Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radiator technology, specifically a radiator that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of refrigeration equipment, the function of a radiator is to release the heat carried by the refrigerant to the external environment. If the surface of the radiator is covered with dust, a thermal resistance layer will be formed, which will hinder heat conduction and reduce the effect. Therefore, a radiator that is easy to clean is needed.

[0003] A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN113028878A discloses a radiator that facilitates cleaning of heat dissipation fins. The radiator includes a dual-output shaft motor. A rotating shaft is located on the upper side of the dual-output shaft motor, and a support frame is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft. A drive gear is fixedly connected to one side of the main shaft of the dual-output shaft motor, and the inner side of the driven gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. Brush bristles are evenly fixedly connected to the outer side of the right end of the rotating shaft. A transmission gear is fixedly connected to the other end of the main shaft of the dual-output shaft motor, and a rack meshes with the rear side of the transmission gear. This invention not only effectively cleans the heat dissipation fins but also facilitates washing and cleaning by rainwater during rain, ensuring thorough cleaning of the heat dissipation fins and enhancing the heat dissipation effect.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned radiator still has some problems. In practical applications, the heat sink is fixed to the radiator body, which makes it inconvenient to perform deep cleaning of the gaps between the dense heat sinks. It is necessary to remove all the heat sinks, which reduces the cleaning effect of the radiator. Therefore, a radiator that is easy to clean is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model proposes a radiator that is easy to clean.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The utility model provides a radiator that is easy to clean, comprising a radiator body. Four mounting slots are equidistantly spaced inside the radiator body. Sliding grooves are formed on both sides of each mounting slot. Sliding blocks are slidably mounted inside the sliding grooves. A mounting frame is installed between the sliding blocks. Eight heat dissipation fins are equidistantly mounted on both sides of the mounting frame. Four outlets are equidistantly spaced on the top side of the radiator body. Each outlet communicates with one of the mounting slots. Two limiting holes are formed on one side of each outlet, penetrating the radiator body. A limiting rod is slidably installed inside the hole. A connecting plate is installed at one end of the limiting rod. Both ends of the connecting plate are fixed to the radiator body with return springs. The return springs are sleeved on the outside of the limiting rods. The return springs have low elasticity, which makes it easy to remove the severely blocked radiator core for cleaning. After cleaning, the mounting frame is installed back into the mounting slot through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the slider. The connecting plate is released, and the limiting rod is reset under the action of the return spring, thus limiting the mounting frame again. This simplifies the radiator cleaning process, improves cleaning efficiency, and avoids the trouble caused by disassembling the entire radiator.

[0007] Preferably, each of the mounting frames is equipped with a handle on its top side, with a limiting rod on one side of each removal outlet located on both sides of the handle. When the mounting frame needs to be removed for cleaning, the operator can easily pull the mounting frame out of the mounting slot by applying force through the handle.

[0008] Preferably, a base is installed directly below the radiator body, and the base is installed at the radiator installation position in the refrigeration equipment, providing a stable installation foundation for the radiator body.

[0009] Preferably, a sleeve is installed on the bottom inner wall of the base, and a compression spring is fixedly connected to the bottom inside of the sleeve. A damping rod is installed at the top of the compression spring. The top of the damping rod extends through to the top of the sleeve and is fixed to both ends of the bottom side of the radiator body. The compression spring can absorb and release energy, and the damping rod can dissipate vibration energy, allowing the radiator body to shake slightly, which helps to shake off the dust attached to the heat sink, achieve a certain degree of self-cleaning function, and reduce the impact of dust accumulation on the heat dissipation effect.

[0010] Preferably, the base has two symmetrical rectangular slots on its bottom side. Two guide rods are fixed between the two sides of each rectangular slot. Movable seats are slidably mounted on the outer sides of the guide rods inside the rectangular slots. Two tension springs are symmetrically fixed between one side of each movable seat and the rectangular slot. The tension springs are respectively sleeved on the outer sides of the guide rods. Connecting plates are installed inside each movable seat via pins. Two mounting seats are symmetrically mounted on the bottom side of the radiator body. One end of each connecting plate is installed inside the mounting seat via pins. When the fan starts and stops, the airflow impact causes the radiator body to shake. The shaking of the radiator body is transmitted to the movable seats through the connecting plates. The movable seats slide on the guide rods and stretch the tension springs. The elastic restoring force of the tension springs causes the movable seats to move in the opposite direction, thereby causing the radiator body to reciprocate. This reciprocating shaking can better shake off the dust between the heat sink fins, further enhancing the radiator's self-cleaning ability.

[0011] Preferably, when the limiting rod passes through the top of the outlet, its bottom arc surface contacts the top side of the mounting frame. After assembly, it can better limit the mounting frame and prevent it from shaking or falling out due to vibration or other factors during normal use of the radiator, thus ensuring the stability of the heat sink core.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The heat dissipation core of this utility model is composed of a mounting frame and heat dissipation fins. When it is necessary to clean the heat dissipation core inside a certain mounting slot, the worker pulls the connecting plate outward to overcome the elastic force of the return spring, so that the limit rod is disengaged from the top surface of the mounting frame. The mounting frame is then lifted vertically upward by the handle, and the slider slides along the slide groove to the removal port. This makes it easy to remove the severely blocked heat dissipation core for cleaning, avoiding the tedious steps of disassembling the entire heat dissipation unit.

[0014] 2. When the fan stops, the airflow disappears, and the reaction force of the tension spring and compression spring pulls the movable seat to slide in the opposite direction. The movable seat drives the heat sink body to move downward through the connecting plate, forming a reciprocating sway. The reciprocating sway of the heat sink body causes the heat sink fins to generate inertial force. The attached dust particles fall off due to uneven force, realizing the self-cleaning operation of the heat sink body and reducing the impact of dust accumulation on the heat dissipation effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a radiator that is easy to clean includes a radiator body 1. The radiator body 1 has four equidistant mounting slots 2 inside. Each mounting slot 2 has a sliding groove 3 on both sides. A slider 4 is slidably mounted inside the sliding groove 3. A mounting frame 5 is mounted between the sliders 4. Eight heat sink fins 6 are equidistantly mounted between the two sides of the mounting frame 5. The top side of the radiator body 1 has four outlets 10 equidistantly located. Each outlet 10 communicates with a mounting slot 2. Two limiting holes are opened through each outlet 10 on one side of the radiator body 1. Limiting rods 7 are slidably mounted inside the limiting holes. A connecting plate 8 is mounted at one end of each limiting rod 7. Return springs 9 are fixed between both ends of the connecting plate 8 and the radiator body 1. The return springs 9 are sleeved on the outside of the limiting rods 7 and have low elasticity.

[0024] Each of the mounting frames 5 is equipped with a handle 11 on its top side, and the limiting rod 7 on one side of each outlet 10 is located on both sides of the handle 11.

[0025] When the limiting rod 7 passes through the top of the outlet 10, its bottom arc surface contacts the top side of the mounting frame 5. During operation, in practical applications, the heat sink 6 is fixed to the radiator body 1, making it inconvenient to perform deep cleaning of the dense gaps between the heat sink 6. It is necessary to remove all the heat sink 6, reducing the cleaning effect on the radiator. The heat sink core is composed of the mounting frame 5 and the heat sink 6. When cleaning the heat sink core inside a certain mounting slot 2, the operator pulls the connecting plate 8 outwards to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 9, causing the limiting rod 7 to disengage from the top surface of the mounting frame 5. Pull the mounting frame 5 vertically upward with handle 11. The slider 4 slides along the slide groove 3 to the outlet 10, which makes it easy to remove the severely blocked heat sink core for cleaning. It can also be used to rinse or blow clean the heat sink 6 separately, avoiding the tedious steps of disassembling the entire heat sink. During installation, align the slider 4 of the mounting frame 5 with the slide groove 3 and push it vertically downward into the mounting groove 2 along the outlet 10. Release the connecting plate 8, and the return spring 9 pushes the limit rod 7 to reset. Its arc design guides the limit rod 7 to slide smoothly over the top surface of the mounting frame 5 and lock it in place, completing the quick locking and ensuring the stability of the heat sink core.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , 5 As shown, a base 12 is installed directly below the radiator body 1, and the base 12 is installed at the radiator installation position in the refrigeration equipment.

[0027] Each of the base 12 has a sleeve 13 installed on its bottom inner wall. Each of the sleeves 13 has a compression spring 14 fixedly connected inside its bottom side. Each compression spring 14 has a damping rod 15 installed at its top end. The top end of the damping rod 15 extends through to the top side of the sleeve 13 and is fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom side of the radiator body 1.

[0028] Two rectangular slots 16 are symmetrically formed inside the bottom side of the base 12. Two guide rods 17 are fixedly connected between the two sides of each rectangular slot 16. Movable seats 18 are slidably mounted on the outer sides of the guide rods 17 inside the rectangular slots 16. Two tension springs 19 are symmetrically fixed between one side of each movable seat 18 and the rectangular slot 16. The tension springs 19 are respectively sleeved on the outer sides of the guide rods 17. Connecting plates 20 are installed inside each movable seat 18 via pins. Two mounting seats 21 are symmetrically mounted on the bottom side of the radiator body 1. One end of each connecting plate 20 is installed inside the mounting seat 21 via pins. During operation, in the field of refrigeration equipment, the function of the radiator is to release the heat carried by the refrigerant to the external environment. If the surface of the heat sink 6 is covered with dust, a thermal resistance layer will form, hindering heat conduction and reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to... An easy-to-clean radiator is used. When the fan is turned on, the airflow instantly impacts the radiator body 1, causing it to move upward. The mounting base 21 drives the connecting plate 20 to rotate via a pin. The connecting plate 20 pushes the movable seat 18 to slide along the guide rod 17 and compresses the tension spring 19. The elastic restoring force of the tension spring 19 balances the impact force of the airflow, keeping the movable seat 18 in a relatively stable position. At the same time, the compression spring 14 is stretched, and the damping rod 15 moves upward. When the fan stops, the airflow disappears, and the reaction force of the tension spring 19 and the compression spring 14 pulls the movable seat 18 to slide in the opposite direction. The movable seat 18 drives the radiator body 1 to move downward via the connecting plate 20, forming a reciprocating sway. The reciprocating sway of the radiator body 1 causes the heat sink 6 to generate inertial force. The attached dust particles fall off due to uneven force, realizing the self-cleaning operation of the radiator body 1 and reducing the impact of dust accumulation on the heat dissipation effect.

[0029] Working principle: When the fan is turned on, the airflow instantly impacts the radiator body 1, causing an upward displacement. The mounting base 21 drives the connecting plate 20 to rotate via the pin. The connecting plate 20 pushes the movable seat 18 to slide along the guide rod 17 and compresses the tension spring 19. The elastic restoring force of the tension spring 19 balances the impact force of the airflow, keeping the movable seat 18 in a relatively stable position. At the same time, the compression spring 14 is stretched, and the damping rod 15 moves upward. When the fan stops, the airflow disappears, and the reaction force of the tension spring 19 and the compression spring 14 pulls the movable seat 18 to slide in the opposite direction. The movable seat 18 drives the radiator body 1 to move downward via the connecting plate 20, forming a reciprocating sway. The reciprocating sway of the radiator body 1 causes the heat sink 6 to generate inertial force. The attached dust particles fall off due to uneven force, realizing the self-cleaning operation of the radiator body 1 and reducing the impact of dust accumulation on the heat dissipation effect.

[0030] The heat sink core consists of a mounting frame 5 and heat sink 6. When cleaning the heat sink core inside a certain mounting slot 2, the operator pulls the connecting plate 8 outward to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 9, causing the limit rod 7 to disengage from the top surface of the mounting frame 5. The mounting frame 5 is then lifted vertically upward by the handle 11, and the slider 4 slides along the slide groove 3 to the outlet 10. This allows for the easy removal and cleaning of the severely clogged heat sink core. It also allows for the separate rinsing or blowing of the heat sink 6, avoiding the tedious steps of disassembling the entire heat sink. During installation, the slider 4 of the mounting frame 5 is aligned with the slide groove 3 and pushed vertically downward into the mounting slot 2 along the outlet 10. The connecting plate 8 is released, and the return spring 9 pushes the limit rod 7 to reset. Its arc-shaped design guides the limit rod 7 to slide smoothly over the top surface of the mounting frame 5 and lock it in place, completing a quick lock and ensuring the stability of the heat sink core.
