[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: an air-cooled screw chiller with shunt filtration of cooling water, including a chiller main body 1 and a treatment tank 2. A connecting pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the treatment tank 2, and a sewage discharge pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the treatment tank 2. A valve is arranged on the surface of the sewage discharge pipe 22 for discharging impurities accumulated inside the treatment tank 2. The chiller main body 1 and the treatment tank 2 are interconnected through a multi-group shunt pipe 3. An external water source is connected through the connecting pipe 21 to inject cooling water into the treatment tank 2, and the cooling water is shunted through the shunt pipe 3 and input into the condenser in the chiller main body 1.

[0033] Refer to Figure 2 - Figure 3 , a filtering component 4 is arranged inside the shunt pipe 3. The filtering component 4 is used to filter impurities entering the shunt pipe 3 to prevent the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser from decreasing. The filtering component 4 includes a filter screen 41, and the filter screen 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall near the end of the shunt pipe 3. The filter screen 41 is used to intercept and filter impurities to prevent them from entering the interior of the condenser. Through holes are formed through the side wall of the filter screen 41, and a driving shaft 42 is rotatably connected in the through holes. An impeller 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the driving shaft 42. The impeller 43 is driven to rotate by the water flow flowing through the shunt pipe 3, thereby driving the driving shaft 42 to rotate.

[0034] Refer to Figure 4, a cavity 44 is formed inside the drive shaft 42. A circular plate 45 is slidably connected inside the cavity 44. The circular plate 45 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the cavity 44 through a return spring 46. The cavity 44 is used to provide a space and track for the installation and movement of the circular plate 45, and the return spring 46 is used to provide a stable elastic support for the circular plate 45, so as to drive the circular plate 45 to move towards the filter screen 41. A plurality of groups of through grooves 47 distributed in an array are formed on the outer wall of the drive shaft 42. A connecting rod 48 is slidably connected inside the through groove 47. The connecting rod 48 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the circular plate 45. A cleaning brush 49 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 48. The through groove 47 is used to communicate the inside and outside of the drive shaft 42, provide a moving track for the connecting rod 48, and drive the connecting rod 48 and the cleaning brush 49 to closely fit with the filter screen 41 through the circular plate 45, so as to drive the cleaning brush 49 to clean the surface of the filter screen 41 through the drive shaft 42, so that the filter screen 41 can continuously provide a filtering function.

[0035] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , a plugging assembly 5 is arranged inside the processing box 2. The plugging assembly 5 is used to divide the processing box 2 into two upper and lower isolated spaces, so that while the processing box 2 removes impurities, the filtering effect on the cooling water is maintained. The plugging assembly 5 includes a support seat 51, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing box 2. There are two groups of support seats 51 arranged symmetrically. A fixed seat 52 is hinged inside the two groups of support seats 51. A semi-circular baffle 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed seat 52. The support seat 51 is used to position the fixed seat 52 and the semi-circular baffle 53, and enable the semi-circular baffle 53 to rotate around the hinge point between the fixed seat 52 and the support seat 51. A complete circle is formed by the two semi-circular baffles 53 and is closely attached to the inner wall of the processing box 2 to play a role in dividing the space. An articulated seat 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the semi-circular baffle 53. A traction plate 55 is hinged to the bottom surface of the articulated seat 54. The bottoms of the two traction plates 55 are hinged to a moving seat 56. The traction plate 55 is used to connect the moving seat 56 and the semi-circular baffle 53 together. By moving the moving seat 56 up and down, the opening and closing of the semi-circular baffle 53 are realized. A through hole is formed on the surface of the moving seat 56, and a threaded rod 57 is threadedly connected in the through hole. The threaded rod 57 passes through and is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the processing box 2. A brake wheel 58 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 57. The brake wheel 58 is used to drive the threaded rod 57 to rotate, so as to realize the movement of the moving seat 56.

[0036] Working principle: When the chiller starts to operate, the connecting pipe 21 introduces external water source into the treatment tank 2, and the cooling water flows into the condenser of the chiller main body 1 through the shunt pipe 3. Inside the shunt pipe 3, the filtering assembly 4 starts to work. The filter screen 41 intercepts and filters out impurities to ensure the purity of the cooling water. At the same time, the water flow in the shunt pipe 3 drives the impeller 43 to rotate. Under the action of the return spring 46, the cleaning brush 49 always keeps close contact with the filter screen 41. The rotation of the drive shaft 42 drives the connecting rod 48 and the cleaning brush 49 to move, and the cleaning brush 49 cleans the surface of the filter screen 41, so as to maintain the filtering efficiency of the filter screen 41.

[0037] Meanwhile, the blocking assembly 5 plays a role inside the treatment tank 2. The support seat 51 and the fixed seat 52 ensure the stability and positioning of the semi-circular baffle 53. When it is necessary to clean the impurities in the treatment tank 2, the brake wheel 58 is operated to drive the threaded rod 57 to rotate, and the moving seat 56 moves up and down accordingly. The traction plate 55 drives the semi-circular baffle 53 to open or close, so as to divide the treatment tank 2 into two isolated spaces. In this way, one space can be used for impurity cleaning, while the other space can still continue to filter the cooling water to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the chiller.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
