DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] An industrial liquid nitrogen refrigerator device. It includes a liquid nitrogen box 1 and a cold storage box 2. The liquid nitrogen box 1 and the cold storage box 2 are both configured as hollow shells. The cold storage box 2 is arranged above the liquid nitrogen box 1. The cold storage box 2 is used to hold refrigerated items, and the liquid nitrogen box 1 is used for refrigeration.

[0040] An air intake module is provided between the liquid nitrogen box 1 and the cold storage box 2. The air intake module connects the chambers of the liquid nitrogen box 1 and the cold storage box 2. The cold air in the liquid nitrogen box 1 enters the cold storage box 2 through the air intake module.

[0041] Specifically, the air intake module includes a through hole 8 and an air intake pipe 4 .

[0042] The through hole 8 is formed on the top plate of the liquid nitrogen box 1. The air inlet pipe 4 is installed on the bottom plate of the cold storage box 2 and communicates with the through hole 8.

[0043] The cold air in the liquid nitrogen box 1 enters the cold storage box 2 through the through hole 8 and the air inlet pipe 4.

[0044] Furthermore, the air intake module also includes a first groove 7 and a sealing block 3 .

[0045] The first groove 7 is coaxially arranged with the through hole 8 , and the first groove 7 is opened above the through hole 8 .

[0046] The sealing block 3 is mounted on the bottom plate of the refrigerator 2. The air inlet pipe 4 is mounted on the sealing block 3, and one end of the air inlet pipe 4 close to the refrigerator 2 is located in the chamber of the refrigerator 2.

[0047] When the cold storage box 2 is placed on the liquid nitrogen box 1, the sealing block 3 cooperates with the first groove 7 to achieve the positioning effect to facilitate the installation of the cold storage box 2. At the same time, the sealing block 3 can play a sealing role to prevent air leakage at the connection between the through hole 8 and the air inlet pipe 4 when the cold storage box 2 is installed on the liquid nitrogen box 1.

[0048] In order to increase the air intake amount, a plurality of the air intake modules may be provided.

[0049] The air intake module is provided with an adjustment module, and two adjustment modules are arranged on each air intake module.

[0050] The baffle 12 is movably connected to the through hole 8, and the baffle 12 is configured to adjust the moving distance according to the gravity, so as to adjust the air intake of the air intake module. When the gravity of the refrigerator 2 is large, the baffle 12 moves a large distance so that the opening of the through hole 8 is larger, and more cold air enters the refrigerator 2. When the gravity of the refrigerator 2 is small, the baffle 12 moves a small distance so that the opening of the through hole 8 is smaller, and less cold air enters the refrigerator 2. In this way, the amount of cold air entering the refrigerator 2 can be controlled according to the gravity of the refrigerator 2.

[0051] In one embodiment, a gravity sensor may be provided on the refrigerator 2, and an electric rod may be provided on the refrigerator 2. The electric rod and the gravity sensor are connected via a program. The gravity sensor detects the gravity and adjusts the extension and retraction amount of the electric rod.

[0052] As another embodiment, the baffle 12 is located below the through hole 8. A plurality of fixing blocks 15 are fixedly mounted on the liquid nitrogen box 1. A sliding hole 14 is provided on the baffle 12, and the fixing block 15 is located in the sliding hole 14 and is slidably connected to the sliding hole 14.

[0053] A second spring 16 is fixedly mounted between the slide hole 14 and the fixed block 15 . One end of the second spring 16 is fixedly mounted on the fixed block 15 , and the other end of the second spring 16 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the slide hole 14 .

[0054] The regulating module comprises: a push block 9 , a connecting plate 10 , a first spring 11 and a push hole 13 .

[0055] The push block 9 is slidably mounted in the through hole 8. The push block 9 is located above the baffle 12, and the push block 9 is located on one side of the through hole 8.

[0056] The connecting plate 10 is provided with two connecting plates 10, which are respectively located on both sides of the push block 9 and are slidably connected with the through hole 8. Specifically, a vertical groove matching with the connecting plate 10 is provided on the side wall of the through hole 8, and the connecting plate 10 is slidably connected with the vertical groove.

[0057] Two first springs 11 are provided and correspond one to one with the connecting plates 10. One end of the first spring 11 is fixed on the connecting plate 10, and the other end of the first spring 11 is fixed on the bottom wall of the vertical groove.

[0058] The push hole 13 is formed on the baffle 12. The lower end of the push block 9 close to the fixed block 15 is configured as an inclined surface, and the end surface of the push hole 13 close to the fixed block 15 is matched with the inclined surface of the push block 9.

[0059] When the cold storage box 2 is not installed on the liquid nitrogen box 1 , the baffles 12 of the two regulating modules completely block the through hole 8 , and the cold air in the liquid nitrogen box 1 cannot flow out.

[0060] When the cold storage box 2 is placed on the liquid nitrogen box 1, the air inlet pipe 4 contacts the upper end of the push block 9 and pushes the push block 9 to move downward, and the first spring 11 is compressed and deformed. When the push block 9 moves downward, the inclined surface of the lower end of the push block 9 contacts the end surface of the push hole 13 close to the fixed block 15, and pushes the baffle 12 to move toward the fixed block 15 through the push hole 13. The fixed block 15 is arranged on the outside of the through hole 8, that is, the baffle 12 moves in the direction away from the axis of the through hole 8, and the two baffles 12 move outward, and there is a gap between the two baffles 12, so that the through hole 8 is opened.

[0061] When the gravity of the cold storage box 2 increases, the distance that the push block 9 descends increases, thereby increasing the distance that the baffle 12 moves outward, so that the opening of the through hole 8 becomes larger. In the above manner, the opening size of the through hole 8 is automatically adjusted according to the gravity of the cold storage box 2, thereby adjusting the amount of cold air from the liquid nitrogen box 1 entering the cold storage box 2.

[0062] When in use, liquid nitrogen is placed in the liquid nitrogen box 1, and the cold storage box 2 with refrigerated items stored inside is placed on the upper part of the liquid nitrogen box 1. When placing, the connecting column 5 is placed in the second groove 17, the sealing block 3 is placed in the first groove 7, and the air inlet pipe 4 enters the through hole 8. Due to the weight of the items inside the cold storage box 2, the sealing block 3 presses the push block 9 downward. The push block 9 overcomes the elastic force of the first spring 11 and moves downward, so that the inclined surface of the push block 9 extends into the push hole 13. And push the baffle 12 to move outward, so that the liquid nitrogen box 1 is connected with the through hole 8, so that the cold air enters the cold storage box 2 from the through hole 8 and the air inlet. Since the sealing block 3 is in sealing contact with the first groove 7 at this time, the cold air will not leak out.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] This embodiment is a further improvement on the first embodiment, and its purpose is to reduce the size of the cold storage box 2 and adjust the space for placing objects according to actual needs.

[0065] Specifically, an industrial liquid nitrogen refrigerator device. The refrigerator box 2 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of refrigerator boxes 2 are stacked up and down. An air intake module and an adjustment module are installed between adjacent refrigerator boxes 2. The structure of the air intake module and the adjustment module between adjacent refrigerator boxes 2 is the same as that of the air intake module and the adjustment module between the liquid nitrogen box 1 and the refrigerator box 2.

[0066] A connection module is provided between the refrigerated box 2 and the liquid nitrogen box 1 and between adjacent refrigerated boxes 2 .

[0067] The connection module comprises: a second groove 17 , a sliding plate 18 , a third spring 19 , a connection column 5 and a locking groove 6 .

[0068] Wherein: the second groove 17 is provided on the upper end surface of the liquid nitrogen box 1. And the second groove 17 is provided on the upper end surface of the liquid nitrogen box 1.

[0069] The sliding plate 18 is located in the second groove 17 and can slide up and down along the second groove 17 .

[0070] The third spring 19 is fixedly mounted below the sliding plate 18. One end of the third spring 19 is fixed on the sliding plate 18, and the other end of the third spring 19 is fixed on the bottom wall of the second groove 17.

[0071] The connecting column 5 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the cold storage box 2 .

[0072] The locking groove 6 is provided on the connecting column 5 and is arranged in plurality along the axial direction of the connecting column 5. A spring pin 20 matching the locking groove 6 is installed in the second groove 17.

[0073] When in use, another refrigerator 2 is placed on the upper refrigerator 2 or there are many items in the refrigerator 2, and the mass increases, so that the amount of the upper sealing block 3 entering the first groove 7 increases, that is, the force of the push block 9 to overcome the elastic force of the first spring 11 increases, so that the amount of the push block 9 moving downward increases. The amount of the baffle 12 to overcome the external movement of the second spring 16 increases, so that the cold air can enter the through hole 8 through the larger gap between the two baffles 12 and then enter the upper refrigerator 2, thereby meeting the cooling needs of a large amount of materials in the upper refrigerator 2 or providing more cold air upward for the refrigerator 2 above.

[0074] When the items in the upper refrigerator 2 are taken out, the upper refrigerator 2 can be removed and pressurized so that the first spring 11 pushes the push block 9 to move upward, so that the baffle 12 moves inward under the elastic force of the second spring 16, reducing the channel for the cold air to flow upward, thereby reducing the loss of cold air and improving the utilization rate of liquid nitrogen.

[0075] After placing the refrigerator 2, the connecting column 5 moves downward to press the sliding plate 18 and press the spring pin 20 outward, so that the spring pin 20 is inserted into the locking groove 6 after the refrigerator 2 moves to a suitable position, making the refrigerator 2 placed on the upper part more stable and avoiding accidental tipping. When the upper refrigerator 2 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to pull out the spring pin 20 and then lift the refrigerator 2 upward.

[0076] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
