Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of freeze-drying machine, more particularly, the present application relates to a vacuum freeze-drying machine capable of maintaining uniform temperature. BACKGROUND

[0002] The uniformity of temperature during the working process of the freeze-drying machine has a great influence on the drying effect of the goods. Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, it is a pilot machine model of our company, which is mainly used for small batch production and production parameter adjustment before large batch production of production machine after pilot machine verification. It belongs to a transition machine type, so there are still some problems compared with the production machine when small batch production is carried out. Taking the cooling stage of the freeze-drying machine as an example, when the temperature of the partition plate is reduced to the set temperature such as-50 DEG C, the temperature of the side wall of the drying chamber is about-10 DEG C, and the temperature difference is large, which leads to the temperature difference between the edge of the partition plate and most of the area of the partition plate. Because the inner wall of the drying chamber can absorb the energy of the partition plate, the more the position of the partition plate is close to the side wall of the drying chamber, the more energy is absorbed, so that the temperature of the edge of the partition plate is slightly higher than that of other positions. Therefore, it also leads to the fact that the yield of the material close to the edge of the partition plate is low when small batch production is carried out. Therefore, how to make the temperature of the center of the partition plate and the edge of the partition plate uniform is the technical problem to be solved by the present application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments so as to enable those skilled in the art to carry out the application according to the description herein.

[0048] It should be understood that the terms such as "have", "contain" and "include" used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0049] As shown in the drawings, Figures 1-15 The application provides a vacuum freeze-drying machine capable of maintaining uniform temperature, comprising: a drying chamber 1 for placing materials;

[0050] At least one partition plate 2 arranged in the drying chamber 1, a tray for placing materials or containers is placed above the partition plate 2, and a refrigeration medium is used to cool the materials or containers placed thereon during freezing;

[0051] A vacuum pumping device in communication with the drying chamber 1 through a cold trap, the partition plate 2 is heated after being cooled to a set temperature. At the same time, the vacuum pumping device pumps the drying chamber 1 to vacuum, so that the water in the materials sublimates, and the gaseous water is condensed into frost when passing through the cold trap and is collected;

[0052] A medium circulation device for circulating, refrigerating and heating the refrigeration medium outside the drying chamber 1;

[0053] The drying chamber 1 is provided with a circulation pipe 3 in communication with the medium circulation device, the partition plate 2 is a hollow structure, the partition plate 2 is provided with a medium channel formed in an S shape by a plurality of guide plates, and the two ends of the medium channel are a medium inlet end and a medium outlet end, respectively; the medium circulation device is composed of a refrigeration system connected with a heat exchanger and used to control the temperature of the heat exchanger, and a circulation pump connected with the heat exchanger and used to circulate the refrigeration medium, the medium inlet end of the circulation pipe 3 is in communication with the heat exchanger, the medium outlet end of the circulation pipe 3 is in communication with the circulation pump, and the refrigeration system is connected with the cold trap and used to control the temperature of the cold trap.

[0054] The medium outlet end of the circulation pipe 3 is provided with a medium heating device. The principle of the application in the process of vacuum freeze-drying is the same as that of the prior art, that is, the refrigeration medium is cooled by the refrigeration system, and the refrigeration medium can be selected as silicon oil. The cooled refrigeration medium enters the drying chamber 1 through the circulation pipe 3 connected with the heat exchanger. First, the refrigeration medium flows into the partition plate 2 from the medium inlet end of the partition plate 2, and the medium channel in the partition plate 2 is in an S shape, Figure 3As shown in Figure B, by setting up a medium channel to increase the flow path of the medium within the partition 2, the cooling effect of the partition 2 is increased. Finally, the refrigerant leaves the partition 2 through its outlet and flows towards the heat exchanger via the circulation pipe 3. The circulation pump assists in the flow and circulation of the refrigerant. Since the refrigeration system can only cool the refrigerant, a medium heating device is usually added before the refrigerant circulates back to the heat exchanger to regulate its temperature. During sublimation, the partition 2 can be heated. This medium heating device can be a heating kettle or any commercially available equipment or existing technology. The cold trap is also connected to the refrigeration system, allowing the system to cool the cold trap while simultaneously cooling the refrigerant, enabling the cold trap to condense the vaporized water into frost. Because the drying chamber 1 is typically made of stainless steel, it absorbs heat from the drying chamber 1 during refrigeration, resulting in a higher temperature at the edge of the partition 2 compared to the center. Figure 4 As shown, if the user intends to use it for mass production, equipment with better uniformity can be used. However, this invention is primarily designed for our pilot-scale machine, which is a model used for small-batch production and parameter adjustments after theoretical verification through a test machine. It is a model that can balance production and experimentation. The temperature difference problem mentioned in the background art has always existed in pilot-scale machines. Therefore, we have adjusted the circulation pipe 3 to minimize the uneven temperature between the edge and center of the partition 2 caused by the inner wall material of the drying chamber 1.

[0055] The circulation pipe 3 consists of a heat-insulating portion 31 disposed on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 or at the edge of the partition 2 and communicating with the partition 2, and a conveying portion communicating with the partition 2. The heat-insulating portion 31 is connected to the conveying portion, and the function of the conveying portion is the same as that of the circulation pipe 3 in conventional technology, which is only used to transport the refrigerant. The connection between the heat-insulating portion 31 and the conveying portion mentioned in this invention is intended to illustrate that the refrigerant can reach the partition 2 from the conveying portion and then enter the heat-insulating portion 31 from the partition 2. That is, after the refrigerant enters the partition 2 via the conveying portion, it is transported back to the medium circulation device by the heat-insulating portion 31. Alternatively, the refrigerant can reach the partition 2 from the heat-insulating portion 31 and then enter the conveying portion from the partition 2. That is, after the refrigerant enters the partition 2 via the heat-insulating portion 31, it is transported back to the medium circulation device by the conveying portion.

[0056] The insulation components 31 can be arranged in an S-shape, such as... Figure 6The temperature maintaining part 31 is arranged on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and is distributed on the inner top, inner bottom, and three side walls of the drying chamber 1 except the sealing door 8, so as to isolate the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 from the partition 2, so that the edge of the partition 2 can maintain low temperature through the temperature maintaining part 31, and the temperature of the center and edge of the partition 2 is uniformized, as shown in Figure 5

[0057] Similarly, the positional relationship between the temperature maintaining part 31 and the conveying part can be adjusted, for example:

[0058] When the medium inlet end of the medium channel is communicated with the medium circulating device through the conveying part of the circulating pipe 3, the medium outlet end of the medium channel is communicated with the medium circulating device through the temperature maintaining part 31 of the circulating pipe 3, in this case, the refrigerant entering the drying chamber 1 through the heat exchanger will first flow through the partition 2 to cool the material thereon, and then enter the temperature maintaining part 31 to maintain the uniformity of the temperature, and this setting mode is suitable for a small-sized pilot machine, because the refrigerant circulates quickly, and the temperature difference between the temperature maintaining part 31 and the partition 2 can be basically ignored;

[0059] When the medium inlet end of the medium channel is communicated with the medium circulating device through the temperature maintaining part 31 of the circulating pipe 3, the medium outlet end of the medium channel is communicated with the medium circulating device through the conveying part of the circulating pipe 3, in this case, the refrigerant entering the drying chamber 1 through the heat exchanger will first flow through the temperature maintaining part 31, and then enter the partition 2 to cool, and this setting mode is suitable for a large-sized pilot machine, so that the refrigerant first flows through the temperature maintaining part 31 to increase the cold release between the partition 2 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and avoid affecting the uniformity of the temperature of the partition 2, because this embodiment adopts the cold diffusion through the temperature maintaining part 31 first, so as to appropriately reduce the temperature of the refrigerant entering the temperature maintaining part 31, so as to ensure that the refrigerant will not affect the cooling effect of the partition 2 when it flows through the partition 2, and also because the temperature of the refrigerant entering the temperature maintaining part 31 needs to be appropriately reduced, so that this setting mode is more suitable for a large-sized pilot machine.

[0060] ​In the above, we provide a most simple method to improve the heat uniformity at the edge and center of the partition 2, that is, to set the temperature insulation part 31 to reduce the temperature between the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 and the edge of the partition 2. In actual application, because the temperature insulation part 31 will increase the path of the circulating pipe 3 in the drying chamber 1, resulting in the increase of the power consumption of the refrigeration system, therefore, under the premise of ensuring the heat uniformity through the above-mentioned embodiment, how to shorten the length of the temperature insulation part 31 as much as possible to reduce the power consumption of the refrigeration system is needed to be considered. For this purpose, we provide three kinds of heat blocking devices 5, 6, 7 arranged on the temperature insulation part 31 to improve the cold diffusion efficiency of the temperature insulation part 31.

[0061] In the first embodiment, the temperature insulation part 31 is provided with the heat blocking device 5;

[0062] When the temperature insulation part 31 is arranged on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, the temperature insulation part 31 is connected with the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 through the heat blocking device 5. It should be noted that the connection here can be fixed connection, indirect connection, abutment or spacing arrangement, for example, a gap is reserved between the temperature insulation part 31 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and a gap is also reserved between the heat blocking device 5 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1;

[0063] When the temperature insulation part 31 is arranged at the edge of the partition 2, the heat blocking device 5 extends between the upper and lower adjacent two partitions 2. Taking two layers of partitions 2 as an example, the heat blocking device 5 needs to extend from the bottom of the lower partition 2 to the upper side of the material of the upper partition 2.

[0064] The heat blocking device 5 is composed of a first extension part 51 and a second extension part 52 extending away from the temperature insulation part 31, the extension directions of the first extension part 51 and the second extension part 52 are opposite, the first extension part 51 is provided with a groove for connecting with the temperature insulation part 31, the S-shaped temperature insulation part 31 can be inserted into the groove, and the connection and heat transfer with the heat blocking device 5 are realized through the groove. As shown in the figure. Figure 6 The length of the first extension part 51 is greater than the length of the second extension part 52, and the first extension part 51 and the second extension part 52 are both arranged perpendicularly to the temperature insulation part 31. The heat blocking device 5 in this embodiment is the simplest in production process and the most simple in installation method, which can be punched from a plate material with good thermal conductivity, and after unfolding, it can be directly bent into a three-dimensional shape as shown in the figure. Figure 8 Figure 7 The more important thing is that this embodiment can be directly applied to the products sold by our company, such as Figures 1-2 ​The length of the first extension 51 is longer, and its main purpose is to increase the diffusion area of cold as much as possible. According to the different positions of the temperature insulation part 31 in the drying chamber 1 and the connection position with the partition plate 2, the setting direction is also different. For example:

[0065] When the refrigerant enters the partition plate 2 through the temperature insulation part 31, because the temperature of the temperature insulation part 31 is lower than that of the partition plate 2, we usually set the temperature insulation part 31 at a position close to the edge of the partition plate 2. The first extension 51 extends to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, so that the cold can quickly diffuse to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. Because the cold diffusion range and area of the first extension 51 are larger than those of the second extension 52, the position of the drying chamber 1 inner wall absorbing cold can be as far away from the edge of the partition plate 2 as possible, thereby avoiding affecting the temperature of the edge of the partition plate 2. The second extension 52 extends to the partition plate 2 to provide cold to the edge of the partition plate 2 and is located between the upper and lower adjacent partition plates 2. The second extension 52 needs to span two partition plates 2 to maintain the uniformity of the edge temperature and the center temperature of the partition plate 2.

[0066] When the refrigerant enters the medium circulating device through the temperature insulation part 31, we usually set the temperature insulation part 31 at a position close to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The first extension 51 extends to the partition plate 2, and the second extension 52 extends to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. The principle is similar to the above, and will not be repeated here.

[0067] In the second embodiment, the temperature insulation part 31 is provided with a heat blocking device 6.

[0068] When the temperature insulation part 31 is arranged on the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, the temperature insulation part 31 is connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 through the heat blocking device 6, and a gap is reserved between the temperature insulation part 31 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1.

[0069] When the temperature insulation part 31 is arranged at the edge of the partition plate 2, the heat blocking device 6 extends between the upper and lower adjacent partition plates 2.

[0070] In the second embodiment, we usually set it at a position close to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and compared with the first embodiment, the temperature insulation part 31 in this embodiment can adopt a shorter path.

[0071] The heat blocking device 6 is composed of at least one pipe upper extension 61 and pipe lower extension 62 extending away from the temperature insulation part 31, and a mounting part 63 for fixing the pipe upper extension 61, pipe lower extension 62 and the temperature insulation part 31. The pipe upper extension 61 and the pipe lower extension 62 are the same structure, and are arranged in a symmetrical form, as shown in Figure 9 , 10 The pipe upper extension 61 and the pipe lower extension 62 are composed of a reflux section 64 and a drainage section 65 for changing and guiding temperature flow direction. The drainage sections 65 of adjacent pipe upper extension 61 and pipe lower extension 62 are connected, and the circulation pipe 3 of the temperature insulation part 31 is located at the connection of the pipe upper extension 61 and the pipe lower extension 62, and is located near one side of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1.

[0072] The reflux section 64 is curved in a semicircular arc shape, and the opening direction of the reflux section 64 is opposite to the partition plate 2. Through the reflux section 64, the cold quantity diffused to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 can be collected, and the diffusion direction can be changed through the semicircular arc bending, so that the cold quantity can be backflowed to the edge of the partition plate 2 through the drainage section 65. The drainage section 65 is arc-shaped, the drainage section 65 of the pipe upper extension 61 is located below the reflux section 64 of the pipe upper extension 61, and the drainage section 65 of the pipe lower extension 62 is located above the reflux section 64 of the pipe lower extension 62. The temperature insulation part 31 is located between the heat blocking device 6 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and the cold quantity diffused by the temperature insulation part 31 is blocked by the heat blocking device 6, so that the cold quantity diffused by the temperature insulation part 31 can only be absorbed by the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 and the heat blocking device 6, thereby avoiding affecting the temperature at the edge of the partition plate 2.

[0073] In the third embodiment, the temperature insulation part 31 is provided with a heat blocking device 7.

[0074] The temperature insulation part 31 is arranged at the edge of the partition plate 2, and the heat blocking device 7 extends to the upper and lower adjacent partition plates 2.

[0075] The heat blocking device 7 is a sleeve 71 sleeved on the temperature insulation part 31, and at least four edge extensions 72 extending away from the sleeve 71 are arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 71, which respectively extend towards the direction of the baffle 2, the direction of the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and the direction between the baffle 2 and the upper and lower two adjacent baffles 2. The outer wall of the sleeve 71 is provided with a connecting extension 73, and two adjacent edge extensions 72 in different extension directions are connected through the connecting extension 73. In this embodiment, the most common implementation of increasing the diffusion area is adopted, that is, the cold of the temperature insulation part 31 is guided to the edge extensions 72 through the sleeve 71, and the cold is diffused to the upper, lower, inner and outer edges of the baffle 2 through the edge extensions 72. Since the diffusion directions are perpendicular to each other, in order to enable the edge extensions 72 at the corners to realize the transmission of cold, the connecting extension 73 is arranged and extends radially outward from the sleeve 71, as shown in Figure 11 , to provide cold for the edge extensions 72 at the corners.

[0076] Compared with the previous two embodiments, the cold diffusion is more uniform, and the structure is small and more suitable for use in small-volume pilot machines.

[0077] In the above embodiments, the temperature insulation part 31 is added to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1 to ensure that the edge of the baffle 2 is not affected by the inner wall of the drying chamber 1. Next, we need to solve the temperature differentiation problem between the opening of the drying chamber 1, that is, the sealing door 8 of the drying chamber 1 and the edge of the baffle 2. As mentioned earlier, because the pilot machine of our company is a transitional model, it is used not only for small-batch production, but also for production parameter adjustment and experiments. In order to facilitate the observation of the changes of the internal materials, the transparent sealing door 8 is usually used in the pilot machine. Therefore, the temperature difference between the edge of the baffle 2 near the sealing door 8 and the sealing door 8 is larger, and the yield is lower. Since the sealing door 8 needs to be opened and closed frequently, it is not possible to set the temperature insulation part 31 as in the above scheme. Therefore, the structure of the sealing door 8 is optimized, especially at the position of the transparent acrylic or glass, the heat preservation and heat insulation structure is optimized. The inner wall of the sealing door 8 is provided with a first adjustment partition 81 and a second adjustment partition 82, and the first adjustment partition 81 and the second adjustment partition 82 are movably connected through a partition plate 83. The first adjustment partition 81, the second adjustment partition 82 and the partition plate 83 have the same structure and are composed of a mounting strip 85 provided with a plurality of flaps 84 and a heat preservation plate 86 movably connected with the flaps 84 on the mounting strip 85. The flaps 84 are arranged in a staggered manner, and the heat preservation plate 86 is arranged between the flaps 84 of the mounting strip 85, as shown in Figure 15As shown, it is composed of a cylindrical structure for hinging with the mounting strip 85, and a clamping plate provided on the cylindrical structure for clamping the thermal insulation plate 86. The mounting strip 85 can be a groove structure, the cylindrical structure is located in the groove, and the two ends of the cylindrical structure are hinged with the inner wall of the groove. The thermal insulation plate 86 is inserted into the clamping plate, and the clamping plate is provided with a column for connecting with the thermal insulation plate 86. The thermal insulation plate 86 is provided with a hole that can be sleeved on the column. When installing, the thermal insulation plate 86 is inserted into the clamping plate, and the hole on the thermal insulation plate 86 is sleeved on the column. When the first adjusting partition 81 and the second adjusting partition 82 move, the thermal insulation plate 86 can rotate relative to the clamping plate. The mounting strip 85 of the first adjusting partition 81 and the second adjusting partition 82 is movably connected with the track groove 88 on the sealing door 8 through the sliding block 87. The thermal insulation plate 86 of the first adjusting partition 81 and the thermal insulation plate 86 of the second adjusting partition 82 are arranged alternately up and down, so that the first adjusting partition 81 and the second adjusting partition 82 can be attached together. As shown in FIG. 9, Figure 13 When small-batch production is carried out, it is not necessary to observe the internal materials through the sealing door 8. At this time, we can slide the first adjusting partition 81 and the second adjusting partition 82 to the two ends of the track groove 88 respectively. At this time, the first adjusting partition 81, the second adjusting partition 82 and the partition plate 83 are located in the same plane. By rotating the flap 84, the thermal insulation plate 86 is in a parallel state with the sealing door 8. At this time, the upper and lower adjacent two thermal insulation plates 86 can be attached at the edge, so as to be spliced into a whole thermal insulation plate for insulating the interior of the drying chamber 1. If it is necessary to observe the internal materials, the thermal insulation plate 86 at the corresponding position is turned over, so that the thermal insulation plate 86 at this part is in a parallel state with the sealing door 8. The remaining thermal insulation plates 86 are still parallel to the sealing door 8 and attached to each other, so as to reduce the area of the sealing door 8 exposed in the drying chamber 1 under the premise of ensuring the observation of the internal condition, thereby reducing the influence of the sealing door 8 on the temperature uniformity of the edge and the center of the partition plate 2. When it is necessary to completely open the first adjusting partition 81 and the second adjusting partition 82, as shown in FIG. 10, Figure 13 the first adjusting partition 81 or the second adjusting partition 82 is slid until they are attached together, and the partition plate 83 is placed between the partition plate 2 and the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, thereby facilitating the observation of the interior of the drying chamber 1 during the experiment.
