Description

[0001] ARTIFICIAL SNOW FALLING MACHINE [0002]

The present invention relates to an artificial eye manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly, to an artificial eye manufacturing apparatus improved to make an artificial eye close to a natural state with a simple and simple configuration.

Artificial eyes are not caused by the circulation process of the winter atmosphere, but by forced labor by human efforts regardless of the season.

Such artificial snow is mainly used in winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, or snowballing, and there is a problem in that the natural snow is insufficient or the snow suitable for enjoying winter sports such as skiing apart from natural snow, In a large area in a predetermined area.

However, they require large facilities and thus are costly.

On the other hand, the artificial snow can be manufactured by small equipment, for example, in summer, it can close the natural taste of ice without cutting ice.

However, since most of these artificial snow manufacturing apparatuses are made to crush ice and blow snow to make artificial snow or to freeze water while spraying water with a high-pressure compressor, there are differences in various aspects such as natural snow, freezing and melting, There is a drawback that it is complicated and the structure is complicated.

The present invention is advantageous in that the structure is simple and simple to reduce the manufacturing cost, and the artificial eye closest to the natural eye can be made.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an apparatus for manufacturing an artificial eye according to the present invention; FIG.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Before describing the present invention, the following specific structural or functional descriptions are merely illustrative for the purpose of describing an embodiment according to the concept of the present invention, and embodiments according to the concept of the present invention may be embodied in various forms, And should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

In addition, since the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention can make various changes and have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention are not intended to limit the present invention to specific modes of operation, but include all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the artificial eye manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention includes a housing 100.

Since the housing 100 may have various shapes, the shape of the housing 100 is not limited, and it may be a box type in which a space and a flow path can be formed.

An air inlet 110 is formed on the front or rear surface of the housing 100, or both the front and rear surfaces of the housing 100.

The air inlet 110 is a passage for introducing outside air into the housing 100.

A blower 120 is installed inside the housing 100, which is above the air inlet 110.

The blower 120 is preferably an axial fan and blows up the air introduced through the air inlet 110.

At this time, the air supplied through the air inlet 110 should be at a temperature higher than room temperature maintained at 30-40 ° C, and the moisture content should be kept at least 30%.

This is to make ice crystals of a certain size while easily inflating ice nuclei.

In addition, the blower 120 should be configured to maintain a low pressure state of air blown up at a very low speed, such as 20-30 rpm.

To this end, a blower duct 130 is provided on the upper portion of the blower 120. The blower duct 130 is narrow in the downward direction and wide in the upward direction, and has a structure capable of lowering the pressure, Only such concepts need to be implemented.

An ice crystal nucleus generator 140 is installed in the blower duct 130.

The ice crystal nucleus generator 140 is provided in the water tank 150 storing water at 30-40 ° C, and may be a kind of ultrasonic vibrator.

Due to the water tank 150, the flow path of air blown by the blower duct 130 is narrowed by a distance d from the water tank 150. In the upper portion of the water channel 150, The diameter of the valve body is increased to several tens of times D, so that the principle of the expansion valve can be realized as it is.

Therefore, the air blown by the blower 120 passes through the narrow channel, and suddenly the pressure suddenly drops while meeting the wide flow path. Therefore, the low pressure state is maintained at the upper part of the ice crystal nucleus generator 140.

Herein, the ice core according to the present invention is generated by the concept of dynamic tuberculosis. The ice core nucleus is a basic particle for making eyes while making moisture become condensed around the ice core.

These ice nuclei usually refer to copper tuberculosis or sublimation nuclei. The tuberculosis refers to the formation of subcooled water droplets by freezing. The sublimation nuclei are sublimated directly from water vapor to form nuclei. In addition, Sand, fine clay particles, and volcanic ash.

In the present invention, in particular, the tuberculosis type eye is constructed to make eyes. Usually, at a temperature of -20 DEG C, there may be several copper tuberculosis per 1 liter of air. When the temperature is lowered, the number of tuberculosis increases sharply. Moreover, if the moisture content in the air exceeds 30%, the tuberculosis-producing water is significantly increased.

In view of this point, the present invention is constructed so as to be able to make eyes that are artificial but close to the natural eyes.

Meanwhile, a cooling chamber 160 having a predetermined size is provided on the ice crystal nucleus generator 140.

The cooling chamber 160 is a space where water vapor generated as a result of evaporation of water molecules is collected, and supercooling is performed, and in fact, dynamic tuberculosis is generated in this space.

An ice crystal growth chamber 170 is provided on one side of the cooling chamber 160 in a direction orthogonal to the housing 100 and an ice crystal A cooler 180 is incorporated.

Therefore, the cool air generated and supplied by the ice cooler 180 is cooled to the inside of the ice crystal growth chamber 170 as well as the inside of the cooling chamber 160, so that the dynamic tuberculosis can be easily generated, To grow.

Here, another concept for promoting the growth of the tuberculosis is included. This is because the base of the high pressure meets the base of the low pressure to form a cloud, and the natural phenomenon of making snow and rain is applied to the ice crystal growth chamber 170 is narrowed so as to increase the pressure inside the ice crystal growth chamber 170.

That is, the inside of the cooling chamber 160, which is the upper part of the ice crystal nucleus generator 140, coexists with the low pressure and the high pressure, and the active tuberculosis generation and growth are further promoted at the interface.

As a result, when the tubercle bacilli are discharged through the outlet of the ice crystal growth chamber 170, they are discharged with a considerable size of eyes and eyes close to natural eyes.

As described above, the artificial eye manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention is expected to be very simple because it can easily and quickly make artificial eyes close to natural state by applying natural phenomena as they are, while being very simple in structure.
