[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 4 A long spiral freezer includes a tube body 1 with a closed bottom end, multiple liquid supply pipes 2 located in the tube body 1, and a first partition 3. A second partition 11 is provided on the top of the tube body 1, and a collecting pipe 111 is provided on the second partition 11. A spiral leaf 12 is provided on the outside of the tube body 1, and a cavity 121 connected to the tube body 1 is provided in the spiral leaf 12. There are at least two first partitions 3, and the first partition 3 and the second partition 11 separate the tube body 1 into multiple freezing sections A. Adjacent freezing sections A are connected through the cavity 121, and the output ends of the multiple liquid supply pipes 2 are respectively located in different freezing sections A.

[0025] Under this design, the operator operates the long spiral drill to drill the long spiral freezer directly into the hole, and then separates the long spiral drill from the long spiral freezer and operates the long spiral drill to leave the current area;

[0026] Connect the external liquid nitrogen delivery equipment to the multiple liquid supply pipes 2, and introduce liquid nitrogen into the liquid supply pipes 2. Under the guidance of the liquid supply pipes 2, the liquid nitrogen flows to different freezing sections A respectively, and enters the pipe body 1 from the corresponding freezing sections A. Finally, it exists in the pipe body 1 in the form of low-temperature nitrogen. It freezes the soil through the pipe body and spiral blades, and the low-temperature nitrogen in the pipe body 1 will continue to rise;

[0027] Under the action of the first partition 3, the speed at which the low-temperature nitrogen leaves the corresponding freezing section A is limited, so that the low-temperature nitrogen can enter the cavity 121 of the freezing section A, so that the spiral blades 12 also have freezing ability. The spiral blades 12 increase the contact area with the soil layer and improve the freezing speed.

[0028] Of course, after freezing with liquid nitrogen for a period of time, the operator can also connect the liquid supply pipe 2 to an external brine delivery device. Considering the high cost of liquid nitrogen, using liquid nitrogen during the active freezing phase can achieve a faster freezing effect. After the active freezing phase, the maintenance freezing phase begins, during which brine is used for maintenance freezing, which can ensure the freezing effect while reducing costs. In addition, the operator can connect the collection pipe 111 to an external collection device to collect the rising low-temperature liquid nitrogen or brine.

[0029] Preferably, the first partition 3 includes a horizontally arranged first plate body 31 and a second plate body 32 connected to the first plate body 31. The second plate body 32 is arranged around the edge of the first plate body 31. The first plate body 31 separates the tube body 1 into multiple freezing sections A. The second plate body 32 is used to close the side of the partial cavity 121 located in the freezing section A.

[0030] Specifically, the purpose of using the second plate 32 to seal the side of part of the cavity 121 located in the freezing section A is to allow the nitrogen to be discharged along the cavity 121 of the spiral blade 12, allowing the low-temperature nitrogen to continue to freeze the rock and soil. Simply put, when the low-temperature nitrogen rises, the first plate 31 prevents the freezing section A located in the lower layer from directly entering the freezing section A in the upper layer from the tube body 1, so the low-temperature nitrogen will enter the cavity 121 of the spiral blade 12. Under the obstruction of the second plate 32, the low-temperature nitrogen can only move along the cavity 121 around the outside of the second plate 32. Because the second plate 32 only seals part of the cavity 121, when the low-temperature nitrogen ascends to the unsealed cavity 121 area, some of the nitrogen will enter the upper freezing section A and continue to rise after mixing with the low-temperature nitrogen in the upper freezing section A.

[0031] Furthermore, the height of the second plate 32 is 4 / 5 to 9 / 10 of the height of the freezing section A. In practical applications, the height of the second plate 32 can be 4 / 5 or 9 / 10 of the height of the freezing section A. The purpose is to seal the sides of more cavities 121 in the freezing section A to allow the low-temperature nitrogen to flow in the cavities 121, thereby ensuring the freezing effect of the spiral blades 12.

[0032] Preferably, the first plate 31 is made of a heat-insulating material. Considering that each freezing segment A can be independent of each other, the first plate 31 is made of a heat-insulating material, which can avoid heat transfer between adjacent freezing segments A to a certain extent.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are two first partitions 3, which separate the tube body 1 into three freezing sections A. There are three liquid supply pipes 2. In actual applications, the operator can increase the number of first partitions 3 and liquid supply pipes 2 based on actual conditions, but the number of freezing sections A must match the number of liquid supply pipes 2.

[0034] Preferably, there are two second baffles 11, both of which are connected to the tube body 1 and located above the first baffle 3. A collecting section B is formed between the two second baffles 11, and the highest point of the spiral blade 12 is located in the collecting section B.

[0035] Specifically, the collection section B is used to store the low-temperature nitrogen or brine that rises to the top of the pipe body 1, and collects and processes it through the collection pipe 111 and external collection equipment for secondary use. In addition, the second partition 11 is also made of a heat-insulating material.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom end of the liquid supply pipe 2 is sealed, and a plurality of output holes 21 are provided on the side wall of the liquid supply pipe 2 near the bottom end. The plurality of output holes 21 form the output end of the liquid supply pipe 2. The use of the liquid supply pipe 2 with a sealed bottom end ensures uniform output of low-temperature nitrogen from the output end, and the heat exchange between the low-temperature nitrogen and the external soil ensures uniform freezing.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and intent of the present application, and that the scope of the present application is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
