Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a complete set of transport boxes, in particular to a complete set of container-type cold energy refrigerated transport boxes, belonging to the technical field of refrigerated transport equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the refrigerated transportation process of food in the existing technology, refrigerated containers or refrigerated trucks are usually used for transshipment. For food that needs to be refrigerated, how to reduce the dry loss of food is a major difficulty that needs to be overcome in this field. Excessive dry loss means that the food will lose its fresh and plump appearance and appear to wilt significantly; and for frozen fish, it will oxidatively decay, the surface will turn yellow-brown, and the nutritional value will be reduced. Generally speaking, the reasons for dry loss are as follows: first, the freezing or cooling time is too long, that is, after the food enters, the temperature cannot be lowered to the set temperature in a short time, resulting in uneven temperature and humidity in the warehouse, and large fluctuations; second, due to the first defect, personnel need to frequently enter and exit the warehouse to stack the food, coat the food with ice, etc., resulting in a large heat flow; third, the external heat pump equipment will generate heat when it works and transfer it to the warehouse, causing the temperature in the warehouse to rise, and the cooling effect of the heat pump equipment itself cannot be well balanced with this point, resulting in a large temperature fluctuation in the warehouse. To address this issue, existing technologies typically use temperature sensors and fan speed control to adjust the incoming airflow and thus adaptively adjust the temperature. However, this approach has the drawback that simply changing the air speed does not change the cooling temperature of the heat exchanger, resulting in still high energy consumption for the heat pump. The heat pump itself generates heat, affecting the internal temperature, causing a significant temperature rise, and still failing to address the problem of excessive dry power consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to design a transport device that can reasonably control the rate and magnitude of temperature change. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, the end cover covers the surface of the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit; the support is provided with a receiving seat for receiving the refrigerated transport box on the upper side or the side; the refrigerated transport box is a container body or a vehicle-mounted refrigerated box.
[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: by arranging the second heat exchange unit and the first heat exchange unit on the top and side of the refrigerated transport box, and connecting them to the compressor and condenser through bypasses and flow paths of different lengths, the refrigerant circulation time is different, thereby making the cooling time of the second heat exchange unit and the first heat exchange unit different. This design can achieve the following modes:
[0016] 1) Before transportation, when the temperature inside the cabinet needs to be quickly lowered, the circulation bypass and flow path of the second heat exchange unit and the first heat exchange unit can be opened simultaneously. The condenser and compressor simultaneously compress and cool the refrigerant in the two bypass and flow paths, and then return the refrigerant to the first and second heat exchange units. After the goods are placed in the cabinet, the temperature inside the cabinet can be quickly lowered to the predetermined temperature, avoiding the problem of food drying out due to a low cooling rate;
[0017] 2) During transportation, since the cabinet is kept at a low temperature, if the dual bypass and flow paths are kept open at the same time, the cabinet temperature will easily drop too low and energy consumption will be extremely high. At this time, the operating temperature of the condensing end and the compression end (condenser and compressor) is obtained through temperature sensors. The preset parameters are used to determine the heat flow impact at the current temperature. One of the bypass and flow paths is selectively closed to reduce the workload of the condensing end and the compression end. While the temperature is being lowered, the single bypass and flow path is still operating, but the cooling range is reduced due to the reduction in refrigerant. This can prevent the cabinet temperature from being too low. It also avoids the problem of a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabinet.
[0018] 3) Also during the transportation process, since the two bypasses and the flow path have different lengths, the refrigerant's running cycle in the two bypasses and the flow path is of different lengths. That is to say, the cooling rates of the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit are different. The first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit can be flexibly selected to be combined and operated or to be operated separately according to the temperature conditions in the cabinet. When operating separately, the two heat exchange units can provide different cooling gradients, which can be adjusted, cross-used or integrated according to parameters such as the operating temperature of the condensing end and the compression end, the outdoor temperature, the insulation capacity of the refrigerated transport box, and the energy consumption requirements.
[0019] For example, when the external ambient temperature is low, the refrigerant circuit of the second heat exchange unit is much longer than that of the first heat exchange unit; therefore, the cooling effect of the first heat exchange unit is stronger. At this time, due to the low external ambient temperature, the internal cooling capacity requirement is lower, so the second heat exchange unit can be turned on alone. At this time, the condensing end and the compression end only work for the second heat exchange unit, which greatly reduces the load.
[0020] When the external ambient temperature is high, in order to maintain the temperature environment inside the warehouse, while avoiding the condensing end and the compression end working in dual flow paths and generating a large amount of heat, the first heat exchange unit with stronger cooling capacity is turned on alone. This can meet the requirement of maintaining the temperature inside the warehouse while the condensing end and the compression end are not working at full load and the temperature is lower. In this way, there is no need to arrange complex refrigerant flow control valves in the heat source to control the circulation of refrigerant, and a more reasonable temperature gradient can be obtained, making the adjustment process more reliable, stable and energy-saving.
[0021] 4) A water receiving tray is arranged on the lower side of the first heat exchange unit and the second heat exchange unit, and the water receiving tray is connected to the water collecting tank; the water collecting tank can not only utilize the water source inside the water storage tank, but also receive the condensed water generated at the heat exchange unit position, and transport it to the water distribution pipe through the pump body. The water distribution pipe is evenly sprinkled on the surface of each stacked food, and then enters the low-temperature cooling to form ice. In this way, there is no need for manual entry to sprinkle water, which reduces heat flow fluctuations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
