Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, and more particularly to an energy-saving cooling refrigeration device for raw materials of alcoholic beverage flavorings. Background Technology

[0002] The raw materials for alcoholic beverage flavorings are usually in liquid form, mainly composed of natural and synthetic flavorings and solvents (such as ethanol and propylene glycol) to ensure that the flavorings are fully dissolved and maintain stability. These liquid raw materials need to be cooled during storage. Low temperature environment can reduce the loss of volatile components, improve product stability and safety, and help slow down side reactions such as oxidation and hydrolysis of flavoring components, thereby extending shelf life and maintaining aroma consistency. Even when the raw materials for alcoholic beverage flavorings are stored in refrigerated warehouses, they will still slowly leak and release volatile gases, such as ethanol. These volatile gases will accumulate in the refrigerated warehouse for a long time, and the concentration will gradually increase. High concentrations of leaked ethanol and other gases will pose an explosion risk. Existing refrigerated warehouses are equipped with ventilation systems that can continuously supply fresh air from the outside to the refrigerated warehouse to achieve the ventilation effect of timely release of leaked gases. However, the continuous input of hot fresh air from the outside into the refrigerated warehouse will cause a significant increase in the cooling load of the refrigeration unit, thereby increasing refrigeration energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the drawback that continuously supplying fresh outside air into the refrigerated warehouse to release leaked gas during the cooling and storage of raw materials for alcoholic flavorings would increase refrigeration energy consumption, this invention provides an energy-saving cooling and refrigeration device for raw materials for alcoholic flavorings.

[0004] Technical Solution: An energy-saving cooling and refrigeration device for alcoholic flavoring raw materials includes an underground cold storage, a leak gas detector, cooling chambers, chamber covers, permanent magnets, electromagnets, fixing blocks, and compression springs; a refrigeration unit is installed on the underground cold storage; several cooling chambers for storing alcoholic flavoring raw materials are slidably connected inside the underground cold storage; a leak gas detector for monitoring the gas leakage concentration inside each cooling chamber is installed inside the underground cold storage; a chamber cover is provided on the cooling chamber; a permanent magnet is fixedly connected to the chamber cover; an electromagnet is installed on the cooling chamber, and the electromagnet is in close contact with the permanent magnet of the corresponding chamber cover; a fixing block is fixedly connected to the cooling chamber; a compression spring is fixedly connected between the chamber cover and the fixing block in the corresponding cooling chamber.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the underground cold storage is provided with an air supply channel; the underground cold storage is provided with a plurality of through channels that connect to all cooling chambers; a baffle for blocking the corresponding through channels is fixed to the cover; a guide pipe for connecting the air supply channel is installed on the underground cold storage; a rainproof cap is fixed to the guide pipe; a ventilation vent for connecting the guide pipe is provided on the rainproof cap; and an electric fan is installed inside the rainproof cap.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an alarm light is installed on the hatch.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet channel is provided at the bottom of the cooling chamber; an inert gas pressurization chamber is installed in the underground cold storage; a diversion pipe is connected between the inert gas pressurization chambers; an electrically controlled gas supply valve corresponding to the number of cooling chambers is installed on the diversion pipe, and the electrically controlled gas supply valve is connected to the air outlet channel of the corresponding cooling chamber.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the underground cold storage, cooling chamber and hatch cover are all made of explosion-proof steel plate material, and the explosion-proof steel plate material is a composite board with an internal heat-insulating foam sandwich layer.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting rod is provided at the bottom of the hatch, and the lower end of the limiting rod has an L-shaped locking block structure aligned with the lower part of the corresponding fixing block.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the underground cylinder is provided with a pointed cone.

[0014] Beneficial Effects: This invention provides an energy-saving cooling and refrigeration device for alcoholic flavoring raw materials. The device comprises multiple independent cooling chambers and automatically pop-up covers within an underground cold storage facility. A leak gas monitor tracks the concentration of leaked gas in each cooling chamber. By controlling the opening and closing of the covers in conjunction with electric fans in the rainproof caps, only the leaked gas in the cooling chambers with higher concentrations is diluted and rapidly released. When a large amount of leaked gas is generated in a short period, an inert gas pressurization chamber can be used to enhance the dilution effect and release the leaked gas more quickly over long distances. The covers, in conjunction with the inert gas pressurization chamber and the underground casing, provide impact buffer protection for cooling chambers in the event of an explosion. In summary, this energy-saving cooling and refrigeration device for alcoholic flavoring raw materials not only overcomes the technical drawback of continuously supplying fresh air to the refrigerated warehouse to release leaked gas during the cooling and storage of alcoholic flavoring raw materials, which increases refrigeration energy consumption, but also achieves explosion-proof protection, reducing the damage to surrounding personnel and property in the event of a leaked gas explosion.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] Example 1: An energy-saving cooling and refrigeration device for alcoholic flavoring raw materials, such as... Figures 1-8As shown, the system includes an underground cold storage 1, a gas leak detector 11, a cooling chamber 21, a cover 22, a permanent magnet 23, an electromagnet 24, a fixing block 25, a compression spring 26, and an alarm light 4. A refrigeration unit is installed on the underground cold storage 1. The underground cold storage 1 is buried below the floor level. Four cooling chambers 21 for storing raw materials for alcoholic beverage flavorings are slidably connected inside the underground cold storage 1, and the upper surfaces of the cooling chambers 21 and the underground cold storage 1 are flush with the ground. Four gas leak detectors 11 are installed inside the underground cold storage 1, and each gas leak detector 11 uses an ethanol concentration sensor. The inlet port of each gas leak detector 11 is connected to the corresponding cooling chamber. 21 are connected; each cooling chamber 21 is equipped with a cover 22; a permanent magnet 23 is fixedly attached to the bottom of each cover 22; an electromagnet 24 is installed on each cooling chamber 21, and the electromagnet 24 is initially in the closed state. A magnetic attraction force is generated between the permanent magnet 23 and the iron core of the electromagnet 24, and the cover 22 is firmly fixed to the cooling chamber 21 by the magnetic attraction force; four fixing blocks 25 are fixedly attached to each cooling chamber 21; a compression spring 26 is fixedly attached between each cover 22 and the four fixing blocks 25 in the corresponding cooling chamber 21, and the compression spring 26 is initially in the compressed state; an alarm light 4 is installed on each cover 22.

[0019] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the underground cold storage 1 has an air supply channel 101; the underground cold storage 1 has several through channels 102 that connect to all the cooling chambers 21; each cover 22 has two baffles 27 fixedly attached; each baffle 27 is tightly attached to the corresponding through channel 102; the underground cold storage 1 has a guide pipe 31 that connects to the air supply channel 101; a rainproof cap 32 is fixedly attached to the guide pipe 31, and the rainproof cap 32 protrudes through the roof to the outside; the rainproof cap 32 has several ventilation openings 3201 that connect to the guide pipe 31; an electric fan 33 is installed inside the rainproof cap 32.

[0020] In this embodiment, the underground cold storage 1 cools and insulates the raw materials for alcoholic beverage flavorings stored in four cooling chambers 21. Four leak gas detectors 11 monitor the concentration of leaked gas in the corresponding cooling chambers 21. When a leak gas detector 11 detects that the concentration of leaked gas in the corresponding cooling chamber 21 exceeds the low-concentration safety value, the electromagnet 24 in the cooling chamber 21 generates an electromagnetic repulsion force on the permanent magnet 23 above. The permanent magnet 23, through this electromagnetic repulsion force combined with the reverse elastic force of the compressed spring 26, pushes the electromagnet 24 to cause the chamber cover 22 to spring upward, creating a small gap between the chamber cover 22 and the cooling chamber 21. At the same time, the chamber cover 22 pulls the corresponding baffle 27 upward away from the through passage 102, and the electric fan 33... The guide pipe 31 draws air upwards, allowing outside air to enter the cooling chamber 21 through a tiny gap to dilute the leaked gas. Simultaneously, the diluted leaked gas is drawn out to the outside air by the electric fan 33 along the ventilation opening 3201 of the guide pipe 31 and the rainproof cap 32. When the leaked gas monitor 11 detects that the concentration of leaked gas in the cooling chamber 21 is close to zero, the electromagnet 24 in the cooling chamber 21 applies an electromagnetic attraction to the permanent magnet 23 above. This electromagnetic attraction pulls the permanent magnet 23, causing the cover 22 to fall back into the cooling chamber 21. At the same time, the cover 22 again drives the compression spring 26 to compress downwards, completing ventilation in a short time. This process only dilutes and quickly releases the leaked gas in the cooling chamber 21 with a higher concentration, achieving energy-saving effects.

[0021] Example 2, as Figures 1-8 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, each cooling chamber 21 in this embodiment has an air outlet channel 2101 at its bottom; an inert gas pressurization chamber 51 is installed on the left and right sides of the underground cold storage 1, and the inert gas pressurization chamber 51 is filled with pressurized inert gas; a diversion pipe 52 is connected between the two inert gas pressurization chambers 51; four electrically controlled gas supply valves 53 are installed on the diversion pipe 52, and the electrically controlled gas supply valves 53 are connected to the air outlet channel 2101 of the corresponding cooling chamber 21, and the electrically controlled gas supply valves 53 are initially in the closed state; the underground cold storage 1, all cooling chambers 21 and all hatch covers 22 are made of explosion-proof steel plate material, and the explosion-proof steel plate material is a composite board with an internal heat-insulating foam sandwich layer; four limiting rods 28 are slidably connected to the bottom of each hatch cover 22, and the lower L-shaped locking block structure of the limiting rod 28 is aligned with the lower part of the corresponding fixing block 25; a connecting rod 29 is fixedly connected between every two adjacent left and right limiting rods 28.

[0022] When a leaking gas detector 11 detects a large amount of high-concentration gas leaking from the corresponding cooling chamber 21 within a short period of time, the high-concentration leaking gas accumulated in the cooling chamber 21 poses an explosion risk. At this time, the electrically controlled gas supply valve 53 corresponding to the cooling chamber 21 switches to the open state. The inert gas pressurization chamber 51 quickly supplies pressurized inert gas into the cooling chamber 21 through the diversion pipe 52 and the electrically controlled gas supply valve 53. The pressurized inert gas dilutes the high-concentration leaking gas inside the cooling chamber 21, and then the electric fan 33 ventilates through the guide pipe 31 and the rainproof cap 32. The diluted leaked gas is extracted to the outside through hatch 3201 along with pressurized inert gas, preventing high concentrations of leaked gas from accumulating indoors. This enhances the dilution effect of the leaked gas and releases it over a long distance. At the same time, the corresponding alarm light 4 on the cooling chamber 21 sounds an alarm, prompting staff to promptly investigate the cause of the large amount of gas leak inside the cooling chamber 21 in a short period of time. This treatment only dilutes and releases the high concentration of gas leaked in the cooling chamber 21. Cooling chambers 21 without leaks are isolated in a safe area and continue to cool and insulate normally, achieving energy-saving effects.

[0023] In this embodiment, when a worker needs to retrieve or place alcoholic flavoring raw materials in a cooling chamber 21, the electromagnet 24 generates an electromagnetic repulsion force on the permanent magnet 23, pushing the chamber cover 22 upward. The worker pulls the two connecting rods 29 on the chamber cover 22, causing the connected limiting rods 28 to move away from below the corresponding fixing block 25. At this time, the limiting rods 28 are not blocked by the fixing block 25, and the worker can pick up the chamber cover 22 and leave it from the cooling chamber 21. At the same time, the chamber cover 22 causes the compression spring 26 to stretch upward. Without having to lift the cooling chamber 21 from the underground cold storage 1, the worker can conveniently retrieve or place the alcoholic flavoring raw materials in the cooling chamber 21, keeping the cooling chamber 21 and the raw materials inside that do not need to be retrieved or placed in the underground cold storage 1. This reduces the contact between the cooling chamber 21 and the remaining alcoholic flavoring raw materials and the outside hot air, achieving an energy-saving effect. After the worker lowers the chamber cover 22 back into the cooling chamber 21, the worker pushes the connecting rods 29 in the opposite direction, causing the connected limiting rods 28 to move back to the corresponding fixing block 25.

[0024] In this embodiment, during normal storage, if a gas leak and explosion occur inside one of the cooling chambers 21 in the underground cold storage 1, the impact force generated by the explosion will push the cover 22 upwards. The upward-blowing cover 22 pulls the limiting lever 28 upwards. When the limiting lever 28 contacts the upper fixing block 25, the fixing block 25 blocks the limiting lever 28, preventing the cover 22 from being bounced upwards again. The cover 22 remains above the cooling chamber 21, preventing the cover 22 from being blown away by the impact force of the explosion and causing injury to surrounding personnel. When damage occurs, a small gap exists between the hatch 22 and the cooling chamber 21. The impact energy generated by the explosion is released through this gap. Then, the inert gas pressurization chamber 51, in conjunction with the electrically controlled gas supply valve 53, quickly supplies inert gas into the underground cold storage 1 to dilute the gas leaked due to the explosion and reduce the risk of secondary explosion. The electric fan 33 draws air upward through the guide pipe 31, allowing the exhaust gas generated by the explosion and the diluted leaked gas to be quickly discharged outward through the guide pipe 31 and the ventilation hatch 3201 of the rainproof cap 32.

[0025] Example 3, as Figures 1-9 As shown, based on the above embodiment 2, the underground cold storage 1 of this embodiment is equipped with several buried cylinders 61 at the bottom. The buried cylinders 61 are buried below the ground. The upper port of each buried cylinder 61 is connected to the corresponding cooling chamber 21 on the upper side. A sealing plug 62 is slidably connected to the upper port of each buried cylinder 61. A spring 63 is fixed between each sealing plug 62 and the corresponding buried cylinder 61, and the spring 63 provides support for the sealing plug 62. A layer of viscous damping material 64 is filled between the inside of each buried cylinder 61 and the corresponding sealing plug 62. The viscous damping material 64 is silicone oil with good temperature stability and energy absorption effect. A pointed cone 6101 is provided at the bottom of each buried cylinder 61.

[0026] In this embodiment, when a gas leak and explosion occur inside a cooling chamber 21 in the underground cold storage 1, if there are people standing above the corresponding hatch cover 22 of the cooling chamber 21 or being pressed down by other collapsed objects, the impact force generated by the explosion will immediately push the corresponding sealing plug 62 downwards, causing the spring 63 to move downwards. Simultaneously, as the impact force pushes the sealing plug 62, causing the spring 63 and viscous damper 64 to compress downwards, the viscous damper 64 and the spring 63 together form an elastic energy absorption mechanism to absorb part of the impact force generated by the explosion. In the process of absorption, when the spring 63 and the viscous damper 64 are compressed to their limits, the residual impact force generated by the explosion continues to push the sealing plug 62, which, through the compressed spring 63 and the viscous damper 64, causes the buried cylinder 61 to be squeezed downwards to the ground, allowing the buried cylinder 61 to be deeply inserted into the ground through the pointed cone 6101. This method can transfer most of the impact force generated by the explosion to the ground and dissipate it. The remaining impact force effectively reduces the impact damage caused by the upward-pushing hatch 22 to personnel standing above or objects pressed on it.
