[0026] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A device for plugging leakage of heat exchange pipes of an indirect cooling tower includes a heat dissipation pipe 100 and further includes:

[0028] The pipe replacement unit 1 comprises a replacement pipe 11 for replacing the leaking part of the cut-off heat dissipation pipe 100, wherein the replacement pipe 11 is provided with a water hole 113 having the same inner diameter as the heat dissipation pipe 100;

[0029] The sealing unit 2 includes a sealing assembly 21 which is slidably mounted on the outside of the substitute tube 11 and is used to connect the substitute tube 11 with the heat dissipation tube, and a fastening nut 22 which is arranged on the outside of the substitute tube 11 and is used to tighten the connected sealing assembly 21 against the heat dissipation tube 100 and one end.

[0030] As an improvement, Figure 1-2 As shown, a hexagonal piece 12 is fixedly sleeved on the middle part of the outer side of the replacement pipe 11;

[0031] Fastening threads 111 are provided on the outside of the replacement pipe 11 and on both sides of the hexagonal piece 12 . The fastening threads 111 are threadedly connected to the fastening nuts 22 .

[0032] By fixing the hexagonal piece 12 on the outer side of the replacement pipe 11, when the fastening nut 22 is subsequently rotated, the operator can use a wrench to cover the hexagonal piece 12 to prevent relative rotation between the replacement pipe 11 and the heat dissipation pipe 100 when the fastening nut 22 is tightened.

[0033] As an improvement, Figure 3-4As shown, the sealing assembly 21 includes a plug 211, one end of which is provided with a sleeve hole 212 for inserting the heat dissipation pipe 100, and the inner diameter of the sleeve hole 212 is adapted to the outer diameter of the heat dissipation pipe 100;

[0034] A limiting hole 213 for sleeve-mounting the replacement tube 11 is formed at one end of the plug 211 opposite to the sleeve hole 212 . The diameter of the limiting hole 213 is equal to the outer diameter of the replacement tube 11 .

[0035] Furthermore, the sealing unit 2 further includes:

[0036] A push ring 24 is fixedly inserted into the sleeve hole 212;

[0037] The rubber gasket 23 is fixedly connected to the push ring 24 on one side of the heat dissipation pipe 100 . The outer diameter of the rubber gasket 23 is the same as the inner diameter of the sleeve hole 212 . The inner diameter of the rubber gasket 23 is the same as the inner diameter of the water hole 113 .

[0038] As an improvement, both ends of the substitute tube 11 are provided with limiting protrusions 112 for limiting the plugs 211 at both ends of the substitute tube 11;

[0039] A sealing ring is provided at the joint between the limiting protrusion 112 and the plug 211, which is not shown in the figure.

[0040] It should be noted that: in the specific implementation process of the utility model, Figure 3-4 As shown, when one of the heat dissipation pipes 100 leaks and needs to be plugged, the main valve of the heat dissipation pipe 100 is closed, the corresponding leaking part of the heat dissipation pipe 100 is cut off, and then according to the length of the cut-off area of ​​the heat dissipation pipe 100, a substitute pipe 11 that matches the length of the heat dissipation pipe 100 area is selected to substitute the cut-off area;

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, during the replacement process, the plugs 211 at the openings at both ends of the replacement pipe 11 are respectively put on the outer sides of the openings at both ends exposed at the cut-off part. At this time, one of the wrenches is used to limit the hexagonal piece 12, and at the same time, the fastening nuts 22 located on both sides of the hexagonal piece 12 are rotated in sequence with another wrench. The fastening nuts 22 push the plugs 211 to move along the outer side of the replacement pipe 11 under the action of the thread tangential force between the fastening threads 111 and the plugs 211 drive the rubber gasket 23 to gradually press against the cut-off opening of the heat dissipation pipe fitting 100 through the push ring 24, completing the plugging of the heat dissipation pipe fitting 100. When the heat dissipation pipe fitting 100 after the plugging is in the process of water flow heat dissipation, the water flow can directly pass through the water through hole 113 and continue to perform heat dissipation work, so that after the heat dissipation pipe fitting 100 is plugged, the overall number of heat dissipation pipes will not be reduced, and the heat dissipation efficiency will not be greatly affected.
