Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air cooler shells, and more specifically, to a novel ductile iron air cooler shell. Background Art
[0002] A ductile iron air cooler is a device used for engine cooling, usually for internal combustion engines and diesel engines. It is a passive cooling system that does not require an external cooling medium (such as water or coolant) to dissipate heat. Instead, a ductile iron air cooler relies on air flowing over its surface to remove the heat generated by the engine. A ductile iron air cooler is usually composed of a series of iron balls or iron sheets, which help to increase the heat dissipation surface area, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. When the engine is running, air passes through the air cooler, contacts its surface and removes heat, keeping the engine within the appropriate operating temperature range.
[0003] The invention discloses an easy-to-maintain air intake air cooler with publication number CN216159679U. When the air intake shell needs to be disassembled and the device is inspected and maintained, the bolts in the screw holes can be directly unscrewed. Due to the limiting effect of the limiting rod and the limiting groove, the fan can be prevented from falling, and the stability of the air intake shell during disassembly and assembly is guaranteed. The device is easy to disassemble and inspect, thereby improving the practicality and convenience of the device.
[0004] However, in actual use of the above patent, the air intake housing and the air cooling housing are fixed with bolts. If the air cooler is often in a humid, high-temperature environment (such as the seaside, industrial area or chemical plant), environmental factors will cause oxidation reactions on the surface of the bolts to form rust substances. Severely rusted bolts will cause damage to the threads or adhesion of the bolt surface, making it difficult to inspect and disassemble. It is necessary to apply greater force or use special tools, which increases the difficulty and workload of inspection and disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 The novel ductile iron air cooler shell comprises an air cooling shell 1, an air intake shell 2 is arranged on one side of the air cooling shell 1, and a split assembly is arranged between the air cooling shell 1 and the air intake shell 2;
[0032] The disassembly component includes a connecting ring 5, which is located on one side of the air-cooling shell 1 and is fixedly connected to the air-cooling shell 1. A plurality of L-shaped grooves 6 are provided inside the connecting ring 5. Two elastic blocks 14 are fixedly connected inside each L-shaped groove 6. The cross-section of each elastic block 14 is semicircular. A slot is provided at one end of the air intake shell 2 close to the air-cooling shell 1. The connecting ring 5 is plugged into the slot. The disassembly component also includes a limit block 11. A plurality of limit blocks 11 are fixedly connected inside the slot on the air intake shell 2. The plurality of limit blocks 11 are slidably connected to the corresponding L-shaped grooves 6, respectively.
[0033] By setting the disassembly component, the air intake shell 2 can be conveniently removed. Specifically, when the air intake shell 2 needs to be disassembled and repaired, the electric telescopic rod 15 is retracted, and the connecting rod 8 at the bottom of the push block 10 is rotated to disengage the connecting rod 8 from the docking rod 7. At this time, the air intake shell 2 will also be driven to rotate, so that the limit block 11 inside the slot of the air intake shell 2 will be disengaged from the horizontal section of the L-shaped groove 6. When disengaging, the limit block 11 will squeeze the two elastic blocks 14, and the elastic block 14 will be deformed. At this time, the limit block 11 will move to the vertical section of the L-shaped groove 6, and it can be moved out horizontally to complete the disassembly of the air intake shell 2.
[0034] The design of the split assembly can avoid the use of bolt connections, thereby reducing the problem of difficulty in disassembly and maintenance caused by bolt rust after long-term bolt connection in the prior art. The operation is simple, time-saving and labor-saving, and the difficulty and workload of maintenance and disassembly are reduced.
[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 A plurality of connecting grooves 3 are provided on the top of the air-cooling shell 1, two groups of water guide grooves 4 are provided at both ends of the air-cooling shell 1, and the connecting groove 3 is located between the two groups of water guide grooves 4. A driving assembly is provided above the air intake shell 2, and the driving assembly includes a connecting rod 8, and the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the air intake shell 2. A docking rod 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the air-cooling shell 1, and the docking rod 7 is interference fit with the connecting rod 8.
[0036] When the air cooler is used in an external environment, rainwater gathers on the air-cooled shell 1 on rainy days. The rainwater can be guided to the ground in time through the connecting groove 3 and the water guide groove 4, reducing the impact of rainwater on the electronic equipment inside the air-cooled shell 1 and helping to protect the safe operation of the air cooler.
[0037] By setting the driving assembly, the air intake housing 2 can be driven to rotate, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the air intake housing 2.
[0038] Reference Figure 2-Figure 5A push block 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 8, and an auxiliary support assembly is provided on one side of the push block 10. The auxiliary support assembly includes a placement block 9, which is fixedly connected to the air-cooling shell 1. The placement block 9 is located on one side of the connecting rod 8, and an elastic sealing pad 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the placement block 9. An electric telescopic rod 15 is provided inside the placement block 9 and the elastic sealing pad 16.
[0039] By setting up the auxiliary support assembly, the connecting rod 8 can be auxiliary supported to further ensure the stability of the connection between the air intake shell 2 and the air cooling shell 1. Specifically, when the connecting rod 8 is docked with the docking rod 7, an additional supporting force is generated on the connecting rod 8 through the electric telescopic rod 15 to further ensure that the air intake shell 2 will not loosen.
[0040] The elastic sealing pad 16 has a certain elasticity, and can seal the electric telescopic rod 15 without affecting the normal movement of the connecting rod 8 .
[0041] Reference Figure 3-Figure 4 A circular ring 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the air-cooling shell 1 close to the air intake shell 2 , and a sealing ring 13 is arranged inside the circular ring 12 . The width of the sealing ring 13 is greater than that of the circular ring 12 , and the sealing ring 13 contacts one end of the air intake shell 2 .
[0042] The installation position of the sealing ring 13 is exactly located at the connection between the air-cooling housing 1 and the air intake housing 2. When the two are connected, the sealing ring 13 will fill the gap at the connection to ensure that there will be no air leakage at the connection.
[0043] Working principle: When installing the air intake housing 2, insert the limit block 11 of the air intake housing 2 into the inside of the L-shaped groove 6, and then rotate the connecting rod 8 to rotate the limit block 11 from the vertical section of the L-shaped groove 6 to its horizontal section. During the rotation, the elastic block 14 will be squeezed to deform. After the limit block 11 is inserted, the limit block 11 is restored to limit the limit block 11. At this time, the connecting rod 8 is connected to the docking rod 7, and the electric telescopic rod 15 is connected to the connecting rod 8, further ensuring the stability of the connection between the air intake housing 2 and the air cooling housing 1;
[0044] When the air intake housing 2 needs to be disassembled and repaired, the electric telescopic rod 15 is retracted, and the connecting rod 8 at the bottom of the push block 10 is rotated to disengage the connecting rod 8 from the docking rod 7. At this time, the air intake housing 2 is also driven to rotate, so that the limit block 11 inside the slot of the air intake housing 2 is disengaged from the horizontal section of the L-shaped groove 6. When disengaging, the limit block 11 will squeeze the two elastic blocks 14, and the elastic block 14 will be deformed. At this time, the limit block 11 will move to the vertical section of the L-shaped groove 6, and it can be moved out horizontally to complete the disassembly of the air intake housing 2.
