Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler technology, and in particular to a novel household air cooler. Background Technology
[0002] Household evaporative air coolers, also known as water-cooled air conditioners, are machines composed of special corrugated paper honeycomb-shaped wet curtains with a large surface area, high-efficiency energy-saving fans, water circulation systems, float valve water replenishment devices, casings, and electrical components. They have a cooling effect, but existing household evaporative air coolers still require the use of water pumps and other equipment to extract water. At the same time, the chilled water is easily carried into the air by the wind, resulting in high humidity in the equipment.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a search revealed a Chinese patent application with patent number CN202010905293.3, which discloses a cooling device for a household air cooler. This air cooler uses a semiconductor cooler and a fan to output cool air into the room. However, the semiconductor cooler consumes a significant amount of electricity during operation, resulting in high power consumption and consequently, high operating costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a new type of household air cooler.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A new type of household air cooler includes an air guide sleeve. Multiple equally spaced support plates are fixed to the bottom outer wall of the air guide sleeve. A base is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the support plates. A fan, a lower isolation net frame, and an upper isolation net frame are fixed to the inner wall of the air guide sleeve from bottom to top. Multiple partition nets are fixed to the inner walls of the upper and lower isolation net frames respectively. Multiple ice ball shells are placed on the top of the lower isolation net frame. A first through groove and a second through groove are opened on the outer wall of the air guide sleeve.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the upper isolation mesh frame is located on one side of the inner wall at the top of the first through groove, and the lower isolation mesh frame is located on one side of the inner wall at the bottom of the second through groove.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the outer walls of one side of the first through groove and the second through groove are respectively connected by hinges to the first sealing chamber door and the second sealing chamber door.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: sealing blocks are fixed to the inner walls of one side of the first and second sealed compartment doors, and the sealing blocks are respectively inserted into the inner walls of the first and second through grooves.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an electric air guide plate is provided on the inner wall of the top opening of the air guide sleeve, and a control panel is provided on the outer wall of the air guide sleeve. The electric air guide plate and the fan are electrically connected to the control panel respectively.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: a dustproof net is sleeved on the outer wall of the support plate, and connecting pieces are fixed at both ends of the dustproof net.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the air guide sleeve and the outer wall of the base are respectively provided with fixing grooves, and the two sides of the connecting piece are respectively fixed to the inner wall of the fixing groove by screws.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a battery block is provided on the outer wall of the air guide sleeve.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This air cooler can be used in home kitchens and other places where no air conditioner is installed and only short-term cooling is required. It has a simple and compact structure, low cost, and obvious cooling effect. Utilizing the latent heat of phase change, only 4 liters of ice crystals can cool nearly 160 cubic meters of air at 40°C to 24°C.
[0016] 2. The evaporative cooler does not require a water pump to draw water. The hot air can directly contact the frozen ice ball shell containing ice. The temperature of the cold air can be as low as below 0 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the shape of the ice ball shell may be spherical or other shapes. Therefore, the hot air will not bring ice water into the air. This not only does not increase the air humidity, but also helps to reduce the air humidity. In addition, after the ice inside the ice ball shell melts, it can be regenerated by freezing in a refrigerator and reused. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] The embodiments of this patent are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and should not be construed as limiting this patent.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] New types of household air coolers, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes an air guide sleeve 1. Multiple equally spaced support plates 14 are fixed to the bottom outer wall of the air guide sleeve 1. A base 2 is fixed to the bottom outer wall of the support plates 14. A fan 13, a lower isolation net frame 12 and an upper isolation net frame 11 are fixed to the inner wall of the air guide sleeve 1 from bottom to top. Multiple partition nets 17 are fixed to the inner walls of the upper isolation net frame 11 and the lower isolation net frame 12 respectively. Multiple ice ball shells 15 are placed on the top of the lower isolation net frame 12. A first through groove 9 and a second through groove 10 are opened on the outer wall of the air guide sleeve 1.
[0027] The upper isolation mesh frame 11 is located on one side of the top inner wall of the first through groove 9, and the lower isolation mesh frame 12 is located on one side of the bottom inner wall of the second through groove 10.
[0028] The first through groove 9 and the second through groove 10 are respectively connected to the first sealing compartment door 7 and the second sealing compartment door 8 via hinges on one side of their outer walls.
[0029] Sealing blocks are fixed to the inner walls of one side of the first sealed door 7 and the second sealed door 8, respectively, and the sealing blocks are inserted into the inner walls of the first through groove 9 and the second through groove 10.
[0030] An upper isolation net frame 11 and a lower isolation net frame 12 are provided on the inner wall of the air guide sleeve 1 to prevent the ice ball shell 15 from flying out and falling. The refrigerant is sealed inside the ice ball shell 15. After freezing into ice, according to the planned usage time of the equipment, the first sealed door 7 is opened, and multiple ice ball shells 15 are placed on the top of the lower isolation net frame 12 through the first through groove 9.
[0031] Then, the fan 13 is started to rotate, drawing indoor hot air into the air guide sleeve 1 through the gap between multiple support plates 14 at the bottom of the air guide sleeve 1. When the hot air passes through the ice puck shell 15, it will exchange heat with the ice puck inside the ice puck shell 15 and cool down rapidly. Finally, the cold air is sent out from the air outlet at the top of the air guide sleeve 1.
[0032] After use or after the ice ball inside the ice ball shell 15 has melted, open the second sealed compartment door 8 and pull the support frame 17 out laterally from the side of the limiting piece 15 through the second through slot 10. After removing the support frame 17, multiple ice ball shells 15 can be placed directly in the refrigerator for freezing, for future use.
[0033] This air cooler can be used in home kitchens and other places where no air conditioner is installed and only short-term cooling is needed. It has a simple and compact structure, low cost, and obvious cooling effect. Utilizing the latent heat of phase change, only 4 liters of ice crystals can cool nearly 160 cubic meters of air at 40°C to 24°C.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an electric air guide plate 6 is provided on the inner wall of the top opening of the air guide sleeve 1, and a control panel 5 is provided on the outer wall of the air guide sleeve 1. The electric air guide plate 6 and the fan 13 are electrically connected to the control panel 5. In this embodiment, the electric air guide plate 6 is a common air conditioner air guide plate, which can be rotated by a stepper motor to adjust the air outlet angle of the air cooler. At the same time, a sweeping mode can be set to achieve air delivery over a larger area. The electric air guide plate 6 used in this embodiment is consistent with the structure of an air conditioner air guide plate and an air guide plate in an air conditioner disclosed in patent application number CN2018216233594. Since the structure of the air conditioner air guide plate is a common structure in existing air conditioners and other equipment, the specific working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0035] The air cooler disclosed in this embodiment does not require a water pump to draw water. The hot air can directly contact the ice ball shell 15, which is filled with ice after freezing. The temperature of the cold air can be as low as below 0 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the shape of the ice ball shell 15 may be spherical or other shapes. Therefore, when the hot air passes by, it will not bring ice water into the air with the wind. This not only does not increase the air humidity, but also helps to reduce the air humidity. In addition, after the ice inside the ice ball shell 15 melts, it can be regenerated by freezing in a refrigerator and reused.
[0036] Working principle: An upper isolation net frame 11 and a lower isolation net frame 12 are provided on the inner wall of the air guide sleeve 1 to prevent the ice ball shell 15 from flying out and falling. The refrigerant is sealed inside the ice ball shell 15. After freezing into ice, according to the planned usage time of the equipment, the first sealed door 7 is opened, and multiple ice ball shells 15 are placed on the top of the lower isolation net frame 12 through the first through groove 9.
[0037] Then, the fan 13 is started to rotate, drawing indoor hot air into the air guide sleeve 1 through the gap between multiple support plates 14 at the bottom of the air guide sleeve 1. When the hot air passes through the ice puck shell 15, it will exchange heat with the ice puck inside the ice puck shell 15 and cool down rapidly. Finally, the cold air is sent out from the air outlet at the top of the air guide sleeve 1.
[0038] After use or after the ice ball inside the ice ball shell 15 has melted, open the second sealed compartment door 8 and pull the support frame 17 out laterally from the side of the limiting piece 15 through the second through slot 10. After removing the support frame 17, multiple ice ball shells 15 can be placed directly in the refrigerator for freezing, for future use.

The user can periodically unscrew the screws fixing the connecting pieces 4 and then remove the dustproof net 3 from the outer wall of the support plate 14 for cleaning.
[0041] The outer wall of the air guide sleeve 1 is provided with a battery block; the air cooler disclosed in this embodiment can be powered by a common power plug connected to the mains power or by a battery power supply, so that the air cooler can continue to operate under various conditions such as power outages, thereby improving the applicability of the air cooler.
