Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air-cooled equipment technology, specifically to a modular and detachable air cooler. Background Technology

[0002] An air cooler is a heat dissipation device that uses air as the cooling medium. Its core function is to achieve heat exchange through forced or natural convection. A modular and detachable air cooler is a type of air-cooled heat dissipation device that adopts a modular design and supports flexible assembly and disassembly.

[0003] To prevent dust, metal shavings, and other debris from entering the air cooler and causing particulate matter accumulation that leads to decreased heat dissipation efficiency or mechanical wear, existing technologies install filters at the air inlet of the air cooler. However, these filters can become clogged over time, resulting in reduced airflow and decreased heat exchange performance. Therefore, it is necessary to design a modular, detachable air cooler. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular and detachable air cooler, which solves the problem in related technologies where the filter screen becomes clogged during use, leading to reduced airflow and decreased heat exchange performance.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A modular, detachable air cooler includes a fixed plate. A filter frame is welded to the center of the fixed plate, and an air-cooling frame is threaded onto one end of the filter frame away from the fixed plate. A protective cover is threaded onto the other end of the air-cooling frame. An outlet is provided at the center of the bottom of the filter frame. A support tube is provided in the center of the interior of the filter frame, and a drive rod is inserted into the interior of the support tube. A filter screen is screwed into the interior of the filter frame. One end of the drive rod passes through the filter screen and is screwed onto a movable plate. Several spring telescopic rods are screwed onto the movable plate at equal intervals. A scraper is provided on the exterior of the movable plate, and the other end of the spring telescopic rods is screwed and fixed to the scraper. The other end of the scraper is in contact with the outer wall of the filter screen. The outlet is located below the bottom of the scraper.

[0006] Preferably, a motor frame is welded inside the air-cooled frame, and a drive motor is screwed onto the motor frame. A coupling is screwed onto the output end of the drive motor, and the other end of the coupling is screwed and fixed to the other end of the drive rod. Fan blades are welded onto the output end of the drive motor.

[0007] Preferably, three pairs of reinforcing rods are welded at equal intervals on the outer wall of the support tube, and the other end of the reinforcing rods is screwed to the inner wall of the filter frame. A number of ball bearings are provided at equal intervals on the inner wall of the support tube, and the ball bearings are in contact with the outer wall of the drive rod.

[0008] Preferably, a protective mesh is screwed into the inside of the protective cover, and both the protective mesh and the filter mesh are made of stainless steel, with the filter mesh having a smaller aperture than the protective mesh.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing plate has first screw holes on all four sides.

[0010] Preferably, the outer walls of the filter frame are equipped with first connecting blocks via pivots, and the outer walls of the fixing plate are equipped with reinforcing plates, with second connecting blocks mounted on the reinforcing plates via pivots.

[0011] Preferably, a spring damping rod is screwed onto the first connecting block, and the telescopic end of the spring damping rod is screwed and fixed to the second connecting block.

[0012] Preferably, a pair of second screw holes are provided on both sides of the reinforcing plate.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The drive motor and coupling allow the drive rod to rotate while the fan blades are running. This rotation of the drive rod causes the movable plate to rotate, which in turn scrapes away debris filtered from the filter screen. As the scraper rotates, it pushes the debris to the discharge port for discharge. A spring-loaded telescopic rod ensures the scraper is tightly fitted to the filter screen, enhancing its cleaning effect. This method effectively cleans the filter screen, preventing clogging, increasing airflow, and ensuring the heat exchange performance of the equipment. Furthermore, the filter frame, air-cooling frame, and protective cover are all detachable for easy cleaning.

[0014] By driving the fan blades to rotate using a drive motor, suction is generated inside the filter frame, drawing heat outwards and achieving a cooling effect. Ball bearings reduce friction and energy loss when the drive rod rotates. A protective net covers the protective cover to prevent debris from entering the equipment and damaging the fan blades and other structures. Spring damping rods support the filter frame and improve vibration reduction during equipment operation. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment proposes a modular, detachable air cooler, including a fixed plate 1. A filter frame 2 is welded to the center of the fixed plate 1, and an air-cooling frame 3 is threaded onto one end of the filter frame 2 away from the fixed plate 1. A protective cover 4 is threaded onto the other end of the air-cooling frame 3. An outlet 5 is provided at the center of the bottom of the filter frame 2. A support tube 6 is provided in the center of the interior of the filter frame 2, and a drive rod 7 is inserted into the interior of the support tube 6. A filter screen 11 is screwed into the interior of the filter frame 2. One end of the drive rod 7 passes through the filter screen 11 and is screwed onto a movable plate 8. Several spring telescopic rods 9 are screwed onto the movable plate 8 at equal intervals. The exterior of the movable plate 8 is provided with... A scraper 10 is provided, and the other end of the spring telescopic rod 9 is screwed and fixed to the scraper 10. The other end of the scraper 10 is attached to the outer wall of the filter screen 11. The outlet 5 is located below the bottom of the scraper 10. A motor frame 12 is welded inside the air-cooled frame 3, and a drive motor 13 is screwed onto the motor frame 12. A coupling 14 is screwed onto the output end of the drive motor 13, and the other end of the coupling 14 is screwed and fixed to the other end of the drive rod 7. A fan blade 15 is welded to the output end of the drive motor 13. The drive motor 13 can drive the fan blade 15 to rotate. Under the action of the coupling 14, the drive rod 7 can be driven to rotate synchronously, supporting... Three pairs of reinforcing rods 16 are welded at equal intervals to the outer wall of the tube 6, and the other end of the reinforcing rods 16 is screwed to the inner wall of the filter frame 2. Several balls 17 are equally spaced on the inner wall of the support tube 6, and the balls 17 are in contact with the outer wall of the drive rod 7. The reinforcing rods 16 can be used to support and reinforce the support tube 6, and the balls 17 can reduce friction and reduce kinetic energy loss when the drive rod 7 rotates. A protective mesh 18 is screwed into the inside of the protective cover 4. Both the protective mesh 18 and the filter mesh 11 are made of stainless steel. The pore size of the filter mesh 11 is smaller than that of the protective mesh 18. The protective mesh 18 can be used to shield the protective cover 4 and prevent foreign objects from entering.
