Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cooling technology, specifically relating to a spray cooling device for laser weapons. Background Technology

[0002] Laser weapons are weapons that use high-energy lasers to accurately fire at distant targets or defend against missiles. They are divided into tactical laser weapons and strategic laser weapons. They possess excellent characteristics such as speed, flexibility, precision, and resistance to electromagnetic interference, and can play a unique role in optoelectronic warfare, air defense, and strategic defense.

[0003] Laser weapons generate a lot of waste heat during operation, requiring an efficient cooling system to maintain beam quality and system stability. If cooling is not done in time, it may affect beam quality and system stability. Therefore, a spray cooling device for laser weapons is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a spray cooling device for laser weapons, which aims to solve the problem that laser weapons generate a lot of waste heat during operation, requiring an efficient cooling system to maintain beam quality and system stability. If cooling is not done in time, it may affect beam quality and system stability.

[0005] This invention provides a spray cooling device for laser weapons, comprising a laser head and a water pump. A housing covers the laser head, and a collecting shell is fixedly connected to the lower part of the housing. One side of the water pump is fixedly connected to a connecting channel, and a connecting cylinder is installed on the side of the water pump near the connecting channel. The collecting shell is connected to the connecting cylinder via a first channel, and the water pump is connected to a chiller via a second channel. The chiller is connected to a water delivery channel, and the other side of the water delivery channel is connected to the housing and extends into the housing. A collecting cavity is reserved in the housing, and the water delivery channel communicates with the collecting cavity. Multiple nozzles facing the laser head are installed on the wall of the collecting cavity, and a connecting ring is fixedly installed inside the connecting cylinder.

[0006] A purification unit, installed inside the fixed cylinder, is used to screen out contaminants in the cooling water.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, through the installation of a purification unit, large-volume pollutants in the cooling water are screened out and collected, thereby achieving the effect of removing pollutants from the cooling water, which is beneficial for operators to handle, reduces the harm of pollutants, and can extend the service life of the structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the purification unit includes a purification shell and a screening section. The purification shell is installed inside the fixed cylinder. The side wall of the purification shell has multiple connecting cavities. A screen is fixedly connected inside the connecting cavities. A limiting cavity is reserved on one side of the purification shell. A sliding shell is fixedly connected inside the limiting cavity. A collecting frame is slidably installed inside the sliding shell. A sliding cavity is reserved on one side of the inner wall of the sliding shell.

[0009] The screening section is installed inside the fixed ring and is used to screen out contaminants in the cooling water.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, through the installation of the purification shell, the cooling water can be moved to the inside of the fixed cylinder through multiple connecting cavities after it has been moved to the inside of the purification shell. In this way, the pollutants can be screened out by the first screen, and the pollutants are blocked inside the purification shell by the first screen. After the water pump stops running, the pollutants inside the purification shell can be moved from the inner wall of the purification shell to the inside of the collection frame by the sedimentation of the body. Then the operator can pull the collection frame, and the collection frame can be moved and separated from the inside of the sliding shell through the sliding cavity. The operator can then handle the pollutants in the collection frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the screening unit includes a water storage shell, which is assembled and installed inside the fixing ring. A second screen can be embedded inside the water storage shell, a third screen can be embedded inside the water storage shell, and a fourth screen can be embedded inside the water storage shell.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, through the installation of screens two, three, and four, contaminants in the cooling water are sequentially screened out. This ensures that the cooling water moving into the pump has fewer contaminants, preventing contaminants from mixing into the cooling water and avoiding obstruction of cooling water cooling and the formation of difficult-to-treat scale during the pump's cooling process. By installing a water storage tank, with one open radial span being larger than the other open radial span, the screening by screens two, three, and four cannot obstruct the water movement and cause interruptions during the pump's traction of the cooling water in the fixed cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, one side of the connecting channel is reserved with multiple assembly ports, one side of the fastening ring is fixed with multiple fasteners, the fasteners are installed through the assembly ports, and the periphery of the fasteners is threaded with threaded sleeves.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator inserts the fastener into the threaded sleeve by installing the fastener, and then uses a tool to tightly connect the threaded sleeve and the fastener, thereby allowing the connecting sleeve to be fixed to one side of the connecting channel. By separating the threaded sleeve, the operator can separate the purification unit when it is not in use, thereby ensuring the flexible use capability of the purification unit.

[0015] Furthermore, a conveying cylinder can be fitted inside the fixed ring, a limiting cavity is reserved on the circumference of the conveying cylinder, a washer can be fitted inside the limiting cavity, and the side of the conveying cylinder farther from the fixed ring extends into the connecting channel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a conveying cylinder is installed, which connects the fixed cylinder and the connecting channel. This allows the pump to better draw the cooling water inside the fixed cylinder. A gasket is used to seal the gap between the connecting channel and the conveying cylinder, ensuring that the cooling water cannot leak out.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting platform is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, and an assembly platform is fixed to the upper wall of the limiting platform. An interlocking cavity is reserved on one side of the assembly platform, and one side of the purification shell is slidably interlocked with the inner wall of the interlocking cavity.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, through the installation of the constraint cavity, the operator can insert the purification shell into the fixed cylinder through the constraint cavity. In this way, the operator drives the purification shell to insert one side of the purification shell into the assembly table, thereby ensuring the stability of the purification shell inside the fixed cylinder. Through the installation of the limiting platform, the purification shell is supported inside the fixed cylinder, thereby improving the stability and ensuring that there is no loosening.

[0019] Furthermore, a constraint cavity is reserved on the side of the fixed cylinder farther from the pump, and the other side of the purification shell is embedded and connected to the inside of the constraint cavity. A sealing ring is installed on the side of the fixed cylinder farther from the pump, and the sealing ring is installed on one side of the fixed cylinder via a buckle and a locking block.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, and by installing the sealing ring, the operator can easily remove the purification shell from the inside of the fixed cylinder by assembling and separating the sealing ring through the cooperation of the buckles and blocks, thereby allowing the operator to clean the large-volume pollutants inside the purification shell.

[0021] Furthermore, a sealing cavity is reserved on the side of the fixed cylinder farther from the pump, and a second washer is movably installed inside the sealing cavity, with one side of the second washer and one side of the sealing ring in contact with each other.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, and by installing the second washer, there is no gap between the sealing ring and the constraint cavity during the assembly of the sealing ring, thereby ensuring that the cooling water inside the fixed cylinder cannot leak out, thus ensuring the sealing performance of the purification unit during assembly and operation.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0024] The laser head is covered by a casing. Cooling water sprays from the nozzle to cool the laser head. The sprayed cooling water falls into the collection shell, then passes through the fixed cylinder and water pump for processing. After that, it is sent to the chiller for cooling. Then it moves from the water supply channel back into the casing for recycling, ensuring the use of resources and the stable operation of the laser head.

[0025] By installing a purification unit, large-volume contaminants in the cooling water are screened out and collected, thereby achieving the effect of removing contaminants from the cooling water, which is beneficial for operators to handle, reduces the harm of contaminants, and can extend the service life of the structure.

[0026] By installing screens two, three, and four, contaminants in the cooling water are sequentially screened out. This ensures that the cooling water flowing into the pump has fewer contaminants, preventing contaminants from mixing into the cooling water and avoiding obstruction of cooling water cooling and the formation of difficult-to-treat scale during the cooling process in the pump. By installing a water tank, with the radial span of one open side being larger than that of the other open side, the pump prevents the flow of cooling water from being obstructed during the screening process of screens two, three, and four, thus preventing interruption of the process.

[0027] The limiting platform provides support inside the fixed cylinder, resulting in superior stability and preventing any loosening. By installing the sealing ring, operators can easily remove the purification shell from the fixed cylinder through the combination of clips and blocks, allowing them to clean large contaminants inside the purification shell.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-9This invention provides a spray cooling device for laser weapons, comprising a laser head 11 and a water pump 12. A housing 111 covers the laser head 11, and a collecting shell 112 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the housing 111. One side of the water pump 12 is fixedly connected to a connecting channel 13, and a connecting cylinder 14 is installed on the side of the water pump 12 near the connecting channel 13. The collecting shell 112 is connected to the connecting cylinder 14 via a first channel, and the water pump 12 is connected to a chiller 114 via a second channel. The chiller 114 is connected to a water delivery channel 113, and the other side of the water delivery channel 113 is connected to the housing 111 and extends into the housing. Inside the housing 111, a collection cavity 115 is reserved. The water supply channel 113 is connected to the collection cavity 115. Multiple nozzles 116 facing the laser head 11 are installed on the wall of the collection cavity 115. The laser head 11 is covered by the housing 111. At this time, cooling water will spray from the nozzles 116 to cool the laser head 11. The sprayed cooling water will fall into the collection housing 112, then pass through the fixed cylinder 14 and the water pump 12 for processing, and then be sent to the chiller 114 for cooling. After that, it will be moved from the water supply channel 113 back to the housing 111 for recycling.

[0042] A fixing ring 15 is fixedly installed inside the fixing cylinder 14. A purification unit is installed inside the fixing cylinder 14 to screen out contaminants in the cooling water and purify the cooling water. The purification unit includes a purification shell 16, which is installed inside the fixing cylinder 14. Multiple connecting cavities 17 are reserved on the side wall of the purification shell 16. A screen 18 is fixedly connected inside the connecting cavity 17. A limiting cavity 19 is reserved on one side of the purification shell 16. A sliding shell 20 is fixedly connected inside the limiting cavity 19. A collection frame 21 is slidably installed inside the sliding shell 20. A sliding cavity 22 is reserved on one side of the inner wall of the sliding shell 20. A screening section is installed inside the fixing ring 15 to screen out contaminants in the cooling water.

[0043] The inner wall of the fixed cylinder 14 is fixed to the limiting platform 33, and the upper wall of the limiting platform 33 is fixed to the assembly platform 34. One side of the assembly platform 34 is reserved with an interlocking cavity 35. One side of the purification shell 16 is slidably interlocked with the inner wall of the interlocking cavity 35. The side of the fixed cylinder 14 further away from the pump 12 is reserved with a constraint cavity 36. The other side of the purification shell 16 is interlocked with the inside of the constraint cavity 36. A sealing ring 37 is installed on the side of the fixed cylinder 14 further away from the pump 12. By assembling and separating the sealing ring 37 through the cooperation of the buckles and blocks, the operator can easily remove the purification shell 16 from the inside of the fixed cylinder 14, thereby allowing the operator to clean the large-volume pollutants inside the purification shell 16. The sealing ring 37 is installed on one side of the fixed cylinder 14 via a snap fastener and a locking block. The snap fastener is installed on the sealing ring 37, and the locking block is installed in the area of ​​the fixed cylinder 14 that matches the snap fastener. A sealing cavity 38 is reserved on the side of the fixed cylinder 14 further away from the pump 12. A second gasket 39 is movably installed inside the sealing cavity 38. One side of the second gasket 39 is in contact with one side of the sealing ring 37. By installing the second gasket 39, there is no gap between the sealing ring 37 and the restraint cavity 36 during the installation of the sealing ring 37, thereby ensuring that the cooling water inside the fixed cylinder 14 cannot leak out, thus ensuring the sealing performance during the assembly and operation of the purification unit.

[0044] The screening section includes a water storage shell 23, which can be assembled and installed inside the fixing ring 15. A second screen 24, a third screen 25, and a fourth screen 26 can be embedded inside the water storage shell 23. By installing screens 24, 25, and 26, with the mesh size of screens 24, 25, and 26 increasing sequentially, contaminants in the cooling water are screened out sequentially through screens 24, 25, and 26. This ensures that the cooling water moving into the pump 12 has fewer contaminants, preventing contaminants from entering the cooling water and avoiding obstruction of cooling water cooling and the formation of difficult-to-treat scale during the cooling process in the pump 12. By installing a water storage tank 23, and by ensuring that the radial span of one open portion of the water storage tank 23 is greater than the radial span of the other open portion, the pump 12 prevents the water movement from being obstructed and interrupted during the screening process of the screens 24, 35, and 46 while it is drawing cooling water into the fixed cylinder 14.

[0045] One side of the connecting channel 13 has multiple assembly ports 27 reserved, and one side of the fastening ring 15 is fixed with multiple fasteners 28. The fasteners 28 and the assembly ports 27 are installed through the fasteners. The peripheral surface of the fasteners 28 is threaded with a threaded sleeve 29. The conveying cylinder 30 can be fitted inside the fastening ring 15. The peripheral surface of the conveying cylinder 30 has a limiting cavity 31 reserved. The limiting cavity 31 can be fitted with a washer 32. The side of the conveying cylinder 30 further away from the fastening ring 15 extends into the connecting channel 13. Through the assembly and separation characteristics of the threaded sleeve 29, the operator can separate the purification unit when it is not in use, thereby ensuring the flexibility of the purification unit.

[0046] The specific implementation method is as follows: During use, by installing fasteners 28, the operator inserts fasteners 28 into the threaded sleeve 29 and uses tools to tightly connect the threaded sleeve 29 and fasteners 28, thereby fixing the connecting cylinder 14 to one side of the connecting channel 13. By separating the threaded sleeve 29, the operator can separate the purification unit when it is not in use, thereby ensuring the flexible use capability of the purification unit. By installing the purification shell 16, after the cooling water moves into the purification shell 16, it can move into the connecting cylinder 14 through multiple connecting chambers 17. In this way, the contaminants in the cooling water can be screened out by the screen 18, thereby blocking the contaminants inside the purification shell 16. By installing the pump 12, after the pump 12 is no longer running, the contaminants inside the purification shell 16 can be moved from the inner wall of the purification shell 16 to the collection frame 21 due to the sedimentation of the body. Inside, the operator can pull the collection frame 21, which is then displaced and separated from the inside of the sliding shell 20 via the sliding cavity 22. The operator can then remove contaminants from the collection frame 21. By installing screens 24, 25, and 26, contaminants in the cooling water are sequentially screened out, thereby ensuring that the cooling water moving into the pump 12 has fewer contaminants and is free from contaminants. This prevents the pump 12 from hindering the cooling of the cooling water and forming scale that is difficult to remove. By installing a water storage shell 23, the radial span of one open side of the water storage shell 23 is greater than that of the other open side, preventing the pump 12 from obstructing the water movement and causing interruptions when pulling the cooling water in the fixed cylinder 14.

[0047] By installing the sealing ring 37, the operator can easily remove the purification shell 16 from the fixed cylinder 14 by assembling and disassembling the sealing ring 37 through the cooperation of the buckles and blocks. This allows the operator to clean the large contaminants inside the purification shell 16. By installing the restraint cavity 36, the operator can insert the purification shell 16 into the fixed cylinder 14 through the restraint cavity 36. In this way, the operator drives the purification shell 16 to insert one side of the purification shell 16 into the assembly table 34, thereby ensuring the purification shell... The stability of the purification shell 16 inside the fixed cylinder 14 is achieved through the installation of the limiting platform 33, which provides support for the purification shell 16 inside the fixed cylinder 14, thus ensuring superior stability and preventing any loosening. The installation of the second washer 39 ensures that there is no gap between the sealing ring 37 and the restraint cavity 36 during the assembly of the sealing ring 37, thereby preventing the cooling water inside the fixed cylinder 14 from leaking out and ensuring the sealing performance of the purification unit during assembly and operation.
