[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides an embodiment: a cooling tower top anti-freezing collection device, including a tower body 1, a fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tower body 1, a connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 2, a first support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 5, a fixing rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the first support rod 6, a plurality of wire meshes 8 are arranged between the fixing rod 7 and the connecting plate 5, a second support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 5, the top of the second support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod 7, and a rotating component is arranged on the top of the connecting plate 5.

[0024] Specifically, when the top of the cooling tower freezes due to the temperature difference, the arc-shaped design of the top of the cooling tower allows the ice to slide down smoothly. This design relies on gravity and a smooth surface to allow the ice to slide naturally along the surface of the tower cover, preventing the risk of sudden falling of the ice. Once the ice slides, they will be guided to the fixed plate 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cooling tower, so that the guardrails set on the fixed plate 2 and its outer wall can block and collect the ice, and the collected ice will gradually melt into water. At this time, the melted water is discharged through the wire mesh 8 set on the top of the fixed plate 2. The function of the wire mesh 8 is to filter and guide the water flow, ensure smooth discharge, and maintain the normal operation of the cooling tower, thereby achieving the effect of blocking and collecting the ice on the top of the tower to prevent it from falling.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3A limiting groove 16 is provided inside the connecting plate 5, an electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 5, a connecting block 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 10, a slide plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 11, a side wall of the slide plate 12 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 16, and a fixing column 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 12.

[0026] Specifically, when the guardrail of the cooling tower needs to be folded and opened, the electric push rod 10 drives the connecting block 11 to move through the output end. The connecting block 11 is driven by the force of the push rod, and then the slide plate 12 fixedly connected at the bottom slides inside the limit groove 16. When the slide plate 12 is moved by the force, it also drives the fixed column 13 and the fixed column 2 17 fixedly connected at the top to move accordingly, achieving the driving effect.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The rotating assembly includes a first guardrail 15 and a second guardrail 4. The bottom of the first guardrail 15 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate 5, and the bottom of the second guardrail 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 5. The first guardrail 15 and the second guardrail 4 are in contact with each other. The top of the first guardrail 15 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 2 19, and the connecting column 2 19 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing rod 7. The top of the second guardrail 4 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 18, and the connecting column 18 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing rod 7. The outer wall of the fixed column 13 is rotatably connected to the second rotating block 14. The top of the slide plate 12 is fixedly connected to a fixed column 2 17, and the outer wall of the fixed column 2 17 is rotatably connected to the first rotating block 3. One side of the first rotating block 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the first guardrail 15, and one side of the second rotating block 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the second guardrail 4.

[0028] Specifically, when the fixed column 13 is driven by force, the second rotating block 14 connected to the outer wall is driven to rotate. At the same time, under the force of the fixed column 2 17, the first rotating block 3 starts to move. Through such a mechanism, the second rotating block 14 drives the first guardrail 15 fixedly connected on one side to rotate between the fixed rod 7 and the connecting plate 5. Similarly, the first rotating block 3 drives the second guardrail 4 fixedly connected on the other side to flip between the fixed rod 7 and the connecting plate 5. In this way, the guardrail is opened outward by flipping, achieving the effect of folding and stretching the guardrail according to needs.

[0029] Working principle: When ice forms on the top of the cooling tower due to the temperature difference, the arc-shaped design of the top of the tower causes the ice to slide downward, and then the ice falls into the top of the fixed plate 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tower body 1, so that the fixed plate 2 and the guardrails arranged on its outer wall block and collect the ice to prevent the ice from falling from a height and causing harm to personnel. When the ice melts into water, it is discharged through the wire mesh 8, thereby achieving the effect of blocking and collecting the ice on the top of the tower to prevent it from falling. When it is necessary to fold and open the guardrail, the output end of the electric push rod 10 drives the connecting block 11 to move, and the connecting block 11 is forced to drive the sliding plate 12 fixedly connected at the bottom to limit The slide plate 12 slides inside the groove 16, and at this time, the slide plate 12 is forced to drive the fixed column 13 and the fixed column 2 17 fixedly connected on the top to move, the fixed column 13 is forced to drive the second rotating block 14 connected to the outer wall rotation to move, the fixed column 2 17 is forced to drive the first rotating block 3 to move, and the second rotating block 14 is forced to drive the first guardrail 15 fixedly connected on one side to rotate between the fixed rod 7 and the connecting plate 5. At the same time, the first rotating block 3 is forced to drive the second guardrail 4 fixedly connected on one side to rotate between the fixed rod 7 and the connecting plate 5, so that the guardrail is opened outward by flipping, thereby achieving the effect of folding and stretching the guardrail according to needs.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
