DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0025] The utility model provides a circulating drive structure of thermosyphon cooler, like Figs. 1-3As shown, it includes an evaporator 1, an air-liquid separation tank 2 is arranged above the evaporator 1, an air cooler 3 is arranged above the air-liquid separation tank 2, one end of the top of the evaporator 1 is connected with one end of the top of the air-liquid separation tank 2 through a gas conveying pipe 11, one end of the top of the air-liquid separation tank 2 is connected with one end of the top of the air cooler 3 through a gas separation pipe 21, the other end of the bottom of the evaporator 1 is connected with the other end of the bottom of the air-liquid separation tank 2 through a liquid return pipe 12, and the other end of the top of the air-liquid separation tank 2 is connected with the other end of the bottom of the air cooler 3 through a liquid path pipe 31. Through the careful design of the component layout and the pipeline connection, the efficient and stable circulation driving effect is realized. Specifically, the evaporator 1, the air-liquid separation tank 2 and the air cooler 3 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, and are tightly connected through the pipeline system such as the gas conveying pipe 11, the gas separation pipe 21, the liquid return pipe 12 and the liquid path pipe 31, forming a complete and closed circulation driving structure.
[0026] In this structure, the gas-liquid mixture generated by the evaporator 1 first enters the air-liquid separation tank 2 through the gas conveying pipe 11 for gas-liquid separation. The design of the air-liquid separation tank 2 can effectively separate the gas and the liquid, avoiding the problems such as blockage and poor flow that easily occur when the gas-liquid mixture flows in the pipeline in the traditional structure. The separated gas enters the air cooler 3 through the gas separation pipe 21 for cooling treatment, and the liquid returns to the evaporator 1 through the liquid return pipe 12 for recycling. At the same time, the other end of the top of the air-liquid separation tank 2 is also connected with the other end of the bottom of the air cooler 3 through the liquid path pipe 31, ensuring that the cooled liquid can flow back to the evaporator 1 smoothly, forming a continuous circulation process.
[0027] The design of this circulation driving structure not only improves the overall performance of the cooler, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the system. By optimizing the pipeline layout and connection method, the energy loss and leakage risk are reduced, and the cooling efficiency is improved. At the same time, the arrangement of the air-liquid separation tank 2 and the air cooler 3 also helps to prolong the service life of the equipment and reduce the maintenance cost.
[0028] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the gas separation pipe 21 is provided with a sedimentation bin 5, and a plurality of baffles 51 are vertically arranged inside the top of the sedimentation bin 5. This design effectively improves the sedimentation efficiency of impurities in the gas. The presence of the baffles 51 slows down the flow rate of the gas, allowing heavier impurity particles to have more opportunities to deposit in the sedimentation bin 5, thereby avoiding these impurities from entering the subsequent air cooler 3, ensuring the cleanliness and operating efficiency of the cooling system.
[0029] Specifically, one side of the sedimentation bin 5 is provided with a impurity removal port 52, and a cover plate is installed outside the impurity removal port 52. This provides a convenient way for users to clean impurities. When a certain amount of impurities accumulates in the sedimentation bin, users can easily remove the impurities from the impurity removal port 52 by opening the cover plate, which not only maintains the cleanliness of the system, but also prolongs the service life of the equipment.
[0030] Further, the middle section of the liquid return pipe 12 is provided with a impurity removal bin 4. This design further strengthens the purification process of the coolant. As a barrier in the liquid return path, the impurity removal bin 4 can effectively intercept and remove impurities carried in the coolant, ensuring high purity of the coolant returned to the evaporator, thereby improving the performance and stability of the entire cooling system.
[0031] Further, the inside of the impurity removal bin 4 is provided with a filter screen 41, one side of the impurity removal bin 4 is connected with a high-pressure gas pump 42 at the lower part, and one side of the impurity removal bin 4 is connected with an exhaust pipe 43 at the upper part, and an exhaust valve 431 is installed on the exhaust pipe 43. The above-mentioned structure jointly constitutes a high-efficiency impurity removal system. The filter screen 41 can finely filter the impurities in the coolant, and the high-pressure gas pump 42 provides necessary power support when cleaning impurities. Through the cooperation of the exhaust pipe 43 and the exhaust valve 431, the gas in the bin can be easily discharged, the pressure balance in the bin is maintained, and the smooth progress of the impurity removal process is ensured.
[0032] Further, the upper part of the impurity removal bin 4 is provided with a liquid inlet, the lower part of the impurity removal bin 4 is provided with a liquid outlet, the upper valve 122 is installed on the liquid inlet of the impurity removal bin 4, and the lower valve 121 is installed on the liquid outlet of the impurity removal bin 4. This provides users with flexible control options. By adjusting the opening and closing states of the two valves, users can accurately control the flow of liquid in the impurity removal bin 4.
[0033] Further, the evaporator 1, the gas-liquid separation tank 2 and the air cooler 3 are arranged in equal intervals from top to bottom. This layout not only looks beautiful and compact, but also facilitates the smooth flow of coolant and the effective transfer of heat. The equal-interval arrangement ensures that the lengths of the connecting pipes between the components are equal, reducing energy loss and flow resistance caused by differences in pipe length, and improving the performance of the entire cooling system.
[0034] Further, the baffles 51 are arranged in equal intervals. This design ensures that the gas can uniformly decelerate when passing through the sedimentation bin, allowing impurity particles to have more uniform opportunities to settle down. The equal-interval arrangement also optimizes the space utilization of the sedimentation bin and improves the sedimentation efficiency of impurities.
[0035] The circulating driving structure of the thermosiphon cooler in use firstly in the evaporator 1, the coolant is heated and evaporated, and a mixture of gas and liquid is formed.
[0036] The gas and liquid mixture generated by evaporation enters the gas-liquid separation tank 2 through the gas conveying pipe 11. In the gas-liquid separation tank 2, the gas and liquid are naturally separated due to the change of gravity and flow rate. The gas continues to flow upward through the gas separation pipe 21, and the liquid returns to the evaporator 1 through the liquid return pipe 12.
[0037] The separated gas enters the air cooler 3 through the gas separation pipe 21. In the air cooler 3, the gas exchanges heat with the external environment and is cooled to change into liquid or gas-liquid mixture.
[0038] Before the gas enters the air cooler 3, it will first pass through the sedimentation bin 5. The baffle 51 inside the sedimentation bin 5 slows down the flow rate of the gas, so that heavier impurity particles are deposited. The user can periodically open the cover of the impurity removal port 52 to clean the impurities in the sedimentation bin 5
[0039] The liquid returned from the evaporator 1 enters the impurity removal bin 4 through the liquid return pipe 12. In the impurity removal bin 4, the filter screen 41 intercepts and removes the impurities in the liquid. When cleaning the impurities, the high-pressure gas pump 42 provides power support, and the gas in the bin is discharged through the exhaust pipe 43 and the exhaust valve 431 to maintain pressure balance. The pure liquid continues to return to the evaporator 1 through the liquid return pipe 12 to complete the circulation.
[0040] Through the liquid path pipe 31, the cooled liquid or gas-liquid mixture in the air cooler 3 smoothly flows back to the evaporator 1. The evaporator 1, the gas-liquid separation tank 2 and the air cooler 3 are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom, which ensures smooth flow of the coolant and effective transfer of heat. This continuous and stable circulation process improves the overall performance of the cooler and enhances the stability and reliability of the system.
