Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of liquid oxygen aerators, and more specifically, relates to a liquid oxygen aerator for cooling air conditioning water. Background Technology
[0002] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioning unit, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow within a building or structure. An air conditioner generally includes several main parts, such as a cold / heat source unit, a cold / heat medium distribution system, and terminal units, as well as other auxiliary equipment. The main components include a refrigeration unit, water pump, fan, and piping system. The terminal units are responsible for utilizing the distributed cold or heat to specifically process the air conditions, ensuring that the air parameters of the target environment meet certain requirements. The main types of air conditioners include: floor-standing air conditioners, wall-mounted air conditioners, water-cooled air conditioners, window air conditioners, central air conditioning, and multi-unit air conditioners.
[0003] Liquid oxygen is the liquid state of oxygen. It has important applications in aerospace, submarines, and the gas industry. Liquid oxygen is a light blue liquid and exhibits strong paramagnetism. It has a wide range of industrial and medical uses. Industrially, liquid oxygen is produced by fractional distillation of liquid air. Liquid oxygen has a high total expansion ratio of 860:1, which is why it is widely used in modern industrial production and military applications. Liquid oxygen gasification supply refers to the supply of oxygen that meets national standards as a source, purified, dehydrated, and compressed to a pressure of no more than 25 MPa at an ambient temperature of -40 to 50°C, and then filled into storage containers.
[0004] Existing ambient air vaporizers have slow heat exchange efficiency when vaporizing liquid oxygen, and frost often forms on the fins. This phenomenon significantly reduces vaporization efficiency, and the frost will spread further during continuous vaporization, leading to icing of the fins and even freezing of the pipes.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a liquid oxygen aerator for cooling air conditioning water.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] A liquid oxygen generator for cooling air conditioning water includes a mounting top plate and a mounting bottom plate, wherein a heat exchange tube is provided on both the mounting top plate and the mounting bottom plate, and the heat exchange tube has a corrugated tube structure.
[0009] The heat exchange tubes are rotatably fitted with heat exchange mechanisms at the vertical pipe locations. The mounting base plate is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the heat exchange mechanism to rotate. The mounting base plate is connected to a first air-cooling mechanism for driving air through the heat exchange mechanism in the height direction. The mounting top plate and the mounting base plate are jointly provided with a second air-cooling mechanism for driving air through the heat exchange mechanism in the horizontal direction.
[0010] Optionally, the heat exchange mechanism includes a toothed ring rotatably fitted at the lower part of the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube and a heat-conducting fan mechanism sleeved on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube. The heat-conducting fan mechanism includes multiple heat-conducting fans sleeved on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube, and multiple connecting plates are provided between two adjacent heat-conducting fans. The toothed ring is connected to the heat-conducting fan located at the bottom end of the heat-conducting fan mechanism, and two adjacent toothed rings mesh with each other.
[0011] Optionally, the lower part of the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube is provided with a bearing corresponding to the toothed ring, and the toothed ring is fixed on the bearing. The toothed ring has a plurality of vent holes arranged circumferentially, corresponding to the heat-conducting impeller.
[0012] Optionally, the heat-conducting impeller includes a ring mechanism sleeved on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube. The ring mechanism includes multiple rings sleeved sequentially on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube. Multiple heat dissipation fan blades are provided on the outer side of the rings, and adjacent rings are fixedly connected by the heat dissipation fan blades. The rings in adjacent ring mechanisms are connected by the connecting plate, and there is a gap between the connecting plate and the heat exchange tube.
[0013] Optionally, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor mounted on the bottom end of the mounting base plate, a gear mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor passing through one end of the mounting base plate, and the gear meshing with a gear ring.
[0014] Optionally, the first air-cooling mechanism includes a U-shaped box disposed on the mounting base plate. The upper side of the inner wall of the U-shaped box is provided with an air outlet corresponding to the heat exchange mechanism. The air outlet is located below the heat exchange mechanism. Multiple first fans are embedded on the opposite outer sides of the U-shaped box. The bottom end of the U-shaped box is provided with a through hole corresponding to the heat exchange tube, and the heat exchange tube passes through the through hole and the air outlet through the U-shaped box.
[0015] Optionally, the second air-cooling mechanism is located in the air box on one side of the mounting top plate and the mounting bottom plate. A second fan is embedded in the side of the air box away from the heat exchange mechanism, and multiple exhaust holes are evenly distributed on the side of the air box close to the heat exchange mechanism.
[0016] Optionally, both the mounting top plate and the mounting bottom plate are provided with mounting holes corresponding to the heat exchange tube, and the heat exchange tube is mounted on the mounting top plate and the mounting bottom plate through the mounting holes.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:
[0018] The gas to be heated is introduced through the inlet end of the heat exchange tube. After flowing through the heat exchange tube, the gas is discharged through the outlet end. The first air-cooling mechanism is activated, and the first fan drives the air into the U-shaped box. Then, the air is discharged through the outlet and blown vertically into the heat-conducting fan wheel. The heat-conducting fan wheel exchanges heat with the heat exchange tube. Then, the drive mechanism is activated, and the drive motor drives the gear to rotate the gear ring, which in turn drives the heat-conducting fan wheel in the heat exchange mechanism to rotate. This accelerates the air flow from the mounting base plate to the mounting top plate, making it easier for the air to travel along the heat exchange tube and pass through the heat-conducting fan wheel to exchange heat with the heat exchange tube. Then, the second air-cooling mechanism is activated, and the second fan drives the air to be blown into the air box. Then, the air is blown horizontally towards the heat exchange tube and the heat exchange mechanism through the exhaust hole, thereby accelerating the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube and the heat exchange mechanism. By setting the heat exchange mechanism to consist of multiple heat-conducting fan wheels, the surface area of the heat exchange mechanism can be increased, which can improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0030] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a liquid oxygen aerator for cooling air conditioning water, including a mounting top plate 1 and a mounting bottom plate 2. A heat exchange tube 3 is provided on both the mounting top plate 1 and the mounting bottom plate 2. The heat exchange tube 3 has a corrugated tube structure.
[0032] The heat exchange tube 3 is rotatably fitted with the heat exchange mechanism 4 at the vertical pipe location. The mounting base plate 2 is provided with a drive mechanism 5 for driving the heat exchange mechanism 4 to rotate. The mounting base plate 2 is connected to a first air-cooling mechanism 6 for driving air to pass through the heat exchange mechanism 4 in the height direction. The mounting top plate 1 and the mounting base plate 2 are jointly provided with a second air-cooling mechanism 7 for driving air to pass through the heat exchange mechanism 4 in the horizontal direction.
[0033] The gas to be heated is introduced through the inlet end of the heat exchange tube 3. After flowing through the heat exchange tube 3, the gas is discharged through the outlet end of the heat exchange tube 3. The first air-cooling mechanism 6 is turned on to drive the air to be blown vertically into the heat-conducting fan wheel 402. The heat-conducting fan wheel 402 exchanges heat with the heat exchange tube 3. Then, the drive mechanism 5 is turned on to drive the heat-conducting fan wheel 402 in the heat exchange mechanism 4 to rotate, thereby accelerating the air to flow from the mounting base plate 2 to the mounting top plate 1. This facilitates the air to pass through the heat-conducting fan wheel 402 along the height direction of the heat exchange tube 3 and exchange heat with the heat exchange tube 3. Then, the second air-cooling mechanism 7 is turned on to drive the air to be blown horizontally towards the heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange mechanism 4, thereby accelerating the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange mechanism 4. By setting the heat exchange mechanism 4 to be composed of multiple heat-conducting fan wheels 402, it is easy to increase the surface area of the heat exchange mechanism 4 and improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0034] The heat exchange mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a toothed ring 401 rotatably fitted at the lower part of the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube 3 and a heat-conducting fan mechanism sleeved on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube 3. The heat-conducting fan mechanism includes multiple heat-conducting fans 402 sleeved on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube 3. Multiple connecting plates 403 are provided between two adjacent heat-conducting fans 402. The toothed ring 401 is connected to the heat-conducting fans 402 located at the bottom of the heat-conducting fan mechanism. Two adjacent toothed rings 401 mesh with each other. By setting the heat exchange mechanism 4 to be composed of multiple heat-conducting fans 402, it is easy to increase the surface area of the heat exchange mechanism 4 and improve the heat exchange efficiency. By setting the toothed ring 401 to be fixedly connected to the heat-conducting fans 402 and the connecting plates 403, it is easy to drive the multiple heat-conducting fans 402 in the heat exchange mechanism 4 to rotate synchronously by driving the toothed ring 401, which is easy to form a vertical air duct and facilitate heat exchange between the heat exchange tube 3, the heat exchange mechanism 4 and the air.
[0035] In this embodiment, the lower part of the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube 3 is provided with a bearing 404 corresponding to the toothed ring 401, and the toothed ring 401 is fixed on the bearing 404. The toothed ring 401 has a plurality of vent holes 405 corresponding to the heat-conducting fan 402 arranged circumferentially. By setting the bearing 404, the stability of the rotation of the toothed ring 401 and the plurality of heat-conducting fan 402 can be improved. By setting the vent holes 405, air can pass through the toothed ring 401 and flow into the heat-conducting fan 402.
[0036] In this embodiment, the heat-conducting fan wheel 402 includes a ring mechanism sleeved on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube 3. The ring mechanism includes multiple rings 4021 sleeved in sequence. The rings 4021 are sleeved on the vertical pipe of the heat exchange tube 3. Multiple heat dissipation fan blades 4022 are provided on the outer side of the rings 4021. Adjacent rings 4021 are fixedly connected by heat dissipation fan blades 4022. The rings 4021 in adjacent ring mechanisms are connected by a connecting plate 403. There is a gap between the connecting plate 403 and the heat exchange tube 3, which facilitates the generation of multiple layers of vertical air ducts by multiple heat dissipation fan blades 4022, thereby improving the stability of the vertical air duct.
[0037] The drive mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes a drive motor 501 mounted on the bottom of the mounting base plate 2 and a gear 502 mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 501 that passes through one end of the mounting base plate 2. The gear 502 meshes with a toothed ring 401, which facilitates the drive motor 501 to drive the gear 502 to rotate the toothed ring 401, thereby driving the heat-conducting fan 402 in the heat exchange mechanism 4 to rotate, thereby accelerating the airflow from the mounting base plate 2 to the mounting top plate 1.
[0038] The first air-cooling mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a U-shaped box 601 mounted on the mounting base plate 2. The upper side of the inner wall of the U-shaped box 601 is provided with an air outlet 602 corresponding to the heat exchange mechanism 4. The air outlet 602 is located below the heat exchange mechanism 4. Multiple first fans 603 are embedded on the outer sides of the U-shaped box 601. The bottom end of the U-shaped box 601 is provided with a through hole 604 corresponding to the heat exchange tube 3. The heat exchange tube 3 passes through the through hole 604 and the air outlet 602 through the U-shaped box 601, so that the first fans 603 can drive air into the U-shaped box 601 and then discharge it through the air outlet 602 and blow it vertically into the heat-conducting fan wheel 402 to exchange heat with the heat-conducting fan wheel 402 and the heat exchange tube 3.
[0039] In this embodiment, the second air-cooling mechanism 7 is located in the air box 701 on one side of the mounting top plate 1 and the mounting bottom plate 2. The second fan 702 is embedded in the side of the air box 701 away from the heat exchange mechanism 4. Multiple exhaust holes are evenly distributed on the side of the air box 701 close to the heat exchange mechanism 4. When the second air-cooling mechanism 7 is turned on, the second fan 702 drives air to be blown into the air box 701, and then blown horizontally towards the heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange mechanism 4 through the exhaust holes, thereby accelerating the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange mechanism 4.
[0040] In this embodiment, both the mounting top plate 1 and the mounting bottom plate 2 are provided with mounting holes 8 corresponding to the heat exchange tube 3, and the heat exchange tube 3 is installed on the mounting top plate 1 and the mounting bottom plate 2 through the mounting holes 8, which facilitates the installation of the heat exchange tube 3 on the mounting top plate 1 and the mounting bottom plate 2.
[0041] Working principle: The gas to be heated is introduced through the inlet end of the heat exchange tube 3. After flowing through the heat exchange tube 3, the gas is discharged through the outlet end of the heat exchange tube 3. The first air-cooling mechanism 6 is activated, and the first fan 603 drives the air into the U-shaped box 601, and then discharges it through the air outlet 602, blowing it vertically into the heat-conducting fan wheel 402. The heat-conducting fan wheel 402 exchanges heat with the heat exchange tube 3. Then the drive mechanism 5 is activated, and the drive motor 501 drives the gear 502 to rotate the gear ring 401, which in turn drives the heat-conducting fan wheel 402 in the heat exchange mechanism 4 to rotate, and then... The accelerated airflow from the mounting base plate 2 to the mounting top plate 1 facilitates the airflow along the heat exchange tube 3, passing through the heat-conducting fan 402 to exchange heat with the heat exchange tube 3. Then, the second air-cooling mechanism 7 is activated, and the second fan 702 drives the air to be blown into the air box 701, and then blown horizontally towards the heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange mechanism 4 through the exhaust hole, thereby accelerating the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange mechanism 4. By setting the heat exchange mechanism 4 to be composed of multiple heat-conducting fan 402, it is easy to increase the surface area of the heat exchange mechanism 4 and improve the heat exchange efficiency.
