Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a protective component for a heat exchange filler module of an evaporative cooling air conditioning device. Background Art

[0002] Evaporative cooling air conditioner is an air conditioning device based on the principle of water evaporation cooling heat exchange. When air flows through the water film, the enthalpy and humidity difference between the water film surface and the flowing air will cause water to diffuse from the water film surface into the air, that is, evaporation occurs. In this process, water vapor absorbs a large amount of latent heat energy, thereby reducing the temperature of air and water. The filler in the evaporative cooling air conditioner is the main place for water vapor to exchange heat.

[0003] The filler of evaporative cooling air conditioner, also known as wet curtain, is the core component of this type of air conditioner, and its performance directly affects the operation effect of the air conditioner. The physical properties of the filler, such as thickness, specific surface area and material, are closely related to the evaporative cooling efficiency and other application performance of the unit. The ideal filler should have the following characteristics: large specific surface area and strong water absorption capacity; corrosion resistance, not easy to breed bacteria; good wet stiffness, long-term contact with water will not collapse or deform; good flame retardancy, electrical failure is not easy to cause fire; environmentally friendly, non-toxic and harmless. At present, the commonly used fillers are mainly paper curtains and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) curtains. Paper curtains have the advantages of large specific surface area, strong water absorption capacity, easy production and low cost, but they have defects such as short life, poor antibacterial and mildew resistance, insufficient flame retardancy, and certain health and safety hazards. PVC curtains are easy to produce, low cost, and have the advantages of flame retardancy and mildew resistance, but their water absorption and cooling efficiency are relatively poor.

[0004] In order to overcome the above defects of paper curtains and PVC curtains, the inventors used porous ceramics as an alternative material and further processed them into porous ceramic fillers. The porous ceramic surface is densely distributed with macroporous structures. It not only has strong water absorption, but also has the advantages of flame retardancy, mildew resistance, and long life due to its inorganic properties. Porous ceramic fillers combine the advantages of paper fiber and PVC and are the best choice for heat exchange fillers in evaporative cooling air conditioning units.

[0005] The inventors have been constantly exploring the industrialization path of porous ceramic fillers, assembling scattered porous ceramic sheets into modules through a fixed frame, and applied for a number of patents, such as "a through-type porous ceramic wet curtain" (patent number: CN104197445B), "a stacked porous ceramic wet curtain" (patent number: CN 204084701 U), "a belt-type porous ceramic filler" (patent number: CN201921413554.9), "an integral porous ceramic filler" (patent number: ZL202110737499.4) and "a self-connected porous ceramic filler" (patent number: ZL 202320084070.4).

[0006] Although the application of porous ceramic sheets in evaporative cooling air conditioners has excellent performance such as high cooling efficiency, long life, flame retardancy, acid and alkali resistance, its disadvantages of low strength and fragility cannot be ignored. Summary of the invention

[0007] The invention provides a porous ceramic filler protection component, which is used to improve the problem that porous ceramic sheets in the porous ceramic filler are fragile.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] A porous ceramic filler protection component, comprising:

[0010] Two narrow edge protection frames, the two narrow edge protection frames are arranged opposite to each other at a set distance;

[0011] A plurality of narrow edge corner protection strips are connected between the two narrow edge protection frames, and a plurality of short clips are arranged at intervals on the narrow edge corner protection strips.

[0012] The porous ceramic filler protection component as described above, further, the narrow edge protection frame includes a protection sheet and a frame narrow edge strip arranged along the side of the protection sheet, and connecting buckles are provided at both ends of the narrow edge corner protection strip, and the connecting buckles are used to buckle on the frame narrow edge strip.

[0015] The porous ceramic filler protection component as described above, further, the narrow edge protection frame and the narrow edge corner protection strip are made of a material that takes both hardness and toughness into consideration.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The protective component of the present invention uses a relatively high-strength material to protect the edges and outer sides of the porous ceramic filler, effectively preventing it from being damaged by external force collision; the clamps on the inner side of the narrow-edge corner strip can prevent the ceramic pieces from shaking and shifting, causing collision and damage, and at the same time, narrow edges and hollow strips and pieces are used instead of large-area brackets to more effectively protect the corners and edges of the filler that are easily damaged.

[0018] 2. The protective component of the present invention provides installation positioning for the dispersed porous ceramic pieces, greatly improving the installation and production efficiency of the product; and the protective component is installed on the edge and outside of the porous ceramic filler, making the whole neat and flat, which is more conducive to the installation and stacking of the product.

[0019] 3. Change the previous protection method of large-area brackets and replace them with narrow edges and hollow strips and sheets, which greatly reduces the material cost of raw materials for protective components. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] An embodiment of the present invention provides a porous ceramic filler protection component, which includes:

[0032] Two narrow edge protection frames, the two narrow edge protection frames are arranged opposite to each other at a set distance; Figure 4 The effect diagram of the porous ceramic filler protection component implemented on the porous ceramic filler is used as an example for explanation. The porous ceramic filler is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the porous ceramic filler contains multiple porous ceramic sheets.

The metal strip serves as the above-mentioned connecting piece. The metal strip passes through the groove openings of the regularly arranged porous ceramic sheets and is sealed with an adhesive. It can be seen that the porous ceramic filler protection component provided by the embodiment of the present invention provides installation positioning for the dispersed porous ceramic sheets, greatly improving the installation and production efficiency of the product; and the protection component is installed on the edge and outside of the porous ceramic filler, so that the porous ceramic filler is neat and flat as a whole, which is more conducive to the installation and stacking of the product.
