Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling towers, in particular to an energy-saving water distributor for cooling towers. Background Art
[0002] The cooling tower water distributor is a key component in the cooling tower. Its function is to evenly distribute water over the packing, increasing the water vapor contact surface, causing some of the water to vaporize, removing heat and thus reducing the water temperature. The cooling tower water distributor operates by flowing cooling water through the water inlet pipe, through the water distributor, and into the water distribution pipe. The water then flows through the nozzle holes in the water distribution pipe, forming a stream and spraying it onto the cooling tower packing. Due to the relatively small diameter of the nozzle holes, the water flow has a certain velocity. According to the principle of action and reaction, the water distribution pipe is subjected to a force opposite to the direction of the water flow, causing it to rotate, thus continuously distributing the water to the cooling tower packing.
[0003] Traditional connection methods typically require operators to roughly align the water distribution pipe with the water distributor's butt joint, then secure the connection with multiple bolts to ensure stability and a tight seal. However, in practice, the lack of effective pre-positioning or limiting mechanisms between the water distribution pipe and the butt joint can lead to the water distribution pipe easily shifting or shaking within the butt joint before the bolts are tightened. This not only increases the difficulty of bolting holes, but can also prevent the bolts from accurately passing through the screw holes, resulting in installation failure. This is why we propose an energy-saving cooling tower water distributor. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an energy-saving water distributor for cooling towers, which solves the problem that the traditional connection method in the prior art usually requires the operator to first roughly align the water distribution pipe with the water distributor's butt joint, and then fix them one by one with multiple bolts to ensure the stability and sealing of the connection. However, in actual operation, due to the lack of an effective pre-positioning or limiting mechanism between the water distribution pipe and the butt joint, the water distribution pipe is prone to offset or shaking in the butt joint before the bolts are tightened. This not only increases the difficulty of bolting into the hole, but may also prevent the bolt from accurately passing through the screw hole, resulting in installation failure.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] The energy-saving water distributor of a cooling tower includes a water distributor, wherein the output end of the water distributor is fixedly connected to a docking pipe, through holes are provided on both sides of the outer ring of the docking pipe, a sliding pipe is provided above the docking pipe, and a shell is provided on one side of the sliding pipe, and a plug rod is vertically provided in the inner cavity of the shell, the bottom of the plug rod is adjacent to the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell and is plugged into the adjacent through hole, and the top of the plug rod is through the top of the adjacent inner cavity of the shell and extends to the top of the shell.
[0007] Preferably, a blocking piece is sleeved on the outer ring of the insertion rod and located in the inner cavity of the adjacent shell, and the bottom of the blocking piece abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity of the adjacent shell.
[0008] Preferably, a spring is installed on the outer ring of the insertion rod, and the top of the blocking piece is elastically connected to the top of the inner cavity of the adjacent shell through the spring.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the adjacent blocking piece, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the adjacent shell.
[0010] Preferably, the extending end of the insertion rod is fixedly connected to a handle.
[0011] Preferably, an extension rod is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding tube, and one end of the extension rod is fixedly connected to one side of the adjacent outer shell.
[0012] The utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0013] After the water distribution pipe is initially inserted into the butt joint, tedious bolt tightening operations are eliminated. Instead, the built-in mechanical structure ensures initial stable positioning. This design allows the water distribution pipe to maintain a delicate dynamic balance within the butt joint, effectively preventing deviation and shaking caused by external interference or careless operation. This allows the operator to proceed with subsequent bolt-to-hole operations with greater ease. Because the water distribution pipe is securely held in place by the pre-positioning mechanism, bolts can more easily find and accurately pass through the corresponding screw holes, significantly improving the success rate and efficiency of the butt joint.
[0014] The utility model also has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Operators no longer need to maintain a high level of tension during installation to prevent the water distribution pipes from accidentally moving. The pre-limiting mechanism takes on this stabilization task, allowing operators to focus more on critical steps such as bolt tightening. This design significantly reduces the operator's labor intensity and installation errors caused by human error. By optimizing the installation process and structural design of the water distributor, it reduces resource waste during the installation process, indirectly promoting energy conservation and emission reduction. At the same time, a stable water distribution system helps improve the cooling tower's heat exchange efficiency and reduce energy consumption, further embodying the design concept of energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 The energy-saving water distributor for a cooling tower includes a water distributor 1. The output end of the water distributor 1 is fixedly connected to a docking pipe 2. Through holes 3 are provided on both sides of the outer ring of the docking pipe 2. A sliding pipe 4 is provided above the docking pipe 2, and a shell 10 is provided on one side of the sliding pipe 4. A plug rod 6 is vertically provided in the inner cavity of the shell 10. The bottom of the plug rod 6 is adjacent to the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell 10 and is plugged into the adjacent through hole 3. The top of the plug rod 6 passes through the top of the adjacent inner cavity of the shell 10 and extends to the top of the shell 10.
[0025] This program has the following working process:
[0026] When the pipe is in use, the personnel can install the water distribution pipe that needs to be connected to the water distributor 1 with the corresponding docking pipe 2 in sequence. In the process of connecting the water distribution pipe and the docking pipe 2, the personnel first insert the water distribution pipe into the inner cavity of the docking pipe 2, and then move the shell 10 corresponding to the docking pipe 2, so that the shell 10 is restricted by the extension rod 5 and the sliding pipe 4 to limit the displacement of the movement track, and the insertion rod 6 located inside the shell 10 moves to the position of the corresponding through hole 3. The force of the spring 8 is transmitted to the insertion rod 6, so that the insertion rod 6 passes through the adjacent through hole 3 and is plugged into the hole on the water distribution pipe. The personnel then uses a bolt to pass through the other through hole 3 of the docking pipe 2 and connect it with the screw hole on the water distribution pipe. After the first bolt connection is completed, the personnel pulls the insertion rod 6 outward, and then restores the initial position of the shell 10. The personnel then uses another bolt to pass through the corresponding through hole 3 and connect it with the other screw hole of the water distribution pipe. At this point, the connection operation of the water distribution pipe and the docking pipe 2 is completed, and the personnel can use this method to connect other docking pipes 2 to water distribution pipes.
[0027] According to the above working process, we can know that:
[0028] Through the structural design, personnel can maintain a stable balance state inside the corresponding docking pipe 2 for the water distribution pipe that has not yet been limited by bolts during the process of connecting the water distribution pipe and the docking pipe 2, thereby facilitating the subsequent use of bolts to limit the holes. The pre-limiting method improves the success rate of personnel using bolts to pre-connect the screw holes on the water distribution pipe and reduces the workload of personnel during installation operations.
[0029] Furthermore, a baffle 7 is sleeved around the outer ring of the rod 6, located within the inner cavity of the adjacent housing 10. The bottom of the baffle 7 abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity of the adjacent housing 10. Specifically, by providing a contact between the baffle 7 and the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 10, when the rod 6 moves under the action of an external force, the baffle 7 acts as a stopper, preventing the rod 6 from completely separating from the housing 10, ensuring stable movement of the rod 6 within a predetermined range. This design optimizes the guidance and positioning of the rod 6, improving the reliability and safety of the connection.
[0030] Furthermore, a spring 8 is mounted on the outer ring of the insertion rod 6. The top of the baffle 7 is elastically connected to the top of the inner cavity of the adjacent housing 10 via the spring 8. Specifically, through the elastic connection between the spring 8, the baffle 7, and the top of the housing 10, when the insertion rod 6 is inserted into the hole in the water distribution pipe, the elastic force of the spring 8 can further ensure that the insertion rod 6 is firmly inserted, preventing loosening due to vibration or external forces. At the same time, when the insertion rod 6 needs to be pulled out, the spring 8 can also provide a certain amount of assistance, making the operation more labor-saving.
[0031] Furthermore, one end of spring 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjacent baffle 7, and the other end of spring 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the adjacent housing 10. Specifically, by directly fixing the two ends of spring 8, the stability of spring 8 and the reliability of elastic force transmission are ensured. This fixing method simplifies the structure, avoids the problem of elastic force failure caused by loose connection, and further enhances the stability of the connection between the insertion rod 6 and the water distribution pipe.
[0032] Furthermore, the extended end of the insertion rod 6 is fixedly connected to a handle 9. Specifically, by providing the handle 9 with a fixed connection to the extended end of the insertion rod 6, a convenient point for the operator to apply force is provided. When the insertion rod 6 needs to be moved for insertion or removal, the operator can easily apply force through the handle 9, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the operation.
[0033] Furthermore, an extension rod 5 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the slide tube 4, one end of which is fixedly connected to a side of the adjacent housing 10. Specifically, the sliding connection between the slide tube 4 and the extension rod 5, as well as the fixed connection between the extension rod 5 and the housing 10, enables stable movement of the housing 10 along a defined track. This design ensures that the housing 10 maintains linear motion when pushing the insertion rod 6, avoiding insertion failures caused by deviation or shaking, while also improving the stability and reliability of the entire connection process.
