Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler technology, specifically to a high-efficiency and energy-saving air cooler. Background Technology
[0002] An air cooler is a device that uses ambient air as a cooling medium, employing finned tubes for heat exchange to cool or condense high-temperature process fluids inside the tubes. It is widely used in petrochemical, power, and refrigeration industries. Its core purpose is to reduce the temperature of process fluids, decrease reliance on water resources, and lower operating costs. In humid or high-temperature environments, air coolers can also reduce air humidity, minimizing corrosion of subsequent filtration equipment and extending equipment lifespan. The primary purpose of air cooler filter dust removal is to protect the efficient operation of the cooling system. The filter screen physically intercepts dust, microorganisms, and other particulate matter from the air, preventing them from entering the cooler. Excessive dust accumulation on the filter screen can obstruct airflow, reduce cooling efficiency, increase energy consumption, and even cause equipment failure. Regular cleaning or replacement of the filter screen ensures smooth airflow, maintains cooling effectiveness, reduces the risk of bacterial growth, and guarantees the cleanliness of the process fluids. For example, in fermentation processes, cooled air needs further filtration and sterilization; filter dust removal is a crucial step in ensuring sterile air quality.
[0003] A search revealed that CN217844830U discloses a high-efficiency energy-saving air cooler, including an energy-saving cooler mechanism. This mechanism consists of two main parts: an air cooler and an energy-saving filter assembly. The energy-saving filter assembly is welded to the air intake surface of the air cooler. The air cooler itself comprises three parts: the air cooler and its frame, a water inlet, and a drain outlet. The energy-saving filter assembly is welded to the air cooler and its frame. The water inlet and drain outlet are located at the top two ends of the air cooler and its frame, respectively. The energy-saving filter assembly of this invention can directly scrape away dust from the filter assembly using its internal filter scraper, thereby reducing the dust density on the filter assembly. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for personnel to replace the filter assembly at a high position on the cooler, reducing the gradual decrease in intake air.
[0004] The problem with the above-mentioned high-efficiency and energy-saving air cooler is that:
[0005] 1. Insufficient dust removal efficiency: The fixed filter scraper can only scrape dust in one direction and cannot fully cover the filter surface. Dust collection relies on gravity to fall naturally, which can easily cause secondary pollution.
[0006] 2. Low level of automation: The dust removal operation requires manual pulling of a rope and lacks an integrated dust collection and treatment system. Utility Model Content
[0007] This invention proposes a high-efficiency and energy-saving air cooler, which solves the problems of insufficient dust removal efficiency and low degree of automation in existing technologies.

[0027] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency and energy-saving air cooler, including an air cooler body 1, a dust filter plate 11 disposed on the front of the air cooler body 1, a reciprocating pushing component 2 disposed on the side of the air cooler body 1, a dust removal component 3 disposed on the outside of the reciprocating pushing component 2 that can move vertically on the front of the dust filter plate 11 with the reciprocating pushing component 2, a dust scraping component 4 disposed on the outside of the dust removal component 3 that can roll and remove dust in contact with the dust filter plate 11, and the dust removal component 3 includes a horizontal pipe 31 that can suck in and discharge the scraped dust;
[0029] This patent, through mechanical structural innovation, solves the key deficiencies of the prior art in terms of dust removal efficiency and automation while maintaining the original energy-saving characteristics, and conforms to the technological trend of air coolers developing towards high efficiency and intelligence.
[0030] The reciprocating push assembly 2 includes a side seat 21, which is fixedly connected to the side of the air cooler body 1. The reciprocating push assembly 2 also includes a threaded rod 221, which is rotatably connected to the inside of the side seat 21.
[0031] Please see Figure 5 The reciprocating push assembly 2 also includes a forward and reverse motor 22, which is fixedly installed on the top of the side seat 21. The output end of the forward and reverse motor 22 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 221. The reciprocating push assembly 2 also includes a slide 23, one end of which is located inside the side seat 21 and is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 221. The other end of the slide 23 is located outside the side seat 21 and is slidably connected to the side wall of the side seat 21.
[0032] Since the slide block 23 is threaded to the outside of the threaded rod 221, and the threaded rod 221 is rotatably connected to the inside of the side seat 21, the slide block 23 can rotate with the threaded rod 221, thereby allowing the slide block 23 to slide vertically.
[0033] By starting the forward and reverse motor 22, the threaded rod 221 is driven to rotate alternately in the forward and reverse directions inside the side seat 21, thereby enabling the slide 23, which is threaded to the outside of the threaded rod 221, to drive the dust removal assembly 3 and the dust scraping assembly 4 to move vertically back and forth on the front of the dust filter plate 11, and complete the corresponding dust scraping and dust removal work.
[0034] The middle part of the slider 23 is located inside the side seat 21 and is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 221. The outer part of the slider 23 is located at the edge of the side seat 21, and the slider 23 is slidably connected to the side wall edge of the side seat 21.
[0035] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The horizontal tube 31 is fixedly connected inside the dust collector 32. The horizontal tube 31 has an inlet channel 311 that is evenly spaced through the surface of the dust filter plate 11. One end of the horizontal tube 31 has an outlet channel 312. The inlet channel 311, the interior of the horizontal tube 31, and the outlet channel 312 are connected.
[0036] The dust removal assembly 3 also includes a dust extraction fan 32, which is fixedly installed on the outside of the horizontal pipe 31;
[0037] The vacuum cleaner 32 is installed inside the horizontal pipe 31 as an active power source. The air inlet of the vacuum cleaner 32 is connected to the inlet channel 311, and the air outlet of the vacuum cleaner 32 is connected to the outlet channel 312.
[0038] Dust scraper assembly 4 includes two sets of ring seats 41. The inner side of the ring seat 41 is fixedly connected to an inner connecting rod 411 in a ring shape. The two sets of ring seats 41 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the horizontal tube 31 through the inner connecting rod 411.
[0039] The dust scraper assembly 4 also includes two sets of sliding sleeves 42, each sliding sleeve 42 being rotatably connected to the outside of each ring seat 41;
[0040] The dust scraping assembly 4 also includes a dust scraping brush 421, which is arranged in a ring between two sets of sliding sleeves 42. The dust scraping brush 421 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeves 42 on both sides, and the outer side of the dust scraping brush 421 is in contact with the front of the dust filter plate 11.
[0041] When the dust scraping assembly 4 moves vertically back and forth on the front of the dust filter plate 11 along with the slide 23, the dust scraping brush 421 in contact with the dust filter plate 11 will rotate on the outside of the ring seat 41 through the slide sleeve 42 and complete the work of scraping off the dust on the surface of the dust filter plate 11.
[0042] At the same time, the vacuum fan 32 is started and a negative pressure is formed at the inlet channel 311 in the horizontal pipe 31. The dust scraped off by the dust scraper brush 421 passes through the inlet channel 311 and the horizontal pipe 31 in sequence and is discharged outward from the outlet channel 312.
[0043] The above steps, when combined, can achieve the scraping and discharge of dust from the surface of the dust filter plate 11.
[0044] Working principle:
[0045] When dust adheres to the surface of the dust filter plate 11 and affects the performance of the air cooler body 1, the forward and reverse motor 22 can be started to drive the threaded rod 221 to rotate alternately in the forward and reverse directions inside the side seat 21, thereby enabling the slide 23, which is threaded to the outside of the threaded rod 221, to drive the dust removal assembly 3 and the dust scraping assembly 4 to move vertically back and forth on the front of the dust filter plate 11.
[0046] When the dust scraping assembly 4 moves vertically back and forth on the front of the dust filter plate 11 along with the slide 23, the dust scraping brush 421 in contact with the dust filter plate 11 will rotate on the outside of the ring seat 41 through the slide sleeve 42 and complete the work of scraping off the dust on the surface of the dust filter plate 11.
[0047] At the same time, the vacuum fan 32 is started and a negative pressure is formed at the inlet channel 311 in the horizontal pipe 31. The dust scraped off by the dust scraper brush 421 passes through the inlet channel 311 and the horizontal pipe 31 in sequence and is discharged outward from the outlet channel 312.
[0048] The vacuum cleaner fan 32, as the active power source, is installed inside the horizontal pipe 31. The air inlet of the vacuum cleaner fan 32 is connected to the inlet channel 311, and the air outlet of the vacuum cleaner fan 32 is connected to the outlet channel 312. The rotation of its blades creates a unidirectional airflow channel within the horizontal pipe 31. Figure 3 As shown, when the fan is working, the airflow is forcibly drawn in from the inlet channel 311, passes through the internal cavity of the horizontal pipe 31, and is discharged from the outlet channel 312, realizing the directional flow of "311 in → inside the horizontal pipe → 312 out".
[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
