Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cooling system technology, and more particularly to a cooling system and electrical device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electrical devices generate heat during operation, which accumulates within the device. If this heat is not dissipated promptly, it can lead to the aging of electrical components and affect the normal operation of the circuit. To reduce the heat generated during operation, existing cooling systems for electrical devices often employ air cooling, using fans and other equipment to circulate air and remove the heat.

[0003] However, reducing the heat generated during the operation of electrical devices by air cooling not only results in high circuit consumption but also has little cooling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This disclosure provides a cooling system and electrical device to address, to some extent, the technical problems in the prior art where air cooling is used to reduce the heat generated during the operation of electrical devices, resulting in high circuit consumption and insignificant cooling efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this disclosure is: The first aspect of this disclosure provides a cooling system, comprising: Cooling box; The liquid cooling assembly is installed inside the cooling tank and includes the liquid cooling tank, a stirring device rotatably connected to the liquid cooling tank, a coolant inlet pipe and a coolant outlet pipe that are in fluid communication with the liquid cooling tank. The intake and exhaust assembly is used to allow hot air from the outside of the cooling box to enter the liquid cooling assembly and to exhaust the cooled hot air from the cooling box.

[0006] Furthermore, the liquid cooling assembly also includes: The coolant reservoir, located on the outside of the cooling tank, is used to store coolant. A fixing plate is installed on the outer side wall of both sides of the liquid cooling box to fix the liquid cooling box. The coolant inlet pipe has one end connected to the coolant storage tank through the coolant box and the other end connected to the liquid cooling box. The coolant outlet pipe also has one end connected to the coolant storage tank through the coolant box and the other end connected to the liquid cooling box.

[0007] Furthermore, the stirring device includes: The stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the liquid cooling tank, and a motor and stirring blades are mounted on it.

[0008] Furthermore, the stirring blades are provided with several perforations.

[0009] Furthermore, the stirring device also includes: A baffle is installed at the bottom of the stirring blade, and a first temperature sensor is installed at the bottom of the baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid cooling assembly also includes a vent valve and an exhaust port located on the top of the liquid cooling tank. The vent valve is used to control the exhaust port to release air.

[0011] Furthermore, the liquid cooling assembly also includes a cooling plate and a compressor mounted on the inner wall of the liquid cooling tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the intake and exhaust assembly includes an intake pipe and an exhaust pipe disposed inside the cooling box, and an intake fan and an exhaust fan disposed outside the cooling box.

[0014] A second aspect of this disclosure provides an electrical device including the cooling system described in the first aspect of this disclosure.

[0015] This disclosure provides a cooling system and an electrical device. The present disclosure uses liquid cooling to cool hot airflow. Liquid cooling can absorb the heat of hot airflow more directly. Compared with the air cooling method in the prior art, it has higher cooling efficiency, which helps to reduce the temperature inside the electrical device, reduce heat accumulation, thereby slowing down the aging of electrical components and ensuring the normal operation of the circuit.

They are used together with the embodiments of this disclosure to explain the disclosure and do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings, the same reference numerals generally represent the same components or steps.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments of this disclosure. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0020] Figure 1 This is one of the schematic diagrams of a cooling system provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0021] Figure 2 This is a second schematic diagram of a cooling system provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the cooling system includes at least a cooling housing 1, a liquid cooling assembly and an intake and exhaust assembly disposed within the cooling housing 1.

[0023] The liquid cooling assembly includes a liquid cooling tank 3, a stirring device, a coolant inlet pipe 10, and a coolant outlet pipe 18. The coolant inlet pipe 10 and the coolant outlet pipe 18 are in fluid communication with the liquid cooling tank 3. Coolant is introduced into the liquid cooling tank 3 through the coolant inlet pipe 10, and coolant is discharged from the liquid cooling tank 3 through the coolant outlet pipe 18, thus allowing the coolant to circulate within the liquid cooling tank 3.

[0024] The intake and exhaust assembly is used to allow hot air from the outside of the cooling box 1 to flow into the liquid cooling assembly. The liquid cooling assembly, through which coolant is introduced, cools the hot air flow, which is then exhausted from the cooling box 1 through the intake and exhaust assembly.

[0025] In summary, according to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, the present disclosure uses liquid cooling to cool the hot airflow. Liquid cooling can absorb the heat of the hot airflow more directly, and compared with the air cooling method in the prior art, it has higher cooling efficiency, which helps to reduce the temperature inside the electrical device, reduce heat accumulation, thereby slowing down the aging of electrical components and ensuring the normal operation of the circuit. At the same time, the liquid cooling system does not need to rely on the continuous operation of equipment such as fans to achieve air flow, which can reduce circuit power consumption to a certain extent.

[0026] The aforementioned hot airflow can be formed by heat generated during the operation of electrical equipment. It can also be formed by heat generated during chemical reaction processes. It can also be formed by heat generated in other forms, which are not limited herein.

[0027] Preferably, the liquid cooling assembly further includes a liquid storage tank 11 disposed outside the cooling housing 1 (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown) and fixing plates 2 are installed on the outer sides of both side walls of the liquid cooling tank 3. One end of the coolant inlet pipe 10 passes through the cooling tank 1 and connects to the storage tank 11, while the other end connects to the liquid cooling tank 3. The coolant outlet pipe 18 passes through the cooling tank 1 and connects to the storage tank 11, with the other end also connecting to the liquid cooling tank 3. The coolant inlet pipe 10 and the coolant outlet pipe 18 enable fluid communication between the cooling tank 1 and the storage tank 11. The fixing plates 2 can be installed on the side walls, top, or bottom of the cooling tank 1 to fix the liquid cooling tank 3, ensuring its stability within the cooling tank 1 and preventing shaking or displacement of the liquid cooling components during operation, thus ensuring the stability of the entire cooling system.

[0028] Preferably, the stirring device includes a stirring shaft 5 and a motor and stirring blades 6 mounted on the stirring shaft 5. The motor drives the stirring shaft 5 to rotate. The stirring shaft 5 drives the stirring blades 6 to stir the coolant entering the liquid cooling tank 3, thereby accelerating the contact between the hot airflow and the coolant entering the liquid cooling tank 3, and thus accelerating the cooling of the hot airflow. The stirring blades 6 can be mounted on both sides of the stirring shaft 5.

[0029] Preferably, the stirring blade 6 is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 7. These drainage holes 7 can be evenly distributed in the stirring blade 6. These drainage holes 7 allow coolant to pass through. When the stirring shaft 5 drives the stirring blade 6 to rotate, the coolant forms a loop inside the coolant after passing through the drainage holes 7 on the stirring blade 6, which can increase the cooling effect of the coolant on the hot airflow.

[0030] Preferably, the stirring device further includes a baffle 8 disposed at the bottom of the stirring blade 6 and a first temperature sensor 9 disposed at the bottom of the baffle 8.

[0031] The first temperature sensor 9 is used to monitor the temperature of the coolant inside the liquid cooling box 3.

[0032] Preferably, the liquid cooling assembly also includes a vent valve 13 and an exhaust port 14 located on the top of the liquid cooling tank 3. The vent valve 13 controls the exhaust port 14 to release gas. When the liquid cooling tank 3 is operating, the coolant exchanges heat with the hot gas flow, causing changes in the pressure and gas state inside the tank. This may be due to the coolant evaporating to produce steam, or the gas carried by the hot gas flow itself, leading to an increase in gas and pressure inside the tank. When the pressure inside the tank reaches a certain value, exceeding the safe range or hindering the normal operation of the cooling system, the vent valve 13 opens, allowing the gas to be released through the exhaust port 14. This prevents the liquid cooling tank 3 from being damaged due to excessive pressure, ensuring the safety and stability of the cooling system. Simultaneously, timely gas release also helps maintain the efficiency of heat exchange between the coolant and the hot gas flow, ensuring cooling performance. For example, excessive gas accumulation inside the tank can hinder sufficient contact between the hot gas flow and the coolant, affecting heat dissipation. Controlling the exhaust through the vent valve 13 ensures that the cooling system remains in good working condition.

[0033] The aforementioned vent valve 13 can preferably be an intelligent vent valve.

[0034] Preferably, the liquid cooling assembly further includes a cooling plate 4 disposed on the inner wall of the liquid cooling tank 3 and a compressor (not shown in the figure). The cooling plate 4 may be uniformly disposed on the inner wall of the liquid cooling tank 3, or it may be disposed on one or more inner walls of the liquid cooling tank 3. The cooling plate can be used to further cool the coolant entering the liquid cooling tank 3. The compressor can compress the coolant for efficient heat conduction.

[0035] Preferably, the intake and exhaust assembly includes an intake pipe 12 and an exhaust pipe (not shown) disposed within the cooling housing 1, and an intake fan (not shown) and an exhaust fan (not shown) disposed outside the cooling housing 1. One end of the intake pipe 12 is connected to the intake fan, and the other end is connected to the liquid cooling box 3. One end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust fan, and the other end is connected to the liquid cooling box 3. The intake fan and exhaust fan can be simultaneously disposed on one side or opposite sides of the cooling housing 1.

[0036] During the operation of the cooling system, the intake and exhaust fans on one or both sides of the cooling box 1 are used to guide the hot air generated by the operation of the electrical device into the cooling box 1 and to exhaust the cooled hot air out of the cooling box 1. Specifically, the intake fan guides the hot air into the liquid cooling box 3 through the intake pipe 12. At the same time, coolant is added to the liquid cooling box 3 through the coolant inlet pipe 10. Then, the stirring shaft 5 drives the stirring blades 6 to stir the coolant, thereby accelerating the contact between the hot air and the coolant. After the hot air is fully cooled, the exhaust fan and exhaust pipe work together to allow the cooled gas formed by the hot air to be discharged from the cooling box 1 through the liquid cooling box 3.

[0037] Preferably, the outer side of the cooling box 1 is provided with two grooves, one of which houses the intake fan and the other of which houses the exhaust fan. By providing grooves on the outer side of the cooling box 1 and embedding the intake and exhaust fans therein, the intake and exhaust fans can be physically concealed, avoiding the exposure of the intake and exhaust fans from affecting the overall appearance of the cooling system, and potentially reducing the risk of damage to the intake and exhaust fans due to collisions.

[0038] Preferably, the cooling system further includes a viewing window 15 disposed on the cooling housing 1, an induction lighting lamp 16 disposed on the inner side wall of the cooling housing 1, and a second temperature sensor 17 disposed on the inner side wall of the cooling housing 1. The induction lighting lamp 16 is disposed above the viewing window 15, and the second temperature sensor 17 is disposed below the viewing window 15.

[0039] The second temperature sensor 17 inside the cooling box 1 can monitor the temperature inside the cooling box 1 in a timely manner. Once the temperature exceeds the preset safety range, an alarm signal can be triggered in time to remind the operator to pay attention to the operating status of the cooling system, ensure the safe operation of the cooling system, and improve the safety and reliability of the cooling system.

[0040] This disclosure also provides an electrical device including the cooling system described above.

[0041] In summary, according to the technical solution provided in this disclosure, electrical devices generate a large amount of heat during operation. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will lead to excessively high internal temperatures and affect performance. This cooling system employs liquid cooling, utilizing direct contact between the coolant and the hot airflow, allowing the coolant to directly absorb heat. This results in a cooling efficiency far exceeding that of traditional air cooling. Furthermore, the stirring device accelerates the contact between the coolant and the hot airflow, while the cooling plate and compressor further enhance the cooling effect. This rapidly reduces the temperature inside the electrical device, minimizes heat accumulation, ensures stable operation of the electrical device, and prevents performance degradation or malfunctions caused by overheating.
