Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery, and more particularly to an air-water cooler for an electric motor, especially a water leakage groove structure for a horizontal single-core air-water cooler. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, an air-water cooler includes an air-water cooler core and a fan. The air-water cooler core is installed above the fan, and the fan blows air upwards to remove heat. When the air-water cooler core is installed horizontally, if there is a leak in the cooling pipe, water will flow directly into the fan, which can easily cause the fan to stop working or even burn out, shortening its service life. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water leakage groove structure for a horizontal single-core air-water cooler, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art where water leakage from the cooling pipe affects the normal operation of the fan.

[0004] This utility model discloses a water leakage channel structure for a horizontal single-core air-water cooler, including a mounting frame. At least two folded-edge water guide plates are evenly spaced along the width of the mounting frame. Each folded-edge water guide plate includes a flow guide plate and a folded-edge plate. The folded-edge plate is connected to the lower side of the flow guide plate, and the upper side of the folded-edge plate and the upper side of the flow guide plate form a water channel. In a cross-section parallel to the width of the mounting frame and perpendicular to the horizontal plane, both the folded-edge plate and the flow guide plate are inclined to the width of the mounting frame. In any one of the folded-edge water guide plates... The projections of the guide plates in the horizontal plane overlap with the projections of the adjacent folded water guide plates in the horizontal plane along the width of the mounting frame. The length direction of any folded water guide plate is inclined to the length direction of the mounting frame. Each folded water guide plate has a drain outlet at the lowest point of its water channel. A water collection trough is fixedly installed in the mounting frame, which is set along the width direction of the mounting frame and is located below the drain outlet. A drain hole is provided at the bottom of the water collection trough.

[0005] Furthermore, the folding angle of the folded water guide plate is 90°.

[0006] Furthermore, the cross-section of the water collection tank is L-shaped.

[0007] Furthermore, the width of the overlapping portion of any two adjacent folded water guide plates is 3mm.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, this invention offers significant and positive advantages. If coolant leakage occurs during equipment operation, the water first flows into the guide channel of the folded-edge guide plate, then along the inclined guide plate to the lower end of the guide channel, before flowing through the drain outlet to the collection tank, and finally out of the collection tank through the drain hole. This prevents cooling water from leaking into the fan and affecting its normal operation. The overlapping portions of adjacent folded-edge guide plates ensure that water flows into the guide channel without flowing into the fan below. Gaps are provided between adjacent folded-edge guide plates, allowing the upward-blowing air from the fan to pass through without increasing wind resistance, thus ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the cooler.

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Any similar variations using the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. The use of directions such as up, down, front, back, left, right, center, inside, and outside in the present invention is only for the convenience of clear description and is not intended to limit the technical solution of the present invention.

[0013] like Figs. 1-3As shown, the utility model discloses a horizontal single-core air cooling device water leakage groove structure, including mounting frame 1, at least two edge folding water guide plates 2 are arranged in mounting frame 1 along its width direction, and any one edge folding water guide plate 2 includes a water deflector 21 and an edge folding plate 22 respectively, the edge folding plate 22 is connected to the downside of water deflector 21, and the upside of edge folding plate 22 and the upside of water deflector 21 form water guide groove 3, in the section parallel to the width direction of mounting frame 1, perpendicular to horizontal plane, the edge folding plate 22 and water deflector 21 are all inclined to the width direction of mounting frame 1, the projection of water deflector 21 in horizontal plane in any one edge folding water guide plate 2 and the projection of edge folding plate 22 in horizontal plane in its adjacent one edge folding water guide plate 2 have coincident part in the width direction of mounting frame 1, the length direction of any one edge folding water guide plate 2 is all inclined to the length direction of mounting frame 1, and any one edge folding water guide plate 2 is all respectively provided with a water leakage port 4 at the lowest point of water guide groove 3, a water collecting groove 5 is fixedly arranged in mounting frame 1, the water collecting groove 5 is arranged along the width direction of mounting frame 1, the water collecting groove 5 is located below water leakage port 4, and the bottom of water collecting groove 5 is provided with water leakage hole 6.

[0014] Further, the edge folding angle of the edge folding water guide plate 2 is 90 °.

[0015] Further, the cross section of the water collecting groove 5 is L-shaped.

[0016] Further, the width 7 of the coincident part of any two adjacent edge folding water guide plates 2 is 3 mm.

[0017] Specifically, the water collecting groove 5 is connected with the end plate on one side of the cooler support and the cooler cover together to form a closed water collecting groove 5 structure.

[0018] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0019] The water leakage groove structure is installed below the core body of the air cooling device, above the fan and between the two side plates of the cooling device. If water leakage occurs in the cooling device during operation, the water first flows into the water guide groove 3 of the edge folding water guide plate 2, flows along the inclined edge folding water guide plate 2 to the low end of the water guide groove 3, flows into the water collecting groove 5 through the water leakage port 4, and then flows out of the water collecting groove 5 through the water leakage hole 6, thereby avoiding the leakage of cooling water into the fan and preventing the normal operation of the fan.

[0020] The adjacent edge folding water guide plates 2 have a coincident part, which can ensure that the water flows into the water guide groove 3 and does not flow into the fan below. The gap between the adjacent edge folding water guide plates 2 allows the air blown upward by the fan to pass through the gap without increasing the air resistance, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling device.

[0021] The water leakage prevention groove structure not only prevents the water leakage of the cooling pipe of the cooler core, but also enhances the rigidity of the whole structure of the cooler and reduces the influence of the vibration during the operation of the cooler.
