Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling towers, in particular to a connection structure of a water distribution nozzle of a cooling tower. Background Art
[0002] A cooling tower is a device that uses water as a circulating coolant, absorbing heat from the system and discharging it into the atmosphere to reduce the water's temperature. The cooling tower's water distribution nozzles, also known as sprinkler heads or water distributors, primarily disperse water into a mist of fine droplets. These droplets, under the influence of air flow, fully contact and exchange heat with the air, thereby achieving the cooling effect of the cooling water.
[0003] The connection between the nozzle body and the water pipe on the water distribution nozzle is mainly through bolt connection. The authorization publication number CN221325225 U "A cooling tower nozzle installation device" mentioned that the bolts are in a humid environment and are easily corroded, causing the connection between the nozzle body and the water pipe to loosen. Moreover, when replacing the nozzle body, the bolts need to be tightened multiple times, which is inconvenient to operate and results in low efficiency in replacing the nozzle body. Summary of the Invention

A connecting rod is arranged in an annular array on the top of the connecting ring outside the first annular groove, and each connecting rod is provided with a limiting groove on the side opposite to the outer wall of the water delivery pipe. The limiting member comprises a fixing column and a limiting rod. The fixing column is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the water delivery pipe, and the limiting groove of each connecting rod extends upward into the fixing column.

A driving ring is slidingly provided in the upper and lower parts of the second annular groove. An elastic plate corresponding to the connecting rod and protruding toward the connecting rod is connected between the opposite surfaces of the two driving rings. The elastic plate is connected to the limiting rod with a free end extending into the limiting groove on the corresponding connecting rod. The fixing column is provided with a screw that drives the two driving rings to move relative to or away from each other.
[0007] Furthermore, the ring width of the annular groove 1 corresponds to the wall thickness of the water pipe, and a sealing gasket is provided on the bottom surface of the annular groove 1; the limit groove on the connecting rod on the left is a right-angled triangular groove with a straight bottom surface, an inclined surface with the upper end tilted to the left on the right side, and an open left end.
[0008] Furthermore, a blind hole corresponding to each connecting rod is opened on the bottom surface of the fixing column, and the free end of the limiting rod passes through the outer side surface of the blind hole and presses against the inclined surface of the limiting groove on the corresponding connecting rod.
[0009] Furthermore, when the inner side surface of each elastic plate contacts the side surface of the second ring groove, the free end of each limiting rod presses against the lower part of the inclined surface of the corresponding limiting groove, and there is a distance between the upper end of each connecting rod and the top surface of the blind hole in which it is located, and the sealing gasket in the first ring groove is compressed to the limit state.
[0010] Furthermore, the screw is threadedly connected to two driving rings, and the upper and lower parts of the circumferential wall of the screw are provided with thread one and thread two with opposite thread rotation directions. The lower end of the screw is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the ring groove two, and the upper end is movable through the fixed column on the upper side of the ring groove two and is connected to a rotating plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the side of the annular groove 2 for each limiting rod to move through; when the two driving rings move back to back and contact the upper and lower inner surfaces of the annular groove 2 respectively, the free end of the limiting rod on each elastic plate is located in the corresponding through hole; when the lower end of the water pipe extends into the annular groove 1 and the sealing gasket is in a natural state, the upper part of the inclined surface of the limiting groove of each connecting rod is opposite to the inside and outside of the corresponding through hole.
[0012] Through the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0013] The utility model drives the two driving rings to move relative to each other, so that each elastic plate drives the limiting rod to limit the limiting groove on the connecting rod, so that the connecting pipe and the nozzle body can be fixed to the water pipe. The free end of each limiting rod presses against the inclined surface of the limiting groove, driving each connecting rod to move upward. Multiple connecting rods drive the chain to move upward, and the sealing gasket in the ring groove is compressed to the limit state; the water pipe can be sealed and connected to the chain to avoid water leakage; conversely, the connecting pipe and the nozzle body are easy to disassemble.
