Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of fan coil unit technology, specifically a cleaning device for surface cooler fan coil units. Background Technology
[0002] A fan coil unit, also known as a fan coil unit, is a terminal device in an air conditioning system. It consists of a small fan, an electric motor, and a coil (air heat exchanger). Chilled water or hot water flows through the coil, exchanging heat with the outside air to cool, dehumidify, or heat the air, thereby regulating indoor air parameters. It is a commonly used terminal device for both cooling and heating.
[0003] However, the existing device does not have an integrated water supply component for cleaning the surface cooler, so it cannot provide conditions for continuous cleaning of the fan coil surface cooler, and it cannot add detergent to the clean water in a measured amount and stir it, thus failing to improve the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a cleaning device for fan coil units of cooling coils, in order to solve the problems that the aforementioned device does not integrate a water supply component for cleaning the cooling coil, thus failing to provide conditions for continuous cleaning of the fan coil unit cooling coil and failing to add detergent to the clean water in a quantitative manner and stir it, thereby failing to improve the cleaning effect.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: it includes a mixing tank, an electric butterfly valve is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mixing tank, a detergent tank is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the electric butterfly valve, a screw cap is threaded on the upper surface of the detergent tank, a stirring roller is movably installed inside the mixing tank, and a servo motor is fixedly installed through the mixing tank on the outer surface of the stirring roller.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, an electric butterfly valve is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mixing tank, and a detergent tank is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the electric butterfly valve. A screw cap is threaded onto the upper surface of the detergent tank. An agitator roller is movably installed inside the mixing tank, and a servo motor is fixedly installed through the outer surface of the agitator roller. The mixing tank, as a mixing container for the cleaning solution, thoroughly mixes clean water and detergent to form a uniform cleaning solution, and can store a certain amount of cleaning solution for continuous supply during the cleaning process. The electric butterfly valve is electrically controlled to open, close, and adjust the opening degree, thereby precisely controlling the flow rate of detergent from the detergent tank. By controlling the opening time of the electric butterfly valve, the dosage of detergent flowing into the mixing tank is quantitatively controlled. The detergent tank is specifically used to store detergent, providing a stable source of detergent for the cleaning process and ensuring sufficient detergent supply to meet different cleaning tasks. To meet service requirements, cleaning agent can be added to the cleaning agent tank by simply opening the screw cap, ensuring timely replenishment of the cleaning agent dosage. The stirring roller is connected to the mixing tank via ball bearings, allowing the stirring roller to rotate and mix the water and cleaning agent in the tank, ensuring full contact and fusion to form a uniform cleaning solution. This promotes the dispersion of any sediments or clumps in the cleaning solution, preventing them from settling or clumping, and ensuring the uniformity and stability of the cleaning solution. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly installed to the stirring roller, serving as the power source for the stirring roller's rotation. This servo motor can stir the water and cleaning agent inside the mixing tank, improving the cleaning effect. By integrating a water supply component for cleaning the surface cooler into the device, continuous cleaning of the fan coil surface cooler can be achieved. It can also quantitatively add cleaning agent to the water and stir it, further enhancing the cleaning effect.

The nozzle pipe contains pipes and multiple nozzles. The pipes are used to distribute the cleaning fluid to the nozzles, and the nozzles spray the cleaning fluid into the surface cooler to clean the outer surface of the surface cooler.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a metal bellows is fixedly installed on the front outer surface of the mixing tank, and a booster pump is fixedly installed between the nozzle pipe and the metal bellows.

The water inlet trough provides a location for the conversion between the power and signal lines inside the fan coil unit and the external cables. The fan casing and the junction box are installed together by hooks and hanging rings. The upper surface of the junction box is used to prevent the cleaning fluid generated during the operation of the fan coil unit from falling onto the ground, which would require staff to clean the ground later. The right outer surface of the junction box contains a pipe joint for connecting an external pipe to drain the water accumulated inside the junction box.
[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example
[0029] Reference Figures 1-3The system includes a mixing tank 1, which serves as a mixing container for the cleaning solution. The mixing tank 1 thoroughly mixes water and detergent to form a homogeneous cleaning solution and stores a certain amount of cleaning solution for continuous supply during the cleaning process. An electric butterfly valve 2 is electrically controlled to open, close, and adjust the opening degree, thereby precisely controlling the flow rate of detergent from the detergent tank 3. By controlling the opening time of the electric butterfly valve 2, the dosage of detergent flowing into the mixing tank 1 is quantitatively controlled. The detergent tank 3 is specifically designed to store detergent, providing a stable source of detergent for the cleaning process and ensuring sufficient supply to meet the needs of different cleaning tasks. Detergent can be added to the detergent tank 3 by opening the cap 4, allowing for timely replenishment of the detergent dosage. An agitator roller is also included. The mixing tank 1 and the stirring roller 5 are connected by ball bearings, so that the stirring roller 5 can stir and mix the clean water and cleaning agent in the tank by rotating, so that the two can fully contact and blend to form a uniform cleaning solution. This promotes the dispersion of any sediments or lumps in the cleaning solution, prevents them from settling or clumping, and ensures the uniformity and stability of the cleaning solution. The output shaft of the servo motor 6 is fixedly installed with the stirring roller 5. The servo motor 6 serves as the power source for the rotation and stirring of the stirring roller 5, and can stir the clean water and cleaning agent in the mixing tank 1 to improve the cleaning effect. By integrating a water supply component for cleaning the surface cooler into the device, conditions can be provided for continuous cleaning of the fan coil surface cooler. It can also add cleaning agent to the clean water in a metered amount and stir it to improve the cleaning effect.

The water supply pipe 8 can be connected to an external water supply pump, allowing external water to enter the mixing tank 1 when it is necessary to add clean water to the mixing tank 1.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The system employs a combination of an electric rotating shaft 11 and a nozzle pipe 12. The electric rotating shaft 11 drives the nozzle pipe 12 to rotate, enabling the nozzle pipe 12 to cover the outer surface of the fan coil unit's surface cooler. The nozzle pipe 12 contains pipes and multiple nozzles. The pipes distribute the cleaning fluid to the nozzles, and the nozzles spray the cleaning fluid into the surface cooler to clean its outer surface.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The metal bellows 13 is used to pressurize the water in the mixing tank 1 to ensure that the cleaning fluid can be delivered to the nozzle pipe 12 under sufficient pressure. The booster pump 14 is used to connect the fixed pipe between the nozzle pipe 12 and the metal bellows 13. The booster pump 14 can adjust its own angle when the nozzle pipe 12 is rotated by the electric rotating shaft 11, thereby ensuring that the cleaning fluid in the metal bellows 13 can be input into the nozzle pipe 12.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The electric fan 15 contains a brushless motor and fan blades. Starting the brushless motor can drive the fan blades to rotate, allowing external air to enter the device through the fan blades, providing conditions for the normal operation of the device. The docking plate 16 contains threaded holes, which provide a position for the installation of the threaded holes. The threaded holes provide conditions for the external screws and nuts of the fan coil unit to be connected to the docking plate 16, allowing the fan coil unit to be fixed to the ceiling.

The solenoid valves 18 are set to one inlet and one outlet respectively. Their outer sides are connected to refrigerant pipes and compressors, etc., and can control the flow rate of refrigerant entering and leaving the main body 17 of the surface cooler.

The water trough 20 provides a location for the conversion between the power and signal lines inside the fan coil and the external cables. The fan housing 9 and the junction box 21 are installed together by hooks and hanging rings. The upper surface of the junction box 21 is used to prevent the cleaning fluid generated during the operation of the fan coil from falling onto the ground, so that the staff will need to clean the ground later. The right outer surface of the junction box 21 contains a pipe joint for connecting an external pipe to drain the water accumulated inside the junction box 21.
[0037] The implementation principle of the cleaning device for a surface cooler fan coil unit according to this application is as follows: A mixing tank 1 serves as a mixing container for the cleaning liquid, thoroughly mixing clean water and cleaning agent to form a uniform cleaning liquid. It also stores a certain amount of cleaning liquid for continuous supply during the cleaning process. An electric butterfly valve 2 is electrically controlled to open, close, and adjust its opening degree, thereby precisely controlling the flow rate of cleaning agent from the cleaning agent tank 3. By controlling the opening time of the electric butterfly valve 2, the dosage of cleaning agent flowing into the mixing tank 1 is quantitatively controlled. The cleaning agent tank 3 is specifically used to store cleaning agent, providing a stable source of cleaning agent for the cleaning process and ensuring sufficient supply to meet the needs of different cleaning tasks. Cleaning agent can be added to the cleaning agent tank 3 by opening the cap 4, allowing for timely replenishment. The cleaning agent dosage is specified. The stirring roller 5 is connected to the mixing tank 1 via ball bearings, allowing the stirring roller 5 to rotate and mix the clean water and cleaning agent in the tank, ensuring full contact and fusion to form a uniform cleaning solution. This promotes the dispersion of any sediments or clumps in the cleaning solution, preventing them from settling or clumping, and ensuring the uniformity and stability of the cleaning solution. The output shaft of the servo motor 6 is fixedly installed with the stirring roller 5, serving as the power source for the rotation and stirring of the stirring roller 5. This allows for the mixing of the clean water and cleaning agent inside the mixing tank 1, improving the cleaning effect. By integrating a water supply component for cleaning the surface cooler into the device, continuous cleaning of the fan coil surface cooler can be achieved. Furthermore, the device allows for the quantitative addition and stirring of cleaning agent into the clean water, further enhancing the cleaning effect.
