Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chilled water machine technology, and in particular to a water tank for chilled water machines. Background Technology
[0002] Simply put, a chilled water machine is a machine that outputs low-temperature chilled water. The output water temperature can be adjusted between 3 and 35 degrees Celsius. There are many different types of chilled water machines, which are mainly used for cooling rubber, plastics and molding dies in processing machinery. It can greatly improve the surface smoothness of plastic products, reduce surface marks and internal stress, prevent shrinkage and deformation of products, facilitate demolding of plastic products, accelerate product shaping, and thus greatly improve the production efficiency of plastic molding machines.
[0003] Most existing water tanks cannot filter the conduction water. Impurities in the conduction water can cause pipe blockage after prolonged use of the chiller. Furthermore, the conduction water is water that has undergone heat exchange in the cooling pool and is transported back with a certain amount of heat. Usually, the conduction water with heat is directly exchanged with coolant, which requires a large amount of coolant and increases costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water tank for a chilled water machine to solve the above-mentioned problems.

An installation groove is formed on the top surface of the inlet tank, and several through holes are formed on the bottom surface of the installation groove. A filter assembly is connected to the installation groove, and an inlet pipe is connected to the filter assembly. The other end of the inlet pipe is connected to the outlet end of a water pump fixed on the filter assembly. The inlet end of the water pump is connected to a cooling pool. Several arc-shaped ventilation holes are formed on the top of the inlet tank, and a cooling assembly is provided on the outside of the arc-shaped ventilation holes. The cooling assembly is connected to the inlet tank. A spirally arranged coolant circulation pipe is provided in the outlet tank. The inlet and outlet ends of the coolant circulation pipe pass through the outlet tank and are connected to a coolant supply source. A drain pipe is connected to the top of the outlet tank and is connected to the cooling pool.
[0007] Furthermore, the filter assembly includes a filter cylinder, the inlet pipe and the water pump are both connected to the filter cylinder, the bottom of the filter cylinder is fixed in the mounting groove, a bracket is connected to the inner wall of the filter cylinder, a first conical filter screen is provided on the bracket, and a cap is threaded to the top of the filter cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, a second conical filter is provided above the first conical filter, and the second conical filter is connected to the first conical filter via a support rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided between the filter cartridge and the mounting groove.
[0010] Furthermore, a handle is attached to the top surface of the cover.
[0011] Furthermore, the cooling assembly includes a fan shroud connected to the outside of the arc-shaped ventilation hole and an exhaust fan connected to the side wall of the water inlet tank. The fan shroud is annular, and the exhaust fan and the fan shroud are connected by a connecting pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, a level gauge is installed inside the water inlet tank.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This invention can filter the conductive water through the filter component to prevent pipe blockage, and by setting through holes, the conductive water can drip into the water tank to form a water curtain, which accelerates the dissipation of heat in the conductive water. The cooling component can also quickly absorb the hot air, reducing the amount of coolant used and lowering costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown, a water tank for a chilled water machine includes an inlet tank 1 and an outlet tank 2 connected to each other. The bottom sidewalls of the inlet tank 1 and the outlet tank 2 are connected. An installation groove 3 is provided on the top surface of the inlet tank 1, and a plurality of through holes 4 are provided on the bottom surface of the installation groove 3. A filter assembly is connected inside the installation groove 3, and an inlet pipe 5 is connected to the filter assembly. The other end of the inlet pipe 5 is connected to the outlet end of a water pump 6 fixed on the filter assembly, and the inlet end of the water pump 6 is connected to a cooling pool.
[0021] The filter assembly includes a filter cylinder 10, with the inlet pipe 5 and the water pump 6 both connected to the filter cylinder 10. A sealing gasket 16 is provided between the filter cylinder 10 and the mounting groove 3. The bottom of the filter cylinder 10 is fixed in the mounting groove 3. A bracket 11 is connected to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 10, and a first conical filter screen 12 is provided on the bracket 11. A cap 13 is threaded to the top of the filter cylinder 10, and a handle 17 is connected to the top surface of the cap 13. When it is necessary to open the cap 13, the handle 17 is held and the cap 13 is rotated.
[0022] A second conical filter 14 is provided above the first conical filter 12, and the second conical filter 14 is connected to the first conical filter 12 via a support rod 15. The mesh diameter of the second conical filter 14 is larger than that of the first conical filter 12.
[0023] The top of the water inlet tank 1 has several arc-shaped ventilation holes 7. A cooling component is provided on the outside of the arc-shaped ventilation holes 7 and is connected to the water inlet tank 1. The cooling component includes a fan shroud 18 connected to the outside of the arc-shaped ventilation holes 7 and an exhaust fan 19 connected to the side wall of the water inlet tank 1. The fan shroud 18 is annular, and the exhaust fan 19 and the fan shroud 18 are connected by a connecting pipe 20.
[0024] The outlet tank 2 is equipped with a spirally arranged coolant circulation pipe 8. The inlet and outlet ends of the coolant circulation pipe 8 pass through the outlet tank 2 and are connected to the coolant supply source. The top of the outlet tank 2 is connected to a drain pipe 9, which is connected to the inlet end of the cooling pool water pump.
[0025] The water inlet tank 1 is equipped with a level gauge 21 to monitor the liquid level in the water inlet tank 1 and prevent the liquid level from being too high, which would result in the filtered water not having enough height for heat dissipation.
[0026] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0027] During use, the used conduction water is pumped into the filter cylinder 10 by the water pump 6. After being filtered by the second conical filter screen 14 and the first conical filter screen 12 in sequence, the conduction water drips into the water inlet tank 1 through the through hole 4. When the conduction water drips into the water inlet tank 1, the heat emitted by it enters the wind hood 18 through the arc-shaped ventilation hole 7, and then is discharged to the outside by the exhaust fan 19. The conduction water that falls into the bottom of the water inlet tank 1 enters the water outlet tank 2 through the bottom opening. It is cooled by the coolant transported by the coolant circulation pipe 8 in the water outlet tank 2. After being cooled, the conduction water is sent back to the cooling pool through the top drain pipe 9 to cool the product.
