Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler technology, specifically to an air cooler that facilitates drainage. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of white sugar, after processes such as pressing, clarification, evaporation, crystallization, and separation from raw materials such as sugarcane or sugar beets, the finished white sugar often has a relatively high temperature, usually between 40-60℃. If this temperature is not lowered in time, the white sugar will easily absorb moisture and clump during subsequent storage and transportation, affecting the quality and shelf life of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to use a cooling fan.

[0003] Condensation is generated inside the evaporative cooler. In the cold winter, the water inside the cooler needs to be drained to prevent it from freezing and cracking. The existing drainage method is to use a bottom plug. Frequent operation and corrosion cause the plug and the thread of the plug to rust and slip, making it unusable. This increases the workload of maintenance and poses a safety hazard. Therefore, a cooler that is easy to drain is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, all components of the drainage assembly are made of materials resistant to salt spray corrosion.

[0012] Furthermore, when the limiting rod contacts the limiting hole, the blocking block will seal the water outlet pipe.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This air cooler, designed for easy drainage, uses a vertical rod and a fixing sleeve. A second spring and a limiting rod release the vertical rod from its position, while the first spring causes the plug to detach from the inner wall of the outlet pipe, allowing water to flow out from both the outlet and drain pipes. It employs a snap-fit ​​sealing method instead of threaded sealing, avoiding the problems caused by frequent operation and corrosion that could lead to the plug and the threads of the plug hole rusting and slipping, rendering the unit unusable.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a cooler for easy drainage, including a cooler body 1. A drainage assembly is provided on the bottom outer surface of the cooler body 1. The drainage assembly includes a water outlet pipe 2 fixedly connected to the drain port of the cooler, a drain pipe 3 fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the water outlet pipe 2, a block 4 movably connected to the inner surface of the water outlet pipe 2, a fixing plate 5 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the drain pipe 3, a vertical rod 7 movably inserted into the outer surface of the fixing plate 5, the top outer surface of the vertical rod 7 fixedly connected to the block 4, a fixing sleeve 8 fixedly connected to the bottom outer surface of the fixing plate 5, a limiting rod 10 movably inserted into the outer surface of the fixing sleeve 8, a pull plate fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting rod 10, and a limiting hole formed on the outer surface of the vertical rod 7, the limiting rod 10 being adapted to the limiting hole. Specifically, when drainage is required, the limiting rod 10 is pulled out from the limiting hole, releasing the limiting of the fixing sleeve 8 and the vertical rod 7, allowing the vertical rod 7 to move. Then, the first spring 6 returns to its original position. The elastic force of the first spring 6 and the gravity of the water flow cause the plug 4 to move downward, causing the plug 4 to detach from the inner wall of the outlet pipe 2, opening the outlet pipe 2 and allowing water to flow out. This uses a snap-fit ​​sealing method instead of a threaded sealing method, avoiding frequent operation and corrosion that could cause the plug and the plug hole threads to rust and slip, rendering them unusable. After the water flows out, the vertical rod 7 moves until the limiting rod 10 aligns with the limiting hole, allowing the limiting rod 10 to insert into the limiting hole and limit the vertical rod 7 and the fixing sleeve 8, thereby causing the plug 4 to seal the inner wall of the outlet pipe 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, multiple guide plates 11 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the air cooler body 1. The guide plates 11 are inclined and the inclined direction is towards the side of the drain pipe 3. Specifically, the water flow is guided by the guide plates 11, so that the water flow gathers at the drain pipe 3, which facilitates the complete discharge of water.

[0023] In this embodiment, a first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the fixed plate 5. The top outer surface of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the block 4. The first spring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the vertical rod 7. Specifically, when the block 4 blocks the water outlet pipe 2, the first spring 6 is in a stretched state. When the fixed sleeve 8 and the vertical rod 7 are released from their limits, the vertical rod 7 can move. At this time, the first spring 6 is reset. The elastic force of the first spring 6 and the gravity of the water flow cause the block 4 to move downward, so that the block 4 is separated from the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 2, opening the water outlet pipe 2 and allowing the water to flow out.

[0024] In this embodiment, the plug 4 is a frustum shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom. The outer surface of the plug 4 is provided with an antifreeze sealing gasket. Specifically, when the plug 4 is inserted into the water outlet pipe 2, the frustum shape of the plug 4 allows the outer diameter of the plug 4 to completely fit with the inner diameter of the water outlet pipe 2 at one point, thereby allowing the frustum-shaped plug 4 to completely seal the water outlet pipe 2. The antifreeze sealing gasket has antifreeze properties, preventing the water from freezing at the plug 4 in low-temperature conditions, which would prevent the plug 4 from detaching from the water outlet pipe 2. The sealing gasket also increases the sealing performance when the plug 4 contacts the water outlet pipe 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, a number of drainage holes are provided on the outer surface of the fixed plate 5. Specifically, by providing drainage holes, water flows through the drainage holes and is discharged from the fixed plate 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, a second spring 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed sleeve 8. The other end of the second spring 9 is fixedly connected to the pull plate. Specifically, when the pull plate is pulled to move the limiting rod 10, the second spring 9 deforms. When the force applied to the pull plate is stopped, the second spring 9 drives the pull plate to reset the limiting rod 10. The limiting rod 10 is stably located outside the fixed sleeve 8 through the action of the second spring 9.

[0027] In this embodiment, all components of the drainage assembly are made of salt spray corrosion resistant materials. Specifically, because salt spray corrosion resistant materials can withstand chemical and electrochemical corrosion in a salt spray environment, the corrosion resistance of the drainage assembly is improved.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the limiting rod 10 contacts the limiting hole, the blocking block 4 blocks the water outlet pipe 2. Specifically, by adopting the above technical solution, when the limiting rod 10 is inserted into the limiting hole to limit the vertical rod 7, the blocking block 4 can block the water outlet pipe 2.

[0029] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, when drainage is required, pulling the limiting rod 10 causes the second spring 9 to deform, pulling the limiting rod 10 out from the limiting hole, releasing the limiting of the fixing sleeve 8 and the vertical rod 7, allowing the vertical rod 7 to move. Then the first spring 6 returns to its original position. The elastic force of the first spring 6 and the gravity of the water flow cause the plug 4 to move downward, causing the plug 4 to detach from the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 2, opening the water outlet pipe 2 and allowing water to flow out. This adopts a snap-fit ​​sealing method instead of threaded sealing, avoiding frequent operation and corrosion that could cause the plug and the plug hole threads to rust and slip, making it unusable. After the water flows out, the vertical rod 7 moves until the limiting rod 10 corresponds to the limiting hole, allowing the limiting rod 10 to insert into the limiting hole, limiting the vertical rod 7 and the fixing sleeve 8, thereby causing the plug 4 to seal the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 2.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
