Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and more specifically, to an installation structure for a quick-freezing tunnel air cooler. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most tunnel cooling fans on the market use a single evaporator with a fan installed on one side for cooling operation, such as... Figure 1 As shown: A single evaporator 2 is installed inside the tunnel shell 1, and the air inlet channel 21 is located on one side of the evaporator 2. The fan body 31 blows air from a single direction. Due to the large thickness of the single evaporator 2, the resistance encountered by the fan body 31 when blowing air is increased, which affects the air volume of the fan body 31, reduces the cooling effect of the tunnel, and may ultimately lead to the problem of incomplete product freezing. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an installation structure for a quick-freezing tunnel air cooler to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] The present invention relates to a quick-freezing tunnel air cooler installation structure, comprising a tunnel shell, wherein an evaporator and a fan assembly are provided inside the tunnel shell, and two sets of evaporators are provided, the two sets of evaporators are arranged in parallel, an air inlet channel is provided between the two sets of evaporators, and a fan assembly is provided on each of the two sets of evaporators, the two sets of fan assemblies sharing a common air inlet channel.
[0006] Preferably, the fan assembly includes a fan body, a duct housing, and an inlet filter. The fan body is disposed on one side of the duct housing, and the inlet filter is disposed on the other side of the duct housing. The inlet filter filters the airflow entering through the inlet duct.
[0007] Preferably, the air duct housing is connected to the evaporator and divides the interior of the evaporator into several air inlets. Each air inlet corresponds to a fan body. The fan body is installed on the side of the evaporator away from the air inlet channel. When the fan body is working, the fan body draws in air through the air inlet. The air inlet channel draws in the gas outside the evaporator. After being processed by the evaporator, the cold air is blown out through the fan body.
[0008] Preferably, the evaporator and fan assembly are mounted on a bracket inside the tunnel housing near the top, and the cold airflow moves from top to bottom, covering the product to be frozen.
[0009] Preferably, a product freezing platform is provided on the bracket below the evaporator and fan assembly, and the freezing platform is used to place products to be frozen.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] This utility model discloses a quick-freezing tunnel air cooler installation structure. By replacing the traditional single set of thick evaporators with two sets of thin evaporators and optimizing the airflow path, ventilation resistance is significantly reduced and airflow efficiency is improved, thereby enhancing overall freezing efficiency. The design adopts a combination of side-mounted fan layout and central air inlet channel to ensure that the cold airflow can evenly cover each product, avoiding the problem of uneven freezing in certain areas. Due to the reduction in ventilation resistance and the improvement in airflow efficiency, the entire system operates more energy-efficiently, reducing unnecessary energy loss. The modular component design facilitates daily maintenance and component replacement, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Through the above optimization measures, the freezing quality of products such as ice cream is ensured, which not only improves production efficiency but also improves the texture and taste of the final product.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Combination Figures 1-3This utility model discloses a quick-freezing tunnel air cooler installation structure, including a tunnel shell 1. The tunnel shell 1 is the outer frame of the entire quick-freezing tunnel and is made of stainless steel or other low-temperature resistant materials. It has good heat insulation performance to maintain the internal freezing environment. An evaporator 2 and a fan assembly 3 are installed inside the tunnel shell 1. The evaporator 2 and the fan assembly 3 are installed in the tunnel shell 1 near the top through a bracket 4. A product freezing platform 5 is installed on the bracket 4 below the evaporator 2 and the fan assembly 3. The evaporator 2 is responsible for generating cold airflow to freeze the products in the tunnel. The fan assembly 3 promotes air circulation and ensures that the cold air is evenly distributed throughout the tunnel.
[0019] Two sets of evaporators 2 are provided, and the two sets of evaporators 2 are arranged in parallel with a gap to form an air inlet channel 21. Compared with the prior art, the present invention replaces the single set of thick evaporators 2 in the existing tunnel with two sets of thin evaporators 2. The total evaporation area remains unchanged, but the thickness of the single set of air inlet is reduced, thus reducing the ventilation resistance.
[0020] The fan assembly 3 includes a fan body 31, an air duct housing 32, and an air inlet filter 33. The fan body 31 is located on one side of the air duct housing 32, and the air inlet filter 33 is located on the other side of the air duct housing 32. The air duct housing 32 is connected to the evaporator 2 and divides the interior of the evaporator 2 into several air inlets. Each air inlet corresponds to one fan body 31. The fan body 31 is installed on the side of the evaporator 2 away from the air inlet channel 21. The air inlet filter 33 filters the airflow entering through the air inlet channel 21. When the fan body 31 is working, the fan body 31 draws in air through the air inlet. The air inlet channel 21 draws in external air from the evaporator 2, processes it, and blows the cold airflow out through the fan body 31. Two sets of fan assemblies 3 are set up for the two sets of evaporators 2. The two sets of fan assemblies 3 work simultaneously to increase the air circulation speed, ensure smooth and unobstructed airflow, reduce the tunnel temperature, increase the air volume, and ensure the product freezes well.
[0021] Working process: The evaporator 2 and fan assembly 3 are turned on. The two sets of thin evaporators 2 start working and generate cold airflow. At the same time, the air inlet filter 33 is ready to filter the incoming air. The fan body 31 in the fan assembly 3 starts and draws in external air through the air inlet channel 21 through the air duct housing 32. Since there is a gap between the two sets of evaporators 2 to form the air inlet channel 21, the ventilation resistance is significantly reduced, which helps to improve the air circulation efficiency. After being filtered by the air inlet filter 33, the drawn-in air enters the interior of the evaporator 2. During this process, the air is cooled. Each air inlet corresponds to a fan body 31, which ensures that the cold airflow can be evenly distributed throughout the tunnel. The cooled air is blown out by the fan body 31 and covers the products to be frozen on the product freezing platform 5, quickly reducing the temperature of the products and achieving a quick-freezing effect. The two sets of fan assemblies 3 work at the same time, increasing the air circulation speed and ensuring the efficiency and uniformity of the freezing process.
