Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchange equipment technology, and in particular to a connection structure for heat dissipation tubes of an air cooler. Background Technology

[0002] Some existing air coolers on the market have complex overall structures, making modular replacement and maintenance difficult. The heat dissipation tubes are concentrated on tube sheets on both sides. When equipment malfunctions and requires repair, the entire tube sheet and heat dissipation tubes often need to be disassembled. However, the large number of heat dissipation tubes and the cumbersome operation increase repair time. When local components malfunction, such as leaking or damaged heat dissipation tubes, replacing the faulty parts is also difficult, increasing both cost and repair complexity. Furthermore, when the tube sheet and other structures are scrapped due to malfunction, numerous replacement parts are required, leading to contamination and waste, shortening the equipment's lifespan, and increasing overall cost. Therefore, improvements to existing technology are still necessary. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a connection structure for the heat dissipation pipes of an air cooler that offers excellent heat dissipation performance.

[0004] This utility model provides the following solution to the problems mentioned above:

[0005] A connection structure for heat dissipation tubes of an air cooler includes a distributor and cooling modules. Multiple cooling modules are stacked within the connection structure. Each cooling module has layered plates at both ends, with several heat dissipation tubes positioned between the layered plates. Cooling module support plates are located at both ends of the cooling module, and each support plate has multiple grooves on its side that mate with the layered plates. The bottom of each groove also has a square hole. The distributor is located at both ends of the cooling module support plate, and a converging module is fitted over the distributor at each end. The multi-layered cooling modules facilitate disassembly and replacement. Each cooling module can be inserted into a groove inside the cooling module support plate. The outer surface of the layered plates on the cooling module can be sealed against the bottom surface of the groove, forming a sealed structure. The holes do not obstruct the normal entry of the medium into the heat dissipation tubes. The connection between the distributor and the cooling module support plate is sealed.

[0006] Preferably, the convergence module includes a fixed frame and a pressure-applying frame, which are respectively installed on the end faces of the distributors at both ends. Connecting rods are also connected between the four corners of the fixed frame and the pressure-applying frame. Each connecting rod is equipped with a lead screw at its connection point with the pressure-applying frame. The lead screw passes through the pressure-applying frame and is fitted with a nut sleeve that engages with the thread of the lead screw. The fixed frame and the pressure-applying frame are U-shaped frame structures. The connecting rod is integrally connected to the fixed frame. The length of the connecting rod is slightly shorter than the distance between the distributors at both ends. By rotating the nut sleeve on the lead screw, lateral pressure is generated, causing the nut sleeve to press against the pressure-applying frame. The distance between the connecting rod and the pressure-applying frame ensures that the pressure-applying frame is compressed tighter and tighter, making the overall sealing structure more stable.

[0007] Preferably, the heat dissipation pipes are arranged between the layers in a staggered manner, one above the other; the structure formed by the staggered arrangement of the heat dissipation pipes can generate turbulence when the air passes between the heat dissipation pipes, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The utility model has an ingenious structure, with multiple separate cooling modules forming a modular quick-change structure, which facilitates replacement and maintenance, reduces costs, and increases the overall service life of the equipment; components can be quickly replaced and reused after maintenance, minimizing waste and pollution; when equipment malfunctions, such as leaking or damaged heat dissipation pipes, the faulty module can be directly replaced, allowing maintenance without affecting production and greatly improving production efficiency; the staggered arrangement of the heat dissipation pipes creates turbulence when air passes between them, enhancing heat dissipation efficiency.

[0018] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed herein, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0019] Unless otherwise stated, any feature in this specification may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0020] like Figure 1-6 The diagram illustrates a connection structure for heat dissipation pipes in an air cooler, comprising a distributor 1 and cooling modules 12. Multiple cooling modules 12 are stacked within a cooling module support plate 4 of the connection structure. Each cooling module 12 has a layered plate 2 at both ends, with several heat dissipation pipes 3 positioned between the layered plates 2. The cooling module support plate 4 has multiple grooves 6 on its side, which mate with the layered plates 2. The bottom of each groove 6 also has a square... Hole 5, the liquid distributor 1 is located at both ends of the cooling module support plate 4, and the liquid distributor 1 at both ends is also fitted with a gathering module 13; the multi-layer cooling module 12 is easy to disassemble and replace, the cooling module 12 can be inserted into the groove 6 inside the cooling module support plate 4, the outer side of the layer plate 2 on the cooling module 12 can be sealed to the bottom surface of the groove 6 to form a sealed structure, the hole 5 can not affect the normal entry of the medium into the heat dissipation pipe 3, and the connection between the liquid distributor 1 and the cooling module support plate 4 is sealed.

[0021] The convergence module 13 includes a fixed frame 7 and a pressure-applying frame 8, which are respectively covered on the end faces of the liquid dispensers 1 at both ends. Connecting rods 9 are also connected between the four corners of the fixed frame 7 and the pressure-applying frame 8. Each connecting rod 9 is provided with a lead screw 10 at its connection with the pressure-applying frame 8. The lead screw 10 passes through the pressure-applying frame 8 and is fitted with a nut sleeve 11 that can engage with the thread of the lead screw 10. The fixed frame 7 and the pressure-applying frame 8 are U-shaped frame structures. The connecting rod 9 is integrally connected to the fixed frame 7. The length of the connecting rod 9 is slightly shorter than the distance between the liquid dispensers 1 at both ends. By rotating the nut sleeve 11 on the lead screw 10, lateral pressure can be generated to press the nut sleeve 11 onto the pressure-applying frame 8. The distance between the connecting rod 9 and the pressure-applying frame 8 can ensure that the pressure-applying frame 8 is pressed tighter and tighter, making the overall sealing structure more stable.

[0022] The heat dissipation pipes 3 are arranged in a staggered manner between the layered plates 2. The structure formed by the staggered arrangement of the heat dissipation pipes 3 can generate turbulence when the air passes between the heat dissipation pipes 3, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0023] The following is the method of using this utility model: High-temperature medium is fed into the device from the distributor 1 at one end, and evenly enters the multiple cooling modules 12. After cooling, it exchanges heat with the external medium through the heat dissipation pipe 3, and then is discharged from the distributor 1 at the other end. When there is a problem inside the device, such as leakage or damage to the heat dissipation pipe, the internal parts can be replaced by disassembling the collection module 13. This allows for independent maintenance time, and the problem can be solved quickly without affecting normal production. The heat dissipation pipes 3 are arranged in a staggered manner, one above the other. The heat dissipation pipes 3 are sealed to the layered plate 2. The connection between the layered plate 2 and the bottom of the groove 6 is sealed. The length of the connecting rod 9 on the collection module 13 is slightly shorter than the distance between the distributors 1.

[0024] This utility model features an ingenious structure with multiple separate cooling modules forming a modular, quick-change structure. This facilitates replacement and maintenance, reduces costs, and extends the overall lifespan of the equipment. Components can be quickly replaced and reused after repair, minimizing waste and pollution. When equipment malfunctions, such as leaking or damaged heat dissipation pipes, the faulty module can be directly replaced, allowing for repairs without disrupting production and significantly improving efficiency. The staggered arrangement of the heat dissipation pipes creates turbulence as airflow passes between them, enhancing heat dissipation efficiency.

[0025] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. This invention extends to any new feature or combination disclosed in this specification, as well as any new method or process step or combination disclosed herein.
