AI Technical Summary
There are too many spray heads in the existing cooling tower and fixed installation, resulting in limited spraying range and the inability to adjust according to the angle and orientation of the pipeline, which affects the cooling effect and increases the cost.
A closed cooling tower is designed for easy cleaning. The drive motor is used to control the spray head for circular movement and freely slide in the annular through-hole slide column, which expands the spray range and reduces the demand for the spray head.
By expanding the spray range, the cooling effect of the cooling tower is improved, the number of spray heads is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the clean water flushing system can effectively clean the residual cleaning liquid to prevent corrosion.

A heat exchange pipe for conveying water to be cooled is installed in the cooling tower, and spray heads are uniformly installed on the upper part of the heat exchange pipe to spray water for cooling. The water to be cooled will contact the inner wall of the heat exchange pipe during the conveying process, causing corrosion or impurity accumulation. Long-term accumulation will lead to pipe breakage or blockage, so the heat exchange pipe needs to be cleaned regularly.
[0003] The existing cleaning technology often adopts a closed cooling tower for facilitating the cleaning of the inner wall of a heat exchange pipe, as disclosed in the patent with the publication number CN217604734U. It conveys a cleaning agent into the pipe body, and after the cleaning agent stays in the pipe body for a period of time, the second delivery pipe and the first branch pipe are opened, and the pipe body is flushed with clean water. At present, many spray heads are installed in the cooling tower, which brings the problem of high cost. Moreover, the spray heads are all fixedly installed, so that the spraying area range of the spray heads is limited and cannot be adjusted in terms of angle and orientation according to the pipeline, seriously affecting the cooling effect.

[0022] The cleaning mechanism includes a first water inlet pipe 6 for connecting the reservoir 2 and the spraying mechanism. At the upper end of the heat exchange pipe 30, a cleaning liquid storage tank 7 is fixedly installed, and a clean water storage tank 8 is fixedly installed on the cleaning liquid storage tank 7. The bottoms of the cleaning liquid storage tank 7 and the clean water storage tank 8 are inclined surfaces, which facilitate the liquid in the tank to flow into the heat exchange pipe 30 through the pipeline. A supply pipe 9 extending outside the tower body 1 is welded at the left end of the cleaning liquid storage tank 7. The opening of the supply pipe 9 faces upward, and when the cleaning liquid is exhausted, replenishment can be carried out through the above-mentioned opening. Moreover, a first water outlet pipe 10 communicating with the heat exchange pipe 30 is welded at the bottom of the cleaning liquid storage tank 7. A second water inlet pipe 11 communicating with the first water inlet pipe 6 is welded at the left end of the clean water storage tank 8. The second water inlet pipe 11 is obliquely connected to the first water inlet pipe 6, which can accelerate the replenishment of clean water to the clean water storage tank 8 and also prevent the backflow of clean water when the water pump 4 stops operating. Moreover, a second water outlet pipe 12 communicating with the first water outlet pipe 10 is welded at the right end of the clean water storage tank 8. The first water outlet pipe 10 and the second water outlet pipe 12 are welded at the low end of the inclined surface;

A rotating cylinder 20 is welded at the left end position of the receiving block 18. The rotating cylinder 20 is obliquely installed on the receiving block 18. A connecting column 21 is movably sleeved inside the rotating cylinder 20. A U-shaped plate 22 is welded at the top end of the rotating cylinder 20. The installation position of the rotating cylinder 20 is determined by the movement range of the U-shaped plate 22. The connecting column 21 pulls the U-shaped plate 22 to perform a periodic motion. The distance between the installation position of the rotating cylinder 20 and the support column 19 should be greater than the movement range of the U-shaped plate 22 to prevent the two from colliding. A T-shaped column 23 is rotatably installed on the U-shaped plate 22. The T-shaped column 23 is rotatably installed on the tower body 1, and a transmission gear 24 is welded at the free end of the T-shaped column 23.

A spray head 26 for spraying clear water is welded at the bottom end of the connecting column 21. A hose 27 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the first water inlet pipe 6 to prevent the hose 27 from knotting during circular motion. A through-hole sliding column 28 connected to the hose 27 is movably installed in the annular through groove 31. A transmission pipe 29 communicated with the spray head 26 is welded at the bottom end of the through-hole sliding column 28. Clear water continuously supplies the spray head 26 through the hose 27, the through-hole sliding column 28 and the transmission pipe 29.
[0025] It should be noted that the specific model specifications of the water pump 4 and the driving motor 5 need to be selected according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be elaborated here.
[0026] The functional principle of the present utility model can be described through the following operation methods:

When replenishing the clear water for the spraying mechanism, the clear water storage tank 8 will also be filled with clear water.
[0028] Turn on the driving motor 5. The conical gear 25 drives the T-shaped column 23 to rotate, and then drives the U-shaped plate 22 to perform a periodic motion. Subsequently, it pulls the spray head 26 to perform a circular motion centered on the rotating column 17. At this moment, the hose 27, the through-hole sliding column 28 and the transmission pipe 29 are pulled and slide along the annular through groove 31 as the path.
[0029] When cleaning the heat exchange tube 30, open the solenoid valve in the first water outlet pipe 10, and the cleaning liquid enters the heat exchange tube 30 and undergoes a chemical reaction with impurities. Subsequently, close the above solenoid valve, open the solenoid valves in the second water outlet pipe 12 and the third water outlet pipe 13, and clean water enters the heat exchange tube 30. Then, the cleaning liquid and impurities are discharged into the waste water collection tank 14 through the third water outlet pipe 13.
