Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling tower ventilation, in particular to a cooling tower ventilation device. Background Art

[0002] A cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and discharge it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. It uses the principles of evaporative heat dissipation, convection heat transfer, and radiation heat transfer to dissipate excess heat generated in industry or refrigeration and air conditioning to lower the water temperature by using water as a circulating coolant and dissipating it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. The device is generally barrel-shaped, hence the name cooling tower.

[0003] To ensure heat dissipation, existing cooling towers are usually equipped with ventilation devices to ventilate and introduce outside air into the cooling tower. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209892481 U discloses a "Cooling Tower Ventilation Device" which, by providing a movable frame, allows users to easily disassemble and install the air duct, thus facilitating maintenance and cleaning of the air duct. The structure of the baffle and the air duct facilitates dust protection of the air duct, preventing external dust from entering the interior of the air duct and causing blockage. The structure of the drive wheel and transmission belt increases the stability of the connection between the two, while also improving the driving efficiency of the motor.

[0004] However, in actual use, the cooling tower needs to be shut down when the air duct is disassembled for maintenance and cleaning to avoid affecting the disassembly and assembly. The cooling tower itself has a large ventilation volume when working, which can easily suck external debris into the cooling tower and affect the operation of the cooling tower.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
