[0033] It should be noted that although the functional modules are divided in the system diagram, in some cases, the modules can be divided differently from those in the system. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, a cooling system for a film casting machine includes: a water pool 100, a pump valve assembly 400, a refrigerator 200, a heat exchanger 500, a negative pressure tower assembly 300, a control module and a data acquisition module 700.

[0035] The supply end of the water pool 100 is connected to the pump-valve assembly 400 , and the supply end of the water pool 100 is connected to the refrigerator 200 through the pump-valve assembly 400 ; the supply end of the water pool 100 is connected to the heat exchanger 500 through the pump-valve assembly 400 .

[0036] The refrigerator 200 is connected to the heat exchanger 500 through the pump-valve assembly 400; the heat exchanger 500 is connected to the negative pressure tower assembly 300 through the pump-valve assembly 400; the negative pressure tower assembly 300 is connected to the refrigerator 200 through the pump-valve assembly 400.

[0037] The refrigerator 200 is also directly connected to the negative pressure tower assembly 300, and the negative pressure tower assembly 300 is connected to the reflux end of the water pool 100. The heat exchanger 500 is connected to the water tank in the film casting machine 600, and the heat exchanger 500 uses the inflowing cooling water to cool the film casting machine 600.

[0038] The data acquisition module 700 can collect outdoor temperature and humidity to obtain the outdoor temperature; the data acquisition module 700 can also be set on the return water pipe of the film casting machine 600 to collect the water temperature on the return water pipe to obtain the return water temperature value.

[0039] The input end of the control module is electrically connected to the data acquisition module 700, and the output end of the control module is electrically connected to the refrigerator 200, the negative pressure tower assembly 300 and the pump valve assembly 400. After comparing the outdoor temperature and the return water temperature with the set process temperature value, the control module adjusts the pump valve assembly 400 to appropriately switch the valve and the water pump, adjust the cooling water operation flow path, control the operation of the negative pressure tower assembly 300 and / or the refrigerator 200, and switch the operation mode between the negative pressure tower assembly 300 and the refrigerator 200.

[0040] Since the oil and refrigerant of the refrigerator 200 need to be replaced every 2000 hours of operation, and at least 4 refrigerators 200 and 3 cold water pumps are required in the two film production lines, the cost and energy consumption are huge.

[0041] In the scheme of the above embodiment, the negative pressure tower assembly 300 is set to reduce the operating time of the refrigerator 200 and save a certain amount of maintenance costs. The heat exchanger 500, the negative pressure tower assembly 300 and the refrigerator 200 are connected through the pump valve assembly 400. The control module regulates the pump valve assembly 400, appropriately switches the valve and the water pump, and flexibly adjusts the cooling water running flow path of the cooling system, that is, switches the operating mode between the negative pressure tower assembly 300 and the refrigerator 200. The outdoor temperature and return water temperature collected by the data acquisition module 700 are used to track the return water temperature and production conditions, so as to achieve significantly improved energy-saving benefits and achieve the best production effect.

[0044] The condenser 210 in the refrigerator 200 is connected to the negative pressure tower assembly 300 .

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present utility model, the cooling system further includes: an internal circulation pump 900 , a flow regulating valve 800 and a bypass valve 810 .

[0047] When the flow regulating valve 800 is in a closed state, cooling water passes through the branch water channel of the flow regulating valve 800 to keep the flow and pressure of the cooling pipeline stable. The flow regulating valve 800 is an E / P (electric / pneumatic) control valve.

[0048] The bypass valve 810 is connected in parallel with and in communication with the main water path of the flow regulating valve 800 . The bypass valve 810 can respond to a user trigger, thereby regulating the flow of cooling water flowing into the heat exchanger 500 .

[0049] When the flow regulating valve 800 fails or is out of control, the user can adjust the flow of cooling water through the bypass valve 810 to keep the temperature of the water tank of the film casting machine 600 stable and ensure the reliability and stability of the cooling system.

[0050] One end of the inner circulation valve is connected to the water tank of the film casting machine 600, and the other end of the inner circulation valve is connected to the exchange side of the heat exchanger 500. The inner circulation pump 900 is used to pump out the water in the water tank of the film casting machine 600 and make it flow through the heat exchanger 500. Through the inner circulation pump 900, the required cooling water in the water tank of the film casting machine 600 is pumped faster, thereby realizing the acceleration of the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 500.

[0051] Through the solution of the above embodiment, the cooling system realizes constant temperature control of the water tank in the film casting machine 600 through the coordinated work of the internal circulation water pump, the heat exchanger 500, the flow regulating valve 800, the control module and the data acquisition module 700.

[0058] In one embodiment, if the current operation mode is the cooling mode, the control module controls the first valve 410, the second valve 420, the third valve 430, the chilled water pump 480 and the cooling water pump 490 to open, and the remaining valves of the pump valve assembly 400 are closed. The control module drives the first negative pressure tower 310 and the refrigerator 200 to operate, and controls the second negative pressure tower 320 to stop operating.

[0059] The cooling water flows from the water pool 100 through the cooling water pump 490 , sequentially flows through the first valve 410 , the condenser 210 in the refrigerator 200 , and the first negative pressure tower 310 , and flows back to the water pool 100 from the first negative pressure tower 310 .

[0060] The chilled water flows out from the evaporator 220 in the refrigerator 200, flows through the second valve 420 in turn, flows through the flow regulating valve 800 for regulation, and flows into the heat exchanger 500 for heat exchange. The chilled water after heat exchange passes through the third valve 430 and the chilled water pump 480 and flows back to the evaporator 220 in the refrigerator 200.

[0061] Among them, when running in cooling mode, the closed circulation loop and the high-level expansion tank are used for pipe exhaust. The energy consumption of this mode is at the highest level.

[0062] One end of the fourth valve 440 is connected to the cooling side of the heat exchanger 500, and the other end of the fourth valve 440 is connected to the input end of the second negative pressure tower 320. One end of the fifth valve 450 is connected to the output end of the second negative pressure tower 320, and the other end of the fifth valve 450 is connected to the chilled water pump 480.

[0063] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 If the current operation mode is the serial mode, the control module controls the first valve 410, the second valve 420, the fourth valve 440, the fifth valve 450, the chilled water pump 480 and the cooling water pump 490 to open, and the remaining valves of the pump valve assembly 400 are closed. The control module drives the first negative pressure tower 310 to operate, the second negative pressure tower 320 and the refrigerator 200 to operate.

[0064] The cooling water flows from the water pool 100 through the cooling water pump 490 , sequentially flows through the first valve 410 , the condenser 210 in the refrigerator 200 , and the first negative pressure tower 310 , and flows back to the water pool 100 from the first negative pressure tower 310 .

[0065] The chilled water flows out from the evaporator 220 in the refrigerator 200, flows through the second valve 420 in sequence, flows through the flow regulating valve 800 for regulation, and flows into the heat exchanger 500 for heat exchange. The chilled water after heat exchange flows into the second negative pressure tower 320 for heat exchange through the fourth valve 440, and then flows through the fifth valve 450 and the chilled water pump 480 in sequence, and flows back to the evaporator 220 in the refrigerator 200.

[0066] Among them, when running in serial mode, the energy consumption of this mode is at a medium level.

[0067] One end of the sixth valve 460 is connected to the cooling water pump 490, the other end of the sixth valve 460 is connected to the heat exchanger 500 through the flow regulating valve 800, one end of the seventh valve 470 is connected to the output end of the second negative pressure tower 320, and the seventh valve 470 is connected to the reflux end of the water pool 100.

[0068] In one embodiment, if the current operation mode is the negative pressure tower mode, the control module controls the sixth valve 460, the fourth valve 440, the seventh valve 470 and the cooling water pump 490 to operate, and controls the remaining valves in the pump valve assembly 400 and the freezing water pump 480 to close.

The cooling water after heat exchange flows into the second negative pressure tower 320 for heat exchange through the fourth valve 440, and then flows through the seventh valve 470 and flows back to the water pool 100.

[0070] When the negative pressure tower mode is operated, the cooling water flows directly through the heat exchanger 500, and directly cools the water tank in the film casting machine 600 through the heat exchanger 500. This mode consumes the least power and the energy consumption of this mode is at the lowest level.
