Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing ices via rapid ice facture and rapid ice thaw, and more particularly to, an apparatus for manufacturing ices via rapid ice facture and rapid ice thaw in which a material such as drinks, the juice of fruits or the juice of vegetables is frozen at once in a tray-shaped evaporation dish to manufacture ices such as sherbets, ice creams, or ice cakes. Also, in the case that different kinds of ices are sequentially manufactured, the evaporation dish is rapidly heated to easily melt and remove the remainder of the ices stained in the evaporation dish.

  • liquid particles are effectively separated from coolant gas re-circulated to a compressor after performing an ice thawing operation, to thereby prevent the compressor from being in trouble.
  • various kinds of drinks such as Fanta® (of Coca Cola Co., Ltd.), soda pop, coke, and juice, various kinds of teas such as milk, coffee, cocoa, or green-tea, juice of fruits such as apples, pears, and oranges, and juice of vegetables such as carrot and turnip, can be manufactured as ices by using a variety of ice making apparatuses such as a refrigerator.
  • a particular ice making apparatus is used in convenience stores, so that products of ices can be manufactured on a considerable business scale to a certain degree.
  • a conventional apparatus for manufacturing ices via rapid ice facture and rapid ice thaw was proposed and disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-open Publication No. 2001-25688 on Apr. 6, 2001 (in correspondence to Korean Patent Application No. 2001-2640 on Jan. 17, 2001 and Korean Patent Registration No. 0430923 on Apr. 29, 2004) by the same applicant as that of the present invention, in order to solve problems of the conventional ice making apparatus or ice maker and manufacture products of ices needed instantly.
  • a compressor 11 , a condenser 13 , an electronic valve 24 a, an expansion valve 14 and an evaporator 12 are sequentially connected and installed in a box-shaped case 25 , via coolant tubes.
  • a bypass tube 15 having an electronic valve 24 is connected between a coolant tube connecting the compressor 11 and the condenser 13 and a coolant tube connecting the condenser 13 and the evaporator 12 .
  • the evaporator 12 is of a tray-shaped form, so that a flat plate shaped coolant pipe 22 is formed on the bottom of an evaporation dish 21 which is exposed upwards in the box-shaped case 25 .
  • An insulation material 23 surrounding the coolant pipe 22 is installed on the lower portion of the coolant pipe 22 and the entire outer surface.
  • FIG. 2 another example of an evaporation dish is used for the above-described ices manufacturing apparatus which was filed by the same applicant as that of the present invention.
  • a coolant pipe 32 is integrally installed on the bottom of the evaporation dish 31 .
  • the insulation material 33 is installed on the bottom of the coolant pipe 32 .
  • the coolant pipe 22 or 32 installed on the bottom of the evaporation dish 21 or 31 is configured to form a coolant flow path in a zigzag fashion, or in a horizontal multi-tube pattern.
  • the coolant having passed the condenser 13 , the electronic valve 24 a and the expansion valve 14 from the compressor 11 is supplied to the coolant pipe 22 or 32 of the evaporation dish 21 or 31 constituting the evaporator 12 . Accordingly, materials such as various kinds of drinks or juice of fruits or vegetables are frozen instantly. As a result, ices such as ice creams or ice cakes are manufactured.
  • the coolant used for manufacturing ices is recollected by the compressor 11 so as to be re-used for manufacturing ices.
  • the electronic valve 24 a toward the expansion valve 14 is closed and simultaneously the electronic valve 24 installed in the bypass tube 15 is opened. Accordingly, high-temperature coolant gas is directly supplied via the coolant pipe 22 or 32 of the evaporation dish 21 or 31 . As a result, products of ices stained on the surface of the evaporation dish 21 or 31 are easily melted and removed at a very fast time. That is, the different kinds of products of ices can be sequentially manufactured within a fast time, and also taste of each product of ices is not mixed with the other.

  • a relatively expansive electronic valve is used as the expansion valve 14 .
  • the entire structure of the ices making apparatus becomes complicated somewhat and the manufacturing cost of the apparatus becomes high. Accordingly, it is difficult to provide a less expansive ices making apparatus to an ices manufacturer having a volume of a small-scale business based on multiple products and a small quantity of production.
  • switches which individually operate electronic valves 24 and 24 a are installed in the outer portion of a box-shaped case 25 .
  • users should recognize exactly whether a corresponding switch is used for which one of ice facture and ice thaw, and thus manipulate the ices making apparatus based on the recognized result.
  • a separate guiding information or diagram regarding manipulation of a corresponding switch should be provided on the case 25 . Accordingly, additional expenses are needed to form an outer pattern on the box-shaped case 25 , which has caused an undesirable problem to occur when it is considered that a production cost of the ices making apparatus should be reduced.
  • the electronic valves 24 and 24 a can be controlled by a single switch.
  • an additional electronic control component such as a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) should be additionally installed between the switch and the electronic valves 24 and 24 a, which has also caused an undesirable problem to occur when it is considered that a production cost of the ices making apparatus should be reduced.
  • a separate timer is installed so that a time for performing ices thawing operation as in the conventional ices making apparatus does not exceed a predetermined time. In this way, the operation of the compressor 11 can be controlled. Likewise, this also becomes an additional factor which increases a production cost of the ices making apparatus.

  • the capillary tube 26 plays a role of supplying condensed coolant at a decompressed state using a pressure drop occurring due to a pressure difference between the capillary tube 26 and the coolant tube before the condensed coolant whose temperature is lowered while having passed through the condenser 13 from the compressor 11 is supplied via the evaporator 12 .
  • the capillary tube 26 is very simple in structure and low in price in comparison with the conventional electronic expansion valve. Also, the capillary tube 26 can be easily installed along the coolant tube in the form of a single tube.
  • the decompressed state of the condensed coolant via the capillary tube 26 can be achieved in very various forms according to diameters and shapes of the capillary tube 26 , it is desirable to select and use a capillary tube having an appropriate diameter according to an exhaust pressure of the coolant based on a capacity of the compressor 11 .
  • the capillary tube 26 can be bent in a spring shape or a waveform. In this manner, a passing time of coolant is delayed.
  • diameter of the capillary tube 26 can be formed slightly larger than 0.6 mm.
  • a tube having a fine diameter of 0.1 mm or less should be used.
  • a position where the capillary tube 26 is installed should be a position before a connection portion where the bypass tube 15 is connected with the coolant tube, so that high-temperature coolant is naturally introduced via the coolant pipe 22 or 32 in the evaporation dish 21 or 31 due to a pressure difference occurring between the capillary tube 26 and the coolant tube during operating at an ice thawing mode.
  • a liquid particle separator 27 called an accumulator for separating liquid particles from coolant gas flowing in the compressor is installed in the coolant tube connecting the evaporator 12 and the compressor 11 .

  • a material for manufacturing ices that is, various drinks, the juice of fruits or the juice of vegetables are contained in the evaporation dish 21 , and then is frozen for manufacturing the ices.
  • the electronic valve 24 installed in the bypass tube 15 is closed and simultaneously the compressor 11 is operated. Accordingly, coolant flows along the coolant tune according to a freezing cycle which is performed via the condenser 13 , the capillary tube 26 and the evaporator 12 from the compressor 11 .
  • the coolant flows via the coolant pipe 22 in the evaporation dish 21 constituting the evaporator 12 and simultaneously the coolant absorbs external heat to then be evaporated and thus freeze the material contained in the evaporation dish 21 rapidly.
  • the various ices materials are rapidly frozen, averagely within several seconds, and manufactured into sherbets, ice creams, and ice cakes.
  • a freezing temperature of the materials contained in the evaporation dish 21 that is, an evaporation temperature of the coolant is maintained at a temperature of about ⁇ 30° C., it takes about ten seconds until an ice facture is completed.

  • the electronic valve 24 installed in the bypass tube 15 should be opened to make high-temperature coolant discharged from the compressor 11 directly introduced via the coolant pipe 22 in the evaporation dish 21 .
  • Such a melting and removing work of the remainder of ices frozen and attached to the surface of the evaporation dish 21 is naturally accomplished via the capillary tube 26 .
  • the coolant gas introduced via the coolant pipe 22 in the evaporation dish 21 does not pass through the condenser 13 and the capillary tube 26 playing a role of an expansion valve, the coolant gas is maintained at a high-temperature and high-pressure state, to thus make temperature of the evaporation dish 21 rapidly raised. Accordingly, the remainder of ices frozen and attached to the evaporation dish 21 is melted and removed very rapidly.

Accordingly, various ices such as sherbets, ice creams or ice cakes can be easily manufactured. Also, in the case that different kinds of ices are sequentially manufactured, the electronic valve 24 installed in the bypass tube 15 is made open so that the evaporation dish 21 can be quickly heated. Accordingly, the remainder of ices stained on the evaporation dish 21 can be easily melted and removed to thus prevent the taste of the newly manufactured ices from being mixed with that of the previously manufactured ices.
  • the ices making apparatus includes the capillary tube 26 of a simple structure installed in the coolant tube connecting the condenser 13 and the evaporator 12 , differently from the conventional ices making apparatus filed by the same applicant as that of the present invention, in which the capillary tube 26 plays a role of an expansion valve and an electronic valve simultaneously. Accordingly, the overall structure of the ices making apparatus becomes very simple. Also, the ices making apparatus according to the present invention does not use an expansion valve and an electronic valve corresponding to the electronic type valve. Accordingly, a production cost for manufacturing the ices making apparatus can be reduced.

Accordingly, a user can manipulate the ices making apparatus without having any confusion of an ice facture state and an ice thaw state. Also, a separate guiding information or diagram regarding manipulation of a corresponding switch need not be indicated on the box-shaped case 25 . Also, an additional electronic control component need not be installed between the switch and the electronic valve 24 , to thus be contributed for reduction of a production cost of the ices making apparatus.
