[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a water tank replenishment device for a refrigeration system, including a support plate 1, a water tank body 2 fixedly installed at the front end of the support plate 1, a three-way pipe 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank body 2, a water pump 4 provided on the outside of the support plate 1, a water storage chamber 5 provided inside the water tank body 2, a float level gauge 6 fixedly installed inside the water storage chamber 5, a display screen 7 fixedly installed on the top of the float level gauge 6, an air inlet pipe 8 fixedly connected to the top of the water tank body 2, and a water inlet pipe 9 fixedly connected to the outside of the air inlet pipe 8 and located on the top of the water tank body 2.

[0023] The input end of the water pump 4 is fixedly connected to the input pipe 401, and the output end of the water pump 4 is fixedly connected to the output pipe 402. The end of the output pipe 402 away from the water pump 4 is fitted with a stabilizer 403. The stabilizer 403 is fixedly installed on the left side of the water tank body 2. The output pipe 402 is connected to the water inlet pipe 9 through the stabilizer 403. The support plate 1 serves as the basic support structure for the entire device, providing a stable installation position for the water tank body 2 and ensuring stable placement of the water tank. The water tank body 2 is used to store water, and its bottom T-shaped pipe 3 facilitates connection to the external heat exchange system pipeline, enabling automatic water delivery by gravity and reducing operating costs. The water pump 4, in conjunction with the input pipe 401 and the output pipe 402, can deliver water from the external water storage tank to the water tank body 2 to complete the water replenishment operation. The water storage chamber 5 is used to hold water, and the combination of the float level gauge 6 and the display screen 7 can monitor the water level in the water storage chamber in real time and display it intuitively on the display screen, making it easy for operators to understand the water level and replenish water in a timely manner. The air inlet pipe 8 and the water inlet pipe 9 respectively enable the air circulation between the inside of the water tank and the outside environment and the water input. The stabilizer 403 fixes and supports the output pipe 402, ensuring the stability of the water delivery process and preventing pipe shaking from affecting the water replenishment effect.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, support frames 101 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the front end of the support plate 1. The top of the support frame 101 has a mounting groove 102, and a support base 103 is provided on the top of the support frame 101. The support base 103 is fixedly connected to the support frame 101 by bolts passing through the mounting groove 102. The upper surface of the support base 103 is fixedly connected to the water pump 4. The support frame 101, mounting groove 102, support base 103, and bolts at the front end of the support plate 1 provide a stable installation method for the water pump 4.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a conical opening 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the air intake pipe 8, and an adjustment assembly is provided on the outside of the air intake pipe 8. The adjustment assembly includes a threaded groove 801, a sleeve 802, a filter pipe 803, a ventilation hole 804, and a conical block 805. The threaded groove 801 is opened on the outer surface of the air intake pipe 8.

[0026] The sleeve 802 is threaded to the outside of the threaded groove 801, the filter tube 803 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve 802, the conical block 805 is fixedly installed inside the sleeve 802, and the ventilation hole 804 is opened on the outside of the conical block 805. The conical opening 10 at the top of the air inlet pipe 8 cooperates with the adjustment component to control and filter the gas entering the water tank body 2. The threaded groove 801, sleeve 802, filter tube 803, ventilation hole 804, and conical block 805 in the adjustment component work together. The threaded connection between the threaded groove 801 and the sleeve 802 facilitates the adjustment of the sleeve position, thereby controlling the opening and closing degree of the conical block 805 and the conical opening 10 to adjust the air intake. The filter tube 803 can filter the gas entering the water tank body 2, preventing dust, impurities, etc. from entering the water tank body 2 and contaminating the water source, ensuring the cleanliness of the water in the water tank body 2, and improving the applicability and reliability of the water replenishment device.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet pipe 8, water inlet pipe 9, and T-connector 3 are connected to the water storage chamber 5, the output pipe 402 is connected to the water inlet pipe 9, and the end of the input pipe 401 furthest from the water pump 4 is connected to the external water storage tank. The air inlet pipe 8, water inlet pipe 9, and T-connector 3, connected to the water storage chamber 5, form a complete water and air system. The air inlet pipe 8 ensures pressure balance inside the water tank 2, the water inlet pipe 9 provides water replenishment, and the T-connector 3 facilitates water output or connection to other equipment. The output pipe 402 is connected to the water inlet pipe 9, and the input pipe 401 connects to the external water storage tank, forming a complete water replenishment channel. This ensures that water can be smoothly transported from the external water storage tank to the water storage chamber 5, guaranteeing a smooth water replenishment process, improving water replenishment efficiency, and meeting the water replenishment needs of the refrigeration system's water tank.

[0028] The conical block 805 is shaped to match the conical opening 10. The ventilation hole 804 is located inside the sleeve 802 and is connected to the filter pipe 803. The matching shape of the conical block 805 and the conical opening 10 allows for precise control of the opening and closing degree of the air inlet pipe 8, enabling precise adjustment of the air intake volume. The ventilation hole 804, located inside the sleeve 802 and connected to the filter pipe 803, ensures that the gas is filtered by the filter pipe 803 before entering the water tank, guaranteeing that the gas entering the water tank is clean and uncontaminated. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the conical block 805 and the conical opening 10, the gas flow rate is controlled, ensuring stable air pressure inside the water tank. This provides a good environmental condition for water replenishment and normal operation of the water tank, improving the overall performance of the device.

[0029] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0030] The operator first secures the support base 103 by bolting it through the mounting slot 102 at the top of the support frame 101, thus installing the water pump 4 on the outside of the support plate 1, and connecting the input pipe 401 to the external water storage tank. The water tank body 2 is fixed to the front end of the support plate 1, and its bottom T-shaped pipe 3 can be connected to the external heat exchange system piping as needed. When the water level in the water storage chamber 5 inside the water tank body 2 drops, the float level gauge 6 monitors it in real time and displays the water level data on the top display screen 7. If the water level is lower than the set value, the operator starts the water pump 4. The water pump draws water from the external water storage tank through the input pipe 401, and through the output pipe 402, supported and guided by the stabilizer 403, it replenishes water to the water storage chamber 5 through the inlet pipe 9. During the water replenishment process, the gas in the water tank is discharged through the air inlet pipe 8. The conical opening 10 at the top of the air inlet pipe 8 works with the adjustment component to control the air intake. The operator can rotate the sleeve 802 threaded to the outside of the threaded groove 801 to drive the internal conical block 805 to adjust the opening and closing degree of the conical opening 10. At the same time, the gas enters the filter pipe 803 through the ventilation hole 804 on the outside of the conical block 805 and then enters the water tank after filtration, maintaining the air pressure balance in the water tank and ensuring that the water replenishment operation is carried out smoothly.
