[0036] Air-suspended water-cooling units include an air supply system for the compressor, consisting of an air supply tank and a liquid supply assembly. In related art, air-suspended water-cooling units employ an inclined layout, with the evaporator positioned diagonally above the condenser, and the air supply system and economizer positioned below the evaporator. However, in related art, the air supply system and economizer elevate the evaporator, increasing its height and resulting in the water-cooling unit occupying a significant amount of space.

[0037] In order to solve the problem in the related art that the evaporator of the water cooling unit is relatively high, resulting in a large height space occupied by the water cooling unit, the present application provides a water cooling unit.

[0038] Combine Figure 1 As shown, the water cooling unit provided in this application includes an evaporator 100 , a condenser 200 , an air supply system 300 and an economizer 400 .

[0039] The evaporator 100 and the condenser 200 are arranged side by side in a horizontal manner. That is, the evaporator 100 and the condenser 200 are arranged side by side horizontally.

[0040] The gas supply system 300 includes a gas supply tank 301 , wherein the gas supply tank 301 and the economizer 400 are respectively disposed above the evaporator 100 and / or the condenser 200 .

[0041] The gas supply tank 301 and the economizer 400 can be arranged in a variety of ways: the gas supply tank 301 can be arranged above the evaporator 100, and the economizer 400 can be arranged above the condenser 200; alternatively, the gas supply tank 301 can be arranged above the condenser 200, and the economizer 400 can be arranged above the evaporator 100; alternatively, the gas supply tank 301 and the economizer 400 can be arranged above the evaporator 100; alternatively, the gas supply tank 301 and the economizer 400 can be arranged above the condenser 200. The arrangement of the gas supply tank 301 and the economizer 400 can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0042] When the above technical solution is adopted, the evaporator 100 and condenser 200 of the water-cooling unit provided by the present application are arranged horizontally and side by side, and the air supply tank 301 of the air supply system 300 and the condenser 200 are arranged above the evaporator 100 and / or the condenser 200. This arrangement prevents the air supply system 300 from raising the evaporator 100, which helps to reduce the height of the evaporator 100 and the height space occupied by the water-cooling unit.

[0043] The air supply tank 301 is used to supply air to the compressor of the water-cooled unit to support the compressor rotor. By setting up the economizer air supply cycle, the efficiency of the water-cooled unit's compression and refrigeration cycle can be improved, the cooling capacity can be increased, and the compressor exhaust temperature can be reduced.

[0044] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 As shown, the air supply tank 301 is placed above the evaporator 100, and the economizer 400 is placed above the condenser 200. Alternatively, the air supply tank 301 is placed above the condenser 200, and the economizer 400 is placed above the evaporator 100. This facilitates layout without raising the evaporator 100 and condenser 200.

[0045] It can be understood that devices such as a compressor and a heat exchanger are arranged above the evaporator 100 or the condenser 200, and the height of the economizer 400 and the air supply tank 301 is less than the maximum height of devices such as the compressor and the heat exchanger. By arranging the economizer 400 and the air supply tank 301 above the evaporator 100 or the condenser 200, the evaporator 100 or the condenser 200 will not be additionally raised.

[0046] In some embodiments, combined Figure 2 As shown, the air supply system 300 further includes a liquid supply assembly 302, which is disposed below the evaporator 100 and / or the condenser 200. The liquid supply assembly 302 can be disposed below the evaporator 100, or below the condenser 200, or below the adjacent area of the evaporator 100 and the condenser 200. For example, in combination with Figure 2 As shown, the liquid supply assembly 302 may be disposed below the condenser 200 .

[0047] The evaporator 100 and the condenser 200 are mounted on a bracket, with a certain distance between the bottom of the evaporator 100 and the condenser 200 and the ground. By arranging the liquid supply assembly 302 below the evaporator 100 and / or the condenser 200, the layout is convenient and the height of the evaporator 100 and the condenser 200 is not increased.

[0048] The gas supply system 300 includes two parts: a gas supply tank 301 and a liquid supply assembly 302. The liquid supply assembly 302 is connected to the gas supply tank 301 and is used to provide liquid to the gas supply tank 301. In the present application, the two parts of the gas supply system 300 are arranged separately. The gas supply tank 301 is arranged above the evaporator and / or the condenser, and the liquid supply assembly 302 is arranged below the evaporator 100 and / or the condenser 200. This is conducive to reducing the height of the water-cooled unit, making the arrangement of the water-cooled unit more compact, and reducing the space occupied by the water-cooled unit. Since the gas supply tank 301 is arranged above the evaporator and / or the condenser, and the liquid supply assembly 302 is arranged below the evaporator 100 and / or the condenser 200, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the liquid supply pump of the liquid supply assembly 302 to overcome the pressure difference between the liquid supply assembly 302 and the gas supply tank 301.

[0049] In some embodiments, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water-cooling unit further includes a bracket 500. The bracket 500 includes a bracket body 501 and at least one supporting plate 502 disposed on the bracket body 501. The bracket body 501 is used to connect to the evaporator 100 or condenser 200, and the supporting plate 502 is used to support the liquid supply assembly 302. The supporting plate 502 securely supports the liquid supply assembly 302. The supporting plate 502 is disposed on the bracket body 501, and the bracket body 501 is fixedly connected to the evaporator 100 or condenser 200, thereby securing the liquid supply assembly 302 to the bottom of the evaporator 100 or condenser 200 using the bracket 500.

[0050] In some embodiments, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket body 501 includes a first fixing plate 5011, a second fixing plate 5012, and a support plate 5013. The bottom ends of the first fixing plate 5011 and the second fixing plate 5012 are fixedly connected by the support plate 5013, and the top ends of the first fixing plate 5011 and the second fixing plate 5012 are disposed at the bottom of the condenser 200 or the evaporator 100. The provision of the first fixing plate 5011 and the second fixing plate 5012 facilitates fixed connection with the condenser 200 / evaporator 100, and the provision of the support plate 5013 facilitates enhanced stability of the bracket body 501.

[0051] In some embodiments, the top ends of the first fixing plate 5011 and the second fixing plate 5012 are welded to the bottom of the condenser 200 or the evaporator 100. Welding is a processing method that uses heat or pressure (or both) to achieve atomic bonding of workpieces. Welded connections have extremely high strength and stability, ensuring that the connection parts are not prone to loosening or breaking when subjected to various forces and stresses. The use of welded connections can ensure that a solid whole is formed between the condenser 200 / evaporator 100 and the first fixing plate 5011 and the second fixing plate 5012, thereby ensuring the reliability and firmness of the fixed connection.

[0052] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the top ends of the first fixing plate 5011 and the second fixing plate 5012 are fixed to the bottom of the condenser 200 by welding.

[0053] In some embodiments, combined Figure 4 As shown, the liquid supply component 302 includes an electric ball valve 3021, a filter 3022, a liquid supply pump 3023 and a solenoid valve 3024. The supporting plate 502 is set to four, and the electric ball valve 3021, the filter 3022, the liquid supply pump 3023 and the solenoid valve 3024 are arranged one by one above the supporting plate 502.

[0054] There are four support plates 502. This design can disperse and balance the weight of the various components of the liquid supply assembly 302, thereby improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bracket 500. At the same time, the four support plates 502 also provide a stable installation platform for the various components, ensuring that they can be accurately and firmly installed in the designated positions. In addition, the present application integrates all valve components of the liquid supply assembly 302 on the bracket 500, which is conducive to making the structure of the entire liquid supply assembly 302 clear and compact, facilitating daily maintenance and inspection, and at the same time helping to reduce the number of welding points and reduce the errors caused by welding and positioning with the condenser 200.

[0055] Specifically, in the related art, four support plates are provided at the bottom of the condenser 200, and the four support plates are used to support the electric ball valve 3021, the filter 3022, the liquid supply pump 3023, and the solenoid valve 3024, respectively. The four support plates are respectively welded to the bottom of the condenser 200, and the related art requires at least four welding points. In the present application, however, the four support plates are integrated into the bracket body 501, and the bracket body 501 is welded to the bottom of the condenser 200. This application only requires two welding points, which helps to reduce the number of welding points and reduce the errors caused by welding and positioning with the condenser 200.

[0056] The liquid supply assembly 302 includes an electric ball valve 3021, a filter 3022, a liquid supply pump 3023, and a solenoid valve 3024, each of which performs a distinct function: the electric ball valve 3021 controls the flow of liquid, opening and closing the valve electrically to precisely control the flow rate and direction of the liquid. The filter 3022 is responsible for filtering out impurities and particulate matter from the liquid, ensuring that the delivered liquid is pure and free of impurities, protecting the normal operation of subsequent equipment and processes. The liquid supply pump 3023 is the core power component of the liquid supply system, converting mechanical energy into pressure energy and kinetic energy of the liquid to achieve liquid delivery and circulation. The solenoid valve 3024 controls the flow rate of the liquid.

[0057] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 500 includes a first supporting plate, a second supporting plate, a third supporting plate and a fourth supporting plate.

[0058] The first supporting plate is disposed on a side of the first fixing plate 5011 away from the second fixing plate 5012 and is used to support the electric ball valve 3021 .

[0059] The second supporting plate is disposed on a side of the supporting plate 5013 away from the condenser 200 and the evaporator, and is used to support the filter 3022 .

[0060] The third supporting plate is arranged on a side of the support plate 5013 away from the condenser 200 and the evaporator, and is used to support the liquid supply pump 3023 .

[0061] The fourth supporting plate is disposed on a side of the second fixing plate 5012 away from the first fixing plate 5011 and is used to support the solenoid valve 3024 .

[0062] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support plate 502 is provided with at least one fixing hole 5021, which is configured as an elongated strip. Fixing bolts pass through the fixing holes 5021 and cooperate with fixing members to secure the various components of the liquid supply assembly 302 to the corresponding support plate 502. The elongated shape of the fixing holes 5021 improves their universality, allowing them to accommodate components of various sizes and shapes. This also allows for a wider tolerance range during fixing, making installation more convenient.

[0063] In some embodiments, the water cooling unit further includes a compressor 600. The economizer 400 is disposed at a first end of the evaporator 100, and the compressor 600 is disposed at an end of the condenser 200 away from the economizer 400.

[0064] The water-cooling unit is arranged horizontally, and is arranged on the evaporator 100 through the economizer 400. The compressor is placed diagonally to the economizer 400, which can make the left and right counterweights of the water-cooling unit more stable.

[0065] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 As shown, the economizer 400 is disposed at a first end of the condenser 200 , and the compressor 600 is disposed at an end of the evaporator 100 away from the economizer 400 .

[0066] The water-cooling unit is arranged horizontally, and is arranged on the condenser 200 through the economizer 400. The compressor is placed diagonally to the economizer 400, which can make the left and right counterweights of the water-cooling unit more stable.

[0067] In some embodiments, the gas supply tank 301 is provided with a heating rod 3011, and the heating rod 3011 is arranged along the front-to-back direction of the water cooling unit, so that the heating rod 3011 can be easily withdrawn and replaced.
