Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air compressor technology, specifically relating to an energy-saving split-type cooling air duct structure for air compressors. Background Technology

[0002] Air compressors, as a type of power equipment widely used in industrial fields, generate a large amount of heat during operation. If heat dissipation is not timely, it will lead to decreased equipment efficiency, increased energy consumption, and even affect the equipment's lifespan. Therefore, the cooling system of an air compressor is crucial. Currently, the common cooling methods for air compressors are mainly divided into two types: air cooling and water cooling.

[0003] Traditional air-cooled heat dissipation structures typically employ a combination of heat dissipation fins and fans to dissipate heat through forced convection. However, this method has limited heat dissipation efficiency under high temperature or high load conditions, and the fans are prone to dust accumulation during long-term operation, affecting heat dissipation performance. While water-cooled heat dissipation is more efficient, it has a complex structure, high maintenance costs, and requires an additional coolant circulation system, increasing energy consumption. To address these issues, we designed an energy-saving split-type cooling air duct structure for air compressors, providing an alternative technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-8 An energy-saving split-type cooling air duct structure for an air compressor includes an air compressor cylinder 1, a U-shaped air duct 2 fixed on the top of the air compressor cylinder 1, an air compressor head set on the top of the U-shaped air duct 2, and a heat dissipation component set on the top of the U-shaped air duct 2. The heat dissipation component is composed of multiple horizontal heat dissipation fins 3, and multiple U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipes 4 are evenly distributed inside the multiple horizontal heat dissipation fins 3.

[0026] A limiting mechanism is provided on the outer side of the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3, so that the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3 can be fixed inside the U-shaped air duct 2;

[0027] One end of the horizontal heat dissipation fin 3 is also equipped with a detachable air-cooling mechanism;

[0028] Liquid mixing tanks 6 are fixed at both ends of the bottom of the U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipe 4. A water pump 5 is bolted to one end of the bottom of the U-shaped air duct 2. The input end of the water pump 5 is connected to one of the liquid mixing tanks 6, and the output end of the water pump 5 is connected to the other liquid mixing tank 6. Through the operation of the water pump 5, liquid can enter the interior of the liquid mixing tank 6, and then the liquid can rotate inside the U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipe 4, so that the heat inside the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3 can be transferred to improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0029] The limiting mechanism includes a horizontal mounting plate 9, which is fixedly connected to the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3. Both ends of the horizontal mounting plate 9 are slidably connected to a horizontal rectangular slide plate 10. A horizontal slider 12 is fixed to one end of the horizontal rectangular slide plate 10. A U-shaped clamping block 13 is fixed to one end of the horizontal slider 12. The U-shaped clamping block 13 is clearance-fitted with the U-shaped air duct 2. A horizontal rigid spring 11 is provided between the two horizontal rectangular slide plates 10 and inside the horizontal mounting plate 9.

[0030] The interior of the horizontal mounting plate 9 is provided with a horizontal rectangular groove. The horizontal rectangular slide plate 10 is located inside the horizontal rectangular groove and is slidably connected to the horizontal mounting plate 9 through the setting of the horizontal rectangular groove. The setting of the horizontal rectangular groove allows the horizontal rectangular slide plate 10 to move laterally inside the horizontal mounting plate 9.

[0031] Here, when it is necessary to disassemble the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3, the U-shaped clamping block 13 is pushed toward the horizontal mounting plate 9, so that the horizontal rectangular sliding plate 10 can slide inside the horizontal mounting plate 9. The sliding of the horizontal rectangular sliding plate 10 causes the horizontal rigid spring 11 to be compressed, thereby allowing the U-shaped clamping block 13 to disengage from the outside of the U-shaped air duct 2, and thus allowing the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3 to be disassembled inside the U-shaped air duct 2.

[0032] The arrangement of multiple horizontal heat dissipation fins 3 and U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipes 4 allows the heat generated by the air compressor head to be transferred to the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3. The arrangement of the U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipes 4 allows the heat of the air compressor head to be transferred. The water pump 5 can be installed by bolts. After the output end and input end of the water pump 5 are connected to two liquid mixing tanks 6 respectively, the liquid can circulate inside the U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipes 4, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency and facilitating subsequent heat dissipation.

[0033] The air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism includes a heat sink 7. Multiple cooling fans 8 are evenly distributed and fixed inside the heat sink 7. A rectangular push plate 14 is provided on one side of the heat sink 7. Both ends of the rectangular push plate 14 are rotatably connected to an inclined rotating column 15 via a pin. One end of the inclined rotating column 15 is rotatably connected to a U-shaped sliding column 16. The U-shaped sliding column 16 is located inside the heat sink 7 and is slidably connected to the heat sink 7. A vertical clamping plate 17 is provided at the end of the U-shaped sliding column 16 near the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3. A longitudinal rigid spring 18 is provided between the two U-shaped sliding columns 16 and inside the heat sink 7. The vertical clamping plate 17 has a rectangular slot that is adapted to the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3. Through the setting of the rectangular slot, the vertical clamping plate 17 can be installed on the outside of the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3, so that the vertical clamping plate 17 and the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3 can be fixed, thereby allowing the heat sink 7 to be fixed on the outside of the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3.

[0034] The heat sink 7 has a longitudinal groove inside. The U-shaped sliding column 16 is located inside the longitudinal groove and is slidably connected to the heat sink 7 through the longitudinal groove. The longitudinal groove allows the U-shaped sliding column 16 to slide inside the heat sink 7, thereby causing the longitudinal rigid spring 18 to deform under force. When the U-shaped sliding column 16 moves away from the end of the heat sink 7, the vertical clamping plate 17 can release the restriction on the horizontal heat sink fins 3.

[0035] Here, the rectangular push plate 14 is pressed towards the heat sink 7. The pressing of the rectangular push plate 14 causes the U-shaped sliding column 16 to slide inside the heat sink 7 through the oblique rotating column 15. The sliding of the U-shaped sliding column 16 causes the longitudinal rigid spring 18 to be stretched by force. The movement of the U-shaped sliding column 16 causes the vertical clamping plate 17 to move. When the vertical clamping plate 17 moves out of the outer side of the horizontal heat sink 3, the connection between the vertical clamping plate 17 and the horizontal heat sink 3 is released, so that the heat sink 7 can be disassembled. When the heat sink 7 is installed at one end of the horizontal heat sink 3, the heat inside the horizontal heat sink 3 can be dissipated through the operation of the cooling fan 8.

[0036] The coolant is driven by the water pump 5 to circulate within the U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipe 4, forming liquid cooling. At the same time, the operation of the cooling fan 8 significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency, effectively reduces the operating temperature of the air compressor head, reduces energy consumption, and improves the heat dissipation effect. The air-cooled heat dissipation mechanism adopts a detachable design. When the cooling fan 8 is dusty or malfunctions, it can be quickly removed for cleaning or replacement without disassembling the entire equipment, reducing maintenance costs and improving equipment availability. The split design allows the air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems to work independently or in combination, suitable for air compressors of different power, and meeting diverse industrial needs.

[0037] Working principle: When it is necessary to disassemble the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3, the U-shaped clamping block 13 is pushed in the direction of the horizontal mounting plate 9, so that the horizontal rectangular sliding plate 10 can slide inside the horizontal mounting plate 9. The sliding of the horizontal rectangular sliding plate 10 causes the horizontal rigid spring 11 to be compressed, thereby allowing the U-shaped clamping block 13 to be disassembled from the outside of the U-shaped air duct 2, and thus allowing the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3 to be disassembled inside the U-shaped air duct 2.

[0038] The arrangement of multiple horizontal heat dissipation fins 3 and U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipes 4 allows the heat generated by the air compressor head to be transferred to the horizontal heat dissipation fins 3. The arrangement of the U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipes 4 allows the heat of the air compressor head to be transferred. The water pump 5 can be installed by bolts. After the output end and input end of the water pump 5 are connected to two liquid mixing tanks 6 respectively, the liquid can circulate inside the U-shaped heat dissipation copper pipes 4, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency and facilitating subsequent heat dissipation.

[0039] Press the rectangular push plate 14 towards the heat sink 7. The pressing of the rectangular push plate 14 causes the U-shaped sliding column 16 to slide inside the heat sink 7 through the oblique rotating column 15. The sliding of the U-shaped sliding column 16 causes the longitudinal rigid spring 18 to be stretched by force. The movement of the U-shaped sliding column 16 causes the vertical clamping plate 17 to move. When the vertical clamping plate 17 moves out of the outer side of the horizontal heat sink 3, the connection between the vertical clamping plate 17 and the horizontal heat sink 3 is released, so that the heat sink 7 can be disassembled. When the heat sink 7 is installed at one end of the horizontal heat sink 3, the heat inside the horizontal heat sink 3 can be dissipated through the operation of the cooling fan 8.
