Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water collectors, in particular to a novel aluminum alloy corrugated water collector. Background Art

[0002] A water collector is a device used in cooling towers, evaporative coolers, composite evaporative coolers and other equipment to collect escaping water. It is usually installed in the upper part of the tower body, below the induced draft fan. The spray water in the tower body evaporates and heats up to become steam, which mixes with the passing air and flows upward under the drive of the fan. When passing through the water collector, some small droplets that are not dissolved in the air adhere to the water collector and gradually accumulate. When the gravity of the formed water droplets is greater than the adhesion force, they will fall into the pool or attach to the heat exchange element again to evaporate. The water collector device can effectively reduce the escaping rate of the spray water in the heat exchange equipment and play a role in water saving.

[0003] At present, the commonly used water collectors on the market are made of fiberglass, PVC, PP, etc., all of which are plastic materials and are widely used in the low-temperature cooling industry of cooling towers. The commonly used water collectors in the petrochemical industry are W-type aluminum alloy water collectors. In order to achieve the purpose of water collection, this type of water collector is usually equipped with a higher barb, which causes a sharp increase in the local wind speed in the wind channel, so that the water drops formed at the barb are obvious at the local high wind speed, and the water collection effect is poor. At the same time, due to the structural characteristics of the W-type water collector, the wind channel is not smooth enough and the water collector has a large resistance. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] Please see attached Figure 1-4The present embodiment is a novel aluminum alloy corrugated water collector: it includes a water collecting sheet 1, each of the four corners of the water collecting sheet 1 is provided with connecting holes, a longitudinal connecting rod 2 is slidably connected in the connecting hole, an equidistant shaft sleeve 3 is sleeved on the longitudinal connecting rod 2, there are multiple equidistant shaft sleeves 3 and water collecting sheets 1, multiple water collecting sheets 1 and equidistant shaft sleeves 3 are equidistantly arranged on the longitudinal connecting rod 2, and an air passage is formed between adjacent water collecting sheets 1, and end fixers 4 are provided at both ends of the longitudinal connecting rod 2.

[0020] There are multiple water-collecting sheets 1 and equidistant sleeves 3, each of which is provided with connecting holes around it, and there are four longitudinal connecting rods 2, which are distributed in the four connecting holes, the diameter of the connecting hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the equidistant sleeves 3, and the diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the diameter of the longitudinal connecting rod 2, the water-collecting sheets 1 and the equidistant sleeves 3 are staggeredly installed on the longitudinal connecting rod 2, and an air passage is formed between two adjacent water-collecting sheets 1. Under the action of the equidistant sleeves 3, the air passage formed between the two adjacent water-collecting sheets 1 is the same, the water-collecting sheets 1 and their ribs 5 are integrally drawn, and the corrugated sheet 1 is formed by drawing. The surface of the water collecting sheet 1 is smooth and the top of the rib 5 is arc-shaped, which is conducive to the gathering and falling of water droplets. At the same time, the corrugated structure of the water collecting sheet 1 can make each air passage as a whole smoother, reduce the air resistance, and facilitate the ventilation of the water collector. In order to fix the water collecting sheet 1 installed on the longitudinal connecting rod 2, end fixers 4 are installed at both ends of the longitudinal connecting rod 2. The two end fixers 4 at both ends of the longitudinal connecting rod 2 press the middle water collecting sheet 1 and the equidistant shaft sleeve 3. Under the action of the two end fixers 4 at both ends, the middle water collecting sheet 1 can be well fixed.

[0021] The end fixer 4 includes a threaded rod 401 , which is fixedly connected to the longitudinal connecting rod 2 , the diameter of the connecting hole is larger than the rod diameter of the threaded rod 401 , and a locking nut 402 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 401 .

[0022] The rod diameter of the threaded rod 401 is the same as the rod diameter of the longitudinal connecting rod 2. The water-receiving sheet 1 is inserted into the longitudinal connecting rod 2 through the threaded rod 401. After a certain amount of water-receiving sheet 1 is inserted into the longitudinal connecting rod 2, the threaded rods 401 at both ends are locked and fixed by locking nuts 402, and the diameter of the locking nuts 402 is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole.

[0023] Ribs 5 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear surfaces of the water-receiving sheet 1 , and there are a plurality of ribs 5 .

[0024] There are four groups of ribs 5, two groups of ribs 5 are located on the front side of the water collecting plate, and two groups of ribs 5 are located on the back side of the water collecting plate, and the ribs 5 on both sides are symmetrically distributed about the center of the water collecting plate, and the top of the ribs 5 is an arc structure, and the height of the protrusion of the ribs 5 is 1-5 times the thickness of the water collecting sheet 1. The ribs 5 are located at a steep slope position of the water collecting sheet 1. When air with small droplets flows through the wave surface, the component force generated by the lateral air increases, thereby forcing more air with small droplets to enter the water collector channel and collide with the adjacent corrugated water collecting sheet 1, condensing into water droplets and falling, thereby effectively preventing the spray water from escaping and avoiding the loss of liquid water. The water collection effect is obvious, and water resources are saved.

[0025] The width of the equidistant sleeve 3 is smaller than the overall width of the water-receiving sheet 1 .

[0026] The aluminum alloy corrugated water-collecting sheet 1 and its ribs 5 are integrally drawn and formed, with a smooth surface, small wind resistance, stable structure, high strength and high production efficiency. The installation spacing A of the aluminum alloy corrugated water-collecting sheet 1 can be controlled by the positioning equidistant shaft sleeve 3, and the installation spacing needs to be smaller than the forming width B of the single aluminum alloy corrugated water-collecting sheet 1, that is, two adjacent aluminum alloy corrugated water-collecting sheets 1 need to overlap to prevent wind short circuit. The forming height H of the aluminum alloy corrugated water-collecting sheet 1 ranges from 100 to 300 mm, and the forming width B ranges from 20 to 60 mm.

[0027] The utility model uses an overall workflow: the first step is to install a locking nut 402 at one end of the longitudinal connecting rod 2; the second step is to install the first aluminum alloy corrugated water collecting sheet 1 on the longitudinal connecting rod 2; the third step is to install the positioning equidistant sleeve 3 on the longitudinal connecting rod 2 and behind the first aluminum alloy corrugated water collecting sheet 1; the fourth step is to install the second aluminum alloy corrugated water collecting sheet 1 on the longitudinal connecting rod 2, and install a positioning equidistant sleeve 3 between two adjacent aluminum alloy corrugated water collecting sheets 1, and so on, until the last aluminum alloy corrugated water collecting sheet 1 is installed. Finally, the locking nut 402 is fixed to the other end of the longitudinal connecting rod 2 and is located on the outside of the last aluminum alloy corrugated water collecting sheet 1. The water collecting sheet 1 is in the shape of a wave, and ribs 5 are provided on the upper and lower corrugated surfaces. When the air with small droplets flows through the wave surface, the component force generated by the lateral air increases, thereby forcing more air with small droplets to enter the water collecting channel, and collide with the adjacent water collecting sheet 1, condense into water droplets and fall, thereby achieving the effect of efficient water collection. Since the corrugated water collecting sheet 1 is a corrugated structure and is integrally drawn with the ribs 5, the surface of the corrugated water collecting sheet 1 is smooth and the top of the ribs 5 is arc-shaped, which is conducive to the gathering and falling of water drops. At the same time, the water collector is a corrugated structure, the air passage is smooth, and the air resistance is small.

[0028] The utility model has a novel structure, ingenious conception, and simple and convenient operation. Through this design, the problems that a conventional new type of aluminum alloy corrugated water collector is easy to shake, difficult to move, occupies a relatively large vertical space when not in use, and the writing area and the height of the teaching board cannot be adjusted are effectively solved.

[0029] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
