Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the structure of a cooler container for an evaporative cooler.

To prevent corrosion and salt deterioration, it is preferable for steam coolers that evaporate water into the air stream to have as few metal fasteners as possible on the cooler container.

Further, by reducing the number of metal fasteners, the assembly time can be shortened and the appearance of the cooler can be improved.

According to the present invention, the tank pace, the side plates facing each other, the back plate, and the top plate members are combined, and the assembly between each member is a barb-shaped protrusion formed on the joint surface of one member. A cooler container of an evaporative cooler that is assembled by engaging the joint surface of the other member with a reduced number of metal fasteners or without any metal fasteners. is provided.

411, the cooler container of the present invention has a 1D structure with a plurality of members.
1. The members adjacent to each other have mutually securing surfaces that engage with each other and hold each member in an assembled state, and one of the mutually securing surfaces is a surface having barb-shaped protrusions. The other side has a holding surface that engages and holds the ridge having the barbed protrusions.

By using barbed ribs for interengaging the side and back plates with the top plate, the assembly process can be carried out extremely quickly, and no metal fasteners are required. By providing a spigot and a socket, or other mutually securing means between each member of the case container, the joint by the barbed protrusion can be maintained without inadvertently coming off.

Next, to explain the present invention in detail, the tank space 1o of the cooler container of the evaporative cooler is composed of a bottom wall 12 and a recovery side wall 13 standing upright on the bottom wall 12. One side wall 16 of the tank space 1o facing each other is formed with a pair of inwardly directed 7 tank parts 15, 15, and each of the 7 tank parts has a grooved holding surface 1.
6, the retaining surface 16 facing the inner surface of the adjacent side wall. Furthermore, #l118 formed on the middle 7 flange 19 also forms a holding space. Each side plate 13 has barbs 20 extending in the longitudinal direction (@ having a slope of a certain length extending from the wall toward the center of the tank). A protrusion is provided at the shoulder portion of the protrusion, which is bent and has a surface that intersects at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the protrusion. The side plates of the tank, like the other plate members, are made of molded polymer.

The two side plates 23 each have hooks 2 that fit into the grooves 18.
4, a barbed protrusion 20 formed on the side wall of the tank pace,
Optionally, a barb-like protrusion is formed in the protrusion 25 at the ninth position to ensure and simplify the positioning of the side plate with respect to the tank pace 10. Seven lunge 27 is provided at the lower end of each end of each side plate 23.
7 has a longitudinal flank 27 relative to the 7 lunge 15.
A notch is formed to allow movement. 7 lunge 2
The surface 7 engages with the holding surface 16 of the 7 flange 15 to prevent the side plate 23 from separating from the tank space 10, and the barbed protrusions 20 and 25 that engage with each other are , side plate 2
3 prevents it from falling below the tank pace 10. Furthermore, along with the hook 24 extending downward, the side plate 2! I is provided with seven flange 28 extending downward, and this seven flange 28 abuts against the inner surface of the side wall 13 extending along the opening of the tank space 10. This inner surface functions as a holding surface that holds it against the barb-shaped protrusion surface and engages with said barb-shaped protuberance surface. As shown in FIG. 5, at the front ends 30 of the two opposing side plates 23,
An intermediate wall portion 51 is provided, and this portion 51 includes:
A plurality of sprockets '52 are formed. The sprocket 52 engages with a spigot 53 that projects rearward from a surface plate 54, which will be described in detail below. Further, the front end 50 is formed with a barb-like protrusion 35 that projects forward, and the barb-like protrusion 55 fits into the barb-like protrusion 36 of the surface plate 34.

A pair of barb-like protrusions 41 are formed on the upper wall portion 40 of the side plate 25, and the pair of barb-like protrusions 41 are spaced apart from each other and extend toward the inside of the top plate 45. It is configured to fit over the barbed protrusion 42 to be formed.

The back plate (not shown) is secured to the rear end of the side plate by seven rear flange 45° 46 extending perpendicularly to each other on the side plate.

The upper W plate 4S is substantially flat and perpendicular to its periphery 7.
It has a lunge 4B. This vertical flange 48 has
The barb-shaped protrusions 42 described above are formed and fit with the barb-shaped protrusions 41 to lock the -straight flange 48 and the side plate. The barbs 41, 42 are engaged by pressing the upper part 1lI11 of the side plate toward the center of the cooler! 7$111
Do 1.

On the other hand, the top plate is held in a fixed state by barbed protrusion holding means constituted by a spigot 53 on the top plate and a sprocket 32 on the side plate.

The surface plate 34 is made up of a number of nine louver pieces 50 that are close together and the gaps between the louver pieces constitute an outlet for water vapor that flows with the air.

*niwFi also has a vertical 7-lunge 51 which engages with the auxiliary surface of the tank pace to reinforce the locking by the spigot.

As described above, the cooler container according to the embodiment of the present invention has a simple structure and makes the assembly of the evaporative cooler simple and efficient. Furthermore, according to the above embodiment, no metal fasteners are used.
