[0002] Instrument air cooling tank, usually also called rear cooler, is the equipment installed in the rear end of air compressor, mainly used to reduce the temperature of compressed air and remove a large amount of liquid water therein. The basic working principle of cooling tank is heat exchange. High-temperature compressed air flows in the pipeline or channel in the tank body, and the cooling medium (usually ambient air or cooling water) flows outside the pipeline, and heat exchange is carried out through the pipe wall, so as to take away heat.
[0003] Most of the existing flow pipes for cooling water are of one-piece structure. Such structure is very inconvenient for cleaning scale in the pipeline during subsequent use, which will affect the heat exchange cooling effect in the later period.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new instrument air cooling tank to solve the above technical problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an instrument air cooling tank.

[0008] A spiral groove is formed in the outer wall of the inner cylinder, the inner wall of the spiral groove is fixedly connected with the outer wall of the spiral pipe, and the outer wall of the spiral pipe away from the spiral groove is in abutment with the inner wall of the outer cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the cavity between the inner and outer cylinders can be divided by a spiral tube to form a spiral cavity for the flow of cooling water.
[0014] Compared with related technologies, the instrument air cooling tank provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. When scale appears in the cavity through which cooling water flows, the outer cylinder can be removed from the inner cylinder to separate the two, thus exposing the cavity through which cooling water flows, making it easier for staff to clean the scale later.
[0016] 2. During the cooling process, the temperature of the heat source inside the spiral tube can be conducted to the spiral heat dissipation fins.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides an instrument air cooling tank, which includes a support frame 1.
[0026] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A cooling assembly 2 is provided on the support frame 1. The cooling assembly 2 includes an inner cylinder 21 and an outer cylinder 22. The inner cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the support frame 1, and the outer cylinder 22 is sleeved on the inner cylinder 21 and fixedly connected by bolts. A spiral tube 3 for conveying gas is provided between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22. A spiral groove 211 is opened on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 21. The inner wall of the spiral groove 211 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spiral tube 3. The outer wall of the spiral tube 3 away from the spiral groove 211 abuts against the inner wall of the outer cylinder 22. The cavity between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 can form a spiral cavity for cooling water to flow through through the separation of the spiral tube 3. A return pipe 213 connected to the cavity between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cylinder 21. An inlet pipe 221 connected to the cavity between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 is fixedly installed at the top of the outer cylinder 22.
[0027] It should be noted that during use, external coolant can flow through the inlet pipe 221 into the cavity formed between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 for cooling water to flow. During this flow, the coolant can fully contact the outer wall of the spiral tube 3 inside the cavity, thereby achieving the cooling operation of the air inside the spiral tube 3. When the cooling water flows to the bottom of the cavity, it can flow back out through the return pipe 213, so that the external cooling water can circulate smoothly in the cavity.
[0028] In this embodiment: Since the cooling assembly 2 is a split structure assembled from the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22, when scale appears in the cavity for supplying cooling water during subsequent use, the outer cylinder 22 can be removed from the inner cylinder 21 to separate the two, thereby exposing the cavity for supplying cooling water inside both, which makes it easier for staff to clean the scale later.
[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5The inner cylinder 21 has a spiral heat dissipation fin 212 fixedly installed inside, and the spiral heat dissipation fin 212 extends into the spiral groove 211 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spiral tube 3. The bottom of the inner cylinder 21 has a fixedly connected mounting plate 4, and multiple ring-shaped fans 41 are fixedly installed inside the mounting plate 4.
[0030] It should be noted that by setting spiral heat dissipation fins 212 connected to the outer wall of the spiral tube 3 on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 21, during the cooling process, when the temperature of the heat source inside the spiral tube 3 is conducted to the spiral heat dissipation fins 212, the working fan 41 can also increase the air flow speed outside the spiral heat dissipation fins 212, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the spiral heat dissipation fins 212. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a dual combination of air cooling and liquid cooling for the heat source inside the spiral tube 3, thereby improving the cooling effect of the device.
[0031] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The top end of the spiral tube 3 is fixedly installed with a connected air inlet pipe 31, the bottom end of the spiral tube 3 is fixedly installed with a connected drain pipe 32, and the drain pipe 32 is fixedly installed with a connected exhaust pipe 33.
[0032] It should be noted that during the cooling process, the cooled hot air can be separated into water droplets and gas. At this time, the liquid and gas can be smoothly separated and flowed through the drain pipe 32 and the exhaust pipe 33, which facilitates the smooth delivery of the cooled gas to the equipment required in the later stages.
[0033] The working principle of the instrument air cooling tank provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0034] During subsequent use, staff can move the device to the required location and connect each pipe to the corresponding external pipe.
[0035] After the installation of the device is completed, when the air to be cooled flows into the spiral tube 3 through the air inlet pipe 31, the heat source inside will be conducted to the spiral heat dissipation fins 212 on the outside through the spiral tube 3, thereby increasing the contact area between the spiral tube 3 and the outside air. In this process, the working fan 41 can also increase the air flow speed inside the inner cylinder 21, thereby accelerating the heat exchange between the heat dissipation fins and the air, thus realizing the cooling of the heat source with cold air.
[0036] During this process, the cooling water used to cool the heat source flows into the cavity between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 through the liquid inlet pipe 221. At this time, the cooling water entering between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 can flow spirally along the outer wall of the spiral tube 3 until it flows into the lower return pipe 213, where it can be discharged outward to realize the return of the cooling water. This allows the cooling water to circulate smoothly between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22, thus improving the water cooling heat dissipation of the air flowing inside the spiral tube 3. The combination of air cooling and liquid cooling can improve the cooling effect of this device.
[0037] Furthermore, during subsequent use, when scale appears in the cavity between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 where cooling water flows, the staff only needs to unscrew the bolts used to fix them, and then lift the outer cylinder 22 upwards to disassemble the outer cylinder 22 and the inner cylinder 21, exposing the cavity between the outer cylinder 22 and the inner cylinder 21, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning scale later.
[0038] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0039] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
