Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to a water-cooled tower fan ventilation structure. [Background technology]

[0002] Tower fans are a popular household appliance that are loved by consumers for their slender design and soft wind feeling. They generate airflow through a motor-driven crossflow impeller, which delivers even and soft air, close to natural wind. Tower fans are usually designed to be small in size, save space, and have a higher safety factor because they usually have no exposed blades. Tower fans have small grilles and are suitable for families with children to avoid accidental injuries.

[0003] However, the existing tower fan design usually has only one air inlet surface, which may result in a relatively small amount of air intake. The working principle of the tower fan is to generate airflow through the rotation of the internal crossflow impeller. This design enables the tower fan to produce a relatively soft and natural wind-like air supply effect; however, since there is only one air inlet surface, the tower fan may not have as good air intake as an ordinary fan with multiple air inlets. In view of this, we have improved the tower fan ventilation structure to increase the air intake. [Utility Model Content]

[0004] In order to solve at least one of the above problems, the utility model proposes a new structural solution. The water-cooled tower fan ventilation structure adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The water cooling device includes a water pump, a wet curtain net, a water receiving box and a water tank. The water receiving box is arranged between the wet curtain net and the water tank. The water pump is placed in the water tank. The liquid in the water tank is drained to the wet curtain net through the water pump. The water receiving box is provided with a water cavity to hold the liquid flowing out of the wet curtain net, and the water cavity is provided with a through hole to allow the liquid in the water cavity to flow back into the water tank.

[0008] Preferably, the cavity of the fuselage is arranged vertically so that the wind wheel is vertically mounted in the cavity.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can also be a mechanical connection; it can be directly connected, or connected through an intermediate medium, and can be internally connected and communicated between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] The technical solutions and their beneficial effects of the present utility model will be made clearer and more definite by further describing the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0021] A preferred embodiment provided by the present utility model is as follows: As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a water-cooled tower fan ventilation structure includes a fuselage 1, a wind wheel 2, and a water-cooling device 3; the fuselage 1 has a cavity 11, and the cavity 11 of the fuselage 1 is vertically arranged so that the wind wheel 2 is vertically installed in the cavity 11, reducing the occupation of the lateral space of the tower fan. Ventilation surfaces 12 are provided on both the left and right sides of the fuselage 1, and a number of through holes are arranged on the ventilation surfaces 12 for air to enter the fuselage 1. An air outlet window 13 and an air inlet window 14 are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the fuselage 1, and both the air outlet window 13 and the air inlet window 14 communicate with the cavity 11; a wind guide plate 15 is installed in the cavity 11 to guide the air flow from the ventilation surface 12 and the air inlet window 14 to the wind wheel 2.

[0022] The water-cooling device 3 includes a water pump 4, a wet curtain net 5, a water receiving box 6, and a water tank 7. The wet curtain net 5 uses a wet film material with an existing composite corrugated vertical cross structure. The water receiving box 6 is arranged between the wet curtain net 5 and the water tank 7. The water pump 4 is placed in the water tank 7, and the liquid in the water tank 7 is drained to the wet curtain net 5 through the water pump 4; the water receiving box 6 is provided with a water cavity 61 for holding the liquid flowing out of the wet curtain net 5, and through holes are provided in the water cavity 61 to enable the liquid in the water cavity 61 to flow back into the water tank 7.

[0023] The fuselage 1 includes a front fuselage 16 and a rear fuselage 17. The ventilation surface 12 and the air inlet window 14 are both provided on the rear fuselage 17, and the air outlet window 13 is provided on the front fuselage 16. A wet curtain support frame 8 is installed on the air outlet window 13. The wet curtain support frame 8 is provided with a cavity 81 for placing the wet curtain net 5. An inlet water groove 82 is provided at the top of the wet curtain support frame 8, and through holes are provided in the inlet water groove 82 to enable the inlet water groove 82 to communicate with the cavity 81. A slot 18 is provided at the bottom end of the air inlet window 14, and the wet curtain support frame 8 extends out a plug 83, and the wet curtain support frame 8 is installed on the rear fuselage 17 by connecting the plug 83 with the slot 18; a proximity switch 84 is provided at the top end of the air inlet window 14, and the proximity switch 84 is connected to the main circuit switch. The wet curtain support frame 8 and the rear fuselage 17 are connected by a snap connection method. When the top end of the wet curtain support frame 8 is inserted into the air inlet window 14, the proximity switch 84 detects that the air inlet window 14 is closed, and at this time the whole machine can operate; when the top end of the wet curtain support frame 8 is disengaged from the air inlet window 14, the proximity switch 84 detects that the air inlet window 14 is in an open state, and at this time the whole machine stops operating.

[0024] To solve the problem that the traditional tower fan has only a single air inlet surface, resulting in a small air intake, the utility model proposes a water-cooled tower fan ventilation structure. In this structure, on the basis of having an air inlet window 14, the rear body 17 is also provided with ventilation surfaces 12 on both sides, further increasing the air inlet area, thereby improving the air intake. At the same time, to enhance the cooling effect of the tower fan, a water-cooling device 3 is installed on the body 1. When operating, the water pump 4 pumps the liquid in the water tank 7 through a conduit to the water inlet tank 82 of the wet curtain grid 8, and the liquid in the water inlet tank 82 drips into the liquid dripping cavity 81 to wet the wet curtain net 5. Meanwhile, in cooperation with the air flow entering through the air inlet window 14 and the ventilation surfaces 12 and passing through the cavity 11, the heat is taken away by the evaporation of the liquid, thereby reducing the temperature of the air flow blown out of the air outlet window 13 and achieving the cooling effect. The water flowing out of the wet curtain net 5 falls back into the water cavity 61 of the water receiving box 6 and flows back into the water tank 7 along the through holes in the water cavity 61 for the next cycle.

The schematic expressions of the above terms in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
