Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler and heat exchange technology, and in particular to a hydraulically driven portable air cooler. Background Technology
[0002] An air cooler is a device that dissipates heat through air convection. It is commonly used in various industrial systems, especially for high-temperature equipment requiring cooling. Air coolers typically employ a fan and cooling duct design, utilizing airflow to remove heat. They are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, power generation, and machinery manufacturing. However, the following shortcomings still exist in the installation and use of air coolers:
[0003] 1. In order to ensure the normal operation of air coolers, improve working efficiency and extend the service life of equipment, most existing air coolers are installed horizontally and fixedly. This means that air coolers need to occupy a lot of space during installation. For some places with limited space, it is impossible to provide enough floor space and heat exchange space for air coolers, which limits the scope of use of air coolers.
[0004] 2. Currently, due to the bulky nature of the equipment and the limitations of its piping connections, air coolers are typically installed in a fixed position, requiring lifting equipment for hoisting and installation, which is very inconvenient.
[0005] 3. Since air coolers are often installed adjacent to other equipment, the daily inspection and maintenance of air coolers greatly affects the operation of the staff.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mobile air cooler that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0007] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a hydraulically driven movable air cooler. Through the cooperation of the outer frame and the inner frame, this utility model can not only store the air cooler vertically, which greatly saves the space occupied by the air cooler, but also facilitate the sliding and pushing of the air cooler while providing daily protection, which greatly facilitates the subsequent inspection and maintenance of the air cooler.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] A hydraulically driven portable air cooler includes an outer frame, which includes two parallel and corresponding portal frames. Several connecting rods are evenly distributed around the circumference of the two portal frames and are used to connect the two portal frames. Each of the two portal frames has a mounting base at its lower end. An inner frame for vertically storing the air cooler is provided inside the outer frame. Several pulleys are evenly distributed at the bottom of the inner frame. A mounting plate is provided on the inner side of one of the portal frames inside the outer frame. A hydraulic cylinder is provided on the mounting plate for pushing the inner frame to slide out of the outer frame through the other portal frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner frame includes a rectangular frame and limiting rods. Several limiting rods are provided on one side of the rectangular frame, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rectangular frame and perpendicular to the rectangular frame. The air cooler is installed between the limiting rods, and several pulleys are installed at the lower part of the limiting rods on the lower side of the rectangular frame.
[0011] Furthermore, each limiting rod located on the lower side of the rectangular frame is equipped with pulleys at both ends of its lower part.
[0012] Furthermore, the rectangular frame is equipped with reinforcing rods for limiting and blocking the air cooler.
[0013] Furthermore, several connecting rods on both sides of the outer frame are correspondingly set with several limiting rods on both sides of the inner frame. The inner side of the connecting rod corresponding to the limiting rod is provided with a groove that is set along the axial direction of the connecting rod and has an open structure at one end. The outer side of the limiting rod corresponding to the connecting rod is provided with a protruding ridge that is set along the axial direction of the connecting rod and is adapted to the groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the slide groove is provided with several mounting screw holes spaced apart along the axial direction of the slide groove and passing through the connecting rod. On the side of the convex ridge facing the slide groove, there are several limiting screw holes that correspond one-to-one with the mounting screw holes. The mounting screw holes are provided with limiting bolts that are threadedly connected to the corresponding limiting screw holes.
[0015] Furthermore, a limiting baffle is provided inside the portal frame away from the open end of the slide groove to limit and block the inner frame.
[0016] Furthermore, several limiting rods on one side of the rectangular frame are positioned opposite to the limiting baffle.
[0017] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are provided at the corners of the gantry frame away from the open end of the chute.
[0018] Furthermore, a side plate for installing cooling medium is provided on one side of the outer frame.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by vertically storing the inner frame of the air cooler, the traditional horizontal installation method of air coolers is avoided, which greatly saves the floor space.
[0020] By setting pulleys and hydraulic cylinders, the inner frame can be slid out of the outer frame, which not only greatly facilitates the installation of the air cooler and subsequent inspection and maintenance, but also increases the air intake area of the air cooler by pushing the air cooler out of the outer frame.
[0021] The inner and outer frames work together to provide safe and effective protection for the air cooler, allowing it to be placed securely.
[0022] By setting the sliding groove and the protruding rib, the inner frame can always remain horizontal and stable during the sliding process, preventing the air cooler from being damaged by collision due to the shaking of the inner frame.
[0023] By setting limit bolts and limit baffles, the inner frame can be effectively limited and blocked, providing strong support for the stable and secure installation of the air cooler;
[0024] By installing pulleys at both ends of the lower limiting rod, the stability of the inner frame can be greatly improved, providing effective horizontal support for the air cooler, and also providing strong support for the subsequent sliding of the inner frame.
[0025] By combining the limiting baffle and the reinforcing rod, the front and rear sides of the air cooler can be effectively limited and blocked, thus achieving the limiting protection of the air cooler.
[0026] This utility model, through the cooperation of the outer and inner frames, not only allows for the vertical storage of the air cooler, greatly saving its footprint, but also facilitates its sliding movement while providing daily protection, thus greatly simplifying subsequent inspection and maintenance. The simple structure and convenient operation of this utility model greatly facilitate the installation and subsequent maintenance of the air cooler, making it highly valuable for promotion and practical application.

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. In the description, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right" indicating the orientation or positional relationship, they are only corresponding to the drawings of this utility model for the convenience of describing this utility model, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation.
[0032] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0033] Example 1: A hydraulically driven movable air cooler includes an outer frame 1, which includes two parallel and corresponding portal frames 6. Several connecting rods 9, evenly distributed circumferentially along the two portal frames 6, are provided between them. Each portal frame 6 has a mounting base 14 at its lower end, with bolts for fixing the portal frames 6. An inner frame 2 for vertically storing the air cooler 3 is located inside the outer frame 1. Several pulleys 5 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the inner frame 2. A mounting plate 13 is provided inside one of the portal frames 6 within the outer frame 1. A hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided on the mounting plate 13 to push the inner frame 2 out of the outer frame 1 via the other portal frame 6. The hydraulic cylinder 4 can be an electric hydraulic cylinder. When the air cooler 3 needs to be installed or maintained, the inner frame 2 can be easily and efficiently installed or maintained by pushing it out of the outer frame 1 using the hydraulic cylinder 4.
[0034] In embodiment two, to facilitate the installation of the air cooler 3 within the inner frame 2, the inner frame 2 includes a rectangular frame 19 and limiting rods 16. Several limiting rods 16 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rectangular frame 19 and perpendicular to the rectangular frame 19 on one side. The air cooler 3 is installed between the limiting rods 16 and fixed with bolts. Several pulleys 5 are installed at the lower part of the limiting rods 16 on the lower side of the rectangular frame 19. To ensure that the limiting rods 16 on the lower side of the rectangular frame 19 effectively support the air cooler 3, pulleys 5 are provided at both ends of the lower part of each limiting rod 16 located on the lower side of the rectangular frame 19. The pulleys 5 at both ends of the lower part of the limiting rods 16 can not only greatly improve the load-bearing capacity of the limiting rods 16, but also ensure the stable sliding of the inner frame 2.
[0035] In the third embodiment, when the inner frame 2 is slid by the pulley 5, in order to ensure that the inner frame 2 can slide into the outer frame 1 accurately and efficiently without colliding with the outer frame 1, several connecting rods 9 on both sides of the outer frame 1 are correspondingly set with several limiting rods 16 on both sides of the inner frame 2. The inner side of the connecting rod 9 corresponding to the limiting rod 16 is provided with a groove 10 that is set along the axial direction of the connecting rod 9 and has an open structure at one end. The outer side of the limiting rod 16 corresponding to the connecting rod 9 is provided with a protruding ridge 18 that is set along the axial direction of the connecting rod 9 and is adapted to the groove 10.
[0036] In order to limit and fix the inner frame 2 and prevent the inner frame 2 from sliding accidentally, the bottom surface of the slide groove 10 is provided with several mounting screw holes 11 that are spaced apart along the axial direction of the slide groove 10 and pass through the connecting rod 9. The side of the protrusion 18 facing the slide groove 10 is provided with several limiting screw holes 17 that correspond one-to-one with the mounting screw holes 11. The mounting screw holes 11 are provided with limiting bolts 8 that are threadedly connected to the corresponding limiting screw holes 17.
[0037] In Example 4, during the installation of the air cooler 3, to prevent the air cooler 3 from tipping over and falling from both ends of the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2, a reinforcing rod 20 is provided in the rectangular frame 19 of the inner frame 2 to limit and block one end face of the air cooler 3. A limiting baffle 12 is provided in the portal frame 6 of the outer frame 1 away from the open end of the slide groove 10 to limit and block the other end face of the inner frame 2. In order to achieve the limiting and blocking protection of both ends of the air cooler 3 by the reinforcing rod 20 and the limiting baffle 12, the limiting rod 16 in the inner frame 2 is set opposite to the limiting baffle 12 in the outer frame 1. This ensures that the reinforcing rod 20 and the limiting baffle 12 are necessarily located at both ends of the air cooler 3.
[0038] In Example 5, to facilitate the subsequent pipeline connection of the air cooler 3 to other equipment, a side plate 15 for installing the cooling medium is provided on one side of the outer frame 1. The air cooler 3 can be connected to the cooling medium by a metal flexible hose. In order to ensure the strength of the outer frame 1, a reinforcing rib 7 is provided at the corner of the portal frame 6 away from the open end of the slide groove 10 inside the outer frame 1.
