Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0019] Figures 1 to 5 The image shows an embodiment of the present invention.
[0020] Example: An automatic dosing device includes a device body 1, a circulation pump 2 installed inside the device body 1, a detection water tank 3 connected to the inlet end of the circulation pump 2, a residual chlorine monitoring sensor 4 installed inside the detection water tank 3, an inlet hose 5 installed on the detection water tank 3, a three-way valve 6 connected to the outlet end of the circulation pump 2, a return water pipe 7 and a dosing pipe 8 respectively connected to the other two ends of the three-way valve 6, a dosing tank 9 installed at the end of the dosing pipe 8 away from the three-way valve 6, a mixing chamber 10 installed inside the dosing tank 9, a storage tank 11 installed on the upper side of the dosing tank 9, a dosing assembly for dosing into the mixing chamber 10 installed inside the storage tank 11, and a return water hose connected to the end of the return water pipe 7 away from the three-way valve 6. This application places the inlet hose 5 and return hose in the external spray water collection pan of the closed-loop cooling tower. This allows water to be drawn directly from the external spray water collection pan into the device body 1 through the inlet hose 5 without opening any holes. The water then flows through the circulation pump 2 and back to the external spray water collection pan through the return pipe 7 and return hose. During this process, chemicals are added to the return pipe 7 via the chemical storage tank 11 and the chemical dosing assembly to increase the chlorine content in the cooling water, thereby achieving a sterilization effect. By setting up a detection water tank 3, residual chlorine can be detected after the water is drawn from the external spray water collection pan of the closed-loop cooling tower to determine whether chemical dosing is necessary. Currently, automatic dosing equipment uses liquid sodium hypochlorite as the oxidizing disinfectant. However, liquid sodium hypochlorite has a short shelf life (approximately 7 days) and its effectiveness decreases by about 50%. Furthermore, it requires large dosages and frequent replenishment, making operation cumbersome. This invention replaces liquid sodium hypochlorite with solid trichloroisocyanuric acid. By installing a residual chlorine detector, circulating water passes through the dosing tank 9 to dissolve the solid disinfectant before entering the closed-loop external spray cooling water system for disinfection. This solves the problems of short shelf life and frequent replenishment of liquid sodium hypochlorite.
[0021] An elastic diaphragm 12 is installed inside the dosing tank 9. A pushing chamber 13 and a mixing chamber 10 are located on either side of the elastic diaphragm 12. A first electric push rod 14 is installed in the pushing chamber 13 of the dosing tank 9. The output shaft of the first electric push rod 14 faces the mixing chamber 10. A push plate 15 is installed at the end of the output shaft of the first electric push rod 14, and the push plate 15 is connected to the elastic diaphragm 12 within the pushing chamber 13. When dosing is required, the first electric push rod 14 is controlled to move the elastic diaphragm 12. During this movement, the volume of the mixing chamber 10 changes, causing circulating water to enter the mixing chamber 10. When the volume of the mixing chamber 10 increases, the circulating water entering the mixing chamber 10 mixes and dissolves with the chemicals added by the dosing assembly. After mixing, the volume of the mixing chamber 10 is reduced to allow the mixed circulating water to enter the external spray water collection tray of the closed cooling tower. By setting the push plate 15, it is easier to drive the elastic diaphragm 12 to control the volume of the mixing chamber 10.
[0022] The dosing assembly includes a second electric push rod 19. A connecting block 16 is provided on the upper side of the dosing tank 9. A connecting groove 17 with its opening facing downward is provided on the lower side of the connecting block 16. The groove of the connecting groove 17 is connected to the mixing chamber 10. The lower end of the storage tank 11 is connected to the connecting groove 17 through a connecting pipe 18. The second electric push rod 19 is vertically installed in the storage tank 11 through a mounting bracket 20. The output end of the second electric push rod 19 is set downward, and a number of drug delivery rings 21 are arranged vertically and vertically around the outer wall of the output end of the second electric push rod 19. An electric cover plate is provided at the connection between the lower end of the connecting pipe 18 and the connecting groove 17. During the dosing process, the second electric push rod 19 controls the delivery ring 21 to move up and down within the connecting pipe 18. When it moves down, the delivery ring 21 is placed in the storage tank 11, and the medicine in the storage tank 11 enters between two adjacent delivery rings 21. After the delivery ring 21 passes through the connecting pipe 18, the medicine between the delivery rings 21 falls from between the delivery rings 21 into the connecting groove 17, and then enters the mixing chamber 10 from the opening of the connecting groove 17 to mix with the circulating water in the mixing chamber 10.
[0023] The electric cover includes a fixing ring 22 and a cover body 23. The fixing ring 22 is arranged around the connecting pipe 18 at the bottom of the connecting groove 17. One side of the cover body 23 is rotatably connected to the lower edge of the fixing ring 22 via a torsion spring hinge 24. A mounting ring groove 25 is provided around the lower side of the fixing ring 22, and an electromagnet 26 is installed in the mounting ring groove 25. An adsorption ring is provided on the upper side of the cover body 23 corresponding to the position of the electromagnet 26, which is magnetically attracted to the electromagnet 26 when it is energized. When the output shaft of the second electric push rod 19 retracts into the medicine storage tank 11 or the connecting pipe 18, the torsion spring hinge 24 will drive the cover body 23 to block the lower side of the fixing ring 22, and cooperate with the electromagnet 26 to fix the cover body 23, thus preventing circulating water from entering the medicine storage tank 11. When it is necessary to add medicine, the power to the electromagnet 26 is disconnected, allowing the output shaft of the second electric push rod 19 to smoothly enter the connecting groove 17.
[0024] The delivery ring 21 is inclined downwards from the inner wall to the outer wall. This design allows the medicine between the delivery rings 21 to fall more easily into the mixing chamber 10.
[0025] The upper side of the detection water tank 3 is provided with a mounting hole 27. A locking ring 28 is provided on the upper side of the detection water tank 3 at the position of the mounting hole 27. An installation tube 29 is installed inside the detection water tank 3 at the position of the mounting hole 27. A sealing cross valve 30 is provided at the lower end of the installation tube 29. An installation rod 31 is installed inside the installation tube 29. The lower end of the installation rod 31 is placed below the installation tube 29. The residual chlorine monitoring sensor 4 is installed at the lower end of the installation rod 31. The outer wall of the upper end of the installation rod 31 is connected to the inner wall of the locking ring 28 by a threaded connection. A sealing ring 32 is provided on the upper side of the locking ring 28 of the installation rod 31. This design facilitates the disassembly of the residual chlorine monitoring sensor 4 during use. When installing the residual chlorine monitoring sensor 4, the mounting rod 31 is directly inserted into the detection water tank 3 from the installation tube 29. The sealing cross valve 30 is used to fit against the outer wall of the mounting rod 31 to achieve a sealing effect, preventing water leakage inside and outside the water tank. At the same time, when disassembling the residual chlorine monitoring sensor 4, after the mounting rod 31 is pulled out, the sealing cross valve 30 can automatically close to achieve a sealing effect.
[0026] A Y-type filter 33, a flow switch 34, and a return water manual valve 35 are sequentially installed on the return water pipe 7. A drain pipe 36 is connected between the return water manual valve 35 and the flow switch 34. A drain manual valve 37 is installed on the drain pipe 36, and a chemical dosing port 38 is provided on the drain pipe 36, which is sealed with a sealing plug. The Y-type filter 33 can filter the circulating water to a certain extent. The flow switch 34 can monitor the circulation flow of the circulating pump 2. The return water manual valve 35 can easily control the opening and closing of the return water pipe 7. The drain pipe 36 facilitates drainage during cleaning, and the chemical dosing port 38 allows for the addition of chemicals to the discharged water, achieving a pollution-free treatment effect.
