[0002] Air cooler, also known as air cooler, condenser, etc., is a commonly used heat exchange equipment in industry. It is divided into wet air cooler and evaporative condenser. It mainly uses ambient air as the cooling medium, and uses the fan to force the air to enter the outside of the swept fin tube to cool the high-temperature process medium in the tube. The industrial exchange device, and the wet air cooler is mainly composed of a heat exchange tube bundle, a fan and a spray device. It mainly uses the spray device to spray water on the heat exchange tube bundle to form a water film, and the evaporation of the water film takes away the heat, thereby achieving cooling. The evaporative condenser is mainly composed of a fan, a heat exchange tube bundle, a spray device, a water collection device, a water tank and a spray pump. It mainly transmits water to the spray device through the spray pump, and the spray device sprays water on the heat exchange tube bundle to form a water film. The water film takes away the heat in the air, thereby cooling the air. When the water evaporates again, part of the unevaporated water will fall into the circulation box and continue to be transmitted by the spray pump, thereby realizing the circulation of water;
[0003] In the above two technical solutions, the air is cooled by spraying. During the spraying process, the water will be affected by the fan and float around. Once the water floats around, it will easily drift outside the machine, thereby causing the loss of water resources and resulting in a waste of water resources. Summary of the invention

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3A wet cooling fan 4 includes a shell 1, a heat exchange tube bundle 2, a plurality of fins 3, a fan 4 and a spray assembly 5, wherein the fin 3 is provided with a plurality of fins which are fixedly connected to the shell 1, and the heat exchange tube bundle 2 is fixedly connected in the shell 1, and extends to the outside of the shell 1 through both ends of the heat exchange tube bundle 2, so as to transport the liquid. When the liquid is transported, the fan 4 which is fixedly connected to the shell 1 is started, and the fan 4 is used to transport the airflow into the fin 3 to cool the fin 3. During the cooling process of the fin 3, the spray assembly 5 is started, and the spray assembly 5 includes a transmission pipe 29 and a spray head 30 which is communicated with the transmission pipe 29. External water is transported into the spray head 30 through the transmission pipe 29, so that the water is sprayed to cool the fin 3, thereby cooling the liquid in the heat exchange tube bundle 2;
[0026] During the process of airflow transmission by the fan 4, since a support frame 8 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 1 between the fan 4 and the air outlet 6, and a plurality of sponge blocks 9 arranged opposite to the fins 3 are vertically slidably connected in the support frame 8, the airflow will carry part of the water into the sponge block 9, and the water is absorbed by the sponge block 9. Since there are gaps 10 between adjacent sponge blocks, the gaps 10 are mainly convenient for airflow circulation, and a plurality of sponge connecting blocks 11 are fixedly connected between the gaps 10, and the sponge connecting blocks 11 are mainly used for absorbing water. When the sponge block 1 7 and the sponge block 2 9 are saturated with water, the water on the sponge block 1 7 and the sponge block 2 9 is collected by disassembling the collecting frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 8 and communicating with the support frame 8, and the filter net 13 is used to filter the water, thereby reducing the waste of water resources caused by water dispersion. When the airflow passes through the sponge block 1 7 and the sponge block 2 9, the airflow is discharged to the outside through the air outlets 6 opened on both sides of the shell 1, thereby realizing the circulation of airflow.
[0027] By fixing a sponge block 3 14 on the inner wall of the shell 1 near one end of the fan 4 and using the sponge block 3 14 to absorb the floating water, the loss of water can be reduced. A storage box 15 with a groove on the top is fixedly connected to the shell 1. After the water is collected by the storage box 15, a water pump 16 fixedly connected to the storage box 15 is connected to the transmission pipe 29 through the connecting pipe 18. Therefore, the water transmitted by the water pump 16 enters the transmission pipe 29 through the transmission pipe 29 to realize the recycling of water. The one-way valve 17 fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 18 can prevent the water from flowing back.
[0028] A sealing strip 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 8. The sealing strip 19 is attached to the top of the collection box 12, so that the sealing effect between the support frame 8 and the collection box 12 can be increased. A positioning block 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sealing strip 19. The positioning block 20 is inserted into a positioning groove 21 provided on the collection box 12, thereby achieving the positioning effect between the support frame 8 and the collection box 12.
[0029] By opening an air outlet channel 22 on the sponge block 7 and communicating with the air outlet 6, air transmission can be achieved, and the air guide pipe 23 that runs through and is fixedly connected to the shell 1 can guide the air.
[0030] The water pump 24 fixedly connected to the collection box 12 can transfer water into the delivery pipe 25 connected thereto, and the delivery pipe 25 transfers water into the delivery pipe 29 connected to the delivery pipe 25, thereby realizing the recycling of water, and the one-way valve 26 fixedly connected to the delivery pipe 25 can prevent the water from flowing back.
[0031] A filter screen 27 is fixedly connected in the storage box 15 to filter the water.
[0032] By connecting the support frame 8 and the collection box 12 through a buckle, it is convenient for personnel to separate the support frame 8 from the collection box 12.
[0033] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
