Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of oil-water cooler technology, specifically to an oil-water cooler with automatic water replenishment. Background Technology

[0002] An oil-water cooler is a device placed in a cooling water circuit that uses the temperature of the cooling water to control the temperature of the lubricating oil. This device allows heat exchange between two liquid media with a certain temperature difference, thereby reducing the oil temperature and ensuring the normal operation of electrical equipment. When the lubricating oil temperature is high, it is cooled by the cooling water; when the engine starts, it absorbs heat from the cooling water to rapidly raise the temperature of the lubricating oil.

[0003] Existing oil-water coolers are generally placed horizontally for use. Over time, they lose a certain amount of water, causing the water level in the storage chamber to drop. If water is not replenished promptly after prolonged operation, the cooling efficiency of the oil-water cooler will decrease, and it may even damage the cooler. Currently, water replenishment for oil-water coolers is primarily done manually, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. It relies on experience to judge the timing and amount of water to add, making accurate replenishment difficult and inconvenient. Furthermore, the cooling water input into the oil-water cooler sometimes contains impurities. If these are not filtered before being injected, they will also affect the cooling effect and lifespan of the cooler. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improvement measure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] 1. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model:

[0006] This utility model provides an oil-water cooler with automatic water replenishment to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution:

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an oil-water cooler with automatic water replenishment, comprising an oil-water cooler body, a base corresponding to the bottom of the oil-water cooler body, water storage chambers corresponding to the interior of both sides of the oil-water cooler body, an inlet and an outlet corresponding to the front of the water storage chambers on both sides of the oil-water cooler body, and a removable and replaceable filter assembly correspondingly and sealed at the outlet; a vertical strip-shaped protrusion corresponding to the right side of the oil-water cooler body, and a vertical water level indicator corresponding to the protrusion. The water level chamber has a bottom that is connected to the water storage chamber on the right side of the oil-water cooler body, and a liquid level sensor is installed on the top of the water level chamber. A water supply tank is installed on the left side of the oil-water cooler body, and a water pump is installed on the top of the water supply tank. The inlet of the water pump is connected to the water supply tank, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to the top of the water storage chamber on the left side of the oil-water cooler body through a water supply pipe. A PLC controller for controlling the water pump is also provided on the rear side of the oil-water cooler body, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0009] Furthermore, the filter assembly includes a filter screen frame and a filter box. The filter box has a water inlet hole for connecting the water inlet and the water storage chamber. The center of the water inlet hole in the filter box has a rectangular groove with a top opening. The filter screen frame has a filter screen in the center. Rubber sealing gaskets are installed on the front and rear sides of the filter screen frame. A pull-out head is provided on the top of the filter screen frame. The filter screen frame is slidably inserted into the rectangular groove. The top two sides of the filter box have clamping mechanisms for clamping the filter screen frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a threaded rod, and fixed blocks are correspondingly provided on both sides of the top of the filter box. A threaded rod is fixedly fixed on the top of the fixed blocks. An L-shaped pressure block is slidably sleeved on the threaded rod. A compression spring is correspondingly installed between the L-shaped pressure block and the fixed blocks. The compression spring is correspondingly sleeved on the threaded rod. A wing nut is also correspondingly threaded on the threaded rod. The wing nut is correspondingly pressed against the top of the L-shaped pressure block. Tightening the wing nut will press the other end of the L-shaped pressure block against the top of the filter frame. Loosening the wing nut and prying open the L-shaped pressure block will allow the filter frame to be disassembled and assembled.

[0011] Furthermore, an oil storage chamber is provided in the middle of the body of the oil-water cooler. An oil inlet and an oil outlet are respectively provided on the top two sides of the oil storage chamber. Multiple heat exchange tubes are evenly arranged in the oil storage chamber, and the two ends of the heat exchange tubes are connected to the water storage chambers on both sides of the body of the oil-water cooler.

[0012] Furthermore, the probe of the liquid level sensor is installed in the water level cavity, and a ring float is fitted on the probe. When the liquid level sensor detects a drop in the liquid level in the water level cavity, it transmits the signal to the PLC controller, which then controls the water pump to start and replenish water to the water storage cavity of the oil-water cooler body.

[0013] Furthermore, a solenoid valve is installed on the water supply pipe. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to the PLC controller. When no water is being supplied, the PLC controller controls the solenoid valve to close. When water is being supplied, the PLC controller controls the solenoid valve to open.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] This utility model features a reasonable design. For a horizontally placed oil-water cooler, a water level chamber and a liquid level sensor are installed on one side, while a water replenishment tank, water pump, and water replenishment pipe are installed on the other side. This allows for timely and effective automatic water replenishment when the water level in the cooler's storage chamber drops, eliminating the need for manual replenishment. Its operation is accurate and convenient. Furthermore, the inclusion of filter components such as a threaded rod, compression spring, L-shaped pressure block, filter screen frame, and wing nut effectively filters the cooling water entering the cooler, preventing impurities from affecting the cooler's cooling effect and lifespan. The filter screen frame is also easy to install and remove for cleaning and replacement. The overall design is ingenious, convenient to use, and highly practical.
