[0031] As Figure 2 shown, the moving mechanism 6 drives the cleaning mechanism 5 to move directionally in the annular channel 4, so that the cleaning mechanism 5 cleans the inner wall of the water collecting tank 3 during the movement. Embodiment

[0032] Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a support rod 501, a connecting rod 502, a brush roller 503, a rotating rod 504, a transmission gear assembly 505 and a servo motor 506. The support rod 501 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water collecting tank 3, the connecting rod 502 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 501, several brush rollers 503 are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the support rod 501 and the connecting rod 502, the rotating rod 504 is fixedly installed at the end of the brush roller 503, the transmission gear assembly 505 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating rod 504, the servo motor 506 is fixedly installed on the top of the transmission gear assembly 505. The cleaning mechanism 5 further includes a cleaning agent atomizing nozzle 507 arranged on both sides of the brush roller 503. The back of the cleaning agent atomizing nozzle 507 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 508, the other end of the connecting pipe 508 is fixedly connected with a cleaning agent storage tank 509, fixed rods 7 are fixedly installed at both ends of the brush roller 503, and a wall adhering wheel 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the support rod 501 close to the inner wall of the water collecting tank 3.

[0034] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the servo motor 506 drives the two brush rollers 503 to rotate through the transmission gear assembly 505. The brush rollers 503 are closely attached to the inner wall of the water collecting tank 3, and the rotating brush rollers 503 clean the dirt on the inner wall of the water collecting tank 3. Embodiment

[0035] Refer to Figure 6 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is based on the previous two embodiments.

[0036] In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 6 includes a chassis 601, moving wheels 602, a receiving cavity 603, and touch sensors 604. The chassis 601 is disposed inside the annular channel 4. The moving wheels 602 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the chassis 601. The receiving cavity 603 is disposed at the top of the chassis 601. A plurality of touch sensors 604 are respectively disposed around the chassis 601. The moving mechanism 6 further includes a storage battery 605 and a control main board 606.

[0038] During use, the moving wheels 602 at the bottom of the chassis 601 are controlled to move through remote control. At the same time, the servo motor 506 is started. The servo motor 506 drives the two brush rollers 503 to rotate through the transmission gear assembly 505. The brush rollers 503 are closely attached to the inner wall of the water collection tank 3. The rotating brush rollers 503 clean the dirt on the inner wall of the water collection tank 3. During the cleaning process, when encountering stubborn dirt, the cleaning agent atomizing nozzle 507 can also spray the cleaning agent at this position to increase the cleaning intensity. The removed dirt falls into the sewage at the bottom and is discharged from the sewage outlet 10 uniformly.

[0039] In summary: Through the combined use of the cleaning mechanism 5 and the moving mechanism 6, the brush rollers 503 can be rotated to brush the inner wall of the water collection tank 3, realizing automatic cleaning, greatly reducing the burden of manual cleaning, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the water collection tank 3, completely removing the deposited dirt and water channels, thereby avoiding the influence of these dirt on the cooling efficiency, improving the operating efficiency of the cooling tower, and extending the service life of the equipment.
