[0037] The core of this utility model is to disclose a cooling device to improve the uniformity of equipment cooling and enhance the cooling effect.

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment discloses a cooling device, including a base 10, a device body 20, a protective shell 50, a cooling component 30, and a driving component 40.

[0040] Specifically, the equipment body 20 is mounted on the base 10 and housed within the cavity enclosed by the protective shell 50. The cooling component 30 includes a water tank 31, a first water pump 32, an inlet pipe 33, an outlet pipe 34, and a spray ring 35. The water tank 31 is mounted on the base 10. One end of the inlet pipe 33 is connected to the water tank 31, and the other end is connected to the first water pump 32. One end of the outlet pipe 34 is connected to the first water pump 32, and the other end is connected to the spray ring 35. The spray ring 35 is vertically and vertically arranged around the equipment body 20, and multiple spray heads 36 are spaced apart on the spray ring 35, as shown in the figure below. Figure 4 As shown, the sprinkler head 36 is preferably located inside the sprinkler ring 35. The drive assembly 40 is connected to the first water pump 32 to drive the first water pump 32 to rise and fall. Preferably, the first water pump 32 is located between the water tank 31 and the protective shell 50.

[0041] It should be noted that the protective shell 50 and the base 10 work together to form a closed structure, and the equipment body 20 is set within the closed structure. The equipment body 20 can be metallurgical equipment or other equipment that requires cooling. The following description uses metallurgical equipment as an example. To improve the uniformity of water spraying, the spray heads 36 are preferably evenly arranged, and the spray direction of the spray heads 36 is preferably towards the equipment body 20, so that the spray heads 36 spray cooling water onto the surface of the equipment body 20. Each spray head 36 is provided with multiple spray holes. The spray heads 36 can be fixed or adjustable, and the specific type can be determined according to actual needs.

[0042] When the equipment body 20 generates heat during operation and needs to be cooled, the first water pump 32 is turned on to draw cooling water from the water tank 31 into the inlet pipe 33. The cooling water enters the spray ring 35 through the outlet pipe 34 and is sprayed onto the equipment body 20 through the spray head 36. At the same time as spraying water, the drive component 40 is turned on, and the drive component 40 drives the first water pump 32 to rise and fall. The first water pump 32 drives the inlet pipe 33 and the outlet pipe 34 to rise and fall synchronously. The outlet pipe 34 drives the spray ring 35 to rise and fall synchronously. While the spray ring 35 rises and falls, it sprays cooling water onto the surface of the equipment body 20 to cool the equipment body 20.

[0043] The cooling device disclosed in this embodiment of the utility model has a drive component 40 that drives the first water pump 32 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the water spraying ring 35 to rise and fall synchronously. While the water spraying ring 35 rises and falls, it sprays water onto the surface of the equipment body 20. The reciprocating rise and fall of the water spraying ring 35 can make the cooling water spray more even, which can improve the cooling effect while accelerating the cooling rate. The protective shell 50 can prevent the cooling water sprayed by the water spraying head 36 from splashing everywhere, reducing the occurrence of electric shock accidents.

[0044] Furthermore, the inlet pipe 33 can be a flexible pipe, such as PVC or PE, or a rigid pipe, such as stainless steel, copper, or galvanized steel. When using a rigid pipe, the length of the inlet pipe 33 must ensure it remains immersed in the cooling water of the water tank 31 throughout the ascent. The outlet pipe 34 is also a rigid pipe, and its material can be stainless steel, copper, or galvanized steel; the specific material can be determined based on actual requirements. The first water pump 32 can be a fixed-frequency pump or a variable-frequency pump, with a variable-frequency pump being preferred.

[0045] Furthermore, the drive assembly 40 includes various configuration options. For example, it can be a drive cylinder, with the piston rod of the drive cylinder connected to the first water pump 32 to drive the first water pump 32 to rise and fall; or the drive assembly 40 can be an electric telescopic rod, connected to the first water pump 32, which drives the first water pump 32 to rise and fall by extending and shortening the electric telescopic rod; or it can be a motor and gear rack combination, with the first water pump 32 connected to the rack, the gear meshing with the rack, the motor connected to the gear, the motor driving the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rack to move, and by changing the direction of the motor, the first water pump 32 is driven to rise and fall.

[0046] Furthermore, in some specific embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the drive assembly 40 includes a first fixed base 41, a screw 42, a drive motor 43, and a water pump fixed base 44. The screw 42 extends vertically. The first fixed base 41 is mounted on the base 10, and the first water pump 32 is mounted on the water pump fixed base 44. The screw 42 is rotatably mounted within the first fixed base 41. The drive motor 43 is connected to the screw 42. The water pump fixed base 44 is threadedly engaged with the screw 42 and slidably engaged with the first fixed base 41. Specifically, the first fixed base 41 is provided with a sliding groove, and the water pump fixed base 44 slidably engages with the sliding groove.

[0047] In use, the drive motor 43 rotates, driving the screw 42 to rotate, which in turn moves the water pump mounting base 44 along the axis of the screw 42. By changing the direction of rotation of the drive motor 43, the direction of movement of the water pump mounting base 44 can be changed, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the water pump mounting base 44. This allows the first water pump 32 to rise and fall synchronously with the water pump mounting base 44, thereby driving the water spray ring 35 to rise and fall. This configuration of the drive assembly 40 is simple in structure, easy to install, and convenient to operate.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, to guide the lifting and lowering of the water pump mounting base 44, the drive assembly 40 also includes a guide rod 45. The guide rod 45 is mounted on the base 10, and the water pump mounting base 44 is slidably engaged with the guide rod 45. The axial direction of the guide rod 45 is the same as the axial direction of the screw 42 and also the same as the axial direction of the equipment body 20. The guide rod 45 provides guidance, allowing the spray ring 35 to lift and lower along the axial direction of the equipment body 20, preventing the spray ring 35 from shifting during lifting and lowering, thereby further improving the uniformity of water spraying.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to improve the aesthetics of the device, the cooling device also includes a second fixed seat 46, and a guide rod 45 is disposed in the second fixed seat 46. The second fixed seat 46 and the first fixed seat 41 are respectively disposed on both sides of the water pump fixed seat 44. The water pump fixed seat 44 and the second fixed seat 46 are slidably engaged. Preferably, the second fixed seat 46 is provided with a sliding groove that is slidably engaged with the water pump fixed seat 44.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the water pump mounting base 44 includes a T-shaped base 441 and a support plate 442 disposed on the T-shaped base 441. The first water pump 32 is mounted on the support plate 442, which can be connected by bolts, snap-fit ​​connections, or welding, preferably by a detachable connection. The T-shaped base 441 includes a main body and a first connecting part and a second connecting part disposed on both sides of the main body. The first connecting part is threadedly engaged with the screw 42, and the second connecting part is slidably engaged with the guide rod 45. Specifically, the first connecting part has a threaded hole for threaded engagement with the screw 42, and the second connecting part has a sliding hole for slidably engaging with the guide rod 45. The T-shaped base 441 has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is convenient to engage with the screw 42 and the guide rod 45.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the cooling effect of the device body 20, a cooling fan 60 is provided on the protective shell 50, and the cooling fan 60 is connected to the cavity through the exhaust pipe 61. The cooling fan 60 can extract heat from the protective shell 50. When used in conjunction with the cooling component 30, the combined effect of air cooling and water cooling can improve the cooling effect of the device body 20.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to further improve the cooling effect of the equipment body 20 and increase the cooling rate of the equipment body 20, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the protective shell 50 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 51. The heat dissipation holes 51 are preferably located on the top of the protective shell 50 and are preferably evenly arranged.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to recycle and reuse the sprayed cooling water and reduce water waste, in some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a water return assembly 70 is provided between the water tank 31 and the protective shell 50. Specifically, the water return assembly 70 includes a return pipe 71 and a second water pump 72. The return pipe 71 connects the water tank 31 and the protective shell 50, and the second water pump 72 is mounted on the return pipe 71. The second water pump 72 can be a fixed-frequency pump or a variable-frequency pump, preferably a variable-frequency pump. When the collected water reaches a certain height, it flows back to the water tank 31 through the return pipe 71. Preferably, in order to better collect the cooling water sprayed by the sprinkler head 36, a water collection tray is provided around the equipment body 20 on the base 10, and the return pipe 71 connects the water tank 31 and the water collection tray.

[0054] Furthermore, to cool the recovered cooling water, a refrigeration component 73 is installed on the return pipe 71. The refrigeration component 73 can cool the recovered cooling water in the return pipe 71, and the cooled cooling water flows back to the water tank 31 for reuse. The refrigeration component 73 is located upstream or downstream of the second water pump 72, preferably downstream of the second water pump 72. The refrigeration component 73 can be a chiller or ice water machine, and the return pipe 71 can be directly connected to the chiller or ice water machine for direct cooling through the compressor; or the refrigeration component 73 can be equipped with a spray component to cool the cooling water in the return pipe 71 by spraying water onto the return pipe 71; or the refrigeration component 73 can include a phase change material, such as paraffin wax or ice storage agent, which is placed in a flexible bag (such as a PE sealed bag) or aluminum foil bag and wrapped around the outside of the return pipe 71 to cool the cooling water in the return pipe 71. Furthermore, in order to monitor the temperature of the cooling water in the water tank 31 and ensure the cooling effect on the equipment body 20, a water temperature measuring element is installed in the water tank 31. In some other specific embodiments, the refrigeration component 73 can be installed inside the water tank 31.

[0055] Furthermore, the cooling device also includes a control component. The first water pump 32, the drive motor 43, the cooling fan 60, and the second water pump 72 are all electrically connected to the control component. When a water temperature measuring element is installed in the water tank 31, the water temperature measuring element is electrically connected to the control component.
