[0036] This embodiment provides a cooling tower 600 reinforcement and repair system. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a suspended platform 100, several anchors 200, a limiting rope 300, and a limiting assembly 400. The suspended platform 100 is used to connect to a cooling tower 600. The anchors 200 are connected to the outer surface of the cooling tower 600. The limiting rope 300 passes through the anchors 200. The limiting assembly 400 includes a limiting lock 410, a connecting rope 420, an adjusting pipe 430, and an adjusting lock 440. The adjusting pipe 430 is provided with an adjusting hole 431. One end of the connecting rope 420 is fixedly connected to the suspended platform 100, passes through the adjusting hole 431 from one end of the adjusting pipe 430, and exits from the other end of the adjusting pipe 430. The adjusting lock 440 is detachably connected to the adjusting pipe 430. The limiting lock 410 is fixedly connected to the connecting rope 420 and is detachably connected to the limiting rope 300.

[0037] Specifically, the suspended platform device 100 is used to allow workers to carry out construction on the surface of the cooling tower 600, the anchor 200 is used to keep the limiting rope 300 close to the outer surface of the cooling tower 600, the limiting component 400 is used to adjust the position of the hoisting device from the cooling tower 600, and the limiting lock 410 is used to connect the limiting rope 300. When the limiting lock 410 falls onto the anchor 200, the limiting lock 410 is removed and reinstalled onto the limiting rope 300 below the anchor 200. Workers can adjust the relative distance between the suspended platform device 100 and the cooling tower 600 by loosening the adjusting lock 440 and pulling the connecting rope 420. The setting of the adjusting hole 431 makes it more convenient to thread the connecting rope 420 through the adjusting pipe 430.

[0038] In this embodiment, the suspended platform device 100 includes a suspension mechanism 110, a suspended platform 120, a hoist 130, a safety lock 140, and an electrical control box 150. The suspension mechanism 110 is installed on the top of the cooling tower 600. The suspended platform 120 is connected to the suspension mechanism 110 via a transmission connection, the hoist 130 is fixedly connected to the suspended platform 120, the safety lock 140 is fixedly connected to the suspended platform 120, and the electrical control box 150 is fixedly connected to the suspended platform 120 and electrically connected to the hoist 130.

[0039] Specifically, the suspension mechanism 110 is responsible for suspending the suspended platform 120 via steel wire rope, the hoist 130 is used to adjust the height of the suspended platform 120, the suspended platform 120 is the work area for the workers, and the safety lock 140 is used to ensure the safety of the workers. When the working steel wire rope breaks or the suspension mechanism 110 tilts to a certain angle, the safety lock 140 can automatically lock the safety steel wire rope to prevent the suspended platform 120 from falling.

[0040] In this embodiment, the suspended platform 120 is provided with a connecting roller group 121, which is tangent to the limiting rope 300. The connecting roller group 121 includes a first connecting roller 122 and a second connecting roller 123. The first connecting roller 122 is located at the upper part of the suspended platform 120, and the second connecting roller 123 is located at the lower part of the suspended platform 120.

[0041] Specifically, the arrangement of the first connecting roller 122 and the second connecting roller 123 allows the connecting rope 420 to move laterally, and at the same time, when the first connecting roller 122 and the second connecting roller 123 come into contact with the cooling tower 600, it is not easy to damage its surface.

[0042] In this embodiment, there are two adjustment holes 431, the adjustment tube 430 is provided with an external thread 432, and the adjustment lock 440 is provided with an internal thread 441. The external thread 432 is adapted to the internal thread 441.

[0043] Specifically, the adjustment hole 431 is provided with two parts that allow the external thread 432 to squeeze the connecting rope 420 more tightly. The external thread 432 and the internal thread 441 work together to make the adjustment lock 440 easier to screw into the adjustment tube 430.

[0044] In this embodiment, the external thread portion 432 is provided with several through grooves 433.

[0045] Specifically, the through groove 433 allows the external thread 432 to clamp the connecting rope 420, and also makes the adjustment lock 440 rotate more easily.

[0046] In this embodiment, the suspended platform 120 is provided with a metal fastener 500; the metal fastener 500 includes a first metal plate 510 and a second metal plate 520; the first metal plate 510 and the second metal plate 520 are hinged together; the first metal plate 510 and the second metal plate 520 are respectively provided with a plurality of grooves 540.

[0047] Specifically, the first metal plate 510 is inserted into the crack of the cooling tower 600, and the second metal plate 520 is attached to the surface of the cooling tower 600. When cement mortar is poured, the cement mortar enters the groove 540, enhancing the reinforcement and repair strength of the cooling tower 600. The first metal plate 510 and the second metal plate 520 are hinged together, which can adapt to various working surfaces of the cooling tower 600 cracks.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first metal plate 510 and the second metal plate 520 are respectively provided with arc-shaped grooves 530.

[0049] Specifically, when the working surface of the cooling tower 600 that needs repair exposes the reinforcing steel, the arc-shaped surface of the first metal plate 510 or the second metal plate 520 can be overlapped with the reinforcing steel and welded to enhance the quality of the reinforcement and repair of the cooling tower 600.

[0050] This embodiment provides a repair method for a cooling tower reinforcement and repair system. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1-4As shown, the procedure includes the following steps: Step 1: The suspension mechanism 110 is installed on the top of the cooling tower 600; Step 2: Anchors 200 are installed on the top, middle, and bottom of the cooling tower 600 respectively, and the limiting rope 300 is threaded onto the anchors 200, with both ends of the limiting rope 300 fixed to the anchors 200 respectively; Step 3: The suspended platform 120 is connected to the suspension mechanism 110 via a wire rope, and the connecting rope 420 is installed on the first connecting roller 122 and the second connecting roller 123, with the connecting rope 420 set to its longest position, and the adjusting lock 440 is installed on the limiting rope 300; Step 4: When the construction surface of the cooling tower 600 is tilted downwards, the operator rotates the adjusting lock 440 installed on the first connecting roller 122 to pull... Step 5: When the construction surface of the cooling tower 600 is tilted upward, the operator rotates the adjusting lock 440 installed on the second connecting roller 123 to pull the connecting rope 420, so that the construction platform 120 is in a construction position perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the adjusting lock 440 is rotated in the opposite direction to lock the connecting rope 420. Step 6: When reinforcing and repairing the cooling tower 600, the impurities on the surface of the cooling tower 600 are cleaned, the first metal plate 510 is inserted into the gap of the cooling tower 600, the second metal plate 520 is rotated to fit together with the cleaned surface of the cooling tower 600, and repair is carried out with cement mortar.

[0051] Specifically, the suspension mechanism 110 is installed on the top of the cooling tower 600, and the anchors 200 are respectively installed on the top, middle and bottom of the cooling tower 600, which allows the limiting rope 300 to better conform to the outer surface curve of the cooling tower 600. The anchors 200 are also provided with rings to facilitate the fitting of the limiting rope 300. The anchors 200 can remain on the surface of the cooling tower 600. The suspended platform 120 is installed on the suspended platform 120 by steel wire ropes, and the connecting rope 420 is installed on the first connecting roller 122 and the second connecting roller 123, which can be adjusted by rotation. Lock 440 pulls the connecting rope 420 to adjust the distance between the suspended platform 120 and the surface of the cooling tower 600. When there are cracks on the surface of the cooling tower 600, clean the concrete near the cracks, insert the first metal plate 510 into the crack, and weld the first metal plate 510 or the second metal plate 520 to the steel bars of the cooling tower 600. Then, apply cement mortar and embed the first metal plate 510 and the second metal plate 520 into the cooling tower 600 to enhance the quality of the reinforcement and repair of the cooling tower 600.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
