Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material storage equipment, and in particular to an air-cooled box structure. Background Technology

[0002] Material storage typically uses closed containers. However, large closed containers are difficult to refrigerate and store at low temperatures, usually requiring specialized equipment, which leads to excessive costs. In low-cost air-cooled enclosure structures, guiding the circulation of cold air around the large closed container and ensuring sufficient heat exchange between the container and the cold air is crucial. This plays a decisive role in cooling speed, cooling effect, and overall energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes an air-cooled enclosure structure, which offers significant advantages in terms of cooling speed, cooling effect, and overall energy consumption of the storage tank.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An air-cooled enclosure structure, including

[0006] The box-shaped enclosure has an open top;

[0007] The lid is detachable and can be installed on the open top of the box to close the open top of the box.

[0008] A partition is vertically installed inside the box and divides the box into a first space and a second space. The volume of the first space is larger than that of the second space, and the first space is connected to the second space at both the top and bottom. The first space is used to place containers and to house a circulating fan and a refrigeration evaporator.

[0009] The circulating fan guides the airflow to flow from bottom to top in the second space.

[0010] Preferably, the box cover is provided with a cold air inflow channel, and one side port of the cold air inflow channel is connected to the upper end of the second space.

[0011] Preferably, the lid is provided with a channel partition, which, together with part of the inner wall of the lid, forms a channel for cold air to flow in.

[0012] Preferably, the inside of the box cover is provided with an air distribution mesh plate, and an air distribution channel is formed between the air distribution mesh plate and the inner top plate of the box cover. This air distribution channel is connected to the cold air inflow channel.

[0013] Preferably, the wind distribution mesh is a horizontally arranged mesh.

[0014] Preferably, the wind distribution mesh is vertically opposite to the first space.

[0015] Preferably, the container is a horizontally positioned storage tank with a circular cross-section.

[0016] The beneficial effects of using this utility model are:

[0017] This air-cooled enclosure structure incorporates partitions, cold air inflow channels, and air distribution mesh panels inside the enclosure and cover. These partitions, cold air inflow channels, and air distribution mesh panels can combine to form an air-guiding structure. This air-guiding structure, through an air-driven device, guides air to circulate in a distributed manner within the enclosure and cover. Specifically, it guides air to flow evenly and downwards from the top of the cover into the first space inside the enclosure, which is beneficial for the distribution of cold air within the first space inside the enclosure.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this technical solution clearer, the following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further illustrates this technical solution. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this technical solution.

[0026] To address the problem of difficulty in configuring an efficient airflow structure within the housing 10 in the prior art, this embodiment proposes an air-cooled housing 10 structure, which has significant advantages in terms of cooling speed, cooling effect, and overall energy consumption of the storage tank.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air-cooled housing 10 in this embodiment has an open top, and a feed inlet 11 and a pressure balancing window 12 are provided on the side of the housing 10. The feed inlet 11 is used to input materials into the container inside, which is a storage tank 50 in this embodiment. The function of the pressure balancing window 12 is to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the housing 10 caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of the air when the internal air temperature changes.

[0028] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is generally a cubic structure with a rectangular horizontal cross-section. A circulating fan 30 and a refrigeration evaporator 40 are installed on the side wall at one end along the length of the housing 10. Figure 1 As shown, the motor and heat dissipation unit of the circulating fan 30 are located outside the housing 10, while the refrigerant delivery pipeline of the evaporator 40 is opened on the side wall of the housing 10 in this direction.

[0029] The cover 20 is detachably installed at the top opening of the box 10 and can close the top opening of the box 10. Opening the cover 20 allows for the installation and maintenance of components inside the box 10, such as the circulating fan 30, the refrigeration evaporator 40, and the storage tank 50.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a partition 13 is provided inside the box 10. The partition 13 is vertically arranged inside the box 10 and divides the box 10 into a first space and a second space. The volume of the first space is larger than the volume of the second space, and the first space is connected to the second space at both the top and bottom. The first space is used to place containers and is used to set up a circulating fan 30 and a refrigeration evaporator 40.

[0031] Below the partition 13, there is a mesh return air window 131. The function of the return air window 131 is to serve as a channel for air in the first space of the housing 10 to enter the second space. The return air window 131 is made of mesh material, which can prevent debris from entering the second space, and thus prevent debris from entering the refrigeration evaporator 40 and the circulating fan 30, so as to avoid affecting the normal operation of the refrigeration evaporator 40 and the circulating fan 30.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, a cold air inflow channel 21 and an air distribution mesh 22 are specially designed inside the box cover 20. The box cover 20 is generally trapezoidal in structure and serves as an insulated cover. The cold air inflow channel 21 is located inside the box cover 20, with one end being elongated. After the box body 10 and the box cover 20 are fastened together, this end of the cold air inflow channel 21 connects with the top of the second space. The first side of the cold air inflow channel 21 uses the space between the top wall of the box cover 20 and the air distribution mesh 22 as an air distribution channel. In this embodiment, the air distribution mesh 22 is a mesh with multiple elongated holes.

[0033] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, after the box body 10 and the box cover 20 are connected, the cold air inflow channel 21 connects with the top of the second space, and the contact points between the box body 10 and the box cover 20 are sealed by a sealing strip.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, when the evaporator 40 and the circulating fan 30 are working normally, air first enters the second space from the first space through the return air window 131 below the partition 13. After being cooled by the evaporator 40, it is driven upward by the circulating fan 30 to the cold air inflow channel 21 of the cover 20. Then, after being evenly distributed between the air distribution mesh 22 and the top wall of the cover 20, it returns to the first space through the mesh on the air distribution mesh 22. Since the air distribution mesh 22 and the storage tank 50 are roughly vertically opposite each other, the cold air is driven by the circulating fan 30 to flow downward toward the storage tank 50. On the other hand, due to its higher density, the cold air will flow downward on its own and pass through the storage tank 50. During this process, the storage tank 50 exchanges heat fully with the cold air and then returns to the second space through the return air window 131 on the partition 13, forming a circulation.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the lid 20 is provided with a channel partition 23, which, together with part of the inner wall of the lid 20, forms a cold air inflow channel 21. When the box body 10 and the lid 20 are fastened together, the channel partition 23 and the partition 13 face each other and are sealed by a sealing strip. The cold air inflow channel 21 connects with the upper port of the second space, and air will not leak in the gap between the channel partition 23 and the partition 13.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, cold air is evenly distributed and guided to flow rapidly on the outer annular wall of storage tank 50. Guided by the air guide structure and altered by the air cutter, the cold air tends to flow towards storage tank 50, ensuring full contact with the curved surface of the lower half of storage tank 50. Finally, after heat exchange with storage tank 50, the cold air flows out through the gap at the bottom of storage tank 50.

[0037] This air-cooled material handling box uses an air-guiding structure set in the box body 10 and the box cover 20, in conjunction with a circulating fan 30 and a refrigeration evaporator 40, to make the air inside the box body 10 refrigerated and flow to form a low-temperature circulating airflow. The air-guiding structure guides the low-temperature circulating airflow through the storage tank 50, forcing the low-temperature circulating airflow to exchange heat with the storage tank 50, so that the material inside the storage tank 50 is kept at a low temperature, realizing the combination of a large closed container and low-temperature air-cooling technology.

[0038] The above content is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, many changes can be made in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of this technical content. As long as these changes do not depart from the concept of this utility model, they all fall within the protection scope of this patent.
