which the present invention corresponds in the prior art has the following problems.

The equipment using the twin fluid nozzle is entirely dependent on foreign imports, so the equipment cost and operation cost are high. In addition, since it consists of only the ice core nozzle and the water nozzle has a disadvantage that can make the eyes stable only when the ambient temperature drops below -3 ℃.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, the cooling air to make the artificial snow more stably even at the freezing point (0 ℃) above the ice nuclear injection space, that is, a plurality of nozzles and the oblique angle By separately spraying the air cooled by the air cooling unit through the cooling air nozzle, it is possible to effectively produce snow in the outdoor space by minimizing the external influences such as the outside air temperature. Therefore, the intermittent operation can reduce the operating cost of the equipment.

In addition, the water discharge circuit for discharging water remaining in the pipe line by outside air conditions in winter and the air and water pressurized pump can be easily built-in by the self-contained artificial snow for easy installation and movement. It is to provide a manufacturing apparatus of.

The present invention, in order to achieve the above object, in the apparatus for manufacturing a portable artificial eye,

In the artificial eye manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, the air compressor and the water pressurizing pump are self-built, and the cooling air nozzle is configured to be sprayed at an angle to the air / water ice core nozzle at an angle.

In addition, a two-stage water solenoid valve connected to the two-stage water nozzle to control it, an outside temperature sensor for controlling the air cooling unit and the two-stage water solenoid valve according to the outside temperature, and water discharged to the fluid control valve Has a circuit. The fluid control valve may include a first fluid control valve, a second fluid control valve, and a third fluid control valve.

On the other hand, the method of cooling the air of the air cooling unit is preferably cooled by a heat exchanger (when the general refrigerant enters the compressor, it is changed into a gas of high temperature and high pressure state, the gas enters the condenser, After passing through the expansion valve, it becomes a liquid of low temperature and low pressure, and heat exchanges in the evaporator, so that the refrigerant takes away the latent heat of evaporation and turns into a gas, causing a drastic drop in the temperature of other materials) or a cryogenic air generator.

Furthermore, in the method of manufacturing artificial eyes,

Air / water ice core nozzles supply water and cooled air to make ice cores, and spray water cooled through the air cooling unit through the cooling air nozzles, spraying water particles around the ice cores through a water nozzle to artificially It grows snow, and the outside air temperature sensor controls the two-stage water solenoid valve and the air cooling unit according to the external temperature, and the water discharge circuit discharges the water remaining in the nozzle and the pipe to the outside by air pressure. It further comprises a step.

When the electrical controller that controls the system is activated, water and air are supplied to the air / water ice core nozzles to create ice cores, and water particles and two-stage nozzles spray water particles around the ice cores to grow artificial snow in the atmosphere. Trig. At this time, the two-stage water nozzle is used intermittently to increase the amount of snow when the ambient air temperature is low by the outside air temperature sensor.

The water filter serves to purify the water flowing through the water supply line, and the two-stage water solenoid valve is controlled by an electric controller according to the operation of the ambient temperature sensor and serves as a signal to operate the two-stage water nozzle. .

In addition, as the air is compressed and cooled while the equipment is operating, steam or the like is generated in the air line, and the air dryer serves to dry the generated steam and the like to supply purely purified cooling air. The air regulator regulates the amount of air generated by opening and closing the valve.

The cooling air nozzle is sprayed close to the air / water ice core nozzle by air that has been sufficiently cooled down by the air cooling unit to make the ice core more stable, which substantially reduces the outside air temperature conditions that can make snow. It satisfies the environment that can be made above freezing point (0 ℃) at about ℃.

The outside air temperature sensor serves as a signal to automatically operate the two-stage water nozzle, and when the outside air temperature is very low, it stops the operation of the air cooling unit.

As an air flow line connected to a fluid check valve, the water discharge circuit prevents freezing by driving the water remaining in the nozzle and the connected pipe to the outside by air pressure compressed by the air compressor when the equipment is to be shut down. The fluid control valve is locked so that no air is supplied during the operation of the equipment.
