[0005] The water-cooling device includes water-cooling pipes, heat sinks, a fan, a water tank, and a water pump. The water-cooling pipes are coiled on the outer wall of the air compressor body and extend outward from the air compressor body. The outer wall of the water-cooling pipes abuts against the heat sinks. The outside of the heat sinks is detachably connected to the fan. The outlet of the water-cooling pipes is connected to the inlet of the water tank. The outlet of the water tank is connected to the inlet of the water pump through a connecting pipe. The outlet of the water pump is connected to the inlet of the water-cooling pipes.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the water-cooled pipe includes a horizontal pipe and a first serpentine pipe. Both the horizontal pipe and the first serpentine pipe are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air compressor body.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses an air compressor for use in coal mines, including an air compressor body 1 and a water cooling device 2, which is used to dissipate heat from the air compressor body 1. Specifically, the water cooling device 2 includes a water cooling pipe 21, a heat sink 22, a fan 23, a water storage tank 24, and a water pump 25.
[0027] The water-cooled pipe 21 includes a horizontal pipe 211, a first serpentine pipe 212, and a second serpentine pipe 213. Both the horizontal pipe 211 and the first serpentine pipe 212 are fixedly connected to the outer casing of the air compressor body 1, and the horizontal pipe 211 and the first serpentine pipe 212 are in communication. Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal tube 211 is positioned above the first serpentine tube 212. The first serpentine tube 212 is connected to the second serpentine tube 213. The second serpentine tube 213 extends to the outside of the air compressor body 1, and the outer wall of the second serpentine tube 213 abuts against the heat sink 22.
[0028] The heat sink 22 includes a first heat sink 221 and a second heat sink 222, which respectively wrap around the two ends of the outer wall of the second serpentine tube 213. Specifically, the first heat sink 221 has a first groove 2211 in the middle, and multiple first mounting plates 2212 are fixedly connected to the edge of the side wall of the first heat sink 221. The second heat sink 222 has the same structure as the first heat sink 221, with a second groove 2221 in the middle, and multiple second mounting plates 2222 are fixedly connected to the edge of the side wall of the second heat sink 222. The number of second mounting plates 2222 is the same as the number of first mounting plates 2212, and their positions correspond. In use, the first groove 2211 is aligned with the second groove 2221, the second serpentine tube 213 is installed between the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2221, and then the bolt 27 is passed through the first mounting plate 2212 and the second mounting plate 2222, the nut is tightened, and the first mounting plate 2212 and the second mounting plate 2222 are connected as a whole.
[0029] like Figure 5As shown, the fan 23 is located on the outside of the second heat sink 222. As a connection method for the fan 23, a through hole for accommodating the bolt 27 is provided on the outer edge of the fan 23. In use, the bolt 27 is passed through the through hole, the second mounting plate 2222, and the first mounting plate 2212 in sequence, and then the bolt 27 is fixed with a nut. At this time, the head of the bolt 27 abuts against the outer edge of the fan 23, and the nut abuts against the first mounting plate 2212, thereby realizing that the fan 23, the second heat sink 222, and the first heat sink 221 are connected into a whole by a single bolt 27 at one connection point.
[0030] One end of the second serpentine tube 213 serves as the outlet of the water-cooling tube 21 and is connected to the inlet of the water storage tank 24. The outlet of the water storage tank 24 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 25 through the connecting pipe 26, and the outlet of the water pump 25 is connected to the inlet of the horizontal tube 211.
[0031] In use, the water pump 25 and fan 23 are started, and water flows out from the water tank 24. The water flows sequentially through the connecting pipe 26, the water pump 25, the horizontal pipe 211, the first serpentine pipe 212, and the second serpentine pipe 213, and finally flows back to the water tank 24. The water in the horizontal pipe 211 and the first serpentine pipe 212 absorbs the heat from the air compressor body 1. Then the hot water flows through the second serpentine pipe 213, and the fan 23 rotates, thereby cooling the heat sink 22, which in turn cools the water.
[0032] It should be noted that all of the above pipes must be connected in a sealed manner.
[0033] In order to prevent air from being trapped inside the water-cooling tube 21 and causing blockage and cavitation, a small hole 2121 can be opened at the highest point of the first serpentine tube 212. The small hole 2121 can be connected to the exhaust pipe (not shown in the figure), so that the air in the water channel can be discharged from the small hole 2121 without affecting the normal water flow.
[0034] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
