For the person skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0012] As Figure 1-2The utility model provides a cold store double air curtain system, including circulating fan 1, with circulating fan 1's air supply outlet connection's air supply pipeline and with circulating fan 1's return air outlet connection's return air pipeline 2, air supply pipeline and return air pipeline 2 all are arranged in the back cage 3, air supply pipeline has first air supply pipe 4 and second air supply pipe 5, first air supply pipe 4 has a plurality of angle adjustment type's first air supply outlet 6, second air supply pipe 5 has a plurality of angle adjustment type's second air supply outlet 7, still include temperature monitoring unit, goods monitoring unit and control unit, temperature monitoring unit includes refrigeration room temperature probe 8, back cage temperature probe 9 and through the hall temperature probe 10, refrigeration room temperature probe 8, back cage temperature probe 9 and through the hall temperature probe 10's temperature signal output end are connected with the temperature signal input end of controller, goods detection unit is arranged in the back cage 3, including being arranged in the first infrared sensor 11 of inner warehouse door top and being arranged in the second infrared sensor 12 of outer warehouse door top, first infrared sensor 11, second infrared sensor 12's signal output end is connected with the signal input end of controller, is used for obtaining the height and width information of goods,
[0013] Every first air supply outlet 6 corresponds a first electric valve 13, and every second air supply 7 corresponds a second electric valve 14, and the control output end of the controller is connected with the control input end of the first electric valve 13, the second electric valve 14 and the circulating fan 1 respectively, and the controller controls the opening and closing of the air supply outlet by controlling the circulating fan and the electric valve.
[0014] In actual installation, the first air supply outlet 6 and the second air supply outlet 7 are all three or more than three from bottom to top, and the warehouse door lifting height and the air supply height can be determined according to the height of the goods, and the air curtain height formed by air supply can be divided into three or more than three grades. Taking three first air supply outlets as an example: when the height of the goods (including the out-of-store goods and the in-store goods) is less than or equal to 1.4 m, the lowermost first air supply outlet is opened; when the height of the goods is between 1.4 m and 1.8 m, the lower two first air supply outlets are opened; when the height of the goods is greater than 1.8 m, all the three first air supply outlets can be opened, so that the air supply height is flexibly controlled, and the energy consumption of the circulating fan is reduced.
[0015] It should be pointed out that the utility model records the warehouse door between the refrigeration room and the back cage 3 as the inner warehouse door, and the first air supply outlet is arranged at the inner warehouse door; the warehouse door between the back cage 3 and the through hall is recorded as the outer warehouse door, and the second air supply outlet is arranged at the outer warehouse door. The working process of the utility model will be described below by taking the out-of-store goods as an example:
[0016] When the goods are out of store, the inner warehouse door is first opened, and the refrigeration room temperature probe 8 and the back cage temperature probe 9 respectively transmit the monitored temperature signals to the controller, and the controller converts the temperature signals into temperature values, and when the temperature difference between the refrigeration room and the back cage 3 reaches the preset value, the circulating fan 1 is started;
[0017] At the same time, the first infrared sensor 11 transmits the acquired cargo information to the controller, which analyzes the cargo information to determine the cargo height and the width of the return cage. The controller then determines the air supply height and air supply speed of the first air supply outlet based on the cargo height and the width of the cargo entering the return cage. The controller also adjusts the direction of the first air supply outlet based on the temperature difference to minimize heat exchange between the return cage and the cold storage room.
[0018] When the first infrared sensor 11 monitors that the goods have completely entered the return cage room 3, the inner door is closed and the outer door is opened. If the temperature difference between the return cage room 3 and the hall reaches the preset value, the circulation fan 1 continues to work. The controller determines the air supply height and air supply speed of the second air supply outlet according to the height and width of the goods, and adjusts the direction of the second air supply outlet according to the temperature difference to minimize the heat exchange between the return cage room and the hall. When the second infrared sensor 12 monitors that the goods have completely entered the hall, the outer door is closed and finally the circulation fan 1 is turned off.
[0019] The utility model uses a temperature probe to monitor the temperature of the entry and exit areas. When the temperature difference exceeds a preset value, the circulating fan is started to supply air to the opening after the warehouse door is opened. During the entry and exit process, the infrared sensor is used to monitor the height and width information of the goods entering and exiting the warehouse and transmit the information to the controller. The controller can adjust the working number of air outlets and the air supply speed according to the height and width of the goods, thereby minimizing the heat exchange between the return cage room and the cold storage room and between the return cage room and the hallway, and reducing the loss of cooling capacity in the cold storage room during the entry and exit process.
