ICE MAKING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: ice-production equipment. SUBSTANCE: ice-making machine has body, evaporator connected with freezing system, base frame having freezing cells for receiving water to be frozen and support freezing plate with evaporator connected thereto. Support freezing plate has lower surface with freezing fingers for immersing thereof into water fed into freezing cells. Machine also has de-aeration means, which swings base frame with the purpose of air bubbles removal from water to be frozen. De-aeration means has the first support frame for movable supporting base frame and swinging supporting frame upwards and downwards, spring located between base frame and support frame, pushing means for repeated pressing on base frame, which may swing upwards and downwards by back elastic force of spring and pushing means pressure so that water into cells is repeatedly contacts with freezing fingers. EFFECT: reduced time for ice generation due to increased ice freezing intensity. 8 cl, 8 dwg
