[0002] A coolant storage system is a comprehensive technology system that extends the temperature of an item by lowering its temperature to maintain its quality and meet specific process requirements.

[0003] In existing technologies, loads generate a lot of heat during operation, requiring timely cooling with coolant. However, pre-prepared coolant can cause its temperature to rise due to the high operating temperature, resulting in poor cooling performance.

[0004] To address the problem that the cooling effect of the pre-prepared coolant is poor due to the influence of the working environment, a coolant storage system is proposed that can store coolant and maintain it within a preset temperature. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Figure 1 This diagram shows a first structural schematic of the coolant storage system of this invention. Figure 2 This diagram shows a second structural schematic of the coolant storage system in this invention. Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the insulation box of this utility model is shown. Figure 4A schematic diagram of the U-shaped tube structure of this utility model is shown. The coolant storage system includes: a base frame 1, an insulation box 2, an output mechanism 3, and an input mechanism 4. The insulation box 2 is mounted on the base frame 1 and includes an outer shell 21 and an inner liner 22. An insulation cavity 23 for accommodating insulation cotton is provided between the outer shell 21 and the inner liner 22. The inner liner 22 has a receiving cavity 220 for accommodating coolant. The output mechanism 3 is mounted on the base frame 1 and is located on one side of the insulation box 2. The input end of the output mechanism 3 is connected to the inner liner 22 via a valve. The input mechanism 4 is mounted on the base frame 1 and is located on the other side of the insulation box 2. The output end of the input mechanism 4 is connected to the inner liner 22 via a connecting pipe. In this embodiment, the inner liner 22 of the insulation box 2 is used to store coolant that has been kept at a certain temperature by the input mechanism 4. That is, the insulation box 2 stores the cooled coolant, pre-storing coolant that can be used to cool the load. This prevents the coolant temperature from rising due to the working environment, which would lead to poor cooling performance. It helps maintain the coolant at a preset temperature, thus improving the cooling effect. The insulation cavity 23 contains a large amount of insulation cotton, distributed on the surface of the inner liner 22. The insulation cotton is typically made of materials such as glass fiber, rock wool, and aluminum silicate fiber, which have extremely low thermal conductivity. Taking glass fiber insulation cotton as an example, glass fibers have numerous tiny pores, making it difficult for air to convect within these pores. This significantly reduces heat transfer efficiency, thereby minimizing heat transfer from the inner liner 22 to the air and maintaining a stable internal temperature.

[0030] During use, the input end of the output mechanism 3 is connected to the inner liner 22, and the output end of the output mechanism 3 is connected to the liquid inlet of the corresponding load. The output end of the input mechanism 4 is connected to the inner liner 22, and the input end of the input mechanism 4 is connected to the liquid outlet of the corresponding load. This allows the input mechanism 4, the insulation box 2, the output mechanism 3, and the corresponding load to form a circulating cooling loop, ensuring low energy consumption and zero-emission recycling. Similarly, the input end of the output mechanism 3 is connected to the inner liner 22, and the output end of the output mechanism 3 is connected to the corresponding load. The output end of the input mechanism 4 is connected to the inner liner 22, and the input end of the input mechanism 4 is connected to external coolant. This allows the coolant storage system to continuously output coolant to the load, thereby reducing the load's operating temperature.

[0031] Furthermore, the insulated box 2 is equipped with a temperature controller 5, the detection end of which is inserted into the inner liner 22. In this embodiment, the temperature controller 5 is used to detect the temperature inside the insulated box 2. The detection end of the temperature controller 5 is inserted into the inner liner 22, so that the detection end of the temperature controller 5 is in direct contact with the coolant in the inner liner 22, avoiding the thermal resistance generated when indirectly measuring temperature through air or other media, which is beneficial for more accurate detection of the coolant temperature.

[0032] It should be noted that the detection end of the thermostat 5 is a thin, elongated temperature sensor probe, the surface of which is covered with a waterproof and corrosion-resistant material. The temperature sensor probe is inserted into the inner liner 22 through a small hole pre-drilled in the side wall of the insulation box 2. The small hole is sealed with sealant to prevent heat exchange between the inner liner 22 and the outside air through the small hole, which helps the thermostat 5 to ensure the airtightness of the inner liner 22 while detecting temperature.

[0033] Furthermore, the input mechanism 4 includes a cooler 41, with an outlet pipe 42 at one end near the insulation box 2. The cooler 41 is connected to the insulation box 2 via the outlet pipe 42, and an inlet 43 at the other end. In this embodiment, the cooler 41 is used to cool the coolant entering through the inlet 43. The coolant enters the cooler 41 through the inlet 43, and after being cooled by the cooler 41, it enters the insulation box 2 through the outlet pipe 42. This ensures the cooled coolant enters the insulation box 2 at a lower temperature for storage.

[0034] Furthermore, the cooler 41 has multiple U-shaped tubes 411, which are distributed in a predetermined position within the cooler 41 and are interconnected. In this embodiment, the multiple U-shaped tubes 411 are interconnected and distributed inside the cooler 41 in a specific matrix form. Specifically, two rows of U-shaped tubes 411 are evenly distributed along the length of the cooler 41, with each row containing eight U-shaped tubes 411, and the two rows of U-shaped tubes 411 are staggered. This distribution increases the contact area between the multiple U-shaped tubes 411 and the coolant to be cooled, thereby accelerating the cooling efficiency of the cooler 41. Two adjacent U-shaped tubes 411 in the same row are interconnected, and the last U-shaped tube 411 in the first row is connected to the last U-shaped tube 411 in the second row. The first U-shaped tube 411 in the first row is connected to the corresponding cooling medium inlet, and the second U-shaped tube 411 in the second row is connected to the corresponding cooling medium outlet. This allows the cooling medium to enter the cooler 41 through the inlet, pass through the U-shaped tubes 411 in the first row and the second row, and finally flow out of the cooler 41 through the outlet, forming a cooling medium circulation loop. The two rows of U-shaped tubes 411 increase the residence time of the cooling medium in the cooler 41, thereby increasing the heat exchange time between the cooling medium and the cooled fluid and improving the overall heat exchange efficiency.

[0035] Furthermore, the output mechanism 3 includes a first conveying pipe 31, a second conveying pipe 32, a control valve 33, and a water pump 34. The inlet end of the first conveying pipe 31 is connected to the insulation box 2 via the control valve 33, and the connecting end of the first conveying pipe 31 is connected to the connecting end of the second conveying pipe 32 via the water pump 34. In this embodiment, the first conveying pipe 31 is horizontally arranged on one side of the insulation box 2 and is located at the bottom of the side wall of the insulation box 2, while the second conveying pipe 32 is vertically arranged with the first conveying pipe 31. This ensures that the coolant flowing from the first conveying pipe 31 to the second conveying pipe 32 needs to impact the bend between the first conveying pipe 31 and the second conveying pipe 32, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the coolant in the conveying pipe and slowing down the flow speed of the coolant. This prevents the coolant from flowing out too quickly after the control valve 33 is opened, which would result in excessive coolant output from the second conveying pipe 32 and waste. The water pump 34 is used to pump the coolant in the first delivery pipe 31 into the second delivery pipe 32 when the coolant capacity in the insulation box 2 is not high. That is, the speed of coolant delivery by gravity is affected by various factors such as liquid level and pipe resistance. When the coolant capacity in the insulation box 2 is low and the liquid level is low, the effect of gravity is weakened and the coolant delivery speed will be significantly slower. The water pump 34 can increase the pressure of the coolant and increase the flow rate of the coolant in the pipe, thereby accelerating the delivery speed.

[0036] Furthermore, a return valve 35 is provided at one end of the second delivery pipe 32 near the water pump 34. One end of the return valve 35 is connected to the second delivery pipe 32, and the other end is connected to the insulation box 2. The return valve 35 connects the second delivery pipe 32 and the insulation box 2, allowing the coolant in the second delivery pipe 32 to enter the insulation box 2 through the return valve 35. After the output mechanism 3 outputs a certain amount of coolant, the remaining coolant remains in the second delivery pipe 32. The remaining coolant can flow back from the second delivery pipe 32 to the insulation box 2 through the return valve 35. This prevents the remaining coolant from remaining in the second delivery pipe 32 for a long time, which could cause it to deteriorate due to temperature changes, reactions with the pipe material, or contact with oxygen or microorganisms in the air. Conversely, after flowing back to the insulation box 2, the coolant is in a relatively stable storage environment, which helps to reduce the impact of external factors on the coolant and thus ensures the quality of the coolant.

[0037] Furthermore, a filter 36 is installed at the outlet end of the second transport pipeline. The filter 36 is installed at the output end of the second transport pipeline, meaning that all coolant transported by the second transport pipeline must pass through the filter 36. The filter 36 uses its internal filter screen, filter element, and other filter media to intercept impurities in the coolant, ensuring smooth flow of coolant and preventing equipment shutdown or damage due to blockage. This helps ensure the normal operation of the coolant storage system.

[0038] Furthermore, a drain outlet is provided on one side of the insulation box 2. In this embodiment, a water valve is provided on the drain outlet, and the water valve is located at the bottom of the side wall of the insulation box 2. The drain outlet is used to discharge the sewage or water that has been stored for too long in the insulation box 2, so as to avoid the generation of sewage in the insulation box 2 during actual use due to the influence of the external environment, the natural evaporation and concentration of the coolant, or the chemical reaction and microbial growth of the coolant during long-term storage. Timely replacement of the sewage in the insulation box 2 helps to ensure the quality of the coolant in the insulation box 2 and maintain the stable operation of the system.

[0039] Furthermore, a wastewater drain pipe 11 is installed on the base frame 1. One end of the wastewater drain pipe 11 is inserted into the base frame 1, and the other end faces the ground or other wastewater pool. In various coolant storage and treatment equipment, wastewater and impurities easily accumulate at the base frame 1. The wastewater drain pipe 11 can promptly discharge these wastewater and impurities, preventing wastewater or impurities from accumulating at the base frame 1, avoiding damage such as corrosion and blockage to the equipment, thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and extending its service life.

[0040] Furthermore, the coolant storage system also includes a control module. The control module is signal-connected to the temperature controller 5, the output mechanism 3, and the input mechanism 4. In this embodiment, the control module has a preset algorithm. When the temperature controller 5 detects that the temperature of the coolant in the insulation box 2 is too high, the temperature controller 5 generates and outputs a first electrical signal to the control module based on the temperature in the insulation box 2. After receiving the first electrical signal, the control module analyzes it according to the preset algorithm, and then generates and outputs a corresponding electrical signal to the input mechanism 4 based on the analysis result. After receiving the corresponding electrical signal, the cooler 41 in the input mechanism 4 starts to input the corresponding cooling medium into the U-shaped tube 411 to cool the coolant in the cooler 41. Then, the cooled coolant is output to the insulation box 2, so that the cooled coolant mixes with the coolant in the insulation box 2, thereby reducing the temperature of the coolant in the insulation box 2.

[0041] It should be noted that the output end of the output mechanism 3 is connected to one end of the corresponding load, and the other end of the corresponding load is connected to the input end of the input mechanism 4. This allows the coolant in the insulation box 2 to enter the corresponding load through the output mechanism 3 for cooling, and then enter the input mechanism 4 from the corresponding load. The input mechanism 4 cools the coolant and stores it in the insulation box 2 for reuse, achieving a low-energy, zero-emission, cyclical cooling effect. Similarly, the output end of the output mechanism 3 can be connected to the input end of the input mechanism 4, allowing the coolant in the insulation box 2 to enter the input mechanism 4 through the output mechanism 3 for cooling, directly cooling the overheated coolant in the insulation box 2, achieving a low-energy, zero-emission, cyclical cooling effect.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model:

[0043] When the coolant stored in the insulation box 2 has been unused for a long time, and the temperature controller detects that the temperature of the coolant in the insulation box 2 exceeds the preset range, the output terminal of the output mechanism 3 can be connected to the input terminal of the input mechanism 4. The excessively hot coolant in the insulation box 2 enters the input mechanism 4 through the output mechanism 3. After being cooled by the cooler of the input mechanism 4, the coolant flows back into the insulation box 2. The cooled coolant re-enters the insulation box 2, thereby reducing the temperature of the coolant in the insulation box 2 to the preset range. The cooled coolant is then stored in the insulation box 2 for use next time, achieving a low-energy, zero-emission, and cyclical cooling effect.

[0044] In summary, this invention improves cooling efficiency by incorporating an inner liner into the coolant storage system. The insulated box stores the cooled coolant, allowing for pre-storage of coolant suitable for cooling the load. This avoids the risk of poor cooling performance or safety hazards due to improper manufacturing processes or raw material issues caused by unreliable freshly made coolant. Furthermore, the invention features an insulated cavity between the inner liner and the outer shell, filled with a large amount of insulating cotton. The cotton contains numerous tiny pores, hindering air convection and significantly reducing heat transfer efficiency. This minimizes heat transfer from the inner liner to the air, maintaining a stable internal temperature. Finally, the invention includes an output mechanism, an insulated box, and an input mechanism, forming a circulating cooling loop with the corresponding load, ensuring low energy consumption and zero emissions for continuous operation.

At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model.
