Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air cooler technology, and more specifically, to an air cooler support and fixing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, common cold storage indoor units and air coolers are typically mounted on wooden pallets with the drain nozzle facing upwards and the hook facing downwards after the entire unit rolls off the production line. This mounting method causes numerous inconveniences for equipment handling and on-site installation. During transportation, this mounting structure restricts the equipment from being stacked—if forcibly stacked, the drain pan will directly bear the pressure of the equipment above, easily causing deformation and damage. Before on-site installation, the entire unit must be flipped so that the hooks face upwards to meet lifting requirements. The entire flipping and subsequent lifting process requires continuous operation without interruption. In addition, due to the significant weight of the equipment, the flipping and lifting operations often require multiple personnel to work together, increasing labor costs and raising safety risks and operational difficulty. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support and fixing structure for a cold air blower. This structure is first fixed to the base by pre-installed components, and then other parts are installed, so that the drain nozzle is at the bottom and the hook is at the top, avoiding multiple flips of the whole machine and improving production efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted is as follows: A support and fixing structure for an air cooler includes a bracket, a connecting plate, at least four supporting components, a water tray, a drain nozzle, and a base; the bracket, connecting plate, water tray, and base are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The bracket is connected to at least four supporting members around its perimeter, and is connected to the connecting plate; the water receiving tray is connected to the connecting plate; the bracket is connected to the base through the at least four supporting members; and the drain nozzle is disposed on the water receiving tray and communicates with the accommodating space inside the water receiving tray.

[0005] Preferably, the connecting plate has folded edges around its perimeter, and through holes are provided on the folded edges corresponding to the positions of the support members. The support members are fixedly connected to the bracket by bolts passing through the through holes.

[0006] Preferably, the bracket is rectangular in shape, and its four ends are connected to four support members respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting plate is rectangular in shape and is detachably connected to the water receiving tray.

[0008] Preferably, the drain nozzle is welded onto the drain pan.

[0009] Preferably, the water receiving tray, drain nozzle, base, support, and bracket do not come into contact with each other.

[0010] Preferably, the support member and the base are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the height of the top of the bracket is higher than the height of the top of the connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the water receiving tray is rectangular in shape, and the drain nozzle is located in the middle of the water receiving tray.

[0013] Preferably, the base is a wooden base.

[0014] In the above solution, a pre-assembled component consists of a bracket, a connecting plate, at least four supporting members, a water tray, and a drain nozzle. First, the water tray and drain nozzle are fixed in place, with the drain nozzle facing downwards. Then, the pre-assembled component is placed on the base and securely connected. Next, the evaporative cooler is placed on the bracket and fixedly connected to the supporting members, thus achieving the desired configuration with the drain nozzle facing downwards and the evaporative cooler's hooks facing upwards, facilitating subsequent hoisting. Furthermore, the water tray and drain nozzle do not contact the base, supporting members, or bracket, therefore the drain nozzle and water tray are not subjected to stress, preventing deformation. This allows the entire unit to be stacked, increasing container capacity and reducing transportation costs.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1) This structure, through bolted connections between the brackets, supports, and base, forms a balanced support system, providing a stable installation foundation for the evaporative cooler and effectively resisting vibration and impact during operation and transportation. Simultaneously, the water tray and drain nozzle employ a welded sealing design, combined with a non-contact layout between the water tray and other components, avoiding potential leaks and fundamentally preventing deformation of the water tray and drain nozzle under stress, thus ensuring the structural integrity and service life of core functional components.

[0016] 2) Core components such as the bracket and connecting plate adopt a modular pre-assembly design. The water tray, drain nozzle, bracket, and connecting plate are first assembled into an integrated component, and then connected to the base and air cooler. This greatly simplifies the assembly process and improves installation efficiency. The folded edge and through-hole design of the connecting plate and the detachable connection between the water tray and the connecting plate make assembly operations more convenient. At the same time, it adapts to the installation requirements of different sizes of air coolers, reducing the difficulty of maintenance and component replacement.

[0017] 3) By assembling in layers, a standardized configuration is formed with the drain nozzle facing down and the air cooler hook facing up. This precisely matches the operational requirements of subsequent hoisting operations, eliminating the need for additional adjustments to the air cooler's posture, reducing auxiliary procedures during hoisting, improving operational safety and convenience, and lowering labor costs.

[0018] 4) Thanks to the stress isolation design of the water tray and drain nozzle, the overall structural stability of the evaporative air cooler is significantly improved, allowing for compliant stacking. Stacking greatly increases the loading capacity of a single cabinet, effectively reducing space waste during transportation and lowering logistics costs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention. Example

[0024] The air cooler support and fixing structure disclosed in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the core components include a bracket 1, a connecting plate 2, four support members 3, a water receiving tray 4, a drain nozzle 5, and a base 6. The bracket 1, connecting plate 2, water receiving tray 4, and base 6 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0025] The specific structural design of each component is as follows: 1. The bracket 1 has a rectangular frame structure. Each of its four ends is equipped with a connecting sleeve with internal threads for connecting with the support 3. The top plane of the bracket 1 is flat, and its top height is higher than the top of the connecting plate 2 by a certain distance, so as to reserve sufficient assembly space and heat dissipation gap for the installation of the air cooler 7.

[0026] 2. The connecting plate 2 is a rectangular plate with folded edges integrally formed around its four sides. Through holes are provided on the folded edges corresponding to the positions of the four support members 3. The diameter of the through holes is slightly larger than the diameter of the bolts passing through them, ensuring that the bolts do not contact the inner wall of the through holes when passing through them. This concentrates the load on the structure composed of the bolts, support members 3 and bracket 1, and avoids the connecting plate 2 bearing the load.

[0027] 3. One end of the support member 3 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1 through bolts and the through hole of the connecting plate 2, and the other end is fixed to the base 6 through bolts to form a stable vertical support.

[0028] 4. The water receiving tray 4 has a rectangular trough structure, which can collect the condensate generated during the operation of the air cooler 7. It is detachably connected to the connecting plate 2 for easy cleaning and maintenance. The drain nozzle 5 has a tubular structure and is fixed in the middle of the water receiving tray 4 by welding. One end of it is connected to the internal space of the water receiving tray 4, and the other end is set downwards. It can be connected to an external drain pipe to drain the condensate. The weld is sealed to ensure that there is no risk of leakage.

[0029] 5. The base 6 is a rectangular tray structure, and bolts are provided on the top corresponding to the position of the support 3 for the installation and positioning of the support 3.

[0030] In the above scheme, the bracket 1, connecting plate 2, support member 3, water tray 4, and drain nozzle 5 form a pre-assembled component. First, the water tray 4 and drain nozzle 5 are fixed with the drain nozzle 5 facing downwards. Then, the pre-assembled component is placed on the base 6 and securely connected. Next, the air cooler 7 is placed on the bracket 1 and fixedly connected to the support member 3, thus achieving the desired configuration where the drain nozzle 5 faces downwards and the air cooler 7's hook 71 faces upwards, facilitating subsequent hoisting. Furthermore, the water tray 4 and drain nozzle 5 do not contact the base 6, support member 3, or bracket 1, therefore the drain nozzle 5 and water tray 4 are not subjected to stress, preventing deformation. Consequently, the entire unit can be stacked, increasing container capacity and reducing transportation costs.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are not limited to the above content. For example, the number of support members 3 can be adjusted to 6 according to the weight of the air cooler 7, and evenly distributed around the bracket 1 to improve the support stability; the size of the water tray 4 can be adjusted according to the amount of condensate from the air cooler 7 to ensure the condensate collection effect. These modifications are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
