[0045] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present application, a temperature control device 100 is provided for providing a coolant. The temperature control device 100 includes a base 110 and a plurality of modules 120 located on a coolant flow path. The plurality of modules 120 are sequentially detachably connected and include at least two of a water tank module 121, a water pump module 122, and an expansion tank module 123. The expansion tank module 123 and the water pump module 122 are both located downstream of the water tank module 121. Each module 120 is operable to switch between a fixed state and a free state relative to the base 110. The module 120 in the fixed state is fixedly connected to the base 110, and the module 120 in the free state can be controlled to leave the base 110.

[0046] The temperature control device 100 is used to provide and circulate coolant, and a plurality of modules 120 are located on the coolant flow path. When a module 120 needs to be repaired, the connection between the module 120 and other modules 120 is disconnected, and then the module 120 is operated to a free state, and then the module 120 is removed from the base 110 and sent to a maintenance site with a larger space, so that the module 120 can be repaired and maintained in a larger maintenance space, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and maintenance operations of the staff. After the maintenance is completed, the module 120 is sent back to the base 110 and the module 120 is operated to a fixed state to securely connect the base 110 and the module 120, and at the same time, the module 120 is connected to other modules 120 to access the coolant flow path, so that the temperature control device 100 can enter the refrigeration work.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the whole machine is modularized into modules 120. When maintenance is needed, the module 120 that needs maintenance can be removed from the base 110 separately, so that the maintenance work can be carried out in a larger space, which greatly facilitates the maintenance operations of the staff and helps to improve the maintenance efficiency.

[0048] When the multiple modules 120 include a water tank module 121, a water pump module 122 and an expansion tank module 123, the expansion tank module 123 is located downstream of the water tank module 121, and the water pump module 122 can be connected between the water tank module 121 and the expansion tank module 123, or downstream of the expansion tank module 123, without specific limitation. The flow direction of the coolant is from the water tank module 121 to the expansion tank module 123. The multiple modules 120 may include only the water pump module 122 and the expansion tank module 123, and in actual use, the coolant may be provided via an external water tank or an external water source. As for the specific structure of the water tank module 121, the water pump module 122 and the expansion tank module 123, it is not limited in this application, and may include the common components of the water tank, the water pump and the expansion tank respectively.

[0049] There are many ways to realize the operation switching between the fixed state and the free state of the module 120 relative to the base 110. For example, the module 120 and the base 110 can be connected by a fastener. When the fastener connects the module 120 and the base 110, the module 120 is in a fixed state. When the fastener is removed, the module 120 can move freely relative to the base 110 and is in a free state. Of course, other methods can also be adopted, which are not specifically limited.

[0050] In some embodiments, each module 120 is configured to have a moving path on the base 110, and has a fixed position and a disengaged position on the moving path. When each module 120 is in a fixed state, it is located at a fixed position. When the module 120 is in a free state, it can be controlled to leave the base 110 through its own disengaged position, or to connect to the base 110 through its own disengaged position.

[0051] When a module 120 needs to be repaired, the connection between the module 120 and other modules 120 is disconnected, and the module 120 is operated to a free state, and the module 120 is pulled to its own disengaged position, and the module 120 is separated from the base 110 through the disengaged position, and then the module 120 is pulled to a larger maintenance space for maintenance and repair of the module 120, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and repair operations of the staff. After the maintenance is completed, the module 120 is pushed back to the base 110 through its disengaged position and pushed to a fixed position, and the module 120 is operated to a fixed state at the fixed position, and the module 120 is connected to other modules 120 to access the coolant flow path, and the temperature control device 100 can enter the refrigeration operation.

[0052] In this way, the staff only needs to push and pull the module 120 to achieve the module 120 entering and leaving the base 110, without manually moving each module 120 or using other handling equipment such as a robot, which not only saves time and effort but also reduces maintenance costs.

[0053] Preferably, the moving path of each module 120 is linear. That is, each module 120 can enter or exit the base 110 when moving in a straight line, and the moving distance is short, which speeds up the maintenance process. Of course, the moving path of each module 120 can also be in other shapes such as curves, arcs, etc., which are not specifically limited.

[0054] For details about the embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The base 110 is divided into a plurality of installation areas 111, and the plurality of modules 120 are disposed in one of the plurality of installation areas 111 in a one-to-one correspondence, and are configured to be movable in the corresponding installation areas 111. Each installation area 111 has a derailment boundary, and the escape position of each module 120 is located on the corresponding derailment boundary.

[0055] At this time, the base 110 is divided into a plurality of installation areas 111, and each module 120 moves only within the installation area 111, which can simplify the movement path of the module 120 and avoid complicated operation caused by the intersection of the movement paths of the modules 120. At the same time, the disengagement position is located on the derailment boundary. When the module 120 moves to the derailment boundary, it can be separated from the base 110 by continuing to move. After the module 120 moves out of the base 110, the module 120 can be moved to the derailment boundary by continuing to push, and the module 120 can be moved to the base 110 through the derailment boundary, which is convenient for operation and saves time and effort.

[0056] For further details on the embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4Each installation area 111 is constructed with a slide rail 112 extending to its own derailment boundary, and the module 120 is movably arranged on the slide rail 112. At this time, each module 120 can move along the slide rail 112 in the installation area 111, and the slide rail 112 can not only define the movement path of the corresponding module 120, but also improve the movement stability of the module 120.

[0057] For further details on the embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , each module 120 is configured with a universal wheel 124 at the bottom, and the universal wheel 124 can be operated to switch between a self-locking state and an unlocking state. When the universal wheel 124 is in the self-locking state, the module 120 is in a fixed state, and when the universal wheel 124 is in the unlocking state, the module 120 is in a free state. At this time, the module 120 is moved on the base 110 by rolling the universal wheel 124 at the bottom, and the friction force is small, which saves time and effort to push. At the same time, when the module 120 is in a fixed state, the universal wheel 124 is self-locking, and the self-locking of the universal wheel 124 can be used to achieve or further improve the fixed stability of the module 120 relative to the base 110. Specifically, the universal wheel 124 is rollably arranged on the slide rail 112, and the slide rail 112 is used to limit the direction of the universal wheel 124, which makes it easier for the staff to push.

[0058] Since the universal wheel 124 is a commonly used component in the art, the specific structure of the universal wheel 124 is not specifically limited or elaborated herein.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The base 110 is provided with a fixing portion 113 , and the module 120 is provided with a matching portion 125 . The fixing portion 113 and the matching portion 125 are detachably connected to enable the module 120 to switch between a fixed state and a free state relative to the base 110 .

[0060] When the module 120 needs to be fixed, the matching portion 125 on the module 120 is connected to the fixing portion 113, so that the module 120 and the base 110 are relatively fixed, and the module 120 is in a fixed state. When the module 120 needs to be repaired and inspected, the matching portion 125 on the module 120 is disassembled from the fixing portion 113, and the module 120 is in a free state, which is convenient for subsequent staff to remove the module 120 from the base 110.

[0061] Specifically in the embodiment, the fixing portion 113 is formed by a first anchor 113a constructed on the base 110, and the matching portion 125 is formed by a second anchor 125a constructed on the module 120. The first anchor 113a and the second anchor 125a are detachably connected via bolts and nuts.

[0062] Understandably, both the first anchor frame 113a and the second anchor frame 125a have connection holes for bolts to pass through, and after one end of the bolt passes through the connection holes on the first anchor frame 113a and the second anchor frame 125a, the first anchor frame 113a and the second anchor frame 125a are fixedly connected by tightening with nuts, thereby achieving the fixed connection between the module 120 and the base 110. This method has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has low cost.

[0063] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 At least one of the multiple modules 120 is provided with a mating flange 126 at at least one of the outlet and inlet ends of its flow channel for circulating the coolant. A connecting flange 114 detachably connected to the mating flange 126 is constructed on the base 110. The connecting flange 114 is located on the coolant flow path so that the module 120 can be connected to or disconnected from the coolant flow path.

[0064] When the membrane block needs to be repaired and maintained, the matching flange 126 is disassembled from the corresponding connecting flange 114, and then the module 120 is removed from the base 110. When the repair and maintenance is completed, the module 120 is installed back to the base 110, and the matching flange 126 is connected to the corresponding connecting flange 114, and the flow channel of the module 120 is connected to the coolant flow path, so that the flow path of the coolant in the temperature control device 100 is connected.

[0065] At this time, the matching flange 126 and the connecting flange 114 can not only enable the module 120 to be connected to the coolant flow path, but also further play a role in fixing the module 120 and the base 110.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, the outlet end and / or inlet end of the flow channel of the module 120 itself can also be directly connected to the outlet end and inlet end of the flow channel of the adjacent module 120 through a hose, etc., or connected to the corresponding connecting flange 114 of the adjacent module 120. The specific method is not limited, as long as the adjacent modules 120 are connected and form a flow channel that can circulate the coolant.

[0067] The connection method and construction method between the flanges can be conventionally configured in the art, such as sealed connection by bolts and nuts, without specific limitation.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , multiple modules 120 are installed on the same side of the base 110. At this time, the modules 120 are arranged on the same side of the base 110, the layout is simple and compact, the structure of the base 110 can be simplified, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0069] The temperature control device 100 provided in the present application is used to provide cooling liquid to the outside. The cooling liquid is the cooling liquid after heating, and the cooling liquid output by the temperature control device 100 can be used for heating. The cooling liquid can also be the cooling liquid after cooling, and the cooling liquid output by the temperature control device 100 can be used for cooling.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The temperature control device 100 also includes a temperature control unit 130 disposed on the base 110. The temperature control unit 130 is located on the coolant flow path and downstream of the multiple modules 120, and is used to cool or heat the coolant flowing through itself.

[0071] Under the pumping of the water pump, the coolant to be treated is input from the outside into the water tank, passes through the expansion tank, and then enters the temperature control unit 130. It is cooled or heated in the temperature control unit 130 and then provided to the outside. In this way, the coolant with the target temperature is provided, which can be used to control the ambient temperature.

[0072] Among them, the temperature control unit 130 can be a water cooling unit. Optionally, the water cooling unit includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttle valve and an evaporator constituting a refrigerant circulation loop, wherein the refrigerant can be Freon. The evaporator can be located on the coolant circulation path, and when the coolant flows through the evaporator, it can exchange heat with the low-temperature refrigerant in the evaporator and be cooled. The condenser can also be located on the coolant circulation path, and when the coolant flows through the condenser, it can exchange heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the condenser and be heated. The temperature control unit 130 can also be a heating tube, a semiconductor cooling device, etc., which is not limited to the specific ones, as long as the temperature of the coolant can be processed. The coolant can be water, ethylene glycol, etc., which is not limited to the specific ones.

[0073] Preferably, the temperature control device 100 is fixed on the base 110. When the temperature control device 100 needs to be repaired and maintained, sufficient repair space can be provided by removing other modules 120. In this way, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

[0074] In some embodiments, the temperature control device 100 further includes a housing 140, which is mounted on the base 110 and encloses the base 110 to form an installation space, and the plurality of modules 120 are located in the installation space. In this case, the housing 140 can be used to protect the components inside the temperature control device 100, which helps to increase the service life of the temperature control device 100.

[0075] When a module 120 needs to be repaired, the temperature control device 100 disconnects the connection between the module 120 and other modules 120, then operates the module 120 to a free state, and then removes the module 120 from the base 110 and sends it to a maintenance site with a larger space, so that the module 120 can be repaired and maintained in a larger maintenance space, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and maintenance operations of the staff. After the maintenance and repair is completed, the module 120 is sent back to the base 110 and operated to a fixed state to firmly connect the base 110 and the module 120, and at the same time, the module 120 is connected to other modules 120 to access the coolant flow path, so that the temperature control device 100 can enter the refrigeration operation. Compared with the prior art, the whole machine module 120 is modularized, and when maintenance and repair are required, the module 120 that needs maintenance and repair can be removed from the base 110 separately, so that the maintenance and repair work can be carried out in a larger space, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and repair operations of the staff and helps to improve the maintenance and repair efficiency.

[0076] In addition, a temperature control system 1000 is also provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 , including a heat exchange device 200 and the temperature control device 100 provided in any of the above embodiments, the heat exchange device 200 is connected between the end and the beginning of the coolant flow path in the temperature control device 100, and forms a coolant circulation loop with the temperature control device 100, and the heat exchange device 200 adjusts the external temperature by the coolant flowing through itself.

[0077] In actual use, the temperature control device 100 is used as an outdoor unit and the heat exchange device 200 is used as an indoor unit. When the coolant provided by the temperature control device 100 enters the heat exchange device 200, heat can be exchanged with the external airflow through the heat exchange device 200, thereby adjusting the external temperature.

[0078] The heat exchange device 200 may be a fan coil unit, a surface cooler or the like, and is not specifically limited thereto.

[0079] In the temperature control system 1000, when a module 120 in the temperature control device 100 needs to be repaired, the connection between the module 120 and other modules 120 is disconnected, and then the module 120 is operated to a free state, and then the module 120 is removed from the base 110 and sent to a maintenance site with a larger space, so that the module 120 can be repaired and maintained in a larger maintenance space, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and maintenance operations of the staff. After the maintenance and maintenance is completed, the module 120 is sent back to the base 110 and the module 120 is operated to a fixed state to firmly connect the base 110 and the module 120, and at the same time, the module 120 is connected to other modules 120 to access the coolant flow path, so that the temperature control device 100 can enter the refrigeration operation. Compared with the prior art, the whole machine module 120 is modularized, and when maintenance and maintenance are required, the module 120 that needs maintenance and maintenance can be removed from the base 110 separately, so that the maintenance and maintenance work can be carried out in a larger space, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and maintenance operations of the staff and helps to improve the maintenance and maintenance efficiency.

[0080] Since the temperature control system 1000 includes the temperature control device 100 in the above embodiment, it includes all other beneficial effects in the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0081] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
