[0021] The gas mixing mechanism 3 includes two pairs of electric heat-conducting plates, which have a cold side and a hot side. Specifically, the electric heat-conducting plates include a hollow plate body 5 and a plurality of thermoelectric semiconductor refrigeration sheets 6 evenly distributed in the hollow plate body 5. The heat-absorbing side and the heat-dissipating side of the thermoelectric semiconductor refrigeration sheet 6 are respectively attached to the two inner wall surfaces of the hollow plate body 5; the hot sides of each pair of electric heat-conducting plates are opposite to each other and form a spray space 7. The front and rear sides of the spray space 7 are blocked by a sealing plate 8. The upper and lower sides of the spray space 7 are open, and a first spray pipe 9 cooperating with the spray space 7 is provided on the body 1. The first spray pipe 9 can spray water into the spray space 7 from top to bottom; a plurality of hemispherical protrusions 10 are evenly distributed on the side of the above-mentioned hollow plate body 5 facing the spray space 7, which increases the heat exchange area between the hollow plate body 5 and the water flow. The material of the hollow plate body 5 is stainless steel
[0022] An air intake space 11 is provided on the cold side of the electric heat conducting plate. The air intake space 11 is formed by combining two electric heat conducting plates or combining an electric heat conducting plate and a side plate 12. The upper and lower sides of the air intake space 11 are closed, and the water outlet of the first spray pipe 9 cannot enter the air intake space 11. Two air disturbing mechanisms are provided in the air intake space 11 along the forward direction of the air flow. The air disturbing mechanisms are responsible for guiding the gas in the middle of the air intake space 11 to both sides to prevent this part of the gas from not participating in heat exchange and directly flowing through the air intake space 11. Specifically, the air disturbing mechanism includes two inclined grilles 12 symmetrically arranged in the air intake space 11 and an air guide box 13 arranged between the two inclined grilles 12. The heights of the inclined grilles 12 and the air guide box 13 are equal to the inner height of the air intake space 11. Side height, the air guide box 13 is open on one side facing the incoming air direction, and the air guide box 13 has an air guide arc 14 on the side away from the incoming air direction.

The preferred number of water pumps is two, one of which is a submersible pump and is installed at the bottom of the inner side of the water tank 19. The outlet of the water pump 20 is connected to the first spray pipe. Due to the difference in specific gravity between hot water and cold water, the water pump 20 can deliver water with a lower temperature to the reference spray space 7. and heat exchange, which is beneficial to reducing the hot side temperature of the electric heat conductive plate; another water pump 20 is installed outside the water tank 19 and the outlet of the water pump 20 is connected to the second spray pipe 18, the inlet of this water pump 20 is connected to the water pumping pipe 21, and the end of the water pumping pipe 21 is provided with a floating plate 22, which enables the water pump 20 to suck the water with higher temperature to the cooling mechanism 4 and spray it to the heat exchange plate group 17. This water evaporation process is easier to occur, which is beneficial to evaporation and heat absorption; a water supply port connected to the water tank 19 is also provided on the body 1.
[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is:
[0026] When the machine is running, the first spray pipe 9 and the second spray pipe 18 spray water respectively. In the mixing mechanism 3, the intake air flows through the partition wall for heat exchange to form dry cold air. In the cooling mechanism 4, the intake air flows through the water for heat exchange to form moist cold air. The moist cold air and the dry cold air are mixed in the machine body 1 and sent out by the fan, which significantly reduces the humidity of the outlet air and effectively avoids the excessive humidity of the air outlet of the air cooler affecting the surrounding vision or the safe operation of electrical equipment.
