Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature control unit technology, and in particular to a TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffering. Background Technology

[0002] The TCU temperature control system, also known as the TCU temperature control unit, mainly consists of a heating module, a constant temperature module, and a cooling module. These modules respectively meet the temperature regulation requirements within the reaction vessel during pharmaceutical processing and production. This allows for accurate temperature control of processes such as sulfidation, nitration, hydrogenation, hydrocarbonation, polymerization, and condensation within the reaction vessel, enabling processes like refrigeration, heating, constant temperature, and evaporation. It is an indispensable component in biopharmaceutical and chemical production.

[0003] Existing TCU temperature control units are typically designed as fixed or easily movable structures, some equipped with casters for easy movement and adjustment between different locations. However, these existing designs have some limitations: while casters offer convenience when frequent movement is required, their rolling characteristics can easily cause displacement due to vibration or external disturbances once the unit reaches a stable operating state, affecting the safety of temperature control. Furthermore, the lack of effective shock absorption mechanisms makes the unit susceptible to mechanical vibration during operation, potentially leading to damage to internal components or temperature fluctuations. Therefore, a TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffering is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0005] In view of the problems of the above-mentioned TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffer, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a TCU temperature control unit with multi-level buffering, which is used to solve problems such as "the rolling characteristics of the universal wheels of existing temperature control units are prone to causing the equipment to shift under vibration or external interference, affecting the safety of temperature control, and lacking an effective shock absorption mechanism".

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a TCU temperature control unit with multi-level buffer, comprising: a main body, the main body including a temperature control unit box, a plurality of universal wheels symmetrically fixedly installed at the lower end of the temperature control unit box, and a plurality of grooves opened at the lower end of the temperature control unit box;

[0008] The lower end of the temperature control unit box is provided with a buffer support mechanism, which includes multiple hydraulic cylinders and multiple sets of buffer components. The hydraulic cylinders are fixedly installed in the groove, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed with a fixing plate. The buffer components are installed below the fixing plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffering described in this utility model, the buffer assembly includes multiple vertical rods fixedly disposed below a fixed plate, a limit plate fixedly connected to the lower end of each vertical rod, a connecting plate slidably sleeved on each vertical rod, a spring sleeved on each vertical rod, a horizontal plate fixedly connected between every two connecting plates, multiple dampers fixedly connected to the upper end of each horizontal plate, and a sliding groove opened at the lower end of the fixed plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffering described in this utility model, the buffer assembly further includes a slide rod fixedly disposed in a slide groove, two sliders are slidably sleeved on the slide rod, the lower end of each slider is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, the other end of each connecting rod is rotatably connected to a horizontal plate, and a second spring is sleeved on the slide rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffer described in this utility model, the two ends of the first spring are respectively fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting plate and the lower end of the fixing plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffer described in this utility model, both ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider, and each of the fixed plates is slidably connected in the groove.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the TCU temperature control unit with multi-level buffer described in this utility model, the lower end of the horizontal plate is fixedly connected to multiple support legs, and the lower end of each support leg is fixedly connected to a base plate.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the TCU temperature control unit with multi-stage buffer described in this utility model, the end of each damper facing away from the horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed plate.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the TCU temperature control unit with multi-level buffer described in this utility model, a touch screen is installed on the front side of the temperature control unit box, and an inspection door is installed on the right side of the temperature control unit box.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By symmetrically installing casters at the lower end of the temperature control unit box, the equipment can be easily moved when needed, avoiding the tedious manual handling; at the same time, the hydraulic cylinder drives the fixed plate to extend downward, allowing the support legs and base plate in the buffer support mechanism to touch the ground and lift the equipment, while the casters lift off the ground, providing stable support and preventing accidental displacement caused by vibration or external interference during operation, thus improving the safety of temperature control.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a TCU temperature control unit with multi-level buffer, which includes: a main body 100, the main body 100 including a temperature control unit box 101, a plurality of universal wheels 104 symmetrically fixedly installed at the lower end of the temperature control unit box 101, and a plurality of grooves opened at the lower end of the temperature control unit box 101.

[0030] The temperature control unit box 101 is equipped with a touch screen display 102 on the front side. The touch screen display 102 is electrically connected to the temperature controller inside the temperature control unit box 101 via an internal data cable. Users can input temperature setpoints, start / stop commands, etc. through the touch screen display 102 to issue commands to the temperature controller, thereby controlling the heating module, constant temperature module, and cooling module. The right side of the temperature control unit box 101 is equipped with a maintenance door panel 103. Temperature parameters are monitored in real time through the touch screen display 102, and the maintenance door panel 103 is used to quickly inspect the internal modules, improving operational efficiency.

[0031] Reference Figure 2The temperature control unit box 101 is provided with a buffer support mechanism 200 at the lower end. The buffer support mechanism 200 includes multiple hydraulic cylinders 201 and multiple sets of buffer components. The hydraulic cylinders 201 are fixedly installed in the groove. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinders 201 is fixedly installed with a fixing plate 202. The buffer components are installed below the fixing plate 202. The hydraulic cylinders 201 are introduced to dynamically adjust the height to ensure the stability of the equipment under different ground conditions.

[0032] In use, when the TCU temperature control unit needs to be moved, the user can directly push the temperature control unit box 101, causing the casters 104 to roll on the ground for easy transfer. For example, in a chemical workshop, this design avoids the hassle of manual lifting when moving from one workstation to another. Once positioned, the hydraulic cylinder 201 is activated, extending downwards to push the fixing plate 202 and the buffer assembly to the ground, while simultaneously lifting the temperature control unit box 101, causing the casters 104 to lift off the ground and provide sturdy support, preventing displacement of the equipment during operation. At the same time, the buffer assembly functions when the equipment vibrates; under high-frequency vibration, the buffer assembly effectively reduces shock, protecting the normal operation of the internal temperature control module.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on embodiment 1, the buffer assembly includes multiple vertical rods 203 fixedly disposed below the fixed plate 202. The lower end of each vertical rod 203 is fixedly connected to a limit plate. Each vertical rod 203 is slidably sleeved with a connecting plate 204. Each vertical rod 203 is sleeved with a spring 205. A horizontal plate 206 is fixedly connected between every two connecting plates 204. Multiple dampers 207 are fixedly connected to the upper end of each horizontal plate 206. A groove is provided at the lower end of the fixed plate 202. During operation, the internal parts of the equipment are easily damaged by mechanical vibration. Therefore, the sliding design of the vertical rods 203 and the connecting plates 204 enhances the flexibility of the buffer. The end of each damper 207 facing away from the horizontal plate 206 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed plate 202. The dampers 207 effectively attenuate vibration and ensure continuous and uninterrupted operation of the equipment.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 The buffer assembly also includes a slide rod 210 fixedly installed in the slide groove. Two sliders 212 are slidably sleeved on the slide rod 210. The lower end of each slider 212 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 213. The other end of each connecting rod 213 is rotatably connected to the horizontal plate 206. A second spring 211 is sleeved on the slide rod 210. The combination of the slide rod 210 and the sliders 212 further plays a buffering role and improves the overall shock absorption effect.

[0036] Among them, the two ends of the No. 1 spring 205 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting plate 204 and the lower end of the fixing plate 202, respectively. The No. 1 spring 205 quickly absorbs the impact through elastic recovery.

[0037] Both ends of the second spring 211 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider 212, and each fixed plate 202 is slidably connected in the groove. The second spring 211 quickly absorbs the impact through elastic recovery.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 The lower end of the horizontal plate 206 is fixedly connected to multiple support legs 208, and the lower end of each support leg 208 is fixedly connected to a base plate 209. The weight is evenly distributed between the support legs 208 and the base plate 209, avoiding ground damage caused by excessive pressure at a single point.

[0039] When the equipment vibrates during operation, the horizontal plate 206 presses upward against the first spring 205 and the damper 207. Simultaneously, the connecting rod 213 drives the slider 212 to slide along the slide bar 210, stretching the second spring 211, thus achieving multi-stage buffering and energy absorption. This mechanism effectively attenuates mechanical vibrations and protects the precision components inside the temperature control unit box 101. Meanwhile, the support legs 208 and the base plate 209 ensure stable ground contact, improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0040] It is important to note that the specific functions and operating principles of the TCU temperature control unit can be referenced from the Davos TCU temperature control system. The temperature control unit box 101 integrates a heating module (used to heat the medium inside the reactor, achieving temperature rise through an electric heater or hot oil circulation), a constant temperature module (maintaining the set temperature through a PID controller and temperature sensor), a cooling module (using cold water circulation or a refrigeration compressor to reduce the temperature), as well as a temperature sensor (installed at the reactor connection port, monitoring the medium temperature in real time and feeding it back to the temperature controller) and a temperature controller (integrated on the circuit board inside the box, receiving instructions from the touch display screen 102, and automatically adjusting each module to achieve functions such as cooling, heating, and constant temperature). These structures work together to meet the needs of pharmaceutical processing and production in the pharmaceutical industry.
