Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling equipment technology, specifically to a cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization and the increasing energy efficiency standards for civil buildings, the proportion of air conditioning cooling systems in total energy consumption is gradually increasing. Improving cooling efficiency and reducing operating energy consumption has become a key research focus in related technological fields. As a cooling method that relies on the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption, evaporative cooling devices are widely used in large building air conditioning systems, water circulation systems, and data center cooling scenarios due to their relatively simple structure and low operating costs. Especially in the cooling tower stage of central air conditioning systems, their performance directly affects the overall energy efficiency level of the system.

[0003] In existing technologies, common evaporative cooling devices typically use electric fans to force airflow through the packing zone, while high-pressure water pumps atomize and spray out circulating cooling water. In the process of direct contact between air and water mist, water evaporation and heat exchange are achieved, thereby reducing the water temperature.

[0004] However, existing traditional devices still have many problems and shortcomings in actual use, mainly including: their system operation heavily relies on electric equipment for power, resulting in high overall energy consumption, which does not conform to the current development trend of energy conservation and carbon reduction; secondly, their complex structure, redundant control system, and numerous mechanical transmission components lead to high equipment failure rate, frequent maintenance, and significantly increased operation and maintenance costs; in addition, the spray system mostly uses conventional nozzles, resulting in large atomized particle size and uneven water droplet distribution, causing low evaporation efficiency and difficulty in quickly reducing the cooling water temperature; the kinetic energy of the water body used in the cooling process is not fully utilized, the energy conversion path is single, resulting in low overall energy utilization rate of the device.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0028] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a cooling device, including: a mounting base 1, an atomizing heat dissipation structure 3, and a fluid drive structure 2. The mounting base 1 is provided with a conveying chamber 11. The atomizing heat dissipation structure 3 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1 and communicates with the conveying chamber 11. The fluid drive structure 2 includes a housing 21, a drive turbine 22, and a transmission shaft 23. The housing 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1. The drive turbine 22 is located inside the housing 21. One end of the transmission shaft 23 is connected to the drive turbine 22. The transmission shaft 23 passes through the conveying chamber and extends to be connected to the atomizing heat dissipation structure 3. The housing 21 is provided with a water inlet. Cooling water enters the housing 21 from the water inlet to drive the drive turbine 22 to rotate. The water then passes through the conveying chamber 11 and is sprayed out from the atomizing heat dissipation structure 3. The transmission shaft 23 drives the atomizing heat dissipation structure 3 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, this utility model provides a cooling device that utilizes a fluid-driven structure 2. Cooling water entering the housing 21 serves as a power source, driving the turbine 22 and transmission shaft 23 to rotate. This achieves coordinated operation between the rotation of the atomizing heat dissipation structure 3 and the spraying of cooling water, eliminating the need for additional electrical power and effectively reducing overall energy consumption. The rotational motion of the atomizing heat dissipation structure 3, combined with the atomized spraying of cooling water, ensures thorough dispersion and rapid evaporation of the cooling water, significantly enhancing heat dissipation and improving cooling efficiency. This cooling device effectively reduces energy consumption while improving heat dissipation efficiency, demonstrating high practical value and promising prospects for wider application.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 21 has a volute-like structure.

[0032] Specifically, the volute-like structure has good fluid guiding performance, which can effectively guide the cooling water entering the housing 21 to flow along a specific path, so that the fluid forms stable rotational kinetic energy when driving the turbine 22, improves the uniformity of force and rotational efficiency of the driving turbine 22, thereby improving the driving response speed and power output of the entire atomizing heat dissipation structure 3.

[0033] Understandably, the volute structure enables the conversion of cooling water flow velocity and the concentration of kinetic energy, reducing eddies and turbulence, decreasing flow resistance, and minimizing energy loss during water transmission, thus further optimizing the energy efficiency ratio. Furthermore, the volute structure makes the fluid flow smoother, reduces impact force, and significantly lowers noise during turbine rotation, improving the quietness of the device's operation and making it suitable for applications with high noise control requirements.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, the atomizing heat dissipation structure 3 includes an atomizing disk 31 and an atomizing tube 32. The atomizing disk 31 is connected to the mounting base 1 via a connecting disk 33. The atomizing disk 31 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The atomizing tube 32 is disposed on the atomizing disk 31 and communicates with the conveying cavity 11.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple atomizing tubes 32 are provided, and the multiple atomizing tubes 32 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the atomizing disk 31.

[0036] The device features multiple atomizing tubes 32 evenly arranged on a rotating atomizing disc 31. Cooling water is sprayed out through the atomizing tubes 32 under the action of centrifugal force, forming a fine and evenly distributed water mist, which effectively increases the spray coverage area and improves heat dissipation efficiency. The atomizing disc 31 is connected to the mounting base 1 via a connecting disc 33 and is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 23, ensuring a stable rotational power transmission path and a robust mechanical structure. This ensures the concentricity and rotational accuracy of the atomizing disc 31 during high-speed operation, avoiding vibration and sway. The mechanical connection between the atomizing disc 31 and the connecting disc 33 facilitates disassembly, maintenance, or replacement of worn parts, improving the maintainability and service life of the device, and making it suitable for long-term operation in industrial environments.

[0037] Understandably, the atomizing tube 32 is connected to the delivery chamber 11, allowing cooling water to be directly guided from the mounting base 1 to the atomizing disc 31. This compact structure reduces intermediate piping connections, lowers leakage risk, and improves fluid delivery efficiency and system reliability. Multiple atomizing tubes 32 can be arranged in zones and controlled for different time periods, facilitating flexible adjustments under varying operating conditions. This enhances the system's intelligence and energy efficiency. The modular design of the atomizing tube 32 allows users to easily change the number of nozzles or adjust their angles to meet diverse cooling needs, improving adaptability and maintenance convenience.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the atomizing tube 32 includes a connecting tube 321 and an atomizing nozzle 322. The atomizing disc 31 is provided with a plurality of water outlet pipes communicating with the conveying chamber 11. One end of the connecting tube 321 is connected to the water outlet pipe, and the other end of the connecting tube 321 is connected to the atomizing nozzle 322.

[0039] Specifically, by setting several water outlet pipes connected to the delivery chamber 11 on the atomizing plate 31, cooling water can flow sequentially through the water outlet pipes and connecting pipes 321 along a fixed path, and finally be delivered to each atomizing nozzle 322. By setting multiple distribution paths for the water outlet pipes and connecting pipes 321, the number and distribution position of the atomizing nozzles 322 can be adjusted according to specific operating requirements to meet the personalized cooling requirements of multiple scenarios and multiple temperature zones.

[0040] It is understood that the connecting pipe 321 and the atomizing nozzle 322 can be separately configured, facilitating flexible adjustment of the nozzle orientation and nozzle structure according to specific usage requirements. This enables multi-angle, directional atomization, improves spray fineness, and further enhances the cooling effect and the targeted coverage of the atomization. Furthermore, the separate design of the connecting pipe 321 and the nozzle provides greater structural detachability, allowing users to quickly replace relevant components during long-term operation or when the atomizing nozzle 322 becomes clogged, reducing maintenance costs and extending the device's lifespan. In some embodiments of this invention, the atomizing nozzle 322 has a spherical structure.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the atomizing tube 32 extends radially upward from the inside out, and the atomizing nozzle 322 is provided with a water outlet, the opening direction of which is set along the tangential direction of the atomizing disc 31.

[0042] Specifically, by setting the water outlet of the atomizing nozzle 322 in the tangential direction of the atomizing disc 31, the high-pressure water jet generates a reaction force in the rotational direction, which can provide a continuous tangential driving force to the atomizing disc 31. This forms a synergistic drive with the original transmission shaft 23, enhancing the rotational capability of the atomizing disc 31. The spray kinetic energy is converted into rotational kinetic energy, making full use of the flow potential energy of the cooling water to drive the atomizing disc 31 to rotate, reducing the dependence on the mechanical transmission system, realizing a partial self-driving function, and effectively reducing energy consumption and system complexity.

[0043] Understandably, the atomizing tube 32 is arranged at an upward angle from the inside out, so that the cooling water is sprayed out along an oblique path under the action of centrifugal force, which helps to form a more stable and uniform spray trajectory, increase the initial velocity of the droplets, and further improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the atomizing disc 31 is provided with a receiving part on the side near the mounting base 1. The receiving part is fixedly connected to the connecting disc 33. The atomizing heat dissipation structure 3 also includes fan blades 34. Multiple fan blades 34 are provided, and the multiple fan blades 34 are evenly distributed on the receiving part in the circumferential direction.

[0045] Specifically, during the atomization and spraying of cooling water through the nozzle, the reaction force of the water flow drives the atomizing disk 31 to rotate. By installing fan blades 34 on the atomizing disk 31, the rotational speed of the atomizing disk 31 is further increased under the dual effects of fluid injection and air turbulence, enhancing the overall kinetic energy conversion efficiency of the system. The fan blades 34 rotate synchronously at high speed with the atomizing disk 31, generating a stable upward airflow that pushes the sprayed atomized water droplets upward and rapidly diffuses them in the air, significantly increasing the atomization coverage area, improving the local air heat exchange effect, and enhancing the uniformity of cooling. During the upward transport of the water mist, due to its small particle size and large surface area, it evaporates rapidly under the turbulence of the rising airflow, releasing a large amount of sensible heat, significantly reducing the water temperature and the surrounding air temperature, achieving the first stage of powerful cooling.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, the atomizing heat dissipation structure 3 further includes an umbrella support 35, and the atomizing disk 31 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 23 through the umbrella support 35.

[0047] Specifically, by setting up the umbrella support 35, a stable connection interface is formed between the atomizing disc 31 and the drive shaft 23, increasing the contact area, reducing stress concentration, and improving the uniformity of force on the connection parts during rotation, ensuring that the structure of the atomizing disc 31 does not loosen or wobble when it rotates at high speed. As a connecting intermediate component, the umbrella support 35 facilitates quick assembly and disassembly between the atomizing disc 31 and the drive shaft 23, allowing users to perform independent operations during maintenance, replacement, or debugging, thereby improving the overall maintainability and flexibility of the system for future adaptation.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting plate 33 has a ring-shaped structure, the upper end of the mounting base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 12, the inner ring of the connecting plate 33 extends downward to form a mounting protrusion 331, the mounting groove 12 is provided with an elastic support structure 4, and the mounting protrusion 331 is installed in cooperation with the mounting groove 12 through the elastic support structure 4, so that the connecting plate 33 and the mounting base 1 are rotatably connected.

[0049] Specifically, by embedding the mounting protrusion 331 of the connecting disc 33 into the mounting groove 12 and providing flexible constraint by the elastic support structure 4, the connecting disc 33 obtains stable support while having good rotatability, ensuring that the atomizing disc 31 rotates smoothly with the drive shaft; the elastic support structure 4 has a vibration absorption and buffering function, which can effectively reduce the mechanical impact and vibration generated during the rotation of the atomizing disc 31, prevent resonance, and improve the stability and reliability of the system operation.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the elastic support structure 4 includes an elastic support member and an abutment member. The bottom of the elastic support member abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 12, and the lower end face of the elastic support member abuts against the lower end face of the abutment member. The abutment member and the mounting groove 12 enclose a limiting groove. The mounting protrusion 331 is rotatably disposed in the limiting groove. The lower end face of the mounting protrusion 331 abuts against the abutment member. The length of the mounting protrusion 331 in the vertical direction is greater than the depth of the limiting groove, so that there is an installation gap between the lower end face of the connecting plate 33 and the upper end face of the mounting base 1.

[0051] Specifically, by setting the installation protrusion 331 to rotate in the limiting slide groove, the connecting plate 33 has a slight floating space in the vertical direction. Combined with the buffering effect of the elastic support, it rotates more flexibly and smoothly, reducing running resistance. A reasonable installation gap is set between the connecting plate 33 and the mounting base 1 to avoid hard contact under high-speed rotation or thermal expansion and contraction, effectively reducing the risk of structural wear, jamming or damage, and extending the service life of the component.

[0052] Understandably, the limiting groove effectively constrains the mounting protrusion 331, ensuring that it rotates and micro-moves only within a preset range, preventing the connecting plate 33 from displacing in a direction other than the design direction, and ensuring the reliable operation of the system.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
