Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of generator set mufflers, and in particular relates to a cooling component for generator set mufflers. Background Technology

[0002] The generator silencer is a core functional component in the generator noise control system. Its core function is to effectively block, absorb, and attenuate the high-intensity airflow noise generated during generator operation through its internal acoustic structure, thereby meeting environmental noise emission standards and occupational health and safety requirements in industrial sites.

[0003] The problem with existing technology is that when existing generator set mufflers are running, especially diesel generator sets, the mufflers not only bear the impact of high-speed airflow, but also generate significant heat due to the conversion of sound wave energy, causing the internal temperature to rise continuously. If this heat cannot be cooled down in time, the internal temperature of the muffler will rise. Excessive temperature will not only reduce the noise reduction performance of the muffler and affect its normal operation, but may also cause damage to the structural components of the muffler and shorten the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a cooling component for generator set mufflers, which has the advantages of efficient cooling, maintaining noise reduction performance, and extending equipment life. It solves the problem that when existing generator set mufflers are running, especially diesel generator sets, the mufflers not only bear the impact of high-speed airflow, but also generate significant heat due to the conversion of sound wave energy, causing the internal temperature to rise continuously. If this heat cannot be cooled in time, the internal temperature of the muffler will rise, and the excessively high temperature will not only reduce the noise reduction performance of the muffler and affect its normal operation, but may also damage the structural components of the muffler and shorten the service life of the equipment.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a cooling component for a generator muffler includes a muffler and two connecting ends. The connecting ends are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the muffler and communicate with the muffler. A cooling device is provided on the surface of the muffler. The cooling device includes a water cooling component, a storage and circulation component, and an auxiliary cleaning component.

[0006] The water-cooling component, as a preferred embodiment of this invention, is sleeved on the surface of the muffler and fixedly connected to the muffler. The storage and circulation component is located on the right side of the muffler, and the auxiliary cleaning component is located inside the storage and circulation component. By setting a cooling device on the surface of the muffler, the muffler is cooled down, effectively avoiding the problem of overheating damage and performance degradation of the equipment.

[0007] The preferred water-cooling assembly of this utility model includes a contact sleeve, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe. The contact sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the muffler and contacts the surface of the muffler, and is fixedly connected to the muffler. The inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper front end of the contact sleeve, and the outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the contact sleeve. Both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe communicate with the interior of the contact sleeve. By setting up the water-cooling assembly, heat is carried away by water circulation on the surface of the muffler, allowing the muffler to fully contact the contact sleeve. With the circulation design of the inlet and outlet pipes, the coolant flows directionally within the contact sleeve, quickly absorbing and carrying away the heat generated by the muffler during operation, significantly improving heat dissipation efficiency, and effectively preventing the muffler from degrading or being damaged due to overheating.

[0008] The preferred storage and circulation assembly of this utility model includes a tank, an inlet, a circulation port, and a water pump. The tank is located at the right end of the muffler and is fixedly connected to the surface of the contact sleeve. The inlet is fixedly connected to the lower end of the tank and communicates with the tank. There are two circulation ports, which are respectively fixedly connected to the lower sides of the front and rear ends of the tank and communicate with the tank. There are two water pumps, which are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the two circulation ports that are far apart from each other. The front water pump is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe, and the rear water pump is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe. By setting up the storage and circulation assembly, coolant is stored in the tank and driven by the water pump to circulate in the contact sleeve through the circulation port, the inlet pipe, and the outlet pipe, ensuring that the heat of the muffler is carried away in time. At the same time, the inlet facilitates the replenishment of coolant.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a filter plate is provided at the front end of the tank body. The filter plate is fixedly connected to the tank body and is used to filter the coolant injected into the tank body before it enters the water inlet pipe. This prevents a large number of impurities and large particles from entering the water inlet pipe, effectively preventing blockage of the water cooling component pipeline, reducing wear inside the contact sleeve, thereby ensuring smooth heat dissipation circulation, extending the overall service life of the cooling device, and improving the stability of heat dissipation efficiency.

[0010] The preferred auxiliary cleaning component of this utility model includes a rotating rod, a motor, connecting rods, and a square scraper. The rotating rod is disposed inside the tank, with its front end penetrating the filter plate and rotatably connected to the front end of the tank and the filter plate. The rear end of the rotating rod extends out of the tank and is rotatably connected to the tank. The motor is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating rod and to the rear surface of the tank. Two connecting rods are respectively sleeved on the front and rear ends of the rotating rod and fixedly connected to it. The square scraper is fixedly connected to both... The upper end of the connecting rod, the square scraper, contacts the inner wall of the tank and its front side contacts the filter plate. By setting an auxiliary cleaning component, it is used to scrape the inner wall of the tank and the filter plate, removing some impurities that are attached to the inner wall of the tank and the filter plate by the coolant before filtration. This facilitates the subsequent cleaning of the tank. Scraping the inner wall of the tank and the filter plate can remove impurities and flocculent matter attached to the coolant after filtration in a timely manner, preventing them from accumulating for a long time and affecting the filtration effect or clogging the pipeline. At the same time, it simplifies the manual cleaning process and ensures the continuous and efficient operation of the storage and circulation components.

[0011] The square scraper, preferably made of rubber, can be made of rubber by taking advantage of the elasticity of rubber to make it fit tightly against the inner wall of the tank and the filter plate. When scraping impurities, it can effectively remove the attached dirt and avoid damage to the tank or filter plate caused by the scraping of metal materials. At the same time, it reduces the noise during the scraping process and improves the reliability and service life of the auxiliary cleaning components.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model solves the problem of existing generator set mufflers, especially diesel generator sets, not only being subjected to the impact of high-speed airflow during equipment operation, but also generating significant heat due to the conversion of sound wave energy, leading to a continuous rise in internal temperature. If this heat cannot be cooled in time, the internal temperature of the muffler will rise. Excessive temperature will not only reduce the noise reduction performance of the muffler and affect its normal operation, but may also damage the structural components of the muffler and shorten the service life of the equipment.

[0019] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a cooling component for a generator muffler, including a muffler 1 and a connecting end 2. There are two connecting ends 2, which are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the muffler 1 and communicate with the muffler 1. A cooling device 3 is provided on the surface of the muffler 1. The cooling device 3 includes a water cooling component 31, a storage and circulation component 32 and an auxiliary cleaning component 33.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 The water-cooling component 31 is fitted onto the surface of the muffler 1 and is fixedly connected to the muffler 1. The storage circulation component 32 is located on the right side of the muffler 1, and the auxiliary cleaning component 33 is located inside the storage circulation component 32.

[0023] The above solution involves installing a cooling device 3 on the surface of the muffler 1 to cool it down, effectively preventing damage and performance degradation caused by overheating.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The water-cooling assembly 31 includes a contact sleeve 311, a water inlet pipe 312, and a water outlet pipe 313. The contact sleeve 311 is sleeved on the surface of the muffler 1 and contacts the surface of the muffler 1 and is fixedly connected to the muffler 1. The water inlet pipe 312 is fixedly connected to the upper front end of the contact sleeve 311, and the water outlet pipe 313 is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the contact sleeve 311. Both the water inlet pipe 312 and the water outlet pipe 313 are interconnected with the interior of the contact sleeve 311.

[0025] The above solution involves setting up a water-cooling component 31, which is fitted onto the surface of the muffler 1 to remove heat through water circulation. This allows the muffler 1 to make full contact with the contact sleeve 311. With the help of the circulation design of the inlet pipe 312 and the outlet pipe 313, the coolant flows directionally within the contact sleeve 311, quickly absorbing and removing the heat generated by the muffler 1 during operation. This significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency and effectively prevents the muffler 1 from experiencing performance degradation or damage due to overheating.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage and circulation assembly 32 includes a tank 321, an inlet 322, a circulation port 323, and a water pump 324. The tank 321 is located at the right end of the silencer 1 and is fixedly connected to the surface of the contact sleeve 311. The inlet 322 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the tank 321 and communicates with the tank 321. There are two circulation ports 323, which are fixedly connected to the lower sides of the front and rear ends of the tank 321 respectively and communicate with the tank 321. There are two water pumps 324, which are fixedly connected to the ends of the two circulation ports 323 that are far apart from each other. The front water pump 324 is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 312, and the rear water pump 324 is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe 313.

[0027] The above solution is adopted: by setting up a storage circulation component 32, the coolant is stored in the tank 321 and driven by the water pump 324 to circulate in the contact sleeve 311 through the circulation port 323, the inlet pipe 312 and the outlet pipe 313, so as to ensure that the heat of the muffler 1 is carried away in time, while the injection port 322 facilitates the replenishment of coolant.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 A filter plate 4 is provided at the front end of the tank body 321, and the filter plate 4 is fixedly connected to the tank body 321.

[0029] The above solution is used to filter the coolant injected into the tank 321 before it enters the water inlet pipe 312, so as to prevent a large number of impurities and large particles from entering the water inlet pipe 312. This can effectively prevent the water cooling component 31 from being blocked, reduce the wear inside the contact sleeve 311, thereby ensuring the smoothness of heat dissipation circulation, extending the overall service life of the cooling device 3 and improving the stability of heat dissipation efficiency.

[0030] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The auxiliary cleaning component 33 includes a rotating rod 331, a motor 332, a connecting rod 333, and a square scraper 334. The rotating rod 331 is located inside the tank 321, and its front end passes through the filter plate 4 and is rotatably connected to the front end inside the tank 321 and to the filter plate 4. The rear end of the rotating rod 331 extends out of the tank 321 and is rotatably connected to the tank 321. The motor 332 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating rod 331 and is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the tank 321. There are two connecting rods 333, which are respectively sleeved on the front and rear end surfaces of the rotating rod 331 and fixedly connected to the rotating rod 331. The square scraper 334 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the two connecting rods 333. The square scraper 334 contacts the inner wall of the tank 321 and its front side contacts the filter plate 4.

[0031] The above solution involves setting up an auxiliary cleaning component 33 to scrape the inner wall of the tank 321 and the filter plate 4. This scrapes off impurities that were attached to the inner wall of the tank 321 and the filter plate 4 by the coolant before filtration, facilitating subsequent cleaning of the tank 321. Scraping the inner wall of the tank 321 and the filter plate 4 can promptly remove impurities and flocculent matter attached to the coolant after filtration, preventing them from accumulating for a long time and affecting the filtration effect or clogging the pipeline. At the same time, it simplifies the manual cleaning process and ensures the continuous and efficient operation of the storage and circulation component 32.

[0032] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The square scraper 334 is made of rubber.

[0033] The above solution is adopted: by setting the square scraper 334 to a rubber material, the elastic properties of rubber can be used to make it fit tightly against the inner wall of the tank 321 and the filter plate 4. When scraping impurities, it can effectively remove the attached dirt, avoid damage to the tank 321 or filter plate 4 caused by metal scraping, reduce noise during the scraping process, and improve the reliability and service life of the auxiliary cleaning component 33.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model:

[0035] In use, the inlet 322 is connected to a water source, and coolant is injected into the tank 321. The contact sleeve 311 of the water-cooling assembly 31 is tightly fitted onto the surface of the muffler 1 and fixed. The heat generated by the muffler 1 during operation is conducted to the internal coolant through the contact sleeve 311. Then, the front water pump 324 is started, driving the coolant from the front circulation port 323 of the tank 321 to be pumped into the upper front side of the contact sleeve 311 through the inlet pipe 312. The coolant flows from the upper front side to the lower rear side within the contact sleeve 311, absorbing heat. The rear water pump 324 starts, pumping the heated coolant from the outlet pipe 313 at the lower rear end of the contact sleeve 311 back to the circulation port 323 at the rear end of the tank 321, forming a closed circulation flow of coolant between the contact sleeve 311 and the tank 321. The coolant returning to the tank 321 and the coolant that has just been injected into the tank 321 from the inlet 322 will first pass through the filter plate 4 at the front end inside the tank 321 to intercept impurities and large particulate pollutants, preventing them from entering the inlet pipe 312 and clogging the pipe or wearing out the contact sleeve 311.

[0036] During the cleaning process, the motor 332 of the auxiliary cleaning component 33 drives the rotating rod 331 to rotate. The rotating rod 331 drives the square scraper 334 to rotate synchronously through the connecting rod 333. The rubber scraper is in close contact with the inner wall of the tank 321 and the surface of the filter plate 4, scraping the attached impurities and flocculent matter to the bottom of the tank 321, so that it can be discharged through the injection port 322 later.

[0037] In summary, the cooling component for this generator set muffler, through the coordinated use of a muffler 1, connecting end 2, cooling device 3, water cooling component 31, contact sleeve 311, water inlet pipe 312, water outlet pipe 313, storage and circulation component 32, tank 321, injection port 322, circulation port 323, water pump 324, auxiliary cleaning component 33, rotating rod 331, motor 332, connecting rod 333, square scraper 334, and filter plate 4, solves the problem that existing generator set mufflers, especially diesel generator sets, not only withstand the impact of high-speed airflow during equipment operation but also generate significant heat due to the conversion of sound wave energy, leading to a continuous rise in internal temperature. If this heat cannot be cooled in time, the internal temperature of the muffler will rise, which will not only reduce the noise reduction performance of the muffler and affect its normal operation but may also damage the structural components of the muffler and shorten the service life of the equipment.
