[0031] Example

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the water collector for a cooling tower described in the embodiment of the present application includes a bracket 1 and a water collector body 2, the bracket 1 includes four support rods 3, the water collector body 2 includes a plurality of water collecting plates 4 arranged in parallel, the four support rods 3 are movably penetrated through the four ends of the water collecting plates 4, and first limit members 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the support rods 3. The first limit members 5 are used to limit the water collector body 2, and four groups of first adjustment mechanisms 6 are provided between two adjacent water collecting plates 4. The first adjustment mechanism 6 includes a first sleeve 7 and a second sleeve 8. The first sleeve 7 and the second sleeve 8 are both sleeved on the support rod 3, and the ends of the first sleeve 7 and the second sleeve 8 that are close to each other are threadedly connected, and the ends of the first sleeve 7 and the second sleeve 8 that are away from each other are respectively in contact with the water collecting plates 4.

[0033] During use, the first sleeve 7 and the second sleeve 8 are rotated, and the water collecting plate 4 can be slid after the first sleeve 7 and the second sleeve 8 move closer to or away from each other, so that the distance between two adjacent water collecting plates 4 can be adjusted according to the use requirements. Since the use of bolts is reduced, the convenience of installation is improved.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 5 is a cylindrical structure with an internal thread, and the end of the support rod 3 has an external thread. The first limiting member 5 is threadedly sleeved on the support rod 3. The installation position of the water collector body 2 can be adjusted by rotating the first limiting member 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, a first rubber sleeve 9 is provided at the end of the support rod 3. The first rubber sleeve 9 plays a protective role to prevent workers from being injured due to accidental touch.

[0036] In this embodiment, anti-slip grooves are provided on the first sleeve 7 , the second sleeve 8 and the first limiter 5 , and the anti-slip grooves are used to increase friction, thereby facilitating the rotation of the first sleeve 7 , the second sleeve 8 and the first limiter 5 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 also includes at least one reinforcement rod 10, which is movably arranged on several water collecting plates 4. The reinforcement rod 10 is used to improve the stability of the water collector body 2. Both ends of the reinforcement rod 10 are provided with a second limit member 11, and the second limit member 11 is used to limit the water collector body 2. The end of the reinforcement rod 10 is provided with a second rubber sleeve 12, and the second rubber sleeve 12 plays a protective role to prevent staff from being injured due to accidental touch.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second limiting member 11 is a cylindrical structure with an internal thread structure, and the end of the reinforcement rod 10 has an external thread. The second limiting member 11 is threadedly sleeved on the reinforcement rod 10. When in use, the installation position of the water collector body 2 can be adjusted by rotating the second limiting member 11.

[0039] In this embodiment, a second adjustment mechanism 13 is provided between two adjacent water receiving plates 4. The second adjustment mechanism 13 includes a third sleeve 14 and a fourth sleeve 15. The third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 are both sleeved on the reinforcement rod 10. The ends of the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 that are close to each other are threadedly connected, and the ends of the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 that are away from each other are respectively in contact with the water receiving plates 4. When in use, when the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 are rotated to bring the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 closer to each other, the distance between the two adjacent water receiving plates 4 can be reduced. When the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 are rotated to move the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 away from each other, the distance between the two adjacent water receiving plates 4 can be increased.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second limiter 11 , the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 are all provided with anti-slip grooves, which are used to increase friction, thereby facilitating the rotation of the second limiter 11 , the third sleeve 14 and the fourth sleeve 15 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the water collecting plate 4 is made of flame-retardant modified PVC material and has an M-shaped structure. The M-shaped structure is beneficial to increasing the deflection degree of rising water vapor, increasing the number of contacts between water vapor and the water collecting plate 4, and improving the water collecting effect.

[0042] In this embodiment, multiple guide grooves 16 are vertically arranged at both ends of the water collecting plate 4. The setting of the guide grooves 16 increases the contact area between the water vapor and the water collecting plate 4, so that more water vapor can be gathered into water droplets, thereby improving the water collection effect. The guide grooves 16 can guide the water flow, so that the recovered water can fall faster along a certain path, thereby improving the water collection speed.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
