Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchange system technology, and in particular to a sand-resistant liquid cooling unit. Background Technology
[0002] When liquid-cooled units are used in areas with heavy sandstorms, the lack of any sand-blocking equipment at the fan inlet allows external sand to easily enter the fan during operation, thus affecting its service life.
[0003] Patent CN205638983U discloses an outdoor sand-proof fan, which uses a multi-level protective structure such as sand-blocking covers and wind-blocking covers to achieve sand and dust prevention through multi-level filtration. Its structure is relatively complex, and the use of sand-blocking covers and wind-blocking covers for filtration will affect the air intake efficiency of the fan and the cooling effect of the fan. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a sand-proof liquid-cooled unit to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a sand-proof liquid cooling unit, which uses a sand-proof plate to separate the air chamber and the refrigeration chamber, and can absorb the sand and soil in the air chamber, ensuring the sand-proof effect and service life of the fan.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a sand-proof liquid cooling unit, including a casing, a fan assembly, and a sand-proof plate. The casing has a wind chamber, and a heat exchanger is installed in the wind chamber to exchange heat with the passing airflow. The fan assembly is located at the top of the wind chamber and is adapted to generate power to allow external airflow to pass through the wind chamber. The sand-proof plate is located at the bottom of the wind chamber to catch sand inside the wind chamber and prevent sand from entering the casing. The sand-proof plate has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other, with the first side higher than the second side, so that sand falling on the sand-proof plate can flow out through the second side.
[0007] Furthermore, the horizontal angle between the sandproof plate and the chassis is 25-65 degrees.
[0008] Furthermore, the chassis is provided with a sand discharge port on the second side near the sandproof plate.
[0009] Furthermore, air inlets are provided on both sides of the chassis, and filters are provided at the air inlets.
[0010] Furthermore, the heat exchanger is configured as a condenser, and two condensers are arranged symmetrically at an included angle in the air chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, the condenser is configured as a mesh structure consisting of multiple hollow tubes spaced apart, the mesh structure being interconnected internally to allow for the circulation of refrigerant in the refrigeration components.
[0012] Furthermore, the chassis is also equipped with a cooling chamber, and the sandproof plate is disposed between the air chamber and the cooling chamber to prevent sand from the outside from falling into the cooling chamber when it flows through the air chamber.
[0013] Furthermore, the sandproof plate extends along the length of the chassis.
[0014] Furthermore, the refrigeration chamber is equipped with a refrigeration assembly, which includes a compressor, a liquid storage tank, and an evaporator. The compressor, liquid storage tank, evaporator, and heat exchanger are interconnected and form a circulating cooling channel.
[0015] Furthermore, the fan assembly includes a substrate and a plurality of fans disposed on the substrate, and through holes are disposed on the substrate facing the fans.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following technical effects:
[0017] This utility model relates to a wind turbine assembly suitable for outdoor use, featuring sand protection. It includes a casing, a wind turbine assembly, and a sandproof plate. The casing contains a wind chamber with the wind turbine assembly positioned at the top and the sandproof plate at the bottom to collect sand and prevent it from penetrating the casing, thus extending the wind turbine's lifespan. Furthermore, to enhance the sand protection effect, the sandproof plate has a first side and a second side positioned opposite each other, with the first side higher than the second. This design allows the sandproof plate to be tilted within the wind chamber, enabling sand falling onto it to flow out through the second side, ensuring effective sand protection without affecting the wind turbine's size and structure, thus offering good practicality. Additionally, a heat exchanger is separately configured within the wind chamber, isolated from the refrigeration components in the cooling chamber. This increases the contact area between the heat exchanger and the airflow, ensuring heat exchange efficiency, and also protects the refrigeration components through the sandproof plate, ensuring their cleanliness and lifespan in outdoor environments.
[0018] In addition, the second side of the chassis near the sandproof plate is equipped with a sand discharge port. Multiple sand discharge ports are set along the length of the chassis to ensure the sand discharge effect, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the chassis and ensuring the service life of the fan.

[0029] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a sand-proof liquid-cooled unit, including a casing 1, a fan assembly 2, a refrigeration assembly 6, and a sand-proof plate 3. The casing 1 has a vertically arranged air chamber 11 and a refrigeration chamber 12. A heat exchanger 65 is installed in the air chamber 11 to exchange heat with the passing airflow. The fan assembly 2 is located at the top of the air chamber 11 and is adapted to generate power to allow external airflow to pass through the air chamber 11. The sand-proof plate 3 is located at the bottom of the air chamber 11 to collect sand and prevent it from entering the casing 1. The sand-proof plate 3 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite each other, with the first side higher than the second side, so that sand falling on the sand-proof plate 3 can flow out through the second side. Figure 2As shown, the horizontal angle between the sand-proof plate 3 and the casing 1 is 25-65 degrees. Optionally, the angle can be any angle such as 35°, 45°, or 60° to ensure that sand can slide off the sand-proof plate 3 under the action of gravity. The casing 1 is provided with a sand discharge port 5 on the second side near the sand-proof plate 3 so that the sand accumulated on the sand-proof plate 3 can be discharged, thereby ensuring the normal outdoor use of the wind turbine equipment.
[0031] In this embodiment, the sandproof plate 3 is configured inside the chassis 1. While ensuring sand protection, it does not cause significant changes to the size and structure of the chassis, resulting in low operating costs. Furthermore, the sandproof plate 3 separates the air chamber 11 and the cooling chamber 12, ensuring the ventilation effect of the fan and protecting the cooling components 6 inside the cooling chamber 12 from sand, making it highly practical.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, air inlets are arranged on both sides of the chassis 1 to allow external airflow to flow into the air chamber 11, thereby exchanging heat with the heat exchanger 65 inside the air chamber 11. A filter 4 is installed at each air inlet to protect the heat exchanger 65 inside the air chamber 11 while ensuring normal airflow. Furthermore, the heat exchanger 65 is configured as a condenser, and there are two condensers arranged symmetrically at an angle within the air chamber 11. Figure 2 As shown, this configuration increases the surface area of the condenser, improves heat exchange between the condenser and the external airflow, and ensures the condenser's heat dissipation effect. Preferably, the condenser is configured as a mesh plate structure composed of multiple hollow tubes spaced apart, and the mesh plate structure is interconnected to allow the refrigerant of the refrigeration assembly 6 to circulate.
[0033] The chassis 1 is also equipped with a cooling chamber 12. The sandproof plate 3 is disposed between the air chamber 11 and the cooling chamber 12 to prevent sand from falling into the cooling chamber 12 as it flows through the air chamber 11. The cooling chamber 12 is equipped with a cooling assembly 6, which includes a compressor 61, a liquid storage tank 64, and an evaporator 62. The compressor 61, liquid storage tank 64, evaporator 62, and heat exchanger 65 are interconnected to form a cooling circulation channel. The fan assembly 2 includes a base plate 21 and multiple fans 22 disposed on the base plate 21. The base plate 21 has through holes opposite the fans 22. The multiple fans 22 generate negative pressure, thereby generating power to draw airflow from the outside into the air chamber 11, so that the air in the air chamber 11 cools and dissipates heat from the condenser, thus ensuring the cooling effect of the fan.
[0034] As can be seen from the above description of the specific embodiments, the liquid-cooled unit provided by this utility model is suitable for outdoor use and has a sand-proof function. It includes a casing 1, a fan assembly 2, and a sand-proof plate 3. The casing 1 has a wind chamber 11, and the fan assembly 2 is arranged on the top of the wind chamber 11. The sand-proof plate 3 is arranged at the bottom of the wind chamber 11 to receive the sand in the wind chamber 11 and prevent the sand from entering the interior of the casing 1, thus ensuring the service life of the fan. Furthermore, in order to improve the sand-proof effect of the fan, the sand-proof plate 3 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other, and the first side is higher than the second side. This design allows the sand-proof plate 3 to be inclined in the wind chamber 11, so that the sand falling on the sand-proof plate 3 can flow out through the second side, ensuring the sand-proof effect of the fan, without affecting the size and structure of the fan, and has good practicality. In addition, a heat exchanger 65 is separately configured inside the air chamber 11, isolated from the refrigeration component 6 in the refrigeration chamber 12. This increases the contact area between the heat exchanger 65 and the airflow, ensuring heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, the sandproof plate 3 protects the refrigeration component 6, ensuring its cleanliness and lifespan in outdoor environments. Additionally, a sand discharge port 5 is located on the second side of the chassis 1 near the sandproof plate 3. Multiple sand discharge ports 5 extend along the length of the chassis 1, ensuring effective sand removal and thus maintaining the cleanliness inside the chassis 1, extending the lifespan of the fan.
[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
