Waterway system and cooling fan

Abstract

This application provides a water circuit system and a cooling fan. A forward-facing water valve and a water tank connection structure are installed at the bottom of the water tank body. A connecting connection structure is installed on the connecting pipe, and a reverse-facing connecting water valve is installed within the connecting connection structure. When the water tank body and the connecting pipe are assembled, the forward-facing water valve and the reverse-facing connecting water valve abut against each other. When the water tank body and the connecting pipe are separated, the forward-facing water valve and the reverse-facing connecting water valve separate, allowing the water valve to close the water tank body and the connecting water valve to close the connecting connection structure. This facilitates users to directly remove the water tank for water refilling, solving the problem of cumbersome water refilling operations caused by the need to remove the water pump and then the water tank in existing non-integrated water tank systems.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a water system and a cooling fan. Background Technology

[0002] Evaporative air coolers are products of the evaporative cooling industry. They use a circulating water pump to continuously draw water from the water tank and spray it evenly onto the evaporative filter layer (i.e., wet curtain) through a water distribution system. The principle of cooling and humidifying is achieved by hot air carrying moisture through the wet curtain and evaporating the moisture to absorb heat.

[0003] The water pump and water tank inside the air cooler are its main components. Currently, the water pump of most air coolers is submerged in the water tank. For water tanks that are not integrated with the whole unit, users need to remove the water pump before they can take out the water tank to add water, which makes the water adding operation cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a water system and a cooling fan that can solve the problem of cumbersome water filling operations caused by the fact that existing non-integrated water tanks require users to remove the water pump before they can take out the water tank to add water.

[0008] A power piping assembly, including a connecting pipe, which is selectively connected to the water tank body;

[0009] A connecting structure, connected to the connecting pipe, has a connecting water valve arranged in reverse;

[0010] When the water tank body and the connecting pipe are in the assembled state, the water tank valve that is set in the forward direction abuts against the connecting water valve that is set in the reverse direction, so that the water tank body and the connecting pipe are connected.

[0011] When the water tank body and the connecting pipe are separated, the water tank valve in the forward direction and the connecting water valve in the reverse direction are separated, so that the water tank valve closes the water tank body and the connecting water valve closes the connecting structure.

[0014] The lower housing is located below the upper housing and contains the power pipeline assembly.

[0015] In some embodiments, the housing assembly further includes a conduit channel located on the side of the upper housing and connected to the lower housing.

[0016] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe includes:

[0017] Water tank connection port;

[0018] The water pump connection port is perpendicular to the water tank connection port;

[0019] The drain pipe opening is perpendicular to the water tank connection opening and the water pump connection opening.

[0020] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe further includes a drain outlet, which is disposed opposite to the water pump connection port and is provided with a drain sealing cap.

[0021] In some embodiments, the water tank docking structure further includes a water tank docking interface, which surrounds the water tank valve and is located at the bottom of the water tank body;

[0027] In some embodiments, the power pipeline assembly further includes a water pump seal ring disposed between the power water pump and the water pump connection port.

[0028] In some embodiments, both the water tank valve and the connecting water valve include:

[0029] Valve core;

[0030] A sealing element is located at one end of the valve core;

[0031] A return spring, one end of which is connected to the valve core;

[0032] The return spring of the water tank valve is connected to the water tank body at one end away from the valve core, and the return spring of the connecting water valve is connected to the connecting interface at one end away from the valve core.

[0033] In some embodiments, the water system further includes a docking seal, which is disposed at the bottom of the water tank body and / or on the connecting docking interface.

[0034] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cooling fan, including a water system as described in any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application provide a water tank valve and a water tank docking structure arranged in a forward direction at the bottom of the water tank body, a connecting docking structure on the connecting pipe, and a connecting water valve arranged in a reverse direction within the connecting docking structure. When the water tank body and the connecting pipe are assembled, the forward-arranged water tank valve and the reverse-arranged connecting water valve abut each other; when the water tank body and the connecting pipe are separated, the forward-arranged water tank valve and the reverse-arranged connecting water valve separate, so that the water tank valve closes the water tank body and the connecting water valve closes the connecting docking structure. This makes it convenient for users to directly remove the water tank for water filling, which solves the problem of the cumbersome water filling operation caused by the need to remove the water pump and then remove the water tank when adding water in the existing non-integrated water tank.

[0050] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Evaporative air coolers are products of the evaporative cooling industry. They use a circulating water pump to continuously draw water from the water tank and spray it evenly onto the evaporative filter layer (i.e., wet curtain) through a water distribution system. The principle of cooling and humidifying is achieved by hot air carrying moisture through the wet curtain and evaporating the moisture to absorb heat.

[0052] The water pump and water tank inside an air cooler are its main components. Currently, most water pumps in existing air coolers are submerged in the water tank. For water tanks that are not integrated with the main unit, users need to remove the water pump to access the water tank when adding water. Furthermore, the water pump wires and pipes are visible, making the water adding process cumbersome and unsightly.

[0053] Example 1:

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, to address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a water system, including:

[0055] Water tank body 10;

[0056] The water tank docking structure 20 includes a water tank valve 210, which is located at the bottom of the water tank body 10.

[0057] The power piping assembly 50 includes a connecting pipe 30, which is selectively connected to the water tank body 10;

[0058] The connecting structure 40 is connected to the connecting pipe 30 and has a reverse-configured connecting water valve 410.

[0059] When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are in the assembled state, the water tank valve 210 set in the forward direction and the connecting water valve 410 set in the reverse direction abut against each other, so that the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are connected.

[0060] When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are separated, the water tank valve 210, which is set in the forward direction, and the connecting water valve 410, which is set in the reverse direction, are separated, so that the water tank valve 210 closes the water tank body 10 and the connecting water valve 410 closes the connecting docking structure 40.

[0061] It should be noted that the water tank body 10 is usually a cuboid. The bottom of the water tank body 10 is provided with a water tank connecting hole, which is usually a round hole. A water tank valve 210 is installed in the water tank connecting hole and is positioned in the forward direction. The water tank docking structure 20 is located at the bottom of the water tank body 10. The connecting docking structure 40 is located above the connecting pipe 30 and is positioned opposite to the water tank docking structure 20. The water tank valve 210 and the connecting valve 410 can selectively connect the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 (i.e., both connected and closed states).

[0062] In some embodiments, the water system includes the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410, which comprise:

[0063] Valve core;

[0064] A sealing element is located at one end of the valve core;

[0065] The return spring is connected to the valve core at one end; the return spring of the water tank valve 210 is connected to the water tank body 10 at the end away from the valve core, and the return spring of the connecting water valve 410 is connected to the connecting interface 420 at the end away from the valve core.

[0066] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410 have the same structure, except for their arrangement direction. One end of the valve core is provided with an installation groove for installing a sealing element. The diameter of the sealing element is larger than the diameter of the water tank connecting hole, and the diameter of the valve core is smaller than the diameter of the water tank connecting hole. The end of the valve core away from the sealing element is provided with a limiting protrusion ring. One end of the return spring is connected to the limiting protrusion ring, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the bottom of the water tank body 10 (water tank valve 210) or to the connecting docking structure 40. In this way, when separated, the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410 can seal the water tank connecting hole and the connecting docking structure 40 respectively under the restoring force of the return spring and / or gravity, so as to ensure that there is no water leakage when the water tank body 10 is removed.

[0067] In some embodiments, the water system further includes a housing assembly 70, the housing assembly 70 comprising:

[0068] The upper shell 710 contains a water tank body 10, a water tank docking structure 20, and a connecting docking structure 40.

[0069] The lower housing 720 is located below the upper housing 710, and a power pipeline assembly 50 is installed inside it.

[0070] It should be noted that the upper surface of the lower housing 720 has a through hole so that the connecting docking structure 40 connected to the connecting pipe 30 can be extended into the upper housing 710 through the through hole. The connecting docking structure 40 and the water tank docking structure 20 are docked inside the upper housing 710, which can facilitate the removal of the water tank body 10. At the same time, the water tank body 10 can be separated from the connecting pipe 30 and the power pipeline assembly 50, improving the aesthetics.

[0071] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 70 further includes a conduit channel 730, which is disposed on the side of the upper housing 710 and communicates with the lower housing 720.

[0072] It should be noted that the pipeline channel 730 is usually located on the back of the upper housing 710 (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown on the left), and connected to the lower housing 720, so that the water system pipes can be connected to the wet curtain through the pipe channel 730, and the water system pipes can be hidden to improve the cleanliness of the water system.

[0073] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 30 includes:

[0074] Water tank connection port 310;

[0075] The water pump connection port 320 is perpendicular to the water tank connection port 310;

[0076] The drain pipe opening 330 is perpendicular to the water tank connection opening 310 and the water pump connection opening 320.

[0077] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 30 further includes a drain outlet 340, which is disposed opposite to the water pump connecting port 320 and is provided with a drain sealing cap 60.

[0078] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the water pump connection port 320 is located at the left end of the horizontal direction of the connecting pipe 30, the water tank connection port 310 is located at the upper end of the connecting pipe 30, and the drain pipe port 330 is perpendicular to the plane where the water tank connection port 310 and the water pump connection port 320 are located, and is located on the side where the pipeline channel 730 is located, so as to facilitate the installation of the pipeline; by making the water tank connection port 310 (usually vertically upward) perpendicular to the water pump connection port 320 and the drain pipe port 330 (horizontal direction), the height of the water system can be reduced, which is convenient for arrangement inside the air cooler.

[0079] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the drain port 340 is located at the right end of the connecting pipe 30 in the horizontal direction. The drain port 340 is used to drain the residual water in the connecting pipe 30. A drain sealing ring can be provided between the drain port 340 and the drain sealing cover 60 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the drain port 340 and the drain sealing cover 60.

[0080] In some embodiments, the water tank docking structure 20 further includes a water tank docking interface 220, which surrounds the water tank valve 210 and is located at the bottom of the water tank body 10.

[0081] The connecting structure 40 also includes a connecting interface 420, which is located on the water tank connecting port 310, and a reverse-configured connecting water valve 410 is provided inside the connecting interface 420.

[0082] It should be noted that the water tank docking interface 220 is located on the outer periphery below the water tank connecting hole, that is, around the water tank connecting hole. The water tank docking interface 220 can be in the shape of a ring or other shapes, and the water tank docking interface 220 can be integrally formed with the water tank body 10. The connecting docking interface 420 is usually the same shape as the water tank docking interface 220, such as a ring. The size of the connecting docking interface 420 is usually smaller than the size of the water tank docking interface 220 so that the water tank docking interface 220 can be fitted onto the connecting docking interface 420 during docking (assembly). The water tank docking interface 220 and the connecting docking interface 420 can be respectively provided with a buckle and a limiting protrusion (or other limiting structure) so that the water tank docking interface 220 and the connecting docking interface 420 can be stably connected during docking.

[0083] It should be noted that the forward setting of the water tank valve 210 means that the sealing surface of the water tank valve 210 is at the top, and the reverse setting of the connecting water valve 410 means that the sealing surface of the connecting water valve 410 is at the bottom. This ensures that when docking, the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410 can push against each other, thereby exposing the water tank connecting hole and the connecting docking interface 420, so that the water tank body 10 is connected to the connecting pipe 30.

[0084] In some embodiments, the power line assembly 50 further includes:

[0085] A power water pump 510 is connected to a water pump connection port 320;

[0086] Water supply pipe 520 is installed inside pipe channel 730 and connected to power water pump 510;

[0087] The drain pipe 530 is installed inside the pipe channel 730 and connected to the drain outlet 330.

[0088] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the water supply pipe 520 is connected to the wet curtain, and the lower end of the water supply pipe 520 is connected to the power water pump 510. The upper end of the drain pipe 530 is connected to the wet curtain, and the lower end of the drain pipe 530 is connected to the drain outlet 330. In this way, the water supply pipe 520 and the drain pipe 530 can be hidden, improving the aesthetics of the water system. On the other hand, the water collected by the wet curtain can enter the power water pump 510 directly through the drain pipe 530 and the connecting pipe 30 as supplementary water, thereby achieving the purpose of saving water.

[0089] In summary, this embodiment of the application provides a forward-arranged water tank valve 210 and a water tank docking structure 20 at the bottom of the water tank body 10, a connecting docking structure 40 on the connecting pipe 30, and a reverse-arranged connecting water valve 410 within the connecting docking structure 40. When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are assembled, the forward-arranged water tank valve 210 and the reverse-arranged connecting water valve 410 abut against each other. When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are separated, the forward-arranged water tank valve 210 and the reverse-arranged connecting water valve 410 separate, allowing the water tank valve 210 to close the water tank body 10 and the connecting water valve 410 to close the connecting docking structure 40. This facilitates users in directly removing the water tank for water addition, solving the problem of cumbersome water addition operations caused by the need to remove the water pump and then the water tank in existing non-integrated water tanks.

This facilitates users in directly removing the water tank for water addition, solving the problem of cumbersome water addition operations caused by the need to remove the water pump and then the water tank when adding water in existing non-integrated water tanks.

[0129] Example 3:

[0130] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, to address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a water system, including:

[0131] Water tank body 10;

[0132] The water tank docking structure 20 includes a water tank valve 210, which is located at the bottom of the water tank body 10.

[0133] The power piping assembly 50 includes a connecting pipe 30, which is selectively connected to the water tank body 10;

[0134] The connecting structure 40 is connected to the connecting pipe 30 and has a reverse-configured connecting water valve 410.

[0135] When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are in the assembled state, the water tank valve 210 set in the forward direction and the connecting water valve 410 set in the reverse direction abut against each other, so that the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are connected.

[0136] When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are separated, the water tank valve 210, which is set in the forward direction, and the connecting water valve 410, which is set in the reverse direction, are separated, so that the water tank valve 210 closes the water tank body 10 and the connecting water valve 410 closes the connecting docking structure 40.

[0137] It should be noted that the water tank body 10 is usually a cuboid. The bottom of the water tank body 10 is provided with a water tank connecting hole, which is usually a round hole. A water tank valve 210 is installed in the water tank connecting hole and is positioned in the forward direction. The water tank docking structure 20 is located at the bottom of the water tank body 10. The connecting docking structure 40 is located above the connecting pipe 30 and is positioned opposite to the water tank docking structure 20. The water tank valve 210 and the connecting valve 410 can selectively connect the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 (i.e., both connected and closed states).

[0138] In some embodiments, the water system includes the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410, which comprise:

[0139] Valve core;

[0140] A sealing element is located at one end of the valve core;

[0141] The return spring is connected to the valve core at one end; the return spring of the water tank valve 210 is connected to the water tank body 10 at the end away from the valve core, and the return spring of the connecting water valve 410 is connected to the connecting interface 420 at the end away from the valve core.

[0142] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410 have the same structure, except for their arrangement direction. One end of the valve core is provided with an installation groove for installing a sealing element. The diameter of the sealing element is larger than the diameter of the water tank connecting hole, and the diameter of the valve core is smaller than the diameter of the water tank connecting hole. The end of the valve core away from the sealing element is provided with a limiting protrusion ring. One end of the return spring is connected to the limiting protrusion ring, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the bottom of the water tank body 10 (water tank valve 210) or to the connecting docking structure 40. In this way, when separated, the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410 can seal the water tank connecting hole and the connecting docking structure 40 respectively under the restoring force of the return spring and / or gravity, so as to ensure that there is no water leakage when the water tank body 10 is removed.

[0143] In some embodiments, the water system further includes a housing assembly 70, the housing assembly 70 comprising:

[0144] The upper shell 710 contains a water tank body 10, a water tank docking structure 20, and a connecting docking structure 40.

[0145] The lower housing 720 is located below the upper housing 710, and a power pipeline assembly 50 is installed inside it.

[0146] It should be noted that the upper surface of the lower housing 720 has a through hole so that the connecting docking structure 40 connected to the connecting pipe 30 can be extended into the upper housing 710 through the through hole. The connecting docking structure 40 and the water tank docking structure 20 are docked inside the upper housing 710, which can facilitate the removal of the water tank body 10. At the same time, the water tank body 10 can be separated from the connecting pipe 30 and the power pipeline assembly 50, improving the aesthetics.

[0147] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 70 further includes a conduit channel 730, which is disposed on the side of the upper housing 710 and communicates with the lower housing 720.

[0148] It should be noted that the pipeline channel 730 is usually located on the back of the upper housing 710 (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown on the left), and connected to the lower housing 720, so that the water system pipes can be connected to the wet curtain through the pipe channel 730, and the water system pipes can be hidden to improve the cleanliness of the water system.

[0149] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 30 includes:

[0150] Water tank connection port 310;

[0151] The water pump connection port 320 is perpendicular to the water tank connection port 310;

[0152] The drain pipe opening 330 is perpendicular to the water tank connection opening 310 and the water pump connection opening 320.

[0153] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 30 further includes a drain outlet 340, which is disposed opposite to the water pump connecting port 320 and is provided with a drain sealing cap 60.

[0154] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the water pump connection port 320 is located at the left end of the horizontal direction of the connecting pipe 30, the water tank connection port 310 is located at the upper end of the connecting pipe 30, and the drain pipe port 330 is perpendicular to the plane where the water tank connection port 310 and the water pump connection port 320 are located, and is located on the side where the pipeline channel 730 is located, so as to facilitate the installation of the pipeline; by making the water tank connection port 310 (usually vertically upward) perpendicular to the water pump connection port 320 and the drain pipe port 330 (horizontal direction), the height of the water system can be reduced, which is convenient for arrangement inside the air cooler.

[0155] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the drain port 340 is located at the right end of the connecting pipe 30 in the horizontal direction. The drain port 340 is used to drain the residual water in the connecting pipe 30. A drain sealing ring can be provided between the drain port 340 and the drain sealing cover 60 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the drain port 340 and the drain sealing cover 60.

[0156] In some embodiments, the water tank docking structure 20 further includes a water tank docking interface 220, which surrounds the water tank valve 210 and is located at the bottom of the water tank body 10.

[0157] The connecting structure 40 also includes a connecting interface 420, which is located on the water tank connecting port 310, and a reverse-configured connecting water valve 410 is provided inside the connecting interface 420.

[0158] It should be noted that the water tank docking interface 220 is located on the outer periphery below the water tank connecting hole, that is, around the water tank connecting hole. The water tank docking interface 220 can be in the shape of a ring or other shapes, and the water tank docking interface 220 can be integrally formed with the water tank body 10. The connecting docking interface 420 is usually the same shape as the water tank docking interface 220, such as a ring. The size of the connecting docking interface 420 is usually smaller than the size of the water tank docking interface 220 so that the water tank docking interface 220 can be fitted onto the connecting docking interface 420 during docking (assembly). The water tank docking interface 220 and the connecting docking interface 420 can be respectively provided with a buckle and a limiting protrusion (or other limiting structure) so that the water tank docking interface 220 and the connecting docking interface 420 can be stably connected during docking.

[0159] It should be noted that the forward setting of the water tank valve 210 means that the sealing surface of the water tank valve 210 is at the top, and the reverse setting of the connecting water valve 410 means that the sealing surface of the connecting water valve 410 is at the bottom. This ensures that when docking, the water tank valve 210 and the connecting water valve 410 can push against each other, thereby exposing the water tank connecting hole and the connecting docking interface 420, so that the water tank body 10 is connected to the connecting pipe 30.

[0160] In some embodiments, the power line assembly 50 further includes:

[0161] A power water pump 510 is connected to a water pump connection port 320;

[0162] Water supply pipe 520 is installed inside pipe channel 730 and connected to power water pump 510;

[0163] The drain pipe 530 is installed inside the pipe channel 730 and connected to the drain outlet 330.

[0164] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the water supply pipe 520 is connected to the wet curtain, and the lower end of the water supply pipe 520 is connected to the power water pump 510. The upper end of the drain pipe 530 is connected to the wet curtain, and the lower end of the drain pipe 530 is connected to the drain outlet 330. In this way, the water supply pipe 520 and the drain pipe 530 can be hidden, improving the aesthetics of the water system. On the other hand, the water collected by the wet curtain can enter the power water pump 510 directly through the drain pipe 530 and the connecting pipe 30 as supplementary water, thereby achieving the purpose of saving water.

[0165] In some embodiments, the power pipeline assembly 50 further includes a water pump seal ring disposed between the power water pump 510 and the water pump connection port 320.

[0166] It should be noted that by setting a water pump sealing ring between the water pump connection port 320 and the power water pump 510, the sealing performance of the connection between the water pump connection port 320 and the power water pump 510 can be guaranteed.

[0167] In some embodiments, the water system further includes a docking seal, which is disposed at the bottom of the water tank body 10 and / or on the connecting docking interface 420.

[0168] It should be noted that when the mating seal is located at the bottom of the water tank body 10, it is usually located below the water tank connecting hole and inside the water tank mating interface 220, so that the water tank mating interface 220 is fitted onto the connecting interface 420 and the top of the connecting interface 420 can abut against the mating seal; when the mating seal is located on the connecting interface 420, it is usually located at the top of the connecting interface 420, so that the mating seal at the top of the connecting interface 420 can abut against the bottom of the water tank body 10, thereby ensuring the sealing of the water passage between the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30. The mating seal can be a rubber sealing ring, etc.

[0169] In summary, this embodiment of the application provides a forward-arranged water tank valve 210 and a water tank docking structure 20 at the bottom of the water tank body 10, a connecting docking structure 40 on the connecting pipe 30, and a reverse-arranged connecting water valve 410 within the connecting docking structure 40. When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are assembled, the forward-arranged water tank valve 210 and the reverse-arranged connecting water valve 410 abut against each other. When the water tank body 10 and the connecting pipe 30 are separated, the forward-arranged water tank valve 210 and the reverse-arranged connecting water valve 410 separate, allowing the water tank valve 210 to close the water tank body 10 and the connecting water valve 410 to close the connecting docking structure 40. This facilitates users in directly removing the water tank for water addition, solving the problem of cumbersome water addition operations caused by the need to remove the water pump and then the water tank when adding water in existing non-integrated water tanks.
