As shown in fig. 1-2, a temperature field zoning control system for a deep low temperature environment comprises an operation zone and a zone to be operated, wherein heat insulation layers 2 are respectively arranged at the outer sides of the operation zone and the zone to be operated; the operation area is a cavity with an opening at the top, the top of the operation area is provided with a heating area 9, the thickness of the heating area 9 is 1/4 of the height of the operation area, two side surfaces of the operation area are provided with a plurality of through holes 10, the center of the bottom surface of the operation area is provided with a bottom liquid nitrogen tank 5, the periphery of the bottom surface of the operation area is provided with side surrounding liquid nitrogen tanks 6, the tops of the bottom liquid nitrogen tank 5 and the side surrounding liquid nitrogen tanks 6 are both provided with operation area liquid nitrogen spray pipes 4 in a penetrating manner, and the bottoms of the bottom liquid nitrogen tanks 5 and the side surrounding liquid nitrogen tanks 6 are both connected with a liquid nitrogen collecting return pipe 3; the to-be-operated area is a closed cavity, the top of the to-be-operated area is penetrated by a liquid nitrogen spray pipe 1 of the to-be-operated area, and the bottom of the to-be-operated area is provided with a switchable sample inlet 8; bottom liquid nitrogen tank 5 is open-top structure, the side encircles liquid nitrogen tank 6 and adopts split type structure in the corner, and is split type the side encircles through the liquid nitrogen union coupling between the liquid nitrogen tank, the side encircles the top of liquid nitrogen tank 6 and is equipped with the apron, the side that the side encircles liquid nitrogen tank 6 is in towards be equipped with a plurality of waist shape holes on the central direction in operation district, the height in waist shape hole does the side encircles 1/2-3/4 around the height of liquid nitrogen tank 6, operation district liquid nitrogen spray tube 4 wears to locate bottom liquid nitrogen tank 5 reaches the part that the liquid nitrogen tank 6 was surrounded to the side is equipped with decurrent liquid nitrogen orifice, treat that operation district liquid nitrogen spray tube 1 wears to locate treat that the inside part in operation district is equipped with decurrent liquid nitrogen orifice, treat that the height of operation district spray tube 1 is for treat that the height in operation district is 0.95 times the height in operation district.
The operation area and the area to be operated are separated by a heat insulation wall and are connected through a communication port 7, the height of the communication port 7 is 1/4 of the height of the operation area, the area of the communication port 7 is 1/5 of the bottom area of the operation area, the height of the through hole 10 is 0.3 times of the height of the operation area, and the sample inlet 8 is provided with a sliding type cover plate which is preferably made of a heat insulation material.
When the device is used, firstly, liquid nitrogen is sprayed to the area to be operated in the heat-insulating layer 2 through the liquid nitrogen spray pipe 1 of the area to be operated, the space of the area to be operated can be integrally cooled in the process that cold air sinks from the top, and the uniform distribution of temperature can be realized after a period of time; meanwhile, the liquid nitrogen spray pipe 4 of the operation area sprays liquid nitrogen into the liquid nitrogen tank 5 at the bottom and the side surrounding liquid nitrogen tank 6, cold air overflows outwards through the top of the liquid nitrogen tank 5 at the bottom and the waist-shaped hole of the side surrounding liquid nitrogen tank 6, the cold air of the operation area flows to the operation area through the communication port 7, and the cold air naturally sinks and is intensively distributed at the bottom of the operation area due to small air convection of the operation area, so that the temperature of the space below the waist-shaped hole of the side surrounding liquid nitrogen tank 6 is extremely low; the space above the waist-shaped hole is only subjected to the action of heat radiation and heat conduction, so that the heat transfer efficiency is low, the cooling effect is weakened, the micro-positive pressure environment is kept in the cavity due to the vaporization of the liquid nitrogen, and partial cold air overflows from the through holes 10 on the left side and the right side of the cavity outwards, so that the heat transfer to the upper space is further reduced; the top of the working area is a heating area 9 and is provided with heating elements, which are at a higher temperature and transfer heat to the lower space. The surplus liquid nitrogen flows back to the liquid nitrogen container through the liquid nitrogen collecting return pipe 3.
