The end of each pair of first positioning protrusions 13 away from the opening of the main housing 11 is in contact with the partition plate mounting bracket 14. When reinstalling the first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23, the first positioning protrusions 13 can be used to quickly position the first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23.

[0026] Workflow: This device is an auxiliary equipment used in conjunction with wind power systems. Due to the harsh working environment, all components of this device are coated with an anti-corrosion coating. Before use, the device is installed on the parts of the wind power system that require cooling. This device needs to be used with a liquid pump and a fan. The liquid pump is connected to the side sealing cap 15 on the left side of the main housing 11 via a liquid delivery pipe. The liquid pump and the side sealing cap 15 on the right side of the main housing 11 are connected to the coolant storage device via a liquid delivery pipe. The fan is connected to the upper opening on the left half of the main housing 11 via a ventilation pipe. The fan and the upper opening on the right half of the main housing 11 are connected to the outer casing of the wind power equipment that needs cooling via a ventilation pipe. The installation of this device can be completed by using a liquid pump to draw coolant from the coolant storage device and transporting it from the side sealing cover 15 on the left side of the main housing 11 to the distribution chamber formed by the side sealing cover 15 and the second partition plate body 23. The coolant disperses into multiple cooling medium guide pipes 31 and flows from left to right into the confluence chamber formed by the side sealing cover 15 and the first partition plate body 22 on the right side of the main housing 11, and then flows back into the coolant storage device. At the same time, a fan draws air out from inside the wind power equipment that needs to be cooled, and transports hot air into the main housing 11 from the upper opening of the right half of the main housing 11. The hot air is turbulent by the baffle body 21. The air flows from right to left within the space formed by the main housing 11 and the side sealing caps 15. The hot air comes into full contact with the cooling medium guide pipe 31, allowing heat exchange with the coolant inside the pipe. The cooled air then flows back through the upper opening on the left side of the main housing 11 to the wind turbine equipment requiring cooling, thus completing the cooling process. When the device malfunctions and requires maintenance, the operator can remove the side sealing caps 15 on both sides of the main housing 11 and remove the first sealing ring 16. Then, unscrew the second threaded sleeve 36 at the left end of the cooling medium guide pipe 31 and remove the fourth sealing ring 35. Finally, unscrew the first threaded sleeve 36 at the right end of the cooling medium guide pipe 31. After removing the threaded sleeve 34 and the third sealing ring 33, the cooling medium guide pipe 31 can be pulled out to the right for inspection or replacement. When reinstalling the cooling medium guide pipe 31, it can be quickly positioned using the second positioning protrusion 32, allowing for rapid installation. After removing all the cooling medium guide pipes 31, the limiting effect of the cooling medium guide pipes 31 on the baffle body 21, the first partition plate body 22, and the second partition plate body 23 is released. Workers can then remove the first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23 from the partition plate mounting bracket 14 and remove the second sealing ring 24.Then, the spoiler body 21 is pulled out from the spoiler limiting frame 12 and removed. The spoiler body 21, the first partition plate body 22, and the second partition plate body 23 are then inspected or replaced. When reinstalling the first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23, the first positioning protrusion 13 can be used to quickly position the first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23, thus enabling rapid installation. This device can quickly position the first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23 using the first positioning protrusion 13. The first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23 are quickly installed onto the partition plate mounting bracket 14. Simultaneously, the spoiler plate body 21 is positioned and stably fixed by the spoiler plate limiting frame 12 in conjunction with the cooling medium guide pipe 31. The cooling medium guide pipe 31 is quickly positioned by the second positioning protrusion 32. The cooling medium guide pipe 31 is then installed onto the first partition plate body 22 and the second partition plate body 23 using the first threaded sleeve 34 and the second threaded sleeve 36. This device allows for modular assembly and disassembly. In case of problems with the sealing structure, damaged components can be quickly disassembled and replaced at a low cost.
