Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of air coolers, and in particular to an air cooler with adjustable airflow direction. Background Technology

[0002] An evaporative air cooler is a multi-functional cooling and ventilation device. It not only cools the air but also provides ventilation, dust control, deodorization, and humidification. Evaporative air coolers are divided into industrial and household types. Industrial air coolers are commonly used in cold storage and cold chain logistics environments, while household air coolers are mostly used in homes, commercial and entertainment settings to bring fresh air and lower the temperature. Existing evaporative air coolers mainly consist of a shell, fins, heat exchange tubes, and air cooler connections. Airflow is delivered to the fins via the air cooler, and the heat exchange tubes transfer refrigerant to cool the fins. Once the fins are cooled, they cool the airflow, which is then discharged to the outside through the outlet on the shell, thus achieving the goal of cooling the indoor temperature.

[0003] While the above solution can cool the room, it still has the following problems: Since the air outlet on the casing is fixed, when the air is discharged to the outside, it can only cool one part of the room. This will result in better cooling effect at that location, while the cooling effect at the end far from the air outlet will only be achieved after the air enters that location, which will lead to uneven initial cooling of the room. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the existing technology and to propose an air cooler with adjustable airflow direction that can cool the room.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an air cooler with adjustable airflow direction, comprising: a housing with an air outlet on its side wall, an air cooler fixedly connected to the housing and communicating with the air outlet, and a cooling component disposed between the air cooler and the air outlet.

[0006] Also includes:

[0007] Air guide frame one, which is fixedly connected to the side of the housing located in the air cooler;

[0008] An air supply pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the housing near the cooling component, and one end of the air supply pipe extends to one side of the air cooler and communicates with the air guide frame.

[0009] Air guide frame 2 is located on one side of the gas transmission pipe and is connected to the transmission pipe through a pipeline;

[0010] A first seal is provided at the end of the gas supply pipe near the air cooler, and the first seal is capable of sealing the gas supply pipe;

[0011] The second seal is disposed on the transmission pipe and is capable of sealing the transmission pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the first sealing element includes: a sealing block fixedly connected to one end of the gas supply pipe near the transmission pipe, and a sealing plate fixedly connected to the transmission pipe by a driven swing, wherein a sealing strip is fixedly connected to the sealing plate, and the sealing strip can be in contact with one side wall of the sealing block, and the second sealing element is disposed at the end of the gas supply pipe away from the sealing plate.

[0013] Preferably, the second sealing element includes a second sealing block fixedly connected to the gas pipeline and a second sealing plate rotatably connected to the gas pipeline. A second sealing strip is fixedly connected to the second sealing plate, which can adhere to the side wall of the second sealing block.

[0014] Preferably, an air guide frame three is fixedly connected to one end of the housing near the air outlet, an air adjustment hinge is synchronously oscillating on the air guide frame three, and a driving component is provided on the air guide frame three, one end of which is connected to the air adjustment hinge.

[0015] Preferably, the driving component includes a plurality of spur gears rotatably connected to the air guide frame three, the spur gears being fixedly connected to one end of the air adjustment hinge, a rack meshing with the spur gears being slidably connected to the air guide frame three, and an electric push rod one being fixedly connected to the air guide frame three, the output shaft of the electric push rod one being fixedly connected to the rack.

[0016] Preferably, an air guide frame four is fixedly connected to the housing, and a filter screen is detachably and fixedly connected to the air guide frame four.

[0017] Preferably, the housing is elastically slidably connected with an insert block, and the filter screen has a slot for the insert block to enter.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, this utility model can transmit airflow into the first air guide frame through the air supply pipe set on the shell, and allow the first air guide frame to discharge airflow to the side of the shell. The air supply pipe directly transmits airflow into the second air guide frame, which can transmit airflow to the side away from the air outlet, thereby achieving cooling of the room. By cooling the room from all sides, it can reduce the uneven initial cooling of the room caused by discharging airflow into only one air outlet. Furthermore, the air supply pipe and the transmission pipe are sealed by the first and second sealing components, respectively, thereby blocking the airflow and adjusting the airflow direction.
