[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0036] Because the air compressor cooler in the prior art is very likely to collide with hard objects such as safety belts, tools, and some equipment parts carried by the human body, and the aluminum shell has poor collision resistance, the heat dissipation surface is prone to deformation and damage.

[0037] See also Figure 1-7 An embodiment of the present application provides an air compressor cooler protection device for installation on an air compressor cooler 100 , including a connecting seat 1 and a protective net 2 .

[0038] The connecting seat 1 can be detachably mounted on the air compressor cooler 100, specifically by bolt connection, clamping, etc. The present application preferably uses bolt connection. The material of the connecting seat 1 is not limited. In the embodiment of the present application, aluminum is preferably used. As a metal, it has a lower density. Therefore, within the same volume, it is lighter and will not affect the normal use of the air compressor cooler 100. Through the detachable connection of the connecting seat 1, it is convenient for users to replace or repair the air compressor cooler 100.

[0039] The protective net 2 can be detachably mounted on the connecting seat 1, specifically by bolt connection, snap connection, etc., so that the protective net 2 can be replaced when it is damaged. The protective net 2 can be a zinc steel net, a stainless steel net or an aluminum alloy net, etc. In the present application, an easily available stainless steel net is used, which has high elasticity and good energy absorption effect.

[0040] A buffer area 2a is formed between the protective net 2 and the air compressor cooler 100. When the protective net 2 is subjected to external pressure, assuming it is P, when the protective net 2 is subjected to a pressure exceeding P, the protective net 2 collapses toward the buffer area 2a. Therefore, the buffer area 2a can prevent the protective net 2 from collapsing and directly contacting the air compressor cooler 100 when some hard objects hit the protective net, thereby causing damage to the air compressor cooler 100.

[0041] Specifically, two connecting seats 1 are provided, the two connecting seats 1 are arranged at intervals, and the protective net 2 is located between the two connecting seats 1. Figure 1 as well as Figure 6 As shown, two connection seats 1 are connected to the air compressor cooler 100 by bolts, and the protection net 2 is arranged between the two connection seats 1, which can well protect the heat dissipation fins in the middle.

[0042] In addition, since the two connecting seats 1 are arranged at an interval, the space between the two connecting seats 1 can also facilitate the disassembly and installation of the protective net 2.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the protective net 2 is preferably installed in a snap-fit ​​manner, that is, the connecting seat 1 defines a slot 1a, and the side portion of the protective net 2 is snap-fitted into the slot 1a.

[0044] The specific connection method is to first install the protection net 2 in the slot 1a, and then install the connecting base 1 on the air compressor air cooler 100.

[0045] In order to achieve rapid replacement and disassembly of the protective net 2, in the embodiment of the present application, the protective net 2 is made of a stainless steel net that can be deformed under a certain pressure. Therefore, the connecting seat 1 can be installed on the air compressor cooler 100 first, and then the protective net 2 can be snapped into the slot 1a.

[0046] Furthermore, the notches of the slots 1a on the two connecting seats 1 are arranged relative to each other. On the basis of the relative arrangement, the two connecting seats 1 can squeeze the protective net 2 to prevent the protective net 2 from falling off from the slots 1a.

[0047] In some possible embodiments, the notches of the two slots 1a can also be set in the same direction, for example upward. In this case, the protective net 2 is inserted into the slot 1a from top to bottom, which can also achieve the same installation effect and facilitate disassembly.

[0048] Furthermore, the slot 1a has an arc transition, combined with Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is shown that one side wall of the slot is an arc transition. In this way, the opening area of ​​the slot can be enlarged, making it easier for the protective net 2 to be clipped into the slot 1a. Secondly, the arc surface design can also play a certain guiding role.

[0049] It is understandable that the side walls of the slot 1a forming the notch can be arc-shaped transitions, and the function is similar to that of Figure 7 The same as shown, but in the embodiment of the present application, in order to simplify the process, only one side wall is set to be an arc transition.

[0050] Furthermore, the protective net 2 includes a main body 21 and side nets 22 . Two side nets 22 are provided and are respectively connected to a group of opposite side walls of the main body 21 .

[0051] The main body 21 and the side nets 22 are arranged at an angle, so that a certain distance can be provided between the main body 21 and the air compressor cooler 100 to form a buffer area 2a. In actual situations, hard objects generally hit directly from the front. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, only two side nets 22 are arranged to connect a group of opposite side walls of the main body 21, and the entire main body 21 is not covered. This not only saves materials, but also reduces the number of steps.

[0052] Of course, it is understandable that, in a further embodiment, a plurality of side nets 22 can be provided and connected to the side wall of the main body 21, and form a groove structure with the main body 21, and the groove in the groove structure is the buffer area 2a, so that the air compressor cooler 100 can be protected more comprehensively.

[0053] On the basis of the previous embodiment, the side net 22 and the main body 21 are an integrally bent structure. The integral bending has low material requirements and is easier to form. In addition, the bending can make the material better disperse stress under the action of external force, thereby improving its bearing capacity.

[0054] The angle a between the side net 22 and the main body 21 satisfies 120°≤a≤150°, and can specifically be 120°, 130°, 140° and 150°. Within this angle range, the size of the buffer area 2a space can be ensured. If the angle is too small, stress concentration will increase, which may cause the material to break or over-deform at the bend.

[0055] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 3 is provided at the connection between the side net 22 and the main body 21. The reinforcing plate 3 is made of the same material as the side net 22 and the main body 21, and can be connected to the connection between the side net 22 and the main body 21, i.e., the bending part, by welding. The reinforcing plate 3 can increase the structural strength of the bending part, so that it can withstand greater pressure and tension, thereby improving the durability and stability of the protective net 2.

[0056] In order to prevent the deformation of the side net 22 and facilitate detachable installation, the side net 22 includes a side net body 221 and a mounting plate 222. One end of the side net body 221 is connected to the mounting plate 222, and the other end is connected to the body 21. The angle b between the side net body 221 and the mounting plate 222 satisfies 120°≤b≤150°. The angle b can be 120°, 130°, 140° and 150°. Within this angle range, a larger bending radius can be provided, thereby reducing stress concentration at the bend, and making the stress at the connection smaller and less prone to deformation. In the embodiment of the present application, it is preferably 140°, and the mounting plate 222 is generally in two planes parallel to the body 21, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the mounting plate 222.

[0057] At the same time, the presence of the mounting plate 222 can also facilitate the clamping process, and the mounting plate 222 can fit the side wall of the clamping slot 1a well.

[0058] In the present application, the connection between the mounting plate 222 and the side net body 221 is an integral bending structure, and the mounting plate 222 and the side net body 221 are not in the same plane. Therefore, in order to facilitate installation, the connection between the mounting plate 222 and the side net body 221 is an integral bending structure. There are two specific cases of the bending structure at this point. One is that the mounting plate 222 is bent, and the side net body 221 is not bent. The other is that the side net body 221 is bent, and the mounting plate 222 is not bent. In the first case, since it is the bending of the mounting plate 222, its structural strength is higher and can bear a larger load. In the second case, it is the bending of the side net body 221, and its bending process is simpler, but the strength is slightly lower. Users can choose according to actual conditions and no restrictions are made here.

[0059] It should be understood that the connection between the mounting plate 222 and the side net body 221 may be welding or bolting.

[0060] The same or similar numbers in the drawings of this embodiment correspond to the same or similar parts; in the description of this application, it should be understood that if the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. indicate an orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, it is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms describing the position relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
