Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of liquid storage tanks, specifically relating to a liquid storage tank with heat exchange function. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, liquid storage tanks are mostly made of materials such as polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which do not have heat exchange functions. As a result, if a liquid of a certain temperature is filled in the storage tank, it cannot be cooled down quickly, and there is a possibility of scalding people during transportation.

[0003] This invention aims to mitigate or at least alleviate such problems by providing a liquid storage tank with heat exchange function. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of one or more of the above-mentioned defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present invention provides a liquid storage tank with heat exchange function, which has the advantage of being able to exchange heat.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a bottom heat exchange part is fixedly provided at the bottom of the inner barrel. The bottom heat exchange part is a vortex-shaped cavity with a quadrilateral cross-sectional profile.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom heat exchange section is also fixedly provided with a refrigerant outlet, the size of which is adapted to the bottom heat exchange section.

It achieves heat exchange for the liquid material injected into the tank by setting up a top heat exchange section, a side heat exchange section, and a bottom heat exchange section. The side heat exchange section is designed as a spiral cavity with a quadrilateral cross-section. Compared to a circle, the quadrilateral shape allows for a larger contact area between the refrigerant and the side wall within the cavity.

[0018] 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.

[0019] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0020] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0021] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-3 Give, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a liquid storage tank with heat exchange function according to the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the side heat exchange section is a spiral heat exchange section, the side gap cross section is a quadrilateral, and the top is provided with a material inlet, a refrigerant inlet and a handle.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom of a liquid storage tank with heat exchange function according to the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the bottom heat exchange part is a vortex heat exchange part, the bottom gap cross section profile is a quadrilateral, and the bottom heat exchange part is also provided with a refrigerant outlet.

[0023] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a liquid storage tank with heat exchange function according to the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, the top heat exchange section is connected to the side heat exchange section, and the side heat exchange section is connected to the bottom heat exchange section.

[0024] A liquid storage tank with heat exchange function includes: a side heat exchange section 2, an inner tank 3, and a top heat exchange section 23;

[0025] The side heat exchange section 2 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the inner barrel 3. The side heat exchange section 2 is a spiral cavity with a quadrilateral cross-sectional profile. The top heat exchange section 23 is fixedly disposed on the top of the inner barrel 3. The top heat exchange section 23 is a disc-shaped cavity. The top heat exchange section 23 is connected to the side heat exchange section 2. A material inlet 1 is fixedly disposed on the top of the top heat exchange section 23. The material inlet 1 passes through the top heat exchange section 23 and connects to the inner barrel 3. A refrigerant inlet 21 is fixedly disposed on the top of the top heat exchange section 23. The refrigerant inlet 21 connects to the top heat exchange section 23.

[0026] During manufacturing, different spiral cavity gaps (i.e., side gaps 22) can be selected based on the tank volume and the temperature of the liquid material requiring heat exchange. When a stronger heat exchange effect is needed, a smaller side gap 22 can be selected or side gap 22 can be omitted, making the spiral cavities closer together or directly attached, increasing the refrigerant contact area. Because the cavities are quadrilateral, they compensate for the gaps that would be left between cylindrical pipes, resulting in a stronger heat exchange effect than ordinary cylindrical pipes.

[0027] In use, first inject refrigerant into the refrigerant inlet. Once the refrigerant has filled the spiral cavity of the side heat exchange section and the disc-shaped cavity of the top heat exchange section, close the refrigerant inlet. Then, inject the liquid material to be stored into the material inlet. If the material has a temperature, it can be rapidly cooled by the liquid in the heat exchange section. Due to the presence of the heat exchange section, the risk of burns from the material is also avoided.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a bottom heat exchange section 4 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the inner barrel 3. The bottom heat exchange section 4 is a vortex-shaped cavity with a quadrilateral cross-sectional profile. The bottom heat exchange section further enhances the heat exchange effect.

[0029] Similarly, during manufacturing, different vortex cavity gaps (i.e., bottom gaps 42) can be selected based on the volume of the tank and the temperature of the liquid material to be exchanged. When a stronger heat exchange effect is required, a smaller bottom gap 42 or no bottom gap 42 can be selected, making the vortex cavity spacing closer or directly attached, increasing the refrigerant contact area. Because the cavities are quadrilateral, they compensate for the defects of gaps left between cylindrical pipes, resulting in a stronger heat exchange effect than ordinary cylindrical pipes.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom heat exchange section 4 is further fixedly provided with a refrigerant outlet 41, the size of which is adapted to the bottom heat exchange section 4. Providing a refrigerant outlet at the bottom facilitates direct dispensing of refrigerant; under the influence of gravity, the refrigerant can flow out automatically without the need for laborious pouring from the refrigerant inlet.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a handle 5 is fixedly provided on the top of the top heat exchange section 23. The handle allows for gripping and facilitates handling or tilting.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner barrel 3, the side heat exchange section 2, the top heat exchange section 23, and the bottom heat exchange section 4 are made of one of polypropylene, polycarbonate, and high-density polyethylene.

[0033] In summary, this utility model provides a liquid storage tank with heat exchange function, which achieves heat exchange for the liquid material injected into the tank by setting up a top heat exchange section, a side heat exchange section, and a bottom heat exchange section. The side heat exchange section is set as a spiral cavity with a quadrilateral cross-section. Compared with a circle, the quadrilateral shape allows for a larger contact area between the refrigerant and the side wall within the cavity. Similarly, the bottom heat exchange section's spiral cavity cross-section is also set as quadrilateral to maximize the contact area between the refrigerant and the bottom wall. Depending on the tank size and the temperature of the liquid material, different side and bottom gaps can be adopted to ensure heat exchange efficiency while minimizing material waste. This utility model also provides a refrigerant outlet at the bottom, allowing the refrigerant to flow out automatically under gravity, eliminating the need for laborious emptying.
