Description

Technical Field

During the cooling process, the air cooling units discharge heat into the air in vain, causing thermal pollution. On the other hand, milking plants need a large amount of hot water at high temperatures of 70-80 degrees and medium temperatures of 35-40 degrees. The existing hot water solution is to use coal-fired boilers to heat water, which seriously pollutes the environment. The operating costs of electric heating and gas are very high, and the maintenance costs of solar pipe bursts and frozen pipes are very high.

The milk outlet pipeline at the milking machine end passes through the primary cooling heat exchanger to the milk storage tank. In the technology disclosed in the patent, the compressor still adopts a temperature-based control method. This control method will cause the protein structure in the milk to be destroyed due to the feedback hysteresis between the compressor equipment and the temperature sensor, and then the temperature rises or drops too fast, causing the temperature to rise or fall too fast.

[0018] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figure 1 - As shown in 3, according to one aspect of the present invention, a milk tank refrigeration and high-medium and high-temperature hot water cogeneration system is provided, including a milk tank evaporator, a throttling expansion valve, a high-temperature water tank, a medium-temperature water tank, a high-temperature heat exchanger, and a medium-temperature heat exchanger, and also includes: a sensor, a data acquisition module, an analysis and processing module, an execution module, a compensation optimization module, and an alarm triggering module; the execution module specifically includes compressor 1, compressor 2, and compressor 3. Compressor 1 is used to pump the high-temperature steam in the milk tank evaporator into the high-temperature heat exchanger for heat exchange and then enter the medium-temperature heat exchanger for heat exchange. After two heat exchanges, the high-temperature steam will flow back to the milk tank evaporator through the throttling expansion valve; compressor 2 is used to pump the refrigerant liquid in the high-temperature water tank into the high-temperature heat exchanger for heat exchange to absorb the heat of the high-temperature steam, and the refrigerant liquid after absorbing the heat flows back to the high-temperature water tank for heat exchange; compressor 3 is used to pump the refrigerant liquid in the medium-temperature water tank into the medium-temperature heat exchanger for heat exchange to absorb the waste heat of the high-temperature steam, and the refrigerant liquid after absorbing the heat flows back to the medium-temperature water tank for heat exchange (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure), the high-temperature steam in the milk tank evaporator is pumped into the high-temperature heat exchanger through compressor 1. At this time, compressor 2 can flow the refrigerant liquid connecting the high-temperature water tank and the high-temperature heat exchanger, so that the heat in the high-temperature steam is exchanged to the high-temperature water tank. And the discharged steam will enter the medium-temperature heat exchanger again, and compressor 3 can flow the refrigerant liquid between the medium-temperature water tank and the medium-temperature heat exchanger for heat exchange, so that the remaining heat in the steam will be exchanged to the medium-temperature water tank. The condensed water of the steam discharged from the medium-temperature heat exchanger flows back to the milk tank evaporator to cool the milk tank evaporator. In this way, the milk tank refrigeration and energy-free high and medium temperature hot water are completed in a repetitive manner.

[0021] The data acquisition module is used to collect the temperature, pH value, protein concentration and fat concentration data detected by the sensor, and feed the data back to the analysis and processing module. The sensors specifically include temperature sensors, pH sensors, protein sensors and fat sensors; the analysis and processing module is used to determine the working state of compressor one according to the temperature of the high-temperature water tank and the medium-temperature water tank, the pH value of the milk in the milk tank evaporator, the protein concentration and the fat concentration; determine the working state of compressor two according to the temperature of the high-temperature water tank and the state of compressor one; determine the working state of compressor three according to the temperature of the medium-temperature water tank and the state of compressor one (such as Figure 3 As shown), the working state of the compressor 1 and whether the working state should be adjusted can be determined by the absolute value of the difference between the pH value of the milk in the milk tank evaporator and the set threshold value, as well as the increase in protein and fat concentration per unit time.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the analysis and processing module determines the working state of the compressor 1 according to the absolute value of the difference between the pH value of the milk in the milk tank evaporator and the set threshold value, as well as the increment of the protein and fat concentration per unit time, which is: ; In the formula, represents the working state coefficient of compressor 1, Indicates the absolute value of the difference between the pH value of the milk in the milk tank evaporator and the set threshold value. It indicates the increase of milk protein in the milk tank evaporator per unit time. It indicates the increase of milk fat in the milk tank evaporator per unit time.

[0024] when When , it means that the flowing water content in the milk tank evaporator is too high. At this time, the compressor needs to increase the working power, and the increased working power shall not exceed 30%; when When , it means that the flowing water content in the milk tank evaporator is moderate, and there is no need to increase or reduce the working power of compressor 1; when When , it means that the flowing water content in the milk tank evaporator is low. At this time, the compressor needs to reduce the working power, and the reduced working power shall not exceed 30%.

[0025] The absolute value of the difference between the pH value of the milk in the milk tank evaporator and the set threshold is taken as (The absolute value of the difference = |the pH value of the milk in the milk tank evaporator currently detected - the pH value of the milk tank evaporator under normal conditions|. The pH value of the milk tank evaporator under normal conditions is pH=6.5).

[0026] The increment of milk protein per unit time in the milk tank evaporator (unit , the increment of each sampling is not less than 2. The increment per unit time = (content after evaporation - content before evaporation) ÷ unit time).

[0027] The increment of milk fat in the milk tank evaporator per unit time is (unit , the increment of each sampling is not less than 2. The increment per unit time = (content after evaporation - content before evaporation) ÷ unit time). Then:

[0028] From the above calculation, we can know that the working state coefficient of compressor 1 is At this time, the flowing water content in the milk tank evaporator is moderate, and the compressor does not need to increase or reduce the working power. By comparing multiple sets of data:

[0029] From the above calculation, we can know that when the sample data tends to infinity, the state coefficient will be used to express the state of the milk in the evaporator. When , it means that the flowing water content in the milk tank evaporator is too high; when When , it means that the flowing water content in the milk tank evaporator is moderate; when When , it means that the flowing water content in the milk tank evaporator is low.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the analysis and processing module determines the working state of compressor two or compressor three according to the temperature of the high-temperature water tank or the medium-temperature water tank and the state of compressor one, which is: ; In the formula, Indicates the working state coefficient of compressor 2 or compressor 3, represents the working state coefficient of compressor 1, Indicates the working time of compressor 2 or compressor 3 at the current power. Indicates the initial detection temperature of the high temperature water tank or medium temperature water tank. Indicates that the high temperature water tank or medium temperature water tank is working in the compressor The temperature detected after a certain period of time.

[0032] when When , it means that compressor 2 or compressor 3 needs to increase the working power at this time, and the increased working power shall not exceed 30%; when , it means that there is no need to increase or decrease the working power of compressor 2 or compressor 3; when , it means that compressor 2 or compressor 3 needs to reduce its operating power, and the reduced operating power shall not exceed 30%.

[0033] Among them, the working state coefficient of compressor 2 is calculated. The working time of compressor 2 at the current power is (minutes). The initial test temperature of the high temperature water tank is (℃). After 10 minutes, the temperature of the high temperature water tank is (℃). The working state coefficient of compressor 1 is . Then we have: ; From the above calculation, we can know that the working state coefficient of compressor 2 is . Comparison of multiple groups of data are:

[0034] From the above calculation, we can know that when the sample data tends to infinity, there will be a relationship based on the state coefficient to express whether to increase the compressor power. Then, when When , it means that the compressor needs to increase its working power, and the increased working power shall not exceed 30%; when When , it means that there is no need to increase or decrease the working power of compressor 1; when When , it means that the compressor needs to reduce its working power at this time, and the reduced working power shall not exceed 30%.

[0035] Example 4

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the compensation optimization module is used to receive the output of the execution module and feed back to the analysis and processing module and the alarm trigger module to compensate for the error of the analysis and processing module sending instructions to the execution module. The alarm trigger module is used to receive feedback from the analysis and processing module and the compensation optimization module, and trigger the alarm instruction according to whether the temperature of the high-temperature water tank or the medium-temperature water tank is higher than the set threshold, and the pH value, protein concentration and fat concentration of the milk in the milk tank evaporator are lower than the set threshold. The display control module is used to display the detection data of the sensor and the working status of compressor one, compressor two and compressor three.

[0037] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
