Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, and more particularly to a water tank structure and a refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, IEC (Indirect Evaporative Cooling Technology) equipment has become increasingly mature. Currently, the main control cabinet and fan section of IEC equipment are usually located on opposite sides of the spray section. Cables need to pass through the spray section to connect to the centrifugal fan, various sensors, and other equipment. Since IEC equipment sprays for most of the time, for reliability reasons, cables will not pass under the heat exchanger core or above the water tank. Therefore, the cables need to first go up around the heat exchanger core and then back down to connect to the various electrical components. However, this cable routing requires operators to climb to a height and operate from both sides of the unit simultaneously, increasing the difficulty of operation and wasting a large amount of cable. Moreover, high-voltage and low-voltage cables are usually arranged in a corrugated flexible conduit. To avoid affecting the communication of the centrifugal fan, additional anti-interference facilities are required, further increasing the cost of IEC equipment.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved water tank structure to solve some or all of the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0027] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water tank structure of this application includes a frame 1 and a water tank body 2. The water tank body 2 is secured to the frame 1, and the frame 1 can be used to reinforce the overall strength of the water tank structure. The frame 1 includes a frame body 11 and a frame base plate 12 connected to the frame body 11. The water tank body 2 includes a tank bottom plate 21 and multiple side plates 22. The multiple side plates 22 are fixed to the frame body 11, and the tank bottom plate 21 is connected to the side plates 22. Along the height direction of the water tank structure, the tank bottom plate 21 and the frame bottom plate 12 are spaced apart to form a cable trough 3.

[0029] This design allows cables to be run through the cable tray 3, preventing direct contact between the cables and the liquid inside the water tank body 2. This improves cable reliability and the ease of use of the water tank structure, and also avoids the need for cables to be arranged around the water tank structure, saving on cable usage. Furthermore, when the water tank structure is used in refrigeration equipment, it also avoids the need for cables to be run in and out, improving operator safety and reducing the cost of the refrigeration equipment.

[0030] In some embodiments, the tank bottom plate 21 is connected to the inner side of a plurality of side plates 22, which are connected end to end, and the tank bottom plate 21 and the plurality of side plates 22 form a cavity for containing liquid. Specifically, the side plates 22 include a front side plate 221, a rear side plate 222, a left side plate 223, and a right side plate 224. Around the periphery of the water tank body 2, the front side plate 221, the rear side plate 222, the left side plate 223, and the right side plate 224 are connected end to end in sequence. The tank bottom plate 21 is connected to the inner side of the front side plate 221, the rear side plate 222, the left side plate 223, and the right side plate 224. The cable trough 3 is adjacent to the left side plate 223 and passes through the front side plate 221 and the rear side plate 222.

[0031] The front side panel 221, rear side panel 222, left side panel 223, and right side panel 224 are connected to the base plate 12. The base plate 21 of the tank is set with the front higher than the rear and the left higher than the right. This arrangement ensures that the liquid inside the water tank body 2 always tends to flow towards the right rear corner of the water tank body 2, thus facilitating the discharge of liquid from the water tank body 2 outside the tank. To allow for more space in the cable trough 3 and easier cable routing through the water tank structure, the cable trough 3 is located between the base plate 21 of the tank body and the base plate 12 of the frame, and is located on the left side of the water tank structure.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the bottom plate 21 of the box can also be set to be lower in the front and higher in the back, higher in the left and lower in the right, higher in the front and lower in the back, lower in the left and higher in the right, or lower in the front and higher in the back, lower in the left and higher in the right.

[0033] In some embodiments, the upper edge of the rear side plate 222 extends upward beyond the front side plate 221, the left side plate 223, and the right side plate 224, and is connected to the upper frame 111 of the frame body 11. This arrangement prevents heat exchange between the gas behind the rear side plate 222 and the gas in front of the rear side plate 222 at the rear side plate 222.

[0034] Further integration Figure 4 As shown, to maintain a seal within the cable trough 3, the water tank structure includes a cover assembly 4. At least two cover assemblies 4 are provided, respectively connected to the front side plate 221 and the rear side plate 222, to enclose the cable trough 3. When the cable passes through the water tank structure, the cable also passes through the cover assembly 4, which can be used to secure the cable.

[0035] Each of the at least two cover plate assemblies 4 includes a cover plate body 41 and a plurality of cable connectors 42. A single cover plate body 41 is fixed to a front side plate 221 or a rear side plate 222, and the cable connectors 42 are fixed to the cover plate body 41 and communicate with the cable tray 3. The cable connectors 42 are used to fix cables.

[0036] To further improve the sealing performance of the cable trough 3, the water tank structure includes a sealing element 5. The sealing element 5 is respectively disposed between the front side plate 221 and the cover plate assembly 4 and between the rear side plate 222 and the cover plate assembly 4. Specifically, the sealing element 5 is disposed between the front side plate 221 and the rear side plate 222 or the cover plate assembly 4, and the sealing element 5 is a sealing ring or sealing putty.

[0037] Further integration Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, to avoid interference between high-voltage and low-voltage cables in the cable and to allow for separate arrangement, the water tank structure includes a partition assembly 6. The partition assembly 6 is located within the cable trough 3 and between the tank bottom plate 21 and the frame base plate 12. In some embodiments, the partition assembly 6 is fixedly connected to at least one of the following components: the frame base plate 12, the front side plate 221, and the rear side plate 222. Alternatively, to improve the stability between the frame 1 and the water tank body 2, the partition assembly 6 can be connected between the tank bottom plate 21 and the frame base plate 12. The partition assembly 6 divides the cable trough 3 into at least a high-voltage cable cavity 31 and a low-voltage cable cavity 32, with high-voltage cables passing through the high-voltage cable cavity 31 and low-voltage cables passing through the low-voltage cable cavity 32.

[0038] The partition assembly 6 includes a first partition 61 and a second partition 62. Along the left-right direction of the water tank structure, the first partition 61 and the second partition 62 are spaced apart and located between the high-voltage cable cavity 31 and the low-voltage cable cavity 32. Specifically, the space to the left of the first partition 61 is the high-voltage cable cavity 31, and the space to the right of the second partition 62 is the low-voltage cable cavity 32. In some other embodiments, the partition assembly 6 may also include other partitions, and along the left-right direction of the water tank structure, these other partitions may be located between the first partition 61 and the second partition 62.

[0039] In some embodiments, to avoid interference between high-voltage and low-voltage cables in the cable system, the minimum distance between the high-voltage cables in the high-voltage cable cavity 31 and the low-voltage cables in the low-voltage cable cavity 32 along the left-right direction of the water tank structure is not less than 150mm. Of course, to avoid interference between high-voltage and low-voltage cables, the minimum distance between them can be other values ​​depending on the actual installation requirements.

[0040] In the water tank structure of this application, the left-right direction of the water tank mechanism is represented by the X-axis, the front-back direction by the Y-axis, and the height direction by the Z-axis. Please refer to [reference needed] for details. Figures 1 to 3 .

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, this application also provides a refrigeration device, including a control main cabinet 7, a fan cabinet 8, a spray element 9, a heat exchanger 10, and a water tank structure as described above. The control main cabinet 7 and the fan cabinet 8 are located on opposite sides of the water tank structure, and the spray element 9 is located above the water tank structure. Specifically, the cables in the control main cabinet 7 pass through the cable tray 3 and are connected to the fan cabinet 8. The spray element 9 is spaced apart from the water tank structure, and the heat exchanger 10 is located between the spray element 9 and the water tank structure. The refrigeration device of this application is preferably, but not limited to, an indirect evaporative cooling device.

[0042] In the refrigeration device of this application, the cables can be run through the cable tray 3, avoiding direct contact between the cables and the liquid inside the water tank body 2, thus improving the reliability of the cables and the ease of use of the water tank structure. Simultaneously, the cables can pass directly through the bottom of the water tank structure, avoiding the need for cables to be run up and down, improving the operational safety of workers, and also saving cables and reducing the cost of the refrigeration device.
