Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chiller technology, and in particular to a novel air-cooled chiller. Background Technology

[0002] A chiller is a refrigeration device. In the refrigeration industry, chillers are mainly divided into two types: air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers. According to the type of compressor, they can also be divided into screw chillers, scroll chillers, centrifugal chillers, etc. The working principle of a chiller is based on the reverse Carnot cycle. Through the four main components of the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator, the refrigerant undergoes phase change and circulation within the system, thereby achieving the purpose of refrigeration.

[0003] Air-cooled chiller units are widely used in many fields due to their high efficiency, energy saving, stability and reliability. They do not require a cooling tower, which can save a lot of building space and has relatively low management and maintenance costs.

[0004] In current practical use, if the outdoor environment is too hot or there is too much dust and debris in the air, it will affect the heat dissipation effect of the unit. Dust screens are installed on the outside of the chiller to trap dust and debris in the air. Dust can easily clog the openings of the dust screen, affecting the ventilation effect of the dust screen, and it can easily enter the chiller when cleaning. Therefore, a new type of air-cooled chiller is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel air-cooled chiller unit, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A novel air-cooled chiller unit includes a chiller housing and fans symmetrically installed at the top of the chiller housing. A strip frame is symmetrically installed through the chiller housing near the top. Each strip frame has a strip plate at its bottom outside the chiller housing. A cleaning cotton is installed on the side of each strip plate adjacent to the chiller housing. A connecting slide plate is installed at the top of each strip plate. The top of each connecting slide plate extends into the interior of the strip frame, and a connecting plate is installed on one side of the connecting slide plate inside the strip frame. A connecting rod rotatably connected to each connecting plate is provided through the connecting plate.

[0007] Each connecting rod has a cleaning roller installed at its bottom extending to the outside of the strip frame, and a gear installed at its top end extending to the inside of the strip frame. Multiple toothed blocks are horizontally arrayed at the top end of one side of each strip frame.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, each of the cleaning rollers is provided with a ring array of cleaning brushes on its surface, the bottom of each connecting plate is in contact with the bottom of the inner side of the strip frame, and each gear meshes with a toothed block.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, each of the strip frames is provided with a first sliding groove adapted to the connecting slide plate at the bottom of the outer side of the chiller housing, and each of the strip frames is provided with a second sliding groove adapted to the connecting rod at the bottom of the inner side of the chiller housing.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, heat dissipation vents are symmetrically arranged on the chiller housing below the strip frame, and a dustproof net is installed at each heat dissipation vent. The surface of the dustproof net is uniformly provided with openings of the same size, and the cleaning brush installed on the surface of the cleaning roller is adapted to the opening.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a push handle is installed in the middle of the outer side of each strip plate, and each strip plate is slidably connected to the strip frame through a connecting slide plate.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, each of the fans is provided with a fan cover, a connecting column is installed at the middle position of each fan cover, a connecting strip is rotatably connected to each connecting column, and a cleaning brush is provided at the bottom of each connecting strip.

[0013] This utility model provides a novel air-cooled chiller unit, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0014] This design introduces a novel air-cooled chiller unit. Through the cooperation of a strip plate and a connecting slide plate, simply pulling the strip plate causes the connecting slide plate and the connecting plate to slide on the strip frame. Utilizing the meshing of gears and teeth, the connecting rod rotates, which in turn drives the cleaning roller to rotate. The cleaning brushes on the rotating surface of the cleaning roller engage with the openings in the dustproof mesh, pushing the dust clogging the openings outwards. Simultaneously, the cleaning cotton on the strip plate scrapes off the pushed-out dust. This design cleans the dustproof mesh while preventing the scraped-off dust from clogging the openings, keeping the openings clear and not affecting the heat dissipation effect.

Detailed Implementation

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a novel air-cooled chiller unit technical solution, including a chiller housing 1 and fans 2 symmetrically installed at the top of the chiller housing 1. A strip frame 6 is symmetrically installed through the chiller housing 1 near the top. Each strip frame 6 has a strip plate 7 at its bottom outside the chiller housing 1. A cleaning cotton 8 is installed on the side of each strip plate 7 adjacent to the chiller housing 1. The cleaning cotton 8 is made of a material suitable for cleaning small mesh openings, such as electrostatic cotton or physical filter cotton. A connecting slide plate 14 is installed at the top of each strip plate 7. The top of the connecting slide plate 14 extends into the interior of the strip frame 6. A push handle 9 is installed in the middle of the outer side of each strip plate 7. Each strip plate 7 is slidably connected to the strip frame 6 via the connecting slide plate 14. A connecting plate 15 is installed on one side of the connecting slide plate 14 inside the strip frame 6. A connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to each connecting plate 15. When the connecting plate 15 slides inside the strip frame 6, it drives the connecting rod 10 to slide together and limits the connecting rod 10. The connecting rod 10 can also rotate on the connecting plate 15 while sliding inside the strip frame 6.

[0022] Each connecting rod 10 has a cleaning roller 11 installed at its bottom extending to the outside of the strip frame 6. Each connecting rod 10 has a gear 12 installed at its top extending to the inside of the strip frame 6. Multiple toothed blocks 13 are horizontally arrayed on one side of the top of each strip frame 6. Cleaning brushes are arranged in a circular array on the surface of each cleaning roller 11. The bottom of each connecting plate 15 is in contact with the bottom of the inside of the strip frame 6. Each gear 12 meshes with a toothed block 13. Each strip frame 6 has a first groove at its bottom outside the chiller housing 1 that matches the connecting slide plate 14. Each strip frame 6, located at the bottom inner side of the chiller housing 1, is equipped with a second sliding groove that matches the connecting rod 10. When the push handle 9 is held and the strip plate 7 is pushed, the connecting slide plate 14 slides within the strip frame 6. The gear 13 meshes with the tooth block 12 and rotates, thereby driving the connecting rod 10 to rotate. The connecting rod 10 rotates as the connecting plate 15 moves on the strip frame 6, causing the cleaning roller 11 to contact the dustproof net 5. The cleaning brush on the cleaning roller 11 inserts into the opening on the dustproof net 5, pushing out the dust blocking the opening of the dustproof net 5. At the same time, the cleaning cotton 8 cleans the dust.

[0023] The chiller housing 1 is symmetrically provided with heat dissipation vents 4 below the strip frame 6. Each heat dissipation vent 4 is equipped with a dustproof net 5. The heat dissipation vents 4 allow the heat inside the chiller housing 1 to dissipate, while the dustproof net 5 traps dust particles in the air. The surface of the dustproof net 5 is evenly provided with openings of the same size. The cleaning brush installed on the surface of the cleaning roller 11 is adapted to the opening. Each fan 2 is provided with a fan cover 3. Each fan cover 3 is provided with a connecting post 16 in the middle. Each connecting post 16 is rotatably connected to a connecting strip 17. Each connecting strip 17 is provided with a cleaning brush 18 at its bottom. The rotatable connection between the connecting strip 17 and the connecting post 16 has a moving friction force. By rotating the connecting strip 17, the cleaning brush 18 scrapes off the dust accumulated on the surface of the fan cover 3. The scraped dust is then blown away with a blower tool to clean the fan cover 3.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When a large amount of dust particles are trapped and accumulated on the surface of the dustproof net 5, the push handle 9 is held and pulled. The strip plate 7 slides at the bottom of the strip frame 6, and the connecting slide plate 14 slides inside the strip frame 6, simultaneously driving the connecting plate 15 to slide together. The connecting plate 15 drives the connecting rod 10 to slide inside the strip frame 6. The gear 12 at the top of the connecting rod 10 meshes with the tooth block 13 and rotates, thereby driving the connecting rod 10 to rotate. The cleaning roller 11 at the bottom of the connecting rod 10 rotates together, and the cleaning brush on the cleaning roller 11 rotates with the dustproof net 5. The openings on the dustproof mesh 5 are connected to push out the dust particles that have accumulated and blocked the openings of the dustproof mesh 5. At the same time, the cleaning cotton 8 on the strip plate 7 scrapes off the dust particles and cleans them, keeping the openings of the dustproof mesh 5 unobstructed. While trapping dust, it does not affect the heat dissipation effect. Rotate the connecting strip 17 and the cleaning brush 18 scrapes off the dust accumulated on the surface of the fan cover 3. Use a blower to blow away the scraped dust and clean the fan cover 3. When the strip plate 7 is not needed for cleaning, the strip plate 7 is placed at one end of the strip frame 6 against the side, so as not to block the heat dissipation vent 4.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
