Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a protective component for a heat exchange packing module used in evaporative cooling air conditioning equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Evaporative air conditioning is an air conditioning device based on the principle of water evaporation cooling heat exchange. As air flows through a water film, the enthalpy-humidity difference between the water film surface and the flowing air causes water to diffuse from the water film surface into the air, i.e., evaporation occurs. During this process, water vapor absorbs a large amount of latent heat energy, thereby lowering the temperature of both the air and water. The packing material in an evaporative air conditioning system is the main site for heat exchange by water vapor.
[0003] The packing material in evaporative cooling air conditioners, also known as wet curtains, is a core component of this type of air conditioner, and its performance directly affects the operating efficiency of the unit. The physical properties of the packing material, such as thickness, specific surface area, and material, are closely related to the evaporative cooling efficiency and other application performance of the unit. Ideal packing material should possess the following characteristics: large specific surface area and strong water absorption capacity; corrosion resistance and resistance to bacterial growth; good wet stiffness, preventing collapse or deformation even after prolonged contact with water; good flame retardancy, reducing the risk of fire caused by electrical faults; and environmental friendliness, being non-toxic and harmless. Currently, the most commonly used packing materials are paper curtains and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) curtains. Paper curtains have advantages such as large specific surface area, strong water absorption capacity, ease of production, and low cost, but they also have drawbacks such as short lifespan, poor antibacterial and anti-mildew properties, and insufficient flame retardancy, posing certain hygiene and safety hazards. PVC curtains, on the other hand, are easy to produce, low in cost, and possess the advantages of flame retardancy and mildew resistance, but their water absorption and cooling efficiency are relatively poor.
[0004] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of paper curtains and PVC curtains, the inventor of this invention uses porous ceramics as a substitute material and further processes it into porous ceramic fillers. The porous ceramic surface has a densely distributed macroporous structure, which not only has strong water absorption but also, due to its inorganic properties, possesses advantages such as flame retardancy, mildew resistance, and long service life. Porous ceramic fillers combine the advantages of paper fibers and PVC, making them the optimal choice for heat exchange fillers in evaporative cooling air conditioning units.
[0005] For a long time, the inventors of utility models have been exploring industrialization pathways for porous ceramic packings. They have assembled scattered porous ceramic sheets into modules using fixed frames and applied for a number of patents, such as "A through-type porous ceramic wet curtain" (patent number: CN 104197445 B), "A stacked porous ceramic wet curtain" (patent number: CN 204084701 U), "A belt-type porous ceramic packing" (patent number: CN201921413554.9), "An integral porous ceramic packing" (patent number: ZL202110737499.4), and "A self-connecting porous ceramic packing" (patent number: ZL 202320084070.4).
[0006] Although porous ceramic sheets have excellent performance characteristics such as high cooling efficiency, long life, flame retardancy, and acid and alkali resistance in evaporative cooling air conditioners, their low strength and fragility cannot be ignored. Utility Model Content
[0007] This invention provides a protective component for porous ceramic packing, which improves the problem of fragile porous ceramic sheets inside porous ceramic packing.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A porous ceramic filler protective component, comprising:
[0010] Two narrow-sided protective frames are arranged opposite each other at a predetermined distance;
[0011] Multiple narrow corner protectors are connected between two narrow protective frames, and several short clips are spaced apart on the narrow corner protectors.
[0012] As described above, the porous ceramic filler protective component further includes a narrow-edge protective frame comprising a protective sheet and a narrow-edge frame strip disposed along the side of the protective sheet. The two ends of the narrow-edge corner protector strip are provided with connecting buckles, which are used to fasten onto the narrow-edge frame strip.
[0013] As described above, the porous ceramic filler protective component further includes a first perforation on the narrow side strip of the frame and a second perforation on the protective sheet.
[0014] In the porous ceramic filler protective component described above, a long clip is further provided between two adjacent short clips.
[0015] Furthermore, in the porous ceramic filler protective component described above, the narrow-edge protective frame and the narrow-edge corner protector are made of materials that balance hardness and toughness.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. The protective component of this utility model uses a high-strength material to protect the edges and outer side of the porous ceramic filler, effectively preventing it from being damaged by external impact; the clips on the inner side of the narrow-edge corner guard can prevent the ceramic pieces from shaking and shifting, causing collisions and damage. At the same time, the narrow edges and hollow strips and pieces replace large-area supports, which more effectively protects the corners and edges of the filler that are easily damaged.
[0018] 2. The protective component of this utility model provides installation positioning for the dispersed porous ceramic sheets, which greatly improves the installation and production efficiency of the product; and the protective component is installed on the edge and outside of the porous ceramic filler, making the whole neat and flat, which is more conducive to the installation and stacking of the product.
[0019] 3. The protection method of the previous large-area brackets has been changed to use narrow edges and hollow strips and sheets, which greatly reduces the material cost of protective components. Attached Figure Description

Figures 1 to 4 As shown.
[0031] This utility model embodiment provides a porous ceramic filler protective component, which includes:
[0032] Two narrow-sided protective frames are arranged opposite each other at a predetermined distance; with attachment Figure 4 The following is an example of the effect diagram of the porous ceramic packing protective component implemented on the porous ceramic packing. The porous ceramic packing is a cuboid and contains multiple porous ceramic pieces. When the two narrow-sided protective frames are assembled into the porous ceramic packing protective component, they are located on both sides of the porous ceramic packing.
[0033] Multiple narrow-edge corner protectors 1 are connected between two narrow-edge protective frames. Several short clips 2 are spaced apart on the narrow-edge corner protectors 1. When the multiple narrow-edge corner protectors 1 are assembled into a porous ceramic packing protective component, they are located on the four edges of the porous ceramic packing. Several short clips 2 are located between the multiple porous ceramic pieces of the porous ceramic packing. The thickness of the short clips 2 is approximately equal to the width between two adjacent porous ceramic pieces in the porous ceramic packing. The short clips 2 are used to prevent the multiple porous ceramic pieces from shaking and shifting, causing collisions and damage.
[0034] Therefore, the porous ceramic packing protective component provided in this utility model embodiment can protect the two sides of the porous ceramic packing with the two narrow-side protective frames, and the multiple narrow-side corner protectors 1 can protect the edges of the porous ceramic packing, thereby preventing it from being damaged by external force collision. The short clips 2 can also prevent the multiple porous ceramic pieces from shaking and shifting, causing collision and damage.
[0035] In some embodiments, the narrow-edge protective frame includes a protective sheet 6 and a narrow-edge strip 5 disposed along the side of the protective sheet 6. The two ends of the narrow-edge corner protector 1 are provided with connecting buckles 4, which are used to fasten onto the narrow-edge strip 5.
[0036] In some embodiments, the narrow side strip 5 is provided with a first hollow 7, and the protective sheet 6 is provided with a second hollow 8. Multiple first hollow 7s can be provided along the length of the narrow side strip 5, and multiple second hollow 8s can be provided along the length of the protective sheet 6. Compared to the prior art that uses a large-area support to protect multiple porous ceramic sheets of porous ceramic filler, the porous ceramic filler protective component provided in this embodiment of the invention, by setting narrow-edge corner guards 1 and a narrow-edge protective frame, and by providing first hollow 7s on the narrow side strip 5 and second hollow 8s on the protective sheet 6, specifically protects the vulnerable corners and edges of the porous ceramic filler, and can also significantly reduce the material cost of the protective component.
[0037] In some embodiments, a long clamping member 3 is provided between two adjacent short clamping members 2. The long clamping member 3 is used to clamp the connecting member between multiple porous ceramic sheets. Specifically, with reference to the attached... Figure 4 The illustrated diagram shows the effect of the porous ceramic packing protective component implemented on the porous ceramic packing. Each porous ceramic sheet has at least one groove at a corresponding position. A metal strip corresponding to the groove serves as the connecting member. The metal strip passes through the grooves of multiple regularly arranged porous ceramic sheets and is sealed with adhesive. Therefore, the porous ceramic packing protective component provided by this embodiment provides installation positioning for dispersed porous ceramic sheets, significantly improving product installation efficiency. Furthermore, the protective component is installed on the edge and outer side of the porous ceramic packing, making the porous ceramic packing neat and flat, which is more conducive to product installation and stacking.
[0038] In some embodiments, the narrow-edge protective frame and the narrow-edge corner protector 1 are made of a material that balances hardness and toughness. Exemplarily, the material balancing hardness and toughness can be polymer, metal, rubber, wood, etc. The use of a material balancing hardness and toughness in the narrow-edge protective frame and the narrow-edge corner protector 1 can protect the edges and outer sides of the porous ceramic filler, effectively preventing it from being damaged by external impacts.
