[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0024] Example: A combined ice storage coil, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes an ice storage frame 1, with several main coils 2 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the ice storage frame 1. Flow ports 3 corresponding to the number of main coils 2 are opened on both sides of the ice storage frame 1. The main coils 2 are threaded. Several guide plates 4 are engaged at the top of the ice storage frame 1. A collection groove 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the ice storage frame 1, and a diversion groove 6 is fixedly installed on the other side of the ice storage frame. The main coils 2 are hollow tubes that extend in a threaded manner. The main coils 2 are connected to the number of flow ports 3 via pipelines. The main coils 2 of the combined ice storage coil adopt a threaded design. This unique structure greatly increases the contact area between the coil and the ice storage medium. Compared with ordinary straight pipes, it allows the refrigerant and the ice storage medium to exchange heat more fully, effectively improving the ice storage efficiency.
[0025] like Figures 1-4As shown, the top of the ice storage frame 1 has several mounting slots 7, which engage with the bottom of the guide plate 4. The guide plate 4 is inclined and forms a rectangular groove with the help of the mounting slots 7. The surface of the distribution groove 6 has several liquid inlet grooves 8 corresponding to the number of flow ports 3. A connecting flange 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the liquid inlet groove 8. A liquid inlet pipe 10 is connected to one side of the distribution groove 6 and is connected to an external refrigerant device. The collection groove 5 engages with the flow ports 3. The ice storage frame 1, guide plate 4, distribution groove 6 and other components adopt a modular design, and the components can be quickly engaged and disassembled. This allows for flexible combination according to actual needs during installation, facilitating system expansion; and during later maintenance, faulty components can be quickly located and replaced, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost.
[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a flow regulating rod 11 is movably installed on the inner wall of the flow port 3 near the flow divider 6. The flow regulating rod 11 passes through the flow port 3, and several disc-shaped flow regulating plates 12 are fixedly installed on its surface. The flow regulating plates 12 engage with the flow port 3. A twist handle 13 is movably installed on the outer side of the ice storage frame 1. The twist handle 13 is connected and fixed to the flow regulating rod 11. A temperature detector 14 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom end of the ice storage frame 1. The flow regulating rod 11 and flow regulating plates 12 are installed near the flow port 3 of the flow divider 6. The flow rate of the refrigerant can be easily adjusted by twisting the handle 13. Whether in the ice storage or ice melting stage, the refrigerant flow rate can be flexibly controlled according to actual needs to ensure the efficient operation of the entire ice storage system.
[0027] Working Principle: During the ice storage stage, an external refrigerant device delivers low-temperature refrigerant to the distribution tank 6 via the inlet pipe 10. The refrigerant then enters the threaded main coil 2 through the inlet tank 8 and flow port 3 on the distribution tank 6. The main coil 2 exchanges heat with the water in the ice storage frame 1, cooling the water into ice. During this process, the guide plate 4 guides the refrigerant to flow evenly through the ice storage frame 1, ensuring uniform ice storage; the flow regulating rod 11 can adjust the refrigerant flow rate of each main coil 2 as needed, achieving precise temperature control. During the ice melting stage, high-temperature refrigerant flows in from the collection tank 5, absorbs heat from the ice layer through the main coil 2, and the ice layer melts, releasing cooling capacity to meet refrigeration needs. The temperature detector 14 monitors the temperature inside the ice storage frame 1 in real time, providing data support for the operation and control of the entire system.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
