Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chiller enclosure technology, and in particular to an easy-to-install air-cooled chiller enclosure. Background Technology

[0002] An air-cooled chiller is a chiller that uses a built-in fan as a heat dissipation device. It mainly includes a refrigeration system, a water circulation system, and a heat exchange system. The heat exchange system primarily consists of a condenser and a fan. Room temperature water exchanges heat with a refrigerant (usually refrigerant), causing the water temperature to drop. The refrigerant, now warmer after the heat exchange, is then passed into the condenser, where the fan causes it to exchange heat with the outside air, further lowering the refrigerant's temperature.

[0003] Existing air-cooled units are mostly fixed with bolts and nuts during installation. The installation process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring professional technicians to spend a lot of time assembling them. It is also easy for problems such as inconsistent bolt tightening and omissions to be installed during the installation process, which will affect the overall sealing and stability of the chassis. On the other hand, when it is necessary to repair or replace parts of the air-cooled unit, the disassembly of the cumbersome fixing device becomes a major obstacle.

[0030] An easy-to-install air-cooled chiller chassis includes: a chiller chassis 1, with air inlets 2 and unit mounting plates 3 respectively provided on both sides of the chiller chassis 1. Multiple air-cooled chiller units 4 are provided on the unit mounting plates 3. Air outlets 5 are opened on the part of the unit mounting plates 3 corresponding to the installation positions of the air-cooled chiller units 4. The left and right sides of the inner wall of the chiller chassis 1 are provided with connecting blocks 8 and unlocking components 10. The left and right sides of the unit mounting plates 3 are provided with plug-in parts 9, and the positions of the plug-in parts 9 correspond to the connecting blocks 8 and unlocking components 10.

[0031] When installing the air-cooled unit 4, align the connectors 9 on the left and right sides of the unit mounting plate 3 with the positions of the docking blocks 8 and insert them. After insertion, the connectors 9 and the docking blocks 8 are locked together, thereby fixing the unit mounting plate 3 on the chiller casing 1. When the air-cooled unit 4 needs to be inspected, rotate the unlocking component 10 at the same time to disengage the connectors 9 on both sides from the docking blocks 8 and remove the unit mounting plate 3.

[0032] The air-cooled unit 4 includes a mounting frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the unit mounting plate 3. A drive motor 42 and a fan 43 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 41.

[0033] The two adjacent sets of air-cooled units 4 are fixedly connected by their mounting brackets 41, which enhances the stability of the installation of the air-cooled units 4.

[0034] The docking block 8 includes a docking block body 81. The docking block body 81 has a first docking inclined surface 82 at one end facing the outside of the chiller casing 1. The docking block body 81 has an insertion groove 83. The insertion groove 83 has a positioning block 84 inside. The insertion groove 83 has an unlocking groove 85 at one end facing the inside of the chiller casing 1.

[0035] The insertion slot 83 corresponds to the insertion component 9, and the unlocking slot 85 corresponds to the unlocking component 10.

[0036] The connector 9 includes a fixing plate 91, on which a reinforcing member 92 and a telescopic sleeve 93 are provided. The reinforcing member 92 is fixedly connected to the unit mounting plate 3. The end of the telescopic sleeve 93 is fixedly connected to a connector block body 94. The connector block body 94 is provided with a second mating slope 95 and an abutment surface 97. The second mating slope 95 corresponds to the first mating slope 82. The connector block body 94 is provided with a positioning groove 96, the position of which corresponds to the positioning block 84.

[0037] When the connector 9 is inserted into the mating block 8, the second mating slope 95 contacts and presses against the first mating slope 82, causing the telescopic sleeve 93 to retract. When the connector body 94 continues to move inward to the position of the connector groove 83, the telescopic sleeve 93 rebounds because the mating block body 81 no longer presses against the connector body 94, pushing the connector body 94 into the interior of the connector groove 83. At the same time, the positioning block 84 is inserted into the positioning groove 96, further increasing the accuracy of locking.

[0038] The unlocking assembly 10 includes a bracket 101, on which a first limiting sleeve 102 and a second limiting sleeve 103 are provided. A rotating rod 104 is rotatably connected to the first limiting sleeve 102. A rotating wheel 105 is provided at one end of the rotating rod 104 extending to the outside of the unit mounting plate 3. A first bevel gear 106 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 104. A threaded rod 107 is threadedly connected to the second limiting sleeve 103. A second bevel gear 108 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 107. An unlocking block 109 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 107. The unlocking block 109 corresponds to the abutment surface 97.

[0039] Rotating the wheel 105 drives the rotating rod 104 and the first bevel gear 106 to rotate, and then the second bevel gear 108 drives the threaded rod 107 to move towards the plug-in 9, so that the unlocking block 109 abuts against the abutting surface 97 and pushes it away from the plug-in groove 83, so that the docking block 8 no longer restricts the plug-in 9, and the unlocking is completed.

[0040] The unit mounting plate 3 is provided with first locking plates 6 on the upper and lower sides, and the chiller casing 1 is provided with second locking plates 7 on the upper and lower sides inside. The position of the second locking plates 7 corresponds to the first locking plates 6. The part of the unit mounting plate 3 that contacts the chiller casing 1 is provided with a sound-absorbing part 11.

[0041] The first locking plate 6 has evenly distributed protrusions, and the second locking plate 7 has evenly distributed grooves. The edges of the protrusions are arc-shaped, making the process of pushing and installing the unit mounting plate 3 smoother. After installation, the protrusions on the first locking plate 6 match the grooves on the second locking plate 7, increasing the installation stability of the unit mounting plate 3. The sound-absorbing part 11 is installed in the gap between the unit mounting plate 3 and the chiller casing 1 to absorb some of the noise generated by the air-cooled unit 4 during operation.

[0042] The working principle of the easy-to-install air-cooled chiller enclosure provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0043] When installing the air-cooled unit 4, align the connectors 9 on the left and right sides of the unit mounting plate 3 with the positions of the docking blocks 8 and insert them. After insertion, the connectors 9 and the docking blocks 8 are locked together, thereby fixing the unit mounting plate 3 on the chiller casing 1. When the air-cooled unit 4 needs to be inspected, rotate the unlocking component 10 at the same time to disengage the connectors 9 on both sides from the docking blocks 8 and remove the unit mounting plate 3.

[0044] Compared with related technologies, the air-cooled chiller enclosure provided by this utility model, which is easy to install, has the following advantages:

[0045] With the connectors 9 on the left and right sides of the unit mounting plate 3, and the corresponding docking blocks 8 and unlocking components 10 on both sides of the chiller casing 1, the installation can be completed simply by aligning the connectors 9 with the docking blocks 8 and pushing the unit mounting plate 3 inward when inserting it. The unlocking process is also relatively simple, which simplifies the installation process and reduces the maintenance difficulty of the air-cooled unit 4.

[0046] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
