[0005] To achieve the above technical solution, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the multi-stage refrigeration and heating system includes at least one refrigeration system and one heating system, wherein the refrigeration system and the heating system are connected in series.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the refrigeration system includes a compressor, a pressure reducing valve, an evaporator, and a condenser, and they are interconnected by pipelines.
[0009] The heating system and the refrigeration system have the same structure; similarly, the heating system includes a compressor, a pressure reducing valve, an evaporator, and a condenser, and they are connected to each other through pipelines.
[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the refrigeration system and the heating system are connected in series, the condenser of the refrigeration system and the evaporator of the heating system constitute a condenser-evaporator; the condenser-evaporator functions as a condenser in the refrigeration system and as an evaporator in the heating system.
[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the evaporator of the refrigeration system is disposed in a low-temperature chamber, and the condenser of the heating system is disposed in a high-temperature radiator.
[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the high-temperature radiator includes one or more of the following: an air radiator, a liquid radiator, and a steam radiator.
[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the air radiator adopts an air surface cooler. The air surface cooler releases the heat of the heat medium inside the radiator into the outside air through the finned tubes provided on its surface, and the heat is carried away by the airflow.
[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the liquid radiator releases the heat of the heat medium inside the radiator into cold water, and the cold water carries away the heat.
[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the steam radiator includes a steam generator, an inlet pipe disposed at the input end of the steam generator, and a steam outlet disposed at the output end of the steam generator; wherein the steam generator is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

[0020] In this invention, the multi-stage refrigeration and heating system includes at least one refrigeration system and one heating system. By connecting the refrigeration and heating systems in series, heat in the coal mine can be transferred step by step. The heat is transferred to the outside of the mine through a high-temperature radiator, effectively reducing the temperature inside the mine.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] As attached Figure 1As shown, the local reverse cold circulation cooling system of this utility model includes a low-temperature chamber 1, a condenser-evaporator 2, and a high-temperature radiator 3. The low-temperature chamber 1 and the condenser-evaporator 2 are connected by a refrigeration system 4, and the condenser-evaporator 2 and the high-temperature radiator 3 are connected by a heating system 5. The low-temperature chamber 1 is located on the upwind side of the refrigeration system 4, and the high-temperature radiator 3 is located on the downwind side of the heating system 5.
[0032] In one embodiment of the local reverse cooling cycle system of this utility model, when the system is running, the first compressor 41 of the refrigeration system 4 compresses the heat medium in the low-temperature chamber 1 into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid, which then enters the condenser-evaporator 2 for heat dissipation and cooling, becoming a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid. After being depressurized by the first pressure reducing valve 42, it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas and enters the low-temperature chamber 1. The low-temperature, low-pressure gas absorbs heat from the low-temperature chamber through the evaporator of the refrigeration system 4, becoming a medium-temperature, low-pressure gas. After being drawn in and compressed by the first compressor 41 of the refrigeration system 4, it is pressurized and circulates. The low-temperature, low-pressure gas absorbs heat in the low-temperature chamber 1, which can reduce the temperature in the low-temperature chamber 1 to below 5°C. The first compressor 41 of the refrigeration system 4 compresses the heat medium into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid, which then enters the condenser-evaporator 2 for heat dissipation and cooling, avoiding the accumulation of a large amount of high-temperature liquid. The depressurized low-temperature, low-pressure gas is transferred to the low-temperature chamber 1 for circulation and cooling through the first pressure reducing valve 42. At the same time, the heating system 5 further transfers heat.
[0033] The second compressor 51 of the heating system 5 compresses the heat medium into a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid and enters the high-temperature radiator 3. After heat dissipation and cooling, it becomes a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid. After being depressurized by the second pressure reducing valve 52, it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas and enters the condenser evaporator 2. After absorbing the heat transferred from the heat medium of the refrigeration system 4, it becomes a medium-temperature, low-pressure gas and is then drawn into the second compressor 51 of the heating system 5 for compression and cyclic operation.
[0034] When the cooling system of this utility model is running, the refrigeration system 4 can reduce the temperature in the low-temperature chamber 1 to below 5°C and raise the temperature of the heat medium to above 60°C; while the heating system 5 can raise the temperature of the heat medium from 60°C to above 100°C; the heat is transferred to the outside of the mine through a step-by-step "transportation", which not only effectively reduces the temperature in the coal mine, but also allows for the secondary utilization of the transferred heat.
[0035] In another embodiment of the local reverse cooling cycle cooling system of this utility model, when the high-temperature radiator 3 is selected as an air radiator, the high-pressure high-temperature liquid compressed by the second compressor 51 of the heating system 5 enters the finned tube of the high-temperature radiator 3, and the heat is dissipated into the air by the finned tube and carried away by the airflow.
[0036] In another embodiment of the local reverse cooling system of this utility model, when the high-temperature radiator 3 is a steam radiator, the tap water is softened by the softening device 7 and then enters the low-temperature side of the steam generator 31 inside the high-temperature radiator 3 through the water inlet pipe 6. By absorbing the heat from the high-temperature side, the temperature of the steam generator 31 is raised to above 100 degrees Celsius, and steam is generated and discharged from the steam outlet 8.
[0037] It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the detailed structure and arrangement of the components presented herein. This invention can have other embodiments and can be implemented and performed in various ways. The foregoing variations and modifications fall within the scope of this invention. It should be understood that the invention disclosed and defined herein extends to all alternative combinations of two or more individual features mentioned or apparent in the text and / or drawings.
