Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ice sculpture printing, and in particular to a self-propelled ice sculpture printing system and method. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional ice sculpture production process, the collection, storage and transportation of ice sculpture materials require a lot of costs, and there are many environmental restrictions. Every year, a lot of staff are required to work together. Carvers usually need to carve by hand in a cold environment, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also often requires rushing the deadline, which has a great impact on the health of the staff. The ambient temperature also has a great impact on ice sculptures. Often the sun at noon in winter will partially melt the ice sculptures, which has a greater impact on ice sculptures with fine structures. With the development of science and technology, people have begun to explore the use of 3D printing technology to make ice sculptures in order to improve efficiency and accuracy. However, existing 3D printing technology is mostly used to print materials such as plastics and metals, and there are many challenges in directly applying it to ice sculpture printing. For example, the physical properties of ice are different from those of traditional printing materials. It will melt at room temperature, so a low-temperature environment is required to keep it in a solid state. In addition, the printing accuracy and stability of ice sculptures are extremely high, and the temperature and water supply during the printing process need to be precisely controlled. Therefore, developing a self-propelled ice sculpture printing system and method can effectively solve the above problems, have important practical value and market potential, and make ice sculptures a common thing in villages, towns, shopping malls, and streets, and beautiful the environment of winter cities.

[0065] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a self-propelled ice sculpture printing system, comprising:

[0066] Ice sculpture printing equipment and control system 19, control system 19 is connected with ice sculpture printing equipment, control system 19 is used to control ice sculpture printing equipment to perform ice sculpture printing;

[0067] The ice sculpture printing device includes a base 1, a pure water tank 2, a distilled water tank 3, a nozzle control arm 4, a filling water nozzle 5, a printing nozzle 6, a refrigerant tank 7 and an ice sculpture hose 8;

[0068] The pure water tank 2 is connected to the first refrigerator 9, the distilled water tank 3 is connected to the first refrigerator 9, the pure water tank 2 is connected to the filling water nozzle 5 through the first water pump 10, the distilled water tank 3 is connected to the printing nozzle 6 through the second water pump 11, the filling water nozzle 5 and the printing nozzle 6 are both installed on the super-cold refrigerator 12, and the super-cold refrigerator 12 is installed on the nozzle control arm 4; the refrigerant liquid tank 7 is connected to the second refrigerator 13, the refrigerant liquid tank 7 is connected to the ice sculpture hose 8 through the third water pump 14, the ice sculpture hose 8 is arranged in the ice sculpture 15, and the ice sculpture 15 is installed on the base 1;

[0069] The control system 19 includes: a collection module, a processing module and a control module;

[0070] The collection module is used to collect the operation data of the ice sculpture printing device, the operation data including the first real-time temperature of the pure water tank 2 and the distilled water tank 3, the second real-time temperature and real-time flow of the print nozzle 6, the third real-time temperature of the ice sculpture hose 8, and the fourth real-time temperature of the surrounding environment of the ice sculpture 15;

[0071] The processing module is used to analyze the operation data and set the operation status of the ice sculpture printing device;

[0072] The control module is used to control the ice sculpture printing device according to the operating state set by the processing module;

[0073] Standard operating parameters are set in the control module, and the standard operating parameters include standard operating data of the first refrigerator 9, standard operating data of the second refrigerator 13, standard operating data of the super-cold refrigerator 12, standard operating data of the first water pump 10, standard operating data of the second water pump 11, standard operating data of the third water pump 14 and standard operating data of the nozzle control arm 4; the control module controls the initial operating states of the first refrigerator 9, the second refrigerator 13, the super-cold refrigerator 12, the first water pump 10, the second water pump 11, the third water pump 14 and the nozzle control arm 4 according to the standard operating parameters.

[0074] It is understandable that the refrigerant stored in the refrigerant tank 7 is salt water, and the concentration of the salt water can be configured according to demand. When salt substances (such as sodium chloride) are added to water, the freezing point of the salt water will decrease. This is because the dissolution of salt will interfere with the structure of water molecules, making it more difficult for water molecules to form a solid structure at low temperatures, thereby increasing the difficulty of freezing. When the concentration of salt water is low, the reduction in freezing temperature is not obvious, but as the concentration of salt water increases, the freezing temperature will gradually decrease. When the concentration of salt water reaches a certain level, the freezing temperature can be reduced to negative degrees Celsius. Therefore, passing salt water into the hose can not only cool the ice sculpture 15, but also prevent the refrigerant in the hose from freezing. The refrigerator and the super-cold refrigerator 12 can be driven by external electricity.

[0075] It can be seen that the ice sculpture printing device is installed on a self-propelled chassis 16, such as a truck or other movable device, which is convenient for loading the ice sculpture printing device and moving it to print the ice sculpture 15 required at a fixed position, wherein the movable device is battery-driven.

[0076] Dyes can be added to the distilled water tank 3 and the pure water tank 2 to make the ice sculpture 15 present colorful colors. In addition, a light source can be pre-buried in the ice sculpture 15 to make the ice sculpture 15 more colorful. The distilled water is the raw material for printing the ice shell on the surface of the ice sculpture 15, and the pure water is the material for filling the inside of the ice sculpture 15.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, a quick connector 17 is provided at the inlet of the ice sculpture hose 8 , and the refrigerant tank 7 is connected to the ice sculpture hose 8 via the quick connector 17 .

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the ice sculpture 15 is disposed in an ice sculpture printing area, and an enclosure 18 is disposed around the ice sculpture printing area, and the enclosure 18 is used to isolate the ice sculpture 15 from the external environment and form a low-temperature environment;

[0079] The ice sculpture 15 includes an ice sculpture shell and an ice sculpture interior. The ice sculpture shell is printed by a printing nozzle 6 , and the ice sculpture interior is printed by a filling water nozzle 5 .

[0080] The enclosure is made of thermal insulation material, which can effectively isolate the ice sculpture from the external environment, thereby reducing the impact of the external temperature on the ice sculpture. The height and structure of the enclosure are designed just right, which not only ensures the stability of the ice sculpture, but also ensures the formation of a low-temperature environment.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the acquisition module includes: a first temperature sensor, arranged in the pure water tank and the distilled water tank, for detecting a first real-time temperature in the pure water tank and the distilled water tank; a second temperature sensor, arranged in the print head, for detecting a second real-time temperature of the print head; a flow sensor, arranged in the print head, for detecting the real-time flow of the print head; a third temperature sensor, arranged in the ice sculpture hose, for detecting a third real-time temperature of the ice sculpture hose; a fourth temperature sensor, arranged around the ice sculpture, for detecting a fourth real-time temperature of the surrounding environment of the ice sculpture.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the processing module is used to analyze the operating data and set the operating status of the ice sculpture printing equipment, including: the first real-time temperature is the average of the water temperature in the pure water tank and the water temperature in the distilled water tank; the cooling power of the first refrigerator is set according to the first real-time temperature; the cooling power of the super-cold refrigerator is set according to the second real-time temperature; the working power of the second water pump is set according to the real-time flow rate; and the cooling power of the second refrigerator is set according to the third real-time temperature and the fourth real-time temperature.

[0083] The processing module is a crucial component of the ice sculpture printing equipment. It is responsible for real-time monitoring and adjusting the operating status of the equipment to ensure the accuracy and stability of the printing process. The module collects key data through a series of sensors and makes intelligent analysis and decisions based on this data.

[0084] First, the processing module calculates the average temperature of the water in the pure water tank and the distilled water tank. This average is called the first real-time temperature. This temperature is crucial to the ice sculpture printing process because it affects the solidification speed and quality of the material. According to the first real-time temperature, the processing module automatically adjusts the cooling power of the first refrigerator to keep the water temperature within the ideal range, thereby ensuring that the printed ice sculpture has the required fineness and structural stability.

[0085] Secondly, the processing module monitors another key parameter - the second real-time temperature, which is the temperature of the super-cold refrigerator. The super-cold refrigerator is responsible for cooling the water to a temperature close to freezing point for printing. The processing module sets the cooling power of the super-cold refrigerator based on this temperature to ensure that the water temperature remains at the optimal state for high-quality ice sculpture printing.

[0086] Real-time flow is also one of the parameters that the processing module needs to monitor. It will set the working power of the second water pump according to the current water flow. The power of the water pump needs to be precisely controlled to ensure that water is delivered to the print head at the right speed and pressure, which is crucial for printing fine ice sculpture structures.

[0087] Finally, the processing module also monitors the third real-time temperature and the fourth real-time temperature, which represent the temperatures of different environments or parts of the equipment. Based on these two temperature values, the processing module sets the cooling power of the second refrigerator. The second refrigerator is usually used to adjust the ambient temperature of the printing area to prevent the heat generated during the printing process from affecting the quality of the ice sculpture.

[0088] The processing module ensures that the ice sculpture printing equipment operates in the best condition through real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis, thus achieving high-quality ice sculpture print output.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the processing module sets the cooling power of the first refrigerator according to the first real-time temperature, including: determining whether the first real-time temperature is within the range of [0℃, 5℃], if the first real-time temperature is within the range of [0℃, 5℃], then the cooling power of the first refrigerator is not adjusted; if the first real-time temperature is not within the range of [0℃, 5℃], then determining a first temperature difference between the first real-time temperature and 0℃, and setting the cooling power of the first refrigerator according to the first temperature difference.

[0090] In the temperature control system, the processing module is responsible for adjusting the working state of the refrigeration equipment according to the real-time temperature data. Specifically, the processing module monitors and obtains the current temperature of the environment where the first refrigerator is located in real time, that is, the first real-time temperature. Based on this temperature data, the processing module performs a series of judgments and calculations to ensure that the power output of the refrigeration equipment can meet the actual demand.

[0091] First, the processing module checks whether the first real-time temperature is within the preset temperature range, i.e., [0°C, 5°C]. If the first real-time temperature falls within this range, the processing module will not make any adjustments to the cooling power of the first refrigerator. This means that the refrigeration equipment will maintain its current working state and continue to cool with the existing power output.

[0092] However, if the first real-time temperature is not within the range of [0°C, 5°C], the processing module will take further measures. At this time, the processing module will calculate the difference between the first real-time temperature and 0°C, that is, the first temperature difference. This difference reflects the degree of deviation between the current temperature and the target temperature. The processing module will set the cooling power of the first refrigerator according to this difference. In this way, the processing module can ensure that the first refrigerator can work with appropriate power under different temperature conditions, so as to achieve the best cooling effect.

[0093] In summary, the processing module can flexibly adjust the refrigeration power of the first refrigerator through real-time monitoring and calculation to adapt to changes in ambient temperature, ensuring that the refrigeration equipment can operate efficiently and stably under different conditions.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the processing module sets the cooling power of the ultra-cold refrigerator according to the second real-time temperature, including: comparing the second real-time temperature with -5°C, if the second real-time temperature is lower than or equal to -5°C, then the cooling power of the ultra-cold refrigerator is not adjusted; if the second real-time temperature is higher than -5°C, then determining the second temperature difference between the second real-time temperature and -5°C, and setting the cooling power of the ultra-cold refrigerator according to the second temperature difference.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the processing module sets the working power of the second water pump according to the real-time flow, including: determining the flow difference between the real-time flow and the preset flow; setting the working power of the second water pump according to the flow difference; wherein a first flow difference, a second flow difference and a third flow difference are preset, and the first flow difference, the second flow difference and the third flow difference increase in sequence; setting the working power of the second water pump according to the relationship between the flow difference and the first flow difference, the second flow difference and the third flow difference; if the flow difference is less than the first flow difference, the working power of the second water pump is set to the first working power P1; if the flow difference is greater than or equal to the first flow difference, and the flow difference is less than the second flow difference, the working power of the second water pump is set to the second working power P2; if the flow difference is greater than or equal to the second flow difference, and the flow difference is less than the third flow difference, the working power of the second water pump is set to the third working power P3; if the flow difference is greater than or equal to the third flow difference, the working power of the second water pump is set to the fourth working power P4; wherein, P1<P2<P3<P4.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the processing module sets the cooling power of the second refrigerator according to the third real-time temperature and the fourth real-time temperature, including: determining whether the fourth real-time temperature is less than 0°C; if the fourth real-time temperature is less than or equal to less than 0°C, determining the third temperature difference between the third real-time temperature and the standard temperature, and determining the cooling power of the second refrigerator according to the third temperature difference; if the fourth real-time temperature is greater than 0°C, determining the third temperature difference between the third real-time temperature and the standard temperature, and determining the temperature sum value between the third temperature difference and the fourth real-time temperature, and determining the cooling power of the second refrigerator according to the temperature sum value.

[0097] The processing module sets the cooling power of the second refrigerator according to the third real-time temperature and the fourth real-time temperature. The specific operation is as follows: First, determine whether the fourth real-time temperature is less than 0°C. If the fourth real-time temperature is less than or equal to 0°C, it means that the temperature of the surrounding environment of the ice sculpture is very low. In this case, the processing module calculates the third temperature difference between the third real-time temperature and the preset standard temperature. Then, the cooling power of the second refrigerator is determined based on this third temperature difference to ensure that the system operates within a safe temperature range while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

[0098] If the fourth real-time temperature is greater than 0°C, it means that the temperature of the environment around the ice sculpture is high, which may cause the ice sculpture to melt and needs to be cooled. In this case, the processing module will also calculate the third temperature difference between the third real-time temperature and the standard temperature. In addition, the processing module will also calculate the temperature sum between the third temperature difference and the fourth real-time temperature. This temperature sum reflects the degree of deviation between the current temperature state and the ideal state. Based on this temperature sum, the processing module will determine the cooling power of the second refrigerator to ensure efficient operation of the system while keeping the temperature within the set range.

[0099] In this way, the processing module can intelligently adjust the cooling power of the second refrigerator according to the real-time temperature data, which not only ensures the cooling efficiency but also ensures the safe and stable operation of the system.

[0100] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a self-propelled ice sculpture printing system method, which is applied to the above-mentioned self-propelled ice sculpture printing system, including:

[0101] The operation data of the ice sculpture printing device is collected, and the operation data includes a first real-time temperature of the pure water tank, a second real-time temperature and real-time flow of the printing nozzle, a third real-time temperature of the ice sculpture hose, and a fourth real-time temperature of the surrounding environment of the ice sculpture.

[0102] Analyze the operating data and set the operating status of the ice sculpture printing equipment.

[0103] The ice sculpture printing equipment is controlled according to the set operating status.

[0104] Among them, the operation data is analyzed and the operation status of the ice sculpture printing equipment is set, including: setting the cooling power of the first refrigerator according to the first real-time temperature; setting the cooling power of the super-cold refrigerator according to the second real-time temperature; setting the working power of the second water pump according to the real-time flow rate; setting the cooling power of the second refrigerator according to the third real-time temperature and the fourth real-time temperature.

[0105] It can be seen that by collecting and analyzing the operating data of the ice sculpture printing device in real time, the working state of the device can be controlled more accurately, thereby improving the efficiency of ice sculpture printing. For example, the cooling power of the first refrigerator is set according to the first real-time temperature; the cooling power of the super-cold refrigerator is set according to the second real-time temperature, which can ensure that water enters the printing nozzle at an appropriate temperature and avoid printing quality problems caused by too high or too low water temperature.

[0106] By monitoring the fourth real-time temperature of the environment around the ice sculpture, the refrigeration power of the second refrigerator can be adjusted according to the ambient temperature, thereby ensuring that the ice sculpture remains stable within a certain temperature range and avoiding melting or deformation of the ice sculpture due to changes in ambient temperature.

[0107] By real-time monitoring and analysis of the operating data of the ice sculpture printing equipment, it is possible to accurately control the working status of the equipment and avoid energy waste. For example, by setting the working power of the second water pump according to the real-time flow rate, it is possible to avoid excessive work of the water pump and thus save electricity.

[0108] By real-time monitoring and adjustment of the operating status of the ice sculpture printing device, the wear of the device can be reduced and the service life of the device can be extended. For example, by setting the cooling power of the second refrigerator according to the third real-time temperature and the fourth real-time temperature, the refrigerator can be prevented from running at high load for a long time, thereby reducing the failure rate.

[0109] The present invention uses an automated control system to monitor and adjust the ice sculpture printing equipment in real time, which reduces the difficulty of manual operation and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the system can automatically adjust the working state of the equipment according to different ice sculpture printing requirements, and has strong adaptability and flexibility.
