[0019] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown:

[0022] To facilitate the disassembly of stacked plate groups and improve the efficiency of plate disassembly, this utility model provides an easy-to-disassemble plate cooler, including a fixed plate 1, a movable plate 11, fastening bolts 12, a positioning rod 13, and a plate group; the plate group is composed of multiple stacked plates 14; the plate group is located between the fixed plate 1 and the movable plate 11; the fastening ends of the fastening bolts 12 correspond to the fixed plate 1 and the movable plate 11, respectively; the positioning rod 13 is arranged along the stacking direction of the multiple plates 14; one end of the positioning rod 13 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 1, and the other end of the positioning rod 13 passes through the movable plate 11; it also includes several levers 2, levers 3, levers 4, levers 5, levers 6, levers 7, levers 8, levers 9, levers 10, levers 11, levers 11, levers 11, levers 11, levers 12, levers 13, levers 14, levers 15, levers 16, levers 17, levers 18, levers 19 ... Plate 3 and driving device 4; a number of paddles 2 correspond one-to-one with a number of plates 14; paddles 2 are vertically connected to the side of plates 14; a number of paddles 2 are arranged side by side along the stacking direction of the plates 14; adjacent paddles 2 are equally spaced; the thickness of the paddle 3 in the vertical direction is greater than the spacing between adjacent paddles 2; the thickness of the paddle 3 in the horizontal direction is less than the spacing between adjacent paddles 2; driving device 4 is connected to the paddle 3; driving device 4 is used to drive the paddle 3 to extend into the space between adjacent paddles 2 in sequence and rotate on an axis perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plates 14, so that the adjacent plates 14 are separated.

[0023] When the easily disassembled plate cooler provided by this utility model needs to be disassembled, first loosen the fastening bolts 12 and move the movable plate 11 away from the plate group along the positioning rod 13; at this time, multiple plates 14 are tightly stacked, and the control drive device 4 drives the lever 3 to extend into the outermost plate 14 and its adjacent plates 14; since the thickness of the lever 3 in the vertical direction is greater than the spacing between adjacent levers 2, when the lever 3 is vertically inserted between adjacent levers 2, the two sides in the vertical direction will push the adjacent levers 2 away when rotated, thereby driving the plate 14 to move. By creating a gap between adjacent plates 14, it is easy to remove the outermost plate 14 individually, and then the drive device 4 drives the lever 3 to extend into the next group of adjacent levers 2 and rotate again. By repeating this process, gaps can be created between all adjacent plates 14, and the separated plates 14 can be easily removed individually, improving disassembly efficiency.

[0024] The present invention provides a plate cooler that is easy to disassemble. A lever 2 is provided on the side of the plate 14. By controlling the lever 3 to extend into multiple sets of adjacent levers 2 in sequence, the adjacent levers 2 are pushed apart, realizing quick separation of the plate 14 and effectively improving the disassembly efficiency of the plate set.

[0025] In order to enable the lever 3 to extend sequentially between multiple sets of adjacent levers 2 and rotate, in a preferred embodiment, the driving device 4 includes a fixed frame 41, a lead screw mechanism 42, a first motor 43, a mounting plate 44, and a second motor 45; the lead screw mechanism 42 is mounted on the fixed frame 41; the nut portion of the lead screw mechanism 42 reciprocates along the stacking direction of the plurality of plates 14; the first motor 43 is disposed on the nut portion of the lead screw mechanism 42; the axial direction of the drive shaft of the first motor 43 is aligned with the stacking direction of the plurality of plates 14; the mounting plate 44 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the first motor 43; the second motor 45 is mounted on the mounting plate 44; the axial direction of the drive shaft of the second motor 45 is perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plurality of plates 14; the lever 3 is connected to the drive shaft of the second motor 45; the length direction of the lever 3 is aligned with the axial direction of the drive shaft of the second motor 45.

[0026] During the process of driving the lever plate 3 by the drive device 4, firstly, the nut part of the lead screw mechanism 42 moves to a set position, so that the lever plate 3 can be aligned between adjacent lever plates 2 in the stacking direction perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plates 14. Then, the first motor 43 drives the mounting plate 44 to rotate toward the lever plates 2, causing the second motor 45 and the lever plate 3 to rotate accordingly, thereby causing the lever plate 3 to vertically enter between adjacent lever plates 2. At this time, the driving axis of the second motor 45 is in the same direction as the stacking direction perpendicular to the stacking direction of the plates 14. Subsequently, the second motor 45 drives the lever plate 3 to rotate. Since the thickness of the lever plate 3 in the vertical direction is greater than the spacing between adjacent lever plates 2, when the lever plate 3 rotates from the vertical state to the horizontal state, the lever plate 3 will push the lever plates 2 on both sides. The lever plates 2 drive the plates 14, ultimately creating a gap between adjacent plates 14, thereby facilitating disassembly. After completing the above actions, the second motor 45 drives the lever 3 to rotate back to the vertical position and moves away from the lever 2 under the drive of the first motor 43. Then, under the drive of the nut part of the lead screw mechanism 42, it moves to the position of the next set of adjacent levers 2. Then, the above steps are repeated to separate the adjacent levers 2.

[0027] The present invention provides a plate cooler that is easy to disassemble. By setting a driving device 4, the pawl 3 can be driven to extend into multiple sets of adjacent pawls 2 in sequence, and the pawl 3 can be driven to rotate to push the adjacent pawls 2 apart, thereby achieving the effect of separating the adjacent pawls 2.

[0028] When the lever 3 rotates and pushes the paddles 2 on both sides, in order to reduce the contact resistance between the lever 3 and the paddles 2 and make the pushing action easier to complete, in a preferred embodiment, the paddles 2 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 21 on both sides in the stacking direction of the plurality of plates 14; the arc-shaped grooves 21 are opened along the length direction of the lever 3; the arc direction within the arc-shaped grooves 21 is in the same direction as the rotation direction of the lever 3. When the lever 3 pushes the paddles 2 on both sides, the edge of the lever 3 contacts the inner side of the arc-shaped groove 21. Compared with the vertical side of the paddles 2, the arc-shaped groove 21 can better adapt to the movement trajectory of the lever 3 and reduce the resistance encountered by the lever 3 in pushing the paddles 2. Since opening the arc-shaped grooves 21 will increase the maximum distance between adjacent paddles 2, the thickness dimension of the lever 3 in the vertical direction should be greater than the distance between the deepest points of the opposing arc-shaped grooves 21 on the left and right sides, so that the lever 3 can still push the paddles 2 on both sides apart when contacting the arc-shaped grooves 21.

[0029] The plate cooler provided by this utility model is easy to disassemble. By setting the arc groove 21, the resistance encountered by the push plate 3 to push the push piece 2 can be reduced, making the separation action of adjacent push pieces 2 smoother.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the lever 3 has rounded corners on both sides in the vertical direction. Since the lever 3's two sides in the vertical direction serve as the force-bearing parts for pushing the two levers 2 respectively, rounded corners reduce resistance when in contact with the levers 2, making the action of pushing the levers 2 smoother.

[0031] To reduce the resistance encountered when the plate 14 moves, in a preferred embodiment, a mounting groove is formed at the bottom of the plate 14 along its thickness direction; a rotatable roller 15 is disposed within the mounting groove; the two ends of the roller 15 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the mounting groove; the roller 15 can rotate along the length of the positioning rod 13; the positioning rod 13 supports the plate 14 via the roller 15; the plate 14 can move along the positioning rod 13 via the roller 15. When the lever 2 moves the corresponding plate 14, the plate 14 can slide along the positioning rod 13 via the bottom roller 15. By changing the contact form between the plate 14 and the positioning rod 13 from sliding friction to rolling friction, the thrust required to move the plate 14 can be effectively reduced, the force on the lever 2 and the driving force required by the driving device 4 can be reduced, and the durability and operating cost of the equipment can be optimized.

[0032] The present invention provides a plate cooler that is easy to disassemble. By setting the roller body 15, the contact form between the plate 14 and the positioning rod 13 can be changed to rolling friction, which effectively reduces the thrust required to move the plate 14 and optimizes the durability and operating cost of the equipment.
