Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cooling tower, in particular to an enclosure structure of a steel lattice shell hyperbolic cooling tower. Background Art

[0002] In the past decade, steel cooling towers have been widely used in thermal power plant projects. Studies have shown that compared with traditional concrete towers, steel towers have the advantages of convenient installation, low installation costs, and good structural seismic performance. A protective structure is usually set on the facade of the main structure of a hyperbolic steel cooling tower. The protective structure often adopts a purlin-skin structure system to ensure the airtightness of the cooling tower. The shape of a hyperbolic steel cooling tower usually adopts a complex spatial curved surface and a large height, which increases the difficulty of designing and installing the protective structure.

[0003] The tower body of the hyperbolic steel structure cooling tower is a hyperbolic parabola formed by rotating around the central axis with an oblique straight line as the generatrix, and its main structure is a space lattice shell structure composed of oblique pillars and ring beams that coincide with the oblique generatrix. In the prior art, the enclosure structure installation method for the hyperbolic steel structure cooling tower is as follows: a circle of main purlins that coincide with the straight generatrix of the tower body are evenly arranged along the circumference, and then secondary purlins are arranged in the horizontal plane between the main purlins, and finally the skin structure is installed on the main and secondary purlins. Although the above-mentioned enclosure structure can ensure the airtightness of the cooling tower, it does not fully utilize the supporting role of the oblique pillars in the main structure of the cooling tower, and it is necessary to additionally set the main purlins in the direction of the straight generatrix, which not only greatly increases the amount of steel used, but also increases the construction volume and construction difficulty, thereby affecting the economy and construction efficiency of the structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of some shortcomings of the enclosure structure in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model improves the design of the enclosure structure of a steel lattice shell hyperbolic cooling tower composed of inclined columns and ring beams that coincide with the inclined busbar of the tower body. The inclined columns are used to directly bear the wind load transmitted by the skin structure, and there is no need to additionally set up a main purlin system that coincides with the straight busbar, which greatly reduces the amount of steel used.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] The invention discloses an enclosure structure of a steel grid shell hyperbolic cooling tower.
