Description

Artificial snow manufacturing equipment {ARTIFICIAL SNOW GENERATING APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing artificial snow, and more particularly, skies, sledding, etc., when the snow is lacking in natural snow, the artificial snow is made and sprinkled while scattering water so as to contact the compressed internal air and external cold outside air The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing artificial snow, which can improve the spraying range so that it can be sprayed at various angles.

Generally, artificial snow sprayed on the slopes of ski resorts is not suitable for winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding or sledding, which are winter sports, or is not suitable for winter sports such as skiing. It means spray lamination.

This, artificial snow is made using an artificial snow manufacturing apparatus (not shown), which is when the high pressure water sprayed through a large number of sprinkling nozzles are water pellets are rapidly frozen by the external cold temperature is produced as artificial snow.

Looking at this, the artificial snow produced by the artificial snow manufacturing apparatus is the ice particles of the granules, that is, the water frozen at high speed and high pressure through the nozzle of the device is rapidly frozen.

This is essential in the recent outdoor ski slopes or sledding slopes, such as when the natural snow is running at any time to be able to manufacture artificial snow.

When the outside temperature is high, artificial snow is not properly made and particles of water droplets are thrown, which causes many difficulties.

In addition, despite the fact that the device cannot be discharged from the inside of the pipe after the operation of the artificial snow manufacturing device and the water must be stored after draining the filled water, the structure of the device is left as it is. The problem is that the user boils water and pours it into a blocked nozzle part or a pipe, or melts it with a heater to restart it.

If you do not pull out the water inside the pipe after use, the water accumulated inside is frozen, or it does not work smoothly when restarting.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the same problems as in the prior art, and its object is not only to allow mass production of artificial snow, but also to provide a manufacturing apparatus of artificial snow that can be sprayed over a large area by controlling the manufactured snow at various angles. have.

In addition, in order to make more artificial snow, if water is supplied to the annular pipe portion 42 and sprayed through the multi-hole injection nozzle portions 28a, 28b, 28c, 28d, 28e formed in the annular piping portion 42, The fine grains of water sprayed are blown off by the blowing fan 18 and turned into ice grains.

By supplying water to the multi-hole injection nozzles 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d, and 27e formed in the outermost annular pipe part 41 formed at the outermost part, more artificial snow can be made and sprayed.

The water distributor 39 of the present invention operates annular piping portions 41, 42, 43 for supplying water for making an artificial snow by operating a valve of the water distributor 39 or the like according to the amount of snow production. ), The amount of water injected can be controlled so that the amount of snow can be smoothly adjusted according to seasonal temperature conditions.

As described above, the amount of water can be adjusted by changing the amount of water supplied to the annular pipe parts 41, 42 and 43 by the water distributor 39 in just four steps. That is, for example, when the amount of artificial snow is reduced, water is supplied only to the annular pipe portion 43 and mixed while sprinkling compressed air into the annular pipe portion 44 simultaneously with the annular pipe portion 43. Is the first step.

In addition to the first stage, water is supplied to the annular piping portion 43 and the annular piping portion 42 at the same time.
