Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air coolers, specifically a multi-unit cold storage air cooler. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial evaporative air coolers are environmentally friendly products that require no compressors, no refrigerants, and produce no pollution. They utilize the evaporative cooling principle of fresh outdoor air to lower the temperature and create convection airflow between the air and the indoor environment, thus achieving indoor ventilation and cooling. Compared to traditional compressor air conditioning systems, the cost is less than half, and the equipment does not occupy any building space. The system is simple, easy to install and maintain quickly, and requires no professional maintenance personnel. It embodies energy saving, user-friendliness, aesthetics, and environmental protection, providing a perfect solution for ventilation and cooling in environments such as electronics, textiles, shoemaking, plastics, machinery workshops, cigarette factories, modern homes, offices, supermarkets, hospitals, entertainment venues, and waiting rooms.
[0003] Modern evaporative air coolers work by using a fan to draw outside air onto a wet curtain. The water trapped on the curtain absorbs heat from the air, thus cooling it down. This cooled air is then circulated into the room to further cool it down. However, to adjust the temperature of a modern evaporative air cooler, the thickness or number of wet curtains needs to be changed. Increasing the thickness or number of wet curtains makes it difficult to adjust them again, and changing the thickness or number of wet curtains requires turning off the evaporative air cooler, rendering it unusable and affecting its overall performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technology and solve the problem that adjusting the temperature requires changing the thickness or number of evaporative cooling pads, but changing the thickness or number of evaporative cooling pads again after increasing them is quite troublesome, and changing the thickness or number of evaporative cooling pads also requires shutting down the air cooler, making the air cooler unusable and affecting its operation, this utility model proposes a multi-unit cold storage air cooler.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive the first reciprocating screw to rotate forward, thereby transmitting power to the second reciprocating screw through a one-way bearing. This drives one of the transmission blocks to move, which in turn causes the folded wet curtain to unfold, filling the interior of the work chamber. This allows the air drawn in by the intake fan to come into contact with the folded wet curtain, absorbing heat from the air through the water flow on the folded wet curtain, thus lowering the air temperature. When further cooling is needed, the first reciprocating screw can be reversed, causing the second folded wet curtain to unfold, further cooling the air. This allows for controllable changes in air temperature, and the number of wet curtains through which air passes can be changed without stopping the evaporative cooler, allowing the cooler to operate continuously and thus maintaining the working temperature.
[0014] 2. This utility model uses a water pump to transfer water from inside the working box to the transmission pipe, which in turn transfers the water to the distribution pipe, then to the distribution plate, and finally to the connecting pipe. The water is then transferred to the fixed and folding wet curtains through the nozzles, thereby wetting the fixed and folding wet curtains and cooling the incoming air. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a multi-unit cold storage air cooler includes a working box 1, an installation box 2 fixedly connected to the top of the working box 1, an air intake fan 3 fixedly connected inside the working box 1, and a curtain assembly inside the installation box 2. The curtain assembly includes a motor 4 fixedly connected inside the installation box 2, and a reciprocating screw 5 fixedly connected to the transmission end of the motor 4. There are four reciprocating screws 5, which are divided into two groups. One-way bearings 6 are rotatably connected inside both groups of reciprocating screws 5. The ends of three of the one-way bearings 6 are rotatably connected to the inside of the installation box 2. Limiting blocks 9 are rotatably connected to the outside of the reciprocating screws 5. The limiting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to the inside of the installation box 2. A transmission block 7 is threadedly connected to the outside of the reciprocating screws 5. A folding wet curtain 8 is fixedly connected between the transmission block 7 and the limiting block 9.
[0026] During operation, when cooling is required, the motor 4 drives the first reciprocating screw 5 to rotate forward, thereby transmitting power to the second reciprocating screw 5 through the one-way bearing 6. This drives one of the transmission blocks 7 to move, which in turn causes the folding wet curtain 8 to unfold, filling the interior of the work box 1. This allows the air drawn in by the air intake fan 3 to come into contact with the folding wet curtain 8, absorbing the heat from the air through the water flow on the folding wet curtain 8, thus lowering the air temperature. When further cooling is needed, the first reciprocating screw 5 can be reversed, causing the second folding wet curtain 8 to unfold, further cooling the air. This allows for controllable changes in air temperature, and the number of wet curtains through which air passes can be changed without stopping the air cooler, allowing the air cooler to operate continuously and maintaining the temperature of the workplace.
[0027] The reciprocating screw 5 is provided with a transmission assembly on its outer side. The transmission assembly includes two gears 10 that are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two reciprocating screws 5 respectively, and a toothed chain 11 is meshed with the outer sides of the two gears 10.
[0028] During operation, the motor 4 drives one of the reciprocating screws 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 10 to rotate, thereby driving the gear chain 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 10 to rotate, thus transmitting power to the other reciprocating screw 5.
[0029] The working box 1 is equipped with basic working components, including a fixed rod 12 fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting box 2, two fixed blocks 13 fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed rod 12, and a fixed wet curtain 14 fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed blocks 13. The fixed blocks 13 penetrate the working box 1.
[0030] During operation, the position of the fixing block 13 is restricted by the fixing rod 12, thereby restricting the position of the fixing wet curtain 14.
[0031] The work box 1 is provided with an exhaust assembly on its outer side. The exhaust assembly includes a reduction pipe 22 fixedly connected to the outer side of the work box 1. An exhaust fan 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the reduction pipe 22. The exhaust fan 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the work box 1.
[0032] During operation, the cooled air can be transferred to the inside of the reducing pipe 22 by the exhaust fan 21, and the air flow can be accelerated by the reducing pipe 22.
[0033] Among them, the transmission block 7 passes through the mounting box 2 and is slidably connected, and the transmission block 7 passes through the working box 1 and is slidably connected.
[0034] During operation, the folded wet curtain 8 can be unfolded by moving the transmission block 7.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Please see Figure 6 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, the installation box 2 is provided with a water spraying assembly. The water spraying assembly includes a water pump 15 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the working box 1. The output end of the water pump 15 is fixedly connected to a transmission pipe 16. The transmission pipe 16 passes through the installation box 2 and is fixedly connected. The end of the transmission pipe 16 is fixedly connected to a diversion pipe 17.
[0037] The water spray assembly also includes a diverter plate 18 fixedly connected to the end of the diverter pipe 17. The diverter plate 18 is fixedly connected inside the mounting box 2. A connecting pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the diverter plate 18. A nozzle 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 19. The connecting pipe 19 passes through the mounting box 2 and is fixedly connected.
[0038] During operation, water is pumped from inside the working chamber 1 to the transmission pipe 16 via the water pump 15, which then transfers the water to the distribution pipe 17, which in turn transfers the water to the distribution plate 18, and finally to the connecting pipe 19. The water is then transferred to the fixed wet curtain 14 and the folding wet curtain 8 via the nozzle 20, which wets the fixed wet curtain 14 and the folding wet curtain 8, thereby cooling the incoming air.
[0039] The working principle is as follows: When cooling is required, the motor 4 drives the first reciprocating screw 5 to rotate forward, thereby transmitting power to the second reciprocating screw 5 through the one-way bearing 6. This drives one of the transmission blocks 7 to move, which in turn causes the folding wet curtain 8 to unfold, filling the interior of the working box 1. This allows the air drawn in by the air intake fan 3 to come into contact with the folding wet curtain 8, absorbing the heat inside the air through the water flow on the folding wet curtain 8, thus lowering the air temperature. When further cooling is needed, the first reciprocating screw 5 can be reversed, causing the second folding wet curtain 8 to unfold, further cooling the air. This allows for controllable changes in air temperature, and the number of wet curtains through which air passes can be changed without stopping the air cooler, allowing the air cooler to operate continuously and maintaining the temperature of the workplace.
