Description
【0001】0001
本考案は、製氷機で製氷されたほぼ均一形状の氷の搬送に適する垂直搬送装置 に関し、特にその水平搬氷部の構造に関するものである。 This invention is a vertical conveying device that is suitable for conveying almost uniformly shaped ice made by an ice maker. In particular, it concerns the structure of the horizontal ice carrying section.
【0002】0002
従来の自動製氷機にあっては、貯氷庫の前面に氷取り出しのための前面扉が設 けられ、この前面扉を開けて貯氷庫の氷を取り出していた。取り出し作業はスコ ップを用いて行うが、前面扉の位置によっては、取り出し作業は作業者にとって かなりの負担になる。 Conventional automatic ice makers have a front door at the front of the ice storage compartment to take out the ice. I opened this front door and took out the ice from the ice storage. The removal work is done at However, depending on the position of the front door, the removal work may be difficult for the worker. It becomes a considerable burden.
【0003】 そのため、貯氷庫に氷の垂直搬送装置を設け、貯氷庫内の氷をその上部に形成 された取出口より取り出すことが提案されていた。その場合、取出口への氷の搬 送にはコンベア装置(実開昭47−26162号公報)や、バケットエレベータ (実開昭48−77742号公報)が用いられていた。また、製氷機以外におい ても用いられる、砕氷された氷などの一般の氷の垂直搬送装置としては、スクリ ユー式搬送装置(実開昭56−130675号公報)や2本の無端搬送部材に多 数のレイキ手段を取り付けた砕氷供給装置(特公昭60−11792号公報)が 知られている。0003 Therefore, a vertical ice conveying device is installed in the ice storage, and the ice inside the ice storage is formed on the top. It was proposed to take it out from the outlet provided. In that case, transporting the ice to the outlet For transportation, a conveyor device (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 47-26162) or a bucket elevator is used. (Utility Model Application Publication No. 48-77742) was used. Also, odor other than the ice maker As a vertical conveyance device for general ice such as crushed ice, which is also used in The U-type conveyor (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-130675) and two endless conveyor members have many A crushed ice supply device (Japanese Patent Publication No. 11792/1983) equipped with several Reiki means is Are known.
【0004】 しかし、従来のコンベアを利用するコンベア装置にあっては、垂直に搬送する ことが困難で多大の面積を必要とし、バケットやレーキ手段を2本の無端搬送チ ェーンに取り付けたものにあっては、バケットを無端搬送チエーンより突出させ る分のスペースを必要とし、製氷機の貯氷庫のような狭い場所に配置するのが困 難であるばかりでなく、貯氷量によって搬送量が異なると共に、放出口の設定位 置が無端搬送チェーンの反転位置に限定されるという問題点があった。また、ス クリュー式の搬送装置では、スクリュー軸とその軸を囲む筒との間に氷を噛んで 故障の原因となり易く、また、氷の形状を損なうという問題点があった。0004 However, with conveyor equipment that uses conventional conveyors, the conveyor is transported vertically. It is difficult and requires a large amount of space, and the bucket and rake means are replaced by two endless conveyor chains. If the bucket is attached to an endless conveyor chain, the bucket should protrude from the endless conveyor chain. It requires a lot of space, making it difficult to place it in a narrow space such as the ice storage area of an ice maker. Not only is it difficult, but the amount of ice transported varies depending on the amount of ice stored, and the setting position of the outlet There is a problem in that the position is limited to the reversal position of the endless conveyor chain. Also, In a screw-type conveyor, ice is packed between the screw shaft and the cylinder surrounding the shaft. There were problems in that it easily caused failures and also damaged the shape of the ice.
【0005】 上述の問題点を解消するために、本出願人は、狭いスペースにも容易に配置す ることができ、且つ貯氷量の多少に拘わらずほぼ一定量の搬送を行いうる氷の垂 直搬送装置を提供することを目的として、一対の無端帯間に多数の横バーを所定 間隔で取り付けてなる無端搬送部材を水平搬氷部及び垂直搬氷部を通って循環走 行させる氷垂直搬送装置を実願平1ー142040号、同2ー118037号等 として先に出願した。この氷垂直搬送装置においては、氷は、水平搬氷部におい て隣接する横バー間に収容され、無端搬送部材の駆動により横バーに押されて水 平搬氷部から垂直搬氷部に運ばれ、同垂直搬氷部に沿って上動し、上方の放出部 から放出されるようになっている。[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the applicant has developed a system that can be easily placed even in narrow spaces. An ice droplet that can transport an almost constant amount regardless of the amount of ice stored. For the purpose of providing a direct conveyance device, a large number of horizontal bars are predetermined between a pair of endless bands. The endless conveying members installed at intervals are circulated through the horizontal ice carrying section and the vertical ice carrying section. Application No. 1-142040, Application No. 2-118037, etc. The application was filed earlier. In this vertical ice conveying device, ice is transported to the horizontal ice conveying section. The water is stored between adjacent horizontal bars, and is pushed by the horizontal bars by the drive of the endless conveying member. The ice is transported from the flat ice conveying section to the vertical ice conveying section, moves upward along the vertical ice conveying section, and is transported to the upper discharging section. It is designed to be emitted from

It is a resin cover.
【0013】[0013]
図6から分かるように、先行技術の水平搬氷部Aでは、カバー18の内側部1 8aは、横バー12の若干上で終端しているため、横バー12の両端部近傍にお いては、固定案内台1と横バー12との間に相当な大きさの隙間19が空いてい た。水平搬氷部A上に載置されている角氷13の上には、図示はしないが、別の 角氷が多数乗っているために、図示の角氷13は、上から押される力を受けて、 側方の隙間19に向かって移動しようとする。 As can be seen from FIG. 6, in the prior art horizontal ice conveying section A, the inner part 1 of the cover 18 8a terminates slightly above the horizontal bar 12, so it is located near both ends of the horizontal bar 12. In this case, there is a gap 19 of considerable size between the fixed guide stand 1 and the horizontal bar 12. Ta. Although not shown, on top of the ice cubes 13 placed on the horizontal ice conveying section A, there is another Because there are many ice cubes on top of it, the ice cube 13 shown in the figure receives a force pushed from above, and It tries to move towards the side gap 19.
【0014】 貯氷庫内にある角氷は、製氷機から供給された直後なら図6に示すような比較 的に整った形状を有し、しかも氷垂直搬送装置の設計に際して考慮された標準の 大きさを有するので、図6に示すような角氷13が上述した隙間19に入ること はないが、角氷は、貯氷庫内に長く貯留されているうちに、上述した力や温度変 化等のために砕片となったり、溶けて小片となり、異形氷が発生する。[0014] If the ice cubes in the ice storage are immediately supplied from the ice maker, the ice cubes in the ice storage will look like the comparison shown in Figure 6. It has a perfectly regular shape and has a standard shape that was taken into account when designing the vertical ice conveying equipment. Because of its size, ice cubes 13 as shown in FIG. 6 can fit into the above-mentioned gap 19. However, as ice cubes are stored in ice storage for a long time, they are subject to the above-mentioned forces and temperature changes. It becomes crushed pieces due to oxidation, etc., or it melts and becomes small pieces, producing irregularly shaped ice.
【0015】 かかる異形氷13’は、標準の角氷13よりも小さいために、図7から諒解さ れるように、隙間19に入り込んで、横バー12の走行の妨げとなって氷の搬送 に支障をきたしたり、異音発生の原因となっていた。また、正常な大きさ及び形 状の角氷であっても、それが傾斜して固定案内台1上に乗っていると、隙間19 側の角氷の上側角部が隙間19に入り込み、同様の問題を生じることが分かった 。[0015] As can be seen from FIG. 7, such irregularly shaped ice 13' is smaller than the standard ice cube 13. The ice may enter the gap 19 and obstruct the movement of the horizontal bar 12, causing ice to be transported. This was causing problems and causing abnormal noises. Also, normal size and shape Even if the ice cube is shaped like It was found that the upper corner of the side ice cube entered the gap 19, causing a similar problem. .
【0016】 従って、本考案の目的は、異形氷が発生しても、また、正常な角氷が傾斜して 載置されても、それにより搬氷に支障をきたしたり、異音が発生することのない 氷垂直搬送装置の水平搬氷部を提供することである。[0016] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to prevent abnormally shaped ice from occurring and normal ice cubes from tilting. Even if it is placed, it will not interfere with ice transport or cause abnormal noise. An object of the present invention is to provide a horizontal ice conveying section of a vertical ice conveying device.

この目的を達成するため、本考案によると、循環走行可能に支持された無端帯 と、同無端帯にその循環走行路に沿って所定間隔で装着された多数の横バーとか らなる無端搬送部材を少なくとも水平搬氷部及び垂直搬氷部を通って循環走行さ せる氷垂直搬送装置において、水平搬氷部は、横バーにより押されて垂直搬氷部 に向かって走行する角氷を下方から支持する固定案内台と、水平搬氷部における 横バーの両端部及び無端帯を上方から覆う一対の遮蔽カバーとを有し、該一対の 遮蔽カバーの各々と固定案内台との間に、横バーの端部近傍に位置するように、 一対の遮蔽カバーの間隔よりも狭い間隔で一対の隙間閉塞部材を設けている。 To achieve this objective, the present invention provides an endless belt supported in a circular manner. And a large number of horizontal bars attached to the same endless belt at predetermined intervals along the circulation path. The endless conveying member consisting of In the vertical ice conveying device, the horizontal ice conveying section is pushed by the horizontal bar to the vertical ice conveying section. A fixed guide table supports the ice cubes from below as they move towards the ice cubes, and a a pair of shielding covers that cover both ends of the horizontal bar and the endless band from above; between each of the shielding covers and the fixed guide platform, so as to be located near the end of the horizontal bar; The pair of gap closing members are provided at an interval narrower than the interval between the pair of shielding covers.
【0018】[0018]
無端搬送部材を駆動することにより、無端帯とそこに装着された横バーとは水 平搬氷部を経由して垂直搬氷部に向かって走行する。水平搬氷部においては、固 定案内台上に角氷が乗っており、それを横バーが押して垂直搬氷部に運ぶ。 By driving the endless conveying member, the endless belt and the horizontal bar attached thereto are separated by water. It travels via the flat ice carrying section towards the vertical ice carrying section. In the horizontal ice conveying section, Ice cubes are placed on a fixed guide table, and a horizontal bar pushes the ice cubes to transport them to the vertical ice transport section.
【0019】 水平搬氷部では、一対の遮蔽カバーが横バーの両端部の走行路を上から遮蔽し ており、また、一対の隙間閉塞部材が固定案内台と各遮蔽カバーとの間の隙間を 閉塞している。そのため、異形氷が発生しても、それが固定案内台と遮蔽カバー との間に食い込んで異音発生の原因となったり、横バーの走行を妨害したりする ことがない。しかも、隙間閉塞部材の間隔は遮蔽カバーの間隔よりも狭い。その ため、正常な大きさ及び形状の角氷が斜めに傾いて固定案内台上に乗っても、そ の角部が隙間に入り込むこともない。[0019] In the horizontal ice carrying section, a pair of shielding covers shields the travel path at both ends of the horizontal bar from above. In addition, a pair of gap closing members closes the gap between the fixed guide table and each shielding cover. It's blocked. Therefore, even if irregularly shaped ice occurs, it will be removed between the fixed guide stand and the shielding cover. It may get stuck between the bar and the bar, causing abnormal noise or interfering with the running of the horizontal bar. Never. Moreover, the interval between the gap closing members is narrower than the interval between the shielding covers. the Therefore, even if an ice cube of normal size and shape is tilted diagonally and rests on the fixed guide table, it will not The corners will not get into the gaps.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts. In addition, the horizontal ice conveying section of this invention Although the structure can be implemented, for example, in a vertical ice conveying device as shown in FIG. Since this is related to the structure of the ice conveying section, other parts of the vertical ice conveying device are, for example, It is possible to make various modifications other than those shown in Figure 5, such as tilting the emitting part upward. Therefore, the horizontal ice conveying section structure of the present invention can be implemented using a vertical ice conveying device of the type shown in Fig. 5. It is not limited to the location.
【0021】 図1は、本考案による水平搬氷部Aの第1実施例を示す縦断面図で、これは先 行技術の図6に相当している。図1において、16は横バー12を無端帯である チェーン3に取り付けるための取付具であり、ガイドレール2、2は図示を省略 した取付具によって固定案内部1に互いに離間して取り付けられており、また、 18は氷垂直搬送装置用のステンレス製又は合成樹脂製の一対の遮蔽カバーであ る。同遮蔽カバー18の内側部18aは、横バー12の若干上で終端しており、 それ等の間には、横方向に所定数の正常な角氷13(製氷機から供給された時の 形状及び大きさに近いか或は実質的に相当する角氷)をちょうど収容しうるよう な幅W2の空間がある。FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a first embodiment of a horizontal ice conveying section A according to the present invention, which corresponds to FIG. 6 of the prior art. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 16 denotes a fixture for attaching the horizontal bar 12 to the chain 3, which is an endless band, and the guide rails 2, 2 are attached to the fixed guide part 1 at a distance from each other by fixtures (not shown). 18 is a pair of shielding covers made of stainless steel or synthetic resin for the vertical ice conveying device. The inner side 18a of the shielding cover 18 terminates slightly above the horizontal bar 12, and between them a predetermined number of normal ice cubes 13 (in the shape when supplied from the ice maker) are arranged laterally. There is a space of width W 2 just enough to accommodate an ice cube of similar or substantially equivalent size.
【0022】 上述した遮蔽カバー18の各内側部18aに対向して、該内側部18aとの間 に横バー12の端部12aの走行を許容する間隙を残して、断面L字形の隙間閉 塞部材もしくは隙間閉塞板20が固定案内台1から上方に延びている。この隙間 閉塞部材20は、それが設けられていなければ存在する隙間19を閉塞する。両 隙間閉塞部材20の垂直部20a間の幅W1 は、図示のように遮蔽カバー18間 の幅W2よりも若干狭い。Opposed to each inner side 18a of the shielding cover 18 described above, a gap closing member having an L-shaped cross section is provided, leaving a gap between the inner side 18a and the inner side 18a to allow the end 12a of the horizontal bar 12 to run. Alternatively, the gap closing plate 20 extends upward from the fixed guide stand 1. This gap closing member 20 closes the gap 19 that would otherwise exist. The width W 1 between the vertical portions 20a of both gap closing members 20 is slightly narrower than the width W 2 between the shielding covers 18 as shown.
【0023】 尚、実施例とは逆に、幅W1が幅W2よりも図2に示すように広い場合、遮蔽カ バー18の内側部18aが隙間閉塞部材20の垂直部20aよりも内側に位置す るようになるため、正常な角氷13が傾斜して固定案内台1上に乗ると、その下 側角部から上方に延びる角氷辺13aの上端にある上側角部が内側部18aと垂 直部20aとの間に入り込み、横バー12の走行を妨害したり異音発生の原因と なったりする。従って、幅W1 は、内側部18aの下端と隙間閉塞部材20の垂 直部20aの上端との間の水平方向の幅W3 で示す部分から図示しない屑氷がチ ェーン3側に入り込まない程度に、幅W2 よりも若干狭くなければならない。ま た、内側部18aの下端と隙間閉塞部材20の垂直部20aの上端との間の垂直 方向の幅W4 は、この幅の部分を横バー12が走行しうる程度に狭いことが好ま しい。Note that, contrary to the embodiment, when the width W 1 is wider than the width W 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, when a normal ice cube 13 is tilted and placed on the fixed guide table 1, the upper corner at the upper end of the ice cube side 13a extending upward from the lower corner becomes the inner part 18a. This may get between the vertical portion 20a and obstruct the movement of the horizontal bar 12 or cause abnormal noise. Therefore, the width W 1 is set to such an extent that ice chips (not shown) do not enter the chain 3 side from the horizontal width W 3 between the lower end of the inner part 18a and the upper end of the vertical part 20a of the gap closing member 20. , must be slightly narrower than the width W 2 . Further, the width W 4 in the vertical direction between the lower end of the inner portion 18a and the upper end of the vertical portion 20a of the gap closing member 20 is preferably narrow enough to allow the horizontal bar 12 to run in this width portion.

Extends into the space surrounded by the fixed guide table 1 to virtually eliminate gaps. are doing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the inner portion 18a' functions as a gap closing member. ing. Note that the lower end of the vertical leg portion 18b of the shielding cover 18 is horizontally bent outward and A flat portion 18c is formed.
【0026】 図4においては、遮蔽カバー18には内側部が設けられておらず、その代わり に、ほぼL形の隙間閉塞部材20が、横バー12の走行を許容する程度の隙間を 遮蔽カバー18の上側水平部18dとの間に残して、可能な限り上方に延びてい る。尚、この実施例では、貯氷庫底部の損傷を防止するため、ゴムもしくはプラ スチックのように弾性を有することが好ましいキャップ22が遮蔽カバー18の 垂直部18bの下端と固定案内台1の垂直部1aの下端とに図示のように嵌合し ている。[0026] In FIG. 4, the shielding cover 18 is not provided with an inner portion, but instead The approximately L-shaped gap closing member 20 creates a gap large enough to allow the horizontal bar 12 to run. The upper horizontal portion 18d of the shielding cover 18 is left between the upper horizontal portion 18d and extends upward as far as possible. Ru. In this example, rubber or plastic is used to prevent damage to the bottom of the ice storage box. A cap 22, which is preferably elastic like a stick, is attached to the shielding cover 18.

本考案によると、水平搬氷部は、一対の遮蔽カバーの各々と固定案内台との間 に、横バーの端部近傍に位置するように、一対の遮蔽カバーの間隔よりも狭い間 隔で一対の隙間閉塞部材を設けているので、圧力や温度の変化を受けて正常な大 きさ及び形状の角氷が小片や砕片となって異形氷が発生しても、かかる異形氷は 隙間閉塞部材により阻止されて無端帯側に入ることがなく、また、正常な角氷が 傾斜して固定案内台上に乗ってもその上側角部が隙間に入ることがない。これに より、バランスを崩して落下しようとしている氷が引っ掛かったまま垂直搬氷部 へ搬送されることはない(即ち正常な角氷は整列して横バー間に収容される)た め、異音が発生したり、無端帯もしくは横バーの走行に支障が生ずるような事態 を回避することができる。 According to the present invention, the horizontal ice conveying section is arranged between each of the pair of shielding covers and the fixed guide platform. In this case, the space between the shielding covers is narrower than the distance between the pair of shielding covers, so as to be located near the end of the horizontal bar. A pair of gap closing members are installed at intervals, so the normal size will not be affected by changes in pressure or temperature. Even if irregularly shaped ice cubes become small pieces or broken pieces, such irregularly shaped ice The gap closing member prevents the ice cubes from entering the endless belt side, and normal ice cubes are prevented from entering the endless band. Even if the fixed guide stand is tilted and climbed on, its upper corner will not enter the gap. to this Ice that has lost its balance and is about to fall is caught in the vertical ice conveyor. (i.e. normal ice cubes are stored between the horizontal bars in a lined manner) situation that may cause abnormal noise or hinder the running of the endless belt or horizontal bar. can be avoided.
