Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cooling towers, in particular to the technical field of air inlet fence design, and specifically to an air inlet fence in a cooling tower. Background Art

[0002] The function of the air inlet grille located above the water tank around the bottom of the cooling tower is to prevent the spray water inside the cooling tower from splashing out and reduce the water consumption of the cooling tower. The existing air inlet grille usually adopts a louver-type grille. Whether it is a single-layer louver or a double-layer louver arranged crosswise with each other, the efficiency of intercepting the spray water is poor. The spray water will splash out from the gaps between the louvers, and after long-term use, dust accumulation or debris such as fallen leaves will block the local air duct and affect the air intake efficiency of the cooling tower. However, cleaning is more troublesome, and sometimes the louvers need to be disassembled and assembled. Because the louvers are mostly thin and low in strength, violent washing can easily cause the louvers to deform and reduce their lifespan. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an air inlet fence in a cooling tower to solve the difficulties of the prior art.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the utility model provides an air inlet fence in a cooling tower, comprising:

[0005] Grille square plate 1;

[0006] Air inlet slots 2, the air inlet slots 2 are arranged in an array with equal spacing on one side of the grille square plate 1;

[0007] The air outlet slots 3 are arranged in an array with equal spacing on a side of the grille square plate 1 away from the air inlet slot 2, and each row of the air outlet slots 3 is arranged below the corresponding air inlet slot 2, and the air outlet slots 3 are communicated with the bottom of the air inlet slot 2.

[0008] According to a preferred embodiment, U-shaped channel steels 4 are provided around the grid square plate 1 through bolt connection, and tower body connection holes 5 are provided at equal intervals on the left and right sides of the U-shaped channel steel 4 .

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment, the air inlet slot 2 is hexagonal, the air inlet slot 2 is tilted downward, the top inclination angle of the air inlet slot 2 is greater than the bottom inclination angle, and the bottom inner diameter of the air inlet slot 2 is smaller than the top inner diameter of the air inlet slot 2.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment, the air outlet slot 3 is hexagonal, and is tilted upward. The top tilt angle of the air outlet slot 3 is smaller than the bottom tilt angle, and the top inner diameter of the air outlet slot 3 is smaller than the bottom inner diameter of the air inlet slot 2 .

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, the depth of the air inlet slot 2 is the same as the depth of the air outlet slot 3 .

[0012] The utility model adopts a grille square plate, an air inlet slot, an air outlet slot and a U-shaped channel steel. The inclined channel composed of the air outlet slot and the air inlet slot can guide the air flow entering the cooling tower to enhance the air intake effect, and the inclined direction of the channel makes the coolant sprayed out splash into the air outlet slot on the side of the grille square plate close to the inner side of the tower body, and the coolant will roll back into the cooling tower along the slot wall. Because there is no interception gap, the interception effect of the spray water is good, and the air duct composed of the air outlet slot and the air inlet slot has a large inner diameter at both ends and a small inner diameter in the middle, so that the air flow entering the outside of the cooling tower is first compressed and then released, which can speed up the gas flow rate and reduce the air flow temperature to make the cooling efficiency of the cooling tower higher. If one side of the air inlet slot is blocked, when the cooling tower needs to be maintained and drained, an iron bar or a stick can be used to force the blockage into the interior of the cooling tower and wait for it to be discharged together with the cooling water. There is no need to disassemble and clean it back and forth, which is simple and direct.

[0026] The utility model provides an air inlet grille in a cooling tower, which is used in the design of the air inlet grille. The utility model does not limit the type of cooling tower to be installed, but the structure of the grille square plate 1, the air inlet slot 2, the air outlet slot 3 and the U-shaped channel steel 4 is particularly suitable for designing a clean and simple air inlet grille.

[0027] In general, the air inlet fence in the cooling tower proposed by the utility model mainly includes: a square grille plate 1, an air inlet slot 2, an air outlet slot 3 and a U-shaped channel steel 4, which can be seen in Figure 1 , which shows the arrangement relationship of the grille square plate 1, the air inlet slot 2, the air outlet slot 3 and the U-shaped channel steel 4.

[0028] The air inlet fence in the cooling tower proposed by the utility model is stuck in the square groove around the bottom of the cooling tower through the U-shaped channel steel 4 when in use, and the square plate 1 of the grille is limited by driving the tower nails into the tower body connection hole 5. The air inlet groove 2 and the air outlet groove 3 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the square plate 1 of the grille, wherein the air inlet groove 2 needs to be close to the direction of the outer side of the cooling tower body, such as Figure 3The air inlet slot 2 shown is arranged tilted downward, and the tilt angle of the top of the air inlet slot 2 is greater than the tilt angle of the bottom, so that the bottom inner diameter of the air inlet slot 2 is smaller than the top inner diameter of the air inlet slot 2, and the air outlet slot 3 is arranged tilted upward, and the tilt angle of the top of the air outlet slot 3 is smaller than the tilt angle of the bottom, so that the top inner diameter of the air outlet slot 3 is smaller than the bottom inner diameter of the air inlet slot 2, and the air inlet slot 2 and the air outlet slot 3 are connected at the bottom, so that the air outlet slot 3 and the air inlet slot 2 channel form a channel extending in an oblique downward direction toward the side of the grille square plate 1 away from the air inlet slot 2. The inclined channel can guide the air flow entering the cooling tower to enhance the air intake effect, and the tilt angle of the channel makes the sprayed coolant splash into the air outlet slot 3 on the side of the grille square plate 1 close to the inside of the tower body, because the coolant mostly falls on the surface cooler in the cooling tower to generate splashing, the surface cooler of all closed cooling towers will be designed above the grille square plate 1. The coolant sputtering track on the sputtering inverted grille square plate 1 is mostly arc-shaped and sputtered at a downward angle, so the coolant sputtered into the air outlet slot 3 will roll back into the cooling tower along the slot wall. Because there is no interception gap, the interception effect of the water spraying by the conventional louver-type grille is higher, and the inner diameters of the two ends of the air duct composed of the air outlet slot 3 and the air inlet slot 2 are large and the inner diameter in the middle is small, so that the air flow entering the outside of the cooling tower is first compressed and then released, which can speed up the gas flow rate and reduce the air flow temperature to make the cooling efficiency of the cooling tower higher. In addition, if the inner diameter of the air inlet grille is large, there will be no dust or debris stuck. If the inner diameter of the slot is small and one side of the air inlet slot 2 is blocked, you can wait until the cooling tower needs maintenance and drainage, and use an iron bar or a stick to force the blockage into the cooling tower and wait for it to be discharged together with the cooling water. There is no need to disassemble and clean it back and forth, which is simple and direct.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
