[0062] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a refrigeration system comprising: a compressor 10, a condenser 20, and an evaporation branch 30. The outlet of the compressor 10 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 20. The evaporation branch 30 is used to refrigerate the storage space 81 of the storage box 80. At least two evaporators are arranged in series on the evaporation branch 30, and the at least two evaporators are spaced apart on the storage box 80. The evaporation branch 30 has a first connection port 31 and a second connection port 32. The evaporation branch 30 has a first evaporation state and a second evaporation state. When the evaporation branch 30 is in the first evaporation state, the first connection port 31 is connected to the outlet of the condenser 20, and the second connection port 32 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 10. When the evaporation branch 30 is in the second evaporation state, the first connection port 31 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 10, and the second connection port 32 is connected to the outlet of the condenser 20.
[0064] The refrigeration system provided in this embodiment, by switching the evaporation branch 30 to either the first or second evaporation state, effectively improves the refrigeration state of the evaporation branch 30 and adjusts the refrigerant flow to the evaporators corresponding to different positions within the cabinet 80. This adaptively regulates the temperature within the cabinet 80, resulting in a more balanced refrigeration state of the evaporation branch 30 and preventing excessive temperature differences within the cabinet 80. Consequently, it effectively ensures temperature uniformity within the cabinet 80. Therefore, the refrigeration system provided in this embodiment solves the technical problem of poor temperature uniformity within the cabinet 80 of existing storage boxes.
[0065] Specifically, the box 80 mentioned in this application can be understood as the storage space 81.
[0066] The refrigeration system provided in this embodiment can effectively avoid temperature stratification and is particularly suitable for medical, scientific research and food preservation fields that require precise temperature control.
[0067] Specifically, the refrigeration system further comprises a switching structure 40, the first communication port 31, the second communication port 32, the outlet of the condenser 20 and the gas inlet of the compressor 10 are all connected with the switching structure 40, the switching structure 40 has a first switching state and a second switching state; when the switching structure 40 is in the first switching state, the evaporation branch 30 is in the first evaporation state; when the switching structure 40 is in the second switching state, the evaporation branch 30 is in the second evaporation state. With such a structure, the evaporation state of the evaporation branch 30 can be switched smoothly, so that the flow direction of the evaporation branch 30 can be adjusted to change the temperature state of the heat exchange refrigerant flowing into the at least two heat exchangers, thereby facilitating better and more flexible adaptive adjustment of the temperature of the cabinet 80 corresponding to the corresponding evaporator, thereby avoiding the situation that the temperature of the cabinet 80 is too high or too low in some areas, and effectively improving the temperature uniformity in the cabinet 80.
[0068] In the present embodiment, the switching structure 40 is a four-way valve, the four-way valve has a first switching port 41 in communication with the gas inlet of the compressor 10, a second switching port 42 in communication with the second communication port 32, a third switching port 43 in communication with the outlet of the condenser 20, and a fourth switching port 44 in communication with the first communication port 31; when the four-way valve is in the first switching state, the first switching port 41 and the second switching port 42 are in communication, and the third switching port 43 and the fourth switching port 44 are in communication; when the four-way valve is in the second switching state, the second switching port 42 and the third switching port 43 are in communication, and the first switching port 41 and the fourth switching port 44 are in communication. In this way, the structure is simple, and the first switching state and the second switching state of the four-way valve can be switched smoothly to adjust to the first evaporation state or the second evaporation state. The use of the four-way valve not only simplifies the structure of the refrigeration system, but also improves the response speed of the system, and is particularly suitable for occasions that require rapid temperature adjustment, such as rapid cooling of emergency medical supplies.
[0069] Specifically, the refrigeration system further comprises an anti-condensation pipe 50, one end of the anti-condensation pipe 50 is in communication with the outlet of the condenser 20, and the other end of the anti-condensation pipe 50 is in communication with the first communication port 31 or the second communication port 32. In this way, further condensation can be facilitated through the anti-condensation pipe 50 to improve the condensation effect.
[0070] Specifically, the refrigeration system further comprises a throttling member 60, one end of the throttling member 60 is in communication with the outlet of the condenser 20, and the other end of the throttling member 60 is in communication with the first communication port 31 or the second communication port 32. In this way, throttling can be facilitated. Specifically, the throttling member 60 can be a capillary tube.
[0071] Specifically, the refrigeration system further comprises a drying filter 70, one end of the drying filter 70 is in communication with the outlet of the condenser 20, and the other end of the drying filter 70 is in communication with the first communication port 31 or the second communication port 32. In this way, drying and filtering can be facilitated.
[0072] In this embodiment, at least two evaporators are spaced apart along the height of the storage box 80. This structural arrangement facilitates better adjustment of temperature differences caused by variations in the height of the storage box, thereby ensuring temperature uniformity within the box 80. Specifically, based on the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, without adjustment, the temperature of the upper space of the storage space 81 will generally be higher than that of the lower space. The upper space is higher than the lower space. However, the refrigeration system provided in this embodiment effectively solves the temperature difference caused by height. By switching between the first and second evaporation states of the refrigeration system, the temperature difference in the height direction of the storage box is effectively reduced, improving temperature uniformity.
[0073] Specifically, at least two evaporators include a first evaporator 33 and a second evaporator 34, with the first evaporator 33 located above the second evaporator 34.
[0074] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a storage box, which includes a box body 80 and the refrigeration system described above. The box body 80 has a storage space 81. The evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system is disposed in the storage space 81 or in contact with the wall of the box body 80.
[0075] In this embodiment, the storage box further includes a temperature detection device and a control device. The temperature detection device is disposed inside the box body 80 and is used to detect the temperature inside the box body 80. Both the temperature detection device and the refrigeration system are connected to the control device, which controls the refrigeration system based on the detection result of the temperature detection device. This allows the refrigeration system to be controlled according to the detection status of the temperature detection device, so as to switch the evaporation branch 30 to the first evaporation state or the second evaporation state accordingly.
[0076] Specifically, there are at least two temperature sensors, which are spaced apart along the height of the enclosure 80 to facilitate the detection of the temperature at different heights within the enclosure 80 (storage space 81).
[0077] Specifically, at least two temperature sensing elements include a first temperature sensing element 100 and a second temperature sensing element 110, with the first temperature sensing element 100 located above the second temperature sensing element 110.
[0078] Specifically, the enclosure 80 includes a main body and a door, with the door movably mounted on the main body. The temperature sensing element is located on the side of the main body away from the door. Since the door may be opened or closed, the temperature at the door may be lower; therefore, this arrangement improves the accuracy of temperature detection.
[0079] Specifically, the storage box further comprises a plurality of support frames 90, which are arranged in the storage space 81 at intervals to divide the storage space 81 into a plurality of storage sub-areas for facilitating classified storage. Specifically, the plurality of support frames are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the storage space 81.
[0080] As shown in Figure 4 Embodiment three of the present application provides a control method, which is applicable to the above-mentioned storage box and comprises the following steps: obtaining the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 of the box body 80 of the storage box and the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81; and controlling the running state of the compressor 10 of the refrigeration system of the storage box and / or the communication state of the evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system according to the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81. This control method can intelligently adjust the working state of the refrigeration system, ensure the uniformity and stability of the temperature in the storage box, and is suitable for occasions that require automatic temperature management, such as remote medical equipment and unattended scientific research equipment.
[0081] In this embodiment, the control of the running state of the compressor 10 of the refrigeration system of the storage box and / or the communication state of the evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system according to the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 comprises the following steps: comparing the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 with a preset temperature range and comparing the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 with the preset temperature range; and controlling the running state of the compressor 10 of the refrigeration system and / or the communication state of the evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system according to the comparison results of the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the preset temperature range and the comparison results of the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 and the preset temperature range. This precise temperature control strategy can effectively avoid temperature fluctuations and is suitable for scenarios that require constant temperature for a long time.
[0082] Specifically, the preset temperature range is [T0-t1, T0+t1], the upper limit value of the preset temperature range is T0+t1, and the lower limit value of the preset temperature range is T0-t1.
[0083] Specifically, when the evaporation branch 30 is in the first evaporation state, the refrigerant of the evaporation branch 30 is caused to flow from the upper-layer evaporator to the lower-layer evaporator; when the evaporation branch 30 is in the second evaporation state, the refrigerant of the evaporation branch 30 is caused to flow from the lower-layer evaporator to the upper-layer evaporator; the operating state of the compressor 10 of the refrigeration system and / or the connection state of the evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system are controlled according to the comparison results of the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the preset temperature range and the comparison results of the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 and the preset temperature range, including: when the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 are both within the preset temperature range, the evaporation branch 30 is controlled to maintain the first evaporation state, and the compressor 10 is controlled to maintain the current rotating speed; when at least one of the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is not within the preset temperature range, the operating state of the compressor 10 of the refrigeration system and / or the connection state of the evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system are controlled according to the comparison results of the upper-layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the preset temperature range and the comparison results of the lower-layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 and the preset temperature range. This dynamic adjustment mechanism can quickly respond to temperature changes and is suitable for emergency situations that require rapid temperature adjustment. In addition, through the setting of the first evaporation state, the refrigerant can be effectively caused to flow through the upper-layer evaporator first and then through the lower-layer evaporator, thereby effectively ensuring the heat exchange effect of the upper-layer evaporator first and preferentially reducing the temperature of the upper layer of the storage space 81, avoiding the situation that high temperature gathers at a high place and causes the upper-layer temperature to be relatively high.
[0084] Specifically, when at least one of the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is not within the preset temperature range, the control of the operating state of the compressor 10 of the refrigeration system and / or the communication state of the evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system according to the comparison result of the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 with the preset temperature range includes: in the case that the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 is within the preset temperature range and the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is out of the preset temperature range, comparing the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 with the first preset temperature; when the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is less than the first preset temperature, controlling the rotating speed of the compressor 10 to drop to PL and controlling the evaporation branch 30 to maintain in the first evaporation state, at this time, the temperature of the refrigerant can basically meet the refrigeration demand of the evaporator located in the lower layer of the storage space, and by reducing the rotating speed, the residence speed of the refrigerant can be reduced to facilitate sufficient heat exchange refrigeration; when the lower layer temperature of the storage space 81 is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, controlling the rotating speed of the compressor 10 to maintain at the current rotating speed and controlling the evaporation branch 30 to switch to the second evaporation state, in this case, the temperature value of the lower layer temperature is too large, and by switching to the second evaporation state, the refrigerant is preferentially flowed through the evaporator located in the lower layer, thereby facilitating rapid improvement of the temperature of the lower layer. This control strategy can effectively avoid excessive refrigeration and save energy, and is suitable for environments with strict requirements on energy consumption.
[0085] Specifically, the first preset temperature is T0+t2, and the first preset temperature is greater than the upper limit value of the preset temperature range.
[0086] Specifically, after controlling the rotating speed of the compressor 10 to drop to PL and controlling the evaporation branch 30 to maintain in the first evaporation state, the control method further includes: when the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is less than or equal to the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, controlling the rotating speed of the compressor 10 to rise to P0. This control logic ensures accurate control of the temperature in the storage box and avoids the case that the lower layer temperature continues to drop too much.
[0087] After controlling the rotating speed of the compressor 10 to maintain at the current rotating speed and controlling the evaporation branch 30 to switch to the second evaporation state, the control method further includes: when the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is less than or equal to the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, controlling the rotating speed of the compressor 10 to rise to P0 and controlling the evaporation branch 30 to switch to the first evaporation state. In this way, the case that the lower layer temperature of the storage space 81 continues to drop too much can be avoided to achieve accurate control of the lower layer temperature.
[0088] Specifically, when at least one of the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is not within the preset temperature range, the operating state of the compressor 10 of the refrigeration system and / or the communication state of the evaporation branch 30 of the refrigeration system are controlled according to the comparison results of the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 with the preset temperature range, including: when the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is within the preset temperature range, and the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 exceeds the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, the speed of the compressor 10 is controlled to be increased to PR, and the evaporation branch 30 is controlled to be maintained in the first evaporation state; when the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 and the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 both exceed the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, the speed of the compressor 10 is controlled to be increased to PD, and the evaporation branch 30 is controlled to be maintained in the first evaporation state. This control mode can quickly respond to the increase of the upper layer temperature, and is suitable for occasions that require rapid cooling. The above state proves that the temperature of the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator located in the upper layer is also insufficient, at this time, by increasing the speed of the compressor 10, the circulation of the refrigerant can be quickly improved, and the refrigeration demand can be quickly met.
[0089] Specifically, after the speed of the compressor 10 is controlled to be increased to PR and the evaporation branch 30 is controlled to be maintained in the first evaporation state, the control method further includes: obtaining the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81; when the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is less than the lower limit value of the preset temperature range, and the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 is greater than the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, the speed of the compressor 10 is controlled to continue to increase to PI; after the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 is less than or equal to the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, the speed of the compressor 10 is controlled to be reduced to P0. This fine control strategy can ensure accurate control of the temperature in the preservation box, and is suitable for occasions that require preservation of articles under extreme temperature conditions, effectively avoiding damage to the articles due to temperature fluctuations, and improving preservation efficiency and safety.
[0090] Specifically, "when the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is less than the lower limit value of the preset temperature range" can be understood as that the lower layer temperature T2 has reached the shutdown point.
[0091] After the control method controls the compressor 10 to increase the rotating speed to PD and controls the evaporation branch 30 to maintain the first evaporation state, the control method further comprises: obtaining the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81; when the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is less than or equal to the lower limit value of the preset temperature range and the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 is greater than the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, controlling the compressor 10 to increase the rotating speed to PI; when the upper layer temperature T1 of the storage space 81 is less than or equal to the lower limit value of the preset temperature range and the lower layer temperature T2 of the storage space 81 is greater than the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, controlling the evaporation branch 30 to switch to the second evaporation state. This fine control strategy can ensure accurate control of the temperature in the storage box and is suitable for occasions where items need to be stored under extreme temperature conditions, such as sample storage in polar scientific research stations and drug storage in tropical regions, effectively avoiding damage to items due to temperature fluctuations and improving storage efficiency and safety.

[0094] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the low-temperature storage box is powered on, the temperature is set to T0, the compressor is operated at a speed P0, and the four-way valve is initially in the ab communication state (the ab communication state corresponds to a state in which the first switching port 41 and the second switching port 42 are communicated). The upper layer temperature T1 and the lower layer temperature T2 of the box body are detected, and it is determined whether the upper layer temperature T1 and the lower layer temperature T2 are in the range of [T0-t1, T0+t1]. If yes, the current compressor speed and the four-way valve communication state are maintained; if no, it is determined whether the upper layer temperature T1 is in the range of [T0-t1, T0+t1] and the lower layer temperature T2 is greater than T0+t1. If yes, it is further determined whether T0+t1
