Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling towers, in particular to a water collector for a cooling tower. Background Art

[0002] A cooling tower is a heat exchange device that exposes water to the air in the form of spray or dripping water, and uses the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption to reduce the temperature of water. The water collector is an important component of the cooling tower system. Its main function is to collect water lost due to water evaporation and air flow, and circulate it back into the cooling tower, thereby improving cooling efficiency and reducing water waste.

[0003] Authorization publication number CN201844745U, "A High-Efficiency Water Collector," provides a device consisting of water collecting plates and a bracket placed between the plates, which are connected and fixed by screws and nuts. However, a disadvantage is that when a water collecting plate needs to be removed or replaced, all the water collecting plates above it must be removed first, which makes the replacement process cumbersome and inefficient. After the replacement is completed, the water collecting plates need to be reinstalled one by one, further increasing the workload and reducing the efficiency of water collecting plate replacement. Summary of the Invention

The vertical rod is a round rod, and the diameter of the vertical rod matches the width of the inclined hole and the sliding hole.

[0009] Furthermore, sliding grooves are provided on opposite sides of the two support plates, and sliders are connected to both ends of the clamping plate. The two sliders extend into the sliding grooves on the support plates on the same side and are in sliding contact with the sliding grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the length of the sliding rod is smaller than the length of the sleeve in which it is located, and the driving member includes a screw and a rotating plate. The screw is threadedly connected to the sliding rod, and the left end of the screw is rotatably connected to the left support plate, and the right end moves through the right support plate; the right end of the screw is connected to the rotating plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the screw is located at the rear side of the inclined hole on the sliding rod.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

The slide rod 6 is driven by a driving member and slides left and right in the sleeve 5. The slide rod 6 is a rectangular rod in sliding contact with the inner wall of the sleeve 5. The slide rod 6 is provided with inclined holes 9 at intervals. The left end of each inclined hole 9 is tilted backward. The lower side of the sleeve 5 is provided with a splint 10 that is slidably connected to the support plate 1 on the same side. The splint 10 is located on the front side of the upper convex rib 3. The bottom plate of the sleeve 5 is provided with a sliding hole 11 corresponding to the inclined hole 9. The upper end of the splint 10 is connected to a vertical rod 12. The free end of the vertical rod 12 passes through the sliding hole 11 and extends into the inclined hole 9. The baffle 8 and splint 10 are both rectangular plates. The width of the baffle 8 and splint 10 matches the width of the upper convex rib 3.

[0023] The two support plates 1 are both provided with through holes 18 for the water-receiving sheets to pass through.

[0024] The inclined hole 9 and the sliding hole 11 are both rectangular holes of equal width. Each sliding hole 11 is arranged along the width direction of the sleeve 5, and each inclined hole 9 is arranged along the length direction of the sliding rod 6. The vertical rod 12 is a round rod, and the diameter of the vertical rod 12 corresponds to the width of the inclined hole 9 and the sliding hole 11.

[0025] A slide groove 13 is provided on the opposite sides of the two support plates 1, and the two ends of the slide groove 13 respectively pass through the two end surfaces of the support plate 1. The slide groove 13 is a U-shaped groove arranged along the length direction of the support plate 1. Both ends of the splint 10 are connected to a slider 14, and the slider 14 is a rectangular block. Both sliders 14 extend into the slide groove 13 on the support plate 1 on the same side and are in sliding contact with the slide groove 13.

[0026] The length of the sliding rod 6 is smaller than the length of the sleeve 5 in which it is located. The driving member includes a screw 16 and a rotating plate 17. The screw 16 is threadedly connected to the sliding rod 6. The left end of the screw 16 is rotatably connected to the support plate 1 on the left, and the right end moves through the support plate 1 on the right; the right end of the screw 16 is connected to the rotating plate 17.

[0027] The screw rod 16 is located at the rear side of the inclined hole 9 on the slide rod 6 .

[0028] During installation, since the slide bar 6 on each connecting member slides left and right in the sleeve 5, the screw 16 on each connecting member is rotated to drive the connected slide bar 6 to move to the left. When the slide bar 6 moves to the left, the inclined hole 9 on the slide bar 6 presses the internal vertical rod 12 to drive the splint 10 to move in the direction away from the baffle 8 of the connecting member until the slide bar 6 stops moving to the left. At this time, the distance between the splint 10 on the connecting member and the baffle 8 is the largest;

[0029] The left end of each water-collecting piece passes through the through holes 18 on the two support plates 1 in sequence, and the right end is located on the right side of the right support plate 1. The upper rib 3 of the water-collecting piece is located between the baffle 8 and the clamping plate 10 of the upper connecting piece, and the lower rib 4 of the water-collecting piece is located between the baffle 8 and the clamping plate 10 of the lower connecting piece. Then, the screw 16 on the upper connecting piece is rotated in the opposite direction to make the slide bar 6 move to the right. When the slide bar 6 moves to the right, the inclined hole 9 on the slide bar 6 presses the vertical rod 12 inside to drive the clamping plate 10 and move in the direction of the baffle 8 close to the connecting piece until the clamping plate 10 clamps the upper rib 3. Similarly, the screw 16 on the lower connecting piece is rotated in the opposite direction, and the clamping plate 10 clamps the lower rib 4. At this time, the water-collecting piece is limited and fixed;

[0030] When it is necessary to remove and replace any water-collecting sheet, rotate the screws 16 on the upper and lower connecting parts of the water-collecting sheet to move the clamping plate 10 on each connecting part away from the baffle 8 of the connecting part. The upper and lower convex ribs 3 and lower convex ribs 4 on the upper and lower sides of the water-collecting sheet body 2 are no longer clamped. The water-collecting sheet can be pulled out from the two support plates 1. Repeat the above installation process to install and fix the new water-collecting sheet.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Without violating the spirit of the present invention, that is, within the scope of disclosure, any equivalent or equivalent deformation or replacement of the technical solution of the utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
