Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities, and more specifically, to a hot water cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Boiling tap water effectively kills harmful microorganisms, and people often drink boiled tap water. However, boiled tap water must be cooled before drinking; otherwise, it will affect the taste and may even cause burns to the digestive tract. At room temperature, boiling water cools down slowly on its own. Cooling can be accelerated by using a coolant for heat exchange. Currently, common daily-use heat exchange type hot water cooling devices have the following disadvantages: 1. The coolant cannot be circulated. These devices simply pass hot water through the coolant, causing the coolant temperature to rise continuously, thus affecting the cooling effect; 2. The coolant cannot be reused. Using pressurized coolants such as tap water, the coolant is discharged after operation, resulting in waste; 3. The coolant relies on external power sources such as water pumps for circulation, requiring additional energy and having a complex structure. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a hot water cooling device that relies on the gravity flow of the coolant for cooling, allows for the recycling of the coolant, has a simple structure, and is easy to operate.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a hot water cooling device is provided, comprising: a cooling chamber, which is a cylindrical hollow container symmetrically arranged vertically, having a water channel A and an air channel A on one end face, and a water channel B and an air channel B on the other end face, and a water pipe mounting hole on its side; a tank A, which is a sealed container and is detachably and securely installed on one end face of the cooling chamber; a tank B, which is a sealed container and is detachably and securely installed on the other end face of the cooling chamber; a heat exchange tube, which is a hollow sealed tube made of thermally conductive material, located inside the cooling chamber, with both ends sealed and secured in mounting holes on the side of the cooling chamber; a water inlet pipe, which is fixedly installed at one end of the heat exchange tube; and a water outlet pipe, which is fixedly installed at the other end of the heat exchange tube.

[0005] Furthermore, the A and B water channels are tubular and extend a certain length into the cooling chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, the A and B air passages are tubular, extending a certain length outward from the cooling chamber, and each has a unidirectional conduction mechanism inside, which is open when placed upward and closed when placed downward.

[0007] Furthermore, the unidirectional conduction mechanism includes: a conduction tube, one end of which is a cylindrical tube and the other end is a conical tube, which is fixedly installed inside airway A and airway B; and a gravity ball, which is made of stainless steel or glass, has a smooth spherical surface, and its diameter is between the inner diameters of the two outlets of the conduction tube, and can be axially movable inside the conduction tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the heat exchange tube has a spiral winding structure inside the cooling chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, both tank A and tank B are made of thermally conductive material.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the coolant flows from the upper tank into the cooling chamber, exchanges heat with the hot water, and then overflows from the upper part of the cooling chamber into the lower tank, ensuring that the coolant in the cooling chamber is always at a low temperature, resulting in high cooling efficiency; when the device is inverted 180°, the lower tank storing the coolant becomes the upper tank, and the coolant therein gains gravitational potential energy and can flow out by its own gravity, resulting in a simple structure that is energy-saving and reliable; the coolant heated after operation flows into the lower tank for storage, and after cooling, it can be recycled by inverting the device again, making it green and low-consumption.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0017] See appendix Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the hot water cooling device includes: a cooling chamber 1, which is a cylindrical hollow container with symmetrical upper and lower sides, having a water channel 11 and an air channel 12 on one end face, and a water channel 13 and an air channel 14 on the other end face, and a water pipe mounting hole on its side; a tank body 2, which is a sealed container made of thermally conductive material, and is detachably and fixedly installed on one end face of the cooling chamber 1; a tank body 3, which is a sealed container made of thermally conductive material, and is detachably and fixedly installed on the other end face of the cooling chamber 1; a heat exchange tube 4, which is a hollow sealed tube made of thermally conductive material, located inside the cooling chamber 1, and its two ends are sealed and fixedly installed in the mounting holes on the side of the cooling chamber 1; a water inlet pipe 5, which is fixedly installed on one end of the heat exchange tube 4; and a water outlet pipe 6, which is fixedly installed on the other end of the heat exchange tube 4.

[0018] See appendix Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, water channel A 11 and water channel B 13 are tubular and extend a certain length toward the interior of cooling chamber 1; air channel A 12 and air channel B 14 are tubular and extend a certain length toward the exterior of cooling chamber 1, each having a unidirectional conduction mechanism 15 inside, which is open when placed upwards and closed when placed downwards.

[0019] See appendix Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the unidirectional conduction mechanism 15 includes: a conduction tube 151, one end of which is a cylindrical tube and the other end is a conical tube, which is fixedly installed inside the A airway 12 and the B airway 14; and a gravity ball 152, which is made of stainless steel or glass, has a smooth spherical surface, and its diameter is between the inner diameters of the two outlets of the conduction tube 151, and can be axially movably installed inside the conduction tube 151.

[0020] See appendix Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the heat exchange tube 4 has a spiral winding structure inside the cooling chamber 1.

[0021] Specific usage and working principle: Before use, the hot water cooling device of this utility model is filled with tap water or other coolant in tank A, and the inlet pipe is connected to the hot water source and the outlet pipe is connected to the collection container. Then, the entire device is inverted 180° so that tank A filled with coolant is at the top. At this time, the coolant flows into the cooling chamber through water channel A under the action of gravity. The coolant gradually submerges the heat exchange tubes, and when the liquid level reaches the height of water channel B, it overflows into tank B. The air in tank B flows into tank A through water channel B and air channel A. At this time, water channel B is closed under the action of the one-way conduction mechanism to prevent coolant from directly entering tank B through it. When hot water flows into the heat exchange tube through the inlet pipe, it exchanges heat with the surrounding coolant. The hot water temperature decreases, while the coolant temperature increases. The cooled hot water flows out through the outlet pipe, while the heated coolant overflows into tank B with the water flow in the cooling chamber. The low-temperature coolant in tank A continuously replenishes the cooling chamber, ensuring that the cooling chamber always maintains a low-temperature coolant level. The high-temperature coolant flowing into tank B, after natural cooling, can be reused in the next working cycle by inverting the entire device again.
