TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to cold energy collection technical field, concretely is a kind of liquid oxygen vaporization cold energy collection and utilization device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Liquid oxygen vaporization is the process of converting liquid oxygen (LOX) into gaseous oxygen, widely used in medical and industrial fields. Liquid oxygen is stored at extremely low temperature (-183℃), and through the heating of vaporizer or heat exchange with the environment, its temperature is raised and converted into gaseous oxygen. This process is usually carried out under high pressure to ensure the stability and purity of gas output. Liquid oxygen vaporization equipment usually includes heat exchanger, vaporizer and control system to ensure efficient and safe completion of the phase change process. Due to the strong oxidizing property and low temperature characteristics of liquid oxygen, strict safety regulations must be followed during operation to prevent leakage and explosion risks.
[0003] During the conversion of liquid oxygen into gaseous oxygen, a significant endothermic reaction occurs, which results in a decrease in the temperature of the surrounding environment. Currently, the vaporizer we use exchanges heat with air through a heat exchanger, which raises the temperature of the liquid oxygen and thus achieves its vaporization. However, during this liquid oxygen vaporization process, a large amount of cold energy is not effectively recovered and utilized. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a liquid oxygen vaporization cold energy collection and utilization device to solve the problem of cold energy recovery in the prior art.

[0007] Preferably, an active hole is formed at the other end of the extrusion pipe, and the telescopic column is movably installed on the extrusion pipe through the active hole.
[0008] Preferably, the oil cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the extrusion pipe through a mounting frame, one end of the telescopic column is fixedly installed on the output end of the oil cylinder, and the other end of the telescopic column is fixedly installed on the extrusion block.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the reset spring is connected to the bottom of the first cylinder body, the other end of the reset spring is connected to the first piston, and the first cylinder body and the second cylinder body are communicated through the communication pipe.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:
[0013] 1. In the heat exchange process of liquid oxygen and carbon dioxide, the liquid oxygen is converted into a gaseous state through phase change. The phase change process is accompanied by significant heat absorption effect, which causes the temperature of the carbon dioxide in the heat preservation box to decrease to the sublimation point of the carbon dioxide, and then the carbon dioxide is phase changed into solid dry ice. The formed dry ice particles are then deposited in the extrusion pipe at the bottom of the receiving hopper. Through accurate control of the telescopic action of the oil cylinder, the telescopic column can drive the extrusion block to reciprocate, so that the dry ice is extruded. During the extrusion process, the dry ice is discharged through the conical head, and the cold energy released during the vaporization of the liquid oxygen is fully utilized to prepare the dry ice.
[0014] 2. In the forward movement process of the telescopic column, the second piston is synchronously driven to move towards the inside of the second cylinder body, so that the gas in the second cylinder body is compressed and extruded into the first cylinder body, causing the first piston to move forward. Subsequently, the forward movement of the first piston drives the top rod into the receiving hopper, the top rod rises in the receiving hopper, pushes the upper end of the collecting flap, and increases the inclination angle of the flap, so as to effectively collect the dry ice in the receiving hopper into the extrusion pipe.

Specific implementation
[0021] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0022] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a kind of liquid oxygen vaporization cold energy collection and utilization device's technical scheme, including heat preservation box body 1, air inlet 2 and exhaust port 3 are fixedly installed on heat preservation box body 1, heat exchanger 4 is fixedly installed in heat preservation box body 1, heat exchange fin 7 is fixedly installed on heat exchanger 4, recycling mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of heat preservation box body 1, receiving hopper 501 is equipped with collection mechanism 6, heat preservation box body 1 and heat exchanger 4 cooperation, can be used to make dry ice with the cold energy of liquid oxygen gasification, and recycling mechanism 5 can be extruded into shape with the dry ice made.
[0023] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the recovery mechanism 5 includes a receiving hopper 501 fixedly installed at the bottom of the insulation box 1, a pressing pipe 504 fixedly installed at the bottom of the receiving hopper 501, a tapered head 503 fixedly installed at one end of the pressing pipe 504, a telescopic column 507 movably installed at the other end of the pressing pipe 504, a pressing block 505 fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic column 507, a through hole 502 formed in the receiving hopper 501, a mounting bracket 506 fixedly installed on the pressing pipe 504, an oil cylinder 508 fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 506, and an output end of the oil cylinder 508 fixedly installed on the telescopic column 507. An active hole is formed in the other end of the pressing pipe 504, and the telescopic column 507 is movably installed in the active hole of the pressing pipe 504.
[0024] Specifically, through the heat exchange process between liquid oxygen and carbon dioxide, the liquid oxygen can be converted from liquid state to gaseous state. In this conversion process, the liquid oxygen absorbs the heat of the surrounding environment, causing the carbon dioxide in the insulation box 1 to undergo desublimation and form dry ice. The dry ice formed by desublimation will gradually accumulate and eventually fall into the pressing pipe 504 located at the bottom of the receiving hopper 501. To further process the dry ice, the telescopic action of the oil cylinder 508 can be controlled. When the oil cylinder 508 telescopes, the telescopic column 507 moves, thereby driving the pressing block 505 to move back and forth in the pressing pipe 504. The back-and-forth movement of the pressing block 505 can effectively extrude the dry ice through the tapered head 503 and discharge it. Thus, the cold energy of the vaporization of liquid oxygen is used to make dry ice.
[0025] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the collection mechanism 6 includes a first cylinder body 603 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the receiving hopper 501 and a collection flap 601 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the receiving hopper 501. The first cylinder body 603 is provided with a reset spring 605 and a first piston 604 movably installed therein. The first piston 604 is fixedly installed with a top rod 602. The pressing pipe 504 is fixedly installed with a second cylinder body 608, and the telescopic column 507 is fixedly installed with a second piston 607. The second piston 607 is aligned with the second cylinder body 608. The first cylinder body 603 and the second cylinder body 608 are provided with a communication pipe 606. The top rod 602 extends into the receiving hopper 501 through the through hole 502. The collection flap 601 is rotatably installed in the receiving hopper 501 through a hinge provided at the lower end of the collection flap 601.
[0026] Specifically, during the forward movement of the telescopic column 507, the second piston 607 is pushed to move to the inside of the second cylinder body 608, causing the gas in the second cylinder body 608 to be squeezed into the first cylinder body 603. With the transfer of the gas, the first piston 604 also moves forward. When the first piston 604 moves forward, it further drives the top rod 602 to enter the inside of the receiving hopper 501. Once the top rod 602 enters the receiving hopper 501, it lifts the upper end portion of the gathering flap 601, thereby increasing the inclination angle of the gathering flap 601. Such inclination angle change greatly facilitates the gathering of dry ice in the receiving hopper 501 into the extrusion pipe 504, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire system.
[0027] Working principle: when in use, carbon dioxide enters the heat preservation box body 1 through the gas inlet 2, and when the carbon dioxide enters the heat preservation box body 1, the liquid oxygen can pass through the heat exchanger 4 to exchange heat with the carbon dioxide, so that the liquid oxygen is converted into gas. In the process of converting the liquid oxygen into gas, the surrounding heat is absorbed, so that the carbon dioxide in the heat preservation box body 1 sublimes into dry ice. The sublimed dry ice falls into the extrusion pipe 504 at the bottom of the receiving hopper 501, and then the oil cylinder 508 can be controlled to stretch and retract. During the stretching and retracting process of the oil cylinder 508, the telescopic column 507 drives the extrusion block 505 to move forward and backward, so as to extrude the dry ice to be discharged through the conical head 503, thereby using the cold quantity of the vaporization of the liquid oxygen to make dry ice. During the forward movement of the telescopic column 507, the second piston 607 is also driven to move to the inside of the second cylinder body 608, so as to extrude the gas in the second cylinder body 608 into the first cylinder body 603, so that the first piston 604 moves forward. After the first piston 604 moves forward, it drives the top rod 602 to enter the receiving hopper 501. The top rod 602 entering the receiving hopper 501 lifts the upper end of the gathering flap 601, so that the inclination angle of the gathering flap 601 is increased, facilitating the gathering of the dry ice in the receiving hopper 501 into the extrusion pipe 504.
