[0002] In the design process of automobiles or other mechanical devices, model making is the process of transforming two-dimensional sketches into three-dimensional forms. A model provides a three-dimensional product form, and high-quality simulation models are indispensable to meet design or review requirements. Model prototypes are typically made of materials such as polyurethane, aluminum, acrylic, ABS, and solid wood. Cooling methods during the manufacturing process include air cooling. Due to the processing characteristics of the materials, the machining environment inside machine tools is constantly exposed to high-density dust. The space available for accommodating an air cooling system within the machining platform of a typical five-axis machining center is relatively small, making it inconvenient to install traditional, large-volume air cooling systems. Furthermore, continuous operation in a dusty environment for extended periods can easily lead to motor malfunctions due to dust inhalation. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of the present application more complete and clear, and to fully convey the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Furthermore, for any single technical feature described or implied in the embodiments mentioned herein, or any single technical feature shown or implied in the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will readily conceive of appropriate combinations or deletions among these technical features (or their equivalents), thereby obtaining more other embodiments of this application that may not be directly mentioned herein, which do not depart from the technical concept of this application.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an air-cooled system according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Exploded view of the air-cooled system. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 This is an exploded view of the air-cooled system from another angle. It can be seen that the air-cooled system mainly includes an air supply assembly 100 and a support assembly 200. The air supply assembly 100 mainly includes a blower 110 and a dustproof assembly 120 installed at the air inlet 1111 of the blower 110. The dustproof assembly 120 includes components along the axial direction (i.e.,...). Figure 2The air supply assembly 120 consists of a connecting ring 122, a filter screen 123, and a guide ring 121 arranged sequentially away from the air inlet 1111 in a left-right direction. The edge of the filter screen 123 is sandwiched between the opposing axial end faces of the connecting ring 122 and the guide ring 121. The mesh density of the filter screen 123 is between 20 mesh and 1500 mesh, for example, 150 mesh. The filter screen 123 can be made of stainless steel or other materials that can be made into a mesh structure. The dustproof assembly 120 filters the air entering the air-cooling system, and the filtered air then enters the blower 110, thereby reducing dust blockage of the blower 110's air duct or other structures, reducing the failure rate of the blower 110, and enabling the blower 110 to work stably for a longer period of time in dusty environments without frequent maintenance. The air supply assembly 100 is rotatably connected to the bracket assembly 200, thereby being placed in the processing environment where dust may be present via the bracket assembly 200, and can rotate at multiple angles such as up, down, left, and right to achieve air supply to different specific areas and improve the air-cooling effect. The air-cooling system of this application has a compact structure and strong adaptability.

[0031] The following will illustrate further specific implementations or refinements and improvements to the air-cooled system through exemplary descriptions, in order to further improve its efficiency, reliability, or for other improvement considerations.

[0032] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A 3D view of the blower 110 in the image. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of the blower 110, which can be, for example, an air amplifier. This blower 110 can output a large volume of high-speed, low-pressure airflow using a small amount of compressed air. For example... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown (where the arrows indicate the airflow direction), the blower 110 includes a blower body 111. The blower body 111 is constructed with an air inlet 1111, an air outlet 1112, and an air supply port 1113 located at the top. The airflow exiting from the air outlet 1112 also brings in more surrounding air. Finally, the ratio of the air volume exiting the air outlet 1112 (the air volume entering through the air inlet 1111 + the compressed air supplied by the air supply port 1113 + the air brought in) to the air volume entering through the air inlet 1111 can exceed 100:1, resulting in a larger air volume and therefore a better cooling effect.

[0033] Figure 6 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the dustproof component 120, wherein the guide ring 121 and the connecting ring 122 can be connected to the air inlet 1111 of the blower 110 via bolts (e.g., M6 bolts). Figure 7 yes Figure 6The cross-sectional view of the guide ring 121 shows that the opening area of ​​the guide ring 121 decreases axially from the end opposite to the air inlet 1111 (left end in the figure) to the end facing the air inlet 1111 (right end in the figure) to provide a guiding function. For example, the inner side of the guide ring 121 is a tapered surface that gradually tapers axially from the end opposite to the air inlet 1111 to the end facing the air inlet 1111. Figure 7 In the axial section of the guide ring 121 shown, the angle α between the generatrix of the conical surface and the horizontal direction is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, preferably between 30 and 35 degrees, for example, approximately 32.6 degrees. This conical surface design on the inner side of the guide ring 121 straightens the gas to the filter screen 123 and then to the air inlet 1111, increasing the intake velocity and increasing the intake volume. In other alternative embodiments, the inner side of the guide ring 121 can also be designed in other guiding forms, such as guide grooves along the airflow direction.

[0034] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, the guide ring 121 includes a radially outward first outer edge portion 1211 and a radially inward first inner edge portion 1212, the first outer edge portion 1211 and the first inner edge portion 1212 being configured as a stepped structure on the side facing the connecting ring 122. Figure 8 As shown, the connecting ring 122 includes a radially outward second outer edge portion 1221 and a radially inward second inner edge portion 1222. The second outer edge portion 1221 and the second inner edge portion 1222 are configured into a mating stepped structure matching the stepped structure on the side facing the guide ring 121. The edge of the filter screen 123 can be sandwiched between the first inner edge portion 1212 and the second inner edge portion 1222. Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the first inner edge 1212 of the guide ring 121 protrudes axially, and the second inner edge 1222 of the connecting ring 122 is recessed axially. In other embodiments, the first inner edge 1212 of the guide ring 121 may be recessed axially, and the second inner edge 1222 of the connecting ring 122 may protrude axially. Furthermore, threaded holes may be formed on the first outer edge 1211 and the second outer edge 1221 for axial threaded connection.

[0035] Figure 9 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a perspective view of the support assembly 200, which mainly includes a support 210 and a base 220 supporting the support 210. (Combined with...) Figure 4 As can be seen, the blower 110 includes a mounting flange 1114 extending radially outward from the side wall of the blower body 111. Two mounting portions 1114a are radially symmetrically arranged on the mounting flange 1114, for example, they are provided with threaded connection holes. Figure 9The bracket 210 is configured to be recessed (e.g., downwardly recessed) away from the blower 110, and two mounting portions 1114a are connected to the ends of the bracket 210 so that the blower 110 is connected to the bracket 210 and a portion of the blower 110 is accommodated in the recessed space of the bracket 210 body. The shape of this recess can be semi-annular or other suitable shapes, such as... Figure 10 The image shown is a perspective view of a bracket 210 according to one embodiment of the present application. The bracket 210 has a recessed shape that is an open rectangle. The bracket 210 includes a first sub-bracket 211 and a second sub-bracket 212. The first sub-bracket 211 includes a first crossbar 2111 and two first extension rods 2112 extending from both ends of the first crossbar 2111 toward the blower 110. The second sub-bracket 212 includes a second crossbar 2121 and two second extension rods 2122 extending from both ends of the second crossbar 2121 toward the blower 110. The first sub-support 211 is smaller than the second sub-support 212 and is nested inside the second sub-support 212. The ends of the two first extension rods 2112 are fixedly connected to the two mounting portions 1114a, for example, through axial threaded holes 2113 in the axial direction on the two first extension rods 2112 and bolts passing through them. They are also rotatably connected to the ends of the two second extension rods 2122, for example, through radial threaded holes (not shown) in the radial direction on the ends of the two first extension rods 2112 and the two second extension rods 2122 and radial bolts 2123 passing through them. Thus, the two sub-supports 210 can rotate relative to each other, allowing the blower 110 fixedly connected to the first sub-support 211 to pitch, thereby adjusting the air supply direction. In an optional embodiment, the support 210 may also include only one sub-support 210 fixedly connected to the mounting portion 1114a of the blower 110, thereby simplifying the overall structure.

[0036] For example Figure 9 As shown, the base 220 includes a base 221 and a vertically extending upright 222 from the center of the base 221. The upright 222 is configured to be vertically retractable, for example, locked via a locking ring 2221 after height adjustment. The base 221 can be bolted to the base surface to improve system stability. A bracket 210 (specifically a second sub-bracket 212) is connected via a connector 230 to the end of the upright 222 opposite to the base 221. Figure 11A perspective view of the connector 230 is shown. The connector 230 includes a ball-head bolt 231 with a spherical head. The stud of the ball-head bolt 231 is connected to a threaded hole in the center of the bottom surface of the bracket 210 and is fastened by a locking nut 232 sleeved on the outer periphery of the stud. The spherical head of the bolt is engaged in a ball socket (not shown) at the end of the upright 222 and is rotatable relative to the ball socket. This allows the bracket 210 to be adjusted in multiple directions relative to the upright 222, including up, down, left, and right. Consequently, the blower 110 can be rotated accordingly to adjust the air supply direction and achieve multi-directional air supply cooling.

[0037] In this arrangement, the air-cooling system according to this application filters the air entering the blower, reduces the blockage caused by dust and other particles in the environment, improves the service life of blower components, and reduces maintenance operations; and by setting up the support assembly, the blower can be flexibly placed in the environment and the air delivery angle can be adjusted, thus improving the air-cooling effect of the air-cooling system.

[0038] The above examples primarily illustrate the air-cooling system of this application. Although only some embodiments of this application have been described, those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented in many other forms without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, the examples and embodiments shown are considered illustrative rather than restrictive, and this application may cover various modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this application.
