Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water tanks for refrigeration, in particular to a water tank for a cooling fan. Background Art

[0002] Existing air coolers include a water tank for storing liquid and a compressor for refrigeration. The compressor is usually arranged on the top of the water tank, so that the compressor is suspended above the water tank, and the bottom of the compressor is far away from the bottom wall of the water tank, so that the center of gravity of the compressor is far away from the bottom wall of the water tank, which affects the placement stability of the air cooler. In addition, the compressor is suspended above the water tank, which occupies a large installation space, and the height of the whole air cooler is relatively high. For example, Chinese Patent No. ZL202120796015.9 discloses an air cooler, including: a shell, the shell having an air outlet and an air duct, the air duct is arranged in the shell, the air duct has an air supply port corresponding to the air outlet, and an extension plate is provided at the air supply port, one end of the extension plate is connected to the inner wall of the air supply port, and the other end extends in a direction away from the center of the air supply port and close to the air outlet. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a water tank for an air cooler. An assembly cavity for accommodating a compressor is provided in the water tank body, and the compressor is arranged on the top structure of the water tank, so that the center of gravity of the compressor is close to the bottom wall of the water tank, thereby improving the placement stability of the air cooler. The lower part of the compressor is located in the water tank, which is conducive to saving installation space for the compressor, thereby reducing the overall height of the air cooler, and further reducing the transportation cost and packaging cost of the air cooler.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0005] A water tank for an air cooler includes a box body, an assembly cavity for mounting a compressor is provided on the box body, the assembly cavity is protruded upward along the bottom wall of the box body and is arranged in the inner cavity of the box body, the outer surface of the assembly cavity forms a baffle covering the outer peripheral side of the compressor, a support plate for supporting the compressor is provided in the assembly cavity, and the compressor is limitedly installed on the assembly cavity. The lower part of the compressor is sunken in the box body, which reduces the center of gravity of the whole machine, saves the installation space of the compressor, and reduces the height of the whole machine.

[0006] The support plate divides the assembly cavity into a receiving cavity for accommodating the compressor and a drainage cavity. The support plate is provided with a drainage hole connected to the drainage cavity. If the liquid in the box body enters the assembly cavity for some reason, the assembly cavity discharges the accumulated water through the drainage hole to avoid water storage in the assembly cavity and damage to the compressor.

[0007] A positioning groove is provided on the support plate, a positioning ear is provided on the compressor, an elastic support member and a fastener are provided on the positioning ear, and the fastener is inserted through the positioning ear and the elastic support member; when the compressor is installed on the assembly cavity, the elastic support member is limited on the positioning groove, one end of the fastener is inserted through the positioning groove, the positioning ear of the compressor is supported on the elastic support member, and the bottom of the compressor is suspended on the support plate, so that the compressor is elastically supported on the support plate. The bottom of the compressor is suspended on the support plate. When the liquid in the box enters the assembly cavity, the bottom of the compressor will not come into contact with the water. In addition, the bottom of the compressor is elastically supported on the support plate, which is beneficial to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the compressor when the compressor is running.

[0008] The bottom of the support plate is provided with reinforcing ribs for increasing its load-bearing strength to prevent the bottom of the support plate from deformation.

[0009] The height of the support plate in the assembly cavity is greater than the height of the bottom wall of the box body, and the height of the support plate in the assembly cavity is less than the height of the top of the box body, so that the bottom of the compressor is close to the bottom wall of the box body, and the lower part of the compressor is sunken in the box body, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the whole machine, saving compressor installation space, and reducing the height of the whole machine.

[0010] A partition is provided in the box body, which divides the inner cavity of the box body into two first water storage chambers and a second water storage chamber. An overflow groove is provided between the first water storage chamber and the second water storage chamber. The height of the assembly cavity protrusion set on the box body is H1, which is greater than the height of the overflow groove on the box body, H2, H1>H2, so as to prevent the liquid in the box body from entering the assembly cavity.

[0011] A baffle is provided on the overflow trough, and an overflow notch is provided on the baffle. The height of the liquid position in the first water storage chamber reaches the overflow notch, and the liquid in the first water storage chamber enters the second water storage chamber through the overflow notch. The inner cavity of the water tank is divided into two water storage chambers. The liquid dripping from the condenser tube of the air cooler first enters the first water storage chamber through the overflow trough. When the water level in the first water storage chamber is high, the overflow of the first water storage chamber enters the second water storage chamber through the overflow trough. When the water level in the second water storage chamber is high, the overflow of the first water storage chamber flows to the first water storage chamber again, which effectively increases the time for the liquid to stand in the water tank. The liquid is naturally cooled in the second water storage chamber, thereby improving the energy-saving effect of the air cooler.

[0012] The bottom wall of the overflow trough is inclined, and the height of one end of the bottom wall of the overflow trough close to the first water storage chamber is lower than the height of the other end of the bottom wall of the overflow trough close to the second water storage chamber.

[0013] A dividing block is arranged on the overflow trough, which divides the overflow trough into two interval-arranged first overflow trough sections and second overflow trough sections, each overflow trough section is provided with an overflow notch, and one end of the dividing block abuts against the outer side of the assembly cavity.

[0014] The volume of the first water storage chamber is greater than the volume of the second water storage chamber.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0016] An assembly cavity for accommodating a compressor is provided in the water tank body. The compressor is arranged on the top structure of the water tank, so that the center of gravity of the compressor is close to the bottom wall of the water tank, which improves the placement stability of the air cooler. The lower part of the compressor is located in the water tank, which is conducive to saving installation space for the compressor, thereby reducing the overall height of the air cooler, further reducing the transportation cost and packaging cost of the air cooler, and improving corporate benefits.
