Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cooling towers, and in particular to a steel structure cooling tower that is easy to install. Background Art

[0002] In the process of thermal power generation, the indirect air cooling system, as one of the main air cooling systems, has been widely used in my country. The indirect air cooling system adopts natural ventilation and requires the construction of a very high cooling tower.

[0003] Cooling tower bodies are mainly divided into concrete cooling towers and steel structure cooling towers. Concrete cooling towers require pouring concrete. Since the solidification of concrete takes a certain amount of time, the construction time of concrete cooling towers is generally longer. Steel structure cooling towers adopt an assembled construction process, which can shorten the construction time of steel structure cooling towers. The main body of the steel structure cooling tower is a steel structure, and the periphery of the steel structure needs to be installed with a protective plate to make the tower body closed.

[0004] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN214402933U discloses a steel structure cooling tower, including a tower body and a skin arranged on the inner side of the tower body, the tower body and the skin are connected by a connecting structure, the skin includes a first skin and a second skin connected to the first skin, the connecting structure includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the first connecting part connects the tower body and the second connecting part, the second connecting part is provided with a first arc portion and a second arc portion, the first arc portion is connected to the first skin, the second arc portion is connected to the second skin, the first arc portion and the second arc portion are both provided with screw holes, the first skin and the second skin are connected to the second connecting part through the screw holes.

[0005] During the use of the above technology, since the skin is bolted to the second connection part by bolts, and the cooling tower is usually large in size, a large amount of skin needs to be bolted on the cooling tower to close the tower body, which requires the installers to tighten a large number of bolts. Even if the workers use power tools to tighten the bolts, the workers holding the tools for a long time to tighten the bolts will increase the work intensity of the workers, which is insufficient. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to reduce the difficulty for workers to install a cooling tower, the present application provides a steel structure cooling tower that is easy to install.

[0007] The present application provides a steel structure cooling tower that is easy to install and adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A steel structure cooling tower which is easy to install comprises a tower frame and a sealing plate, wherein the sealing plate is used to seal the tower frame, wherein the tower frame comprises a plurality of main tower columns which are evenly arranged in the circumference, a plurality of connecting columns are detachably provided between two adjacent main tower columns, and the plurality of connecting columns are arranged along the axial direction of the main tower columns, the sealing plate is located between two adjacent connecting columns, and both sides of the connecting columns along the axial direction of the main tower columns are provided with card slots, and the sealing plate is plugged into the card slots of the two adjacent connecting columns.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the cooling tower, the workers first arrange and fix several main tower columns evenly around the circumference, then install connecting columns between two adjacent main tower columns, then insert the sealing plate on the connecting columns, and then insert another connecting column on the top of the sealing plate, and connect the connecting column to the two adjacent main tower columns at the same time, and repeat the above process in sequence to stack multiple sealing plates to close the gap between two adjacent main tower columns, and finally close the gaps between several adjacent main tower columns through the above operation to achieve the closing effect of the tower frame, and the workers only need to repeat the splicing, which is conducive to reducing the installation difficulty of the workers, thereby reducing the work intensity of the workers.

[0010] Optionally, the main tower column includes a plurality of coaxial tower column units, the bottom of each tower column unit is plugged into the top of a tower column unit therebelow, and an anti-dropping member for fixing is provided between two adjacent tower column units.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-dropping parts are helpful to improve the structural strength between multiple tower column units, and at the same time, it is convenient for workers to plug in the corresponding number of tower column units according to the designed height, which is helpful to improve the convenience of installation for workers. At the same time, the tower column units can be mass-produced, which is helpful to reduce the construction cost of the cooling tower.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the upper tower column unit is plugged into the tower column unit below it, the worker rotates the plug plate on the lower tower column unit so that the plug plate on the lower tower column unit is inserted into the anti-slip ring groove of the upper tower column unit, thereby achieving fixation between the two tower column units, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of accidental separation of two adjacent tower column units.

[0014] Optionally, a lever is threadedly connected to the plug plate, one end of the lever extends out and points to the shaft rod, and the shaft rod is provided with a lever groove for the lever to be inserted into.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the plug plate on the lower tower column unit is inserted into the anti-slip ring groove of the upper tower column unit, the worker twists the lever, and the lever rotates and inserts into the lever groove of the shaft rod. Since the shaft rod cannot rotate relative to the mounting ear, the possibility of the plug plate accidentally detaching from the anti-slip ring groove is reduced, and the possibility of accidental separation of the two tower column units is further reduced.

[0016] Optionally, a support rod is provided at one end of the lever facing away from the shaft rod, the axis of the support rod is perpendicular to the axis of the lever, and a counterweight ball is provided on the support rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug plate on the lower tower column unit is inserted into the anti-slip ring groove of the upper tower column unit, the worker pushes the support rod, and the counterweight ball naturally rotates and droops. During the drooping process, the counterweight ball drives the lever to rotate through the support rod, so that the lever is inserted into the lever groove of the shaft rod. In this operation, the worker only needs to push the support rod to rotate, and at the same time, the counterweight ball reduces the possibility of the support rod accidentally driving the lever to rotate.

[0018] Optionally, a connecting plate is coaxially arranged on the tower column unit, a plurality of holes are formed on the connecting plate, and a pin is arranged on the connecting column, and the pin is plug-fitted with the hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, workers place the connecting column between two adjacent tower column units, and fix the connecting column on the connecting plate of the tower column unit through a pin shaft, and then insert the sealing plate into the slot of the connecting column. Then, the tower column unit is installed, and the connecting column is installed. In this way, the workers assemble and construct from bottom to top layer by layer, which is conducive to improving the construction speed of the workers.

[0020] Optionally, the tower frame further comprises a plurality of reinforcement columns uniformly arranged circumferentially, and a fixing column is provided between two adjacent reinforcement columns and between a reinforcement column and a main tower column.

[0022] Optionally, the reinforcing column includes a plurality of coaxially arranged fixing column units, a ball seat is provided on the fixing column unit, and the fixing column is detachably arranged on the ball seat.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, it is beneficial for workers to install the fixed column unit simultaneously when installing the tower column unit, thereby improving the convenience of installation for the workers.

[0026] 2. After the upper tower column unit is plugged into the lower tower column unit, the worker rotates the plug plate on the lower tower column unit so that the plug plate on the lower tower column unit is plugged into the anti-slip ring groove of the upper tower column unit, thereby achieving fixation between the two tower column units, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of accidental separation of the two adjacent tower column units;

[0027] 3. After the plug plate on the lower tower column unit is inserted into the anti-slip ring groove of the upper tower column unit, the worker moves the support rod, and the counterweight ball naturally rotates and droops.
