[0019] like Figure 1As shown, a variable frequency constant temperature and humidity granary air conditioning device includes a scroll compressor 1, a finned condenser 2, a liquid storage tank 3, a drying filter 4, a sight glass 5, a stop valve 6, a No. 1 solenoid valve 7, a thermal expansion valve 8, an air handling mechanism, and a control device. The scroll compressor 1 is connected to the finned condenser 2, the liquid storage tank 3, the drying filter 4, the sight glass 5, the stop valve 6, the No. 1 solenoid valve 7, the thermal expansion valve 8, and the air handling mechanism in sequence through a No. 1 connecting pipe 20. The scroll compressor 1 is used to generate high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas. The finned condenser 2 is also provided with an axial flow fan 18. The finned The finned condenser 2 exchanges heat with the outdoor air through the axial flow fan 18, and converts the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas into medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid after releasing heat. The liquid storage tank 3 is used to store the medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid flowing out of the finned condenser 2. The drying filter 4 can dry and filter the moisture in the refrigerant flowing through to prevent ice blockage caused by excessive moisture in the refrigerant. The flow rate of the refrigerant and the moisture content of the refrigerant can be observed through the sight glass 5. The stop valve 6 is used to control the flow of the refrigerant liquid in the No. 1 connecting pipe. The thermal expansion valve 8 is used to transport the refrigerant into the finned evaporator 11 in the air handling mechanism.

[0020] The air handling mechanism includes a shell 9 and a finned evaporator 11, a finned subcooler 12, an ultrasonic humidifier 13, and an axial flow centrifugal blower 14 which are sequentially arranged in the shell 9. An air outlet 16 corresponding to the air outlet of the axial flow centrifugal blower 14 is provided at one end of the shell 9, and an air inlet 15 is provided at the other end of the shell 9. A temperature and humidity sensor 10 is provided at the air inlet 15. The finned evaporator 11 is connected to the scroll compressor 1 through a No. 2 connecting pipe 23 to transport the refrigerant liquid back to the scroll compressor 1, thereby forming a complete refrigerant cycle. A No. 3 connecting pipe 21 connected to the finned subcooler 12 is provided on the No. 1 connecting pipe 20 between the No. 1 solenoid valve 7 and the stop valve 6, and a No. 2 solenoid valve 19 is provided on the No. 3 connecting pipe 21. A No. 4 connecting pipe 22 connected to the finned subcooler 12 is provided on the No. 1 connecting pipe 20 between the No. 1 solenoid valve 7 and the thermal expansion valve 8;

[0021] The control device includes a control box 17 and a PLC controller installed in the control box 17. The scroll compressor 1, the finned condenser 2, the No. 1 solenoid valve 7, the No. 2 solenoid valve 19, the thermal expansion valve 8, the temperature and humidity sensor 10, the finned evaporator 11, the finned subcooler 12, the ultrasonic humidifier 13, and the axial flow centrifugal blower 14 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller can control the corresponding coordination of each component.

[0022] Furthermore, a pressure controller 24 is provided on the No. 1 connecting pipe 20. The pressure controller 24 is used to provide pressure into the No. 1 connecting pipe 20, thereby controlling the corresponding delivery of the refrigerant in each connecting pipe. The pressure controller 24 is electrically connected to the PLC controller, and the pressure controller 24 can be controlled by the PLC controller to perform corresponding work.

[0023] Furthermore, the No. 1 connecting pipe, the No. 2 connecting pipe, the No. 3 connecting pipe, and the No. 4 connecting pipe are all copper pipes.

[0024] When in use, the required temperature and humidity are set in the PLC controller. When the air in the granary needs to be cooled and dehumidified, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas from the scroll compressor 1 enters the finned condenser 2 through the copper tube, and exchanges heat with the outdoor air through the axial flow fan 18 in the finned condenser 2. After releasing heat, it becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid, and is stored in the liquid storage tank 3 through the copper tube. At the same time, the temperature and humidity sensor 10 detects the temperature and humidity of the air at the air inlet, and transmits the detected value to the PLC controller. If the detected temperature and humidity are higher than the set value of the PLC controller, the PLC controller controls the No. 2 electromagnetic The valve 19 is closed, the No. 1 solenoid valve 7 and the thermal expansion valve 8 are opened, and the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 3 enters the finned evaporator 11 through the drying filter 4, the sight glass 5, the stop valve 6, and the thermal expansion valve 8 in sequence, and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid. After absorbing the heat of the air from the granary, it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerator gas and returns to the scroll compressor 1 through the No. 2 connecting pipe 23, completing the recycling of the refrigerant; the air from the granary enters the shell through the air inlet 15, and after being cooled and dehumidified by the finned evaporator 11, it is sent to the granary through the axial flow centrifugal blower 14, completing the refrigeration and dehumidification of the granary air;

[0025] When the detected temperature of the air in the granary is higher than the set value, and the humidity is lower than the set value, refrigeration and humidification are required, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas from the scroll compressor 1 enters the finned condenser 2 through the copper tube, and exchanges heat with the outdoor air through the axial flow fan 18 in the finned condenser 2. After releasing heat, it becomes a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant liquid, and is stored in the liquid storage tank 3 through the copper tube. At this time, the PLC controller controls the No. 1 solenoid valve 7 to close, the No. 2 solenoid valve 19 and the thermal expansion valve 8 to open, and the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank 3 passes through the drying filter 4, the sight glass 5, the stop valve 6, and the No. 2 solenoid valve 19 in turn into the finned subcooler 12. The finned subcooler 12 The refrigerant can be cooled by the low-temperature air flowing through the finned evaporator 11, thereby reducing the refrigerant temperature, which is beneficial to improving the refrigeration efficiency. The refrigerant in the finned subcooler 12 enters the finned evaporator 11 through the No. 4 connecting pipe 22 and the thermal expansion valve 8, and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid. After absorbing the heat of the air from the granary, it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas and returns to the scroll compressor 1 through the No. 2 connecting pipe 23, completing the recycling of the refrigerant; the air from the granary passes through the finned evaporator 11 and then through the finned subcooler 12 to heat up, and is humidified by the ultrasonic humidifier 13, and is sent to the granary through the axial flow centrifugal blower to complete the refrigeration and humidification of the granary air.

[0026] The design of the present invention has a simple structure and complete functions. While keeping the low temperature of the grain, it can also adjust the humidity of the air, thereby maintaining a constant temperature and humidity for the grain and protecting the grain from water loss. Different constant temperature and humidity functions can be selected for different usage conditions. At the same time, when the unit dehumidifies, the relative humidity of the air is increased by utilizing supercooling heat, without consuming additional power, making the overall operation of the device more energy-efficient.

[0027] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
