Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air coolers, and more particularly to an adaptive air cooler and its adjustment method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional air coolers consist of reciprocating cooling tubes with fins, and a fan at the top or bottom of the tubes to generate flowing gas. The medium flows inside the cooling tubes, while the gas flowing outside completes the air cooling of the medium.

[0003] Traditional air coolers require the medium to flow back and forth within cooling pipes to achieve air cooling, resulting in low efficiency and limited capacity when the medium flow rate is large. Similarly, the amount of gas produced by the fan is constant, and its cooling capacity is limited when the medium temperature changes.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide an adaptive air cooler and its adjustment method, thereby solving the problems in the prior art where the medium needs to flow back and forth in the cooling pipe to complete air cooling, the processing capacity is limited when the medium inflow is large, and the air cooling capacity is limited when the gas volume generated by the fan is constant and the medium temperature changes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: An adaptive air cooler; It includes: a cooling cylinder, an expanding cylinder for the inflow of medium, a receiving cylinder for the outflow of medium, a moving pipe arranged in parallel within the cooling cylinder, a flow-blocking mechanism arranged in parallel on the moving pipe, and a moving mechanism arranged on the cooling cylinder; wherein, the moving pipe is connected to the expanding cylinder and the receiving cylinder respectively; the moving mechanism drives the moving pipe to move and adjusts the spacing between the moving pipes; gas flows into the cooling cylinder and is temporarily stored in the flow-blocking mechanism, and the gas flows along the moving pipe and is discharged.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the expanding cylinder includes: a first cylinder body, expanding members superimposed on the first cylinder body, and a bottom recess formed at the bottom of the first cylinder body; wherein, the moving pipe inlet is distributed and connected to the bottom recess; along the medium flow direction, the number of overlapping expanding members gradually increases.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the cooling cylinder includes: a cladding plate, a connecting pipe, a second cylinder, spiral channels formed at the upper and lower ends of the second cylinder, and cylinder plates movably disposed at the upper and lower ends of the second cylinder; wherein, the cylinder plates movably shield the spiral channels, and the spiral channels respectively connect the inlet and outlet of the second cylinder; the cladding plate surrounds the moving pipe and is connected between the cylinder plates; the connecting pipe respectively connects the bottom recess and the moving pipe.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the movable tube includes: a connector, a vertically arranged tube body, a ball head movably disposed on the tube body, and a tube lug connected to the tube body; wherein the ball head movably communicates with the connecting tube; and the tube lugs of adjacent tube bodies are stacked on the connector.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the flow-blocking mechanism includes: a guide plate arranged around the moving tube and a partition connected to the moving tube; wherein the guide plate is fixedly or oscillatingly arranged on the partition.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the moving mechanism includes: a moving frame arranged along the moving direction of the moving tube, a screw rotatably arranged on the moving frame, a guide rod arranged on the moving frame, a moving block slidably arranged side by side on the guide rod, a rotating component rotatably arranged on the moving block, and a screw barrel arranged on the outer side of the moving block; wherein, the moving frame is arranged inside the cooling cylinder; the moving block is connected to the moving tube; adjacent rotating components are rotatably connected to each other; the screw barrel is threadedly connected to the screw; the rotation of the screw drives the moving blocks to move closer or further apart.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the collecting cylinder includes: an inner cylinder connected to the moving tube, an outer channel spirally surrounding the inner cylinder, and a fan installed at the inlet of the outer channel; wherein, the outlet of the outer channel is connected to the cooling cylinder.

[0013] An adaptive adjustment method for an air cooler includes the following steps: Diffusion steps: Detect medium flow rate and medium temperature; The medium enters the first cylinder and diffuses into the expansion component, then collects at the bottom recess; Adjustment steps: Adjust the spacing between the moving tubes according to the medium temperature data; the screw rotation drives the moving block to move along the guide rod, and the moving block drives the tube body to move and diffuse. Air cooling process: According to the medium flow data, the medium in the bottom recess enters each pipe body through the connecting pipe, and the medium flows from top to bottom; the fan generates gas and enters the second cylinder through the outer channel, and the gas flows from bottom to top; the gas flows along the outside of the pipe body, and the guide plate collects the gas and acts on the pipe body; the gas is discharged from the second cylinder through the spiral channel; the medium flows into the inner cylinder for collection.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the air cooling process also includes a pre-air cooling process and a post-air cooling process; Pre-cooling process: Gas is discharged from the second cylinder through the spiral channel and flows along the first cylinder to complete the heat exchange of the medium near the expansion component; Post-cooling process: The medium flows into the inner cylinder for collection, and the gas flows along the outer channel to complete the heat exchange of the medium inside the inner cylinder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The medium flows into the expansion cylinder. According to the flow rate of the medium, the medium enters the corresponding moving pipes and flows from top to bottom, and then flows into the collection cylinder for recycling; the gas flows into the lower end of the collection cylinder and flows from bottom to top into the cooling cylinder. The gas and the medium exchange heat and complete the air cooling heat dissipation of the medium; the moving mechanism drives the moving pipe at the corresponding position to move, and the moving pipe at the corresponding position drives the remaining moving pipe to move, thereby adjusting the spacing of the moving pipes to adapt to the temperature change of the medium; the gas flows into the cooling cylinder, and the flow-blocking mechanism collects the gas near the moving pipe. The gas is temporarily stored in the flow-blocking mechanism and flows slowly through the flow-blocking mechanism; the heat of the medium is transferred to the flow-blocking mechanism and the moving pipe. The gas and the flow-blocking mechanism and the moving pipe come into contact, improving the air cooling efficiency.

[0016] (2) The bottom recess is a downward concave shape, so that the inlet of the moving tube is distributed and connected at different heights of the bottom recess; when different amounts of medium accumulate in the bottom recess, the medium flows out from different moving tubes, realizing adaptive adjustment for different amounts of medium; through the setting and distribution of the first cylinder, the medium can flow into different moving tubes according to different amounts of medium, ensuring air cooling efficiency.

[0017] (3) The gas enters the spiral channel below through the receiving cylinder. The gas flows spirally in the spiral channel and enters the second cylinder. The gas rises slowly in the second cylinder, prolonging the air cooling time. When the moving tube expands and contracts, the shielding plate always contacts the moving tube, restricting the flow range of the gas. The moving cylinder plate shields the spiral channel, corresponding to the change in the flow range of the gas.

[0018] (4) The end of the medium flow on the slow-flow protrusion and slow-flow depression transitions to the slow-flow plate, so that the medium decelerates after contacting the slow-flow protrusion and slow-flow depression and flows smoothly to the slow-flow plate to continue flowing; This application extends the medium flow path by using the slow-flow plate, and slowly rises through the spiral flow of the gas, prolonging the contact time between the gas and the moving pipe, and collecting the gas through the guide plate to increase the amount of air-cooled gas, thereby improving the air-cooling effect of the medium; This application reuses the discharged gas, and the gas and medium exchange heat in the expansion cylinder to complete the air-cooling; The utilization of the discharged gas allows the gas and medium to exchange heat in the inner cylinder to complete the air-cooling; Through a total of three air-cooling processes, the air-cooling effect of the medium in this application is ultimately guaranteed.

[0019] (5) When the tubes move and retract, the guide plates on the adjacent tubes swing and retract, shortening the distance between the tubes. The guide plate on the current tube abuts against the adjacent tube, ensuring that the tubes have a certain distance to facilitate gas flow. When the swinging guide plate swings outward, it can increase the contact range of the gas and improve the air cooling efficiency to cope with the temperature change of the medium. The swinging of the guide plate is completed automatically with the movement of the tubes, completing the adaptive adjustment to the temperature change of the medium. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0030] First embodiment: Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the adaptive air cooler according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses an adaptive air cooler comprising: a cooling cylinder 1, an expanding cylinder 2 for the inflow of medium, a receiving cylinder 3 for the outflow of medium, a moving pipe 4 arranged in parallel within the cooling cylinder 1, a flow-blocking mechanism 5 arranged in parallel on the moving pipe 4, and a moving mechanism 6 arranged on the cooling cylinder 1.

[0031] The cooling cylinder 2 is installed at the upper end of the cooling cylinder 1, extending outwards from top to bottom. The converging cylinder 3 is installed at the lower end of the cooling cylinder 1, gradually narrowing from top to bottom. The upper end of the moving pipe 4 is connected to the expanding cylinder 2, and the lower end of the moving pipe 4 is connected to the converging cylinder 3. Medium flows into the upper end of the expanding cylinder 2, and according to the flow rate, the medium enters the corresponding moving pipe 4 and flows downwards before flowing back into the converging cylinder 3 for recycling. Gas flows into the lower end of the converging cylinder 3, and the gas enters the cooling cylinder 1 and flows upwards, where heat exchange occurs between the gas and the medium, completing the air-cooling heat dissipation of the medium.

[0032] The moving mechanism 6 is located at the corner of the cooling cylinder 1, and the corresponding moving pipe 4 is connected to the moving end of the moving mechanism 6. The moving mechanism 6 drives the corresponding moving pipe 4 to move, and the corresponding moving pipe 4 drives the remaining moving pipes 4 to move, thereby adjusting the spacing of the moving pipes 4 to adapt to changes in the temperature of the medium. The larger the spacing between adjacent moving pipes 4, the greater the amount of gas passing through the cooling cylinder 1. The smaller the spacing between adjacent moving pipes 4, the smaller the amount of gas passing through the cooling cylinder 1.

[0033] Gas flows into cooling cylinder 1. The flow-blocking mechanism 5 collects gas near the moving pipe 4, temporarily storing the gas within it and allowing it to flow slowly through. Heat from the medium is transferred to the flow-blocking mechanism 5 and the moving pipe 4, bringing the gas into contact with them and improving air cooling efficiency. After flowing along the moving pipe 4, the gas is discharged from the top of cooling cylinder 1.

[0034] Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A magnified structural diagram at point A. (Combined with...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the expansion cylinder 2 includes: a first cylinder 21, an expansion member 22 superimposed within the first cylinder 21, and a bottom recess 23 formed at the bottom of the first cylinder 21. For example, the first cylinder 21 is a square pyramid shape. The upper end of the first cylinder 21 is connected to a medium source via a pipe.

[0035] For example, the expansion member 22 is conical. Adjacent expansion members 22 are connected by welding. An expansion plate 211 is provided inside the first cylinder 21, and the expansion members 22 are stacked on the expansion plate 211. The stacking of the expansion members 22 adapts to the shape of the first cylinder 21. Along the direction of medium flow, the number of stacked expansion members 22 gradually increases, so that the medium flows to the bottom of the first cylinder 21 in a dispersed state. The medium contacts the inner surface of the first cylinder 21 and flows downward along the inner surface of the first cylinder 21, and the medium accumulates in the bottom recess 23. The gas discharged from the cooling cylinder 1 flows upward along the outer surface of the first cylinder 21, completing the air cooling of the medium.

[0036] The concave bottom 23 has a downward-sloping shape, allowing the inlet of the moving pipe 4 to be distributed and connected at different heights within the concave bottom 23. When the amount of medium in the concave bottom 23 is large, the medium flows into the moving pipes 4 at both the higher and lower distribution levels. When the amount of medium in the concave bottom 23 is small, the medium flows into the moving pipes 4 at both the higher and lower distribution levels. When different amounts of medium accumulate in the concave bottom 23, the medium flows out from different moving pipes 4, achieving adaptive adjustment for different amounts of medium.

[0037] Figure 3 It shows Figure 1 A magnified structural diagram at point B. (Combined with...) Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the cooling cylinder 1 includes: a casing plate 15, a connecting pipe 14, a second cylinder 11, spiral channels 12 formed at the upper and lower ends of the second cylinder 11, and cylinder plates 13 movably disposed at the upper and lower ends of the second cylinder 11. The second cylinder 11 is arranged vertically. For example, the second cylinder 11 is a cuboid. A guide plate 111 is formed around the upper end of the second cylinder 11. The lower end of the outer surface of the first cylinder 21 is recessed inward to form an outer groove 212. The inward recess of the guide plate 111 matches the outer groove 212, allowing gas to flow along the outer groove 212, completing the air cooling of the medium and preventing gas diffusion from affecting the air cooling efficiency.

[0038] Figure 5 A bottom view of the spiral channel above the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the spiral channel 12 connects to the inside and the inlet / outlet of the second cylinder 11. The spiral channel 12 is located at both the upper and lower ends inside the second cylinder 11; the upper spiral channel 12 opens at the bottom, and the lower spiral channel 12 opens at the top. The upper end of the upper spiral channel 12 connects to the outer groove 212 and the guide plate 111. The lower end of the lower spiral channel 12 connects to the receiving cylinder 3. Gas enters the lower spiral channel 12 through the receiving cylinder 3, spirals within the spiral channel 12, and spirals into the second cylinder 11. The gas rises slowly within the second cylinder 11, prolonging the air cooling time.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 As shown, there are two sets of connecting pipes 14, located at the upper and lower ends of the second cylinder 11, respectively. The connecting pipe 14 located at the upper end of the second cylinder 11 is distributed and connects different positions of the bottom recess 23, connecting the bottom recess 23 and the moving pipe 4. The connecting pipe 14 includes a first cylinder 141 connecting to the bottom recess 23 and a second cylinder 142 extending into the second cylinder 11. The lower end of the first cylinder 141 forms a first ball groove 143, and the upper end of the second cylinder 142 forms a first sphere 144. The first sphere 144 is positioned within the first ball groove 143 and can move at any angle, ensuring that the bottom recess 23 and the moving pipe 4 remain connected through the connecting pipe 14 when the moving pipe 4 moves.

[0040] The upper end of the first cylinder 141 extends a certain distance beyond the inner surface of the recess 23. When the flow rate from the first cylinder 21 to the recess 23 is small, the medium flows into the bottom of the recess 23 and into the lower-level first cylinder 141. When the flow rate from the first cylinder 21 to the recess 23 is large, some of the medium flows into the bottom of the recess 23 and into the lower-level first cylinder 141, while the other part flows into the higher-level first cylinder 141. When the medium accumulates at the bottom of the recess 23, it flows into the moving pipe 4 through the lower-level first cylinder 141. As the amount of medium accumulated gradually increases, the medium also flows into the moving pipe 4 through the higher-level first cylinder 141. Through the arrangement and distribution of the first cylinders 141, the medium can flow into different moving pipes 4 according to different medium volumes, ensuring air cooling efficiency.

[0041] The connecting pipe 14 located at the lower end of the second cylinder 11 connects the receiving cylinder 3 and the moving pipe 4. The connecting pipe 14 includes a first cylinder 141 connecting the receiving cylinder 3 and a second cylinder 142 extending into the second cylinder 11. The upper end of the first cylinder 141 forms a first ball groove 143, and the lower end of the second cylinder 142 forms a first ball 144. The first ball 144 is positioned within the first ball groove 143 and can move at any angle, so that when the moving pipe 4 moves, the receiving cylinder 3 and the moving pipe 4 are always connected through the connecting pipe 14.

[0042] Combination Figure 2 As shown, exemplarily, the cylindrical plate 13 is a telescopic plate. The cylindrical plate 13 is horizontally movably disposed on the second cylindrical body 11, and the cylindrical plate 13 is located at the upper and lower ends of the second cylindrical body 11. The sheathing plate 15 surrounds the moving tube 4 and is connected between the cylindrical plates 13, with the upper and lower ends of the sheathing plate 15 respectively connected to each cylindrical plate 13.

[0043] A rod 131 is formed on the cylindrical plate 13, and the rod 131 passes through the second cylindrical body 11. A first spring 132 is sleeved on the rod 131, and the first spring 132 pushes the rod 131 and the cylindrical plate 13 to move inward. When the moving tube 4 expands and contracts, under the action of the first spring 132, the shielding plate 15 always contacts the moving tube 4, restricting the flow range of the gas. The moving cylindrical plate 13 blocks the spiral channel 12, corresponding to the change in the flow range of the gas.

[0044] Figure 4 It shows Figure 1 A magnified structural diagram at point C. (Combined with...) Figure 4 As shown, the movable tube 4 includes: a connector 43, a vertically arranged tube body 41, a ball head 42 movably arranged on the tube body 41, and a tube lug 44 connected to the tube body 41. The upper and lower ends of the tube body 41 respectively form spherical end grooves 411, and the ball head 42 is placed in the end grooves 411 and can swing at any angle.

[0045] Combination Figure 2As shown, the ball head 42 is movably connected to the connecting pipe 14, and a ball tube 421 is formed on the ball head 42. The ball tube 421 is inserted into the second cylindrical tube 142, and the ball tube 421 and the second cylindrical tube 142 are slidably connected. When the moving pipe 4 moves, the ball tube 421 and the second cylindrical tube 142 are always connected to ensure the flow of the medium.

[0046] Combination Figure 4 As shown, an oblong 44 has a waist-shaped hole 441 formed on it. The oblongs 44 of adjacent tubes 41 are stacked on the connector 43, so that the connector 43 passes through the waist-shaped hole 441 of the stacked oblongs 44. When the tube 41 moves, the connector 43 moves along the waist-shaped hole 441, so that the tube 41 can pull the adjacent tubes 41 to move to complete expansion and contraction. The oblongs 44 are distributed at different heights of the tubes 41, so that the tubes 41 pull the adjacent tubes 41 to move as a whole, avoiding the tilting of the tubes 41 caused by concentrated tension.

[0047] Figure 6 A partial structural schematic diagram of the tube body according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 6 As shown, a flow-damping plate 412 is provided inside the pipe body 41, and the flow-damping plate 412 is spirally arranged inside the pipe body 41. Flow-damping protrusions 413 and flow-damping recesses 414 are formed on the flow-damping plate 412 by stamping, and the protrusions 413 and recesses 414 are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the same position on the flow-damping plate 412. For example, the protrusions 413 and recesses 414 are triangular. The end of the medium flow on the protrusions 413 and recesses 414 transitions towards the flow-damping plate 412, so that the medium is decelerated after contacting the protrusions 413 and recesses 414, and flows smoothly to the flow-damping plate 412 to continue flowing. The upper and lower surfaces of the flow-slowing plate 412 are alternately formed with flow-slowing protrusions 413 and flow-slowing depressions 414, which causes the medium to flow along the flow-slowing plate 412 and prolongs the medium flow time. The medium contact with the flow-slowing protrusions 413 and flow-slowing depressions 414 further prolongs the medium flow time, allowing the medium to be fully air-cooled.

[0048] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the flow obstruction mechanism 5 includes a guide plate 51 arranged around the moving pipe 4 and a partition 52 connected to the moving pipe 4. The guide plate 51 slopes outwards from top to bottom, collecting gas near the pipe body 41. The heat of the medium is transferred sequentially through the pipe body 41 and the partition 52 to the guide plate 51, and the heat is carried away by the gas contacting the guide plate 51. The partition 52 separates the pipe body 41 and the guide plate 51 to facilitate gas passage. After flowing upwards, the gas contacts the guide plate 51, flows along the guide plate 51 towards the pipe body 41, and continues to flow upwards after passing through the partition 52.

[0049] Guide plates 51 are fixedly or oscillatingly mounted on partitions 52. At the same height, if the guide plate 51 on the current tube 41 is fixedly mounted on partition 52, then the guide plates 51 on adjacent tubes 41 are oscillatingly mounted on partition 52. When the tubes 41 move and retract relative to each other, the guide plates 51 on adjacent tubes 41 oscillate and retract, shortening the distance between tubes 41. The guide plate 51 on the current tube 41 abuts against the adjacent tube 41, ensuring that the tubes 41 have a certain distance to facilitate gas flow. When the oscillating guide plates 51 oscillate outwards, the contact range of the gas can be increased, improving air cooling efficiency to cope with changes in the medium temperature. The oscillation of the guide plates 51 is automatically completed with the movement of the tubes 41, achieving adaptive adjustment to changes in medium temperature.

[0050] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the moving mechanism according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 8 A top view of the moving mechanism according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the moving mechanism 6 includes: a moving frame 61 arranged along the moving direction of the moving tube 4, a screw 62 rotatably arranged on the moving frame 61, a guide rod 63 arranged on the moving frame 61, a moving block 64 slidably arranged on the guide rod 63, a rotating member 65 rotatably arranged on the moving block 64, and a screw cylinder 66 arranged on the outer moving block 64.

[0051] The moving mechanism 6 consists of four sets, located at the corners of the second cylinder 11. The moving frame 61 is horizontally arranged inside the cooling cylinder 1. The moving block 64 is connected to the moving pipe 4. There are multiple sets of moving blocks 64, and the number of moving blocks 64 corresponds to the number of pipes 41 at the position of the moving frame 61.

[0052] The rotating component 65 includes a rotating cylinder 651 rotatably mounted on the moving block 64 and a rotating rod 652 connected to the rotating cylinder 651. The rotating rods 652 of adjacent rotating components 65 are superimposed on each other, and a rotating shaft 653 passes through the superimposed position to realize the mutual rotational connection of adjacent rotating components 65.

[0053] A through hole is formed on the movable block 64, through which the screw 62 passes. The screw barrel 66 is disposed in the through hole of the outer movable block 64 and is threadedly connected to the screw 62. The screw 62 is driven to rotate by a motor. The rotation of the screw 62 drives the screw barrel 66 and the outer movable block 64 to move. The outer movable block 64 pulls the adjacent movable block 64 to move through the rotating part 65, thereby realizing that the movable blocks 64 move closer or further apart from each other.

[0054] The collecting cylinder 3 includes: an inner cylinder 31 that connects to the moving pipe 4, an outer channel 32 spirally surrounding the inner cylinder 31, and a fan 33 installed at the inlet of the outer channel 32.

[0055] The medium in the moving pipe 4 flows into the inner cylinder 31 and accumulates. A valve is installed at the lower end of the inner cylinder 31 to open or close it. The outlet of the outer channel 32 is connected to the cooling cylinder 1. The fan 33 blows gas into the outer channel 32, where the gas exchanges heat with the medium in the inner cylinder 31. Because the outer channel 32 is spirally arranged around the inner cylinder 31, the gas can smoothly enter the spiral channel 12 after passing through the outer channel 32 along a spiral path, thus allowing the gas to rise from the spiral channel 12 and continue to flow spirally into the second cylinder 11.

[0056] In this application, the moving tube 4 is vertically arranged. The inflow of medium into each moving tube 4 improves the efficiency of medium air cooling. However, the medium flows unidirectionally from top to bottom, resulting in a shorter contact time between the medium and gas compared to the horizontal reciprocating movement of the medium in traditional heat exchange tubes. This application extends the medium flow path through the flow buffer 412, allowing the gas to rise slowly via a spiral flow, thus extending the contact time between the gas and the moving tube 4. The guide plate 51 collects the gas, increasing the amount of gas used for air cooling and improving the medium air cooling effect. Furthermore, this application reuses the discharged gas, allowing the gas and medium to exchange heat in the expansion cylinder 2 to complete air cooling. The utilization of the discharged gas allows the gas and medium to exchange heat in the inner cylinder 31 to complete air cooling. Through a total of three air cooling processes, the air cooling effect of the medium in this application is ultimately guaranteed.

[0057] Second embodiment: The adjustment method for adaptive air coolers includes the following steps: Diffusion step: Sensors are installed at the inlet of the first cylinder 21 to detect medium flow rate data and medium temperature data respectively.

[0058] When the medium enters the first cylinder 21 and contacts the expansion member 22, it diffuses. The medium contacts the inner surface of the first cylinder 21 and flows downward along the inner surface of the first cylinder 21. The medium collects in the bottom recess 23.

[0059] Adjustment steps: Adjust the spacing of moving tube 4 according to the medium temperature data.

[0060] When the medium temperature is high, the motor drives the screw 62 to rotate, causing the outer moving block 64 to move along the guide rod 63. The outer moving block 64 pulls the adjacent moving block 64 to move through the rotating part 65. The moving block 64 drives the tube body 41 to move and spread, increasing the spacing between the tube bodies 41. The swinging guide plate 51 swings outward, expanding the contact range between the guide plate 51 and the gas.

[0061] When the medium temperature is low, the motor drives the screw 62 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the outer moving block 64 to move in the opposite direction along the guide rod 63. The outer moving block 64 pulls the adjacent moving block 64 to move in the opposite direction through the rotating part 65. The moving block 64 causes the tube body 41 to move in the opposite direction and contract, reducing the distance between the tube bodies 41. The swinging guide plate 51 swings inward, reducing the contact area between the guide plate 51 and the gas.

[0062] Air cooling step: Verify the liquid level of the medium in the bottom recess 23 based on the medium flow rate data. The medium in the bottom recess 23 enters each pipe body 41 through the connecting pipe 14. The medium flows from top to bottom along the flow-slowing plate 412. During the flow, the medium comes into contact with the flow-slowing protrusion 413 and the flow-slowing recess 414, which slows down the flow rate of the medium.

[0063] The gas generated by the fan 33 flows spirally into the second cylinder 11 through the outer channel 32. The gas flows in the lower spiral channel 12. After rising from the lower spiral channel 12, the gas continues to flow upward along the second cylinder 11 in a spiral flow direction.

[0064] The gas flows along the tubes 41 and contacts the tubes 41 to complete the air cooling. When the gas acts on the guide plate 51, the guide plate 51 collects the gas and acts on the tubes 41. The gas flows along the guide plate 51, approaches and contacts the tubes 41, and the gas passes through the partition 52 and continues to flow upward.

[0065] Gas enters the upper spiral channel 12 and exits through the spiral channel 12 into the second cylinder 11. The medium flows from the pipe 41 into the inner cylinder 31 for collection.

[0066] The air cooling process also includes a pre-air cooling process and a post-air cooling process.

[0067] Pre-cooling process: After the gas exits the second cylinder 11 through the upper spiral channel 12, it continues to flow upward along the first cylinder 21. The gas flows between the outer groove 212 and the guide plate 111, adhering to the first cylinder 21 and cooling the medium inside, thus completing the heat exchange of the medium near the expansion component 22. This pre-cooling process completes the pre-cooling while the medium is still inside the expansion cylinder 2, reducing the air cooling pressure inside the cooling cylinder 1.

[0068] Post-cooling process: The medium flows into the inner cylinder 31 for collection, and the gas flows along the outer channel 32 to complete the heat exchange of the medium in the inner cylinder 31, thus air-cooling the medium in the inner cylinder 31. After the medium enters the inner cylinder 31 through the post-cooling process, it is collected in the inner cylinder 31 for a period of time before being discharged. The medium air-cooling time is relatively long, ensuring the final medium air-cooling effect.

[0069] In this application, the medium undergoes three air-cooling processes. The first air-cooling process is carried out in the expansion cylinder 2 to reduce the pressure of the second air-cooling process. The second air-cooling process is carried out in the cooling cylinder 1, and the moving tube 4 can be moved to expand and contract to adjust the air-cooling capacity of the medium. The third air-cooling process is carried out in the closing cylinder 3 to ensure the air-cooling effect of the medium.
