Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coolers, and particularly relates to an energy-saving cooler. Background Art

[0002] A cooler is a device used to regulate the temperature of an object or reduce heat, and is widely used in machinery, industry, and electronic equipment. It is mainly used to cool fluids. It absorbs heat from the object and then transfers it to the surrounding environment to achieve the purpose of reducing the temperature of the object. Coolers usually use water or air as coolants to remove heat and ensure that the working medium maintains a rated working temperature.

[0003] In the prior art, a new type of energy-saving cooler disclosed in CN216523323U includes a protective shell and a cooler body. The cooler body is arranged in the inner cavity of the protective shell. An air inlet channel is communicated on the left side of the cooler body, and an air outlet channel is communicated on the right side of the cooler body. Support frames are bolted on both sides of the outer wall of the protective shell, and fixing plates are bolted on the opposite sides of the support frames. By setting a circulating pump to provide a power source, and by setting a cooling tank and a conduit, the coolant in the water tank can be conveyed into the circulating pipe, which enhances the cooling effect of the cooler. By setting the cooperation of a return pipe, the circulated coolant can be conveyed back into the cooling tank again, which will not cause waste of the coolant and can sequentially and circularly cool the cooler body, enabling the cooler body to achieve an energy-saving effect and improving the cooling efficiency of the cooler during operation.

[0004] However, this device still has some problems. Among them, through the cooling tank and the conduit, the coolant in the water tank can be conveyed into the circulating pipe, which enhances the cooling effect of the cooler. By setting the cooperation of the return pipe, the circulated coolant can be conveyed back into the cooling tank again, which will not cause waste of the coolant and can sequentially and circularly cool the cooler body, enabling the cooler body to achieve an energy-saving effect. In the actual use process, each time the circulating water pump is started to supply the coolant, the cooling flow rate is a fixed value. During the cooling operation, the temperature and flow rate of the fluid to be cooled are often not fixed. When cooling a fluid with a relatively low temperature, there is no need for the coolant to flow too fast for cooling. When this situation occurs, the circulating water pump will generate redundant power waste due to high rotation speed, reducing the energy-saving performance of the device. Therefore, we disclose an energy-saving cooler to meet people's needs. Summary of the Utility Model

During the cooling operation, the temperature and flow rate of the fluid being cooled are often not fixed. When cooling a fluid with a relatively low temperature, there is no need for the coolant to flow too fast for cooling. When this situation occurs, the circulating water pump will waste excess electrical energy due to high rotation speed, reducing the energy-saving performance of the device.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 Embodiment 1 provided by the present utility model

[0025] An energy-saving cooler includes a cooling pipe 1. A detection mechanism for detecting a cooling fluid is fixedly installed on one side of the cooling pipe 1, and a flange 2 is fixedly installed on the other side of the cooling pipe 1.

[0026] The detection mechanism includes a detection pipe 3. A flow meter 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the detection pipe 3. A detection port is opened on the surface of the cooling pipe 1. A temperature sensor 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the detection pipe 3, and the probe of the temperature sensor 5 is installed in the detection port. A controller 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the detection pipe 3. The controller 6 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 5. A circulating cooling mechanism is fixedly installed on the surface of the cooling pipe 1. The cooling pipe 1 is used for cooling the fluid. The detection pipe 3 is installed at the inlet end of the cooling pipe 1. The flow meter 4 is a prior art and can detect the flow rate of the fluid inside the pipe, thereby calculating the amount of the fluid. At the same time, the temperature sensor 5 can detect the temperature of the fluid, and the detected data can be transmitted into the controller 6 for display.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the circulating cooling mechanism includes a liquid injection pipe 7. The liquid injection pipe 7 is installed on the surface of the cooling pipe 1. A liquid replacement port is opened on the surface of the liquid injection pipe 7. A liquid replacement pipe 8 is fixedly installed in the liquid replacement port. The other end of the liquid replacement pipe 8 is fixedly installed with a shunt pipe 9. A cooling plate 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the shunt pipe 9. A number of shunt holes are opened on one side of the cooling plate 10. A heat dissipation pipe 12 is fixedly installed in each of the number of shunt holes. The other ends of the number of heat dissipation pipes 12 are fixedly installed with a collecting pipe 13. A delivery port is opened on the other side of the collecting pipe 13. A water pump 14 is fixedly installed in the delivery port. The water outlet end of the water pump 14 is fixedly installed with a liquid guide pipe 15. A liquid guide port is opened on the surface of the liquid injection pipe 7. The other end of the liquid guide pipe 15 is fixedly installed in the liquid guide port. The liquid injection pipe 7 is hollow inside. The liquid replacement port is opened on the upper side of the liquid injection pipe 7. When the water after participating in the cooling passes through the liquid replacement port to reach the liquid replacement pipe 8, and then enters the shunt pipe 9 and the cooling plate 10 through the liquid replacement pipe 8. The cooling plate 10 can cool down the cooling water and perform secondary cooling through the heat dissipation pipes 12. Then it enters the water pump 14 through the collecting pipe 13 and is re-injected into the liquid injection pipe 7 through the liquid guide pipe 15 for use.

[0028] As Figure 3 shown, the controller 6 is electrically connected to the water pump 14. The controller 6 can adjust the rotational speed of the water pump 14, and this adjustment is proportional to the fluid flow rate and temperature.

[0029] When the device is in use, first install the fluid to be cooled on the detection tube 3, and connect the other side of the cooling tube 1 to other equipment. When cooling, the fluid first enters the detection tube 3.

At the same time, the detected fluid flow rate and fluid temperature data are displayed on the controller 6. Through the calculation and processing of the controller 6, the rotational speed of the water pump 14 is controlled. The fluid velocity is proportional to the fluid temperature and the rotational speed of the water pump 14, thereby dynamically adjusting the rotational speed power of the water pump 14, achieving the effect of energy saving.
