Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0018] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0019] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a composite refrigeration system 1, including a refrigeration device 2, a liquid supply device 3, and a dehumidification device 4. The refrigeration device 2 includes a refrigeration main body 21 and a cooling component 22 connected to each other. The cooling component 22 supplies a cooling medium to the refrigeration main body 21. When the refrigeration main body 21 is installed in the first space 101, it cools the first space 101 using the cooling medium supplied by the cooling component 22. The liquid supply device 3 includes a liquid storage tank 31 and a pumping component 32, which is connected to both the liquid storage tank 31 and the cooling component 22. The liquid storage tank 31 contains liquid, and the pumping component 32 supplies the liquid in the liquid storage tank 31 to the cooling component 22. The dehumidification device 4 is connected to the liquid storage tank 31. When the dehumidification device 4 is installed in a second space 102 that is independent of the first space 101, it absorbs moisture from the air in the second space 102 and transports it to the liquid storage tank 31.

[0021] Thus, by adopting the above-mentioned composite refrigeration system 1, the dehumidifier 4 can absorb moisture from the air and then indirectly supply it to the refrigeration unit 2 through the liquid supply device 3. This is beneficial for making full use of the moisture absorbed by the dehumidifier 4, reducing the frequency of users adding liquid to the liquid storage tank 31, and making it more convenient to use.

[0022] It should be understood that the liquid supplied by the liquid supply device 3 to the cooling component 22 can be used to cool the cooling component 22, thereby achieving the purpose of pre-cooling the cooling medium supplied to the cooling component 22. Of course, the liquid supplied by the liquid supply device 3 to the cooling component 22 can also be used for other purposes, such as lowering the temperature of the environment surrounding the cooling component.

[0023] It should be noted that the first space 101 and the second space 102 mentioned above can be selected as needed, for example, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first space 101 and the second space 102 are two spaced and independent spaces; for example, as Figure 3 As shown, the first space 101 is independently located within the second space 102. The first space 101 can be a meeting room or office, while the second space 102 can be a workshop or factory, or other independent room. Furthermore, the location of the liquid storage tank 31 can be configured as needed, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the liquid storage tank 31 is located in the remaining spaces outside the first space 101 and the second space 102, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the liquid storage tank 31 is located in the second space 102.

[0024] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the cooling assembly 22 includes a first compressor 221 and a first condenser 222. One end of the first compressor 221 is connected to the input end of the first condenser 222, the output end of the first condenser 222 is connected to the input end of the cooling unit 21, and the output end of the cooling unit 21 is connected to the other end of the first compressor 221. Thus, the first compressor 221 compresses the cooling medium into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This high-temperature, high-pressure gas is then transported to the first condenser 222, where it is cooled and becomes a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid. This liquid is then transported to the cooling unit 21, where heat exchange occurs through the throttling element and evaporator, thereby cooling the first space 101 where the cooling unit 21 is located. In this embodiment, the cooling unit 21 is an indoor air conditioning unit.

[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cooling assembly 22 also includes a first fan 223, which is disposed on one side of the first condenser 222, with its outlet facing the first condenser 222. Thus, the air blown by the first fan 223 acts on the first condenser 222, removing heat from its surface and lowering the temperature of the cooling medium transported within the condenser, thereby improving cooling efficiency. In this embodiment, the first fan 223 is an axial fan.

[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pump-liquid assembly 32 includes a liquid pump 321 and a liquid spraying element 322. The liquid pump 321 is disposed inside the liquid storage tank 31 and connected to the liquid spraying element 322. The liquid spraying element 322 is disposed adjacent to the first condenser 222. The liquid pump 321 pumps the liquid in the liquid storage tank 31 to the liquid spraying element 322, and the liquid spraying element 322 sprays the liquid onto the first condenser 222. Thus, when the dehumidification device 4 draws moisture from the second space 102 into the liquid storage tank 31, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 31 is pumped to the liquid spraying element 322 by the liquid pump 321. The liquid spraying element 322 then sprays the liquid onto the surface of the first condenser 222 to reduce the temperature of the surface of the first condenser 222, thereby indirectly removing the heat of the cooling medium and improving the refrigeration efficiency.

[0027] Understandably, the spraying component 322 can be a nozzle for spraying liquids or other structures, depending on the specific needs.

[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the liquid spraying component 322 includes a vertical rod 3221 and a horizontal rod 3222 connected to each other. The vertical rod 3221 is connected to the liquid pump 321, and the horizontal rod 3222 has multiple spaced nozzles 32221, with the outlet direction of the multiple nozzles 32221 all facing the first condenser 222. The multiple nozzles 32221 spray liquid onto the first condenser 222, which is more conducive to reducing the surface temperature of the first condenser 222 and accelerating the removal of heat from the cooling medium. It should be understood that both the vertical rod 3221 and the horizontal rod 3222 are made of hollow rods and can be connected to the output end of the liquid pump 321 through pipes to realize the transportation of liquid in the liquid storage tank 31.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the dehumidification device 4 includes a housing 41, a second compressor 42, a second evaporator 43, a second condenser 44, and a second fan 45. The housing 41 is provided with a connected air inlet 411 and an air outlet 412. The second compressor 42, the second evaporator 43, the second condenser 44, and the second fan 45 are all disposed inside the housing 41. One end of the second compressor 42 is connected to one end of the second condenser 44, and the other end of the second condenser 44 is connected to one end of the second evaporator 43. The other end of the second evaporator 43 is connected to the other end of the second compressor 42. The second fan 45 is disposed on one side of the second condenser 44. The second fan 45 is used to dry the air entering from the air inlet 411 through the second evaporator 43 and the second condenser 44 and then send it out from the air outlet 412.

[0030] Understandably, when the dehumidifier 4 is working, humid air enters through the air inlet 411 under the action of the second fan 45. When the humid air passes through the second evaporator 43, the second evaporator 43 condenses the water vapor in the air into liquid and adsorbs it onto the aluminum fins. At this point, the humid air becomes dry air. After passing through the second condenser 44, the dry air is further heated due to the high surface temperature of the second condenser 44. After being heated by the second condenser 44, the dry air becomes dry air and is finally blown out from the air outlet 412 under the action of the second fan 45. This cycle repeats to dehumidify the air in the second space 102, thereby creating a dry environment.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, in the dehumidification device 4 of this application, the air inlet 411 and air outlet 412 of the housing 41 are no longer in the same direction, but are on adjacent sides of the housing 41. In this case, the second fan 45 is a centrifugal fan, and the air outlet of the centrifugal fan faces the air outlet 412, while the air inlet of the centrifugal fan faces the second condenser 44. Thus, since the centrifugal fan can change the direction of airflow, under the action of the centrifugal fan, the outside air is drawn into the housing 41 through the air inlet 411, and after being dried by the second evaporator 43 and the second condenser 44, it becomes dry air and is sent out of the housing 41 towards the air outlet 412.

[0032] Understandably, humid air condenses into liquid and adheres to the aluminum sheet when it passes through the second evaporator 43. If this liquid is not collected, it will drip randomly into the housing 41, which will make the area around the dehumidifier 4 relatively humid and affect the user experience.

[0033] To improve the above problems, such as Figure 6 As shown, the dehumidification device 4 also includes a liquid collection structure 46, which is located below the second evaporator 43 and is connected to the liquid storage tank 31. The liquid collection structure 46 is used to collect the liquid condensed on the second evaporator 43.

[0034] In some embodiments, the liquid collection structure 46 includes a connecting pipe 461 and a funnel 462. The funnel 462 is located below the second evaporator 43, and the open end of the funnel 462 faces the second evaporator 43. One end of the connecting pipe 461 is connected to the narrow end of the funnel 462, and the other end of the connecting pipe 461 is connected to the liquid storage tank 31. In this way, the liquid condensed on the surface of the second evaporator 43 can drip into the funnel 462 and be transported to the liquid storage tank 31 along the connecting pipe 461, which facilitates the recycling of the condensed liquid.

[0035] Of course, the liquid collection structure 46 can also be other structures. For example, the liquid collection structure 46 can be a water tank (not shown) connected to the liquid storage tank 31 through a pipe. The open end of the water tank faces the second evaporator 43. The liquid condensed on the surface of the second evaporator 43 drips into the water tank and can be transported to the liquid storage tank 31 through the pipe.

[0036] The composite refrigeration system 1 provided in this application embodiment includes a refrigeration device 2, a liquid supply device 3, and a dehumidification device 4. The refrigeration device 2 includes a refrigeration main body 21 and a cooling component 22 connected to each other. The cooling component 22 is used to supply a cooling medium to the refrigeration main body 21. When the refrigeration main body 21 is set in the first space 101, it is used to cool the first space 101 through the cooling medium supplied by the cooling component 22. The liquid supply device 3 includes a liquid storage tank 31 and a pumping component 32. The pumping component 32 is connected to the liquid storage tank 31 and the cooling component 22 respectively. The liquid storage tank 31 is used to contain liquid, and the pumping component 32 is used to supply the liquid in the liquid storage tank 31 to the cooling component 22. The dehumidification device 4 is connected to the liquid storage tank 31. When the dehumidification device 4 is set in a second space 102 that is relatively independent from the first space 101, it is used to absorb moisture from the air in the second space 102 and transport it to the liquid storage tank 31. In this way, the liquid obtained by the dehumidifier 4 after absorbing moisture from the air can be indirectly supplied to the refrigeration unit 2 through the liquid supply device 3. This is beneficial for making full use of the moisture absorbed by the dehumidifier 4, reducing the frequency of users adding liquid to the liquid storage tank 31, and making it more convenient to use.
