Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooling tower technology, and more specifically to a cooling tower. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the energy conversion efficiency of the power industry is generally low, resulting in significant waste of heat, electricity, and water energy, making energy conservation, emission reduction, and clean development particularly important. Thermal power plants typically consume a large amount of water, often accounting for up to 45% of industrial water consumption. The water consumption of thermal power is about six times that of raw coal, and the discharge of industrial wastewater is also high. With water scarcity, rising water prices and sewage fees, and increasingly stringent wastewater discharge controls, water conservation in power plants has become a pressing issue.

[0003] Cooling towers are widely used in industrial and agricultural production and daily life because they provide the cooling water needed for our production and daily life, and are usually used to reduce the heat generated in production and daily life processes. With the continuous development of the power industry and the increasing demand for energy conservation and environmental protection, the cooling performance of cooling towers needs to be improved with the development of technology, making large cooling tower structures highly sought after.

[0004] Cooling towers typically use reinforced concrete structures. As large cooling towers become taller and the construction process becomes more complex, the cost of the structure also increases. At the same time, reinforced concrete towers are too heavy and bulky, resulting in poor stability and severe vibration. In particular, the existing cooling towers have a hyperbolic paraboloid shape, which poses a huge challenge to the formwork construction of concrete cooling towers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of existing reinforced concrete cooling towers, such as complex process, high cost, bulky and heavy, poor stability and difficult formwork construction, so as to provide a cooling tower.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a cooling tower comprising a ring-shaped support structure, at least one functional ring, a cooling device, and at least three first cables. The ring-shaped support structure includes at least three support columns and at least one load-bearing cable. The support columns are inclinedly connected to the ground, and the at least three support columns are arranged in a ring-shaped, inverted frustum shape. The load-bearing cable is sequentially connected to the at least three support columns. At least one functional ring is disposed inside the ring-shaped support structure. The cooling device is disposed on the functional ring. One end of each of the at least three first cables is connected to the top of the functional ring, and the other end extends obliquely upward and connects to the support column. Each support column is matched with at least one first cable.

[0007] The cooling tower provided by this invention has a steel support column;

[0009] The cooling tower provided by the present invention has at least two layers of functional rings arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The functional ring at the top layer is connected to the top of at least three support columns by at least three first cables. Adjacent functional rings are connected by at least three second cables, and a load-bearing cable is matched to the side of each functional ring layer.

[0010] The cooling tower provided by the present invention has a set of first cables corresponding to each functional ring. The connection positions of each set of first cables on the support column are spaced apart along the height direction of the support column, and each set of first cables on the support column is matched with a load-bearing cable at the connection position.

[0011] The cooling tower provided by the present invention includes a first condenser and a second condenser connected in sequence. The first condenser is disposed on the functional ring located at the bottom layer to form a first condensation ring, and the second condenser is disposed on the functional ring one layer above the first condenser to form a second condensation ring.

[0012] The cooling tower provided by the present invention further includes:

[0013] A circulating water pump is installed on the functional ring one layer above the second condenser to form a power ring;

[0014] An alkaline electrolyzer is disposed on the functional ring one layer above the circulating water pump to form a hydrogen energy ring;

[0015] The circulating water pump is used to distribute the condensate collected by the second condenser to the alkaline electrolytic cell and / or the domestic water pipe.

[0016] The cooling tower provided by the present invention further includes:

[0017] Photovoltaic modules are connected above the ring-shaped support structure;

[0018] A controller is installed on the functional ring on the upper layer of the alkaline electrolytic cell to form a control ring. The controller is connected to the photovoltaic module, the circulating water pump, the alkaline electrolytic cell and the cooling equipment, and distributes the electricity generated by the photovoltaic module to the circulating water pump, the alkaline electrolytic cell and the cooling equipment.

[0019] The cooling tower provided by the present invention further includes a cleaning device disposed on the annular support structure. The cleaning device is electrically connected to the photovoltaic module, communicatively connected to the controller, and connected to the cooling equipment through the circulating water pump. It is suitable for automatically cleaning the photovoltaic panels of the photovoltaic module under the control of the controller.

[0020] The cooling tower provided by the present invention further includes at least two stiffening cables, which are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the ring-shaped support structure, and each stiffening cable is sequentially connected to at least three support columns to form a ring;

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a cooling tower, including an annular support structure 1, at least one functional ring 2, a cooling device, and at least three first cables 3. The annular support structure 1 includes at least three support columns 101 and at least one load-bearing cable 102. The support columns 101 are inclinedly connected to the ground, and the at least three support columns 101 are arranged in an inverted frustum shape with an annular interval. The load-bearing cable 102 is sequentially connected to the at least three support columns 101. At least one functional ring 2 is disposed inside the annular support structure 1. The cooling device is disposed on the functional ring 2. One end of the at least three first cables 3 is connected to the top of the functional ring 2, and the other end extends obliquely upward and is connected to the support column 101. Each support column 101 is matched with at least one first cable 3.

[0041] The ring-shaped support structure 1 includes at least three support columns 101 and at least one load-bearing cable 102, eliminating the need for traditional reinforced concrete structures. This simplifies construction and does not increase the difficulty of building even large cooling towers. Cooling equipment and other functional devices are mounted on a functional ring 2, which is connected to the support columns 101 via a first cable 3. This connection method and process are simple, resulting in lower structural costs. Furthermore, the at least three support columns 101 are arranged in a ring-shaped, inverted frustum configuration. Each support column 101 tilts outwards, forming an acute angle with the ground beneath it. The weight of each support column 101 generates an outward first horizontal force. The functional ring 2, located inside the ring-shaped support structure 1 via the first cable 3, generates an inward second horizontal force. The first and second horizontal forces are opposite in direction and cancel each other out, forming a self-balancing system that ensures good stability of the cooling tower structure.

[0042] Specifically, the number of support columns 101 can be determined based on the weight of at least one layer of functional rings 2. The heavier the weight of at least one layer of functional rings 2, the more functional rings 2 there are, and the more support columns 101 there are. The shape of at least one layer of functional rings 2 matches the shape of the annular support structure 1, and the distance from the top of the functional ring 2 to the same height of the support column 101 is equal, so that the tension on the first cable 3 is uniform. At least three first cables 3 are distributed in a ring-shaped interval, which can apply a relatively uniform tension to the functional rings 2 in the circumferential direction.

[0043] Furthermore, both the load-bearing cable 102 and the first tension cable 3 can be steel cables.

[0044] In this embodiment, the support column 101 is a steel column; its structure is simple, can be prefabricated in a factory, and can be installed on site without the need for on-site casting or construction. The support column 101 is fixed to the ground via an external steel joint base. As an alternative implementation, the support column 101 can also be a columnar structure made of reinforced concrete. The support column 101 can be a cylindrical column, or a columnar structure with a triangular, quadrilateral, or other shaped cross-section.

[0045] In this embodiment, the support column 101 has a protruding lug, and the lug has a first connecting hole. The load-bearing cable 102 passes through each of the first connecting holes in sequence to form a ring. The lug can be located in the inner ring of the ring-shaped support structure 1 or in the outer ring of the ring-shaped support structure 1. Alternatively, the support column 101 has a protruding snap-fit ​​groove, and the load-bearing cable 102 passes through each snap-fit ​​groove in sequence to form a ring. The snap-fit ​​groove is located in the outer ring of the ring-shaped support structure 1. Alternatively, the support column 101 has a limiting groove, and the limiting groove is located in the outer ring of the ring-shaped support structure 1. The load-bearing cable 102 passes through each limiting groove in sequence to form a ring. The support column 101 also has a first lifting ring, and the functional ring 2 has a second lifting ring. The two ends of the first cable 3 are connected to the first lifting ring and the second lifting ring, respectively.

[0046] In this embodiment, the angle between the support column 101 and the ground below it is α, and the angle α satisfies 50°≤α≤80°. Specifically, in one embodiment, the angle α between the support column 101 and the ground below it is 50°; in another embodiment, the angle α between the support column 101 and the ground below it is 80°; in a preferred embodiment, the angle α between the support column 101 and the ground below it is 60°.

[0047] In this embodiment, the functional ring 2 has at least two layers arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The top functional ring 2 is connected to the top of at least three support columns 101 via at least three first cables 3. Adjacent functional ring layers 2 are connected by at least three second cables 4. Each layer of functional ring 2 has a load-bearing cable 102 on its side. The second cables 4 can connect at least two layers of functional ring 2 sequentially from top to bottom, with only the top functional ring 2 connected by the first cables 3, or each layer of functional ring 2 connected by a corresponding first cable 3. The number and position of the second cables 4 match the number and position of the first cables 3; or, the number of second cables 4 is the same as the number of first cables 3, and the positions of the second cables 4 and the first cables 3 are staggered. The cross-sectional area of ​​the outer ring of the lower functional ring 2 is smaller than that of the outer ring of the upper functional ring 2, matching the inverted frustum-shaped ring support structure 1, ensuring that the distance between each layer of functional ring 2 and the support column 101 is equal. Each functional ring 2 is equipped with a third lifting ring, and the two ends of the second cable 4 are connected to the two adjacent functional rings 2 through the third lifting rings.

[0048] In a further embodiment of this example, each functional ring 2 corresponds to a set of first cables 3, so that each functional ring 2 is individually connected to the support column 101, making the connection more stable and less prone to shaking. The connection positions of each set of first cables 3 on the support column 101 are spaced apart along the height direction of the support column 101, and the lengths of each set of first cables 3 are equal, resulting in uniform stress distribution, and cables of uniform length can be prepared. Furthermore, each connection position of the first cables 3 on the support column 101 is matched with a load-bearing cable 102, increasing the strength of the ring-shaped support structure 1 and preventing local bending of the support column 101.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cooling device includes a first condenser 202 and a second condenser 203 connected in sequence. The first condenser 202 is disposed on the bottom functional ring 2 to form a first condensation ring 5, and the second condenser 203 is disposed on the functional ring 2 one layer above the first condenser 202 to form a second condensation ring 6. The first condenser 202 is connected to the outlet of the power plant via a pipeline, which extends through the gap between the bottoms of the support columns 101. The first condenser 202 collects hot water steam and performs initial cooling. The second condenser 203 can continue to cool the steam and collect the condensate formed by the steam. The first condenser 202 and the second condenser 203 are connected by a pipeline.

[0050] As an alternative implementation, both the first condenser 202 and the second condenser 203 can be located on the bottom functional ring 2. Alternatively, only the first condenser 202 can be provided for cooling and collecting the condensate from the steam.

[0051] The cooling tower in this embodiment also includes a circulating water pump and an alkaline electrolyzer. The circulating water pump is installed on the functional ring 2 above the second condenser 203 to form a power ring 7; the alkaline electrolyzer is installed on the functional ring 2 above the circulating water pump to form a hydrogen energy ring 8. The circulating water pump is used to distribute the condensate collected by the second condenser 203 to the alkaline electrolyzer and / or domestic water pipes. The condensate is relatively clean and can be distributed to the alkaline electrolyzer for hydrogen electrolysis, and the hydrogen energy can be stored in a hydrogen storage center through a hydrogen pipeline, achieving hydrogen-oxygen separation. The condensate can also be used as a water source for domestic water pipes. The circulating water pump provides power for the further use of the condensate, and can transport the condensate to corresponding equipment for utilization.

[0052] The cooling tower in this embodiment also includes a photovoltaic module 9 and a controller. The photovoltaic module 9 is connected above the annular support structure 1. The photovoltaic module 9 is ring-shaped and is correspondingly arranged on the outer periphery of at least two functional rings 2. It can both enclose the functional rings 2 to isolate dust, save on enclosure and maintenance structures, reduce costs, and generate photovoltaic power to increase revenue, thus saving energy and protecting the environment. Compared with the traditional enclosure and maintenance structure of purlins and color plates, the photovoltaic module 9 is lighter, reducing the load on the cooling tower and further optimizing the overall steel consumption. The hot water input pipe of the cooling equipment can be connected to the power generation equipment through the gap between the support columns 101 below the photovoltaic module 9; the hydrogen transportation pipe of the hydrogen energy ring 8 can also be connected to the hydrogen storage center through the gap between the support columns 101 below the photovoltaic module 9. The photovoltaic module 9 and the traditional controller are set on the functional ring 2 on the upper layer of the alkaline electrolytic cell to form a control ring 10. The controller is connected to the photovoltaic module 9, the circulating water pump, the alkaline electrolytic cell and the cooling equipment. The power generated by the photovoltaic module 9 is distributed to the circulating water pump, the alkaline electrolytic cell and the cooling equipment to realize the rational use of the power of the photovoltaic module 9 and achieve the effect of energy saving.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic module 9 has undergone wind tunnel testing and exhibits excellent wind resistance. Therefore, the safety of the photovoltaic module 9 itself does not need to be considered in structural calculations, and no additional protective measures are required during transportation and hoisting, which helps to accelerate construction and save costs. Furthermore, the photovoltaic module 9 in this embodiment generates significant electricity, which can be used for hydrogen production in an alkaline electrolyzer and to provide power for the circulation pump, achieving zero carbon emissions.

[0054] The cooling tower in this embodiment also includes a cleaning device 11, which is mounted on the annular support structure 1. The cleaning device 11 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic module 9, communicatively connected to the controller, and connected to the cooling equipment via the circulating water pump. It is adapted to automatically clean the photovoltaic panels of the photovoltaic module 9 under the control of the controller. The cleaning device 11 includes a ring-shaped cleaning pipe, which is located on top of the photovoltaic module 9 and has multiple nozzles spaced circumferentially. The cleaning pipe is connected to the cooling equipment via the circulating water pump, allowing the condensate from the cooling equipment to be recycled for cleaning the photovoltaic module 9. The circulating water pump provides power for the further use of the condensate, and can transport the condensate to the alkaline electrolysis tank and / or domestic water pipes and / or the cleaning device 11 for recycling.

[0055] The cooling tower in this embodiment also includes at least two stiffening cables 12, spaced apart along the axial direction of the annular support structure 1. Each stiffening cable 12 is sequentially connected to at least three support columns 101 to form a ring; the stiffening cables 12 further enhance the strength of the annular support structure 1. The photovoltaic module 9 includes a plurality of photovoltaic panels, which are sequentially distributed along the inner ring of the annular support structure 1. The photovoltaic panels are detachably connected to at least two sets of fastening components 13 and at least two stiffening cables 12. The photovoltaic panels can also be connected and fixed. Specifically, the stiffening cables 12 are flexible steel cables.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the fastening assembly 13 includes a U-shaped clamp and a fastening nut. The two ends of the U-shaped clamp are threaded. The U-shaped clamp is wound around the stiffening cable 12 and then passes through the photovoltaic panel to connect with the fastening nut. Preferably, there may be two fastening nuts.

[0057] The cooling tower in this embodiment also includes an elevator 14 and at least one connecting channel 15. The elevator 14 is located in the inner ring of the functional ring 2; the at least one connecting channel 15 connects the elevator 14 and the functional ring 2, and each floor of the functional ring 2 is equipped with at least one connecting channel 15. The arrangement of the elevator 14 and the connecting channel 15 realizes the connection between the functional rings 2 at each floor, and operators and maintenance personnel can enter the functional rings 2 at each floor through the elevator 14 for inspection and maintenance.

[0058] Functional ring 2 contains functional equipment, which may be at least one of the following: a first condenser 202, a second condenser 203, a circulating water pump, an alkaline electrolytic cell, and a controller. Functional ring 2 has a housing, and the bottom of the housing typically houses a cable tray 204. The functional equipment may also be ring-shaped and positioned above the cable tray 204. A maintenance walkway 201 is provided on the side of the functional equipment. Figure 4As shown, the structure and connection method of the functional ring 2 are illustrated using the connection between the first condensing ring 5 and the second condensing ring 6 as an example. The first condensing ring 5 contains a first condenser 202, the shape of which matches the shape of the shell of the first condensing ring 5. A cable tray 204 is located below the first condenser 202, and a maintenance walkway 201 is located on the side of the first condenser 202. The second condensing ring 6 contains a second condenser 203, the shape of which matches the shape of the shell of the second condensing ring 6. A cable tray 204 is located below the second condenser 203, and a maintenance walkway 201 is located on the side of the second condenser 203.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the annular support structure 1 is formed into an inverted frustum shape, and the functional rings 2 are all circular ring structures with a circular cross-section. The first condenser 202 and / or the second condenser 203 and / or the circulating water pump and / or the alkaline electrolytic cell can all be matching circular ring structures.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
