Abstract (en)

An automatic ice making machine stably injects water to be frozen to freezing cells to produce high-quality ice pieces which are uniform in shape and size, and has a freezing section 12 defining a plurality of freezing cells 10 opening downward and arranged horizontally, and a water tank 18 located under the freezing section 12. A water spraying member 26 tilted at a predetermined angle in the flow direction is disposed on the water tank 18, and a plurality of nozzles 30 protrude from the upper surface of a distributor pipe 28 constituting the member 26. The water to be frozen supplied to the water spraying member 26 by a water circulation pump is adapted to be injected into each freezing cell 10 through a water injection hole 80a of each nozzle 30 under the same pressure. Further, the water to be frozen injected from each water injection hole 30a diagonally forward is designed to be supplied to an opposed freezing cell 10. <IMAGE>
