Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air cooler technology, and in particular relates to a supporting auxiliary structure for air coolers. Background Technology

[0002] An air cooler is a heat exchange device that uses air as the cooling medium. Heat is carried away by the air and the refrigerant condenses inside the pipe. The air flows outside the pipe and absorbs the heat released by the refrigerant vapor inside the pipe. Because the heat transfer coefficient of air is relatively small, fins are often installed on the outside of the pipe (air side) to enhance heat transfer outside the pipe.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned device still has the following problems during implementation:

[0004] Existing technology uses bolts to tightly connect two flanges at the connection points of the air cooler and the oil pipe. However, if the bolts are over-tightened, they may strip, break, or deform. If they are under-tightened, they may cause poor sealing and leakage. Moreover, installing multiple bolts is time-consuming. Therefore, a matching auxiliary structure for the air cooler is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a matching auxiliary structure for air coolers, which has the advantage of quick connection. It can overcome the above-mentioned problems or at least partially solve the problems that may occur if the bolts are over-tightened, resulting in bolt stripping, breakage or flange deformation; if the bolts are under-tightened, it will cause poor sealing and leakage; and the installation of multiple bolts is time-consuming.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: an auxiliary structure for an air cooler includes an air cooling device, two oil inlet connectors, a connecting pipe, and an oil inlet pipe. The top of the air cooling device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil inlet connectors. The connecting pipe is sleeved on the surface of the oil inlet connectors, and the top of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the oil inlet pipe.

[0007] A fixing component is disposed on the top of the air-cooling device.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing groove is provided on the top of the oil inlet connector, and a sealing ring is inserted into the inner cavity of the sealing groove. The surface of the sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil inlet connector. By setting the sealing groove and the sealing ring, after the oil inlet connector is connected to the connecting pipe, the sealing ring is inserted into the sealing groove, which can seal the connection and prevent liquid leakage.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the left and right sides of the oil inlet pipe are fixedly connected to extrusion blocks, the top of the extrusion blocks is movably connected to an extrusion plate, and the bottom of the extrusion plate is fixedly connected to pulleys, with four pulleys in total. By setting up the extrusion blocks, extrusion plates, and pulleys, when it is necessary to drive the oil inlet connector and the connecting pipe to fit tightly together, the movement of the extrusion plate will drive the pulleys to extrude the extrusion blocks, and the resulting extrusion force will drive the oil inlet connector and the connecting pipe to fit completely together.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, square frames are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the extrusion plate, and an L-shaped rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the square frame. The bottom of the L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the air-cooling device. By setting the square frame and the L-shaped rod, the L-shaped rod and the square frame can control the movement position of the extrusion plate when it moves, so that the extrusion plate will not detach when it moves.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the extrusion plate has a movable hole on its rear side, and an extrusion hole is formed at the bottom of the movable hole. An extrusion rod is movably connected to the inner cavity of the extrusion hole, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the extrusion rod. The bottom of the extrusion rod is rotatably connected to the air-cooling device through a bearing seat. By setting up the movable hole, the extrusion hole, the extrusion rod, and the fixing block, when it is necessary to move the extrusion plate, the rotating plug shell drives the extrusion rod to rotate. The extrusion rod extrudes the inner wall in the extrusion hole, which in turn drives the extrusion plate to move.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the fixing component includes a plug-in shell, which is sleeved on the surface of the extrusion rod. A spring is fixedly connected to the top of the plug-in shell, and a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the spring. The inner wall of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the extrusion rod. The top of the air-cooling device has a plug-in groove for use with the plug-in shell. The plug-in shell is plugged into the inner cavity of the plug-in groove. By setting the fixing component, after the plug-in shell is inserted into the plug-in shell, the spring applies pressure to the plug-in shell, so that the plug-in shell will not come off due to shaking when the air-cooling device is moved.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a control hole is provided on the front side of the extrusion rod, and a control plate is movably connected to the inner cavity of the control hole. The front and rear sides of the control plate are fixedly connected to the plug-in shell. By setting the control hole and the control plate, the control plate and the control hole can control the movement position of the plug-in shell when the extrusion spring is moved. In this way, rotating the plug-in shell can also drive the extrusion rod to rotate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This utility model utilizes a combination of a connecting pipe, an oil inlet pipe, a fixing component, a sealing groove, a sealing ring, and an extrusion block. The sealing ring is then tightly inserted into the sealing groove. Upon releasing the plug shell, the spring's elastic deformation causes the plug shell to insert into the plug groove, thus fixing the extrusion plate in place. This solves the problems of over-tightening bolts, which can lead to bolt stripping, breakage, or flange deformation, and under-tightening, which can cause poor sealing and leakage. It also addresses the time-consuming installation of multiple bolts. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides an auxiliary structure for an air cooler, including an air cooling device 1, two oil inlet connectors 2, a connecting pipe 3, and an oil inlet pipe 4. The top of the air cooling device 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil inlet connectors 2, and the connecting pipe 3 is sleeved on the surface of the oil inlet connectors 2. The top of the connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the oil inlet pipe 4.

[0024] Fixing component 5 is located on top of the air-cooling device 1.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The top of the oil inlet connector 2 is provided with a sealing groove 6, and a sealing ring 7 is inserted into the inner cavity of the sealing groove 6. The surface of the sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the oil inlet connector 2.

[0026] Using the above solution: By setting a sealing groove 6 and a sealing ring 7, after the oil inlet connector 2 is connected to the connecting pipe 3, the sealing ring 7 is inserted into the sealing groove 6 to seal the connection, so that the liquid will not leak.

[0027] refer to Figure 4 The left and right sides of the oil inlet pipe 4 are fixedly connected to the extrusion block 8, the top of the extrusion block 8 is movably connected to the extrusion plate 9, and the bottom of the extrusion plate 9 is fixedly connected to the pulley 10, and there are four pulleys 10.

[0028] Using the above scheme: By setting up the extrusion block 8, the extrusion plate 9 and the pulley 10, when it is necessary to drive the oil inlet connector 2 and the connecting pipe 3 to fit tightly together, the movement of the extrusion plate 9 will drive the pulley 10 to extrude the extrusion block 8. The extrusion force generated at this time will drive the oil inlet connector 2 and the connecting pipe 3 to fit completely together.

[0029] refer to Figure 4 A square frame 11 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the extrusion plate 9. An L-shaped rod 12 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the square frame 11. The bottom of the L-shaped rod 12 is fixedly connected to the air-cooling device 1.

[0030] The above solution is adopted: by setting up a square frame 11 and an L-shaped rod 12, the L-shaped rod 12 and the square frame 11 can control the movement position of the extrusion plate 9 when it moves, so that the extrusion plate 9 will not detach when it moves.

[0031] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 An movable hole 13 is provided on the rear side of the extrusion plate 9, and an extrusion hole 14 is provided at the bottom of the movable hole 13. An extrusion rod 15 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the extrusion hole 14. A fixing block 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the extrusion rod 15, and the bottom of the extrusion rod 15 is rotatably connected to the air-cooling device 1 through a bearing seat.

[0032] Using the above solution: by setting the movable hole 13, the extrusion hole 14, the extrusion rod 15 and the fixing block 16, when it is necessary to move the extrusion plate 9, the rotating plug shell 51 drives the extrusion rod 15 to rotate, and the extrusion rod 15 extrudes the inner wall in the extrusion hole 14, which can then drive the extrusion plate 9 to move.

[0033] refer to Figure 4The fixing component 5 includes a plug-in shell 51, which is sleeved on the surface of the extrusion rod 15. A spring 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the plug-in shell 51, and a fixing ring 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 52. The inner wall of the fixing ring 53 is fixedly connected to the extrusion rod 15. The top of the air-cooling device 1 is provided with a plug-in groove 54 that cooperates with the plug-in shell 51. The plug-in shell 51 is plugged into the inner cavity of the plug-in groove 54.

[0034] The above solution is adopted: by setting the fixing component 5, after the plug shell 51 is inserted into the plug shell 51, the spring 52 applies pressure to the plug shell 51, so that the plug shell 51 will not come off due to shaking when the air-cooling device 1 is moved.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 The front side of the extrusion rod 15 is provided with a control hole 17, and the inner cavity of the control hole 17 is movably connected to a control plate 18. The front and rear sides of the control plate 18 are fixedly connected to the plug-in shell 51.

[0036] By adopting the above scheme: by setting control hole 17 and control plate 18, when the plug shell 51 moves the compression spring 52, the control plate 18 and control hole 17 can control the moving position of the plug shell 51, so that rotating the plug shell 51 can also drive the compression rod 15 to rotate.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model:

[0038] In use, connect the connecting pipe 3 to the oil inlet connector 2. At this time, the sealing ring 7 can be inserted into the sealing groove 6. Then, hold the handle on the plug shell 51 to make the plug shell 51 rise. The rise of the plug shell 51 will cause the control plate 18 to rise in the control hole 17 and squeeze the spring 52. After the plug shell 51 is disengaged from the plug groove 54, rotate the plug shell 51 to make the extrusion rod 15 rotate. The extrusion rod 15 squeezes the inner wall in the extrusion hole 14, which will drive the extrusion plate 9 to move. The movement of the extrusion plate 9 will drive the pulley 10 to squeeze the extrusion block 8. The extrusion force generated at this time will make the oil inlet connector 2 and the connecting pipe 3 fit together completely. At this time, the sealing ring 7 can be tightly inserted into the sealing groove 6. Then, release the plug shell 51. The spring 52 will undergo elastic deformation and drive the plug shell 51 to insert into the plug groove 54. At this time, the position of the extrusion plate 9 can be fixed.

[0039] In summary, this auxiliary structure for the air cooler, through the coordinated use of the connecting pipe 3, oil inlet pipe 4, fixing component 5, sealing groove 6, sealing ring 7, and extrusion block 8, allows the sealing ring 7 to be tightly inserted into the sealing groove 6. Subsequently, the plug shell 51 is released, and the elastic deformation of the spring 52 will drive the plug shell 51 to be inserted into the plug groove 54, thus fixing the position of the extrusion plate 9. This solves the problems of over-tightening bolts, which may lead to bolt stripping, breakage, or flange deformation, and under-tightening, which may cause poor sealing and leakage, as well as the time-consuming installation of multiple bolts.
