[0030] The following is a further detailed description of the present utility model in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 to 7 This is not a limitation to the present utility model.

[0031] Such as Figure 1As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the dynamic ice slurry system includes an ice slurry generating device 200, a heat exchange device 300, an ice water filtering device 400, a liquid supplementing device 500, an ethylene glycol input pipe 710, and an ethylene glycol output pipe 720. One end of the ethylene glycol input pipe 710 is communicated with the heat exchange device 300. The liquid supplementing device 500 includes an ethylene glycol storage container 510 and a liquid pressure sensor 520. The other end of the ethylene glycol input pipe 710 is communicated with the ethylene glycol storage container 510. The liquid pressure sensor 520 is connected to the ethylene glycol input pipe 710 and is used to detect the conveying pressure of the liquid in the ethylene glycol input pipe 710. One end of the ethylene glycol output pipe 720 is communicated with the heat exchange device 300 and is communicated with the ethylene glycol input pipe 710. One end of the ice water filtering device 400 is communicated with the heat exchange device 300. One end of the ice slurry generating device 200 is communicated with the heat exchange device 300 and is communicated with the ice water filtering device 400.

[0032] The technical solution of the present utility model can effectively monitor the conveying pressure of ethylene glycol liquid in real time by adding a liquid pressure sensor to the liquid supplementing device, thereby improving the conveying stability of the antifreeze liquid and ensuring the orderly progress of the subsequent ice slurry production process, and avoiding phenomena such as premature solidification of ice water. In addition, the ice water filtering device filters, exchanges heat, and makes ice on the conveyed ice water, which can improve the cleanliness of the ice slurry, reduce the presence of impurities, and also improve the speed and efficiency of making ice slurry.

[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the liquid supplementing device 500 further includes a first pressure relief valve 530 and a booster pump 540. The booster pump 540 is communicated with the output end of the ethylene glycol storage container 510. And the booster pump 540 is communicated with the input end of the ethylene glycol input pipe 710. The input end of the first pressure relief valve 530 is arranged between the booster pump 540 and the ethylene glycol input pipe 710. The output end of the first pressure relief valve 530 is communicated with the inside of the ethylene glycol storage container 510. That is to say, the power of the booster pump 540 is controlled according to the value detected by the liquid pressure sensor 520, thereby improving the stability and safety of ethylene glycol conveying. When the liquid pressure is too high, the conveyed ethylene glycol is diverted back to the ethylene glycol storage container 510 through the first pressure relief valve 530. That is to say, when the ethylene glycol system pressure is high, the first pressure relief valve 530 automatically relieves pressure, and when the pressure is low, the booster pump 540 supplements liquid and boosts pressure.

[0034] Specifically, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and 2As shown, a liquid level sensor 560 is provided inside the ethylene glycol storage container 510. That is to say, when the ethylene glycol liquid level in the ethylene glycol system is low and an alarm is issued, liquid needs to be replenished, and when the liquid level is high, it reminds that the container is full; thus improving the stability and safety of ethylene glycol transportation.

[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, the liquid replenishing device 500 further includes a drain valve 550; the drain valve 550 is disposed between the ethylene glycol storage container 510 and the booster pump 540. That is to say, when the liquid level is too high, a certain amount of treatment is carried out through the drain valve 550, thereby improving the stability and safety of ethylene glycol transportation.

[0036] Specifically, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the dynamic ice slurry making system further includes a machine base 100; the ice slurry generating device 200 is connected to the upper surface of the machine base 100 and is disposed at the lower part of the side end of the heat exchange device 300; the ice water filtering device 400 is connected to the upper part of the side end of the heat exchange device 300; and the ice water filtering device 400 is disposed above the ice slurry generating device 200. With the ice slurry generating device 200 and the ice water filtering device 400 stacked at the side end of the ice slurry generating device 200, the utilization rate of space can be improved, and the orderly progress of ice slurry making can be ensured; in addition, the stability of the circulating transportation of ethylene glycol can be ensured through the externally connected and simply composed liquid replenishing device 500, the occupancy rate inside the machine can be reduced, and the speed of real-time observation and replenishment can be increased.

[0037] Specifically, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 and 5 shown, the heat exchange device 300 includes a fixed plate 310, a movable plate 320, at least two positioning rods 340 and at least two heat exchange fin plates 330; the fixed plate 310 and the movable plate 320 are arranged side by side; and one end of each positioning rod 340 is fixed to the fixed plate 310; the movable plate 320 is movably connected (by nuts or bolts) to the surface of the other end of each positioning rod 340; all the heat exchange fin plates 330 are stacked and arranged side by side between the fixed plate 310 and the movable plate 320; and the outermost heat exchange fin plate 330 on one side abuts against the fixed plate 310; the outermost heat exchange fin plate 330 on the other side abuts against the movable plate 320. Through the relatively high heat transfer speed of the heat exchange fins 320, the speed and efficiency of ice slurry making can be effectively ensured.

[0038] Specifically, in some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, an ice water input pipe 410 and an ice water output pipe 420 are provided on the ice water filtering device 400; one end of the ice water output pipe 420 is communicated with the heat exchange device 300; one end of the ice slurry generating device 200 is communicated with the heat exchange device 300. Among them, an ice water filter core is provided inside the ice water filtering device 400; preferably, the ice water filter core is a filter core with a model of DIMN1000 or DIMN500. Further, as Figure 4 and 7 shown, the ice water filtering device 400 further includes a second pressure relief valve 430 and a second pressure sensor 440; the second pressure sensor 440 extends into the interior of the ice water filtering device 400; the second pressure relief valve 430 is connected to the ice water filtering device 400 and is communicated with the interior of the ice water filtering device 400. That is to say, through the detection function of the second pressure sensor 440, the internal pressure can be ensured to reach the safe value, thereby improving the safety and stability of the operation.

[0039] Specifically, in some embodiments, as Figure 4 and 5 and as shown in 7, the heat exchange device 300 further includes a first output port 301 and a first input port 302 that are communicated with each other and a second output port 303 and a second input port 304 that are communicated with each other; one end of the ice water output pipe 420 is communicated with the first input port 302; one end of the ice slurry generating device 200 is communicated with the first output port 301; one end of the ethylene glycol input pipe 350 is communicated with the second input port 304; one end of the ethylene glycol output pipe 360 is communicated with the second output port 303. This structure can ensure the stable operation of the heat exchange device and improve the speed and efficiency of making ice slurry through the independence of the cyclic transportation of ethylene glycol and the independence of the ice water transportation. Among them, as Figure 6 shown, the first output port 301 and the first input port 302 and the second output port 303 and the second input port 304 are respectively located at the lower right, upper right, lower left and upper left of the heat exchange device 300; and the first output port 301 and the first input port 302 and the second output port 303 and the second input port 304 respectively penetrate the width direction of all the heat exchange fin plates 330 in the heat exchange device 300.

[0040] Specifically, in some embodiments, as Figure 3 and 6As shown, an ice slurry generating channel 240 is provided inside the ice slurry generating device 200; a first pressure sensor 210, an ice promoter 220, and a first connecting pipe 230 are provided on the ice slurry generating device 200; one end of the first connecting pipe 230 communicates with the heat exchange device 300; the other end of the first connecting pipe 230 communicates with the ice slurry generating channel 240; the first pressure sensor 210 is connected to the ice slurry generating device 200 and communicates with the ice slurry generating channel 240; the ice promoter 220 is connected to the ice slurry generating device 200 and communicates with the ice slurry generating channel 240.
