Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchange devices, in particular to an expandable top-separated evaporation cooling device. Background Technique

[0002] An evaporation cooling device is a device that cools air or other media through the evaporation of water. Utilizing the principle that water absorbs a large amount of heat during the evaporation process, the effect of temperature reduction is achieved.

[0003] The patent with the publication number CN205940200U discloses an evaporation cooling device, which solves the technical problems of poor heat exchange effect, high cost, and low automation degree; the heat exchange device includes a box body, a coil pipe, and a spray tray. An air extraction port is provided at the top of the box body. The spray tray is located between the air extraction port and the coil pipe. The side parts of the box body are respectively provided with a feed port and a discharge port. The feed end of the coil pipe is hermetically connected to the feed port of the box body, and the discharge end of the coil pipe is hermetically connected to the discharge port of the box body. An exhaust fan is hermetically connected to the air extraction port. A water tank is correspondingly connected to the box body. The side parts of the water tank are respectively provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water outlet is hermetically connected to a water pump. The water pump passes through the top of the box body through a pipeline and is hermetically connected to the spray tray. And a filter packing plate is installed at the connection between the water tank and the box body. The water pump and the exhaust fan are both connected to a central processor. A touch screen is connected to the central processor, and the coil pipe is located above the filter packing plate.

[0004] The above device does not have the function of top separation. Since the top cannot be opened, it is difficult to access the internal key components such as the coil pipe, the spray tray, and the filter packing plate, increasing the difficulty of maintenance. The cleaning work needs to disassemble the entire box body or be carried out through a narrow opening, which is both time-consuming and inconvenient. When it is necessary to increase the heat exchange capacity or upgrade the system, it is also impossible to achieve expansion by simply replacing or adding top modules, making the entire device need to be redesigned or replaced, increasing the difficulty and cost of expansion. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an expandable top-separated evaporation cooling device to solve the technical problems put forward in the above background technique, that is, it does not have the function of top separation. Since the top cannot be opened, it is difficult to access the internal key components such as the coil pipe, the spray tray, and the filter packing plate, increasing the difficulty of maintenance. The cleaning work needs to disassemble the entire box body or be carried out through a narrow opening, which is both time-consuming and inconvenient.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An expandable top-separated evaporation cooling device includes a lower cylinder. The lower surface of the inner part of the lower cylinder is in a flared shape and is connected and installed with a drain pipe. The upper surface of the lower cylinder is in an expanded shape and its interior can allow a cooling mechanism to slide into the lower cylinder, and at the same time, it is surrounded by a square ring pipe. The square ring pipe is fixedly installed inside the lower cylinder. One end of the square ring pipe is connected and installed with a docking pipe, and the docking pipe penetrates out of the lower cylinder. The inner side of the outer surface of the square ring pipe is connected and installed with a sprinkler head, and the sprinkler head is located at the upper end of the cooling mechanism.

[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, one end of the lower cylinder is connected and installed with an exhaust pipe, and an exhaust fan is fixedly installed inside the exhaust pipe.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cooling mechanism. A lifting handle is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate. A cylinder column is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate. A motor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the inner part of the cylinder column. One end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly installed with a fan blade, and the fan blade is rotatably installed inside the cylinder column and faces the cooling mechanism.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the cooling mechanism includes a square frame plate. The square frame plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting plate. A connecting arm is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the square frame plate. A heat exchange pipe is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting arm. The square frame plate can drive the heat exchange pipe to slide into the lower cylinder and is surrounded by the square ring pipe.

[0011] As a further preferred solution of the present invention, one end of the heat exchange pipe is connected and installed with a water inlet and a water outlet, and both the water inlet and the water outlet of the heat exchange pipe penetrate out of the square frame plate.

[0012] As a further preferred solution of the present invention, locking tongues are fixedly installed on both sides of the square frame plate. The locking tongues can be sleeved inside a locking buckle, and the locking buckle is fixedly installed at one end of the lower cylinder.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the expandable top-separated evaporation cooling device of the present invention are as follows:

[0014] By using a water pump to supply water into the docking pipe, the water enters the square ring pipe through the docking pipe and is sprayed out from the sprinkler head. The water sprayed out from the sprinkler head will fall on the surface of the cooling mechanism. At the same time, the motor inside the cylinder column of the connecting plate will drive the fan blade to blow air into the lower cylinder to promote air flow, so that the air enters from the top and is blown across the surface of the cooling mechanism wetted by water. When the air contacts the wetted surface of the cooling mechanism, the water will start to evaporate, and this process will absorb the heat in the air, thereby reducing the temperature of the air. The cooled air is inside the lower cylinder, and the exhaust fan in the exhaust pipe can extract and discharge the cold air for places that need to be cooled.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; it can be the communication inside two elements; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium.

[0025] See Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, an expandable top-separated evaporative cooling device in an embodiment of the present utility model includes a lower half cylinder 1. The lower surface of the inner part of the lower half cylinder 1 is in a necked shape and is connected and installed with a drain pipe 102. The upper surface of the lower half cylinder 1 is in an expanded shape and the inside can allow a cooling mechanism 3 to slide into the lower half cylinder 1, and at the same time, it is surrounded by a square annular pipe 401. The square annular pipe 401 is fixedly installed inside the lower half cylinder 1, one end of the square annular pipe 401 is connected and installed with a docking pipe 4, and the docking pipe 4 penetrates out of the lower half cylinder 1. The inner side of the outer surface of the square annular pipe 401 is connected and installed with a sprinkler head 402, and the sprinkler head 402 is located at the upper end of the cooling mechanism 3.

[0026] One end of the lower half cylinder 1 is connected and installed with an exhaust pipe 101, and an exhaust fan is fixedly installed inside the exhaust pipe 101.

[0027] A connecting plate 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the cooling mechanism 3. A lifting handle 204 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 2. A cylinder column 201 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 2. A motor 202 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the inner part of the cylinder column 201. One end of the output shaft of the motor 202 is fixedly installed with a fan blade 203, and the fan blade 203 is rotatably installed inside the cylinder column 201 and is opposite to the cooling mechanism 3.

[0028] During use, water can be supplied into the docking pipe 4 by using a water pump, so that the water enters the square ring pipe 401 through the docking pipe 4 and is sprayed out from the sprinkler head 402. The water sprayed out from the sprinkler head 402 will fall on the surface of the cooling mechanism 3. At the same time, the motor 202 in the cylinder column 201 of the connecting plate 2 will drive the fan blade 203 to blow air downward into the lower half cylinder 1 to promote air flow, so that the air enters from the top and is blown across the surface of the cooling mechanism 3 wetted by water. When the air contacts the wetted surface of the cooling mechanism 3, the water begins to evaporate, and this process will absorb the heat in the air, thereby reducing the temperature of the air. The cooled air is in the lower half cylinder 1, and the exhaust fan in the exhaust pipe 101 can extract and discharge the cold air for places that need to be cooled down.

[0029] When it is necessary to increase the heat exchange capacity or upgrade the system, the locking end of the cooling mechanism 3 can be pushed open, enabling the staff to lift out the cooling mechanism 3 on the lower surface of the connecting plate 2 from the lower half cylinder 1 through the lifting handle 204, realizing the function of top separation. This allows the staff to disassemble, take out, and replace the cooling mechanism 3 on the lower surface of the connecting plate 2. Moreover, it also enables the staff to easily access the key components of the cooling mechanism 3, making cleaning, inspection, and maintenance more convenient without having to disassemble the entire device. Additionally, scale or dirt is likely to accumulate on the surface of the cooling mechanism 3, and the top separation function makes it simple to clean these contaminants, which can extend the service life of the device and maintain the heat exchange efficiency.

[0030] As Figure 3 - Figure 4 shown, the cooling mechanism 3 includes a square frame plate 303, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting plate 2. A connecting arm 305 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the square frame plate 303, and a heat exchange tube 304 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting arm 305. The square frame plate 303 can drive the heat exchange tube 304 to slide and insert into the lower half cylinder 1 and is surrounded by the square ring pipe 401.

[0031] One end of the heat exchange tube 304 is connected and installed with a water inlet 306 and a water outlet 307, and both the water inlet 306 and the water outlet 307 of the heat exchange tube 304 penetrate out from within the square frame plate 303.

[0032] Lock tongues 302 are fixedly installed on both sides of the square frame plate 303, and the lock tongues 302 can be sleeved within the lock catches 301, and the lock catches 301 are fixedly installed at one end of the lower half cylinder 1.

[0033] When the water sprayed from the sprinkler 402 falls on the surface of the heat exchange tube 304, the motor 202 in the cylinder column 201 of the connecting plate 2 will drive the fan blade 203 to blow air downward into the lower half cylinder 1 to promote air flow, so that the air enters from the top and is blown over the surface of the heat exchange tube 304 wetted by water. When the air contacts the wetted surface of the heat exchange tube 304, the water will start to evaporate, and this process will absorb the heat in the air, thereby reducing the temperature of the air. The cooled air is in the lower half cylinder 1, and the exhaust fan in the exhaust pipe 101 can extract and discharge the cold air for places that need to be cooled. During the process of water falling on the surface of the heat exchange tube 304, the staff can also use a water pump to supply coolant into the water inlet 306 of the heat exchange tube 304. After the coolant passes through a cycle of the heat exchange tube 304, it will be discharged from the water outlet 307 and cooled, and then it will be supplied into the water inlet 306 by the water pump again to form a closed loop. By continuously supplying coolant to the heat exchange tube 304, the temperature of the surface of the heat exchange tube 304 can be kept relatively low, ensuring that the water can effectively absorb the heat in the air when evaporating on the surface, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency. And the flow of the coolant can help take away the heat on the surface of the heat exchange tube 304, so that the heat exchange performance of the heat exchange tube 304 remains in the best state, avoiding the decrease of heat exchange efficiency caused by too high temperature.

[0034] When it is necessary to increase the heat exchange capacity or upgrade the system, the push lock 301 can be taken out from the outer surface of the lock tongue 302, and the pressing force applied to the connecting plate 2 is released. Then the staff can lift out the square frame plate 303 on the lower surface of the connecting plate 2 from the lower half cylinder 1 through the lifting handle 204. The square frame plate 303 will drive the heat exchange tube 304 fixedly installed on the lower surface to be lifted out of the lower half cylinder 1 together, realizing the function of top separation. Then the staff can disassemble and remove the connecting arm 305 in the square frame plate 303. After the connecting arm 305 is disassembled, the heat exchange tube 304 can be pulled out of the square frame plate 303 to select and replace a new cooling device, and it also enables the staff to easily access key components such as the heat exchange tube 304, making cleaning, inspection and maintenance more convenient.

[0035] Working principle of the embodiment of the present utility model: During use, water can be supplied into the docking pipe 4 by using a water pump, enabling the water to enter the square ring pipe 401 through the docking pipe 4 and be sprayed out from the sprinkler head 402. The water sprayed out from the sprinkler head 402 will fall on the surface of the heat exchange pipe 304. At the same time, the motor 202 in the cylinder column 201 of the connecting plate 2 will drive the fan blade 203 to blow air downward into the lower half cylinder 1 to promote air flow, causing the air to enter from the top and be blown across the surface of the heat exchange pipe 304 wetted by water. When the air contacts the wetted surface of the heat exchange pipe 304, the water will start to evaporate, and this process will absorb the heat in the air, thereby reducing the temperature of the air. The cooled air is in the lower half cylinder 1, and the exhaust fan in the exhaust pipe 101 can extract and discharge the cold air for places where cooling is required. During the process of water falling on the surface of the heat exchange pipe 304, the staff can also use a water pump to supply coolant into the water inlet 306 of the heat exchange pipe 304. After the coolant passes through one cycle of the heat exchange pipe 304, it will be discharged from the water outlet 307 and be cooled, and then will be supplied into the water inlet 306 again by the water pump to form a closed loop. By continuously supplying coolant to the heat exchange pipe 304, the temperature of the surface of the heat exchange pipe 304 can be kept relatively low, ensuring that the water can effectively absorb the heat in the air when evaporating on the surface.

[0036] Moreover, when it is necessary to increase the heat exchange capacity or upgrade the system, the push lock 301 can be taken out from the outer surface of the lock tongue 302, releasing the pressing force applied to the connecting plate 2. Then, the staff can lift out the square frame plate 303 on the lower surface of the connecting plate 2 from the lower half cylinder 1 through the lifting handle 204. The square frame plate 303 will drive the heat exchange pipe 304 fixedly installed on the lower surface to be lifted out of the lower half cylinder 1 together, realizing the function of top separation. Then, the staff can disassemble and remove the connecting arm 305 in the square frame plate 303. After the connecting arm 305 is disassembled, the heat exchange pipe 304 can be pulled out from the square frame plate 303 to select and replace a new cooling device. After the new cooling device is replaced, the square frame plate 303 on the lower surface of the connecting plate 2 can be slid back into the lower half cylinder 1. Subsequently, the staff can buckle the lock 301 on the outer surface of the lower half cylinder 1 onto the outer surface of the lock tongue 302, applying a pulling and fixing force to the slid-in connecting plate 2 to complete the installation operation.

[0037] In summary, the embodiment of the present utility model realizes the function of top separation, enabling the system to be flexibly upgraded or expanded, and also enabling the staff to more conveniently clean the heat exchange pipe 304, which can extend the service life of the equipment and maintain the heat exchange efficiency without the need to disassemble the entire equipment.

[0038] The basic principle of the present invention has been shown and described above. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. The descriptions in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrate the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
