DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0025] The following further details the method of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4, A vacuum freeze dryer with stable operation, including a cabinet body 1. An inner placement rack 2 is installed inside the cabinet body 1. A flow cavity is arranged inside the inner placement rack 2. A refrigerant liquid storage tank 3 is fixedly installed on the back of the cabinet body 1. A refrigerant inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3. The other end of the refrigerant inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inner placement rack 2. A refrigerant return pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner placement rack 2. The other end of the refrigerant return pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3. Solenoid valves are arranged at the liquid inlet port of the refrigerant return pipe 6 and the liquid outlet port of the refrigerant inlet pipe 7. A heat transfer oil liquid storage tank 12 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the cabinet body 1. A heat medium inlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the heat transfer oil liquid storage tank 12. The other end of the heat medium inlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inner placement rack 2. A heat medium return pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner placement rack 2. The other end of the heat medium return pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the heat transfer oil liquid storage tank 12. Solenoid valves are arranged at the liquid inlet end of the heat medium return pipe 5 and the liquid outlet end of the heat medium inlet pipe 4. First transfer pumps 14 are installed in the pipelines of the heat medium inlet pipe 4 and the refrigerant inlet pipe 7. A refrigeration mechanism 11 is arranged on the back of the cabinet body 1. The radiator of the refrigeration mechanism 11 is placed inside the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3. A resistance heating pipe 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the heat transfer oil liquid storage tank 12. When cooling the inside of the cabinet body 1, the solenoid valves on the heat medium inlet pipe 4 and the heat medium return pipe 5 can be closed, and then the first transfer pump 14 on the refrigerant inlet pipe 7 is started. At this time, the first transfer pump 14 can introduce the refrigerant inside the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3 into the internal flow cavity of the inner placement rack 2 along the refrigerant inlet pipe 7. As the refrigerant continuously flows into the inner placement rack 2, it finally flows back into the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3 from the refrigerant return pipe 6. At this time, the refrigerant can effectively cool the inner placement rack 2. Since the item to be processed is placed in the internal placement cavity of the inner placement rack 2, this can perform rapid and stable freezing operations. When it is necessary to heat the item to be processed, the refrigerant in the internal cavity of the inner placement rack 2 is emptied. Then, the solenoid valves on the refrigerant inlet pipe 7 and the refrigerant return pipe 6 are closed, and then the first transfer pump 14 on the heat medium inlet pipe 4 is used to transport the high-temperature heat transfer oil in the heat transfer oil liquid storage tank 12 to the internal cavity of the inner placement rack 2. As the heat transfer oil continues to be input, finally the heat transfer oil flows back into the heat transfer oil liquid storage tank 12 from the heat medium return pipe 5. At this time, the high-temperature flowing heat transfer oil can effectively increase the temperature of the inner placement rack 2, and then can perform sublimation operations on the ice on the surface of the material to be processed in the internal placement cavity of the inner placement rack 2. The dryer can achieve rapid and stable heating operations, effectively improving the working stability of the entire dryer and effectively improving the working rate of the dryer. During the operation of the dryer, the refrigeration mechanism 11 is used to refrigerate the refrigerant inside the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3, and the resistance heating pipe 13 is used to heat the heat transfer oil inside the heat transfer oil liquid storage tank 12.
[0027] Refer to Figure 2 , a suction pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the back of the cabinet body 1, and a vacuum pump 16 is fixedly installed in the pipeline of the suction pipe 15. The air inside the cabinet body 1 can be extracted by using the vacuum pump 16 and the suction pipe 15 to perform a vacuum pumping operation on the inside of the cabinet body 1.
[0028] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , a liquid discharge main pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inner placement rack 2. The liquid discharge ends of the liquid discharge main pipe 8 are respectively communicated with a first liquid discharge branch pipe 9 and a second liquid discharge branch pipe 10. A second transfer pump 17 is fixedly installed in the pipeline of the liquid discharge main pipe 8. Solenoid valves are provided at the liquid inlet port of the liquid discharge main pipe 8, on the pipeline of the first liquid discharge branch pipe 9, and on the pipeline of the second liquid discharge branch pipe 10. The liquid discharge end of the first liquid discharge branch pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the heat transfer oil storage tank 12, and the liquid discharge end of the second liquid discharge branch pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the refrigerant storage tank 3. After refrigeration is completed, the solenoid valves on the liquid discharge main pipe 8 and the second liquid discharge branch pipe 10 can be opened, and then the second transfer pump 17 is started. At this time, the second transfer pump 17 can transport the refrigerant in the inner cavity of the inner placement rack 2 to the inside of the refrigerant storage tank 3. After the refrigerant in the inner cavity of the inner placement rack 2 is emptied, the solenoid valves on the liquid discharge main pipe 8 and the second liquid discharge branch pipe 10 are closed. Similarly, after heating is completed, the solenoid valve on the first liquid discharge branch pipe 9 is opened so that the heat transfer oil can flow into the inside of the heat transfer oil storage tank 12. This structure can effectively prevent the heat transfer oil from mixing with the refrigerant.
[0029] Working principle: When in use, first install the dryer at the designated position, then place the tray containing the items to be processed in the placement cavity of the inner placement rack 2, then close the cabinet door, and then start the vacuum pump 16. Use the vacuum pump 16 and the suction pipe 15 to extract the air inside the cabinet body 1, and perform a vacuum operation on the inside of the cabinet body 1. At the same time, start the refrigeration mechanism 11, and use the refrigeration mechanism 11 to refrigerate the refrigerant inside the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3. Then close the solenoid valves on the heat medium inlet pipe 4 and the heat medium return pipe 5, and then start the first delivery pump 14 on the refrigerant inlet pipe 7. At this time, the first delivery pump 14 can introduce the refrigerant inside the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3 along the refrigerant inlet pipe 7 into the internal flow cavity of the inner placement rack 2. As the refrigerant continuously flows into the inner placement rack 2, it finally flows back into the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3 from the refrigerant return pipe 6. At this time, the refrigerant can effectively refrigerate the inner placement rack 2. Since the items to be processed are placed in the placement cavity inside the inner placement rack 2, this can perform a fast and stable freezing operation. After freezing, open the solenoid valves on the drain main pipe 8 and the second drain branch pipe 10, and then start the second delivery pump 17. At this time, the second delivery pump 17 can transport the refrigerant in the internal cavity of the inner placement rack 2 to the inside of the refrigerant liquid storage tank 3. After the refrigerant in the internal cavity of the inner placement rack 2 is emptied, close the solenoid valves on the drain main pipe 8 and the second drain branch pipe 10. When it is necessary to heat the items to be processed, the resistance heating tube 13 is used to heat the heat-conducting oil inside the heat-conducting oil liquid storage tank 12. Then close the solenoid valves on the refrigerant inlet pipe 7 and the refrigerant return pipe 6, and then use the first delivery pump 14 on the heat medium inlet pipe 4 to transport the high-temperature heat-conducting oil in the heat-conducting oil liquid storage tank 12 to the internal cavity of the inner placement rack 2. As the heat-conducting oil continues to be input, finally the heat-conducting oil flows back into the heat-conducting oil liquid storage tank 12 from the heat medium return pipe 5. At this time, the high-temperature flowing heat-conducting oil can effectively increase the temperature of the inner placement rack 2, and then can perform a sublimation operation on the ice on the surface of the items to be processed in the placement cavity inside the inner placement rack 2. At this time, the items can be dried. After the processing is completed, open the cabinet door and remove the items.

Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
