[0032] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The evaporative cooling pad 1 provided in this application embodiment will now be described. The evaporative cooling pad 1 includes a filter element 10 for supplying humidifying water and a detachable connection structure 4. The filter element 10 includes a rectangular substrate 11 and a first edging 13. The substrate 11 has a certain thickness. After folding its two long sides 112, two short sides 113 are formed on both sides. After folding, a first cut surface 12 is exposed at the top of the substrate 11. The first edging 13 covers the first cut surface 12 to prevent impurities from entering the substrate 11 from the first cut surface 12. The two ends of the first edging 13 extend to opposite sides of the filter element 10 in the width direction and are connected and fixed to the filter element 10. The first edging 13 and the filter element 10 can be connected by, but is not limited to, sewing, bonding, or a connector. In one embodiment, the first edging 13 completely covers the first cut surface 12, and the first edging 13 is fixed to the filter element 10 by sewing. The two ends of the first edge band 13 in the width direction extend to the opposite sides of the substrate 11 and form a skirt 130. The skirts 130 on both sides are sewn onto the filter element 10 by the first seam 101, which can be one or more turns.

[0033] By setting the first edge 13, it is possible to prevent dust, hair and other impurities mixed in the humidification water from entering the interior of the substrate 11 from the top of the wet curtain 1, thus avoiding the accumulation of impurities inside the substrate 11 and affecting the performance of the wet curtain 1, and reducing the frequency of cleaning and replacement of the wet curtain 1.

[0034] The detachable connection structure 4 is provided on the two short sides 113 of the substrate 11 after it is folded in half. The two ends of the filter element 10 are detachably connected through the detachable connection structure 4, that is, the wet curtain 1 can switch between an unfolded state and a retracted state through the detachable connection structure 4. When the filter element 10 is retracted through the detachable connection structure 4, it can form a cylinder, which can then be used to cover the frame. Compared with the installation of the cylindrical wet curtain 1, the installation difficulty of the wet curtain 1 provided in this embodiment is greatly reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the replacement operation of the wet curtain is also facilitated.

[0035] Specifically, the detachable connection structure 4 can be one or more of the following combinations: Velcro, snap fasteners, zippers, buckles, or magnetic connection structures.

[0036] The substrate 11 includes a core layer 111 and surface layers 110 disposed on both sides of the core layer 111. The core layer 111 has a porous structure, and the surface layer 110 is a stretched mesh. The core layer 111 can be made of composite fibers, and the surface layer 110 can also have a porous structure. The first edging 13 can be made of stretched mesh, which has good breathability and flexibility, and can provide effective protection for the first cutting plane 12. The first edging 13 can also be made of a breathable fabric.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the wet curtain 1 provided in this application has a first edge 13 that can effectively prevent impurities from entering the interior of the substrate 11, reducing the replacement frequency of the wet curtain 1; a detachable connection structure 4 is provided on the two short sides 113 of the filter element 10, which allows the wet curtain 1 to be unfolded and retracted. When retracted, it can form a cylinder. The detachable connection structure 4 can stably cover the wet curtain 1 on the frame, making operation convenient, greatly reducing the difficulty of installing the wet curtain 1 on the frame, and improving production efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figures 4 to 6 The detachable connection structure 4 uses Velcro. Specifically, the detachable connection structure 4 includes hook-and-loop Velcro 41 and loop Velcro 42. Hook-and-loop Velcro 41 is sewn onto the short side 113 on one side of the filter element 10, and loop Velcro 42 is sewn onto the short side 113 on the other side of the filter element 10. Hook-and-loop Velcro 41 is located on the inside of the short side 113, and loop Velcro 42 is located on the outside of the short side 113. That is, hook-and-loop Velcro 41 and loop Velcro 42 are located on the opposite sides of the two short sides 113. After they are glued together, they form a tubular wet curtain 1.

[0039] After the substrate 11 is folded in half, a second cutting plane 14 is formed on the end faces of the two short sides 113, and the second cutting plane 14 is covered with a second edge band 15. The detachable connection structure 4 and the second edge band 15 are sewn onto the corresponding short sides 113 of the filter element 10. The two ends of the second edge band 15 are sewn onto the short sides 113 by a second seam 102, which can be one or more turns.

[0040] In other words, the short sides 113 on both sides of the filter element 10 are covered by the second edging 15, so that no cut surfaces are exposed on any side of the filter element 10, and impurities in the water are less likely to enter the interior of the substrate 11. The detachable connecting structure 4 and the second edging 15 can be sewn separately onto the short sides 113. Alternatively, the detachable connecting structure 4 and the second edging 15 can be sewn together onto the filter element 10, that is, the detachable connecting structure 4 and the second edging 15 are sewn onto the filter element 10 in one go through the second seam 102, without the need for separate sewing, which can improve manufacturing efficiency.

[0041] See Figure 1One end of the second edge band 15 extends to the top of the filter element 10, so that the second edge band 15 and the first edge band 13 meet at the corner of the top of the filter element 10, that is, the second edge band 15 and the first edge band 13 have an overlapping area. After the second edge band 15 and the first edge band 13 are sewn together, there will be no exposed cut surfaces at the top and side of the filter element 10, which can prevent impurities from entering the interior of the substrate 11.

[0042] See Figures 3 to 6 Taking the detachable connection structure 4 using Velcro as an example, the specific manufacturing process of the wet curtain 1 is as follows: First, fold the rectangular base material 11 along the central axis P so that the two long sides 112 overlap, and the two shorter ends of the base material 11 are the short sides 113; sew the first binding 13 at the top of the folded base material 11 through the first seam 101; sew the second binding 15, hook Velcro 41 and loose Velcro 42 on the two short sides 113 through the second seam 102 respectively, thus forming the wet curtain in the unfolded state, and completing the manufacturing of the wet curtain.

[0043] In one embodiment, the detachable connection structure 4 is a zipper. Specifically, the detachable connection structure 4 includes a first zipper strap and a second zipper strap that work together. The first zipper strap is disposed on the short side 113 on one side of the filter element 10, and the second zipper strap is disposed on the short side 113 on the other side of the filter element 10.

[0044] In one embodiment, the detachable connection structure 4 employs a snap-fit ​​mechanism. Specifically, the detachable connection structure 4 includes a snap-fit ​​member and a snap-fit ​​seat respectively disposed on the two short sides 113 of the filter element 10. The snap-fit ​​seat has a snap-fit ​​groove corresponding to the position of the snap-fit ​​member for snap-fit ​​engagement, so that the two short sides 113 of the wet curtain 1 are detachably connected by snap-fit ​​engagement. Multiple snap-fit ​​members and snap-fit ​​seats can be provided in pairs.

[0045] In one embodiment, the detachable connection structure 4 uses a snap fastener. Specifically, the detachable connection structure 4 includes a male and female snap fastener that work together. The male snap fastener is sewn onto the short side 113 on one side of the filter element 10, and the female snap fastener is sewn onto the short side 113 on the other side of the filter element 10. Multiple male and female snap fasteners can be provided in pairs.

[0046] In one embodiment, the detachable connection structure 4 employs a magnetic assembly, with the two short sides 113 of the filter element 10 connected together using a magnetic attraction method. Specifically, the detachable connection structure 4 includes a first magnetic attractor and a second magnetic attractor. Both the first and second magnetic attractors can be magnets. A first magnet is disposed on one side of the short side 113 of the filter element 10, and a second magnet is disposed on the other side of the short side 113 of the filter element 10. The magnetic poles of the opposing surfaces of the first and second magnets are different, so that the two short sides 113 can be attracted and fixed to each other by magnetic force when they are close together. Understandably, the first and second magnetic attractors can also be a combination of magnets and stainless steel blocks, with a magnet disposed on one side of the short side 113 of the filter element 10 and a stainless steel block disposed on the other side of the short side 113 of the filter element 10. Multiple first and second magnetic attractors can be provided in pairs.

[0047] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 The humidifier provided in this embodiment includes a frame 2 and a wet curtain 1 as described in the above embodiment, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the frame 2. A water distribution tray 3 is circumferentially and evenly provided with multiple inclined water channels 31. Water flowing from the outlet at the center of the water distribution tray 3 can flow along each water channel 31 to the surrounding sides and through each drain hole to the wet curtain 1. The wet curtain 1 is both breathable and allows water to pass through; most of the scale will remain on the wet curtain 1, preventing scale from drying and becoming white powder that disperses indoors. The water distribution tray 3 is detachably installed at the top of the frame 2. The bottom surface of the water distribution tray 3 has an annular groove 30 to accommodate the top of the cylinder body; that is, after the wet curtain 1 is rolled up and wrapped around the frame 2, its top end is inserted into the annular groove 30. The frame 2 and the water distribution tray 3 can be installed together by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0048] During assembly, the unfolded wet curtain 1 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the frame 2 and then fastened together with Velcro at both ends of the wet curtain 1. In this way, the wet curtain 1 is installed on the frame 2. Then, the water distribution tray 3 is fastened to the top of the frame 2. This completes the assembly of the water distribution device, which is easy to operate.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application.
