The working principle of the magnetic refrigeration system in the prior art is as follows: the application of a varying magnetic field to the magnetocaloric material causes a magnetocaloric effect, i.e. the magnetocaloric material releases heat outwards when the magnetic field generator applies a magnetic field to the regenerator (magnetizing) and releases cold outwards when the magnetic field generator removes a magnetic field from the regenerator (demagnetizing). The mode of the magnetic field generator for generating the changing magnetic field can be the changing magnetic field generated by an electromagnet, or the changing magnetic field generated by the movement of a permanent magnet and a cold accumulator.
Because the magnetic refrigeration system is influenced by the existing magnetic refrigeration material, the problem of high difficulty in building a large-temperature span exists, and the popularization and the application of the magnetic refrigeration system are greatly hindered. The present application addresses this problem that exists in magnetic refrigeration systems.

The first pump 1 adjusts the outlet communication direction by controlling a valve.
The control valve can be formed by a plurality of three-way valves, and can also be realized by adopting a single two-position four-way valve.
In the present application, each embodiment will be described by taking the first pump 1 as a bi-directional pump as an example.

The evaporative cooling system 6 further includes an air inlet 65 and an air outlet 66, with the first heat exchanger 2 disposed between the air inlet 65 and the air outlet 66.

The composite refrigeration system of the embodiment comprises three working modes, namely a magnetic refrigeration mode, an evaporative cooling refrigeration mode and a composite refrigeration mode. Three modes of cooling are described below.
(1) Magnetic refrigeration mode
The working principle of the magnetic refrigeration system in the composite refrigeration system is as follows:
Based on the magnetocaloric effect, when the magnetic field generator magnetizes the regenerator, the magnetocaloric material in the regenerator releases heat outwards, and when the magnetic field generator demagnetizes the regenerator, the magnetocaloric material in the regenerator releases cold outwards. The magnetic field generator of the magnetic refrigeration system in the application carries out the magnetizing action and the demagnetizing action on the first regenerator 3 and the second regenerator 5 according to a preset rule, and the action on the second regenerator 5 is demagnetizing when the magnetic field generator magnetizes the first regenerator 3, whereas the action on the second regenerator 5 is magnetizing when the magnetic field generator demagnetizes the first regenerator 3. Therefore, one half of the cold accumulator in the magnetic refrigeration loop is in a state of magnetism heating and the other half of the cold accumulator is in a state of magnetism removing and cooling at the same time, and the two states can be periodically switched, so that one period of magnetic refrigeration of the loop can be divided into two stages.
The first stage: the magnetic field generator demagnetizes the first regenerator 3 and simultaneously magnetizes the second regenerator 5. When the first regenerator 3 demagnetizes to generate cold energy, the heat exchange fluid flows along the directions of the first pump 1, the first heat exchanger 2, the first regenerator 3 and the second heat exchanger 4 under the action of the first pump 1, so that the heat exchange fluid can transfer the cold energy in the first regenerator 3 to the second heat exchanger 4, and then the heat exchange is carried out between the second heat exchanger 4 and the air in the refrigerating area so as to gradually reduce the temperature in the refrigerating area; at the same time, the second regenerator 5 is magnetized to generate heat, and the heat exchange fluid flows along the direction from the second regenerator 5 to the first pump 1 to the first heat exchanger 2 under the drive of the first pump 1, so that the heat exchange fluid can transfer the heat in the second regenerator 5 to the first heat exchanger 2 and then radiate the heat to a non-refrigeration area through the first heat exchanger 2.
And a second stage: the magnetic field generator magnetizes the first regenerator 3 and simultaneously demagnetizes the second regenerator 5. When the first regenerator 3 is magnetized to generate heat, the heat exchange fluid flows along the direction from the second heat exchanger 4 to the first regenerator 3 to the first heat exchanger 2 under the action of the first pump 1, so that the heat exchange fluid can transfer the heat in the first regenerator 3 to the first heat exchanger 2, and then the heat exchange is performed on the air in the non-refrigeration area through the first heat exchanger 2, so that the heat generated by the system can be dissipated to the non-refrigeration area; at the same time, the second regenerator 5 demagnetizes to generate cold, and the heat exchange fluid flows along the directions of the first pump 1, the second regenerator 5 and the second heat exchanger 4 under the drive of the first pump 1, so that the heat exchange fluid can transfer the cold in the second regenerator 5 to the second heat exchanger 4, and then the heat exchange is performed between the second heat exchanger 4 and the air in the refrigerating area, so that the temperature in the refrigerating area is gradually reduced.
(2) Evaporative cooling mode
When the evaporative cooling system 6 is started, the second pump 62 starts to operate, and lifts the water in the water tank 61 to the spraying device 63 above the first heat exchanger 2 through the pump pressure, the sprayed water is sprayed to the first heat exchanger 2 below through the spraying device 63, the sprayed water falls downwards under the action of gravity in the form of water mist or small water drops, contacts with the outer surface of the first heat exchanger 2 and is attached to the outer surface of the first heat exchanger 2, after the water drops attached to the outer surface of the first heat exchanger 2 evaporate, heat is absorbed from the outside due to phase change, so that the temperature of the first heat exchanger 2 is gradually reduced, and the real-time temperature of the heat exchange fluid inside the first heat exchanger 2 is reduced. In order to accelerate the evaporation rate of the water droplets on the surface of the first heat exchanger 2, a fan 64 is arranged above the first heat exchanger 2, which is started when the evaporative cooling system starts to operate. Under the action of the fan 64, air can enter from an air inlet 65 arranged below the evaporative cooling system, is discharged from an air outlet 66 of the fan 64 after passing through the first heat exchanger 2, improves the evaporation efficiency of the outer surface of the first heat exchanger 2 in a forced air flow mode, and further enables the temperature of heat exchange fluid in the first heat exchanger 2 to be reduced more quickly. At the same time, the first pump 1 is started, and the heat exchange fluid in the magnetic refrigeration system is driven to reciprocate through the pump pressure, so that the cold energy generated by evaporative cooling is transmitted to the second heat exchanger 4, and the refrigeration area is refrigerated.
Wherein the water tank 61 serves to provide a source of water for the second pump 62 and also to receive water dripping from the first heat exchanger 2 above it.
(3) Composite refrigeration mode
Firstly, an evaporative cooling system is started, after the evaporative cooling system starts to operate, the temperature of the first heat exchanger 2 starts to gradually decrease, and meanwhile, the first pump 1 is started to drive heat exchange fluid in the magnetic refrigeration system to reciprocate, so that the temperature of the heat exchange fluid can be reduced more quickly. When the temperature of the heat exchange fluid is reduced to a temperature suitable for the working of the magneto-caloric material of the magnetic refrigeration system, a magnetic field generator of the magnetic refrigeration system is started to magnetize and demagnetize the cold accumulator, the heat exchange fluid transmits cold generated by the magnetic refrigeration to the second heat exchanger 4 under the action of a pump to refrigerate a refrigeration area, and transmits heat generated by the magnetic refrigeration to the first heat exchanger 2 to carry away the heat through evaporative cooling, so that the pre-cooling of the magnetic refrigeration system by the evaporative cooling is realized, the magnetic refrigeration system can work at a proper working temperature of the magneto-caloric material of the magnetic refrigeration system, and the overall efficiency is optimal; meanwhile, when the evaporative cooling system and the magnetic refrigeration system are operated simultaneously, the temperature of the first heat exchanger 2 of the magnetic refrigeration system can be reduced by using the evaporative cooling system, so that the magnetic refrigeration system can obtain a lower cold end temperature.
In order to enable the compound system to meet the requirements of more efficient automatic temperature control and intelligent refrigeration, a plurality of sensors are arranged in the system and used as signal input sources of a control system. The temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the refrigerating area is arranged in the refrigerating area, the real-time temperature value of the refrigerating area detected by the temperature sensor is T1, the temperature sensor for detecting the real-time temperature of the heat exchange fluid is arranged in a heat exchange fluid pipeline of the magnetic refrigerating system, and the real-time temperature of the heat exchange fluid detected by the temperature sensor is T2. In addition, the system needs to set the target temperature T3 of the refrigerating area at the starting time and the working temperature range T4-T5 of the magnetocaloric materials used by the system is contained in the controller memory.
Referring to fig. 4 in combination, in another embodiment, which is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that in this embodiment, a first bypass line A1 is provided in parallel outside the first regenerator 3, and a first control valve S1 is provided on the first bypass line; a second bypass pipeline A2 is arranged outside the second cold accumulator 5 in parallel, and a second control valve S1 is arranged on the second bypass pipeline.
In this embodiment, when the system is in the natural cold source refrigeration mode, the controller controls the first control valve S1 to switch on the first bypass pipeline A1, and the second control valve S2 to switch on the second bypass pipeline A2, so that the refrigerant can pass through the first bypass pipeline A1 and the second bypass pipeline A2, thereby reducing the pressure resistance of the system and reducing the power consumption of the system.
Referring to fig. 5 in combination, according to an embodiment of the present application, the control method of the above-mentioned composite refrigeration system includes: acquiring a real-time temperature T1 of a refrigerating area; acquiring a target temperature T3 of a refrigerating area; judging the relation between the I T3-T1 and a; when the absolute value T3-T1 is more than a, controlling the composite refrigeration system to operate in a composite refrigeration mode; when the absolute value T3-T1 is less than or equal to a, controlling the composite refrigeration system to operate in a magnetic refrigeration mode or an evaporative cooling refrigeration mode.
The step of controlling the composite refrigeration system to operate in the composite refrigeration mode comprises the following steps: controlling the operation of the evaporative cooling system 6; acquiring the working temperature ranges T4-T5 of inlet magnetocaloric materials of the first regenerator 3 and the second regenerator 5 when the first regenerator is in a demagnetized state; acquiring a real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid in the first heat exchanger 2; detecting whether T2 meets T4 and T2 and T5; if T4 is not more than or equal to T2 and not more than or equal to T5, stopping or not starting the magnetic refrigeration system; detecting the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid at intervals of delta T2, and judging again until the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid meets the condition T4-T2-T5; if T4 is less than or equal to T2 and less than or equal to T5 is met, starting the magnetic refrigeration system or continuously operating the magnetic refrigeration system; and reading the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid at intervals of delta T3, and judging whether the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid meets the condition T4-T2-T5.

Then the control program judges the running mode, when the difference value |T3-T1| > a between the real-time temperature T1 of the refrigerating area and the target temperature T3 of the refrigerating area, the controller starts the compound refrigerating mode of the third mode, namely, the evaporative cooling system 6 is firstly operated, the heat exchange fluid in the magnetic refrigerating system is pre-cooled through the evaporative cooling system 6, meanwhile, the pump 1 is started, when the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid obtained by the controller does not meet the condition that T4 is less than or equal to T2 is less than or equal to T5, the magnetic refrigerating system is started or not started, the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid is detected once at intervals of Deltat 2, and judgment is carried out again until the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid meets the condition that T4 is less than or equal to T2 is less than or equal to T5. When the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid meets the condition T4 and T2 and T5, the magnetic refrigeration system is started and operated, and the evaporative cooling system 6 and the magnetic refrigeration module are operated simultaneously at the moment, so that overlapping of the two refrigeration systems is realized. In the process, the controller can read the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid at intervals of delta T3 and judge whether the real-time temperature T2 of the heat exchange fluid meets the condition T4-T2-T5.
After the compound cooling mode is initiated. And when the controller judges that the difference value |T3-T1| between the real-time temperature T1 of the refrigerating area and the target temperature T3 of the refrigerating area is less than or equal to a, starting a default running mode preset by a user. After that, the process is performed. The controller returns to the step of acquiring the real-time temperature T1 of the refrigerating area at intervals of delta T1, reads the temperature T1 of the refrigerating area, and judges the relation between the absolute value T3-T1 and the absolute value a again.
The default operation mode preset by the user refers to the current operation mode preset by the user at the terminal
A mode of default operation when |t3-t1| > a, which is one of an evaporative cooling mode and a magnetic cooling mode, and a user can make a selection setting according to actual conditions.
Specifically, it is determined which of the evaporative cooling mode and the magnetic cooling mode is selected based on the relationship between the real-time temperature T6 of the non-cooling region and the preset temperature b. In the process of selecting the control mode, the real-time temperature T6 of the non-refrigeration area needs to be acquired firstly; then judging the relation between T2 and the set temperature b; when T2 is less than or equal to b, controlling the composite refrigeration system to operate in an evaporative cooling refrigeration mode; when T2 is more than b, the composite refrigeration system is controlled to operate in a magnetic refrigeration mode, so that the composite refrigeration system selects a more proper working mode, the effective refrigeration capacity of the system can be ensured, and the energy consumption can be reduced as much as possible.
