The double-leaf shutter door 2 has a door leaf 3 and a door frame 10, and the door leaf 3 has a first shutter;

[0049] The double-leaf shutter door 2 is a bi-directional double-leaf door and / or a folding double-leaf door, wherein the two door leaves 3 of the bi-directional double-leaf door are rotatably connected to the door frame 10 respectively; the two door leaves 3 of the folding double-leaf door are hinged, and both door leaves 3 are slidably arranged on the track of the door frame 10.

[0050] Before opening the shutter door, first adjust the shutter opening to 90° to reduce the wind load on the door leaf 3.

[0051] The double-leaf shutter door 2 is a bi-directional double-leaf door and / or a folding double-leaf door, wherein the two door leaves 3 of the bi-directional double-leaf door are rotatably connected to the door frame 10 respectively; the two door leaves 3 of the folding double-leaf door are hinged, and both door leaves 3 are slidably arranged on the track of the door frame 10.

[0052] After the two door leaves 3 of the double-leaf door are opened, they are respectively in contact with the adjacent door leaves and fixed by the concave latch 5 to form a triangular structure; after the two door leaves 3 of the folding double-leaf door are folded, the concave latch 5 is fixed to form a triangular structure. The door frame 10 is arranged on the annular pillar outside the cooling triangle pillar of the air cooling tower, and the door frame 10 is arranged to be the height of the annular pillar or less than the height of the annular pillar. The part other than the door frame 10 on the annular pillar is provided with a second shutter, and the second shutter is arranged at the upper part or the lower part of the door frame 10.

[0053] Specifically, when the double-leaf shutter door 2 is closed, the door leaf 3 is built into the ring tower door frame 10 outside the tower body 1 or suspended outside the door frame 10; when the double-leaf shutter door 2 is fully opened, the door leaves 3 are back to back to form a stable triangular structure. Or the double-leaf shutter door 2 is a folding door.

[0054] Described double leaf shutter door 2 can be used in combination with shutter. For existing shutter, only need to transform the 2 / 3 part of its lower part into double leaf shutter door 2, be equipped with door frame 10 etc.

[0055] The double-leaf shutter door 2 is equipped with a door rotating shaft 6, a door latch 7, a door handrail 8 or a door leaf X support 11, a universal wheel 9, a rubber ring strip 12 and a shutter opening operation panel 14, etc.

[0056] The two door leaves 3 of the split double-leaf door are connected to the door frame 10 via the door rotation axis 6; the two door leaves 3 of the folding double-leaf door are connected to each other via the door rotation axis 6;

[0057] The bottoms of the two door leaves 3 of the double-leaf door are both provided with mounting grooves for mounting universal wheels 9. The double-leaf shutter door 2 is equipped with a threshold 13 when suspended.

[0058] The shutter door 3 can be installed with either vertical shutters or horizontal shutters. One or the other must be selected. Vertical shutters are used for direct air cooling towers, and horizontal shutters are used for indirect air cooling towers. A universal wheel is installed on each side of the lower part of the vertical shutter blades. The universal wheel can roll along a smooth horizontal surface to reduce the resistance when the shutter blades rotate.

[0059] The shutter door leaf 3 is equipped with a concave latch 5.

[0060] The universal wheel 9 is inserted into the door leaf 3, and is inserted only before opening and closing the door. After closing the door and opening the door in place, the universal wheel 9 should be pulled out of the inventory; the shutter opening operation plate 14 includes: a pin 15, an operating handle 16, a handle hollow bar hole 17 and an opening connecting rod 18.

[0061] The door latch 7 and the door handrail 8 are arranged at the closed contact point of the two door leaves 3. A rubber ring strip is also arranged at the connection between the door leaf 3 and the door frame 10. The threshold 13 is arranged on the door frame 10 at the bottom of the door leaf 3.

[0062] The double-leaf shutter door 2 also has a door leaf X support 11, which is arranged outside the first shutter on the door leaf 3. The door leaf X support 11 is composed of two mutually intersecting support members, and the ends of the support members are bent for insertion into the connecting holes. An X-shaped diagonal brace is arranged along the diagonal line of the outer side of the door to prevent deformation of the door. The X-shaped diagonal brace cannot affect the free opening of the shutter blades.

[0063] The double-leaf shutter door 2 also has a shutter opening operating disk 14; the shutter opening operating disk 14 includes a semicircular dial, a pin 15, an operating handle 16, a handle hollow bar hole 17 and an opening connecting rod 18; the operating handle 16 is arranged radially along the semicircular dial, and one end of the operating handle 16 is fixed at the center of the semicircular dial by the pin 15; the other end of the operating handle 16 is provided with a handle hollow bar hole 17, and the handle hollow bar hole 17 is arranged on the scale of the semicircular dial; a plurality of locking pins 19 for passing through the handle hollow bar holes 17 are arranged on the scale of the semicircular dial; one end of the opening connecting rod 18 is hinged to the operating handle 16, and the other end is hinged to the first shutter.

[0064] The shutter door support frame can rotate around the vertical axis outside the tower (i.e., the Z axis). When the shutter door needs to be anti-freezing in winter, the door is closed; when the shutter door does not need to be anti-freezing in summer, the door is opened. After opening the door, the adjacent door leaves are back to back and fixed with concave latches to form a stable triangle to resist wind loads. At this time, all the shutters in the door should be locked to the maximum opening.

[0065] If necessary, a combination of doors and windows can be used, with shutters installed above the shutter doors to lower the door height.

[0066] For direct air-cooling towers, vertical louvers are used, and two universal wheels are installed at the bottom of the louvers, which can roll along a smooth horizontal surface to reduce the resistance of the louvers when they rotate. (Before the submission of this application, only indirect air-cooling towers were put into operation, and no direct air-cooling towers were built and put into operation. The world's first direct air-cooling tower is scheduled to be put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2022 at the 2×600MW Yanghuopan Power Plant of Shenmu Yulin, Shaanxi.)

[0067] For indirect air-cooled towers, the current scheme of using horizontal louvers is maintained.

[0068] Use the door frame to support the shutters and doors, and squeeze the sealing rubber strips around the door. To reduce rubber aging, the hollow round sealing ring strips can be removed in summer. It is also possible to design only shock-absorbing rubber pads without sealing strips.

[0069] The door has two types of closed states:

[0070] The first form is that when closed, the door leaf is placed in the door frame, such as Figure 7 As shown;

[0071] The second form is that when closed, the door leaf is suspended outside the door frame, such as Fig.12 The suspended door leaves can create a three-dimensional layered aesthetic feeling for the building.

[0072] In addition, double-leaf shutter doors can also use the folding door technology, but the cost may be higher.

[0073] The double-leaf shutter door 2 adopts a folding process. When the double-leaf shutter door 2 is fully opened, the door leaf 3 can be folded into a stable triangular structure. Universal wheels 9 are arranged at the top and bottom of the two door leaves 3 of the folding double-leaf door. As the door rotating shaft 6 rotates, the universal wheels 9 slide in the U-shaped grooves at the top and bottom of the door to fold the door.

[0074] In addition, preferably, the present invention also has the following structural features:

[0075] (1) The structure of shutter doors and shutter windows is that the door is at the bottom and the window is at the top, which makes it easy to open the door; the window is fixed and is not considered to be opened.

[0076] (2) Universal wheels are temporarily installed under the double-leaf doors to assist in opening and closing the doors, and the universal wheels roll on the ground.

[0077] (3) Two universal wheels are installed at the bottom of the vertical louver to provide resistance when the louver rotates.

[0078] (4) The folding door has sliders in the upper and lower door slots, which are replaced by universal wheels in this application. Sliders should be used instead in actual construction.

[0079] Example

[0080] Ningxia Jingneng Shuidonggou 2×600MW indirect air cooling was put into operation in June 2011. If the shutters of its air cooling towers are modified according to the present invention, the investment in the modification of the two towers is about 2×1.12 million yuan. After the modification, 2g / kW.h of coal can be saved, and the cost of coal saved each year is 2×1.35 million yuan.

[0081] The reconstruction plan is: the upper 8 meters of the 24-meter-high cooling column still use the original shutters, and the lower 16 meters are changed to shutter doors. There are 177 cooling columns in a single tower, and 88 doors + 1 adjustment door (or no reconstruction, still use shutters), a total of 176 door leaves, door leaf size B×H=3×16m, suspended door leaves, use existing horizontal shutters, and do not shorten the length of the shutter leaves. The radius from the door to the center of the tower can also be increased to increase the position and size for installing the door frame.
