Abstract
A heat dispensing device for a cylinder includes a plurality of curve fins and each fin has a first end axially extending from an outer surface of the cylinder body and a second end of each of the fins has a Y-shaped distal end which increases the area for dispensing heat. The fins extend clockwise or counter clockwise to guide airflow to smoothly pass through the gaps between the fins.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a heat dispensing device on a cylinder body and the device includes a plurality of upright fins and each fins includes a Y-shaped distal end.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional cylinder is shown in FIG. 5 and generally includes a cylinder body 11 with a heat dispensing device 12 connected thereto. The cylinder body 11 has an inlet (not shown) and an outlet 110. The heat dispensing device 12 includes a plurality of plate type fins 121 which extending transversely (horizontally) and perpendicularly from the body 11 and are parallel with each other. However, the fins 121 are in a form of straight plate and parallel with each other, so that limited number of the fins 121 are allowed to be connected to the cylinder body 11 so that the efficiency of heat dispense is restricted. Besides, the area of the fins 121 is limited because all the fins 121 extend from a limited area on the cylinder body 11.


The present invention intends to provide a heat dispensing device composed of a plurality of upright fins on a cylinder body and the fins are smooth and curve and extend axially from the cylinder body. Each fin has a Y-shaped distal end so that the heat dispensing area is larger than the conventional fins.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a heat dispensing device for a cylinder and the device includes a plurality of fins wherein each fin has a first end axially extending from an outer surface of the cylinder body and a second end of each of the fins has a Y-shaped distal end.


The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.




BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS


FIG. 1 is a perspective view to show the heat dispensing device of the present invention on a cylinder body;



FIG. 2 is a side view to show the cylinder body and the heat dispensing device of the present invention;



FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view taken along line A-A in FIG. 2;



FIG. 4 shows airflow passes through gaps between the fins, and



FIG. 5 is a perspective view to show a conventional heat dispensing device on a cylinder body.




DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the heat dispensing device 12 for a cylinder 10 of the present invention comprises a plurality of fins 120 extending from the cylinder body 11. The cylinder body 11 includes an inlet (not shown) and an outlet 110. Each fin 120 has a first end axially extending from an outer surface 112 of the cylinder body 11 and a second end of each of the fins 120 has a Y-shaped distal end. The fins are curve plates and extend toward clockwise or counter clockwise. There are gaps defined between the fins 120 so that airflow may smoothly pass through the gaps and bring heat from the fins 120. The Y-shaped distal ends increase the area for removing the heat to the air and the efficiency of heat dispensing can be improved.


The curve fins 120 are longer and have more area than the conventional straight fins and the Y-shaped distal ends increases the area to dispense heat away from the cylinder body 11.


While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Claims
  • 1. A heat dispensing device for a cylinder which includes a cylinder body which has an outlet and an inlet, comprising: a plurality of fins and each fin having a first end adapted to axially extending from an outer surface of the cylinder body, a second end of each of the fins having a Y-shaped distal end.
  • 2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fins are curve plates and extend toward clockwise.
