Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ship cooling technology, specifically to an assembled ship cooling system. Background Technology
[0002] Ship cooling systems are crucial for ensuring the stable operation of a ship's power system, auxiliary equipment, and electronic systems. Their core function is to effectively exchange heat and dissipate waste heat generated by the equipment into the external environment, preventing overheating and damage.
[0003] Patent publication number CN114228968B relates to the field of ship cooling technology, including an engine base frame, baffle rings, a crankshaft, an arc-shaped cover, and an engine cover heat dissipation assembly. Two baffle rings are fixedly connected to the engine base frame, and a crankshaft is rotatably connected to both baffle rings. An arc-shaped cover is fixedly installed on the top of the engine base frame, and the engine cover heat dissipation assembly is fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped cover. Through the design of an impeller, the rotation of the impeller draws seawater, which is then transported to a heat dissipation hose. The seawater in the heat dissipation hose exchanges heat with the engine base frame, achieving the purpose of cooling the top of the engine base frame.
[0004] The aforementioned patent uses an impeller that draws seawater to cool the top of the engine frame. When cooling by drawing seawater, a filter element is needed to remove impurities from the seawater to prevent blockage of pipes or water pumps. However, when the filter element needs to be replaced, the seawater drawing must be stopped, which will affect the cooling function of the water circulation and cause the temperature inside the power compartment to rise, making it impossible to maintain a stable cooling effect. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an assembled ship cooling system that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an assembled ship cooling system, including a mounting plate, the assembled ship cooling system comprising:

[0016] According to the above technical solution, the discharge device includes a connecting rod, a rack, a gear shaft, and a valve core. The valve core is disposed on the inner wall of the three-way pipe. The gear shaft rotates through the three-way pipe and is fixedly connected to the valve core. The connecting rod is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate near the valve core. The rack is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting rod near the gear shaft. The water path is switched from the pre-filtration device to the post-filtration device to avoid water flow interruption due to filter replacement. No manual operation of the valve is required. The device automatically maintains seawater circulation, ensures continuous heat dissipation of the blower, and prevents a sudden rise in the temperature of the power chamber.
[0017] According to the above technical solution, the discharge device further includes a pressure rod, a sliding block, a push rod, an arc-shaped sliding plate, a round rod, a sliding arc plate, a telescopic rod, and a ball valve.

A fixing groove is opened on the top of the limiting block. The limiting key contacts the inner wall of the fixing groove. When seawater is discharged, the water film remaining on the pipe wall will evaporate to form salt particles. Repeated discharge will repeatedly form salt particles, which will gradually accumulate and eventually block the drain hole. The seawater is collected in the storage tank and discharged all at once after a certain amount is reached. This reduces the number of cycles from pipe wall wetting to evaporation, thereby reducing the rate of salt particle formation and eliminating the need for frequent maintenance.
[0020] According to the above technical solution, the collection device further includes an L-shaped rod, a sliding rod, a gliding rod, and a pushing block.

A No. 6 spring is provided between the limit key and the sliding plate to facilitate the limit key's reset. A No. 7 spring is provided between the sliding plate and the water tank to facilitate the sliding plate's reset.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0023] 1. In this invention, when the filter element of the current filter device is replaced, the rear filter device will take over the operation of the front filter device. When the filter element of the current filter device needs to be replaced, the rear filter device can immediately take over the filtration work to ensure that the water pump continues to run, without affecting the water circulation and heat dissipation function of the blower, and avoid the temperature of the power chamber rising due to the shutdown for filter element replacement, thus maintaining a stable cooling effect.
[0024] 2. In this invention, the pusher will push the filter element to move away from the fixed frame, so that the filter element is separated from the fixed frame. The filter element is immersed in seawater for a long time, and the surface may be covered with biological dirt or become slippery. It is difficult and inefficient to remove it by hand. After pulling the locking button, the pusher will automatically push the filter element out of the fixed frame under the action of the first spring, without the need for manual pulling, making the operation more convenient and labor-saving.
[0025] 3. In this invention, the rotation of the valve core will change the water pumping pipe that was originally connected to the pre-filter to the post-filter, so that the seawater that needs to be filtered only flows through the post-filter. When the push rod moves to replace the filter element, the valve core rotates synchronously, switching the water path from the pre-filter to the post-filter, avoiding water flow interruption due to filter element replacement. No manual operation of the valve is required. The device automatically maintains seawater circulation, ensures continuous heat dissipation of the blower, and prevents the temperature of the power chamber from rising suddenly.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] Please see Figures 1-9 One embodiment of the present invention is: an assembled ship cooling system, including a mounting plate 1, the assembled ship cooling system comprising:
[0039] A blower 2, used to cool the heat source inside the ship's power room, is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 1.
[0040] The water suction pipe 4, used to allow seawater to flow over the surface of the blower 2, is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the blower 2.
[0041] The water pump 3, used to pump seawater into the water pipe 4, is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate 1 near the blower 2.
[0042] A filtration device for filtering seawater is installed on the inner wall of the pumping pipe 4.
[0043] A discharge device is installed on the outer wall of the pumping pipe 4 to discharge excess seawater inside the pumping pipe 4 when the filter is replaced.
[0044] A collection device for collecting discharged seawater is installed on the outer wall of blower 2.
[0045] The replacement device includes a fixed plate 5, a fixed frame 6, a sliding plate 7, a push rod 8, a connecting rod 9, and a filter element 13. The fixed plate 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the blower 2 near the water pump 3. The fixed frame 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed plate 5 near the water pump 3. The sliding plate 7 is slidably installed on the side of the fixed frame 6 near the water pump 3. The push rod 8 is slidably installed on the side of the fixed plate 5 near the sliding plate 7. One end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably installed on the side of the push rod 8 near the sliding plate 7, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably installed on the side of the sliding plate 7 near the push rod 8. The filter element 13 is located on the side of the fixed frame 6 near the sliding plate 7. The rear filter device can immediately take over the filtration work, ensuring the continuous operation of the water pump 3 without affecting the water circulation and heat dissipation function of the blower 2, avoiding the temperature rise of the power chamber due to the replacement of the filter element 13 during shutdown, and maintaining a stable cooling effect.
[0046] The replacement device also includes a push block 10, a locking key 11, and a sealing ring 12. The locking key 11 slides through the outer wall of the fixing frame 6. A groove is provided on the inner wall of the fixing frame 6. The push block 10 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the groove. A square groove is provided on the side of the push block 10 near the locking key 11. The shape of the locking key 11 matches the square groove. The sealing ring 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing frame 6 and is fixedly connected to the water pumping pipe 4. The sealing ring 12 includes a fixed outer plate and a sliding inner plate. The sliding inner plate is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 7. A slot is provided on the side of the filter element 13 near the sealing ring 12. The sliding inner plate contacts the inner wall of the slot. The filter element 13 is immersed in seawater for a long time, and its surface may be covered with biological dirt or become slippery. It is difficult and inefficient to remove it by hand. After pulling the locking key 11, the push block 10 automatically pushes the filter element 13 out of the fixing frame 6 under the action of the first spring, eliminating the need for manual pulling and making the operation more convenient and labor-saving.
[0047] A first spring is provided between the push block 10 and the fixed frame 6. The first spring is provided to drive the push block 10 to move towards the filter element 13. A second spring is provided between the key 11 and the fixed frame 6. The second spring is provided to drive the key 11 to move towards the push block 10. The push block 10 slides through the inner wall of the fixed frame 6. The water pipe 4 installed on the side of the fixed plate 5 near the water pump 3 is a three-way pipe. The filter device has two parts, namely a pre-filter and a post-filter.
[0048] In this embodiment, when cooling the heat source inside the ship's power room is required, the mounting plate 1 is installed on the wall inside the power room, with the blower 2 fixed on the surface of the mounting plate 1 facing the heat source. The blower 2 cools the heat source. When the temperature is too high, seawater is pumped into the pumping pipe 4 by the water pump 3, allowing the seawater to flow over the surface of the blower 2 for water circulation and auxiliary heat dissipation. This improves the efficiency of heat exchange, reduces the temperature of the heat source, and enhances the cooling effect of the blower 2. When the water pump 3 pumps seawater into the pumping pipe 4, the seawater needs to be filtered to prevent impurities in the seawater from jamming the pump 3. When filtering seawater for an extended period, the filter element 13 needs to be replaced. When the filter element 13 of the pre-filter needs to be replaced, the operator needs to push the push rod 8. Moving the push rod 8 towards the front filter device will cause the push rod 8 to move the connecting rod 9. The moving connecting rod 9 will then push the sliding plate 7 away from the filter element 13. The movement of the sliding plate 7 will cause the sliding inner plate of the sealing ring 12 to move away from the filter element 13, releasing the restriction on the filter element 13. At this point, the filter element 13 in the front filter device can be removed for replacement. When the push rod 8 moves towards the filter element 13 in the front filter device, it will cause the connecting rod 9 in the rear filter device to move. The movement of the connecting rod 9 in the rear filter device will pull the sliding plate 7 in the rear filter device towards the filter element 13. The movement of the sliding plate 7 will cause the sliding inner plate of the sealing ring 12 in the rear sealing device to move towards the filter element 13. The sliding inner plate will then contact the inner wall of the filter element 13, fixing the filter element 13 and strengthening the seal. When the filter element 13 in the front filter device is being replaced, the rear filter device will replace the front filter device. 3. When replacement is needed, the post-filter device can immediately take over the filtration work, ensuring the continuous operation of the water pump 3 and not affecting the water circulation and heat dissipation function of the blower 2. This avoids the temperature of the power chamber rising due to the replacement of the filter element 13 during shutdown, maintaining a stable cooling effect. When the filter element 13 needs to be removed for replacement, it is difficult to remove the filter element 13 from the fixing bracket 6 because the outer wall of the filter element 13 is too smooth. At this time, pull the locking key 11 to move away from the push block 10. The locking key 11 will release the limit of the push block 10. The push block 10 will be pushed by the first spring to move away from the fixing bracket 6. The push block 10 will push the filter element 13 to move away from the fixing bracket 6, so that the filter element 13 is separated from the fixing bracket 6. The filter element 13 has been immersed in seawater for a long time, and the surface may be covered with biological dirt or become slippery. It is difficult and inefficient to remove it by hand. After pulling the locking key 11, the push block 10 will automatically push the filter element 13 out of the fixing bracket 6 under the action of the first spring. There is no need for manual pulling, making the operation more convenient and labor-saving.
[0049] Please see Figures 1-9Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, the discharge device includes a connecting rod 21, a rack 22, a gear shaft 23, and a valve core 24.

The connecting rod 21 is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate near the valve core 24. The rack 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting rod 21 near the gear shaft 23. The water path is switched from the pre-filter device to the post-filter device to avoid water flow interruption due to the replacement of the filter element 13. No manual operation of the valve is required. The device automatically maintains seawater circulation, ensures continuous heat dissipation of the blower 2, and prevents the temperature of the power chamber from rising suddenly.
[0050] The discharge device also includes a pressure rod 25, a sliding block 26, a push rod 27, an arc-shaped sliding plate 28, a round rod 29, a sliding arc plate 291, a telescopic rod 292, and a ball valve 293. The pressure rod 25 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the gear shaft 23. The sliding block 26 is slidably installed on the side of the fixed plate 5 near the gear shaft 23. The arc-shaped sliding plate 28 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the suction pipe 4. One end of the push rod 27 is rotatably installed on the side of the sliding block 26 near the arc-shaped sliding plate 28, and the other end of the push rod 27 is rotatably installed on the side of the arc-shaped sliding plate 28 near the sliding block 26. The sliding arc plate 291 is slidably installed... On the outer wall of the pumping pipe 4, a round rod 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped sliding plate 28. The round rod 29 is fixedly connected to the sliding arc plate 291. A ball valve 293 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the pumping pipe 4.

The movable end of the telescopic rod 292 is rotatably connected to the sliding arc plate 291. When the filter element 13 is replaced, the ball valve 293 automatically opens to drain the residual seawater at the bottom of the pumping pipe 4, avoiding long-term deposition of microorganisms or scale, which could lead to pipe blockage or corrosion and affect the efficiency of subsequent water circulation.
[0051] The gear shaft 23 meshes with the rack 22. The side of the pressure rod 25 and the sliding block 26 that are close to each other is set as an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the pressure rod 25 and the sliding block 26 is to facilitate the pressure rod 25 to push the sliding block 26 towards the drain pipe.

The limiting key 38 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the sliding plate 37. The top of the limiting block 392 has a fixing groove, and the limiting key 38 contacts the inner wall of the fixing groove. When seawater is discharged, the water film remaining on the pipe wall will evaporate to form salt particles. Repeated discharge will repeatedly form salt particles, which will gradually accumulate and eventually block the drain hole. The seawater is collected in the water storage tank 31 and discharged all at once after a certain amount is reached. This reduces the number of cycles from pipe wall wetting to evaporation, thereby reducing the rate of salt particle formation and eliminating the need for frequent maintenance.
[0053] The collection device also includes an L-shaped rod 32, a sliding rod 33, a sliding rod 34, and a pushing block 35.

The No. 5 spring is provided to move the sliding key 36 towards the sliding plate 37. A No. 6 spring is provided between the limit key 38 and the sliding plate 37. The No. 6 spring is provided to reset the limit key 38. A No. 7 spring is provided between the sliding plate 37 and the water tank 31. The No. 7 spring is provided to reset the sliding plate 37.
[0055] In this embodiment, when the filter element 13 of the pre-filter is replaced, the push rod 8 moves towards the pre-filter. This movement of the push rod 8 causes the connecting rod 21 to move, which in turn causes the rack 22 to move. The rack 22 then rotates the gear shaft 23, which in turn rotates the valve core 24. This rotation of the valve core 24 changes the connection between the water pipe 4 (originally connected to the pre-filter) and the post-filter, ensuring that the seawater to be filtered only flows through the post-filter. When the push rod 8 moves to replace the filter element 13, the valve core 24 rotates synchronously, switching the water path from the pre-filter to the post-filter, preventing water flow interruption due to filter element 13 replacement. No manual valve operation is required; the device automatically maintains seawater circulation, ensuring continuous heat dissipation for the blower 2 and preventing a sudden temperature rise in the power chamber. The rotation of the gear shaft 23 causes the pressure rod 25 to move away from the pre-filter, thus releasing the pressure rod from the pre-filter. When the sliding block 26 is pushed, the fourth spring will drive the sliding block 26 to move back to its original position. When the sliding block 26 returns to its original position, it will release the push on the arc-shaped slide plate 28. The arc-shaped slide plate 28 will then be driven by the third spring to move back to its original position. The movement of the arc-shaped slide plate 28 will pull the round rod 29 to move. The movement of the round rod 29 will pull the sliding arc plate 291 to move. The movement of the sliding arc plate 291 will pull the telescopic rod 292 to move. The movement of the telescopic rod 292 will cause the ball valve 293 near the front filter to rotate. The rotation of the ball valve 293 will release the seal on the bottom of the water pumping pipe 4, so that when the filter element 13 in the front filter is replaced, the residual seawater inside the water pumping pipe 4 near the front filter will be drained, preventing the residual seawater from forming a large amount of sediment that will block the water pumping pipe 4. When the filter element 13 is replaced, the ball valve 293 will automatically open to drain the residual seawater at the bottom of the water pumping pipe 4, preventing the long-term accumulation of microorganisms or salt scale, which could lead to pipe blockage or corrosion and affect the efficiency of subsequent water circulation.
[0056] Seawater discharged from the pumping pipe 4 enters the storage tank 31 through the drain pipe for storage. As seawater accumulates inside the storage tank 31, it presses down the sliding plate 37, causing it to move downwards. This downward movement of the sliding plate 37 moves the limiting groove. When there is too much seawater inside the storage tank 31, the limiting groove coincides with the sliding key 36. The sliding key 36 is then moved into the limiting groove by the fifth spring, thus limiting the sliding plate 37. When the limiting groove coincides with the sliding key 36, the rotating plate 391 coincides with the drain hole. As the sliding key 36 moves into the limiting groove, it contacts the inclined surface of the limiting key 38, thus pushing the sliding key 36... When the limit key 38 moves away from the limit block 392, it releases the restriction on the rotating plate 391. The accumulated seawater then pushes the rotating plate 391 towards the drain hole, releasing the seal and allowing seawater to drain from the storage tank 31. By accumulating and then draining the seawater, the frequency of drainage is reduced. Frequent drainage causes the water film remaining on the pipe wall to evaporate, forming salt particles. Repeated drainage leads to repeated salt particle formation, which gradually accumulates and eventually blocks the drain hole. Collecting the seawater in the storage tank 31 and discharging it all at once after reaching a certain volume reduces the number of cycles from pipe wall wetting to evaporation, thus lowering salt levels. The particle formation speed is low, requiring minimal maintenance. When replacing the filter element 13 in the pre-filter, the sliding arc plate 291 in the pre-filter moves upward. This upward movement causes the sliding arc plate 291 in the post-filter to move downward, rotating the ball valve 293 in the post-filter to seal the water pipe 4. When the sliding key 36 is stopped by the sliding plate 37, replacing the filter element 13 on one side causes the sliding arc plate 291 on the other side to move downward. This downward movement pushes the L-shaped rod 32 downward, which in turn pushes the sliding rod 33 downward. The sliding rod 34 is disengaged from the inclined plane, pushing it to move away from the sliding rod 33. The movement of the sliding rod 34 causes the push block 35 to move, which in turn pushes the sliding key 36 away from the sliding plate 37. This releases the limit of the sliding key 36 on the sliding plate 37, allowing the sliding plate 37 to move back to its original position by the No. 7 spring. No separate operation is required to release the limit of the sliding plate 37. The limit of the sliding plate 37 can be released when the filter element 13 is replaced, allowing the sliding plate 37 to reset. With this design, the operator does not need to manually release the limit of the sliding plate 37, reducing human intervention and improving the convenience of equipment operation.
