Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water cooling systems, and in particular to a water cooling system for optical disc destruction equipment. Background Art
[0002] To achieve the goal of complete destruction of CD data, the following three methods are usually used, from low to high confidentiality levels: crushing, grinding, and melting.
[0003] Because melting produces a lot of odor and requires a high temperature (low temperatures result in slow processing, while high temperatures produce odor), grinding is more commonly used for high-security hard drive destruction. However, the grinding process generates a lot of heat, and the accumulated heat can cause the disc powder to melt, making it impossible to grind properly.
[0004] The main solution currently involves adding a heat sink to the grinding chamber, or using a heat sink combined with air cooling, to dissipate heat from the grinding chamber's outer walls. For example, patent publication number CN219880906U discloses a multifunctional storage media destruction machine that includes cooling fans installed at both the right and rear ends of the upper cover. This cooling method, however, is relatively ineffective, and heat can easily accumulate over extended periods of large-scale destruction, leading to the melting of disc powder. Utility Model Content
[0005] To this end, the present application provides a water cooling system for an optical disc destruction device to solve the problem of unsatisfactory cooling effect in the prior art.
[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A water cooling system for a CD destruction device includes a water tank, a first water pipe, a water pump, a second water pipe and a water-cooling radiator. The water tank is used to hold coolant. One end of the first water pipe is connected to the water pump, which is arranged in the water tank and is used to pump the coolant in the water tank into the first water pipe. The other end of the first water pipe is connected to the water inlet of the water-cooling radiator. The middle section of the first water pipe is wound around the inside of the shell of a grinding chamber. The water-cooling radiator is used to cool water. The water outlet of the water-cooling radiator is connected to one end of the second water pipe, and the other end of the second water pipe is connected to the water tank.
[0008] Optionally, the water pump is arranged at the bottom of the water tank.
[0009] Optionally, the first water pipe is wound multiple times inside the shell of the grinding chamber.
[0010] Optionally, the outer wall thickness of the grinding chamber is 10-40 mm, and the diameter of the first water pipe is 4-20 mm.
[0011] Optionally, the water-cooled radiator includes a main body, a fan and a water-cooling pipe. The water-cooling pipe is distributed in a serpentine shape in the main body. The fan is installed on the main body and is located on one side of the water-cooling pipe for blowing air toward the water-cooling pipe. The two ends of the water-cooling pipe are respectively connected to the first water pipe and the second water pipe.
[0012] Optionally, the water temperature in the water tank is always below 60 degrees.
[0013] Optionally, a water inlet is provided on the top of the water tank, a cover is provided on the water inlet, and the water inlet is provided on one side of the connection port between the second water pipe and the water tank.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. Without increasing the volume, a first water pipe is added inside the grinding chamber shell to introduce coolant into it. The heat from the outer wall of the grinding chamber is taken away by heat conduction to achieve a better cooling effect.
[0016] 2. The water-cooling pipe can increase the exposed area of the coolant, and under the action of the fan, it can better achieve the cooling effect, so that the coolant can be restored to a low temperature and returned to the water tank for repeated reuse.
[0017] 3. An additional cover and water inlet are set on the top of the water tank, which makes it more convenient to add coolant into the water tank during normal cooling without affecting its normal operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] A water cooling system for optical disk destruction equipment, referring to Figure 1 , comprising a water tank 1, a first water pipe 2, a water pump 3, a second water pipe 4, and a water-cooling radiator 5. The water tank 1 contains coolant. In this embodiment, the coolant temperature in the water tank 1 is always below 60°C, effectively cooling the grinding chamber 6. This water cooling maintains the temperature of the grinding chamber 6 below 50°C even during long-term operation, ensuring smooth grinding of optical discs.
[0026] One end of the first water pipe 2 passes through the water tank 1 and is connected to the water pump 3. A sealing ring is provided between the side wall of the water tank 1 and the first water pipe 2 to prevent coolant leakage. The water pump 3 is disposed within the water tank 1 and is used to pump water from the water tank 1 into the first water pipe 2. In other embodiments, the water pump 3 may also be disposed outside the water tank 1 at the first water pipe 2. Specifically, disposing the water pump 3 at the bottom of the water tank 1 not only ensures stable pumping of the coolant, but also effectively prevents the generation of bubbles and ensures that the coolant drawn in by the water pump 3 has a uniform temperature.
[0027] A gap is left inside the shell of the grinding chamber 6 for the placement of the first water pipe 2. The middle section of the first water pipe 2 is wound inside the shell of the grinding chamber 6, and the end away from the water pump 3 is connected to the water inlet of the water-cooled radiator 5. The first water pipe 2 is arranged inside the shell of the grinding chamber 6. In order to improve the cooling effect, the first water pipe 2 is placed in close contact with the shell of the grinding chamber 6, which can better exchange heat with the grinding chamber 6 and remove the heat inside the grinding chamber 6. At the same time, increasing the number of windings of the first water pipe 2 inside the shell of the grinding chamber 6 can increase the contact area between the coolant and the grinding chamber 6, which can further improve the cooling effect.
[0028] Specifically, the outer wall thickness of the grinding chamber 6 is between 10-40 mm, and the diameter of the first water pipe 2 is between 4-20 mm. In this embodiment, the outer wall thickness of the grinding chamber 6 is selected to be 20 mm, and the diameter of the first water pipe 2 is selected to be 8 mm.
[0029] The water-cooled radiator 5 is used to cool the water. The water outlet of the water-cooled radiator 5 is connected to one end of the second water pipe 4, the other end of which is connected to the water tank 1. Specifically, the water-cooled radiator 5 includes a main body, a fan 7, and a water-cooling pipe 8. The water-cooling pipe 8 is distributed in a serpentine shape within the main body. The fan 7 is mounted on the main body and located on one side of the water-cooling pipe 8. It is used to blow air toward the water-cooling pipe 8 to enhance the heat dissipation effect of the coolant. The fan 7 is used to cool the coolant in the water-cooling pipe 8. The two ends of the water-cooling pipe 8 are respectively connected to the first water pipe 2 and the second water pipe 4, serving as the water inlet and outlet of the water-cooled radiator 5.
[0030] In other embodiments, the water-cooling pipe 8 can be laid flat inside the main body to maximize the heat dissipation area of the water-cooling pipe 8. Under the action of the fan 7, the heat exchange area between the coolant in the water-cooling pipe 8 and the air is increased, and the coolant temperature can be cooled more quickly and then enter the water tank 1 along the second water pipe 4.
[0031] Furthermore, to facilitate the addition of coolant to water tank 1, a water inlet 9 is provided at the top of water tank 1, located on one side of the connection between second water pipe 4 and water tank 1. A cover is provided over water inlet 9. This additional inlet 9 allows coolant to be added to water tank 1 while ensuring proper cooling, without affecting the normal operation of the water cooling system.
[0032] In other embodiments, a transparent observation window can be provided on the side wall of the water tank 1 to facilitate observation of the remaining coolant in the water tank 1. The water level can be monitored through the observation window to allow timely replenishment of the coolant. In addition, a water level gauge can be provided on the top of the water tank 1 to display the coolant level.
[0033] In order to know the temperature of the coolant in the water tank 1, a thermometer for measuring the coolant temperature can be set on the water tank 1. In this way, when the coolant temperature is high, it can be regulated in time to ensure the stability of the cooling effect.
[0034] Filters may also be added to the water pump 3 and the water-cooled radiator 5 to filter impurities in the coolant, prevent the water-cooling pipe 8, the first water pipe 2 or the second water pipe 4 from being blocked, and extend the service life of the system.
[0035] The operating principle of the present embodiment is as follows: water pump 3 pumps coolant from water tank 1 into first water pipe 2. The coolant then flows through the grinding chamber 6 housing along first water pipe 2, exchanging heat with the grinding chamber 6 and cooling the interior of the grinding chamber 6. The coolant then flows into water cooling pipe 8, where, with the assistance of fan 7, heat exchange with the air is accelerated, lowering the coolant's temperature. The coolant then enters second water pipe 4 and re-enters water tank 1 for reuse.
[0036] When the coolant in the water tank 1 is low, the coolant can be added to the water tank 1 through the water filling port 9 without affecting the normal operation of the water cooling system.
[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments that are not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
