[0027] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the circulating water cooling tower of this embodiment includes a tower body 1 and a wind tube 2 located at the top of the tower body, the top of the tower body is connected to a water inlet pipe 3, a circulating water pool 4 is arranged at the bottom of the tower body 1 and is connected to a water outlet pipe 5, a packing layer 9 is arranged in the tower cavity between the water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 5, and it is characterized in that the top air outlet of the wind tube 2 is a bell-mouth structure, and a fan assembly is arranged inside the wind tube 2;

[0029] The fan assembly includes a DC motor 61, a hub 62 and a fan blade 63. The DC motor 61 is mounted on a base 7, and the base 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the wind tube 2. The DC motor 61 is connected to a controller 8 through an electrical signal to control the speed of the DC motor 61.

[0030] The hub 62 is fixedly connected to the output end of the DC motor 61. The hub 62 includes an upper plate 621 and a lower plate 622. The upper plate 621 and the lower plate 622 are symmetrical up and down, and the two are detachably connected. The opposite end surfaces of the upper plate 621 and the lower plate 622 are provided with a clamping block 623 for fixing the fan blade near their outer edges, and the surface of the clamping block 623 is provided with a groove 624 adapted to the inner end of the fan blade 63.

[0031] In this solution, the heat of the circulating water is discharged into the atmosphere through the base 7, the DC motor 61, the hub 62, the blades 63, and the wind tube 2, while taking away the heat of the DC motor 61. On the one hand, the DC motor 61 placed in the wind tube 2 is directly connected to the hub 62, and the rotation of the blades 63 is directly controlled by the controller 8, which reduces the use of transmission parts and reduces power loss; on the other hand, combined with the connection structure of the hub 62 and the blades 63, the stability of the blade movement is greatly increased, and the safety of production operation is improved.

By adopting the aluminum alloy material and the through holes 620 provided in the upper and lower plates, the rotating part of the fan assembly is lightweight and directly connected to the output end of the DC motor, further reducing the power loss of the motor, and the gas is dispersed from bottom to top through the through holes 620, further improving the cooling effect of the circulating water.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the bottom end surface of the fan blade 63 is inclined from the middle to the outer end, so that the thickness of the fan blade 63 decreases from the middle to the end. Its special shape design can increase the circulating air volume, and can increase the gas flow rate in the wind tube 2, reduce the air flow resistance, and reduce the power loss of the DC motor 61 in conjunction with the bell mouth structure of the wind tube 2.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a vertical spoiler 631 is provided at the outer end of the fan blade 63, the spoiler 631 is perpendicular to the fan surface of the fan blade 63, and the outer end surface of the spoiler is similar in shape to the inner wall of the wind tube. The provision of the spoiler 631 can improve the spoiler effect at the inner wall of the wind tube 2, further increase the gas flow, reduce the power loss of the DC motor 61, and improve the cooling effect of the circulating water.

[0035] The circulating water pool 4 is provided with a temperature sensor 41, which is electrically connected to the controller 8 of the DC motor 61. The operating load of the fan assembly can be automatically adjusted according to the monitored water temperature, thereby adjusting the water temperature. The water temperature control accuracy is high, the cooling equipment efficiency matches the water temperature, and power consumption is avoided, the operating cost is reduced, and the automation degree is high.
