Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cold energy recovery, in particular to a BOG cold energy recovery device. Background Technique

[0002] BOG refers to the evaporation gas generated during the storage, transportation and processing of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The mass of liquefied natural gas is only about 45% of that of water with the same volume. Its manufacturing process is to first purify the natural gas produced in the gas field, and after a series of ultra-low temperature liquefaction, it is transported by a liquefied natural gas ship; since there is a great deal of cold energy in liquefied natural gas, it can play an important role in the current social production and life. Due to the relatively tight global energy reserves, with the continuous increase in LNG sales, the reasonable use of LNG cold energy is particularly important.

[0003] The current ice-making equipment is generally driven by electric energy and mechanical energy, and the consumption of electric energy is extremely large. Therefore, how to reasonably utilize the cold energy generated when liquefied natural gas is gasified is what we need to consider. Moreover, due to the very low temperature inside the box body, it is rather troublesome to de-ice after ice-making, and the pipeline is prone to freezing when adding water.

A pair of third bevel gears 19 are fixedly provided on the second round rods 17. Threaded rods 111 are rotatably provided in the vertical boxes 14. Fourth bevel gears 112 are fixedly provided at the tops of the threaded rods 111. The third bevel gears 19 are meshed with the fourth bevel gears 112. Slide blocks 113 are slidably provided in the vertical boxes 14. A partition board 114 is fixedly provided in the box body 1. A plurality of ice molds 115 are fixedly provided on the partition board 114. A connecting pipe 116 is fixedly provided in the box body 1. A vaporizer 117 is fixedly provided in the middle of the connecting pipe 116. Water injection pipes 118 are fixedly provided on the ice molds 115. A sealing plate 119 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. The sealing plates 119 are fixedly connected to the slide blocks 113. A plurality of square holes 120 are opened on the partition board 114. A plurality of sealing rings 121 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the partition board 114.

[0025] The water injection pipes 118 all penetrate through the box body 1, the sliding blocks 113 all penetrate through the vertical box 14, each pair of threaded rods 111 are arranged in mirror symmetry, the threaded rods 111 all penetrate through the side box 13 and the vertical box 14, the second round rods 17 all penetrate through the front box 12 and the side box 13, the first round rods 15 all penetrate through the front box 12, multiple support legs are fixedly arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the box body 1, the connecting pipe 116 penetrates through the box body 1, the number and positions of the sealing rings 121 correspond to those of the square holes 120, multiple ice molds 115 are arranged in a rectangular array, the ice molds 115 are respectively located directly above the square holes 120, and the box body 1 is a cuboid with an open bottom.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the double-headed motor 11 drives the first round rod 15 to rotate, the first round rod 15 drives the first bevel gear 16 to rotate, the first bevel gear 16 drives the second round rod 17 to rotate through the second bevel gear 18, the second round rod 17 drives the third bevel gear 19 to rotate, the third bevel gear 19 drives the threaded rod 111 to rotate through the fourth bevel gear 112, the threaded rod 111 drives the sealing plate 119 to move upward through the sliding block 113, so that the sealing plate 119 fits against the bottom of the partition plate 114, the ice mold 115 is sealed through the sealing ring 121, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the ice mold 115 through the water injection pipe 118, the liquefied natural gas flows through the connecting pipe 116 to the vaporizer 117, and then forms gasification through the vaporizer 117, generating a large amount of cold energy. The cold energy accumulates in the box body 1, causing the temperature in the box body 1 to drop rapidly. The heat of the water in the ice mold 115 is absorbed through heat transfer, causing it to condense into ice cubes. The completed ice cubes are driven to descend together with the sealing plate 119. Through the coordinated use of the box body 1, the partition plate 114, the ice mold 115, the connecting pipe 116, the vaporizer 117, the water injection pipe 118, the sealing plate 119, the square hole 120 and the sealing ring 121, when the natural gas is converted from liquefied to gasified, the generated cold energy reduces the temperature in the box body 1, and the water in the ice mold 115 is frozen into ice cubes through heat transfer.

[0027] Embodiment 2: In Embodiment 1, there are still problems that it is relatively troublesome to deice after ice making is completed and the pipes are prone to freezing during water injection. Therefore, on the basis of Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes:

[0028] Multiple electric heating rings 2 are fixedly arranged in each ice mold 115, a heat preservation sleeve 21 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the water injection pipe 118, the heat preservation sleeve 21 is located between the ice mold 115 and the top of the box body 1, the water injection pipes 118 all penetrate through the heat preservation sleeve 21, and the heat preservation sleeves 21 are all located at the center of the top of the ice mold 115.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, after completely solidifying into ice cubes, the point heating ring 2 heats the ice mold 115, causing the surface of the ice cubes to melt and creating a small gap between the mold, enabling rapid demolding. Through circulation, the collection and utilization of cold energy can be achieved. The heat preservation sleeve 21 wraps the water injection pipe 118 to prevent the water inside from freezing due to the supercooling inside the box body 1. By using the point heating ring 2 and the heat preservation sleeve 21 in combination, after ice making is completed, the surface slightly melts, enabling the ice cubes to be quickly demolded, and the heat preservation sleeve 21 prevents the water in the water injection pipe 118 from freezing.

[0030] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of the present utility model are as follows:

[0031] Step 1: Start the double-headed motor 11. The double-headed motor 11 drives the first round rod 15 to rotate. The first round rod 15 drives the first bevel gear 16 to rotate. The first bevel gear 16 drives the second round rod 17 to rotate through the second bevel gear 18. The second round rod 17 drives the third bevel gear 19 to rotate. The third bevel gear 19 drives the threaded rod 111 to rotate through the fourth bevel gear 112. The threaded rod 111 drives the sealing plate 119 to move upward through the slider 113, causing the sealing plate 119 to fit closely to the bottom of the partition 114. The ice mold 115 is sealed through the sealing ring 121. An appropriate amount of water is injected into the ice mold 115 through the water injection pipe 118. The liquefied natural gas flows through the connecting pipe 116 to the vaporizer 117, and then forms gasification through the vaporizer 117, generating a large amount of cold energy. The cold energy accumulates in the box body 1, causing the temperature inside the box body 1 to drop rapidly. The heat of the water in the ice mold 115 is absorbed through heat transfer, causing it to solidify into ice cubes.

[0032] Step 2: After completely solidifying into ice cubes, start the point heating ring 2. The point heating ring 2 heats the ice mold 115, causing the surface of the ice cubes to melt and creating a small gap between the mold, enabling rapid demolding. The demolded ice cubes are driven down together with the sealing plate 119, completing the production of ice cubes. Through circulation, the collection and utilization of cold energy can be achieved. The heat preservation sleeve 21 wraps the water injection pipe 118 to prevent the water inside from freezing due to the supercooling inside the box body 1.

[0033] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, making equivalent replacements or changes should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
