次に、製氷機10の製氷プログラムについて説明する。製氷機10の始動時には予備的に除氷運転を実行し、製氷部11の製氷小室13内に氷が必ず残っていない状態とする。除氷運転では、圧縮機31を作動させた状態でホットガス弁36を開放するとともに、開閉機構23のアクチュエータモータ23aにより水皿22を開放位置に傾動させる。圧縮機31から送出されるホットガスはホットガス管35を通って蒸発器34に導かれて製氷部11の各製氷小室13を加温する。温度センサ37の検出温度が除氷が完了したことを検知する所定温度として5℃以上となると、制御装置40は、製氷部11の製氷小室13に氷が残ってない、即ち除氷が完了していると検知して、ホットガス弁36を閉止する。ホットガス弁36を閉止すると、圧縮機31から圧送された冷媒がホットガス管35を通過しないようになって凝縮器32に送られるようになり、凝縮器32により液化された液化冷媒は電子膨張弁33により膨張して低圧の液化冷媒となり、低圧の液化冷媒は蒸発器34で気化することにより製氷部11を冷却する。また、制御装置40は、開閉機構23のアクチュエータモータ23aにより水皿22を閉止位置に傾動させるとともに、給水弁24bを開放することで製氷水タンク21に製氷水を供給する。制御装置40は製氷水タンク21が所定水位となると給水弁24bを閉止して給水を終了する。   Next, the ice making program of the ice making machine 10 will be described. At the start of the ice making machine 10, the deicing operation is preliminarily carried out, and it is assumed that ice is not always left in the ice making compartment 13 of the ice making unit 11. In the deicing operation, the hot gas valve 36 is opened in a state where the compressor 31 is operated, and the water pan 22 is tilted to the open position by the actuator motor 23a of the open / close mechanism 23. The hot gas delivered from the compressor 31 is led to the evaporator 34 through the hot gas pipe 35 to heat the ice making compartments 13 of the ice making unit 11. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37 reaches 5 ° C. or higher as a predetermined temperature for detecting completion of deicing, the control device 40 does not have ice remaining in the ice making compartment 13 of the ice making unit 11, that is, deicing is complete. And the hot gas valve 36 is closed. When the hot gas valve 36 is closed, the refrigerant pressure-fed from the compressor 31 does not pass through the hot gas pipe 35 and is sent to the condenser 32 so that the liquefied refrigerant liquefied by the condenser 32 has electronic expansion. The expansion is performed by the valve 33 to be a low pressure liquefied refrigerant, and the low pressure liquefied refrigerant is vaporized by the evaporator 34 to cool the ice making unit 11. Further, the controller 40 tilts the water tray 22 to the closing position by the actuator motor 23a of the opening / closing mechanism 23 and supplies the ice making water to the ice making water tank 21 by opening the water supply valve 24b. When the ice making water tank 21 reaches a predetermined water level, the control device 40 closes the water supply valve 24 b to end the water supply.

製氷部11にて予め除氷運転を実行した後で、制御装置40は、製氷部11にて製氷運転と除氷運転を繰り返し実行する。上述したように、ホットガス弁36を閉止すると、圧縮機31から圧送された冷媒が凝縮器32により液化されて液化冷媒となり、液化冷媒は電子膨張弁33により膨張して低圧の液化冷媒となって製氷部11の蒸発器34に送られる。このとき、送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11に製氷水を送出開始するまでは、製氷水を冷却する必要がないので、製氷部11を冷却するのに要する負荷が小さく、制御装置40は、電子膨張弁33の開度を最大と最小との中間よりも小さく、具体的には、製氷部11の温度が0℃以下となったときに制御する電子膨張弁33の開度と同等の開度となるように制御している。このように、製氷部11を冷却するのに要する負荷が小さなときには、電子膨張弁33の開度を絞って小さくするようにして、製氷部11を温度の低い冷媒によって素早く冷却するようにしている。   After performing the deicing operation in advance in the ice making unit 11, the control device 40 repeatedly executes the ice making operation and the deicing operation in the ice making unit 11. As described above, when the hot gas valve 36 is closed, the refrigerant pressure-fed from the compressor 31 is liquefied by the condenser 32 to become a liquefied refrigerant, and the liquefied refrigerant is expanded by the electronic expansion valve 33 to become a low pressure liquefied refrigerant It is then sent to the evaporator 34 of the ice making unit 11. At this time, since it is not necessary to cool the ice making water until the water making pump 11 starts delivering the ice making water to the ice making unit 11, the load required to cool the ice making unit 11 is small. The opening degree of the valve 33 is smaller than the middle between the maximum and the minimum, and specifically, the opening degree equivalent to the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 controlled when the temperature of the ice making unit 11 becomes 0 ° C. or less It is controlled to become. As described above, when the load required to cool the ice making unit 11 is small, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is squeezed to be small, and the ice making unit 11 is quickly cooled by the low temperature refrigerant. .

製氷運転では、上記のように製氷部11を十分に冷却した状態で、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11の各製氷小室13に送出開始する。製氷水タンク21内の製氷水は製氷部11との間を循環する前であるために温度が低くないので、製氷部11で製氷水を冷却するための負荷が高いことになる。製氷部11に製氷水を送出開始するときに、製氷部11の温度が0℃以下となったときに制御する電子膨張弁33の開度と同様の開度で製氷部11に冷媒を送出すると、製氷部11の全体に冷却に必要な冷媒を届けることができないおそれがある。また、製氷部11に多くの冷媒を送る必要があるにもかかわらず、温度センサ37の検出温度に基づいて電子膨張弁33の開度を制御すると、電子膨張弁33の開度を応答性よく制御できないおそれがある。このため、この製氷機10の制御装置40は、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11の各製氷小室13に送出開始するときに、電子膨張弁33の開度を所定の開度として、製氷部11の温度が0℃以下となったときに制御する電子膨張弁33の開度よりも大きな開度となるように制御している。これによって、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11の各製氷小室13に送出開始するときに、温度センサ37の検出温度に基づかずに電子膨張弁33の開度を十分な冷媒を送出できる開度で制御して、製氷部11に応答性をよく多くの冷媒を送出することができるようになった。   In the ice making operation, with the ice making unit 11 sufficiently cooled as described above, the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is started to be delivered to the ice making compartments 13 of the ice making unit 11 by the water supply pump 25. The temperature of the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is not low because it is before it is circulated between the ice making unit 11 and the load for cooling the ice making water in the ice making unit 11 is high. If the temperature of the ice making unit 11 becomes 0 ° C. or less when the ice making water is started to be supplied to the ice making unit 11, the refrigerant is sent to the ice making unit 11 with the same opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 to be controlled. The refrigerant necessary for cooling may not be delivered to the entire ice making unit 11. Moreover, although it is necessary to send many refrigerants to the ice making unit 11, if the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is controlled based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is responsive There is a possibility that it can not be controlled. Therefore, when the controller 40 of the ice making machine 10 starts the delivery of the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 to the ice making compartments 13 of the ice making unit 11 by the water feeding pump 25, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is predetermined. The opening degree is controlled to be larger than the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 which is controlled when the temperature of the ice making unit 11 becomes 0 ° C. or lower. Thus, when the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is started to be delivered to the ice making chamber 13 of the ice making unit 11 by the water feeding pump 25, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is sufficiently based on the detection temperature of the temperature sensor 37. It became possible to send out a large amount of refrigerant with good responsiveness to the ice making unit 11 by controlling at an opening degree at which the refrigerant can be sent out.

また、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11に送出開始してから温度センサ37の検出温度の上昇が停止するまで、上述したように電子膨張弁33を所定の開度以上で制御して、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水が十分に冷却されるまで、製氷部11に応答性をよく多くの冷媒を送出するようにして、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水が冷却される時間を短くするようにしている。また、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水は製氷部11との間を循環して徐々に冷却され、製氷部11の製氷小室13で製氷水を凍結させるには、製氷部11の蒸発器34に送られる冷媒の流量を抑えることで過熱度を上昇させて製氷部11の温度を低く冷却する必要がある。このため、製氷水タンク21の製氷水がある程度冷却されて、温度センサ37の検出温度が下降し始めると電子膨張弁33の開度を小さくするように制御している。これ以後については、制御装置40は、温度センサ37の検出温度に基づいて電子膨張弁33の開度を徐々に小さくするように制御して、製氷部11の製氷小室13内で製氷水を凍結させる。特に、温度センサ37により検出される製氷部11の検出温度が0℃以下となったときには、製氷部11では製氷水を冷却する負荷が小さくなっているので、制御装置40は電子膨張弁33の開度を小さく絞るようにすることで、製氷部11は開度が絞られて温度の低くなった冷媒によって製氷水が凍結するように冷却される。   Also, as described above, the electronic expansion valve 33 is opened by a predetermined degree until the start of delivery of the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 to the ice making unit 11 by the water supply pump 25 and the rise of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37 is stopped. By controlling as described above, a large amount of refrigerant is responsively delivered to the ice making unit 11 until the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is sufficiently cooled, and the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is cooled. To reduce the time it takes to The ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 circulates between the ice making unit 11 and is gradually cooled, and in order to freeze the ice making water in the ice making chamber 13 of the ice making unit 11, the evaporator 34 of the ice making unit 11 is used. It is necessary to lower the temperature of the ice making unit 11 to lower the temperature of the ice making unit 11 by increasing the degree of superheat by suppressing the flow rate of the refrigerant to be sent. Therefore, when the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is cooled to a certain extent and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37 starts to decrease, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is controlled to be small. Thereafter, the control device 40 controls the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 to be gradually decreased based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37 to freeze the ice making water in the ice making chamber 13 of the ice making unit 11. Let In particular, when the detection temperature of the ice making unit 11 detected by the temperature sensor 37 becomes 0 ° C. or lower, the load for cooling the ice making water in the ice making unit 11 is small. By narrowing the opening degree, the ice making unit 11 is cooled so that the ice making water is frozen by the refrigerant whose opening degree is reduced and the temperature is lowered.

製氷部11は温度センサ37の検出温度に基づいて電子膨張弁33の開度を制御された状態で冷却され、製氷水タンク21から噴射送出される製氷水は製氷小室13内で徐々に凍結し、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水が徐々に減少する。このとき、温度センサ37の検出温度を−5℃〜−15℃となるように電子膨張弁33の開度を制御すると、クラックの少ない透明度の高い氷を製造することができる。温度センサ37の検出温度に基づく製氷の完了の検知としては、製氷部11の温度が0℃に達したときから単位時間毎に検出した温度センサ37の検出温度と単位時間との積である単位積算数値を求め、これら単位積算数値を順次加算した加算合計数値が目標積算値となると、制御装置40は製氷小室13内にブロック形の氷が形成されて製氷が完了したことを検知して、送水ポンプ25の駆動を停止させて製氷運転を終了させる。なお、製氷が完了する直前のタイミングから、電子膨張弁33の開度を大きくすることで、凍結した氷が各製氷小室13内にへばりつくのを抑制できる。   The ice making unit 11 is cooled in a state where the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is controlled based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37, and ice making water jetted out from the ice making water tank 21 is gradually frozen in the ice making chamber 13 The ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 gradually decreases. At this time, if the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 is controlled so that the detection temperature of the temperature sensor 37 becomes −5 ° C. to −15 ° C., it is possible to manufacture ice with a high degree of transparency with few cracks. As detection of the completion of ice making based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37, a unit which is the product of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37 and the unit time detected every unit time from when the temperature of the ice making unit 11 reaches 0 ° C. The integrated value is obtained, and when the addition total value obtained by sequentially adding these unit integrated values becomes the target integrated value, the control device 40 detects that the block-shaped ice is formed in the ice making compartment 13 and the ice making is completed. The driving of the water supply pump 25 is stopped to end the ice making operation. Note that, by increasing the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 from the timing immediately before the completion of ice making, it is possible to suppress that the frozen ice sticks in the ice making compartments 13.

製氷運転後の除氷運転では、制御装置40は、圧縮機31を作動させた状態でホットガス弁36を開放するとともに、開閉機構23のアクチュエータモータ23aにより水皿22を開放位置に傾動させる。圧縮機31から送出されるホットガスはホットガス管35を通って蒸発器34に導かれて製氷部11の各製氷小室13を加温する。製氷完了時の製氷部11の温度は約−20℃となっているが、製氷部11の温度が徐々に上昇しながら、製氷小室13内から氷が離脱する。温度センサ37の検出温度が除氷が完了したことを検知する所定温度として5℃以上となると、制御装置40は、製氷部11の製氷小室13に氷が残ってない、即ち除氷が完了していると検知して、ホットガス弁36を閉止して除氷運転を終了して再び上述したように製氷運転を実行する。このように、制御装置40によって製氷運転と除氷運転を繰り返し実行させることにより、製氷部11ではブロック形の氷が連続的に製造される。   In the deicing operation after the ice making operation, the control device 40 opens the hot gas valve 36 in a state where the compressor 31 is operated, and tilts the water tray 22 to the open position by the actuator motor 23a of the open / close mechanism 23. The hot gas delivered from the compressor 31 is led to the evaporator 34 through the hot gas pipe 35 to heat the ice making compartments 13 of the ice making unit 11. The temperature of the ice making unit 11 at the time of completion of ice making is approximately −20 ° C., but the ice separates from the inside of the ice making chamber 13 while the temperature of the ice making unit 11 gradually rises. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37 reaches 5 ° C. or higher as a predetermined temperature for detecting completion of deicing, the control device 40 does not have ice remaining in the ice making compartment 13 of the ice making unit 11, that is, deicing is complete. It is detected that the hot gas valve 36 is closed, the deicing operation is ended, and the ice making operation is performed again as described above. As described above, by repeatedly executing the ice making operation and the deicing operation by the control device 40, block-shaped ice is continuously produced in the ice making unit 11.

上記のように構成した製氷機10は、製氷部11には温度センサ37が設けられ、製氷部11は温度センサ37の検出温度に基づいて開度が制御された電子膨張弁33を備えた冷凍装置30により冷却されている。製氷水タンク21内の製氷水はこの冷凍装置30により冷却された製氷部11との間を循環して冷却され、製氷水は製氷部11の製氷小室13内で漸次凍結して氷となる。   In the ice making machine 10 configured as described above, the ice making unit 11 is provided with the temperature sensor 37, and the ice making unit 11 is provided with the electronic expansion valve 33 whose opening degree is controlled based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37. It is cooled by the device 30. The ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 circulates between the ice making unit 11 cooled by the freezing device 30 and is cooled, and the ice making water is gradually frozen in the ice making chamber 13 of the ice making unit 11 to form ice.

製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11の各製氷小室13に送出開始するときには、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水は製氷部11との間を循環する前のために温度が低くないので、製氷部11の蒸発器34に冷媒を多く送る必要があることを新たに知得した。このため、この製氷機10においては、制御装置40は、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11の各製氷小室13に送出開始するときに、電子膨張弁33の開度を所定の開度として、製氷部11の温度が0℃以下となったときに制御する電子膨張弁33の開度よりも大きな開度となるように制御している。これによって、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11に送出開始するときに、製氷部11に応答性をよく多くの冷媒を送出することができるようになり、製氷運転の時間、特に、製氷水を冷却するのに要する時間を不必要に長くならないようにすることができた。   When the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is started to be delivered to the ice making compartments 13 of the ice making unit 11 by the water supply pump 25, the temperature of the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is before circulating between the ice making unit 11 and the temperature. As a result, it was newly found that it is necessary to send a large amount of refrigerant to the evaporator 34 of the ice making unit 11 because For this reason, in the ice making machine 10, when the control device 40 starts sending the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 to each ice making chamber 13 of the ice making unit 11 by the water feeding pump 25, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 The opening degree is controlled to be larger than the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve 33 which is controlled when the temperature of the ice making unit 11 becomes 0 ° C. or less. As a result, when the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is started to be sent out to the ice making unit 11 by the water feeding pump 25, it becomes possible to send out a large amount of refrigerant with good responsiveness to the ice making unit 11, It was possible not to unnecessarily lengthen the time, in particular the time required to cool the ice-making water.

また、引用文献1に記載されているように、製氷部の入口部と出口部との温度を検出する2つの温度センサを用いて電子膨張弁の開度を制御する製氷機では、2つの温度センサを用いることで部品に要するコストが高くなっているだけでなく、製氷部の負荷変動が大きなときにこれら2つの温度センサの温度差に基づいて電子膨張弁の開度を細かく制御しようとすると、高価な制御装置を用いなければならなく、部品に要するコストがさらに高くなっていた。これに対し、この製氷機10では、製氷部11に製氷水を送出開始するときのような製氷部11の負荷変動が大きなときでも、温度センサの検出に基づくことなく、製氷部11に応答性よく多くの冷媒を送出することができるため、コストの低減を図ることも実現できた。   In addition, as described in Patent Document 1, in the ice making machine in which the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is controlled using two temperature sensors that detect the temperatures of the inlet and the outlet of the ice making unit, the two temperatures are Not only the cost required for parts is high by using a sensor, but when the load fluctuation of the ice making unit is large, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is finely controlled based on the temperature difference between these two temperature sensors. However, expensive control devices have to be used, and the cost for parts has been further increased. On the other hand, in this ice making machine 10, even when the load fluctuation of the ice making unit 11 is large, such as when ice water is started to be supplied to the ice making unit 11, responsiveness to the ice making unit 11 is not based on detection by the temperature sensor. Since many refrigerants can be delivered well, cost reduction can be realized.

また、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水を送水ポンプ25によって製氷部11に送出開始してから温度センサ37の検出温度の上昇が停止するまで、上述したように電子膨張弁33を所定の開度以上で制御したので、製氷水タンク21内の製氷水が十分に冷却されるまで、製氷部11に応答性をよく多くの冷媒を送出することができる。   Also, as described above, the electronic expansion valve 33 is opened by a predetermined degree until the start of delivery of the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 to the ice making unit 11 by the water supply pump 25 and the rise of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 37 is stopped. Since it controlled by the above, until the ice making water in the ice making water tank 21 is fully cooled, a large amount of refrigerant can be sent out with good responsiveness to the ice making unit 11.

この実施形態の製氷機は、製氷部11に設けた下向きに開口する多数の製氷小室13を水皿22により開閉自在に閉成し、水皿22から各製氷小室13へ製氷水を噴射供給して氷を製造する所謂クローズドセルタイプの製氷機であるが、本発明はこれに限られるものでなく、製氷小室を開放状態で製氷水を噴射供給して製氷を行う所謂オープンセルタイプの製氷機であってもよいし、製氷小室を水平方向に開口させて、製氷小室内に製氷水を流下させる、または、鉛直に起立させた製氷板に製氷水を流下させる流下式の製氷機であってもよい。   In the ice making machine of this embodiment, a large number of ice making compartments 13 opened downward in the ice making unit 11 are closed freely openable and closable by the water tray 22, and the ice making water is jetted and supplied from the water tray 22 to each ice making compartment 13. The present invention is a so-called closed cell type ice making machine for producing dry ice, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a so-called open cell type ice making machine for making ice by injecting ice making water with the ice making chamber open. The ice making machine may be a flow down type ice making machine in which the ice making compartment is opened horizontally and the ice making water is allowed to flow down into the ice making compartment, or the ice making water is allowed to flow down the ice making plate which is vertically erected. It is also good.
