Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of evaporative coolers, in particular to a descaling device for evaporative coolers. Background Art

[0002] The main feature of the evaporative cooler is to use the evaporation of the water film outside the tube to enhance the heat transfer outside the tube. By spraying cold water on the surface of the heat exchange tube, a continuous and uniform water film is formed on the surface of the heat exchange tube. At the same time, air is sucked into the equipment inside the box. The air passes through the heat exchange tube to accelerate the evaporation of the water film on the surface of the heat exchange tube. The evaporation of the water film on the surface of the heat exchange tube absorbs a large amount of heat in the heat exchange tube, so that the heat of the fluid in the heat exchange tube is transferred to the air outside the heat exchange tube through the water film, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling. With the continuous use of the cooler, scale is easily formed on the surface of the heat exchange tube bundle. If it cannot be cleaned in time, the efficiency of heat transfer will be affected. The existing method of cleaning the scale on the surface of the heat exchange tube is to scrape it manually with a scraper or to clean it with a chemical cleaning agent. It is time-consuming and laborious to scrape the scale on the surface of the heat exchange tube manually with a scraper, and the cooler needs to be suspended when scraping the scale, which reduces the working efficiency. When using a chemical cleaning agent for cleaning, if the chemical cleaning agent is used improperly, it will corrode the heat exchange tube, and the wastewater generated after cleaning will pollute the environment. Therefore, we designed a descaling device for an evaporative cooler. Utility Model Content

The utility model has a simple structure and an ingenious design. The driving device drives the annular scraper 5 to move to remove the scale on the surface of the heat exchange coil 2, and there is no need for manual scraping, which saves time and effort, and the scraping does not affect the operation of the cooler, thereby improving the work efficiency, and will not cause environmental pollution and corrosion to the heat exchange coil 2. It can meet market demand and is suitable for promotion. When the utility model is used, the suction fan 9 is started, and the suction fan 9 sucks air into the box body 1 through the air inlet 7, and sprays cold water on the surfaces of the heat exchange coils 2 through the spray device. The water on the surface of the heat exchange coils 2 is accelerated to evaporate under the flow of air, and the heat of the fluid inside the heat exchange coils 2 is taken away, so that the fluid inside the heat exchange coils 2 is cooled, and the heat exchange is completed. The air with heat is discharged from the box body 1 through the air outlet 8, and the water dropped at the bottom of the box body 1 is discharged from the box body 1 through the drain outlet 6; when scale is generated on the surface of the heat exchange coils 2, the mounting plate 3 is driven to move back and forth left and right by the driving device, and the reciprocating movement of the mounting plate 3 drives the annular scraper 5 installed on the mounting plate 3 to move back and forth left and right. The reciprocating movement of the annular scraper 5 to the left and right cleans the scale on the surface of the heat exchange coils 2, and the cleaned scale falls on the bottom of the box body 1. When the mounting plate 3 moves left and right, the scale dropped on the bottom of the box body 1 can be pushed to the drain outlets 6 on the left and right sides, and discharged from the box body 1 through the drain outlet 6.

[0017] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the driving device described in this embodiment includes a reciprocating screw 20, two reciprocating screws 20 are provided and are rotatably installed in the housing 1 through bearings, two threaded through holes 21 are opened on the mounting plate 3 corresponding to the reciprocating screw 20, and the reciprocating screw 20 is threadedly installed with the corresponding threaded through holes 21, one end of the reciprocating screw 20 extends out of the housing 1 and is fixedly installed with a coaxial gear 22, the reciprocating screw 20 passes through the reserved hole on the housing 1, and is rotatably installed in the corresponding reserved hole through bearings, the two gears 22 are connected by an odd number of transmission gears 23, in this embodiment, the number of transmission gears 23 is three, and the transmission gears 23 are rotatably installed on the housing 1 through coaxial bearings, one of the gears 22 is fixedly installed with a coaxial motor 24, and the motor 24 is fixedly installed on the housing 1 through several connecting rods. Start the motor 24, and the output shaft of the motor 24 rotates to drive the gear 22 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. The gear 22 drives another gear 22 to rotate synchronously through several transmission gears 23. The gear 22 drives the two reciprocating screws 20 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the mounting plate 3 and the annular scraper 5 on the mounting plate 3 to move left and right.

[0018] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the annular scraper 5 described in this embodiment is respectively divided into several completely identical arc-shaped scrapers. In this embodiment, one annular scraper 5 is equally divided into four completely identical arc-shaped scrapers. The outer peripheries of the arc-shaped scrapers are respectively fixedly installed with slide rods 30, and the inner peripheries of the through holes 4 are respectively provided with several slide grooves 31 corresponding to the slide rods 30. The slide rods 30 are slidably installed in the corresponding slide grooves 31. The arc-shaped scrapers are respectively connected to the inner peripheries of the corresponding through holes 4 through springs 32. The springs 32 are respectively mounted on the outer peripheries of the corresponding slide rods 30, one end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the corresponding arc-shaped scraper, and the other end of the spring 32 is fixedly connected to the inner periphery of the corresponding through hole 4. When the annular scraper 5 moves left and right to scrape off the scale on the periphery of the heat exchange coil 2, if it encounters firm scale that is difficult to remove, the arc-shaped scraper moves in the direction away from the axis of the through hole 4 under the push of the scale. The movement of the arc-shaped scraper drives the slide rod 30 to slide outward along the corresponding slide groove 31, and the corresponding spring 32 is compressed. The firm scale is removed by the reciprocating scraping of the annular scraper 5; the annular scraper 5 is flexibly connected to the corresponding through hole 4 to prevent the firm scale from damaging the annular scraper 5 or the annular scraper 5 from damaging the heat exchange coil 2 when scraping off the firm scale.

Water is supplied to the water pipe 40 through the water inlet pipe, and the water in the water pipe 40 is sprayed toward the periphery of the heat exchange coil 2 through the nozzle 41.

[0020] Further, as shown in the figure, the inner peripheries of the air inlet 7 and the air outlet 8 in this embodiment are respectively fixed with filter screens 50. The filter screens 50 can block impurities in the outside air and prevent them from entering the box 1 and being deposited on the outer periphery of the heat exchange coil 2, thereby preventing the heat exchange effect of the heat exchange coil 2 from being affected.

[0021] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the bent pipe part of the heat exchange coil 2 in this embodiment is cleaned by spraying a chemical cleaning agent.
