Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dry cooler technology, specifically a dry cooler with a supplemental cooling function. Background Technology
[0002] A dry cooler is a high-efficiency heat dissipation device that achieves cooling through natural or forced air convection without the need for water as an intermediate medium. It is suitable for water-scarce or water-sensitive scenarios. Its core principle is that a hot fluid flows in a closed pipe, and heat is transferred through the pipe wall to the external fins and carried away by the ambient air.
[0003] Dry coolers are typically equipped with a spray system during operation. During periods of high summer temperatures or when equipment experiences sudden high loads, the dry cooler may experience insufficient cooling capacity. Activating the spray system quickly lowers the cooler's temperature, ensuring normal equipment operation and preventing equipment malfunctions or performance degradation due to excessive heat, thus providing supplemental cooling. Dry coolers usually have exhaust fans at the top. However, since dry coolers are often deployed outdoors and exposed to natural conditions for extended periods, their top fans become the primary channel for external dust, debris, and particles to enter the equipment. This intrusion is particularly pronounced in areas with high wind and sand. Once dust and debris accumulate inside the dry cooler, heat exchange efficiency will significantly decrease, and the accumulated dust will increase the operating load on the fan and motor, accelerating wear on mechanical parts and shortening the equipment's lifespan. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model, by setting a top plate, a diagonal rod, a round rod, and a lifting frame, allows the top plate to shield the fan on top of the dryer body when it is not in operation, preventing dust and debris from entering the interior of the dryer body through the fan. When the dryer body is in operation, starting the motor causes the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn causes the hinge rod to push the lifting frame down along the outer surface of the vertical rod. The lifting frame then pushes the round rod downward, causing the diagonal rod to rotate the top plate upward, opening the top plate and allowing the fan to exhaust air normally.
[0014] 2. This utility model incorporates an installation frame, a filter plate, and a locking block. The filter plate effectively filters impurities in the spray water, preventing them from clogging the nozzles. When the operator needs to clean or replace the filter plate, they can push the locking block to the left, causing it to move to the left and disengage from the top of the sealing gasket, thus releasing the fixing effect on the installation frame. At this point, the operator can pull the handle upwards to move the installation frame and the filter plate out of the water tank, allowing for cleaning and replacement of the filter plate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a dry cooler with a cooling replenishment function, including a dry cooler body 1. Baffles 2 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the top of the dry cooler body 1. Side plates 3 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the baffles 2. The bottom of the side plates 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the dry cooler body 1. A fixed shaft 4 is fixedly sleeved inside the top of the side plates 3. A top plate 5 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed shaft 4. The outer surface of the top plate 5 is movably connected to the inner surface of the baffles 2. A support block 6 is movably connected to the outer side of the bottom of the top plate 5. The outer surface of the support block 6 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the baffles 2. An inclined rod 7 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the top plate 5. A round rod 8 is fixedly sleeved inside the top of the inclined rod 7. A vertical rod 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the dry cooler body 1. A lifting frame 10 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the vertical rod 9. The inner surface of the lifting frame 10 is movably connected to the outer surface of the round rod 8. A motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 9. A rotating shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of the output shaft of the motor 11. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 12. A hinge rod 14 is hinged to the bottom end of the rotating rod 13. The bottom end of the hinge rod 14 is hinged to the top of the lifting frame 10.
[0024] Due to the design of the top plate 5, it can block external debris, thereby preventing dust and debris from entering the interior of the dryer body 1 through the fan at the top of the dryer body 1. When the dryer body 1 is started, the motor 11 can be started to make the lifting frame 10 move downward along the outer surface of the vertical rod 9, thereby squeezing and pushing the outer surface of the round rod 8, so that the top plate 5 can rotate upward and open.
[0025] A water tank 15 is fixedly installed on the right side of the bottom front of the dry cooler body 1. A water pump 16 is fixedly installed on the right side of the bottom front of the dry cooler body 1. A connecting pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the left side of the water pump 16. The left side of the connecting pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water tank 15.
[0026] When the water pump 16 starts, it will draw the spray water inside the water tank 15 through the connecting pipe 17.
[0027] The water pump 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outlet pipe 18, and the right end of the outlet pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the fixed pipe 19. The outer surface of the fixed pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the right side of the dry cooler body 1. Spray pipes 20 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the fixed pipe 19. Spray nozzles 21 are fixedly connected to the top of the spray pipe 20, and the outer surface of the spray pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the dry cooler body 1.
[0028] By setting up the spray pipe 20, the water pump 16 can deliver the spray water inside the water tank 15 to the inside of the spray pipe 20 through the outlet pipe 18 and the fixed pipe 19 after starting, and spray it out through the nozzle 21. During the high temperature period in summer or when the equipment is under sudden high load, the dry cooler body 1 may have insufficient cooling capacity. Spraying spray water through the nozzle 21 can reduce the temperature of the dry cooler body 1, ensure the normal operation of the dry cooler body 1, and avoid failure or performance degradation due to excessive temperature.
[0029] Limiting plates 22 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides inside the water tank 15. An installation frame 23 is movably connected between the limiting plates 22. The top of the installation frame 23 extends to the outside of the water tank 15 and is movably connected to the inner surface of the water tank 15.
[0030] By setting the limiting plate 22, the limiting plate 22 can limit the installation frame 23 and prevent the installation frame 23 from shifting position under the impact of water flow.
[0031] The mounting frame 23 has a filter plate 24 fixedly fitted inside, a handle 26 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 23, a sealing gasket 25 fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 23, the inner wall of the sealing gasket 25 is movably fitted with the outer surface of the handle 26, and the bottom of the sealing gasket 25 is movably connected to the top of the water tank 15.
[0032] The operator can pull the handle 26 upwards, causing the mounting frame 23 to move upwards, thereby removing the filter plate 24 from the inside of the water tank 15.
[0033] The water tank 15 has an installation box 27 fixedly installed on the left side of the top. The installation box 27 has a locking block 28 movably connected inside. The right end of the locking block 28 passes through the installation box 27 and extends to the outside of the installation box 27 and is movably connected to the top of the sealing gasket 25.
[0034] By setting the locking block 28, the locking block 28 can press down the sealing gasket 25, thereby fixing the mounting frame 23.
[0035] A spring 29 is fixedly connected to the left side of the card block 28, and the left end of the spring 29 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the mounting box 27.
[0036] When the locking block 28 moves to the left, it will compress the spring 29, which will then push the locking block 28 to the right to reset under the elastic recovery action.
[0037] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0038] Due to the design of the top plate 5, it can shield the fan, preventing dust and debris from entering the interior of the dryer body 1 through the fan when the dryer body 1 is not started. When the dryer body 1 is started, the motor 11 can be started, causing the rotating shaft 12 to drive the rotating rod 13 to rotate. This causes the hinge rod 14 to push the lifting frame 10 downward along the outer surface of the vertical rod 9. The lifting frame 10 then presses against the outer surface of the round rod 8, causing the round rod 8 to descend. The round rod 8 then drives the top plate 5 to rotate upward around the fixed shaft 4 via the inclined rod 7, thereby opening the top plate 5 and allowing the fan at the top of the dryer body 1 to exhaust air normally.
[0039] During periods of high summer temperatures or when the equipment is under sudden high load, operators can start the water pump 16 to draw spray water from the water tank 15 through the connecting pipe 17. The water then flows through the outlet pipe 18, the fixed pipe 19, and the spray pipe 20, and is finally sprayed out through the nozzle 21, thereby cooling the dry cooler body 1 and ensuring normal equipment operation. This prevents equipment failure or performance degradation due to excessive temperature, thus providing supplemental cooling. Due to the design of the filter plate 24, it can filter impurities in the spray water, preventing impurities from clogging the nozzle 21. When it is necessary to clean the filter plate 24, the locking block 28 can be pushed to the left to move it to the left and disengage it from the sealing gasket 25, thereby releasing the fixing effect on the mounting frame 23. At this time, the operator can lift the handle 26 upward to remove the mounting frame 23 and the filter plate 24 from the inside of the water tank 15, thereby cleaning or replacing the filter plate 24.
