The inside of the molding recess 2 of the other (upper) molding B communicates with the outside of the molding B so that the molten water in the molding recess 2 can be discharged, and the material ice mass and the molding ice mass are adsorbed by the molding recess 2. A drainage / suction passage 4 is provided to enable this.

The drain hole 3 is formed so that water (melted water) melted from the material ice block can be smoothly discharged without remaining in the molding recess 1. That is, it is configured to prevent the molded ice block from being formed into a desired shape by the water in the molded recess 1 dissolving the material ice block.
In addition, the drainage hole 3 can be appropriately provided with suction means so that the molten water in the molding recess 1 can be discharged more smoothly.

Further, the drainage suction passage 4 is formed so that the water (melted water) melted from the material ice block in the molding recess 2 can be sucked up from the molding recess 2 and discharged more smoothly. Yes. That is, the melted water in the molding recess 2 melts the lower material ice block, thereby preventing the molded ice block from being formed into a desired shape.
In addition, the drainage suction passage 4 is formed so that the raw ice block and the molded ice block can be adsorbed by the molded recess 2. When the material ice block is adsorbed, the material ice block does not move in the horizontal direction with respect to the upper molded body B, and the formed ice block is adsorbed by adsorbing the formed ice block formed in a desired shape. It is configured so that the removal can be performed smoothly, smoothly and quickly.

Furthermore, an appropriate number of ice block guide holes 15 are provided at appropriate positions on the separation joint surface of at least the lower molded body A (or the upper molded body B or the pair of molded bodies A and B). A displacement preventing member 16 formed of a material having a low thermal conductivity that hardly melts the material ice block is disposed on a part of the inner peripheral surface 15.
That is, when the raw ice block is melted by the pair of molded bodies A and B, the raw ice block remains in the ice block guide hole 15 portion, and the raw ice block in the ice block guide hole 15 is prevented from being displaced. Since it does not melt when it is in contact with the two, it is configured so that the movement of the raw material ice block with respect to the pair of molded bodies A and B in the horizontal direction can be reliably regulated. As a result, it is possible to manufacture molded ice blocks that match the molded recesses A and B, and to reduce the occurrence of defective products.
Moreover, the material ice block in the ice block guide hole 15 does not need to be melted any more, and the amount of heat held by the molded bodies A and B is not wasted.

Further, the method for producing a molded ice block of the present invention is such that one molded body A of a pair of molded bodies A and B formed of a material having high thermal conductivity such as aluminum is disposed below, and this lower molded body is molded. A material ice block of a predetermined size is arranged in the molding recess 1 portion of the body A, and the other molding body B having the molding recess 2 is lowered toward the lower molding body A by the guide means, and a pair of molding bodies A and B are used. While sandwiching the material ice block, the material ice block in contact with the molded products A and B is gradually melted by the temperature difference between the material ice block and the molded products A and B. It melts only by the amount of heat held by the molded bodies A and B so as to match, and forms a desired molded ice block.
Then, when the material ice block is sandwiched between the pair of molded bodies A and B, the inside of the molded recess 2 is utilized using the drainage suction passage 4 that communicates the inside of the molded recess 2 of the upper molded body B and the outside of the molded body B. The negative pressure is applied to adsorb the ice blocks of the material, and the molten water in the molding recess 2 is sucked and forcibly discharged. Also, the molding is performed by using the drain hole 3 of the molding recess 1 of the lower molding A and an appropriate suction means. While making the inside of the recessed part 1 into a negative pressure, the molten water in the shaping | molding recessed part 1 is attracted | sucked and forcedly discharged.

  Then, when the raw ice block matches the shape of the molding recesses 1 and 2 and is molded into the desired molding ice block, the suction of the molten water in the molding recess 1 in the lower molding A is stopped, and the upper molding is performed. As the body B rises, the molded ice block is lifted while being sucked, and a receiving device 25 is arranged between the lower molded body A and the upper molded body B, and air is fed into the drainage suction passage 4 to form the molded body. The ice block is allowed to fall and be received by the receiver 25.

The molded bodies A and B are made of a material having high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, copper, an appropriate alloy, and an appropriate ceramic, and are cooled in the vicinity of the molded recesses 1 and 2 while melting the material ice block. The heat from the other part (the part excluding the vicinity of the molding recesses 1 and 2) whose temperature is higher than the temperature of this part is quickly transferred, so that it does not drop rapidly, and the material ice block is removed from the molding recess 1. A material that can be melted continuously and rapidly in two parts is adopted.
In addition, the molded bodies A and B are set so as to have a volume (amount of heat) that does not reach the same temperature (0 degree Celsius) as the material ice block until at least the material ice block is formed in the molding recesses 1 and 2. Is desirable.
In addition, each of the pair of molded bodies A and B is formed in a substantially rectangular thick plate shape so that the seating is improved when the molded bodies A and B are installed, and the separation joining surfaces are flat surfaces. By the way, the separation joining surface of the lower molded body A is constituted by an inclined surface whose peripheral portion is inclined obliquely downward so that the melted water that has melted from the material ice lump smoothly flows outward from the separation joining surface. It may be formed.
The pair of molded bodies A and B may be integrally formed, for example, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, or two divided molded bodies B1, B2 may be connected via packing B3.

The guide means includes, for example, a plurality of guide rods 10 erected perpendicularly to the upper surface (separation joint surface) of one (lower) molded body A and the lower surface (separation) of the other (upper) molded body B. The guide rod 10 is made of, for example, a metal (or may be made of a synthetic resin) and has a substantially elongated rod shape. The hole 11 is formed so that the guide rod 10 can slide smoothly without rattling. That is, the upper molded body B is formed so as to be smoothly spaced apart and approached to the lower molded body A so that each of the separation joint surfaces can be accurately brought into contact with no gap.
The specific configuration, shape, dimensions, material, number, arrangement position, etc. of the guide means, the guide rod 10 and the guide hole 11 are not limited to the illustrated examples, but a pair of molded bodies A, B may be any structure that has a simple structure and can be stably separated and approached, and may use power (for example, a hydraulic cylinder) or the like as appropriate in addition to gravity.

  By the way, the molded bodies A and B are arranged not only vertically as shown in the figure, but also horizontally and diagonally, and the molded bodies A and B are appropriately provided with hydraulic means or springs. You may comprise so that a separation | spacing approach may be carried out by a means etc. (not shown). That is, after the pair of molded bodies A and B are in close contact with each other and the molded ice block is formed, when the pair of molded bodies A and B are separated from each other, the molded ice block is automatically removed from the molded recesses 1 and 2. It may be configured to fall so that the molded ice block can be easily taken out.

The molding recesses 1 and 2 may be formed, for example, in a hemispherical shape as shown in the figure, or may be appropriately shaped like a character, a shape imitating a natural object, or a geometric shape. Can do. Moreover, a plurality of molding recesses 1 and 2 are provided so that a large number of molded ice blocks can be produced at one time. Note that the molding recesses 1 and 2 may be only one set.
In addition, the molding recesses 1 and 2 are appropriately provided with housing recesses on the separation joint surfaces, and molding blocks of the same material as the molded bodies A and B that are mounted to be compatible with the housing recesses are formed. The surface may be recessed (not shown). That is, it becomes possible to use the molding recesses 1 and 2 having different shapes by exchanging the molding blocks, and it is also possible to easily provide various shapes of molded ice blocks.

The drain hole 3 is constituted by, for example, a small through hole provided downward from the lowest part of the molding recess 1 of the molded body A below, and water (melted water) melted from the material ice block is molded recess. It is provided so that it can be smoothly discharged out of the molded body A without staying within 1.
Further, the drainage hole 3 may be formed in a substantially planar annular shape so as to surround the lowest part of the molding recess 1 of the molded body A below, and water (melted water) melted from the material ice block is formed into the molding recess. In addition to being able to be discharged smoothly outside the molded body A without staying within 1, the surface of the molded ice mass may be formed more beautifully.

The drainage combined suction path 4 includes, for example, a vertical hole 4a drilled upward from the top of the molding recess 2 of the upper molded body B, and a horizontal hole 4b communicating with the upper portion of the vertical hole 4a. The water melted from the material ice block in the molding recess 2 (melted water) is reliably sucked upward from the molding recess 2 and smoothly discharged out of the molding B without falling downward. It is provided so that it can. In addition, when the material ice block is adsorbed by the suction action at this time, the material ice block is prevented from moving in the horizontal direction with respect to the upper molded body B, and further formed into a desired shape. By adsorbing the molded ice blocks, the molded ice blocks can be easily taken out (taken out of the molded concave portion 1 of the lower molded body A).
Further, the vertical hole 4a of the drainage suction passage 4 may be formed in a substantially planar annular shape so as to surround the topmost portion of the molding recess 2 of the upper molded body B, and water that has melted from the material ice block ( The melted water) can be discharged more smoothly outside the molded body B, and the surface of the molded ice block can be formed more beautifully (see FIG. 10).

5 in the figure is, for example, an attachment portion such as a hose 6 that communicates with the lateral hole 4b and is disposed on the side surface of the molded body B, 7 in the figure is an automatic switching valve, and 8 in the figure is an on-off valve. is there.
The automatic switching valve 7 can be switched by one touch, for example, the air supplied from a compressor or the like is supplied to the on-off valve 8 or the lateral hole 4b is supplied to the side. For example, the on-off valve 8 is configured so that the air supplied from the automatic switching valve 7 can be discharged to the outside or closed or switched. The
That is, when the air supplied from the compressor or the like passes through the automatic switching valve 7 and the on-off valve 8 and is released to the outside air, a negative pressure is generated in the lateral hole 4b of the automatic switching valve 7 and the drainage A suction force is generated in the molding recess 2 via the dual-purpose suction path 4 (see FIG. 9).
Further, by closing the on-off valve 8, air supplied from a compressor or the like is supplied to the lateral hole 4 b of the automatic switching valve 7, passes through the drainage suction passage 4, and enters the molding recess 2. The formed ice block that has flowed and been adsorbed can be dropped downward.

The ice lump guide holes 15 have, for example, a circular hole shape, and a plurality of ice hole guide holes 15 are arranged at appropriate positions on the separation joint surface of the lower molded body A (or the upper molded body B or the pair of molded bodies A and B). It is installed. Moreover, it is drilled downward so as to penetrate the molded body A from the separation joint surface.
The deviation preventing member 16 is made of, for example, a material having a low thermal conductivity (for example, a synthetic resin material) that hardly melts the material ice block, and further, on the inner peripheral surface of the ice block guide hole 15. In addition to being disposed near the separation joint surface, the surface is disposed so as to be flush with the inner peripheral surface.
That is, when the material ice block is melted at the separation joint surface portion of the pair of molded bodies A and B, the material ice block is melted even at the ice block guide hole 15 portion, and the material ice block is integrally connected in the ice block guide hole 15. It will remain in the state.
At this time, material ice mass of the ice mass guide hole 15, which hardly umbrella soluble when in contact with the anti-displacement member 16, do not occur moves in the horizontal direction of ice blocks in the plurality of ice blocks guide hole 15 The movement in the horizontal direction of the entire material ice mass relative to the pair of molded bodies A and B can be reliably controlled.
The deviation preventing member 16 may be provided in the circumferential direction on the inner surface of the ice block guide hole 15 or may be provided only in a part in the circumferential direction. However, what is provided only in a part in the circumferential direction needs to be arranged so that the direction in the circumferential direction of the deviation preventing member 16 provided in the other ice block guide hole 15 is different. That is, the plurality of deviation preventing members 16 can prevent the ice block from moving in the horizontal direction.

Further, 20 in the figure is a liquid passage provided in an appropriate number so as to penetrate a pair of molded bodies A and B in the horizontal direction, and a hose or the like can be attached to both ends of the liquid passage 20. A mounting portion 21 is provided.
And the said liquid flow path 20 is comprised so that water (tap water), hot water, other liquids, etc. may be allowed to pass through in a pair of molded object A, B, and the water or hot water in the liquid flow path 20 is passed. By passing, the molded bodies A and B that have been cooled can be easily returned to temperatures at room temperature.
That is, once a molded ice block is manufactured and the amount of heat held by the pair of molded bodies A and B is greatly deprived, water (tap water), hot water, and other liquids are allowed to pass through the liquid passage 20. Thus, the molded bodies A and B quickly return to the temperature at room temperature (so that the pair of molded bodies A and B can retain a predetermined amount of heat) so that the next operation can be performed without loss of time. As a result, the formed ice block can be continuously formed, and the work can be efficiently performed. In particular, it is easy to use tap water and the like, and these can be easily realized.
In addition, the liquid flow path 20 should just be what can cool the molded object A and B which was cooled efficiently to about normal temperature, for example, what was distribute | arranged linearly may be sufficient, and curvilinear ( It may be arranged in an arc shape, a spiral shape, etc., or may be formed in any other suitable shape, arranged in an arrangement position, or an appropriate number.
Further, for example, when the molded bodies A and B are each composed of two divided molded bodies B1 and B2 as shown in FIG. 10, the liquid flow path 20 is formed on the surface of one divided molded body B1. And the open portion of the liquid passage 20 may be closed with the other divided molded body B2 via the packing B3.
By the way, the liquid passage timing to the liquid passage 20 may be after the melting of the material ice block and after the molded ice block is taken out, or during the melting of the material ice block, or continuously. Alternatively, it may be appropriately performed while measuring the temperatures of the molded bodies A and B. Moreover, it can be used not only to return the molded bodies A and B cooled to about room temperature (or higher than room temperature) but also to lower the temperature of the molded bodies A and B as required. That is, when the molded ice blocks are appropriately formed from the raw ice blocks, even if it takes time to take out the molded ice blocks by making the temperature of the molded bodies A and B themselves close to the molded ice blocks, Consideration can be given so that it does not melt too much.

  The receiver 25 is configured to be freely disposed below the molded ice block sucked by the molding recess 2 of the upper molded body B, and air is fed into the drainage / suction passage 4 for molding. When the ice block is dropped, it is configured to be received softly without failing to damage it.

Then, the raw material ice block that has been formed in a predetermined size in advance is placed on the separation joint surface of the lower molded body A, and the upper molded body B is lowered to form the raw material ice block in a pair of molded bodies A. , B (see FIGS. 2 and 4). Note that the lowering of the upper molded body B is performed using gravity, but for example, oil pressure, elastic force of a spring, or the like may be used.
Moreover, when the material ice block is sandwiched between the pair of molded bodies A and B, the inside of the molded concave portion 2 is utilized using the drainage suction passage 4 that communicates the inside of the molded concave portion 2 of the upper molded body B and the outside of the molded body B. The negative pressure is applied to adsorb the material ice block, and the molten water in the molding recess 2 is sucked and forcibly discharged.
At this time, the inside of the molding recess 1 is made negative by using the drainage hole 3 that communicates the inside of the molding recess 1 of the lower molding A and the outside of the molding A and an appropriate suction means, and adsorbs the material ice block and molding The molten water in the recess 1 is sucked and forcibly discharged.

Then, using the temperature difference between the raw material ice block and the pair of molded bodies A and B, the raw material ice block in contact with the molded bodies A and B is gradually melted.
Then, the material ice mass is melted only by the amount of heat held by the molded bodies A and B so as to match the shape of the molding recesses 1 and 2 (at this time, water, hot water, etc. are passed through the liquid passage 20). Also, the desired ice block is formed.
Further, when the material ice block matches the shape of the molding recesses 1 and 2 and is molded into a desired molded ice block, the molded ice block is lifted while being sucked together with the upward molding B. At this time, the suction of the molten water in the molding recess 1 of the lower molded body A is stopped, and the drain hole 3 is left open so that the molded ice block can be raised smoothly.
