Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an ice making method for making ozone ice or electrolytic ice from ozone water or electrolytic ion water that self-decomposes over time .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Ozone ice can be made by, for example, an ozone ice production apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-105568. This ozone ice manufacturing apparatus cools ozone water with an ice making machine to make ozone ice, and an auger type ice making machine is shown as an example of an ice making machine. Further, the above publication shows the relationship between ozone decomposition and temperature (the higher the temperature, the easier the ozone is decomposed).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the ozone ice production apparatus described in the above publication, ozone water is made by cooling ozone water with an ice making machine. In order to make complete ozone ice (ice that hardly contains water and is difficult to melt), an auger is required. It is necessary to use a specific ice maker other than the type ice maker (for example, a jet type ice maker), and a predetermined time (usually about 30 minutes) is required. Therefore, it takes a long time to make complete ice), so the amount of self-decomposition of ozone during the ice making process is large. Therefore, the ozone ice after ice making does not contain sufficient ozone, and such ozone ice may not provide the expected effects (effects such as sterilization, deodorization, and bleaching).
[0004]
On the other hand, when making ice by cooling ozone water with an auger type ice maker, ozone ice can be made in a shorter ice making process than the above jet type ice maker, but the ozone ice is not good. Because it is completely ice and contains a large amount of water that contains most of ozone, ozone decomposition in water is degraded in the time until subsequent use, although ozone decomposition is small in a short ice making process. In some cases, the expected effect may not be obtained when used.
[0005]
Incomplete ozone ice made with an auger type ice maker can be made into complete ice by putting it in a freezer, but the freezer is originally intended to store frozen items in a frozen state. Because it is intended for the purpose and is not intended to freeze things, it takes a long time to turn incomplete ozone ice into complete ice in a freezer. Self-decomposes. Therefore, in the end, substantially the same amount or more of ozone is decomposed from ozone water as in the case of making complete ozone ice with a specific ice making machine other than the above-mentioned auger type ice making machine. The effect expected in the same way as complete ozone ice made with a specific ice maker other than the type ice maker may not be obtained sufficiently.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention pays attention to the above-mentioned problem, and also pays attention to the above-mentioned problem also occurring when electrolytic ionic ice is produced from electrolytic ionic water generated by an electrolysis apparatus . Therefore, the present invention is an ice making method for making ozone water or electrolytic ionic water that self-decomposes over time, and the first ice making method according to the present invention uses the ozone water or electrolytic ionic water as an auger type ice making machine. ice to at a flake ice water-ice mixture, is characterized in that a complete ice frozen the flake ice by quick freezing compartment. The second ice making method according to the present invention is a method of making water with an auger type ice making machine to make water / ice mixed flake ice or compressed chip ice, and the flake ice or chip ice and the ice Ozone water or electrolytic ion water is mixed and frozen in a quick freezer to make complete ice .
[0007]
[Operation and effect of the invention]
In the first ice making method according to the present invention , ozone water or electrolytic ion water that self-decomposes with time is made by an auger type ice making machine to form water / ice mixed flake ice, which is frozen in a quick freezer. to a ice making method of a complete ice, to be able to complete the ice by brief freezing the flakes ice made in a short time at icemaker in quick freezer, ozone water or electrolyte ions Since complete ozone ice or electrolytic ion ice can be made from water in a short time, it is possible to make complete ice while suppressing the amount of self-decomposition of ozone or electrolytic ions. Therefore, the expected effect of ozone or electrolytic ions can be sufficiently obtained when using ozone ice or electrolytic ion ice. In addition, flake ice mixed with water and ice (imperfect ice with water that contains most of ozone or electrolytic ions) is frozen in a quick freezer to form complete ice. Since electrolytic ions can be uniformly dispersed throughout the entire ice, an equivalent effect can be expected at all times from the beginning to the end of use (between the start and end of melting of ice).
[0008]
Further, the first ice making method according to the present invention includes ozone water or electrolytic ion water that self-decomposes with time, water / ice mixed flake ice formed by making water with an auger type ice making machine, or compression of this. the ice chips and mixed comprising, which is ice making method of a complete ice frozen at a rapid freezer, cooling the ozone water or electrolytic ionic water in a short time at the flakes ice or ice chips The mixture of ozone water or electrolytic ionic water and the flake ice or chip ice can be made into complete ice by freezing in a quick freezer for a short time. Since simple ozone ice or electrolytic ion ice can be made in a short time, the amount of self-decomposition of ozone or electrolytic ions can be suppressed and perfect ice can be made. Therefore, the expected effect of ozone or electrolytic ions can be sufficiently obtained when using ozone ice or electrolytic ion ice. The mixture of ozone water or electrolytic ionic water and flakes or chip ice is frozen in a quick freezer to form complete ice, and the mixing ratio of ozone water or electrolytic ionic water and the flake ice or chip ice is determined. By appropriately setting, ozone water or electrolytic ion water can be spread over the whole flake ice or chip ice, and ozone or electrolytic ions can be accurately dispersed throughout the complete ice, The same effect can be expected at all times from the beginning to the end of use (from the beginning to the end of melting of the ice).

Therefore, the expected effect of ozone can be sufficiently obtained when the ozone ice C is used. In addition, flake ice B of water / ice mixed (incomplete ice with water containing most of ozone spread throughout) is frozen in the quick freezer 20 to complete ice C. Since it can be uniformly distributed over the entire ice C, an equivalent effect can be expected at all times from the beginning to the end of use (from the beginning to the end of melting of the ice).

Yes. If this ozone ice manufacturing apparatus is used, tap water D supplied to the ice making water tank 113 through the water supply pipe 111 and the water supply valve 112 is introduced into the ice making cylinder 115 of the auger type ice making machine 110 through the communication pipe 114 and this ice making cylinder 115 is provided. The ice can be frozen into flakes or chip ice E, which can be introduced into the ice storage 120 through the discharge tube 116 of the auger ice making machine 110 and stored and stored in the ice storage 120. Further, the flakes or chip ice E in the ice storage 120 is taken out by the scoop 150, and ozone water A (the same as that used in the embodiment of FIG. 1) is added to the flakes or chip ice E by the shower device 130. A predetermined amount is poured to mix ozone water A and flakes or chip ice E, and this mixture is placed in the quick freezer 140 and frozen in the quick freezer 140 to complete ice F.

The ice making method using the ozone ice making apparatus of FIG. 2 described above is a method of mixing ozone water A and flakes or chip ice E, and freezing them in the quick freezer 140 to make complete ice F. The ozone water A can be cooled with flakes or chip ice E in a short time, and the mixture of ozone water A and flakes or chip ice E can be completely frozen in the quick freezer 140 by short-time freezing. Since it can be made into the ice F and the complete ozone ice F can be made in a short time on the basis of the ozone water A, the complete ice F can be made while suppressing the self-decomposition amount of ozone.
