For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example 1

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a combined shell for an evaporative air cooler, including a base 1, an air cooler body 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, an installation mechanism 3 provided on the top of the base 1, and a limit mechanism 4 provided on the top of the installation mechanism 3;

[0030] The mounting mechanism 3 includes a first fixing block 31, which is symmetrically fixed to the top of the base 1. Positioning holes 32 are provided on the front and rear sides of the first fixing block 31 near the base 1. A positioning rod 33 is inserted into the positioning holes 32, and the other end of the positioning rod 33 is fixedly connected to a housing 34. Rectangular frames 35 are symmetrically fixed to the left and right sides of the housing 34 near the back of the top of the base 1. A first fixing bracket 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular frame 35 away from the housing 34. A first guide rod 37 is provided on the side of the first fixing bracket 36 away from the housing 34. One end of the first guide rod 37... A pull plate 38 is fixedly connected. A connecting plate 39 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first guide rod 37. An insert block 311 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 39 near the rectangular frame 35. A second guide rod 312 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the inside of the first fixing frame 36 on the side away from the rectangular frame 35. A first spring 313 is sleeved on the surface of the second guide rod 312 between the first fixing frame 36 and the connecting plate 39. L-blocks 314 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the housing 34 near the front of the top of the base 1. A slot 315 corresponding to the insert block 311 is opened on the side of the L-block 314 away from the housing 34.

[0031] The first fixing bracket 36 has a hole on the side away from the rectangular frame 35 that matches the first guide rod 37, and the surface of the first guide rod 37 is penetrated and slidably connected to the hole. The other end of the second guide rod 312 is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular frame 35 away from the housing 34.

[0032] The surface of the connecting plate 39 is provided with a hole that matches the second guide rod 312, and the connecting plate 39 is slidably connected to the surface of the second guide rod 312 through the hole. One end of the first spring 313 is fixedly connected to the side of the first fixing frame 36 away from the rectangular frame 35, and the other end of the first spring 313 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 39 away from the rectangular frame 35.

[0033] The rectangular frame 35 is far from the housing 34 and therefore has a groove that matches the insert 311. The surface of the insert 311 is through and slides left and right in the groove. The surface of the L-block 314 is slides back and forth in the inner wall of the rectangular frame 35. The other end of the L-block 314 is a beveled shape. Example 2

[0034] Please see Figure 6-7 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, a limiting mechanism 4 is obtained.

[0035] The limiting mechanism 4 includes a third guide rod 41, which is fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top of the housing 34 near the front of the base 1. A limiting plate 42 is slidably connected to the surface of the third guide rod 41. A limiting ring 43 is fixedly connected to the surface of the third guide rod 41 near the top. A second spring 44 is sleeved between the surface of the third guide rod 41 and the top of the housing 34 near the front of the base 1 and the limiting plate 42. A second fixing bracket 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the third guide rod 41. A second fixing block 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 34 near the back of the base 1. A rectangular groove 47 is opened on the front of the second fixing block 46.

[0036] The bottom end of the second spring 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 34 near the front of the base 1, and the top end of the second spring 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 42.

[0037] The limiting plate 42 is slidably connected to the rectangular groove 47. The rear end of the limiting plate 42 is inclined and protruding.

[0038] In actual operation, when using this device, when installing the combined housing of the evaporative air cooler, the housing 34 is first connected to the first fixing block 31 on the base 1 via the positioning rod 33. Since the first fixing block 31 is symmetrically fixed to the top of the base 1, and positioning holes 32 are provided on its front and rear sides near the base 1, the positioning rod 33 is inserted into the positioning holes 32, thus achieving the initial positioning of the housing 34 on the base 1, providing a foundation for more precise subsequent installation. Rectangular frames 35 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the housing 34 near the back of the top of the base 1. The side of the rectangular frame 35 away from the housing 34 is connected to the first fixing bracket 36. The first fixing bracket 36 contains a first guide rod 37, one end of which is connected to a pull plate 38, and the other end to a connecting plate 39. An insert block 311 is fixed to the side of the connecting plate 39 near the rectangular frame 35. Simultaneously, a second guide rod 312 is symmetrically fixed vertically on the side of the first fixing bracket 36 away from the rectangular frame 35. The first spring 313 is sleeved on the 12, and the other end of the second guide rod 312 is fixed on the side of the rectangular frame 35 away from the housing 34. When it is necessary to further fix the housing 34, the first guide rod 37 and the connecting plate 39 are moved by pulling the pull plate 38, so that the insert 311 moves closer to the L block 314. The L block 314 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the housing 34 near the front of the top of the base 1. The side away from the housing 34 has a slot 315 corresponding to the insert 311. When the insert 311 moves closer to the L block 314, since the other end of the L block 314 is sloping, the insert 311 will be guided when it contacts the sloping surface, making it easier to insert into the slot 315. When the insert 311 is inserted into the slot 315, the two housings 34 are installed and fixed.

[0039] When the two housings 34 are installed, the rear end of the limiting plate 42 will enter the rectangular groove 47. Since the rear end of the limiting plate 42 is convex, it will be squeezed and moved downward while sliding in the rectangular groove 47, and at the same time, it will compress the second spring 44. After the two housings 34 are installed, the limiting plate 42 will move upward by the elastic force of the second spring 44. The convex shape of the rear end of the limiting plate 42 will limit the limiting plate 42 itself, so that the limiting plate 42 will not slide out of the rectangular groove 47, thereby limiting the two housings 34.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
