Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, and more specifically, to a self-cooling water tower. Background Technology

[0002] A self-cooling tower, also known as a natural draft cooling tower or cooling tower, is a device used in industrial cooling and air conditioning systems. It mainly cools through air convection. When the cooling tower is working, the hot air inside rises, creating airflow that draws in fresh air from the bottom, thus carrying away the heat inside the tower. Water inside the cooling tower flows down along the tower wall or packing layer under gravity. During this process, the water exchanges heat with the rising air, lowering the temperature of the hot water, while the air absorbs some moisture, causing the water to evaporate and further lowering its temperature. The hot air is discharged at the top of the tower, and the cooled water is returned to the equipment or system that needs cooling through pipes. During the exhaust process, a fan is used to accelerate the exhaust efficiency of the tower. Since the air vents at the top of the tower are open upwards, it is necessary to implement exhaust protection measures for the air vents.

[0003] In related technologies, cooling towers are typically installed outdoors and connected to external pipelines so that they can discharge air to the outside through vents for cooling.

[0004] However, in the current use of cooling towers, since they are generally used outdoors and the air vents are open and facing upwards, it is very easy for external debris to enter the tower body through the air vents during operation, interfering with the normal exhaust work of the tower body, and even damaging the exhaust fan, thus affecting the cooling and exhaust stability and smoothness of the cooling tower.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-cooling water tower, including a tower body 1 and a cooling protection mechanism. The top of the tower body 1 is provided with an air vent 2, and a fan 3 is installed inside the air vent 2. The air vent 2 and the fan 3 can be covered and protected by a perforated structure to prevent external debris from passing through the air vent 2 and interfering with the operation of the fan 3 inside the tower body. Therefore, the stability and smoothness of the cooling and exhaust of the tower body 1 through the air vent 2 and the fan 3 are improved.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, the cooling protection mechanism includes a protective frame 4, which is movably connected to the top of the tower body 1. A lifting frame 5 is movably connected inside the protective frame 4. Support openings 6 are opened on both sides of the top of the protective frame 4. A support frame 7 is movably connected inside the support openings 6. The bottom of the support frame 7 contacts the inner wall of the air vent 2. A lifting connection mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the lifting frame 5. By holding the protective frame 4, the lifting frame 5 is moved to the top of the tower body 1, and then the protective frame 4 is moved downwards, so that the protective frame 4 and the lifting frame 5 are fitted onto the outside of the air vent 2. At this time, the support frame 7 moves with the protective frame 4 and contacts the inner wall of the air vent 2, providing support and stability between the protective frame 4 and the air vent 2. The lifting frame 4, in conjunction with the lifting frame 5, provides perforated coverage and protection for the air vent 2 and fan 3 during cooling and exhaust. The lifting connection mechanism includes a connecting port 8, a connecting column 9, and a connecting frame 10. The connecting port 8 is located around the perimeter of the protective frame 4. The connecting column 9 is fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the lifting frame 5. The connecting column 9 passes through the protective frame 4 via the connecting port 8. The connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting column 9. This mechanism enables lifting and connecting the lifting frame 5 and the protective frame 4 to prevent misalignment. At the same time, because the connecting port 8 is a strip-shaped opening, the protective frame 4 can be kept breathable during the lifting and adjusting of the lifting frame 5. This improves the connection effect between the lifting frame 5 and the protective frame 4 and the smoothness of exhaust.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-3In a preferred embodiment, a clamping ring 11 is movably connected to the surface of the connecting frame 10, and a rubber ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamping ring 11. The inner side of the rubber ring 12 contacts the outer side of the protective frame 4. The connecting frame 10 provides a medium for the user to clamp and position the protective frame 4 and the lifting frame 5, avoiding the situation where the lifting frame 5 is difficult to lift and position during use. Therefore, the positioning convenience of the lifting frame 5 is improved. Both sides of the connecting frame 10 are provided with translation openings 13, and a translation frame 14 is movably connected inside the translation openings 13. The outer side of the translation frame 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamping ring 11, which can guide the translation connection between the clamping ring 11 and the connecting frame 10, avoiding the situation where the clamping ring 11 is misaligned or difficult to move stably during use. Therefore, the translation connection effect between the clamping ring 11 and the connecting frame 10 is improved.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-3 In a preferred embodiment, magnetic strips 15 are embedded and connected to both sides of the inner wall of the translation port 13, and magnetic sheets 16 that are magnetically connected to the magnetic strips 15 are embedded and connected to the top and bottom of both sides of the translation frame 14. The translation frame 14 can be used to magnetically position the clamping ring 11 and the connecting frame 10, avoiding the difficulty in positioning the clamping ring 11. This improves the positioning convenience of the clamping ring 11. The translation frame 14 has a screw hole 17 inside, and a stud 18 is threaded inside the screw hole 17. The inner side of the stud 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the translation port 13. The translation frame 14 can apply a clamping and positioning force to the clamping ring 11, avoiding the difficulty in applying a clamping and positioning force when using the clamping ring 11. This improves the clamping and positioning effect of the clamping ring 11.

[0034] Reference Figures 2-4 In a preferred embodiment, a connecting groove 19 is provided on the inner side of the inner wall of the translation port 13. A connecting seat 20 is movably connected inside the connecting groove 19. The outer side of the connecting seat 20 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the stud 18. This allows for a rotatable connection between the stud 18 and the connecting frame 10, preventing the stud 18 from separating from the connecting frame 10 during use. This improves the stability of the stud 18. Magnetic frames 21 are movably connected to both sides of the support frame 7. The top of the magnetic frames 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 4. Magnetic plates 22, which are magnetically connected to the magnetic frames 21, are embedded on both sides of the support frame 7. This allows for magnetic positioning and stability between the support frame 7 and the protective frame 4, preventing difficulties in positioning the support frame 7 during use. This improves the ease of positioning the support frame 7.

[0035] Specifically, the working process or working principle of this self-cooling water tower is as follows: During use, based on the required support length of the support frame 7 for the top air vent 2 of the tower body 1, the support frame 7 is moved up and down by hand, adjusting its extension length. At this time, the magnetic plate 22 moves inside the magnetic frame 21 along with the support frame 7, and the magnetic frame 21 magnetically positions the moved support frame 7 against the protective frame 4. Then, the protective frame 4 is moved by hand, driving the lifting frame 5 to the top of the tower body 1, and then the protective frame 4 is moved downwards, fitting the protective frame 4 and lifting frame 5 onto the outside of the air vent 2. At this time, the support frame 7 moves with the protective frame 4 and contacts the inner wall of the air vent 2, providing stable support between the protective frame 4 and the air vent 2. Based on the gap between the protective frame 4 and the top of the air vent 2 supported by the support frame 7, the connecting frame 10 is moved by hand, driving the lifting frame 5 downwards via the connecting column 9, so that the lifting frame 5 covers the gap between the protective frame 4 and the air vent 2. Since the connecting port 8 is a strip-shaped opening, the connecting column 9 is positioned at the connecting port... 8. Internal movement: This connects the lifting frame 5 and the protective frame 4, ensuring the openness of the protective frame 4 and lifting frame 5 after adjustment via the connection port 8. After the lifting frame 5 is adjusted, the hand-held stud 18 rotates through the screw hole 17 to apply a translational thrust to the translation frame 14. At this time, the connecting seat 20 moves with the stud 18 within the connecting groove 19, performing a rotational connection between the stud 18 and the connecting frame 10. This causes the translation frame 14 to move within the translation port 13, applying a translational force to the clamping ring 11, thus promoting... The clamping ring 11 drives the rubber ring 12 to move and contact the protective frame 4 to clamp it. The clamping and positioning work is carried out between the moving lifting frame 5 and the protective frame 4. At this time, the magnetic strip 15 and the magnetic sheet 16 are used to magnetically position the translation frame 14 and the stud 18 during operation through the translation frame 14 to ensure the clamping and positioning effect of the clamping ring 11. When the tower body 1 cools and exhausts the internal air through the air outlet 2 and the fan 3, the protective frame 4 and the lifting frame 5 are used to cover and protect the air outlet 2 and the fan 3 during cooling and exhaust.

[0036] It should be noted that the tower body 1, the air outlet 2 and the fan 3 are all existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented with existing technology. Their power supply, specific composition and principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail.
