[0002] Cryogenic nitrogen is produced by the gasification of liquid nitrogen. In industry, cryogenic nitrogen is an important raw material for synthesizing ammonia, preparing nitric acid and fertilizers. It can also be used as a protective gas for foods such as grains, canned foods and fruits.
[0003] When liquid nitrogen is used in the industrial sector, a large amount of low-temperature nitrogen will be generated. In the prior art, there is a utility model patent with a publication (announcement) number of CN219640023U and a name of a low-temperature nitrogen recovery device, which includes a tank body, a partition is installed in the middle of the inner cavity of the tank body, and a first water storage tank and a second water storage tank are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the partition. An air outlet pipe is installed on one side of the surface of the tank body, and a recovery mechanism is installed at the output end of the air outlet pipe. The utility model uses low-temperature nitrogen to cool down hot water, and the cooled hot water can be used for bathing or other places, and the collected low-temperature nitrogen can be used as food protection gas or for inflating automobile tires.
[0004] The device of this patent allows low-temperature nitrogen to enter the inner cavity of the curved pipe, so that the curved pipe is quickly cooled down, and then the hot water in the inner cavity of the second water storage tank is cooled down. Although the device of this patent can use low-temperature nitrogen to cool down the hot water, it is not convenient to cool down the low-temperature nitrogen well by only performing heat exchange through curved pipes, which is easy to cause energy loss. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a low-temperature nitrogen energy recovery and reuse device.
[0006] The technical problem solved by the utility model is that the existing equipment only uses curved pipes to perform heat exchange, which is inconvenient to cool the low-temperature nitrogen well, and thus easily causes energy loss.
[0007] The utility model can be implemented through the following technical scheme: a low-temperature nitrogen energy recovery and reuse device, including a nitrogen treatment box, the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box is fixedly installed with a spiral tube connected to the low-temperature nitrogen pipe, the spiral tube is a copper tube, and the arrangement of the spiral tube facilitates cooling of normal temperature water; the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box is provided with a cooling mechanism for cooling the nitrogen circulation, the cooling mechanism comprises a heat preservation water tank fixedly connected to the bottom end of the nitrogen treatment box, a water distribution plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the nitrogen treatment box, a plurality of uniformly distributed water distribution nozzles are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the water distribution plate, the water distribution plate and the plurality of uniformly distributed water distribution nozzles are arranged to facilitate the introduction of normal temperature water to form a water curtain, and the water curtain facilitates energy recovery of the low-temperature nitrogen in the inner cavity of the spiral tube, wherein the water curtain heat exchange area is about 40 square meters, and the heat preservation water tank is connected to the water distribution plate through a water pump.
[0008] The further technical improvement of the utility model is that: a circulating water temporary storage tank is opened in the inner cavity of the thermal insulation water tank, and a water collecting hopper connected with the circulating water temporary storage tank in the inner cavity of the thermal insulation water tank is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the nitrogen treatment box.
[0009] A further technical improvement of the utility model is that: the inner cavity of the thermal insulation water tank is further provided with a normal temperature water tank connected to a water pump, and the liquid in the inner cavity of the circulating water temporary storage tank and the liquid in the inner cavity of the normal temperature water tank are separated by an electromagnetic valve. By utilizing the electromagnetic valve to separate the liquid in the inner cavity of the circulating water temporary storage tank and the liquid in the inner cavity of the normal temperature water tank, it is avoided that the processing speed of the low-temperature nitrogen is delayed due to uneven mixing of normal temperature water and low-temperature cooling water.
[0010] A further technical improvement of the utility model is that a floating plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the normal temperature water tank, and a trigger switch electrically connected to the electromagnetic valve and the water pump is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the normal temperature water tank and above and below the floating plate. As the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water tank in the inner cavity of the thermal insulation water tank is continuously used, the liquid level in the inner cavity will continue to drop, and the floating plate will drop synchronously with the liquid level until the floating plate contacts the trigger switch. Since the trigger switch electromagnetic valve and the water pump are electrically connected to the trigger switch, at this time, the trigger switch will first cut off the power supply of the water pump, and then make the circulating water temporarily closed through the electromagnetic valve. The cooling water in the inner cavity of the storage tank enters the normal temperature water tank. As the low-temperature cooling water continues to enter, the float plate will rise synchronously with the liquid level until the float plate contacts the trigger switch. Since the trigger switch solenoid valve and water pump are electrically connected to the trigger switch, at this time, the trigger switch will cause the solenoid valve to close the circulating water temporary storage tank and turn on the power of the water pump. The water pump is driven to cool the liquid in the inner cavity of the normal temperature water tank again, and after cooling, it enters the inner cavity of the circulating water temporary storage tank. The low-temperature nitrogen is cooled reciprocally, which is beneficial to maximize the energy recovery efficiency of the low-temperature nitrogen and reduce energy loss.
[0011] A further technical improvement of the utility model is that a sealing door is hinged on the front of the nitrogen treatment box, a sealing mechanism for closing the sealing door is provided in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box, the sealing mechanism includes a sealing strip fixedly connected to the sealing door, and a sealing groove matched with the sealing strip is provided in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box. The provision of the sealing door facilitates the user to maintain the components in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box, thereby facilitating the extension of the overall service life of the equipment.
[0012] A further technical improvement of the utility model is that: a first magnetic strip is embedded in the inner cavity of the sealing strip, and a second magnetic strip with a magnetic property opposite to that of the first magnetic strip is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing groove. When there is no need to maintain the components in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box, the sealing strip on the sealing door will enter the sealing groove in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box by closing the sealing door, and the first magnetic strip in the sealing strip and the second magnetic strip on the inner wall of the sealing groove are arranged in coordination to facilitate filling of the gap between the nitrogen treatment box and the sealing door, thereby facilitating the closure of the nitrogen treatment box and facilitating subsequent use of the equipment.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The utility model opens the valve on the air inlet pipe to allow the low-temperature nitrogen to enter the inner cavity of the spiral tube through the air inlet pipe. At the same time, the power of the water pump is turned on, so that the normal-temperature water in the inner cavity of the normal-temperature water tank passes through the water distribution plate and the water distribution nozzle to form a water curtain. The normal-temperature water is cooled by the heat exchange between the water curtain and the low-temperature nitrogen in the spiral tube, and energy recovery and reuse are achieved. After the normal-temperature water becomes low-temperature cooling water, it enters the water collecting bucket. The low-temperature cooling water in the water collecting bucket returns to the water curtain through the water pump and continues to be cooled by the low-temperature nitrogen. Through multiple cycles of heat exchange, it is convenient to recover the energy of the low-temperature nitrogen, which is beneficial to maximize the energy recovery efficiency of the low-temperature nitrogen and reduce energy loss.
[0015] 2. A sealing door is hinged on the front of the nitrogen treatment box of the utility model, and a sealing mechanism for closing the sealing door is provided in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box. The setting of the sealing door facilitates the user to maintain the components in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box, thereby facilitating the extension of the overall service life of the equipment; when no maintenance is required, the sealing door is closed, and the sealing strip on the sealing door enters the sealing groove in the inner cavity of the nitrogen treatment box, and the first magnetic strip in the sealing strip and the second magnetic strip on the inner wall of the sealing groove are provided in coordination to facilitate the filling of the gap between the nitrogen treatment box and the sealing door, thereby facilitating the sealing of the nitrogen treatment box and facilitating the subsequent use of the equipment.

[0034] When the utility model is in use, the valve on the air inlet pipe 12 is opened to allow the low-temperature nitrogen to enter the inner cavity of the spiral tube 11 through the air inlet pipe 12. At the same time, the power supply of the water pump 24 is turned on, so that the normal-temperature water in the inner cavity of the normal-temperature water tank 22 passes through the water distribution plate 27 and the water distribution nozzle 28 to form a water curtain. The normal-temperature water is cooled by the heat exchange between the water curtain and the low-temperature nitrogen in the spiral tube 11, thereby realizing energy recovery and reuse.
[0035] After being cooled, the normal temperature water enters the water collecting bucket 29.

The liquid in the inner cavity of the normal temperature water tank 22 is cooled again by the drive of the water pump 24. After cooling, it enters the inner cavity of the circulating water temporary storage tank 21, and repeats this process until the temperature of the cooling water reaches 8 degrees Celsius.

The low-temperature nitrogen becomes normal temperature nitrogen after passing through the water curtain and is discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe 13.
[0036] The utility model separates the liquid in the inner cavity of the circulating water temporary storage tank 21 from the liquid in the inner cavity of the normal temperature water tank 22 by using the electromagnetic valve 23, thereby avoiding delaying the processing speed of the low temperature nitrogen due to uneven mixing of the normal temperature water and the low temperature cooling water.
