Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration cabinet monitoring, and in particular to a refrigeration structure of an intelligent cabinet and a control system thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of society and people's growing material needs, the demand for transportation capacity in modern society has grown unprecedentedly. In the process of logistics transportation and production use, some products cannot be stored at room temperature, which has given rise to the demand for insulation equipment.
[0003] In order to facilitate the storage and use of refrigerated items, various refrigeration cabinets (including refrigerators) are undoubtedly the most common insulation equipment. Their outstanding feature is that they convert electricity into heat exchange energy, absorb the heat of the stored items to achieve the effect of cooling or maintaining a constant temperature. For example, fresh food or medicines are often stored in refrigeration cabinets.
[0004] The current refrigeration cabinet structure is mainly divided into several parts: cabinet, refrigeration system and electrical system. During application, the cabinet is used as a space for storing materials. The refrigeration system is installed on the cabinet structure or extends into the cabinet. The electrical system is used to control the refrigeration system to cool the stored materials. The current refrigeration system of the refrigeration cabinet is usually composed of a compressor, condenser, evaporator and dry filter.
[0005] Modern refrigeration equipment is beginning to develop towards miniaturization, intelligence and energy saving. At present, the cabinet structure of refrigeration cabinets is mainly a rectangular box with built-in insulation materials, and the evaporator and condenser are arranged on the inner and outer sides of the partition respectively. This structure cannot be quickly replaced during use. When the evaporator or condenser pipeline is damaged, the disassembly and inspection are cumbersome. Secondly, the cabinet structure at this stage mostly adopts pipe connection and laying for heat exchange, so it is not easy to repair in case of leakage, resulting in the need to replace the entire machine.
[0006] Moreover, since some items contain a lot of moisture, during the freezing and refrigeration process, the moisture will cause the humidity inside the cabinet to increase, which will then cause ice to form inside the cabinet, which will not only reduce the heat absorption capacity of the evaporator and the heat exchange efficiency, but also the presence of the frost layer will easily affect the detection accuracy and effect of the temperature sensor, resulting in poor cooling effect. At present, the thermal insulation cabinet can only be automatically opened and then defrosted, which seriously affects the working efficiency of the thermal insulation cabinet. In view of this, in-depth research was conducted on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the present case. Summary of the invention

[0028] Temperature monitoring module: Digital temperature sensors distributed at multiple detection points on the inner wall of the storage tank transmit temperature signals to the control panel through shielded cables. When the detected regional temperature difference ΔT≥5°C and lasts for 10 minutes, the defrosting program is triggered;
[0029] Refrigerant circulation control module: Including a control valve seat and a switching valve, switching the refrigeration and defrosting mode passages through solenoid valves;
[0030] Refrigeration mode: The refrigerant flow direction is from the compressor to the condenser to the evaporator to the control valve seat and back, and the evaporator absorbs the heat of the storage tank;
[0031] Defrosting mode: The switching valve closes the evaporator passage and guides the high-temperature refrigerant directly to the radiator to heat the inner wall of the storage tank;
[0032] Flux detector: Monitoring the refrigerant flow rates of the condenser, radiator and evaporator, triggering an audible and visual alarm when the flow rate deviation > 15%;
[0033] Compressor management module: A fully enclosed scroll refrigeration compressor, controlled by the PLC for starting, stopping and operating frequency, adapted to the R134a environmental refrigerant, connected to the control valve seat through a flange joint, and driving the refrigerant circulation by pressure;
[0034] Defrosting execution module: Integrating a PWM voltage regulating chip through an excitation control board, programming to set the excitation amplitude and frequency, driving the electromagnet to generate periodic suction force, the electromagnet pulling the excitation block to reciprocate at a frequency of 5 Hz and a stroke of ±3 mm, and transmitting micro-vibrations to the inner wall of the storage tank through the silica gel protective sleeve to accelerate the ice layer peeling;

[0038] Beneficial effects
[0039] The present invention provides a refrigeration structure and its control system for an intelligent cabinet.

The refrigeration heat exchange components are connected by quick-disassembly interfaces and elastic seals, supporting local replacement to reduce maintenance costs. The refrigerant circulation system is linked by electromagnetic valves and flux detectors to accurately regulate the working modes of the evaporator and radiator.

The intelligent control system integrates three-dimensional temperature field monitoring and flow feedback, automatically locates faults and optimizes operation parameters, ensuring the long-term stability of the equipment. The overall solution takes into account high reliability, low maintenance costs and fast response capabilities, and is suitable for high-demand scenarios such as medical treatment and cold chain. Specifically, it has the following advantages:
[0040] 1. Modular and quick replacement: The refrigeration heat exchange components are combined with the guide groove through elastic buckles and the socket-type fluororubber sealing interface to realize the independent disassembly and replacement of the single-side evaporator or radiator, reducing the maintenance cost and downtime of local faults.
[0041] 2. Efficient coordinated defrosting: The electromagnetic valve switches the refrigerant path and is linked with the vibrator. The high-temperature refrigerant directly passes through the radiator to heat the inner wall. At the same time, the vibrator vibrates at 5 Hz to peel off the ice layer. The two modes cooperate to shorten the defrosting cycle and reduce energy consumption.
[0042] 3. Precise refrigerant regulation: The flux detector monitors the refrigerant flow rate in real time, and combines with the PLC to dynamically adjust the compressor frequency and the opening of the control valve to ensure that the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator and the condenser matches the temperature field requirements of the storage tank.
[0043] 4. Multi-stage sealing against leakage: The connecting component uses a 45° conical surface to compress the stainless steel insertion tube and the fluororubber ring gasket, and cooperates with the ±2mm stroke compensation deformation of the elastic buckle to ensure that the refrigerant passage still remains leak-free after frequent disassembly and assembly.
[0044] 5. Intelligent diagnosis and maintenance: The three-dimensional temperature field data is linked with the abnormal threshold of the refrigerant flow rate, automatically locates the fault area and guides the replacement of the corresponding refrigeration and heat exchange components, reducing manual troubleshooting and the loss of the whole machine scrapping.

[0057] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention
[0058] Please refer to Figures 1-11 , the present invention provides an implementation solution: In the application process of modern refrigeration equipment, the refrigeration cabinet body structure is mainly a rectangular box body, with heat insulation materials built in the box body, and the evaporator 77 and the condenser 51 are respectively arranged on the inside and outside of the partition layer. Firstly, this structure cannot be quickly disassembled and replaced during application. When the pipelines of the evaporator 77 or the condenser 51 are damaged, the disassembly and inspection are cumbersome. Secondly, at present, most of the cabinet body structures use pipeline connection and laying for heat exchange, so it is not easy to repair in case of leakage, resulting in the need to replace the whole machine. Moreover, at present, the refrigeration box body will frost on the inner wall during application, resulting in inaccurate detection results and low refrigeration efficiency. The conventional defrosting methods are inefficient and inconvenient to use
[0059] Example 1: To address the above problems, according to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-11It can be known that the present application discloses a refrigeration structure for an intelligent cabinet, including a housing 1. The housing 1 is a rectangular steel structure shell, rolled from cold-rolled steel plates and treated with electrostatic spraying on the surface to enhance the anti-corrosion performance. The housing 1 is the supporting main body of the device. Two pairs of rollers 11 provided at the four corners of the housing 1 make it more convenient to move the cabinet, with a single-wheel load-bearing capacity of 200 kg. Furthermore, a maintenance slot is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and a maintenance door 12 is assembled on the maintenance slot. The maintenance door 12 and the maintenance slot are of a split structure. A pair of buckles are provided at the end of the maintenance door 12, and the buckles are locked with the lock on the maintenance slot through spring pins, which is convenient for quickly maintaining the compressor 2 and the pipeline system. A compressor 2 is provided inside the maintenance door 12. The compressor 2 is a fully enclosed scroll refrigeration compressor 2, fixed to the inside of the maintenance door 12 by bolts, and is adapted to the R134a environmental protection refrigerant. When there is a fault in the cabinet, the internal equipment can be maintained by opening the maintenance door 12.
[0060] According to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-3 It can be known that a storage tank 3 is provided inside the above-mentioned housing 1. The storage tank 3 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The storage tank 3 is a 304 stainless steel inner tank, which is used as a storage space for storing various cold fresh products, medicines, etc. during application. A vacuum board is bonded to the bottom through epoxy resin glue as an insulating board 41, with a thermal conductivity coefficient ≤ 0.004 W / m·K, to avoid cold leakage. Furthermore, four groups of refrigeration heat exchange components 7 are provided around the storage tank 3. The four groups of refrigeration heat exchange components 7 wrap and contact the storage tank 3 omni-directionally. Each group of refrigeration heat exchange components 7 includes an evaporator 77 and a radiator 76. Among them, the evaporator 77 uses a capillary tube to absorb the heat of the materials in the storage tank 3 with the refrigerant, thereby realizing the refrigeration function. The radiator 76 works in the defrosting mode, and the heat is dissipated into the storage tank 3 through the radiator 76 to heat the inner wall of the storage tank 3, so that the ice layer attached to the inner wall of the storage tank 3 can be quickly thawed, improving the defrosting efficiency. The refrigeration heat exchange components 7 are connected to the heat exchange base 4. A connecting pipe 42 is preset inside the heat exchange base 4, and is connected to the radiator 76 and the evaporator 77 through a connecting component 6 penetrating the insulating board 41. The radiator 76 and the evaporator 77 are arranged staggeredly. Both the radiator 76 and the evaporator 77 are continuous wavy troughs with an S-shaped structure, and the cross-section is trapezoidal to enhance the turbulent flow effect.
[0061] After the cabinet has been running for a period of time, frost will form on the inner wall of the storage tank 3. In order to defrost more efficiently and conveniently, the inlet and outlet of the compressor 2 are connected to the control valve seat 43 through flange joints 432. A switching valve 431 is provided on the control valve seat 43. The switching valve 431 is an electromagnetic valve to realize the switching between the refrigeration and defrosting modes.
[0062] According to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1-4It can be seen that a back groove is provided on the back of the above-mentioned housing 1. The enhanced heat dissipation plate 5 is fixed to the back groove by a number of screws. The enhanced heat dissipation plate 5 is an extruded profile of 6063 aluminum alloy, with a surface anodized treatment. The installed condenser 51 adopts a parallel flow microchannel structure, with a heat dissipation area of 2.5 m², and is fastened to the back groove by four M6 stainless steel screws. The condenser 51 forms a passage with the compressor 2 and the evaporator 77 through the control valve seat 43. The compressor 2 converts the refrigerant into high-pressure and high-temperature gas. Under the action of pressure, the refrigerant dissipates heat outward through the condenser 51. A number of enhanced heat exchange fins 52 extend linearly and integrally on the back plate, and the natural convection heat dissipation efficiency is improved by increasing the surface area. After heat exchange, the refrigerant flows back to one side of the control valve seat 43 and is introduced into the evaporator 77 through the control valve seat 43. The condenser 51 absorbs the heat in the storage tank 3 through the evaporator 77 to achieve the refrigeration effect.
[0063] According to the attached instructions Figures 1-5 It can be seen that a closed cabinet door 13 is hinged to the top of the above-mentioned housing 1. Sealing rubber strips are distributed around the closed cabinet door 13. The closed cabinet door 13 adopts double-layer hollow toughened glass with a Low-E coating inside, and the heat insulation coefficient K ≤ 1.2 W / m²·K. A lifting handle is provided on one side of the closed cabinet door 13 to facilitate the opening and closing of the cabinet body. The sealing rubber strip is made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber and is engaged with the edge of the cabinet body through a sloping edge structure to ensure that the airtightness reaches IP54 level and prevent the leakage of cold.
[0064] According to the attached instructions Figures 1-6 It can be seen that the above-mentioned heat exchange base 4 includes an isolation plate 41. The isolation plate 41 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 3. The isolation plate 41 avoids the overflow of cold through the isolation function. Connecting pipes 42 are arranged at the bottom of the isolation plate 41. The connecting pipes 42 are made of copper and are connected to the flange joint 432 of the control valve seat 43 through a flaring process to realize the flow of the refrigerant. A control valve seat 43 is provided on one side of the compressor 2. The control valve seat 43 is connected to the connecting pipe 42. A number of connecting components 6 are arranged on the isolation plate 41. The number of connecting components 6 is connected to a number of refrigeration and heat exchange components 7 to realize the construction of the refrigerant channel, so that a number of refrigeration and heat exchange components 7 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, improving the replaceability of the equipment. When one side of the refrigeration and heat exchange component 7 has a poor working effect or leaks and is damaged, it can be directly replaced, reducing the equipment replacement cost and being more environmentally friendly.
[0065] Specifically, according to the attached instructions Figures 1-7 It can be seen that the above-mentioned connecting component 6 includes a mounting seat 61. The mounting seat 61 extends from the isolation plate 41. The bottom of the mounting seat 61 is connected to the connecting pipe 42. A fluororubber sealing ring gasket 64 is arranged in the socket 62. Stainless steel insertion pipes 63 are respectively arranged at the inlets and outlets of the evaporator 77 and the radiator 76. The socket groove is pressed against the stainless steel insertion pipe 63 of the insertion pipe 63 through a 45° conical surface to ensure zero leakage.
[0066] According to the attached instructions Figures 1-8 it can be known that the number of several refrigeration and heat exchange components 7 should be at least four. The number of connecting pipes 42 corresponds to the number of evaporators 77 and radiators 76 in several refrigeration and heat exchange components 7. The fixed seat 71 of each group of refrigeration and heat exchange components 7 is injection-molded with glass fiber-reinforced nylon and lined with a heat-insulating cotton layer. The two side guide blocks 74 are matched with the elastic buckles of the installation member, and the elastic stroke is ±2 mm to achieve quick disassembly and assembly. The installation member is composed of a connecting shell 1 and installation corner columns 72 at the four corners of the storage tank 3. Guide grooves 73 are cut on both sides of the installation corner columns 72, and PTFE self-lubricating bushings are embedded. A closed ring seat 75 is installed on the top of the shell 1. The closed ring seat 75 is inserted into the jack at the top of the installation angle seat through a pin to fill the top of the annular space and further block the cold bridge effect.
[0067] An installation base is arranged outside the shell 1, and a control panel 14 is arranged on the installation base. The control panel 14 uses a 7-inch touch screen and supports the Modbus RTU communication protocol to display the three-dimensional temperature field data in the storage tank 3 in real time. A number of detection points arranged in the storage tank 3 are equipped with digital temperature sensors, which are connected to the control panel 14 through shielded cables. When the temperature difference ΔT≥5°C lasts for 10 minutes, the PLC triggers the defrosting program, switches the passage of the control valve seat 43 and starts the ice removal component 9 to vibrate. The high-temperature refrigerant directly passes through the radiator 76 to melt the frost layer. At this time, the corresponding area refrigeration channel is in a closed state. During the defrosting operation, the radiator 76 and the compressor 2 form a passage, and the switching valve 431 can switch the operation of the two groups of passages.
[0068] According to the attached instructions Figures 1-9 it can be known that flux detectors 8 are respectively arranged at the head and tail ends of the condenser 51, the radiator 76 and the evaporator 77. The fluid detection impeller 82 of the flux detector 8 is made of PPS material, and the resolution of the micro encoder 83 is 1000P / R. When the refrigerant passes through the condenser 51, the radiator 76 and the evaporator 77, since the fluid detection impeller 82 is built into the pipeline, the refrigerant will drive the fluid detection impeller 82 to rotate when passing through, and then drive the micro encoder 83 to rotate. The micro encoder 83 cooperates with the counter to obtain the rotation speed of the fluid detection impeller 82, and judges the passing amount of the fluid according to the rotation speed height to realize real-time monitoring of the refrigerant flow. When the deviation > 15%, it indicates that the refrigeration effect becomes poor or there is a leak, triggering an audible and visual alarm.
[0069] According to the attached instructions Figures 1-10 it can be known that the above-mentioned refrigeration and heat exchange component 7 includes a fixed seat 71, the annular space between the shell 1 and the storage tank 3. The fixed seat 71 is inserted between the storage tank 3 and the shell 1. The ice removal component 9 arranged on the fixed seat 71 vibrates the inner wall of the storage tank 3 through the excitation action, and uses micro-vibration to accelerate the shedding of the ice layer;
[0070] Specifically, the de-icing assembly 9 includes several vibration excitation grooves 91. An exciter 92 is assembled in each vibration excitation groove 91. On one side of several exciters 92 located in the same vertical direction, there is a vibration excitation control board 93 connected. The vibration excitation control board 93 is a rectangular plate. There are several electromagnets 94 arranged on the vibration excitation control board 93. The several electromagnets 94 are arranged corresponding to the several exciters 92. After the electromagnets 94 are powered on, they generate a suction force of 20 N. The electromagnets 94 correspond to the traction magnets on one side of the vibration excitation block 922, and traction is applied to the vibration excitation block 922 to reciprocate at a frequency of 5 Hz with a stroke of ±3 mm. The return spring 924 plays an auxiliary role during the vibration excitation process. The silica gel protective sleeve 923 at the end of the vibration excitation block 922 transmits the vibration to the inner wall of the storage tank 3 to peel off the ice layer. The vibration excitation control board 93 integrates a PWM voltage regulating chip, and the vibration amplitude and frequency can be programmably set.
[0071] Embodiment 2: To adapt to the operation of the above device, the present application also discloses a refrigeration control system for an intelligent cabinet, including the following modules:
[0072] Core control module: Adopts a PLC controller, integrated in the control panel, receives real-time data from the digital temperature sensor in the storage tank, analyzes the three-dimensional temperature field distribution, and executes preset logic to control the compressor, switching valve, and the action of the vibration excitation assembly;
