It is widely used in industrial production cooling, chemical industry, machinery industry, surface treatment industry, food industry, etc.

[0003] At present, the main structure of the integrated refrigeration unit is a cube. When designed, it uses one-side or two-side air intake and top air intake to introduce cold air, exchange heat with its internal cold source system and refrigeration cycle system, and then discharge the hot air through the upper fan (for details, please refer to the structure and principle shown in https: / / www.xinpianchang.com / a12686186).

[0004] The specification of Chinese patent CN209263399U discloses an integrated refrigeration unit, including a unit base plate, the bottom of the unit base plate is penetrated by base bolts, the top of the unit base plate is fixedly connected to a low support and a high support by the base bolts, the top of the unit base plate is fixedly connected to a DC power supply, and the top of the unit base plate is fixedly connected to a water receiving pan.

[0008] In the above-mentioned integrated refrigeration unit, by setting the refrigerator shell as a cylindrical shell, and providing a top air inlet hole at the upper end of the refrigerator shell and a lower air inlet hole at the lower part, it is possible to introduce cold air from the upper end surface and the lower circumference at the same time. Compared with the existing single-side introduction, the air intake area can be greatly increased, and the amount of cold air entering in the same time period can be increased. In conjunction with the central pipe, the air after heat exchange is discharged by the heat exhaust fan, and a larger area of ​​heat exchange can be performed at the same time, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and thus improving the refrigeration efficiency of the integrated refrigeration unit.

[0009] As a further supplement to the present application, the cold source block is in the shape of a hollow cylinder in the middle, and a plurality of heat dissipation channels are opened on the circumference of the cold source block, and the plurality of heat dissipation channels are distributed in an array along the circumference of the central axis of the central tube.

[0010] As a further supplement to the present application, a plurality of cooling coils are provided, and the plurality of cooling coils are distributed in an array along the circumference of the central axis of the central tube; The upper and lower ends of the plurality of cooling coils are fixed and connected via connectors.

[0011] As a further supplement to the present application, an air inlet notch is provided at the lower end of the central tube, and the air inlet notch corresponds to the opening position of the heat dissipation channel inside the cold source block; An air return hole is opened in the middle of the central tube, and the air return hole is located at the lower end of the heat exchange section and corresponds to the lower end of the cooling coil.

[0012] As a further supplement to the present application, the connecting piece includes a first elbow and a second elbow; The first bend pipe is connected to the pipe openings at the upper parts of two adjacent cooling coils, and the second bend pipe is connected to the pipe openings at the lower parts of two adjacent cooling coils; The first curved pipe and the second curved pipe are arranged alternately, one end of the first curved pipe and one end of the second curved pipe are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of one of the cooling coils, the other end of the first curved pipe is connected to the upper end of another cooling coil, and the other end of the second curved pipe is connected to the lower end of another cooling coil.

[0014] As another improvement of the present application, the cold water delivery system is located at the lower end of the water collecting seat, and the pipeline connecting the cold water delivery system with the water collecting seat and the water spray pipe is located in the refrigerator casing.

[0015] As another improvement supplement to the present application, the inner diameter of the heat dissipation channel at one end close to the central tube is smaller, the inner diameter of the heat dissipation channel at one end away from the central tube is larger, and the inner diameter of the heat dissipation channel gradually increases from the end close to the central tube to the end away from the central tube.

The air after heat exchange is discharged by the heat exhaust fan in cooperation with the central pipe. Specifically, when the heat exhaust fan is in operation, the air in the central pipe is extracted, so that the cold air entering from the lower air inlet hole enters the cold source block through the heat dissipation channel for heat exchange, and then enters the central pipe through the air inlet notch. The cold air entering the heat exchange section from the top air inlet hole exchanges heat with the cooling coil at the same time as the cooling water sprayed from the water spray pipe, and then enters the central pipe through the air return hole. This is conducive to the heat exhaust fan to discharge the hot air after heat exchange between the cooling coil and the cold source block, and can perform heat exchange over a larger area at the same time, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the integrated refrigeration unit. By setting the cold source block and the cooling coil as a cylindrical distribution structure, the cooling coil and the cold source block can cooperate with the cylindrical refrigerator shell, fully utilizing the internal space of the refrigerator shell, increasing the heat exchange area, and facilitating the flow of cooling medium, water and air, further improving the refrigeration efficiency of the integrated refrigeration unit; The first bend pipe and the second bend pipe can connect multiple cooling coils to each other, so that the multiple cooling coils can form a unified whole through fewer pipeline structures, which is convenient for filling the cooling medium and reduces the number of unnecessary pipelines. The structural distribution is more reasonable, which can reduce the use of pipes and reduce equipment costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The following describes two implementation modes of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The first implementation method: The present invention provides an integrated refrigeration unit, see Figure 1-Figure 3 , including a refrigerator shell, the refrigerator shell is a cylindrical shell, and the refrigerator shell includes a water collecting seat 1, a cooling section 2 and a heat exchange section 3 which are integrally formed and interconnected from bottom to top; A heat exhaust fan 6 connected to the inside of the heat exchange section 3 is fixed in the middle of the heat exchange section 3, and a central tube 12 is fixed and connected to the lower end of the heat exhaust fan 6. The central tube 12 is used to suck the air in the cooling section 2 and the lower end of the heat exchange section 3 and discharge it through the heat exhaust fan 6. The lower end of the central tube 12 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the water collecting seat 1, and the central tube 12 and the heat exhaust fan 6 are coaxially arranged with the refrigerator housing; A water spray pipe 8 is provided at the upper end of the heat exchange section 3, a cooling coil 9 located in the heat exchange section 3 is provided below the water spray pipe 8, and a cold source block 10 is provided below the cooling coil 9; The upper end of the heat exchange section 3 is provided with a plurality of top air inlet holes 4 which correspond to the positions of the cooling coils 9 and are distributed in an array along the circumference of the central axis of the heat exchange section 3, and the peripheral side of the cooling section 2 is provided with a plurality of lower air inlet holes 5 which correspond to the positions of the cold source blocks 10 and are distributed in an array along the circumference of the central axis of the cooling section 2; It also includes a cold water delivery system 7, which is connected to the water spray pipe 8 and the water collecting seat 1 through a pipeline, and the cold water delivery system 7 is provided with a pipeline connected to the outside.

[0021] Based on the above structure, by setting the refrigerator shell as a cylindrical shell, and setting a top air inlet hole 4 at the upper end of the refrigerator shell and a lower air inlet hole 5 at the lower part, it is possible to introduce cold air from the upper end surface and the lower circumference at the same time. Compared with the existing single-side introduction, the air intake area can be greatly increased, and the amount of cold air entering in the same time period can be increased. The air after heat exchange is discharged by the heat exhaust fan 6 in conjunction with the central pipe 12, and a larger area of ​​heat exchange can be performed at the same time, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and thus improving the refrigeration efficiency of the integrated refrigeration unit.

[0022] Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 It is shown that the cold source block 10 is in the shape of a hollow cylinder in the middle, and a plurality of heat dissipation channels 11 are opened on the circumference of the cold source block 10. The plurality of heat dissipation channels 11 are distributed in an array along the circumference of the central axis of the central tube 12; A plurality of cooling coils 9 are provided, and the plurality of cooling coils 9 are distributed in an array along the central axis circumference of the central tube 12; By setting the cold source block 10 and the cooling coil 9 as a cylindrical distribution structure, the cooling coil 9 and the cold source block 10 can cooperate with the cylindrical refrigerator shell, fully utilizing the internal space of the refrigerator shell, increasing the heat exchange area, and facilitating the flow of cooling medium, water and air, thereby further improving the refrigeration efficiency of the integrated refrigeration unit.

[0023] The upper and lower ends of the plurality of cooling coils 9 are fixed and connected by a connecting piece, and the connecting piece includes a first curved pipe 16 and a second curved pipe 17; The first bend pipe 16 is connected to the pipe openings at the upper parts of two adjacent cooling coils 9, and the second bend pipe 17 is connected to the pipe openings at the lower parts of two adjacent cooling coils 9; The first curved pipe 16 and the second curved pipe 17 are arranged alternately, and one end of the first curved pipe 16 and one end of the second curved pipe 17 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of one of the cooling coils 9, the other end of the first curved pipe 16 is connected to the upper end of another cooling coil 9, and the other end of the second curved pipe 17 is connected to the lower end of another cooling coil 9.

[0024] The first bend 16 and the second bend 17 can connect the multiple cooling coils 9 to each other, so that the multiple cooling coils 9 can form a unified whole through fewer pipeline structures, which is convenient for filling the cooling medium and reduces the number of unnecessary pipelines. The structural distribution is more reasonable, which can reduce the use of pipes and reduce equipment costs.

[0025] Figure 3-Figure 4 It is shown that an air inlet notch 13 is opened at the lower end of the central tube 12, and the air inlet notch 13 corresponds to the opening position of the heat dissipation channel 11 inside the cold source block 10; An air return hole 14 is provided in the middle of the central tube 12. The air return hole 14 is located at the lower end of the heat exchange section 3 and corresponds to the lower end of the cooling coil 9. When the heat exhaust fan 6 is in operation, the air in the central tube 12 is extracted, so that the cold air entering from the lower air inlet 5 enters the cold source block 10 through the heat dissipation channel 11 for heat exchange, and then enters the central tube 12 through the air inlet notch 13. The cold air entering the heat exchange section 3 from the top air inlet 4 exchanges heat with the cooling coil 9 at the same time as the cooling water sprayed from the water spray pipe 8, and then enters the central tube 12 through the air return hole 14. This is conducive to the heat exhaust fan 6 to discharge the hot air after heat exchange with the cooling coil 9 and the cold source block 10, and effectively perform the refrigeration operation.

[0026] Figure 5 and Figure 7 It is shown that the water spray pipe 8 is a spiral linear pipe structure, and a plurality of spray heads 15 evenly distributed along the lower end of the water spray pipe 8 are fixed to the lower end of the water spray pipe 8, and the spray heads 15 are staggered between two adjacent spray heads 15. The water spray pipe 8 with a spiral linear pipe structure can more effectively cover all cooling coils 9, and cooperate with the evenly distributed spray heads 15 to achieve uniform spraying operation on all cooling coils 9, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect.

[0027] Second implementation method: Figure 8 Another integrated refrigeration unit is shown, which is different from the first embodiment in that: The cold water delivery system 7 is located at the lower end of the water collecting seat 1, and the pipeline connecting the cold water delivery system 7 with the water collecting seat 1 and the water spraying pipe 8 is located in the refrigerator shell.

[0028] Based on the above structure, all systems of the integrated refrigeration unit can be integrated into an integral device, reducing the footprint of the integrated refrigeration unit. At the same time, it can avoid heat loss (mainly manifested as condensed water heating) caused by the pipes of the cold water delivery system 7 being exposed to the outside.

[0029] The inner diameter of the heat dissipation channel 11 at one end close to the central tube 12 is smaller, and the inner diameter of the heat dissipation channel 11 at one end away from the central tube 12 is larger, and the inner diameter of the heat dissipation channel 11 gradually increases from the end close to the central tube 12 to the end away from the central tube 12, so that the flow rate of cold air is accelerated when flowing through the heat dissipation channel 11, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the inner area of ​​the cold source block 10, so that the cold source block 10 can fully exchange heat, thereby enhancing the cooling effect of the integrated refrigeration unit.

[0030] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
