- the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 keeps the cross notch 11110 closed without external force, the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 is in a closed state, so that a closed space is formed on the upper part of the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 for the docking pipe 1113 . Therefore, in the working state, the refrigerant medium flowing back to the reflux pool through the wet curtain is collected on the upper part of the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 , so that the cross notch 11110 is opened by gravity to be in an opening form 111101 which is opened. At this time, the refrigerant medium is smoothly returned to the lower liquid storage tank.
- the refrigerant medium collected on the upper part of the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 cannot be replenished, so that gravity cannot be formed to open the cross notch 11110 into an open state 111101 , and the cross notch 11110 is restored to a closed state, thereby preventing the refrigerant medium from flowing backwards from the lower liquid storage tank through the docking port 1112 .
- FIGS. 15 a - c show another situation of the reflux limiting device: the reflux limiting device comprises a docking port 1112 formed on the liquid storage box cover, a docking pipe 1113 connected to the docking port 1112 , and a floating ball 1114 provided in the docking pipe.
- the average density of the floating ball 1114 is lower than that of the refrigerant medium.
- the docking port 1112 is matched with the reflux joint on the reflux device. A seal is adopted between the docking port and the reflux joint for sealing.
- the size of the floating ball 1114 is matched with the inner diameter of the docking port 1112 or the inner diameter of the part of the docking pipe 1113 located on the upper part of the floating ball 1114 , which forms a blocking position suitable for the floating ball, that is, the floating ball 1114 can be blocked when moving to the corresponding position. Therefore, in the working state, the refrigerant medium flowing back to the reflux pool through the wet curtain is collected on the upper part of the floating ball 1114 , which impacts the floating ball. Because the delivering pump continuously delivers the refrigerant medium in the lower liquid storage tank to the storage pool, the liquid level in the lower liquid storage tank must be in a lower state, and the floating ball must be in a lower position and get out of the blocking position at this time.
- the refrigerant medium smoothly returns to the lower liquid storage tank.
- the refrigerant medium collected in the lower liquid storage tank continuously raises the liquid level, and raises the position of the floating ball until it reaches the blocking position, thus cutting off the communication between the docking port 1112 and the reflux interface on the reflux device, thus preventing the refrigerant medium from flowing backwards from the lower liquid storage tank through the docking port 1112 .

- Next, taking water as a refrigerant medium as an example, alcohol or brine can also be used as refrigerant medium on the premise of meeting the application requirements.
- In the solution of the present invention, the
base unit 1000, which is a modular design, is located at the level of the entire cooling fan product as a whole, and is used to carry the remaining components, that is, the remaining parts. When a functional structure such as thefront panel unit 2000 or thecooling unit 3000 or the air supply unit 4000 or thecover unit 6000 or therefrigerant unit 5000 is used a unit structure of modular design, it can be organized on thebase unit 1000 in an assembly connection manner such as a plug-in connection between sockets/pins/sliding rails/sliding grooves, a connection between screws/bolts/screw holes/nuts. - In the technical solution of the desktop cooling fan of the present invention, when the whole machine adopts a full-modular design, the surface part (here the surface comprises the upper surface, that is, the part of the
base 1010 other than the lowermost part, and of course, further comprises the part that can be involved (bottom part) in order to meet the mounting of some units such as the cover unit 6000) is divided into at least the front panel unit mounting part, the cooling unit mounting part, the air supply unit mounting part, the cover unit mounting part, and the refrigerant unit mounting part for detachably mounting thefront panel unit 2000, thecooling unit 3000, the air supply unit 4000, thecover unit 6000, and therefrigerant unit 5000. These units are assembled to the corresponding mounting unit positions on thebase 1010 in one-to-one correspondence. - In the solution of the present invention, as shown in the figures, the
cooling unit 3000, the air supply unit 4000, and therefrigerant unit 5000 may be located on the upper surface part of the base 1010 as a whole, that is, the cooling unit mounting part, the air supply unit mounting part, and the refrigerant unit mounting part may be formed on the upper part of thebase 1010. For example, these mounting parts may be provided on the upper surface part of the base 1010 or at least on the upper part of the upper surface. This is provided to facilitate mounting. At the same time, a front panel unit mounting part may be mounted at the front of thebase 1010 for vertical mounting thefront panel unit 2000. In the figure, the front panel of thefront panel unit 2000 is mounted on the base 1010 from top to bottom. In addition, a cover unit mounting part may be provided at the bottom of the base 1010 or at a side position near the bottom for mounting and providing thecover unit 6000. Of course, the part, which is adjacent to thefront panel 2030, of the front part of thecover 6010 of thecover unit 6000 is also provided with a structure matching with thefront panel 2030, such as a neck matching with the edge of thefront panel 2030, so as to improve the fastness of the mounting connection between thefront panel 2030 and thecover 6010 and thebase 1010. - In the above solution, the connection between the
cooling unit 3000, the air supply unit 4000, therefrigerant unit 5000, and thebase 1010 may be connected, limited or fixed using a snap-fitting manner, that is, using at least two structures that cooperate with each other and are snap-fit, such as using a tenon-and-mortise structure, a neck and bayonet structure and so on. They can also be connected, limited or fixed using mating threaded structure members, such as using screws with external threads to pass through the through holes provided in thecover 6010 and connected to thebase 1010 with screw holes. It includes but is not limited to connection methods suitable for the connection between thecooling unit 3000, the air supply unit 4000, therefrigerant unit 5000, thefront panel unit 2000, thecover unit 6000, and thebase unit 1000, as long as it can meet the overall assembly and connection of each unit. - In the above solution, as another improvement, in order to divide the
base 1010 into a water channel region 1090 and anair channel region 1080, apartition structure 1020 separating the water channel region 1090 and theair channel region 1080 can also be implemented on thebase 1010. Thepartition structure 1020 is provided at the abutting position of the two regions, and is a continuous structure protruding from the corresponding position of the base 1010 to the outside of thebase 1010. Of course, in order to separate the water channel region 1090 from theair channel region 1080, the junction of the continuous structure and the surface of the base 1010 in the mounted state is in a closed and isolated state, which can effectively limit the range of the water channel region 1090 to the corresponding region. During the use, it will not result in outflow, such as entering theair channel region 1080, which will affect the use or safe operation. Of course, thispartition structure 1020 may be a straight plate structure protruding vertically to the outside of the base 1010 (here perpendicular to the surface of the base 1010), as shown inFIG. 7 ; may be a curved structure protruding vertically to the outside of the base 1010 (here perpendicular to the surface of the base 1010); it will be enough as long as a complete closed structure can be formed around the water channel region 1090, that is, it will be enough as long as a container 5010-shaped region containing a refrigerant can be formed. - In the above solution, the
base 1010 also has a leg or a pad structure for supporting thebase 1010, which can be provided on the side opposite to each unit mounting part or on the side of thebase 1010, that is, at the bottom or bottom surface of the base 1010 or the outer side or the inner side of the periphery, so as to support thebase 1010 or the entire fan. - Applying the above technical solution of the
base unit 1000 to a desktop cooling fan may be expressed as comprising, but not limited to, the following technical solutions. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the entire desktop cooling fan can comprise the following parts that can be independently detached and mounted. - The
base unit 1000 is specifically shown inFIG. 11 . In the solution of this embodiment, the base unit is a basic structure that functions as a connection in the entire cold water fan (that is, the remaining functional units will be functionally connected to or associated with the base unit 1000), and the remaining functional structural units can be mounted on the structure or associated with the structure. On thebase 1010, thepartition structure 1020 protruding to the outside of the base 1010 divides thebase 1010 into a water channel region 1090 and anair channel region 1080. Thepartition structure 1020 and the edge of theadjacent base 1010 convexly form a space for collecting the refrigerant dripped by the wet curtain 3021 during use, and the space is also used to accommodate a pump for delivering the refrigerant to the wet curtain 3021. The refrigerant is delivered by the pump through a liquid delivery pipe to the upper part of the vertically provided wet curtain 3021 so as to wet the wet curtain 3021. The excess refrigerant returns to the space for recycling. - Considering the delivery and recycling of the refrigerant, it can be known that the water channel region 1090 is at least associated with the
cooling unit 3000 and therefrigerant unit 5000. That is to say, in the case where the water channel region 1090 is connected to thecooling unit 3000 and therefrigerant unit 5000 without considering additional pipelines, thecooling unit 3000 and therefrigerant unit 5000 should be provided in the water channel region 1090, that is, the situation shown inFIGS. 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 , etc. - In this case, when the
refrigerating unit 3000 is provided directly above the water channel region 1090, that is, therefrigerating unit 3000 is formed in the refrigerating unit mounting part, thewet curtain support 3010 for carrying the wet curtain 3021 placed the wet curtain 3021 carried by the wet curtain support in the cooling unit mounting part. In order to carry the wet curtain 3021, thewet curtain support 3010 may be a frame structure having a wet curtain 3021 mounting position on the main body. A support structure is provided around the wet curtain 3021 mounting position, that is, the surrounding position, so that the wet curtain 3021 can be stretched and supported on thewet curtain support 3010 smoothly. The lower end of thewet curtain support 3010 is formed with a plurality of bayonets. Corresponding to the bayonets, there are a plurality offlange members 1021 provided on the cooling unit mounting part, that is, theflange members 1021 protruding upward outside from the outer wall of thebase 1010 are provided on thebase 1010 at the corresponding position as shown in the figures. When being mounted, the bayonet is snap-in on theflange member 1021 to form a snap-fitting structure, so as to limit and fix thewet curtain support 3010. Of course, in order to obtain better fixing efficiency, the bottom of thewet curtain support 3010 may also be provided with a screw hole for screw connection, and a corresponding screwing part is provided at a corresponding cooling unit mounting part, so that it can also pass through the screw hole by screws to further fix thewet curtain support 3010 on thebase 1010, so as to obtain better structural stability. - Of course, in order to obtain better mounting performance of the wet curtain 3021, the wet curtain 3021 can also be mounted on the wet curtain fixing frame 3022 before being loaded on the
wet curtain support 3010. As shown in the figure, the wet curtain fixing frame 3022 supports the wet curtain 3021 from the lower end of the wet curtain 3021, and the lower end of the wet curtain 3021 is limited to the wet curtain fixing frame 3022, thereby at least facilitating the mounting and fixing of the wet curtain 3021. Of course, the bottom of the wet curtain fixing frame 3022 may also be provided at a fixedbayonet 3023 fitted with theflange member 1021. InFIG. 1 , the fixingbayonet 3023 is shown as a part protruding from the fixing frame base edge of the wet curtain fixing frame 3022 toward thebase 1010. the fixingbayonet 3023 can be a hollow notch structure formed on the fixing frame base, and the hollow notch structure is matched with theflange member 1021, that is, when the hollow notch structure is matched with the flange member, theflange member 1021 is embedded into the hollow of the fixingbayonet 3023 to form a limit; it may also be provided at a through hole corresponding to the screwing part, so that the wet curtain fixing frame 3022 can also be fixed in a snap-fitting screwing manner. - On the basis of the above solution, the
front panel unit 2000 provided at the front of thebase 1010 has afront panel 2030. As shown inFIG. 1 , the lower end of thefront panel 2030, especially its edge position, is provided with a convex edge mounted and connected to thebase 1010. The convex edge protrudes toward thebase 1010. Correspondingly, a convex edge groove corresponding to the convex edge is provided on the front of thebase 1010, that is, the corresponding front panel mounting part. As can be seen in the figure, the convex edge groove is a stepped groove formed on the edge of thebase 1010. During mounting, the convex edge protruding toward thebase 1010 is properly matched and connected to the convex edge groove, thereby forming a certain degree of locking and limiting, so that the front panel is mounted and fixed on thebase 1010. Of course, the connection and fixing of the front panel can also be fixed or connected using a snap-fitting structure or a screwing structure as stated above. Of course, inFIG. 1 , the part corresponding to the front panel vacancy above thebase 1010 can also have a corresponding convex edge structure and cooperate with the convex edge groove structure on thecover 6010 at the corresponding position to form an effective overall connection structure on the outside of the cooling fan through the connection therebetween. Of course, this additional connection is not necessary under the premise of obtaining a stable connection with thebase 1010. - In addition, in order to meet the charging requirement of users for mobile devices such as mobile phones through a USB interface, a USB interface 2031 may be provided on the
front panel 2030, and the interface is connected with the power supply incoming line, so that the power supply can supply power to meet the charging requirement for mobile phones and other devices when the user uses it. Generally, the power supply here has the functions of voltage transformation, rectification, etc., so as to supply power to the USB interface and output, for example, converting 220V/50 Hz commercial power into 5V DC charging voltage and outputting the voltage from the USB interface 2031. - At the same time, a control key 2032 can also be provided on the
front panel 2030. In order to cooperate with the operation of the control key 2032, a PCB printed with a control circuit is also provided at the corresponding position on the back of thefront panel 2030, and a switch matched with the control key 2032 is connected to the control circuit (the switch here can be a mechanical switch in the form of a button or an inductive switch). At the same time, the control circuit is also connected with PLC, etc., which can be used to control the working state of a delivering pump and a cross-flow fan according to the switch instruction. - Of course, in this solution, the main body of the front panel is further provided with an
air outlet 2010 passing through the panel. As shown inFIG. 2 , theair outlet 2010 is used to blow out the cool air blown from the air supply unit 4000 from the cooling fan during use to cool the outside. - In order to be able to adjust the air direction of the cool air blown from the
air outlet 2010, theair outlet 2010 on the front panel is further provided with a direction adjusting mechanism, and the direction adjusting mechanism may comprise a horizontally swingingblade 2011 for vertically adjusting the air supply direction; may also comprise a vertically swinging blade 2020 for horizontally adjusting the air supply direction; such swinging blade for adjusting the air direction may exist at the same time, or a single one may be selected, and the air supply direction may be adjusted only in a single direction. As shown inFIG. 1 , there is a case where the air supply direction is adjusted horizontally. The horizontally swingingblade 2011 may be provided with a plurality of horizontally swingingblade 2011 units from top to bottom, and the end at one side of the front side and the back side of each unit is the end shaft, which is used to movably connect to the corresponding end shaft pivot at the edge position of theair outlet 2010. In addition, on the other side of each unit opposite the side where the end shaft is located, a movable end shaft is connected. The movable end shaft of each unit is used to be movably connected to the same limiting bar. The limiting bar has a movable end hole matched with the movable end part, and the movable end shaft can rotate in the movable end hole. In order to enable the horizontally swingingblade 2011 to vertically adjust the air direction, the horizontally swingingblade 2011 can also be connected with a horizontally fluctuatingpaddle 2012, which can be connected to a certain horizontally swingingblade 2011 unit, as shown in the figure, and can also be connected to a limiting bar. When the horizontally fluctuatingpaddle 2012 fluctuates in the vertical direction, the horizontally swingingblade 2011 unit will deflect using the end shaft on one side as the shaft, and the other side will drag the limiting bar so that all the horizontally swingingblades 2011 on the air outlet are driven, and the air supply direction is vertically adjusted. - Similarly, the vertically swinging blade 2020 may be provided with a plurality of vertically swinging blade units from left to right, and the end at one side of the front side and the back side of each unit is the end shaft, which is used to movably connect to the corresponding vertical end shaft pivot at the edge position of the
air outlet 2010. In addition, in order to provide additional adjustment of the lateral air direction, the vertically swinging blade 2020 can also be provided with a structure for horizontally adjusting the air supply direction. That is, a vertical movable end shaft is connected to the other side of each unit opposite the side where the end shaft is located. The vertical movable end shaft of each unit is used to be movably connected to the same horizontal limiting bar. The horizontal limiting bar has a movable end hole matched with the horizontal movable end part, and the movable end shaft can rotate in the movable end hole. In order to enable the vertically swinging blade 2020 to horizontally adjust the air direction, the vertically swinging blade 2020 can also be connected with a vertically fluctuating paddle, which can be connected to a certain vertically swinging blade unit, as shown in the figure, and can also be connected to a horizontal limiting bar. When the vertically fluctuating paddle fluctuates in the horizontal direction, the vertically swinging blade unit will deflect using the end shaft on one side as the shaft, and the other side will drag the horizontal limiting bar so that all the vertically swinging blade units on theair outlet 2010 are driven, and the air supply direction is horizontally adjusted. - On the basis of the above solution, the
cover unit 6000 provided on the upper part of the base 1010 from the top to the bottom mainly comprises thecover 6010, which has a pair of opposite surfaces (surface I and surface II), a top surface, and a right side opposite to the front panel. At this time, thebase 1010 of thecover 6010 may or may not be provided due to the existence of thebase 1010. The figure shows the case where the bottom surface is not provided. Here, as shown inFIG. 1 , thecover 6010 has, at least at the lower end of the opposite surface, a fold that is bent inward. Thebase 1010 fixes thecover 6010 through the fold. It can be seen that a connection hole can be formed in the fold. The hole can be used to limit the fold to thebase 1010 by screws or a clamping block matching with the connecting hole. Of course, thebase 1010 can also be formed with a fold groove having an opening facing the outside of thebase 1010 and extending along the side of the base 1010 to match the fold. The fold moves along the fold groove in the fold groove to assemble thecover 6010 to thebase 1010. The surface I of thecover 6010 is adjacent to the wet curtain 3021 of thecooling unit 3000. Therefore, in order to meet the supply requirements of the cool air, the air inlet 6011 of the cooling fan is provided on the surface I so that the air outside the machine enters the machine through the air inlet 6011 during operating, exchanges heat with the refrigerant thereon through the wet curtain 3021 to form cool air, and then is blown out from the air outlet on the front panel through theair channel structure 4020 so as to cool the outside. - In addition, a number of
foot pads 7000 may be provided on the parts such as thecover 6010 or thebase 1010 in contact with the desktop or the ground to prevent wear. - Additionally, as shown in
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 6 , andFIG. 10 , thecontainer 5010 of therefrigerant unit 5000 of the present solution may also be supported outside the housing, and at this time, acontainer 5010 limiting position for defining thecontainer 5010 may be formed on the housing. In the figure, thecontainer 5010 limiting position is defined at the edge position of the housing opposite to the front panel, and the refrigerant unit mounting part on thebase 1010 is also formed at the corresponding edge position. The L-shapedcontainer 5010 limiting position shown in the figure comprises a part of the top surface near the edge. The part of the top surface sinks a number of depths in parallel, and also comprises a part of right side (that is, the side I) located in the upper part and translating to the direction of the front panel by a certain distance. Here, the sinking or translating side of the sinking part on the top surface and the translating part on the right side can be matched with the size of thecontainer 5010 in the same direction. At this time, thecontainer 5010 also forms an approximately square structure as a whole. - In order to limit the
container 5010 to the housing, the side I translating on the right side also has at least one sliding rail structure 6021 protruding toward thecontainer 5010 or a rail structure 5031 recessed toward the housing. Correspondingly, a matching rail structure 5031 recessed into thecontainer 5010 or a sliding rail structure 6021 protruding toward the housing is formed on the adjacent side wall of thecontainer 5010;FIG. 8 andFIG. 10 show the case that a pair of sliding rail structures 6021 vertically provided and protruding toward thecontainer 5010 are formed on the side I, or a rail structure 5031 recessed toward the housing is formed on the adjacent side wall of thecontainer 5010. As can be seen from the figure, the cross-sectional structure of the main body of the sliding rail structure 6021 here perpendicular to the extension direction is generally “” shaped, so the rail structure 5031 is also a concave shape matching with it. Of course, we should know that the setting direction (whether it is horizontal, vertical, or inclined), the number of settings (whether one or more groups are provided), the set position (whether it is provided at the edge or the center or other positions) and the set cross-section structure (whether it is provided in a triangular wedge, etc.) of the sliding rail structure 6021 or the rail structure 5031 are not particularly limited, as long as the cooperation of the sliding rail structure 6021 and the rail structure 5031 is provided to realize the connection and limitation of thecontainer 5010 and the housing. - Of course, in order to deliver the refrigerant to the wet curtain 3021, that is, to meet the requirement of delivering the refrigerant into the water channel region 1090 on the
base 1010, thecontainer 5010 is also provided with a one-way valve 5020, which is used to communicate thecontainer 5010 and the water channel region 1090, that is, the lower liquid storage tank formed on thebase 1010 in the operating state, and further provides a deliveringpump 3033 provided in the lower liquid storage tank to deliver the refrigerant to the wet curtain 3021 via a delivering pipe 3032. As shown inFIG. 3 , a case of a one-way valve 5020 provided at the bottom of thecontainer 5010 is shown. The one-way valve 5020 comprises an inner seal 5021, a T-shapedmember 5022, and a return spring 5023. The T-shapedmember 5022 comprises a connecting rod and a limiting member I formed at one end of the connecting rod, and the connecting rod of the T-shapedmember 5022 is penetratingly connected to the liquid outlet. The limiting member I and the inner sealing member 5021 are placed on both sides of the liquid outlet, respectively; the return spring 5023 is sleeved on the part where the connecting rod is located outside the liquid outlet, the size of the limiting member I is larger than the inner diameter of the return spring 5023 and limits the return spring 5023 to the connecting rod, and the return spring 5023 on the one-way valve 5020 is always in a compressed state (i.e., the length of the return spring 5023 in the relaxed state is greater than the maximum length of the connecting rod outside the liquid outlet); the inner seal 5021 is limited to the other end of the connecting rod, and the inner seal 5021 forms a seal with the liquid outlet when being attached to the liquid outlet from the inside of thecontainer 5010. Correspondingly, a top pressing member 1031 is also provided in the lower liquid storage tank. The one-way valve 5020 passes through theliquid receiving port 6012 corresponding to the top pressing member 1031, that is, theliquid receiving port 6012 provided above the top pressing member 1031. The one-way valve 5020 enters the lower liquid storage tank from the liquid receiving port 6012 (of course, at this time, the corresponding position on thecover 6010 should also be provided with acover 6010 interface for docking. This structure is at least passed by the one-way valve 5020 when entering the lower liquid storage tank). The top pressing member 1031 is provided corresponding to one end of the connecting rod of the one-way valve 5020, so that in the operating state, the upper end of the top pressing member 1031 is in contact with the one end of the connecting rod and compresses the return spring 5023 to remove the inner seal 5021 from the liquid outlet (that is, the inner seal 5021 is not sealed with the liquid outlet, so that the refrigerant can flow). - In order to better realize the distribution of the refrigerant on the wet curtain 3021, that is, to realize the best cool air supplying and cooling effect, the refrigerant medium delivered to the wet curtain 3021 by the delivery pipe 3032 is distributed through the distributor, and the distributor here is associated with the
storage pool 3013 on the wet curtain frame. That is to say, the distributor can extend a plurality of diversion pipes to the wet curtain at the bottom of thestorage pool 3013, so that a distributor meeting the requirements is formed on the storage pool. InFIGS. 13a and 13b , the situation is shown that the conveying pipe 3032 conveys the refrigerant medium (which may be water) to thestorage pool 3013 through thewater inlet pipe 3011. - At the same time, a
liquid level switch 3012 can be provided in thestorage pool 3013 to monitor the liquid level in the storage pool, where the monitored liquid level reflects whether the working state of the deliveringpump 1011 to deliver refrigerant medium into the storage pool is normal. At this time, when the liquid level signals acquired by theliquid level switch 3012 in a continuous period (which can be within one minute) are all lower than the warning level, it can indicate that the reserve of refrigerant medium in the lower liquid storage tank is insufficient or the circulation pipeline of refrigerant medium between thecontainer 5010, the lower liquid storage tank and the storage pool has failed, and it is necessary to replenish the refrigerant medium or carry out maintenance. At this time, a warning signal can be issued, such as activating a signal lamp or buzzer on the front panel. - The liquid level switch can be a floating ball-type liquid level switch, a pressure-type liquid level switch, a capacitive-type liquid level switch or an electronic-type liquid level switch.
FIGS. 13a and 13b show the application of a floating ball-type liquid level switch, which comprises afloat 30121, anejector rod 30122 connected to the float and atrigger switch 30123. The average density of the float is lower than that of the refrigerant medium, so that the float can rise or fall with the fluctuation of the liquid level in the storage pool. Thetrigger switch 30123 here is in a dormant state when the liquid level is high and thefloat 30121 is in a floating state, but thetrigger switch 30123 is collided by theejector rod 30122. Since thetrigger switch 30123 is connected to the working circuit of a signal lamp or buzzer, the signal lamp or buzzer is dormant at this time, and no signal is sent to replenish refrigerant medium or overhaul. On the contrary, the float falls, theejector rod 30122 is separated from thetrigger switch 30123, and the trigger switch is activated to activate the signal lamp or buzzer. In the same way, the pressure-type liquid level switch, the capacitive-type liquid level switch or the electronic-type liquid level switch also make similar operations in order to acquire liquid level information. - In order to make the refrigerant medium passing through the wet curtain return to the lower liquid storage tank safely and efficiently, a reflux pool is formed on the wet curtain frame below the wet curtain for receiving the refrigerant medium flowing back from the wet curtain during operation. A reflux device is provided at the bottom of the reflux pool, and a reflux limiting device is correspondingly provided on the liquid storage tank cover. a channel is formed between the liquid storage tank cover and the reflux limiting device for the refrigerant medium to flow from the reflux pool to the lower liquid storage tank. In order to prevent the overflow risk that the refrigerant medium in the lower liquid storage tank flows back to the reflux pool through the channel in a state such as suspension of work, transportation and movement, or in an inclined state, the reflux limiting device is provided to prevent reflux in this state.
-
FIGS. 14a-c shows a situation of the reflux limiting device: the reflux limiting device comprises adocking port 1112 formed on the liquid storage box cover, adocking pipe 1113 connected to the docking port, and a cross groove silica gel piece 1111 connected to the docking port. A cross notch 1110 is formed on the cross groove silica gel piece 1111, and thedocking port 1112 is matched with the reflux joint on the reflux device. A seal is adopted between thedocking port 1112 and the reflux joint for sealing. When the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 keeps thecross notch 11110 closed without external force, the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 is in a closed state, so that a closed space is formed on the upper part of the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 for thedocking pipe 1113. Therefore, in the working state, the refrigerant medium flowing back to the reflux pool through the wet curtain is collected on the upper part of the cross groove silica gel piece 1111, so that thecross notch 11110 is opened by gravity to be in an opening form 111101 which is opened. At this time, the refrigerant medium is smoothly returned to the lower liquid storage tank. However, after stopping working, the refrigerant medium collected on the upper part of the cross groove silica gel piece 1111 cannot be replenished, so that gravity cannot be formed to open thecross notch 11110 into an open state 111101, and thecross notch 11110 is restored to a closed state, thereby preventing the refrigerant medium from flowing backwards from the lower liquid storage tank through thedocking port 1112. -
FIGS. 15a-c show another situation of the reflux limiting device: the reflux limiting device comprises adocking port 1112 formed on the liquid storage box cover, adocking pipe 1113 connected to thedocking port 1112, and a floatingball 1114 provided in the docking pipe. The average density of the floatingball 1114 is lower than that of the refrigerant medium. Thedocking port 1112 is matched with the reflux joint on the reflux device. A seal is adopted between the docking port and the reflux joint for sealing. The size of the floatingball 1114 is matched with the inner diameter of thedocking port 1112 or the inner diameter of the part of thedocking pipe 1113 located on the upper part of the floatingball 1114, which forms a blocking position suitable for the floating ball, that is, the floatingball 1114 can be blocked when moving to the corresponding position. Therefore, in the working state, the refrigerant medium flowing back to the reflux pool through the wet curtain is collected on the upper part of the floatingball 1114, which impacts the floating ball. Because the delivering pump continuously delivers the refrigerant medium in the lower liquid storage tank to the storage pool, the liquid level in the lower liquid storage tank must be in a lower state, and the floating ball must be in a lower position and get out of the blocking position at this time. At this time, the refrigerant medium smoothly returns to the lower liquid storage tank. After stopping working, the refrigerant medium collected in the lower liquid storage tank continuously raises the liquid level, and raises the position of the floating ball until it reaches the blocking position, thus cutting off the communication between thedocking port 1112 and the reflux interface on the reflux device, thus preventing the refrigerant medium from flowing backwards from the lower liquid storage tank through thedocking port 1112. - Of course, in the working state, when the device inclines, the refrigerant medium will converge due to the inclination of the position, and the floating ball will be lifted to be blocked, which will also prevent the refrigerant medium from flowing backwards and overflowing.
- Of course, in order to achieve cooling and air supplying, an air supply unit 4000 for air supply should also be provided in the machine body. The air supply unit 4000 comprises a fan structure driven by a motor and an
air channel structure 4020, wherein the fan structure adopts thecross-flow fan 4010 driven by a motor. Thecross-flow fan 4010 is provided vertically in the air supply unit 4000 of thebase 1010, that is, the rotating shaft of thecross-flow fan 4010 is vertical to thebase 1010. The lower end of the rotating shaft of thecross-flow fan 4010 has a rotation support mechanism that supports the rotation of thecross-flow fan 4010. The rotation support mechanism may be a downward-rotating shaft protruding downward along the rotating shaft or a downward-rotating shaft recessed inwardly toward thecross-flow fan 4010 in the direction of the rotating shaft; correspondingly to the downward-rotating shaft here, a downward-rotating shaft holder supporting and matching with the downward-rotating shaft needs to be formed correspondingly at the air supply unit mounting part of thebase 1010. The downward-rotating shaft holder and the rotating shaft of thecross-flow fan 4010 are coaxially provided, so that the holder must be coaxially provided with the downward-rotating shaft. Correspondingly to the downward-rotating shaft protruding downwards, the connecting part between its matching downward-rotating shaft holder and the downward-rotating shaft should be recessed. Such a recessed structure may be a groove-shaped downward-rotating shaft holder recessed toward thebase 1010, or an inner ring of a matching bearing. The inner ring is connected to the convex downward-rotating shaft holder, and the outer ring is fixed to thebase 1010. These technical solutions and the similar technical solutions are applicable; and when the downward-rotating shaft is a concave structure, a convex downward-rotating shaft holder corresponding to the concave structure is provided at thebase 1010. Similarly, the downward-rotating shaft holder can be directly fit and formed into the groove-shaped downward-rotating shaft to support its rotation. Of course, the downward-rotating shaft holder is connected to the bearing inner ring, and the outer ring is fixed to the groove-shaped downward-rotating shaft. These technical solutions and the similar technical solutions are applicable. - In the above setting, the motor for driving the
cross-flow fan 4010 to rotate around the shaft is located above thecross-flow fan 4010, and drives the rotation of thecross-flow fan 4010 from the upper part of thecross-flow fan 4010. At this time, the motor itself can be limited to the corresponding inside of thecover 6010 or the air channel mechanism or the wet curtain 3021 frame and other fixed adjacent structures to meet the requirements of driving the rotation. Of course, the motor here can use a shaded-pole motor 4030 to achieve lower operating noise and more stable operation. Of course, other types of motors can also be supported. - In addition, the
air channel structure 4020 is formed with a structure which accommodates thecross-flow fan 4010 and in which airflow flows in the cooling fan. It undoubtedly has an air inlet 6011 adjacent to the wet curtain 3021, an air outlet configured to output cool air to the outside, and an air channel connecting the air inlet 6011 and the air outlet and configured to adjust the air direction in the machine. The air outlet is communicated with theair outlet 2010 on the front panel for exhausting air to the outside of the machine. Thecross-flow fan 4010 is accommodated in the air channel between the air inlet 6011 and the air outlet. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 3-6 , an embodiment of an air supply unit 4000 is shown, in which across-flow fan 4010 has a downward-rotating shaft downwardly extending and protruding downward along the rotating shaft, and is supportedly connected to thebase 1010 by the downward-rotating shaft. The output end of the shaded-pole motor 4030 is connected above the rotating shaft of the shaded-pole motor 4030, and the shaded-pole motor 4030 is limited to theair channel structure 4020, so that the shaded-pole motor 4030 can drive thecross-flow fan 4010 to rotate around the rotating shaft during operation. Air enters the air inlet 6011 on thecover 6010, and exchanges heat with the refrigerant thereon through the wet curtain 3021, and then is output from theair outlet 2010 on the front panel through theair channel structure 4020. - The mounting and connection state of the cooling fan according to the present invention is shown in
FIGS. 1-12 . During operation, the motor is driven by thecross-flow fan 4010 to rotate. The rotation occurs inside the air channel of theair channel structure 4020 and air enters the air inlet 6011; acontainer 5010 containing a refrigerant such as water is mounted on the mounting position, and the top of the one-way valve 5020 therebelow is in contact with the top pressing member 1031 on thebase 1010. At this time, the return spring 5023 is compressed, and the connecting rod is forced to move upward. The limiting member I that seals the liquid outlet from the inner part is loosened, the liquid outlet is turned on, and the refrigerant flows out, and enters the lower liquid storage tank on thebase 1010 through theliquid receiving port 6012; under the working state, the deliveringpump 3033 in the lower liquid storage tank operates and delivers the refrigerant medium to the storage pool through the delivering pipe 3032, and the refrigerant medium is distributed to the wet curtain 3021 through the distributor for wetting; the airflow passes through the wet curtain 3021 for heat exchange, cools and becomes cold air, then enters the air channel to turn, and finally is blown out of the machine from theair outlet 2010 on the front panel. After leaving the wet curtain, the refrigerant medium passing through the wet curtain is collected into the reflux pool, and returned to the lower liquid storage tank through the matched reflux device and reflux limiting device. By adjusting the direction of the swinging blades of theair outlet 2010, the air supply direction can be adjusted by itself, for example, thehorizontal paddle 2012 fluctuates up and down to achieve a vertical change in the air direction. In the working state, when the liquid level in the storage pool does not meet the preset value in the detection of the liquid level switch, an alarm will be triggered to remind for rehydration or device maintenance. When the device is moved or inclined, the reflux limiting device cuts off the reflux channel between the reflux pool and the lower liquid storage tank, thus forming safety protection. - The
