Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of evaporator technology, specifically to an evaporator structure with a rectangular mist-catching harp. Background Technology

[0002] Evaporators are ubiquitous heat exchange devices found in both production and daily life. For example, in air conditioners and refrigerators, evaporators absorb heat from the surrounding environment to cool the air. They are also used in industrial sectors, as well as in specialized fields such as aerospace and shipbuilding, to regulate temperature. Furthermore, evaporators are essential components in air dehumidification and water extraction.

[0003] During evaporator operation, issues such as liquid film buildup and even frost formation cannot be ignored. This is because the evaporator surface temperature is low; when moisture in the air comes into contact with the evaporator surface, it will liquefy into droplets if the evaporator temperature is above 0°C, and will freeze if the evaporator temperature is below 0°C. Both liquid film buildup and frost formation significantly reduce the evaporator's heat exchange efficiency, increase energy consumption, and severely reduce its cooling effect. Therefore, solving the problem of excessive moisture adhesion on the evaporator surface is urgently needed.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, an evaporator structure with a rectangular fog-catching harp is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an evaporator structure with a rectangular fog-catching harp, which solves the problem in the prior art that both liquid film coverage and frost formation significantly reduce the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator, increase energy consumption, and severely reduce its cooling effect.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the two limit sliders can be driven to move relative to each other through the spring reset, which facilitates the installation of the metal frame.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution: two locking blocks are fixedly connected to the front ends of both mounting brackets, and the locking blocks correspond to the locking slots.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the card blocks can be easily inserted into the corresponding card slots, improving the stability of the metal frame installation.

[0029] 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.

[0030] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses an evaporator structure with a rectangular mist-catching harp, including a mounting bracket 1 for convenient installation of a coolant conduit 2. A coolant conduit 2 is connected and fixedly inserted between two mounting brackets 1. An inlet 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the coolant conduit 2. Two limiting slides 4 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of each mounting bracket 1, and two limiting sliders 5 are slidably connected to the outer sides of the limiting slides 4, allowing them to slide outside the limiting slides 4. Clamping arms 6 are fixedly connected to the front ends of each limiting slider 5, and protrusions 7 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of each clamping arm 6. The clamping arms 6 drive the protrusions 7 into grooves 20, providing a limiting function. Extrusion grooves 8 are formed on adjacent sides of each limiting slider 5. A support block 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the limiting slide 4, providing support. A rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected through and inside the support block 9. An extrusion block 11 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 10, allowing the rotating rod 10 to drive the extrusion block 11 to rotate. The mounting bracket 1 has a metal frame 15 at its front end, positioned outside the coolant conduit 2. Each of the four corners of the metal frame 15 has a slot 16, which, in conjunction with a locking block 17, ensures the stability of the metal frame 15 during installation. Two limiting components are connected to both sides of the metal frame 15, corresponding to the pressing block 11. Evenly distributed stainless steel wires 18 are fixedly connected inside the metal frame 15. The metal frame 15 and the stainless steel wires 18 together form a mist-catching harp.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The limiting component includes a connecting block 19, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the metal frame 15. The connecting block 19 has grooves 20 on both sides, which correspond to the protrusions 7. The limiting component can quickly install and fix the metal frame 15 when the two clamping arms 6 and the protrusions 7 move relative to each other, and can also be easily disassembled and replaced.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The coolant conduit 2 has an outlet 21 fixedly connected to its lower end, and both the inlet 3 and the outlet 21 penetrate the mounting bracket 1, facilitating the entry and exit of coolant. An extrusion block 11 is disposed within an extrusion groove 8, and its exterior is slidably connected to the inner wall of the extrusion groove 8, allowing it to rotate within the groove. A lever 12 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating rod 10, and is disposed outside the support block 9. The lever 12 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate. Connecting posts 13 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of both limiting sliders 5, and a tension spring 14 is fixedly connected between the two connecting posts 13. The tension spring 14's reset allows the two limiting sliders 5 to move relative to each other, facilitating the installation of the metal frame 15. Two locking blocks 17 are fixedly connected to the front ends of both mounting brackets 1, corresponding to the locking slots 16, allowing the locking blocks 17 to be inserted into the corresponding slots 16, improving the stability of the metal frame 15 installation.

[0034] Working principle: Stainless steel wires 18 are evenly spaced on a rectangular metal frame 15. The diameter of the stainless steel wires 18 is designed to be around 250μm, and the spacing is between 0.5-3mm. The spacing is selected according to the length; for example, for longer lengths, the spacing should be increased to prevent the wires from contacting each other. When the air humidity is high, or even when fog is present, as air passes through the fog-catching harp (composed of the metal frame 15 and the stainless steel wires 18), the fog-catching harp will quickly intercept a considerable portion of the water vapor. This allows a large portion of the water vapor to be captured and guided away before reaching the coolant conduit, which helps maintain heat transfer efficiency and reduce energy consumption. When the fog-catching harp needs to be disassembled or replaced, rotate the levers 12 on both sides of the mounting bracket 1. The levers 12 drive the rotating rod 10 and the pressing block 11 from a horizontal state to a vertical state. During this process, the pressing block 11 is pressed and opened by the limiting sliders 5 on both sides in the pressing groove 8. The limiting sliders 5 drive the two clamping arms 6 and the protrusions 7 to move in opposite directions. At this time, the limiting sliders 5 drive the tension spring 14 to extend through the connecting column 13. The two protrusions 7 extend from the grooves on both sides of the connecting block 19. Pull out within 20 to disassemble the fog-catching harp. During installation, align the slots 16 at the four corners of the metal frame 15 with the blocks 17 on the mounting bracket 1 and insert them. At this time, the two connecting blocks 19 on both sides of the metal frame 15 are located between the two clamping arms 6. Finally, turn back the lever 12 to move the pressing block 11 from a vertical position to a horizontal position. At this time, the elastic force of the tension spring 14 drives the two limit sliders 5 and the clamping arms 6 to move relative to each other, so that the protrusion 7 is reinserted into the groove 20, and the fog-catching harp is completely installed.
