Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a low-pressure barrel and a cold storage. Background Art

[0002] A cold storage is a kind of refrigeration equipment, which creates an environment different from the outdoor temperature or humidity, and is also a constant temperature and humidity storage equipment for items such as food, liquid, chemical industry, medicine, vaccine, and scientific experiments.

[0003] In the related art, a cold storage includes an external unit and an internal unit. The internal unit is installed inside the cold storage, and the external unit is installed inside the control room. When the internal unit works, it will convert into high-temperature and high-pressure dry saturated liquid Freon steam. The high-temperature and high-pressure dry saturated liquid Freon steam will be reconverted into high-pressure and low-temperature subcooled liquid Freon through the external unit. The high-pressure and low-temperature subcooled liquid Freon re-enters the internal unit for heat exchange, so as to achieve the effect of refrigerating the cold storage.

[0004] Among them, a low-pressure barrel needs to be set on the external unit. The liquid in the low-pressure barrel is transported to the end of the external unit through a pump. At the same time, the low-pressure barrel stores liquid Freon and needs to maintain a certain amount. When the liquid Freon is insufficient, it needs to be replenished in time, and when there is too much, it also needs to be pumped out in time.

[0005] Therefore, an electronic liquid level gauge is provided in the low-pressure barrel to detect the liquid level of the liquid Freon in the low-pressure barrel in real time. However, in actual application, when the electronic liquid level gauge is damaged, it is necessary to empty all the liquid Freon in the low-pressure barrel before it can be repaired, and the operation is relatively complicated, so it needs to be improved.

At this time, the electronic liquid level gauge can be repaired without completely draining the liquid Freon in the low-pressure barrel, thereby facilitating the repair of the electronic liquid level gauge.

[0014] Preferably, the low-pressure barrel further includes a second flange, the upper end of the inspection pipe is also opened, and the second flange is detachably connected to the upper end of the inspection pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a second flange, when it is inconvenient for the lower end of the inspection pipe to let the liquid Freon in the inspection pipe flow out, the second flange can be removed and the liquid Freon in the inspection pipe can be extracted through the extraction device.

Detailed implementation manners

[0033] The following further elaborates on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 drawings for a more detailed description.

[0034] Embodiment 1 of the present application discloses a low-pressure barrel.

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 , the low-pressure barrel includes a barrel body 1, a first connecting pipe 2, a second connecting pipe 3, a first switching valve 4, a second switching valve 5, a maintenance pipe 6, a first flange 7, and an electronic liquid level gauge (not shown in the figure).

[0037] The barrel body 1 is hollow and stores liquid Freon. One end of the first connecting pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the barrel body 1 and is in communication with the barrel body 1. The other end of the first connecting pipe 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the maintenance pipe 6 and is in communication with the maintenance pipe 6. The first switching valve 4 is installed on the first connecting pipe 2. By opening or closing the first switching valve 4, it is controlled whether the barrel body 1 is in communication with the maintenance pipe 6 through the first connecting pipe 2.

[0038] Similarly, one end of the second connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the barrel body 1 and is in communication with the barrel body 1. The other end of the second connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the maintenance pipe 6 and is in communication with the maintenance pipe 6. The second switching valve 5 is installed on the second connecting pipe 3. By opening or closing the second switching valve 5, it is controlled whether the barrel body 1 is in communication with the maintenance pipe 6 through the second connecting pipe 3.

[0039] The maintenance pipe 6 is vertical and has an open lower end. The first flange 7 is detachably connected to the lower end of the maintenance pipe 6 to block the opening at the lower end of the maintenance pipe 6. The electronic liquid level gauge is installed in the maintenance pipe 6 to detect the liquid level in the maintenance pipe 6, and the electronic liquid level gauge is electrically connected to a terminal controller (not shown in the figure) so that the electronic liquid level gauge transmits the detected data to the terminal controller for display.

[0040] In actual application, the first switch valve 4 and the second switch valve 5 are in an open state. Since the two ends of the first connecting pipe 2 are respectively connected to the barrel body 1 and the inspection pipe 6, and the two ends of the second connecting pipe 3 are respectively connected to the barrel body 1 and the inspection pipe 6, the liquid Freon in the barrel body 1 flows into the inspection pipe 6. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level height in the barrel body 1 is the same as the liquid level height in the inspection pipe 6. By detecting the liquid level height of the inspection pipe 6 by an electronic liquid level meter, the liquid level height of the liquid Freon in the barrel body 1 can be detected in real time.

[0041] Among them, when the electronic liquid level meter is damaged, the first switch valve 4 and the second switch valve 5 are closed to prevent the liquid Freon in the barrel body 1 from flowing into the inspection pipe 6 as much as possible, and then the first flange 7 is removed to allow the liquid Freon in the inspection pipe 6 to flow out, and then the electronic liquid level meter is repaired. At this time, there is no need to drain all the liquid Freon in the low-pressure barrel to achieve the maintenance of the electronic liquid level meter, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the electronic liquid level meter.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the low-pressure barrel further includes a plurality of fasteners 8, which are bolts, and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the first flange 7. The upper end of the fastener 8 is passed through the first flange 7 and is threadedly connected to the inspection pipe 6. The lower end of the fastener 8 abuts against the first flange 7 to achieve a detachable connection to the first flange 7. The structure is simple and easy to operate, and the stability of the installation of the first flange 7 can be ensured. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the detachable connection of the first flange 7 to the lower end of the inspection pipe 6 can also be achieved by means of snap-on, plug-in, etc.

[0043] In some embodiments, the low-pressure barrel also includes a sealing ring 9, which is pressed between the inspection pipe 6 and the first flange 7 to improve the sealing between the first flange 7 and the inspection pipe 6, and try to avoid the liquid Freon in the inspection pipe 6 from flowing out from between the first flange 7 and the inspection pipe 6, so as to improve the accuracy of the liquid level detection of the liquid Freon in the barrel body 1.

[0044] In some embodiments, the low-pressure barrel further includes a second flange 10, and the upper end of the inspection pipe 6 is also opened. The second flange 10 is detachably connected to the upper end of the inspection pipe 6 to seal the upper end of the inspection pipe 6, wherein the second flange 10 is detachably connected to the inspection pipe 6 in the same manner as the first flange 7. In practical applications, it is sometimes inconvenient to flow the liquid Freon in the inspection pipe 6 out of the lower end of the inspection pipe 6. In this case, the second flange 10 can be disassembled and the liquid Freon in the inspection pipe 6 can be extracted through an extraction device.

[0045] In some embodiments, the low-pressure barrel further includes two reinforcing support plates 11, one end of one reinforcing support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the barrel body 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first connecting pipe 2 to improve the installation stability of the first connecting pipe 2. One end of another reinforcing support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the barrel body 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second connecting pipe 3 to improve the installation stability of the second connecting pipe 3.

[0046] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: in actual application, the first switch valve 4 and the second switch valve 5 are in an open state, and since the two ends of the first connecting pipe 2 are respectively connected to the barrel body 1 and the inspection pipe 6, and the two ends of the second connecting pipe 3 are respectively connected to the barrel body 1 and the inspection pipe 6, the liquid Freon in the barrel body 1 flows into the inspection pipe 6. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level height in the barrel body 1 is the same as the liquid level height in the inspection pipe 6, and the liquid level height of the liquid Freon in the barrel body 1 can be detected in real time by detecting the liquid level height of the inspection pipe 6 through the electronic liquid level meter.

[0047] Among them, when the electronic liquid level meter is damaged, the first switch valve 4 and the second switch valve 5 are closed to prevent the liquid Freon in the barrel body 1 from flowing into the inspection pipe 6 as much as possible, and then the first flange 7 is removed to allow the liquid Freon in the inspection pipe 6 to flow out, and then the electronic liquid level meter is repaired. At this time, there is no need to drain all the liquid Freon in the low-pressure barrel to achieve the maintenance of the electronic liquid level meter, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the electronic liquid level meter.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] Reference Figure 3 The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, except that an observation window 61 is provided in the vertical direction of the inspection pipe 6, and the staff can check the liquid level height in the inspection pipe 6 through the observation window 61, and can compare it with the liquid level height detected by the electronic liquid level meter, so as to roughly judge whether the detection of the electronic liquid level meter is accurate. If the error between the two is large, the electronic liquid level meter needs to be repaired to ensure the accuracy of the liquid level height detected by the electronic liquid level meter.

[0050] In some embodiments, the inspection pipe 6 is provided with scale lines 62 along the vertical direction, and the scale lines 62 match the position of the observation window 61 , so that the staff can more accurately understand the liquid level height in the inspection pipe 6 through the scale lines 62 .

[0051] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a cold storage.

[0052] The cold storage includes the low-pressure barrel described in the above embodiment.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and the protection scope of this application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application shall be covered within the protection scope of this application.
