Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A cooling tower uses water as a circulating coolant, absorbing heat from the system and discharging it to the atmosphere, thereby lowering the air temperature within the tower. This allows for the reusable use of cooling water and is widely used in air conditioning systems and industrial water cooling. Within a cooling tower, a water collector is essential. Because water and air flow in opposite directions, water is sprayed downward into a collection basin, while air is moved upward by an electrically powered fan. In actual industrial production or use, some cooling water is inevitably pumped out of the cooling tower, which not only adversely affects the environment outside the tower but also reduces the amount of recycled cooling water, wasting water resources.

[0003] The wind speed at different positions in the cooling tower is different, and the wind speed will change during operation. The current fixed-angle water-collecting blades cannot automatically adjust the angle according to the change of wind speed. When the wind speed is high, the shear force of the airflow on the water droplets increases, which easily causes the water droplets already attached to the water-collecting blades to be blown away again, resulting in reduced water collection efficiency. When the wind speed is low, the water-collecting blades may not be able to fully utilize the kinetic energy of the airflow to effectively collect water droplets, which will also affect the water collection effect.

[0038] The water collector for a cooling tower provided by the present invention operates as follows: During operation, the frame 1 first provides a stable support structure for the entire device, and the motor cover 2 provides good protection for the rotating motor 3. The rotating motor 3 then starts, and the rotating shaft 4 at one end thereof begins to rotate, causing the peak-up cam 5 and the peak-down cam 6 fixed to the rotating shaft 4 to rotate synchronously therewith. The roller 20 at one end of the round rod 16 is in close sliding contact with the peak-up cam 5 and the peak-down cam 6, respectively. When the cam rotates, the roller 20, pushed by the cam profile, drives the round rod 16 to slide within the block 15. The lifting block 17 fixed to the outside of the round rod 16 and the lifting block 19 connected to the other end of the lifting block 17 via a short pin 18 also move in response to the movement of the round rod 16. The movable connection between the lifting block 19 and the slide bar 12 allows the slide bar 12 to slide within the curved groove block 11. Sliding rod 12 is fixedly connected to water-collecting blade 10 via externally articulated connector block 13. Furthermore, the articulated connection of cylinder 8 within sleeve 7 further assists and guides the movement of water-collecting blade 10, enabling it to perform specific movements through the coordinated action of multiple components. Finally, an air volume sensor 22, mounted on the exterior of frame 1, monitors the air volume within the cooling tower in real time. If the air volume changes, sensor 22 quickly transmits a signal, thereby adjusting the speed of rotating motor 3 accordingly. When the wind volume increases, the speed of the rotating motor 3 increases, and the rotation speed of the convex upward cam 5 and the convex downward cam 6 increases. Through the interaction with the roller 20, the water collecting blade 10 is driven to quickly adjust to a larger angle, so as to better cope with the high-speed airflow and efficiently collect water droplets; when the wind volume decreases, the speed of the rotating motor 3 decreases, and the water collecting blade 10 is adjusted to a smaller angle accordingly, which can not only ensure the water collection effect, but also reduce energy consumption, and ultimately realize the intelligent and precise control of the angle of the water collecting blade 10 according to the wind volume, effectively optimize the overall performance of the water collector, improve the operating efficiency and stability of the cooling tower, reduce the waste of water resources and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0039] Compared with the related art, the water collector for cooling tower provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] The utility model provides a water collector for a cooling tower. When the wind volume inside the cooling table is large, the wind volume sensor 22 transmits a signal to control the rotating motor 3 to appropriately increase the rotation speed, so that the peak-up cam 5 and the peak-down cam 6 rotate faster, and through the action of the roller 20, the water collecting blade 10 is driven to quickly adjust to a more suitable large angle to better cope with high-speed airflow and efficiently collect water droplets. When the wind volume inside the cooling table is small, the speed of the rotating motor 3 is reduced, and the water collecting blade 10 is adjusted to a smaller angle, which reduces energy consumption while ensuring the water collection effect, and realizes intelligent and precise control of the angle of the water collecting blade 10 according to the wind volume, optimizes the overall performance of the water collector, improves the operating efficiency and stability of the cooling tower, reduces water resource waste and extends the service life of the equipment.
