Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an air cooling heat exchange device, in particular to an air cooling heat exchange device for toner processing which can realize non-stop defrosting. Background Art

[0002] Toner is the carbon powder used in printers. Its particle size is required to reach the micron level, so it is generally processed by air flow grinding or mechanical grinding. During the processing, the temperature will increase due to mutual friction. However, if the outlet temperature is higher than 30 degrees, the toner will denature.

[0003] Therefore, in order to reduce the outlet temperature, very low-temperature air is used to carry the toner into the grinding equipment. The air is cooled by the air cooling heat exchange device. The refrigerant temperature of the air cooling heat exchange device is as low as -15°C to -20°C. Since the airflow is not completely dry, it will cause frost inside the air cooling heat exchange device after a long working time. After frosting, not only the air resistance increases, the fan needs to consume more power, but also the frost covers the heat exchange surface, the heat exchange rate is reduced, which will lead to a decrease in the cooling effect of the air, thereby consuming more energy for refrigeration. At this time, the only way to defrost is to shut down the machine. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these implementation methods is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in each implementation method of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0016] As shown in the figure:

[0017] A toner processing air cooling heat exchange device capable of achieving non-stop defrosting comprises two gas-liquid heat exchangers 1, wherein the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 is provided with an air flow inlet pipe 111, an air flow outlet pipe 131, a refrigerant inlet pipe 141 and a refrigerant outlet pipe 142; the air flow inlet pipe 111 of the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 is connected to the air supply pipe 21 via a three-way reversing valve A2, and the air flow outlet pipe 131 is connected to the exhaust pipe 31 via a three-way reversing valve B3; the refrigerant inlet pipe 141 is connected to the refrigerant liquid supply pipe 41 via a three-way reversing valve C4, and the refrigerant outlet pipe 142 is connected to the refrigerant return pipe 51 via a three-way reversing valve D5.

[0018] Working principle: By switching the three-way reversing valve A2, three-way reversing valve B3, three-way reversing valve C4, and three-way reversing valve D5, the airflow and refrigerant are passed through the same gas-liquid heat exchanger 1. When the working time is too long and the interior is frosted, the refrigerant is first switched to circulate in another gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 through the three-way reversing valve C4 and the three-way reversing valve D5 to pre-cool the other gas-liquid heat exchanger 1. Although the refrigerant in the previous gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 is no longer circulating, it can be maintained for a short time due to the low temperature. During this period, the internal temperature can also be appropriately increased, which also promotes defrosting.

[0019] When the temperature of the other gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 drops, the airflow is switched to the other gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 through the three-way reversing valve A2 and the three-way reversing valve B3, so that uninterrupted airflow cooling is performed. Since the refrigerant circulation of the previous gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 stops, the internal temperature will slowly rise, thereby removing the internal frost. The two gas-liquid heat exchangers 1 work alternately in sequence.

[0020] For the convenience of control, the three-way reversing valve A2, three-way reversing valve B3, three-way reversing valve C4 and three-way reversing valve D5 are all electrically controlled valves, and the three-way reversing valve A2 and the three-way reversing valve B3 are controlled in linkage, and the three-way reversing valve C4 and the three-way reversing valve D5 are controlled in linkage, so that the airflow and the inlet and outlet of the refrigerant are switched synchronously.

[0021] As an optimized solution, the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 consists of an air intake hood 11, a heat exchange chamber 12, an exhaust hood 13 and a jacket 14; the air intake hood 11 and the exhaust hood 13 are respectively connected to the two ends of the heat exchange chamber 12, the air intake hood 11 is connected to the air flow inlet pipe 111, and the exhaust hood 13 is connected to the refrigerant outlet pipe 142. A number of heat exchange fins 121 are welded transversely along the length direction of the peripheral wall of the heat exchange chamber 12. The jacket 14 is installed on the outer periphery of the heat exchange chamber 12, and the two ends of the jacket 14 are respectively connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe 141 and the refrigerant outlet pipe 142. The fins of the gas-liquid heat exchanger 1 with this structure are inversely parallel to the airflow, and the damping is smaller. Of course, other existing gas-liquid heat exchangers 1 with other structures can also be used.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of these embodiments are made without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
