In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, device, product or terminal that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally further includes steps or units not listed, or optionally further includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or terminals.

[0023] Reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] The present invention discloses a specific implementation manner of a cooling tower packing installation tooling. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the tooling includes a top frame 2 and a bottom frame 1 located below the top frame 2. There are two first columns 3 and a plurality of second columns 4 between the top frame 2 and the bottom frame 1. The first columns 3 and the second columns 4 are both vertically installed relative to the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2.

[0025] As an improvement, the two first columns 3 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bottom frame 1. The plurality of second columns 4 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bottom frame 1. The top ends of each of the first columns 3 and the second columns 4 are fixedly connected to the top frame 2, and the bottom ends of each of the first columns 3 and the second columns 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom frame 1. As a preferred solution, between the first column 3 and the bottom frame 1, between the first column 3 and the bottom frame 1, between the second column 4 and the bottom frame 1, and between the second column 4 and the top frame 2, bolted detachable fixed installation is adopted. This fixed installation method facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the tooling and can be adapted to the installation of various different specifications of packing by replacing frames or columns of different specifications.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of mounting holes 31 for inserting an external support member 72 are formed in the side surfaces of each of the first columns 3 at intervals along the length direction of the first column 3. The first column 3 is the main component for limiting the external support member 72. Thus, the cross-sectional area of the first column 3 is larger than that of the second column 4, which can ensure the working stability of the tooling and a long service life. As a preferred solution, the number of the first columns 3 is two, and the number of the second columns 4 can be selectively set according to actual needs, and can be two, four, six, seven, etc.

[0027] As a preferred solution, the bottom frame 1 includes a pair of bottom support beams 11 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Two bottom cross beams 12 are provided between the two bottom support beams 11. One end of each bottom cross beam 12 is fixedly connected to one of the bottom support beams 11, and the other end of each bottom cross beam 12 is fixedly connected to the other bottom support beam 11. The bottom surface of the bottom cross beam 12 can be flush with the bottom surface of the bottom support beam 11 or staggered in the height direction, which can be determined according to specific working conditions. Similarly, the top cross beam 22 includes a pair of top support beams 21 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Two top cross beams 22 are provided between the two top support beams 21. One end of each top cross beam 22 is fixedly connected to one of the top support beams 21, and the other end of each top cross beam 22 is fixedly connected to the other top support beam 21. It should be noted that the number of the bottom cross beams 12 and the number of the top cross beams 22 can be selectively set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2 are integrally arranged in a rectangular shape. In other embodiments, the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2 can be in other shapes such as triangular, polygonal, etc., as long as sufficient supporting force can be provided.

[0028] In order to prevent tipping during the packing assembly process, two side support members 13 are further provided on the bottom frame 1. In other embodiments, the number of the side support members 13 can be selectively set according to actual needs. Specifically, during the packing assembly process, the weight of the packing will be concentrated on the side of the tooling. The side support member 13 is perpendicular to the bottom support beam 11 (the bottom support beam 11 close to the packing installation) of the bottom frame 1, so that the side support member 13 can play a role in preventing tipping. In this embodiment, each side support member 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the bottom support beam 11, and each side support member 13 extends outward toward the side of the bottom support beam 11. In other embodiments, the bottom support beam 11 can also be fixedly installed perpendicular to the side surface of the bottom support beam 11, as long as an effective support can be formed on the side of the bottom frame 1.

[0029] To further improve the overall structural strength of the tooling, the tooling is also provided with a plurality of diagonal braces 5. One end of the diagonal brace 5 is connected to the top frame 2, and the other end can be fixedly connected to the first upright column 3 or the second upright column 4; alternatively, one end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom frame 1, and the other end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the first upright column 3 or the second upright column 4. Or, one end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the top frame 2, and the other end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom frame 1. The number and position of the diagonal braces 5 can be selectively set according to actual needs, and can be two, four, five, etc. Two adjacent diagonal braces 5 can be parallel to each other, mirror images of each other, or centrosymmetric to each other.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the first upright column 3, the diagonal brace 5, the second upright column 4, the top support beam 21, the top cross beam 22, the bottom support beam 11, and the bottom cross beam 12 are all set in a U shape. This structure of the profile is easy to obtain and prepare, can reduce the production cost of the tooling, reduce the production difficulty of the tooling, and has a long service life, and is more convenient and fast for maintenance and overhaul.

[0031] To make the packing installation process more convenient, the tooling further includes an auxiliary support 8 located outside the bottom frame 1 and used to support the external support member 72. The auxiliary support 8 includes a base 81 and a support rod 82 vertically and fixedly installed on the base 81. A plurality of support members 83 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the support rod 82 are fixedly installed on the support rod 82, and the height positions of the respective support members 83 can be adjusted so as to be suitable for use in different scenarios
