How is stainless steel ice cubes made?How to put liquid into a metal without sewing?

Stainless steel ice cubes

We all know that after the ice is dissolved into water, it will dilute the drinks, especially the wine, and it will not taste so much. In the early years, some engineers would freeze some rolling bearing to be used as ice cubes to solve the problem of taste. Later designers were inspired by inspiration and made stainless steel ice cubes ~

The current stainless steel ice cubes are stainless steel outside. In fact, it is equipped with cooling liquid inside. So our question came! How did you put the liquid into the stainless steel ice cubes and wrap it up?

Half + half

After various information verification, stainless steel ice cubes are not integrated. It is actually welded by two square hollow blocks (half squares) into one after one, and then the liquid injected by half of the holes in it.

Half cube

We did not find the video materials in this session, but the text is relatively complete. We use similar objects to make explanations. First of all, the half of the stainless steel ice cubes are also a strong miracle, that is, the hollow shell of the half cubes extended on the stainless steel plate. The process is similar to the stamping below.

Then pass through the edge and let each hollow shell fall alone. The figure below is also an analogy, using the cut edge of the plate. The difference is that the cut edge of our stainless steel ice cubes must cut out every raised inside.

After that, a small hole must be rushed on one of them, and it is used to inject liquids later ~ I think of the brain of the socks that have a few holes in a hurry ...

Cyclic welding

Then, the two semi -square squares were placed against each other.

It can be seen that there are four sewing lines on the surface of stainless steel. Although it is ugly, we can all look good! See this small hole? It is to inject liquid from here.

Cooler

What is the stainless steel ice cubes? In fact, it is some simple mixed fluid. Seeing that many people on the Internet disassemble the stainless steel ice cubes and pour out the liquid, they are all colorless and tasteless, and the home must be available at home ... We searches the main divisions of two types, one is a mixture of water and alcohol, and the other is water. The mixture with glycerin can reduce the solidification point and ensure that it will not freeze at a dozen degrees below minus.

The process of injecting the coolant to the stainless steel ice cubes is similar to the needle tube in the figure below, insert objects, and inject liquid. Of course, the hybrid liquid cannot be noted too full, in case of the true solid state ... still have to leave the amount of expansion.

Replenishment gap

At this time, the stainless steel ice cubes may feel a little cool above the head, as if there is a little brain ... we use the arc welding to flatten this empty.

Polishing

Finally, you have to sit down and polish. Place the stainless steel ice cubes on the card slot that is straight forward and send it to the automatic polishing ~

You can see that some noodles are already smooth, and some noodles are not thrown. We continue to change the noodles. The stainless steel ice cubes were originally seams, more polished, and there was no sewing ...

After each face is completely polished, the snowy and white steel ice is the most snowy and white ~

Laser typing

Some stainless steel ice cubes will also use laser to hit logo or words on the surface. In order to avoid damage to the surface of the stainless steel ice cubes during the processing process, the coating will also be wrapped in advance, which is the milky white layer below.

Then the entire stainless steel ice cubes were washed and brushed, and the stainless steel noodles were perfectly exposed ~

Your stainless steel ice cubes are ready ~
