[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment proposes an antifreeze device with an air guide control damper, which includes a shutter unit 1 and an air guide control damper 4. The shutter unit 1 includes a left shutter, a right shutter and an upper shutter 3. The left shutter and the right shutter are each provided with several groups, which together form a ring structure; the air guide control damper 4 is placed below the upper shutter 3, and also includes a column 2, which is a vertically arranged square steel pipe placed on both sides of the air guide control damper 4 to fix the shutter unit 1, the air guide control damper 4 and the upper shutter 3; the shutter unit 1 and / or the upper shutter 3 include a shutter frame 31, fan blades 32 and a control component, and the control component is used to control the opening and closing of the shutter unit 1 and / or the upper shutter 3.
[0028] In the prior art, there are two types of cooling towers, one without air guide dampers 4 and the other with air guide dampers 4, depending on the local environment and design. Cooling towers without air guide dampers 4 are inconvenient to maintain internally, while towers with air guide dampers 4 are generally too tall and wide, and their upper ends are rarely used due to the position of the herringbone columns, which will have a certain impact on the cooling performance of the cooling tower. In the above design, upper louvers 3 are provided above the air guide dampers 4. The upper louvers 3 and the air guide dampers 4 form an integral whole, and the opening and closing angles of the upper louvers 3 are controlled by a control component. The upper portion is used for ventilation and cooling, while the lower portion of the air guide dampers 4 is used for maintenance equipment and the entry and exit of personnel. The control component further controls the opening and closing angles of the upper louvers 3 to achieve the function of guiding air flow and controlling wind. Combined with the different opening degrees of the surrounding louver units 1, the cooling performance of the cooling tower is further improved. Under antifreeze conditions, the upper louvers 3 can be fully closed according to antifreeze requirements.
[0029] In some embodiments, the wind guide control door 4 also includes a crossbeam 9, which is located between the upper louvers 3 and the wind guide control door 4, and the columns 2 are located on both sides of the wind guide control door 4; the crossbeam 9 and the columns 2 further increase the stability of the upper louvers 3 and the wind guide control door 4, and can also serve as a skeleton to withstand a certain degree of collision.
[0030] In some embodiments, the shutter frame 31 is composed of a horizontal square steel tube and a vertical square steel tube, and a connecting hole is set on the inner side of the vertical square steel tube for fixing the position of the fan blades 32; wherein, the fan blades 32 are arranged in several groups from top to bottom, and are connected and fixed to the shutter frame 31 through the rotating shafts set at both ends.
[0031] Furthermore, the control component includes an ear plate 6 connected to the rotating shaft, and the ear plate 6 is commonly connected to a transmission rod 7. The angles of all the fan blades 32 are centrally adjusted by the transmission rod 7, so that the opening and closing or the opening and closing angles of the fan blades 32 can be quickly adjusted.
[0032] Furthermore, the upper louver 3 is provided with transmission rods 7 on both sides to connect all the blades 32. At the lower end of the transmission rods 7, a long connecting rod 8 is provided downward along the column 2. The lower end of the long connecting rod 8 is provided with a connecting bolt, which connects to the opening positioning hole or to the transmission rod 7 of the louver unit 1 on the left or right side. By moving the long connecting rod 8 up and down, the blades 32 of the upper louver 3 can be opened or closed, or the opening and closing angle can be adjusted to achieve the optimal ventilation state according to the current environment.
[0033] In some embodiments, the air guide and control damper 4 is composed of several groups of detachable unit doors arranged in a horizontal array, and the unit doors can be opened and closed. Specifically, there are two groups of unit doors, and the left and right sides of the two unit doors are respectively hinged to the pillars 2. The unit doors include at least two groups of hinged door panels, and the door panels can be folded together. When large maintenance equipment needs to enter the interior of the shutter units 1 arranged in a circular array for operation, the door panels are pulled to fold them relative to the shutter units 1, so that the interior is opened to facilitate the entry and exit of maintenance equipment. The unit doors are provided with handles. Under normal conditions, the unit doors are opened by the handles to enable staff to enter and exit.
[0034] Furthermore, the opening and closing angle of the unit door can be adjusted to 0°~150°. Under non-antifreeze conditions, the corresponding opening degree can be selected according to the actual environmental wind direction, for example, at different opening and closing angles such as 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, etc., to achieve the effect of guiding and controlling the wind, and cooperate with the different opening degrees of the surrounding shutter units 1 to further improve the cooling performance of the cooling tower; under antifreeze conditions, the wind guide control door 4 and the upper shutters 3 can be fully closed according to antifreeze requirements.
[0035] In some embodiments, a detachable threshold 5 is provided at the bottom of the air guide and control door 4 , and when maintenance equipment enters or exits, the threshold 5 can be removed to facilitate the entry or exit of the maintenance equipment.
[0036] In some embodiments, pads are arranged at intervals below several groups of louver units 1 in a circular array. During the operation of the cooling tower, water droplets and impurities will be discharged with the air. The louver units 1 are raised by the pads to reduce the possibility of bottom blockage. At the same time, the raised louver units 1 can improve the airflow distribution inside the cooling tower, avoid the formation of dead corners and vortices, and improve cooling efficiency.
[0037] In some embodiments, the unit door is in the form of a louver-type door leaf 10, which is composed of a door leaf frame 101 and several groups of louvers 102. It also includes a synchronization rod and a self-locking part for connecting or fixing the several groups of louvers 102 of the louver-type door leaf 10. By controlling the opening of the several groups of louvers 102 of the louver-type door leaf 10, the negative pressure generated by the suction force of the cooling tower itself is released, and the difficulty of opening and closing the air guide control damper 4 is optimized. At the same time, the opening degree of the louvers 102 can be set according to anti-freezing requirements.
[0038] Furthermore, under antifreeze conditions, the door shutters 102 are closed and the self-locking parts are fixed. When it is necessary to enter for maintenance, the shutters 102 are first opened, and the opening is temporarily adjusted to fully open and fixed to eliminate the negative pressure caused by the tower's own suction. After opening the door to enter, the shutters 102 are closed and fixed on the inside. When the maintenance is completed and you come out, similarly, the shutters 102 are first opened and fixed, and then the door is opened. After you come out, the shutters 102 are fully closed and fixed again; under non-antifreeze conditions, the door shutters 102 are in a fully open and fixed state, which does not affect the normal air intake of the cooling tower. When maintenance is required, you can directly open the door and pass through.
[0039] Working principle of this device:
[0040] In the anti-freezing state, the air guide and control dampers 4, the shutter units 1 in a circular array, and the upper shutters 3 are in a closed state.
[0041] In the non-antifreeze state, relevant personnel can choose to pull down the long connecting rod 8 to adjust the ventilation angle of the fan blades 32 according to the actual environmental wind direction, and keep the long connecting rod 8 in the current state after adjusting to the appropriate angle; further, the opening and closing angle of the wind guide control door 4 can also be adjusted, and the shutter unit 1 and the upper shutter 3 can be opened to different degrees to achieve the effect of guiding and controlling the wind, thereby further improving the cooling performance of the cooling tower.
[0042] When maintenance equipment needs to be entered or exited or personnel need to enter or exit, open the unit door to allow maintenance equipment or personnel to enter or exit.
[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
