Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water splash prevention technology for air coolers, and in particular to a water splash prevention device for air coolers. Background Technology

[0002] An evaporative air cooler works by pumping coolant into a water curtain and spraying it out. A fan then draws outside air through the water curtain, where heat is absorbed and the air is discharged as cool air. However, in practice, because the water curtain is close to the air inlet of the evaporative air cooler, coolant sprays down and splashes water out of the air inlet. This not only damages the area outside the air inlet but also causes additional coolant loss and reduces the time required to add coolant. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in the prior art, when coolant is sprayed out and falls, it is easy to splash out from the air inlet, which damages the surrounding hygiene and increases coolant loss. Therefore, this invention proposes a splash-proof device for air coolers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Design a splash-proof device for a cooler, including a housing with several air inlets evenly distributed on the housing. A liquid blocking component is fixedly connected to the side of the housing. The liquid blocking component includes a U-shaped plate, which is fixedly connected to the housing. Several liquid blocking plates are evenly hinged to the U-shaped plate. A slide is formed inside the liquid blocking plate, with the bottom of the slide being narrower than the top. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the slide, and a guide channel is formed inside the guide plate, which is located at the bottom of the slide.

[0006] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the U-shaped plate, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate, a connecting ring is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod, an infusion tube is fixedly connected inside the connecting ring, and a plurality of reflux platforms are uniformly fixedly connected inside the infusion tube.

[0007] Preferably, the reflux platform has a mating opening on one side near the guide plate, and the guide plate fits tightly with the mating opening.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the reflux stage is an arc-shaped tube.

[0009] Preferably, the infusion tube has an opening at its bottom end.

[0010] The present invention provides a splash-proof device for an air cooler, which has the following advantages: the air entering the air inlet drives the liquid blocking plate to rotate, and the liquid blocking plate tilts up on the U-shaped plate, so that the guide plate and the mating port on the return platform are tightly fitted. The splashed coolant is blocked by the liquid blocking plate and enters the return platform along the mating port, and then returns to the water tank through the liquid delivery pipe. This can prevent the coolant in the air cooler from splashing out from the vent, which would harm the surrounding hygiene and cause additional coolant loss. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model is a splash-proof device for a evaporative air cooler, including a housing 1. Several air inlets 2 are evenly provided on the housing 1. A liquid blocking component is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 1. The liquid blocking component includes a U-shaped plate 3, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. Several liquid blocking plates 4 are evenly hinged on the U-shaped plate 3. A slide 5 is provided inside the liquid blocking plate 4. The bottom of the slide 5 is narrower than the top. A guide plate 6 is fixedly connected to the slide 5. A guide channel 7 is provided inside the guide plate 6. The guide plate 6 is located at the bottom of the slide 5.

[0021] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the housing 1 is installed on the side of the air cooler and fixed. When the air cooler is in use, the water pump sprays the water in the water tank onto the water curtain. Then the fan draws the outside air into the air cooler through the air inlet 2 on the housing 1 for heat exchange. The hot air flows through the water curtain filled with coolant, and the heat is carried away by the water curtain, thereby exhausting the cold air. The air cooler is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] When coolant is sprayed towards the water curtain, some coolant is prone to splashing. Because the water curtain is close to the air inlet 2, coolant can easily splash out from the air inlet 2, damaging the surrounding area and causing unnecessary coolant loss. When the evaporative cooler is in use, air continuously passes through the air inlet 2 on the casing 1. In the off state, the liquid-blocking plate 4 is parallel to the casing 1 and close to the casing 1, sealing the air inlet 2. At this time, as air enters, it pushes the liquid-blocking plate 4 to rotate. When the evaporative cooler is running, after each liquid-blocking plate 4 rotates... Figure 1 As shown, the liquid blocking plate 4 rotates at a fixed angle relative to the housing 1 and remains there. Air can enter the air cooler through the air inlet 2 for heat exchange. When the coolant splashes, it is blocked by the liquid blocking plate 4. Without affecting the normal air intake of the air inlet 2, the air force entering the air inlet 2 can push the liquid blocking plate 4 to rotate at a certain angle to block the splashed coolant and prevent the coolant from splashing out from the air inlet 2, causing damage to the surrounding environment and additional loss of coolant.

[0023] When coolant splashes, it falls into the slide 5 on the liquid blocking plate 4. Since the liquid blocking plate 4 maintains a certain angle relative to the housing 1 at this time, and the bottom of the slide 5 is narrower than the top, the coolant splashed on the liquid blocking plate 4 slides along the slide 5 into the guide plate 6, and then falls from the guide plate 6 back into the water tank. This can block the sprayed coolant and guide it back into the water tank, avoiding additional coolant loss.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] When the coolant falls through the deflector 6, due to the significant height difference between it and the coolant level in the tank, it may still splash out from the air inlet 2. Therefore, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference needed]. Figure 1-4 Based on the first specific embodiment, a mounting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the U-shaped plate 3, a connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 8, a connecting ring 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 9, an infusion tube 10 is fixedly connected inside the connecting ring 14, and several return platforms 11 are evenly fixedly connected inside the infusion tube 10.

[0026] The reflux platform 11 has a mating port 12 on one side near the guide plate 6. The guide plate 6 and the mating port 12 fit tightly together. The bottom of the reflux platform 11 is an arc-shaped tube 13, and the bottom end of the infusion tube 10 has an opening 15.

[0027] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the air cooler is working, each liquid blocking plate is raised at a certain angle to block the coolant and prevent it from splashing out from the air inlet 2. At this time, when the liquid blocking plate is raised, the guide plate 6 and the mating port 12 are tightly fitted together. The coolant slides into the guide plate 6 through the slide 5, and then enters the return platform 11 through the guide channel 7 and the mating port 12. All the coolant entering the return platform 11 continues to fall along the arc-shaped pipe 13 and is discharged from the opening 15. This can prevent the coolant from splashing due to the large height difference when falling, and further improve the anti-splashing ability.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
