Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to water cooling joint technical field, especially relate to a water cooling joint with self -cleaning function. BACKGROUND

[0002] Water cooling joints, as key components in cooling systems, play a crucial role in new energy vehicles. They are used to connect cooling liquid pipelines, ensuring the circulation of cooling liquid between battery packs, electric motors, and other key components that require heat dissipation. The design of these joints must guarantee sealing and reliability under long-term vibration, high and low temperature changes, and complex road conditions.

[0003] However, if the quality of the cooling liquid is not high or if it has been used for too long without replacement, it may contain impurities or undergo chemical changes over time, forming deposits or dirt. If the water cooling system's pipelines or other components are not clean, there may be rust, manufacturing residues, etc., which can accumulate at the joints along with the flow of cooling liquid, forming dirt.

[0004] Therefore, the above situation needs to be addressed. INVENTION CONTENT

[0005] The utility model aims at overcoming the above-mentioned defects, and provides a water cooling joint with self-cleaning function. The water cooling joint uses a cleaning assembly to clean the dirt attached to the inner wall and stir the cooling liquid when it passes through, effectively reducing the attachment of dirt.

[0006] Technical scheme: A water cooling joint with self-cleaning function, comprising an outer shell, a first joint, a second joint, a cleaning assembly, and an inner cavity. The first joint and the second joint are respectively screwed to the two sides of the outer shell. The inner cavity is arranged in the outer shell, and the cleaning assembly is arranged in the inner cavity. The cleaning assembly includes a rotating shaft and multiple sets of cleaning blades. The cleaning blades are arranged on the rotating shaft in a diagonal direction. By arranging a cleaning assembly in the water cooling joint, the accumulation of water scale or impurities in the inner cavity can be effectively prevented, ensuring smooth water flow and maintaining the optimal performance of the water cooling system. Reducing internal deposits and impurities helps to reduce the risk of corrosion and wear of internal components, thereby prolonging the service life of the entire water cooling system.

[0007] Further, the cleaning assembly further comprises a connecting shaft, a connecting ring and a pair of connecting blocks; the connecting shaft is connected with the shaft center of the rotating shaft, and the connecting ring is connected with the connecting shaft through the connecting blocks. The application connects the rotating shaft with the connecting ring through the connecting shaft, and reinforces the connection by using the pair of connecting blocks, so that the overall structural stability of the cleaning assembly can be significantly improved. This helps to ensure that the cleaning assembly can maintain its functional integrity even in the face of high water flow pressure or external vibration during long-term use.

[0008] Further, the included angle between the connecting blocks installed on the two sides of the connecting shaft is 130°-160°. By setting the included angle of 130°-160°, the connecting shaft, the connecting ring and the connecting blocks form a triangular structure when viewed from the side, providing a relatively stable and balanced support structure, which helps to prevent the assembly from deviating or being damaged during operation; and the effective water flow area formed by the connecting blocks with the included angle and the connecting ring is greater than the effective water flow area of the horizontal arrangement.

[0009] Further, the connecting ring is in the form of a circular ring, and the diameter is greater than the maximum diameter of the inner cavity; the connecting ring is arranged between the inner wall receiving portion of the outer shell and the first connector. Placing the connecting ring at a specific position can play a reinforcing role, reducing the risk of assembly deviation or loosening caused by external pressure or internal fluid impact, and without the need to set additional reinforcing parts, which helps to maintain the stability and integrity of the overall cleaning assembly structure.

[0010] Further, a sealing ring is arranged between the connecting ring and the first connector, and the width of the sealing ring is equal to the width of the connecting ring. The main function of the sealing ring is to prevent the leakage of the cooling liquid, and by accurately matching the width of the sealing ring and the connecting ring, the contact surface between the two can be maximized, thereby providing a more airtight sealing effect. This helps to avoid any possible leakage points and ensures the sealing performance of the system.

[0011] Further, a groove is arranged on the cleaning blade, and a brush is embedded in the groove. The application combines the advantages of scraping and brushing by using this design, which can more thoroughly clean the inside of the inner cavity.

[0012] The above technical solution can be seen that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The application relates to a water-cooled connector with a self-cleaning function, and a cleaning assembly is arranged in the water-cooled connector. By using the cleaning assembly, the accumulation of water scale or impurities in the inner cavity can be effectively prevented, so that the smoothness of the water flow is ensured, and the best performance of the water-cooled system is maintained. Reducing the internal scale and impurities helps to reduce the corrosion and wear risk of the internal components, thereby prolonging the service life of the entire water-cooled system.

[0014] 2.

The first joint 2 and the second joint 3 are respectively screwed on both sides of the outer shell 1. The inner cavity 5 is arranged in the outer shell 1, and the cleaning assembly 4 is arranged at the inner cavity 5.

[0027] Please refer to Figs. 3-5 The cleaning assembly 4 comprises a rotating shaft 401 and a plurality of cleaning wipers 402. The cleaning wipers 402 are arranged on the shaft of the rotating shaft 401 in a slanting manner.

[0028] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 4 further comprises a connecting shaft 403, a connecting ring 404, and a pair of connecting blocks 405. The connecting shaft 403 is connected to the shaft center of the rotating shaft 401, and the connecting ring 404 is connected to the connecting shaft 403 through the connecting blocks 405.

[0029] Specifically, the included angle between the connecting blocks 405 mounted on both sides of the connecting shaft 403 is 130°-160°. The specific angle can be adaptively adjusted according to the length of the water-cooled joint.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting ring 404 is in the shape of a circular ring, and its diameter is greater than the maximum diameter of the inner cavity 5. The connecting ring 404 is arranged between the inner wall receiving portion of the outer shell 1 and the first joint 2. Therefore, the cleaning assembly 4 does not need additional fastening parts for reinforcement, and only needs the fastening force of the screwing of the first joint 2 in the water-cooled joint.

[0033] Embodiment 2

[0034] This embodiment introduces a water-cooled joint with self-cleaning function, which is based on the above embodiment and is further introduced in this application. The design of the water-cooled joint introduces a cleaning assembly 4, which aims to effectively remove the dirt inside the inner cavity and ensure the efficient operation of the system.

[0035] In one embodiment, the cleaning assembly 4 includes a small drive device, mainly powered by a button cell, to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft, which in turn drives the cleaning blades 402 to clean the dirt on the inner wall.

[0036] Specifically, its working principle is as follows: a button cell is used as the power source to provide the necessary energy for the small drive device. This design choice is not only because the button cell is small and easy to install, but also has a long service life, which can ensure the stable operation of the cleaning assembly 4 for a long time.

[0037] Specifically, the small drive device receives energy from the button cell and converts it into mechanical energy to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft. The design of the drive device needs to consider the balance between efficiency and energy consumption to ensure high cleaning efficiency with as little energy consumption as possible.

[0038] Specifically, as the rotating shaft rotates, the cleaning blades 402 connected to it begin to work. These cleaning blades 402 are arranged obliquely around the rotating shaft and can effectively contact and clean the dirt on the inner wall of the inner cavity during rotation. Because the angle and shape of the blades are carefully designed, they can maximize the use of rotational force to improve cleaning efficiency.

[0039] Embodiment 3

[0040] This embodiment introduces a water-cooled connector with self-cleaning function, based on embodiment 1 for further introduction, in another embodiment, the cleaning assembly 4 does not rely on external power or drive device, but cleverly uses the water flow through the connector itself to drive the rotation of the cleaning blades 402.

[0041] Specifically, the specific principle is as follows: when the cooling liquid flows through the water-cooled connector, the kinetic energy generated by the flow is captured by the cleaning assembly 4 and converted into rotational force. This process relies on the specific angle and shape design of the cleaning blades 402, so that when the water flow hits the blades, it can generate torque to rotate the rotating shaft and the cleaning blades 402.

[0042] Specifically, the specially designed cleaning blades 402 can effectively convert part of the water flow kinetic energy into the energy required for rotational motion while minimizing resistance to water flow. This means that even at lower flow rates, sufficient cleaning strength can be achieved.

[0043] Specifically, since there is no fixed driving source, the cleaning assembly 4 can automatically adjust the cleaning strength according to the actual water flow conditions. For example, when the water flow is strong, the cleaning assembly 4 will rotate faster to enhance the cleaning effect; while when the water flow is weak, it will slow down accordingly to reduce unnecessary wear and tear.

[0044] The above merely is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, can make a number of improvements, these improvements also should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
