Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of open cooling tower technology, specifically to an easily disassembled open cooling tower energy consumer. Background Technology

[0002] In open cooling towers, the energy dissipator primarily functions to diffuse and buffer the impact of water flow, ensuring stable flow of cooling water within the water distribution tray and even distribution throughout the packing material. Currently, most pipes associated with open cooling towers are made of carbon steel. However, carbon steel pipes are prone to rusting during use due to the interaction of oxygen and water. This rust, along with other impurities in the system, gradually accumulates in the energy dissipator during operation. When a certain amount accumulates, it can clog the diffuser holes, causing cooling water to overflow directly from both sides of the top of the water distribution tray cover, resulting in a reduction in the cooling water circulation volume. When the water supply from the float valve is lower than the overflow rate at the top of the tower, the heat exchange efficiency of the open cooling tower is affected, and in severe cases, it can lead to operational failures in the main equipment.

[0003] The energy consuming unit is mainly installed together with the water inlet pipe and the water tap cover plate by bolts. However, the distance between the bottom of the energy consuming unit and the bottom plate of the water tap plate is too small, making it difficult to disassemble and clean the energy consuming unit quickly, which causes refrigeration failure. Therefore, how to quickly and thoroughly clean the impurities inside the energy consuming unit has become a rather tricky problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an easily disassembled open cooling tower energy consumer to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: an easily detachable open cooling tower energy consumer, including a water-spraying plate, an upper energy-consuming component installed on the upper end of the water-spraying plate, and a lower energy-consuming component detachably installed at the lower end of the upper energy-consuming component. The upper energy-consuming component is inserted into the water-spraying plate, and a connecting plate is provided at the lower end of the upper energy-consuming component. The upper end of the lower energy-consuming component is provided with a connector that connects to the connecting plate, so as to install the lower energy-consuming component at the lower end of the upper energy-consuming component. The lower energy-consuming component is internally connected to the upper energy-consuming component, so that impurities can be collected in the lower energy-consuming component. A limiting component is also provided on one side of the connector to limit the connection plate to prevent the connection plate from detaching. Personnel can remove the limiting component to disassemble the lower energy-consuming component and clean the impurities.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model:

[0007] The upper end of the water-spraying plate is provided with a cover plate, and the middle of the cover plate is provided with a corresponding through hole corresponding to the upper energy-consuming component. The upper energy-consuming component includes an integrally connected water guide pipe and an energy-consuming pipe. A fixing plate is provided on the outside of the connection between the water guide pipe and the energy-consuming pipe. The fixing plate is attached to the cover plate and fixed by bolts. The energy-consuming pipe is inserted into the water-spraying plate through the through hole.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model:

[0009] The outer end of the water pipe is provided with an energy-consuming flange, which is connected to a first flexible flange on one side of the flexible pipe through the energy-consuming flange. The flexible pipe is provided with a second flexible flange on the side away from the first flexible flange, which is connected to the water inlet pipe through the second flexible flange. The lower end of the water inlet pipe is provided with a water inlet flange that cooperates with the second flexible flange.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model:

[0011] The lower energy-consuming component includes an energy-consuming disk. The upper end of the energy-consuming disk is located inside the connector and has an opening that communicates with the energy-consuming pipe. The connector includes a connector plate corresponding to the connecting plate. The connector plate has a U-shaped structure and one side of the connector plate is open. A slot is formed between the inner side of the connector plate and the upper end of the energy-consuming disk. The connecting plate is slidably inserted into the slot so that the energy-consuming disk is installed at the lower end of the energy-consuming pipe.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model:

[0013] The limiting component includes a fixing rod. The plug-in plate has through holes on both sides of its open opening. The fixing rod passes through the through holes on both sides of the plug-in plate. One side of the fixing rod is abutted against the outer end of the plug-in plate by a screw head, and the other side is threaded to a nut and abutted against the outer end of the plug-in plate by a nut, thereby fixing the fixing rod to the plug-in plate. One side of the fixing rod is located at the outer end of the connecting plate to prevent the connecting plate from sliding out of the slot, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the lower energy-consuming components.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model:

[0015] The outer surfaces of the energy-consuming pipe and energy-consuming panel are provided with water outlet holes to disperse the flow and buffer the impact force of the water flow.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The energy consuming unit in this invention adopts a split structure. The upper energy consuming component is embedded in the slot of the lower energy consuming component through a connecting plate. One side of the slot is open, allowing the lower energy consuming component to move freely. When there are too many impurities inside the energy consuming unit and cleaning is required, simply remove the lower energy consuming component from the open slot. After thoroughly cleaning the rust and slag inside the lower energy consuming component, it can be reinstalled. This avoids obstruction of the water inlet pipe and also avoids disassembling the energy consuming unit's flange bolts and other components. To prevent excessive cooling water flow impact from causing displacement of the lower energy consuming component, a fixing rod is installed on the open side of the connecting plate. When it is necessary to remove the lower energy consuming component, first remove the nut, then pull out the fixing rod to remove the lower energy consuming component. The fixing rod avoids the problem of displacement caused by the split energy consuming unit.

[0017] This energy consumer has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble, and has low maintenance costs without changing the overall load-bearing capacity of the open cooling tower. It can quickly solve the problem of cooling water overflow caused by excessive rust and other impurities in the pipes, ensuring the heat exchange performance of the open cooling tower and enabling the supporting unit equipment to operate normally and stably.

A limiting component is also provided on one side of the connector to limit the connection plate 21 to prevent the connection plate 21 from detaching. Personnel can remove the limiting component to disassemble the lower energy-consuming component 3 and clean the impurities.

[0026] In this embodiment, the upper end of the water-spraying plate 1 is provided with a cover plate 11, and the middle part of the cover plate 11 is provided with a corresponding through hole corresponding to the upper energy-consuming component 2. The upper energy-consuming component 2 includes a water guide pipe 22 and an energy-consuming pipe 23 integrally connected.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lower energy-consuming component 3 includes an energy-consuming disk 31.

The connector includes a connector plate 32 provided with a corresponding connecting plate 21. The connector plate 32 has a U-shaped structure and one side of the connector plate 32 is an open structure.

The connecting plate 21 is slidably inserted into the slot 33 so that the energy-consuming disk 31 is installed at the lower end of the energy-consuming pipe 23.

[0029] In this embodiment, the limiting component includes a fixing rod 34. The plug plate 32 has through holes on both sides of its open opening.

One side of the slot 33 is open, allowing the lower energy consuming component 3 to move freely. When there are too many impurities inside the energy consuming device and it needs to be cleaned, simply remove the lower energy consuming component 3 from the open slot 33. After thoroughly cleaning the rust inside the lower energy consuming component 3, it can be reinstalled. This avoids obstruction by the water inlet pipe 5 and also avoids disassembling other parts such as the energy consuming device flange 25 bolts. To prevent excessive cooling water flow impact that could cause displacement of the lower energy consuming component 3, a fixing rod 34 is installed on the open side of the plug-in plate 32. When it is necessary to remove the lower energy consuming component 3, first remove the nut 35, then pull out the fixing rod 34 to remove the lower energy consuming component 3. The fixing rod 34 avoids the problem of displacement of the split energy consuming device.
