[0037] A common air cooler includes a first water tank, a second water tank, a first water curtain and a second water curtain. The water temperature in the first water tank is lower than the water temperature in the second water tank. The first water tank supplies water to the first water curtain, and the second water tank supplies water to the second water curtain. The water on the first water curtain absorbs heat and cools down after evaporation, which can cool the air inlet of the air cooler from the room. The water on the first water curtain can flow back into the first water tank; the water on the second water curtain absorbs heat and cools down after evaporation. The water falling from the second water curtain can cool the coil filled with refrigerant. The temperature of the water after cooling the coil rises significantly and flows back into the second water tank.
[0038] The first water curtain and the second water curtain accelerate the evaporation of water, and it is often necessary to respectively set a first water adding valve and a second water adding valve for the first water tank and the second water tank. After the first water adding valve is opened, the first water adding valve supplies water to the first water tank, and after the second water adding valve is opened, the second water adding valve supplies water to the second water tank; the first water adding valve and the second water adding valve are set to add water to the first water tank and the second water tank respectively, and the first water adding valve and the second water adding valve are set, which increases the cost of the air cooler.
[0039] The utility model provides a water collection structure.
[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment of the present invention, the water collecting structure 100 is used to be arranged in the air cooler 200, and includes: a water tank 1; a partition plate 2, arranged in the water tank 1, so that a first accommodating cavity 11 and a second accommodating cavity 12 are formed in the water tank 1, and the partition plate 2 is recessed in the opening of the water tank 1; and a water adding valve 3, arranged in the water tank 1, and the water outlet of the water adding valve 3 is arranged corresponding to the first accommodating cavity 11.
[0041] The technical solution of the present invention separates the first accommodating chamber 11 and the second accommodating chamber 12 by adopting a partition plate 2. After the water adding valve 3 is started, the water adding valve 3 can inject water into the first accommodating chamber 11. After the water level in the first accommodating chamber 11 rises and is parallel to the height of the partition plate 2, the water adding valve 3 continues to inject water into the first accommodating chamber 11. The water in the first accommodating chamber 11 can flow from the upper side of the partition plate 2 into the second accommodating chamber 12. The water adding valve 3 realizes the addition of water to the first accommodating chamber 11 and the second accommodating chamber 12, and there is no need to supply water to the first accommodating chamber 11 and the second accommodating chamber 12 respectively, thereby improving the problem of relatively high cost.
[0042] The partition plate 2 is connected to the bottom wall of the water tank 1 , and the partition plate 2 is recessed in the opening of the water tank 1 , that is, the height of the partition plate 2 is lower than the height of the peripheral side of the water tank 1 .
[0043] The first accommodating chamber 11 is a cold water chamber, and the second accommodating chamber 12 is a hot water chamber. The water in the first accommodating chamber 11 flows into the second accommodating chamber 12, replenishing the water in the second accommodating chamber 12 while cooling the water in the second accommodating chamber 12.
[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The partition plate 2 is provided with a heat-insulating groove 21. The heat-insulating groove 21 can reduce the heat conduction effect of the partition plate 2, reduce the heat conduction between the first accommodating cavity 11 and the second accommodating cavity 12, and help reduce the heat in the second accommodating cavity 12 from being transferred to the first accommodating cavity 11, thereby reducing the temperature rise of the water in the first accommodating cavity 11.
[0045] Specifically, the insulation groove 21 is arranged on the bottom side of the partition plate 2, and the insulation groove 21 has an opening in the bottom direction of the partition plate 2. The insulation groove 21 can also be filled with insulation materials such as sponge or cotton to improve the insulation effect of the partition plate 2.
[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The water adding valve 3 includes a valve body 31; a low water level detection portion 32 located in the second accommodating chamber 12 for controlling the opening of the valve body 31; and a high water level detection portion 33 located in the second accommodating chamber 12 for controlling the closing of the valve body 31. The height of the high water level detection portion 33 is lower than the height of the partition plate 2. The low water level detection portion 32 is lower than the height of the high water level detection portion 33. When the water level in the second accommodating chamber 12 is equal to or lower than the low water level detection portion 32, the low water level detection portion 32 can control the valve body 31 to open. The water adding valve 3 supplies water to the first accommodating chamber 11. When the water in the first accommodating chamber 11 is full, the water flows into the second accommodating chamber 12, causing the water level in the second accommodating chamber 12 to rise. When the water level in the second accommodating chamber 12 rises to equal to or higher than the high water level detection portion 33, the valve body 31 can be closed, stopping the water supply from the water adding valve 3.
[0047] The height of the high water level detection portion 33 is lower than that of the partition plate 2 , which helps to reduce the water in the second accommodating chamber 12 from flowing into the first accommodating chamber 11 and helps to reduce the temperature rise of the water in the first accommodating chamber 11 .
[0048] The first receiving chamber 11 is a cold water chamber. A receiving groove 22 is formed on a side of the partition plate 2 adjacent to the cold water chamber. The receiving groove 22 corresponds to the water outlet of the water filling valve 3. The receiving groove 22 receives the water outlet of the water filling valve 3, reducing the free-fall height of the water in the water filling valve 3 and preventing the water outlet from the water filling valve 3 from directly falling into the first receiving chamber 11, thereby minimizing splashing.
[0049] The partition plate 2 has a first inclined surface on one side close to the first accommodating cavity 11, and the height of the first inclined surface gradually decreases in the direction close to the first accommodating cavity 11. The water in the receiving groove 22 flows out of the receiving groove 22 and flows into the first inclined surface. The water can flow into the first accommodating cavity 11 along the first inclined surface.
[0050] The first accommodating chamber 11 is connected to the first drain pipe 4. The height of the upper side of the bottom wall of the first accommodating chamber 11 gradually decreases as it approaches the first drain pipe 4. When draining the first accommodating chamber 11, the water in the first accommodating chamber 11 flows along the bottom wall of the first accommodating chamber 11, which facilitates the drainage of the water in the first accommodating chamber 11 into the first drain pipe 4, thereby improving the drainage effect of the first accommodating chamber 11. By draining the first accommodating chamber 11, it is easy to replace the water in the first accommodating chamber 11.
[0051] The second accommodating chamber 12 is connected to the second drain pipe 5. The height of the upper side of the bottom wall of the second accommodating chamber 12 gradually decreases as it approaches the second drain pipe 5. When draining the second accommodating chamber 12, the water in the second accommodating chamber 12 flows along the bottom wall of the second accommodating chamber 12, which facilitates the drainage of the water in the second accommodating chamber 12 into the second drain pipe 5, thereby improving the drainage effect of the second accommodating chamber 12. Draining the second accommodating chamber 12 also facilitates the replacement of the water in the second accommodating chamber 12.
[0052] The first accommodating chamber 11 is connected to a first drain pipe 4 , and a first automatic drain valve is provided on the first drain pipe 4 . Automatic drainage of the first accommodating chamber 11 can be achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the first automatic drain valve.
[0053] The second accommodating chamber 12 is connected to a second drain pipe 5, and a second automatic drain valve is provided on the second drain pipe 5. By controlling the opening and closing of the second automatic drain valve, the second accommodating chamber 12 can be automatically drained.
[0054] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first accommodating chamber 11 is connected to a first drain pipe 4, which is equipped with a first automatic drain valve; and the second accommodating chamber 12 is connected to a second drain pipe 5, which is equipped with a second automatic drain valve. By controlling the opening and closing of the first automatic drain valve and the second automatic drain valve, the first accommodating chamber 11 and the second accommodating chamber 12 can be automatically drained.
[0055] The bottom area of the first accommodating cavity 11 is greater than the bottom area of the second accommodating cavity 12 , and the volume of the first accommodating cavity 11 is greater than the volume of the second accommodating cavity 12 .
[0056] In order to ensure the structural strength of the water tank 1 , a plurality of reinforcement grooves 14 are provided on the outer peripheral side of the water tank 1 along the circumference of the water tank 1 , thereby improving the structural strength of the water tank 1 .
[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The present invention also provides an air cooler 200, which includes a water collection structure 100. The specific structure of the water collection structure 100 is similar to the above-described embodiments. Since the present air cooler 200 utilizes all the technical solutions of all the above-described embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, and therefore will not be further described here. A mounting groove 13 is formed in the water tank 1, and a compressor is disposed within the mounting groove 13. The mounting groove 13 provides space for installing the compressor.
[0058] The water tank 1 has a surrounding panel 6 inside. The surrounding panel 6 includes a first panel section 61, a second panel section 62, and a third panel section 63 that are integrally connected in sequence. The first panel section 61, the second panel section 62, and the third panel section 63 are all sealedly connected to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 13. The first panel section 61 and the third panel section 63 are both connected to the same side of the water tank 1 to form the mounting groove 13. The bottom wall of the water tank 1 has an opening corresponding to the mounting groove 13, so that both ends of the mounting groove 13 are open.
[0059] One side of the partition plate 2 is connected to the inner wall of the water tank 1 , and the other opposite side is connected to the first plate segment 61 .
[0060] The air cooler 200 has a first paper curtain and a second paper curtain. The air cooler 200 has an indoor air inlet 7 and an indoor air outlet 8. The indoor air can enter the air cooler 200 through the indoor air inlet 7. The air entering the indoor air inlet 7 is cooled after passing through the first paper curtain. The air cooler 200 cools the air cooled by the first paper curtain again and blows it into the room from the indoor air outlet 8.
[0061] The air cooler 200 also has an outdoor air outlet 9 corresponding to the second paper curtain. Water flowing out of the second accommodating chamber 12 evaporates and cools down as it falls from the second paper curtain. Outdoor air flows through the outdoor seal, accelerating the evaporation of water from the second paper curtain. The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation based on the technical concept of the present invention and the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is included within the scope of the present invention.
