DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation modes.

[0030] The present invention relates to an automatic cleaning device for a water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit. The device is installed on the air inlet side of a water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 of a water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit 1, and comprises a cleaning brush row 3 with a cleaning brush 8, a plurality of horizontal slide grooves 5 and a vertical slide groove 6. The vertical slide groove 6 is fixed on a side frame inside the water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit 1 and is vertically installed. The two ends of the plurality of horizontal slide grooves 5 are respectively fixed on the two side frames inside the water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit 1 and are parallelly installed. The cleaning brush row 3 has a frame and a gear is arranged on the frame. The horizontal slide groove 5 and the vertical slide groove 6 are both provided with a rack opening. The gear on the cleaning brush row 3 frame is inserted into the slide groove and meshed with the rack. The gear is driven by an electric motor and drives the cleaning brush row 3 to move between each water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 to complete the cleaning.

[0031] A cleaning brush fixing plate 9 is provided in the frame of the cleaning brush row 3, and a plurality of cleaning brushes 8 are arranged in a matrix on the plate surface of the cleaning brush fixing plate 9. The cleaning brush 8 is fixed to the shaft sleeve, which is installed and clamped on the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft and the rotating gear at the bottom are integrated and fixed to the cleaning brush fixing plate 9. The shaft sleeve, the rotating shaft and the rotating gear constitute a cleaning brush rotating mechanism 10, and the rotating gear is driven by an electric motor to realize the rotation of the cleaning brush 8. If the cleaning brush 8 needs to be replaced due to wear and tear, adjustment of the large diameter brush, or adjustment of the brush length, it can be replaced by simply pulling out the brush and the shaft sleeve fixing the brush from the rotating shaft as a whole.

[0032] The cleaning brush fixing plate 9 is threadedly connected with multiple groups of brush fixing plate advancing screws 20 fixed on the cleaning brush row frame through multiple groups of threaded holes arranged at the four corners and edges of the brush fixing plate. A pulley is arranged at the root of the brush fixing plate advancing screw 20. The electric motor drives the brush fixing plate advancing screw 20 to rotate through a belt drive to realize the overall advancement or retraction of the cleaning brush fixing plate 9 along the airflow direction. Similarly, if the cleaning brush fixing plate 9 needs to be removed from the frame of the cleaning brush row 3 as a whole, it only needs to be rotated until the brush fixing plate advancing screw 20 is completely separated from the threaded holes on the brush fixing plate. In combination with the space of the cleaning brush row 3 frame, it can be considered that one or more brush fixing plate advancing screws 20 are driven by a group of electric motors.

[0033] The frame side of the cleaning brush row 3 is fixed on the brush row rotating shaft 4 through a shaft sleeve. A set of brush row rotating gears 13 are set at the bottom of the brush row rotating shaft 4. The brush row rotating gears 13 are driven by an electric motor. When the brush row rotating shaft 4 is automatically rotated and clamped on the shaft sleeve, it rotates exactly 90 degrees, and the brush row vertical moving gear 12 can also just bite into the vertical slide groove 6. A set of brush row horizontal moving gears 11 are set at the top of the brush row rotating shaft 4. The brush row horizontal moving gears 11 are driven by an electric motor. After rotating and inserting into the horizontal slide groove 5 and biting, they move horizontally left and right along the horizontal slide groove 5, thereby driving the cleaning brush row 3 to move horizontally. The surface of the brush row vertical moving gear 12 is perpendicular to the cleaning brush row 3 and is fixed near the upper end of the outer side of the shaft sleeve. The brush row vertical moving gear 12 is also driven by an electric motor. After rotating and inserting into the vertical slide groove 6 and biting, it can move vertically up and down along the vertical slide groove 6, thereby driving the cleaning brush row 3 to move up and down. A plurality of travel position triggers 7 are arranged on the paths of the horizontal slide 5 and the vertical slide 6 to feedback arrival signals when the cleaning device moves horizontally left and right and vertically up and down to a certain position.

[0034] A horizontal water spray pipe 17 is provided on the top edge of the frame of the cleaning brush row 3, and a row of downward water spray nozzles 18 are provided on the water spray pipe 17. One end of the water spray pipe 17 is connected downward from the side of the frame of the cleaning brush row 3 to a metal hose 19 for water supply at the bottom, and is connected to external tap water.

[0035] A horizontal detergent supply pipe 14 is arranged below the water spray pipe 17 on the top edge of the frame of the cleaning brush row 3. A row of downward detergent adding nozzles 15 are arranged on the detergent supply pipe 14. One end of the detergent supply pipe 14 is connected downward from the side edge of the frame of the cleaning brush row 3 to the detergent storage tank 16 at the bottom.

[0036] When the external dimensions of the present invention are designed, the specifications and dimensions are matched with the water film evaporative cooling module unit 2. The number of columns of the cleaning brush 8 is determined according to the number of filler sheets of the water film evaporative cooling module, and the number of rows of the cleaning brush 8 is determined according to the number of troughs of each filler sheet. The diameter of the cleaning brush 8 is preferably sufficient to fill the trough gap between two filler sheets. The effective length of the cleaning brush 8 is determined in combination with the air quality (air cleanliness) of the application place of the water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit 1. If the treated air is relatively clean, the brush length is sufficient to brush the filler sheets within the windward contact surface. As the treated air becomes dirtier, the brush length increases appropriately, and the longest should not exceed 1 / 2 of the filler thickness of the water film evaporative cooling module unit 2.

[0037] The present invention can be controlled as a whole by an externally arranged PLC control cabinet, which is independent of the combined water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit 1. The working process of the overall device is as follows:

[0038] When dust or scaling occurs on the packing sheet of the water film evaporative cooling module and needs to be cleaned, the maintenance personnel will use the PLC control cabinet on site to set the brushing and flushing time according to the degree of dust or scaling, select whether to add detergent during the cleaning process, and set the cleaning sequence. When everything is ready, start the automatic cleaning device to start the automatic cleaning work.

[0039] Automatic cleaning working procedures:

[0040] The first step is to adjust the state of the cleaning brush row 3: that is, the PLC control cabinet gives the cleaning brush row 3 a forward rotation instruction, and the cleaning brush row 3 is driven by the electric motor to drive the brush row rotating gear 13 from the original state (parallel to the packing sheet of the water film evaporative cooling module unit 2, fixed to the side wall of the water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit 1) to drive the brush row rotating shaft 4 and the cleaning brush row 3 to rotate 90° as a whole, so that it turns to the initial working state (vertical to the packing sheet of the water film evaporative cooling module unit 2, the cleaning brush 8 is parallel to the packing sheet);

[0041] The second step (whether to execute this step is determined according to the needs) is to add detergent to the cleaning brush 8: it is specifically executed by the established program instructions of the PLC control cabinet, that is, the PLC control cabinet issues a start instruction for the brush rotating gear to rotate at a low speed, driving the cleaning brush 8 to automatically rotate at a slow speed to prepare for adding detergent. At the same time, the PLC control cabinet sends a control signal control instruction to the detergent storage tank 16, and the detergent storage tank 16 presses out the detergent to provide detergent to each cleaning brush 8 in the top row of the cleaning brush row 3 through the detergent supply pipe 14 and the detergent adding nozzle 15. After all the cleaning brushes 8 are evenly covered with detergent, the PLC control cabinet issues a command to stop the rotation of the cleaning brush 8, and the detergent addition is completed;

[0042] The third step is to prepare for brushing: the PLC control cabinet issues an instruction to advance the cleaning brush fixing plate 9 as a whole in the direction of the airflow, that is, the electric motor drives the pulley at the root of the brush fixing plate advancing screw 20 to drive the brush fixing plate advancing screw 20 to withdraw along the threaded hole on the fixing plate, and advance the cleaning brush fixing plate 9 as a whole, so that the cleaning brush 8 on the cleaning brush fixing plate 9 slowly enters the interior of the water film evaporative cooling module filler sheet;

[0043] The fourth step is to start brushing: the PLC control cabinet issues a start command for the brush rotating gear to rotate, driving the cleaning brush 8 to automatically rotate and brush the water film evaporative cooling module filler sheet. After the preset brushing time ends, the brushing is automatically completed;

[0044] The fifth step is automatic flushing: the PLC control cabinet issues a flushing command to open the electric valve on the main pipe of the water spray pipe 17, control the cleaning water to spray to the filler through the metal hose 19 and the water spray pipe 17 to the water spray nozzle 18, and restart the cleaning brush 8 to automatically rotate and flush the filler sheet. After the preset flushing time ends, the automatic flushing is completed;

[0045] Step 6 (reverse execution of step 3), the cleaning brush leaves the packing sheet: the PLC control cabinet issues an exit command, and the cleaning brush fixing plate 9 and the cleaning brush 8 as a whole exit the packing sheet of the water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 in the reverse direction of the air flow and return to the initial working state of the first step. At this point, the automatic cleaning process of a water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 is completely completed.

[0046] When the first water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 is cleaned, if the next water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 in the row is to be cleaned, the PLC control cabinet will issue a command for the cleaning brush row 3 to move horizontally left and right, that is, the electric motor drives the brush row horizontal movement gear 11 to move horizontally left and right along the horizontal slide groove 5 to the specified module position. After the stroke position trigger 7 feeds back a signal in place, it indicates that the automatic cleaning device meets the requirements for continuing automatic cleaning, and the above-mentioned first to sixth steps of the cleaning process can be started.

[0047] Repeat the above process until the last water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 of the row is cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the PLC control cabinet issues a reverse movement command for the cleaning brush row 3, and moves the cleaning brush row 3 back to the starting position of the row (the side close to the vertical slide 6). The PLC control cabinet continues to issue a vertical movement command for the cleaning brush row 3, that is, the electric motor drives the brush row vertical movement gear 12 to rotate and insert into the vertical slide 6 and engage, and then moves vertically up and down along the vertical slide 6 to the specified module position. After the stroke position trigger 7 feedbacks the in-place signal, the electric motor drives the brush row horizontal movement gear 11 to rotate and insert into the horizontal slide 5 and engage, and continues to adjust the position along the horizontal slide 5 until the stroke position trigger 7 feedbacks the in-place signal, and then starts to repeat the above cleaning procedure to clean the water film evaporative cooling module unit 2 of another row.

[0048] After all the water film evaporative cooling module units 2 are cleaned, the reverse movement instruction program is used to make the cleaning brush row 3 return to the initial working state of the first step, and then the reverse rotation instruction is used to make the cleaning brush row 3 rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction at the brush row rotating gear 13 at the top of the brush row shaft 4 to restore to the original state of the first step, so that the frame of the cleaning brush row 3 is fixed to the side wall of the water film evaporative air conditioning cooling unit 1.

[0049] The control instructions of the aforementioned steps can be automatically issued by the PLC control cabinet according to the pre-programmed program. If any module is manually selected for cleaning, except for the automatic cleaning work procedures of the first to sixth steps mentioned above which are completed by PLC automatic control, other work procedures can be completed manually on-site on the touch screen of the PLC control cabinet, or they can be automatically controlled after programming.

[0050] The content of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments listed, and any equivalent changes (including changes in the driving mode of the action components) made to the technical solution of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field after reading the specification of the present invention are covered by the claims of the present invention.
