A side panel is fixed around the outer side of the base plate, and several water droplet buffer plates are fixed on the inner side of the side panel.

[0021] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions and the beneficial effects of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] The embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows: Figures 1-5 As shown, a water tank structure for a evaporative air cooler includes a base plate 10, a side panel 20 fixed around the outer side of the base plate 10, the two together forming a water tank 30, a plurality of water droplet buffer plates 40 fixed on the inner side of the side panel 20, the top of the water droplet buffer plates 40 and the side wall of the side panel 20 together forming a buffer water trough 50, an evaporative air cooler 60 is installed on the top of the side panel 20, a fan curtain 70 is fixed on the side wall of the evaporative air cooler 60, and a plurality of drip outlets 80 are opened at the bottom of the fan curtain 70, the number and position of the drip outlets 80 matching the buffer water trough 50.
[0023] During use, when the evaporative cooler 60 is running, the fan curtain 70 on its side wall is wetted with water. When the fan curtain 70 is saturated with water, the excess water will drip down through several drip nozzles 80 at the bottom of the fan curtain 70. The water droplets dripping from the drip nozzles 80 will not directly hit the bottom plate 10 of the water tank 30 or the water surface. Instead, they will first fall into the buffer water tank 50 located directly below it. After the water droplets are initially buffered and dispersed in the buffer water tank 50, the water flow will become relatively gentle. Then, they will overflow from the buffer water tank 50 and flow smoothly into the bottom of the water tank 30 to mix with the water in the tank.
[0024] The water tank, through the mechanical structure of the water droplet buffer plate 40 and the buffer water tank 50, changes the falling path of the water droplets and their final state when impacting the water surface. The high potential energy of the water droplets is partially absorbed and dispersed by impacting the inner surface of the buffer water tank 50, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the water droplets. This greatly reduces the impact force on the original water surface in the water tank 30 when the subsequent water flow flows smoothly into the water tank, thus effectively reducing the generation of water droplet noise and improving the user experience.
[0025] Preferably, the side panel 20 includes a front side panel 21, a left side panel 22, a right side panel 23, and a rear side panel 24. The front side panel 21, the left side panel 22, the right side panel 23, and the rear side panel 24 are all fixed to the outside of the base plate 10. A water droplet buffer plate 40 is fixed on the left side panel 22, a water droplet buffer plate 40 is fixed on the right side panel 23, and two water droplet buffer plates 40 are fixed on the rear side panel 24. This arrangement enhances the buffering capacity on the rear side based on the internal airflow and water droplet distribution characteristics of the air cooler 60, making the buffering effect more targeted and reliable.
[0026] Preferably, the fan evaporative cooling pad 70 includes a left evaporative cooling pad 71, a right evaporative cooling pad 72, and a rear evaporative cooling pad 73. The left evaporative cooling pad 71, the right evaporative cooling pad 72, and the rear evaporative cooling pad 73 are all fixed on the air cooler 60. The bottom of the left evaporative cooling pad 71 and the right evaporative cooling pad 72 are each provided with a water droplet 80, and the bottom of the rear evaporative cooling pad 73 is provided with two water droplets 80. This arrangement ensures the high efficiency and integrity of the buffering function and completely eliminates the possibility of water droplets directly hitting the bottom plate 10.
[0027] Preferably, a front fixing plate 90 is fixed to the inner side of the front side plate 21, and a rear fixing plate 100 is fixed to the inner side of the rear side plate 24. The rear fixing plate 100 is positioned between the two water droplet buffer plates 40 on the rear side plate 24. The front fixing plate 90 and the rear fixing plate 100 enhance the structural strength inside the water tank. The rear fixing plate 100 is deliberately positioned between the two rear water droplet buffer plates 40, making full use of the space layout without interfering with the buffering function. This improves the integration and functionality of the entire water tank module, enabling it not only to store water and buffer, but also to serve as an installation frame for internal components, facilitating the assembly and maintenance of the entire machine.
[0028] Preferably, a drain outlet 110 is provided on the base plate 10. The drain outlet 110 is located on the side near the rear fixed plate 100, which makes it convenient for users to clean the water tank or discharge wastewater regularly. The design of placing the drain outlet 110 on the side near the rear fixed plate 100 is conducive to using the gravity of water to drain thoroughly, ensuring that dirty water and sediment can be discharged smoothly, which is convenient for maintenance and keeps the inside of the water tank clean.
[0029] Preferably, a drain cover 120 is installed at the bottom of the drain outlet 110. The function of the drain cover 120 is to seal the drain outlet 110 to prevent water tank leakage during daily use. The drain cover 120 ensures the water tank's airtightness, avoiding water waste and trouble caused by accidental leakage. It is only opened when cleaning is required, greatly improving the product's practicality and reliability.
[0030] Preferably, an observation window 130 is provided on the outer side of the front fixed plate 90. The observation window 130 is located at the center of the front side plate 21, allowing the user to directly observe the water level in the water tank. The observation window 130 is located at the center of the front side, providing the best field of vision. The user can quickly determine whether water needs to be added without opening the equipment, which provides great convenience and helps prevent the equipment from being damaged by dry burning due to lack of water.
[0031] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate 10 is fixed with a number of reinforcing ribs 140. The number of reinforcing ribs 140 are evenly distributed on the base plate 10. The evenly distributed reinforcing ribs 140 can effectively resist the deformation caused by water pressure and the weight of the tank, ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the water tank structure, preventing water leakage, and extending the service life of the product.
[0032] This utility model discloses a water tank structure for an evaporative cooler. A side panel 20 is fixed around the outer side of a base plate 10. Several water droplet buffer plates 40 are fixed to the inner side of the side panel 20. The top of the water droplet buffer plates 40 and the side wall of the side panel 20 together form a buffer water trough 50. An evaporative cooler 60 is installed on the top of the side panel 20. A fan curtain 70 is fixed to the side wall of the evaporative cooler 60. Several drip outlets 80 are provided at the bottom of the fan curtain 70. This water tank structure effectively absorbs and disperses the kinetic energy of water droplets, significantly reducing the noise generated by water droplet impact, thereby significantly improving the quietness of the evaporative cooler 60 during operation and enhancing the user experience. In addition, this design also indirectly reduces water splashing and evaporation loss, helping to maintain a stable water level in the tank.
