[0006] Preferably, in the technical solution, the water collecting unit is arranged obliquely toward the short side of the frame connected to the return water channel.

[0007] Preferably, in the technical solution, the water collecting channel has an S-wave structure, which extends the length of the water collecting channel, prolongs the water vapor passing time, and increases the water vapor recovery amount.

[0008] Preferably, in the technical solution, the top edge of the water collecting channel is curled to form a water collecting portion, and the water collecting channel guides water vapor into the water collecting portion to condense into water droplets for collection.

[0009] Preferably, in the technical solution, the return water circuit includes a return water main, a water collection pipe, and a return water branch pipe. The water collection pipe is arranged horizontally, and return water branch pipes are evenly distributed on the water collection pipe. The return water branch pipes are connected to the short side of one side of the frame. The return water main is arranged vertically, and the two ends of the return water main are respectively connected to the water collection pipe and the water collecting tank.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Unless expressly stated otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" or variations such as "include" or "comprising", etc., will be understood to include the stated elements or components but not to exclude other elements or other components.

[0017] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a cooling tower water collector that can collect drift water independently includes a water collecting unit 1, a frame 2, and a return water channel; the frame 2 is a rectangular structure, and the frame 2 is arranged above the spray mechanism 10; multiple rows of water collecting units 1 are arranged in the frame 2, and the two ends of the water collecting units 1 are respectively fixed on the short sides 3 on both sides of the frame 2, and the return water channel includes a return water main 4, a water collection pipe 5, and a return water branch pipe 6. The water collection pipe 5 is arranged horizontally, and the return water branch pipe 6 is evenly distributed on the water collection pipe 5. The return water branch pipe 6 is connected to the short side 3 on one side of the frame 2, the return water main 4 is arranged vertically, and the two ends of the return water main 4 are respectively connected to the water collection pipe 5. The pipe 5 and the water collecting trough 7 are connected; the water collecting unit 1 is inclined to the short side 3 of the frame connected to the return branch pipe 6; the water collecting unit 1 includes a water collecting channel 8 and a water collecting part 9. The water collecting channel 8 is located on the water vapor flow path. The water collecting channel 8 is an S-wave structure, which extends the length of the water collecting channel 8, extends the water vapor passing time, and increases the water vapor recovery amount. The top edge of the water collecting channel 8 is curled to form the water collecting part 9.

The water collecting channel 8, the water collecting part 9, the short side 3 of the frame, the return branch pipe 6, the water collecting pipe 5, and the return main pipe 4 form a drift water recovery channel.

[0018] When the closed cooling tower is working, the spray mechanism 10 sprays cooling water downward, and the sprayed water falls into the water collecting tank 7. At the same time, water vapor moves from bottom to top toward the exhaust of the closed cooling tower with the air. During the rising process, the water vapor passes through the S-shaped water collecting channel 8 and is guided to the water collecting part 9. The water vapor condenses into water droplets in the narrow water collecting part 9, and the water droplets flow along the water collecting part 9 toward the short side 3 of the frame. The water droplets collected by multiple water collecting units 1 are collected into the water collecting pipe 5 through the return water branch pipe 6 at the short side 3 of the frame to form a drift water collection flow. The drift water collection flow is returned to the water collecting tank 7 through the return water main 4 for recycling, thereby reducing the water consumption caused by drift water and alleviating water vapor corrosion of buildings or equipment around the cooling tower.
