Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air coolers, and particularly to a front panel structure of an air cooler. Background Art

[0002] An air cooler is an energy-efficient cooling device that uses evaporative cooling technology to effectively reduce the indoor temperature through air exchange while providing a fresh air environment. Air coolers are applicable to various places, such as factories, warehouses, offices, etc. Air coolers are not only energy-saving and power-saving, but also easy to install and operate simply, and can quickly improve indoor comfort, making them an ideal choice for summer cooling.

[0003] The front panel of the air cooler has multiple functions such as protecting the internal components of the air cooler, filtering air impurities, guiding air flow, improving safety, facilitating maintenance, and reducing noise. It is an important part to ensure the normal operation of the air cooler and extend its service life. Most of the front panels of air coolers are fixedly installed on the chassis by bolts. When maintaining the air cooler, it is necessary to rotate and remove the bolts to disassemble and remove the front panel, and then the internal components of the chassis can be maintained. After the maintenance is completed, it is necessary to rotate and install the bolts again to install the front panel on the chassis. When maintaining the air cooler, it is necessary to disassemble the front panel first to maintain the air cooler, which affects the maintenance efficiency of the air cooler. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to facilitate the quick maintenance of the air cooler, this application provides a front panel structure of an air cooler.

[0005] A front panel structure of an air cooler provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A front panel structure of an air cooler includes a chassis and a front panel body. On both sides of the front panel body along its own horizontal direction, sleeve bearings are fixedly provided. Plug pins are arranged inside the sleeve bearings. Both of the plug pins are inserted into the chassis. The front panel body is rotatably arranged on the chassis through the sleeve bearings and the plug pins. A telescopic rod is arranged on the chassis and the front panel body. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the chassis, and the other end is connected to the front panel body.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, when it is necessary to maintain the air cooler, rotate and open the front panel body. The front panel body rotates with the plug pin as the rotation axis. During the rotation and opening process of the front panel body, the telescopic rod is driven to extend. When the telescopic rod extends to the maximum stroke, the telescopic rod can pull the front panel body to keep the front panel body in an open state. Rotate the front panel body in the reverse direction again to close the front panel body. With such a setting, it enables the staff to maintain the air cooler without disassembling the front panel body, thus facilitating the staff to quickly maintain the air cooler.

[0008] Preferably, the insertion pin shaft is slidably arranged in the bushing along the axis direction of the bushing. A chute is provided on the side wall of the bushing. A lever is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the insertion pin shaft, and the end of the telescopic rod is detachably and fixedly connected to the front plate body.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the front plate body is in the open state, the insertion pin shaft is driven to slide through the lever. The end of the insertion pin shaft slides out of the chassis and slides into the bushing, so that the rotating connection part of the front plate body can be separated from the chassis. Then, the telescopic rod is detached from the front plate body, and the front plate body can be detached from the chassis, which is convenient for repairing and replacing the front plate body.

[0010] Preferably, an elastic member is arranged in the bushing. One end of the elastic member abuts against the end of the bushing, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the insertion pin shaft away from the chassis.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic member in the bushing can push the insertion pin shaft to move towards the inside of the chassis, so that the insertion pin shaft is not easy to slide in the bushing during the rotation of the front plate body, and thus the insertion pin shaft is not easy to slip out of the chassis.

[0012] Preferably, a reinforcing frame is fixedly arranged on the front plate body. A first support seat is detachably and fixedly arranged on the reinforcing frame. The end of the telescopic rod is rotatably arranged in the first support seat.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the first support seat is detached from the reinforcing frame, and the telescopic rod can be separated from the front plate body. The reinforcing frame strengthens the connection part between the telescopic rod and the front plate body, so that the telescopic rod is more stable during use.

[0014] Preferably, a reinforcing seat is fixedly arranged in the chassis. A second support seat is detachably and fixedly arranged on the reinforcing seat. The end of the telescopic rod away from the first support seat is rotatably arranged in the second support seat.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the second support seat is detached from the reinforcing seat, and the telescopic rod can be separated from the chassis. The reinforcing seat strengthens the connection part between the telescopic rod and the chassis, so that the telescopic rod is more stable during use.

[0016] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is fixedly installed in the chassis. The insertion pin shaft passes through the reinforcing plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing plate strengthens the part where the insertion pin shaft passes through the chassis, making the rotation of the front plate body more stable.

[0018] Preferably, a plurality of air suction holes are spaced apart on the front plate body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the suction holes formed on the front plate body facilitate the cold air blower to suck external air into the chassis, thereby facilitating the cooling of the cold air blower.

[0020] Preferably, edge guards are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the front plate body, and a filter screen is arranged between the two edge guards.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the filter screen filters the external air sucked by the cold air blower, making it difficult for impurities to enter the cold air blower. The two edge guards limit the filter screen, making the installation of the filter screen more stable.

[0022] Preferably, a handle is fixedly arranged on the front plate body.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, using the handle facilitates the staff to open and close the front plate body.

[0024] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. By utilizing the rotatable front plate body, when maintenance of the cold air blower is required, the front plate body is rotated and opened. The front plate body rotates with the insertion pin shaft as the rotation axis. During the rotation and opening process of the front plate body, the telescopic rod is driven to extend. When the telescopic rod extends to the maximum stroke, the telescopic rod can pull the front plate body, making the front plate body maintain an open state. Rotating the front plate body in the reverse direction again can close the front plate body. In this way, the staff can maintain the cold air blower without disassembling the front plate body, thus facilitating the staff to quickly maintain the cold air blower;

[0026] 2. With the help of the lever, when the front plate body is in the open state, the insertion pin shaft is driven to slide through the lever. The end of the insertion pin shaft slides out of the chassis and slides into the shaft sleeve, enabling the rotation connection of the front plate body to be separated from the chassis. Then, by disassembling the telescopic rod from the front plate body, the front plate body can be disassembled and removed from the chassis, thus facilitating the repair and replacement of the front plate body;

[0027] 3. Through the elastic member, the elastic member in the shaft sleeve can push the insertion pin shaft towards the inside of the chassis, making it difficult for the insertion pin shaft to slide in the shaft sleeve during the rotation of the front plate body, so that the insertion pin shaft is not easily disengaged from the inside of the chassis.

[0036] The following further elaborates on this application Figures 1-7 in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0037] The embodiment of this application discloses a front panel structure of an air cooler.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 , a front panel structure of an air cooler includes a chassis 1 and a front panel body 2. The front panel body 2 is installed on the chassis 1, and handles 17 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer side wall of the air cooler along its horizontal direction. A plurality of suction holes 14 are spaced apart on the front panel body 2, and the air cooler can suck external air into the chassis 1 through the suction holes 14 to facilitate cooling the air cooler.

[0039] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , two sliding sleeves are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner side wall of the air cooler close to the inside of the chassis 1 by bolts. The two sliding sleeves are located on both sides of the front panel body 2 along the horizontal direction. The sliding sleeves are installed horizontally, and an inserted pin shaft 4 is slidably installed in each sliding sleeve. Reinforcing plates 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the box body where the two inserted pin shafts 4 are away from each other. The end parts of the two inserted pin shafts 4 away from each other respectively pass through the box body and the two reinforcing plates 13. At this time, the inserted pin shaft 4 serves as the rotating shaft of the front panel body 2, so that the front panel body 2 is rotatably installed on the chassis 1.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6, two reinforcing frames 9 are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the front plate body 2 along its width direction. The reinforcing frames 9 are installed vertically, and the bottom ends of the reinforcing frames 9 are detachably fixedly installed with a first support seat 10 through bolts.

[0041] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , reinforcing seats 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the chassis 1 in the width direction of the front plate body 2. A second support seat 12 is detachably fixedly installed on the reinforcing seats 11 through bolts. A telescopic rod 5 is installed on the first support seat 10 and the second support seat 12. In this application, the telescopic rod 5 can be selected as a pneumatic strut, and both ends of the telescopic rod 5 are rotatably connected to the first support seat 10 and the second support seat 12 respectively.

[0042] When the front plate body 2 is in the closed state, the telescopic rod 5 is in the contracted state and limits the front plate body 2, so that the front plate body 2 will not rotate. When the cooling fan needs to be maintained, the staff pulls the front plate body 2 to rotate through two handles 17. The front plate body 2 rotates and opens with the insertion pin shaft 4 as the rotation axis. During the rotation and opening process of the front plate body 2, the telescopic rod 5 is gradually stretched. When the telescopic rod 5 is stretched to the maximum stroke, the telescopic rod 5 pulls the front plate body 2, so that the front plate body 2 remains in the open state (refer to Figure 7 ).

[0043] The front plate body 2 can be rotated and opened, so that the staff can maintain the cooling fan without disassembling the front plate body 2, which is convenient for the staff to quickly maintain the cooling fan. After the maintenance of the cooling fan is completed, rotate the front plate body 2 upward, and the front plate body 2 can be quickly closed.

[0044] During the rotation of the front plate body 2, the reinforcing plate 13 strengthens the place where the insertion pin shaft 4 passes through the chassis 1, the reinforcing frame 9 strengthens the connection between the telescopic rod 5 and the front plate body 2, and the reinforcing seat 11 strengthens the connection between the telescopic rod 5 and the chassis 1, so that the rotation of the front plate body 2 is more stable.

[0045] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a chute 6 is opened in the middle of the outer side wall of the sliding sleeve. A dial rod 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the insertion pin shaft 4. The dial rod 7 is perpendicular to the insertion pin shaft 4, and the dial rod 7 is slidably installed in the chute 6 along the sliding direction of the insertion pin shaft 4. An elastic member 8 is installed inside the sliding sleeve on the side of the insertion pin shaft 4 away from the reinforcing plate 13. One end of the elastic member 8 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve, and the other end abuts against the end wall of the insertion pin shaft 4 away from the reinforcing plate 13. In this application, the elastic member 8 can be selected as a spring.

[0046] During the rotation of the front plate body 2, the elastic member 8 pushes the insertion pin shaft 4 to move towards the direction close to the reinforcement plate 13, so that the insertion pin shaft 4 can be stably located within the reinforcement plate 13. When it is necessary to repair and replace the front plate body 2, first open the front plate body 2, then remove the first support seat 10 from the reinforcement frame 9, and finally move the lever 7 in the direction away from the reinforcement plate 13. The lever 7 drives the insertion pin shaft 4 to move out of the reinforcement plate 13 and the chassis 1, and the insertion pin shaft 4 moves into the sliding sleeve. At this time, the front plate body 2 can be removed from the chassis 1, thus facilitating the repair and replacement of the front plate body 2. Then remove the second support seat 12 from the reinforcement seat 11, and the telescopic rod 5 can be removed from the box body, thus facilitating the repair and replacement of the telescopic rod 5.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , on the upper and lower sides of the inner side wall of the front plate body 2, there are bent edges 15 formed. A filter screen 16 is installed on the inner side wall of the front plate body 2 and between the two bent edges 15. The filter screen 16 filters the outside air inhaled by the cooling fan, making it difficult for impurities to enter the cooling fan. The two bent edges 15 limit the filter screen 16, making the installation of the filter screen 16 more stable.

[0048] The implementation principle of the front plate structure of a cooling fan in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: When it is necessary to maintain the cooling fan, the staff pulls the front plate body 2 to rotate through two handles 17. The front plate body 2 rotates and opens with the insertion pin shaft 4 as the rotation axis. During the rotation and opening process of the front plate body 2, the telescopic rod 5 is gradually stretched. When the telescopic rod 5 is stretched to the maximum stroke, the telescopic rod 5 pulls the front plate body 2, so that the front plate body 2 remains in the open state. The front plate body 2 can be rotated and opened, enabling the staff to maintain the cooling fan without disassembling the front plate body 2, which is convenient for the staff to quickly maintain the cooling fan.

[0049] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application. It does not limit the protection scope of the present application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
