Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cooling tower equipment, in particular to a protection net structure for a cooling tower fan. Background Technique
[0002] With the development of technology, the society has an increasing demand for steel structure cooling towers. Currently, steel structure cooling towers have been widely popularized. Cooling tower manufacturers mostly adopt the process of laser cutting steel plates and then bending them to produce steel structure cooling towers. At present, although traditional steel structure cooling towers have been popularized, due to structural reasons, the installation process of the protection frame of steel structure cooling towers is relatively complex. Many components need to be welded on site, resulting in too low installation efficiency and high installation costs. At the same time, the bearing capacity of the traditional protection net is insufficient. The long-term operation of the cooling tower fan is likely to deform the protection net, failing to achieve the due protection effect. In serious cases, it may cause the fan to tilt or large sundries to fall in, damaging the fan and the cooling tower. Among them, a protection net structure with the application number "CN202322417640.X" is more convenient, efficient and simple to operate than the conventional welded protection frame through assembly. It also has a strong bearing capacity and can protect the fan blades and the inside of the cooling tower, preventing larger sundries from falling into the inside of the cooling tower and damaging the fan blades and the inside of the cooling tower, affecting the operation of the cooling tower. However, there are still certain deficiencies in the use of this protection net: Since the motor frame inside the protection net is fixedly installed with the motor of the cooling tower fan, the protection net is fixed together with the motor. When performing maintenance on the top of the cooling tower later, the motor frame and the motor need to be removed, and then the protection net needs to be removed to enter the inside of the cooling tower, with cumbersome steps, thus reducing the maintenance efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2, the protective net 4 is placed on the surface of the support ring 3 connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 2. The protective net 4 is hinged to the outer frame 1. The protective net 4 is composed of an outer ring frame 41 and an inner ring frame 42. A number of support rods 43 are fixedly connected between the outer ring frame 41 and the inner ring frame 42, and a protective fence 44 is fixedly connected between adjacent support rods 43.
[0024] During specific use: There is a protective net 4 inside the installation groove 2. The protective net 4 and the outer frame 1 are installed together through hinge connection. The protective net 4 is composed of an outer ring frame 41 and an inner ring frame 42. A number of support rods 43 are connected around between the outer ring frame 41 and the inner ring frame 42. A protective fence 44 is connected between adjacent rods to form the protective net 4. The protective net 4 can be hinged and move relative to the outer frame 1. After the outer frame 1 is installed on the top of the cooling tower, the protective net 4 is hinged and opened, which is convenient for the maintenance of the inside of the cooling tower, so that maintenance can be carried out without removing the outer frame 1, improving the maintenance efficiency and facilitating use.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the locking mechanism 5 includes a connection block 51 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer frame 1. Lock blocks 52 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connection block 51. A handle 53 is installed on the surface of one of the support rods 43.
