[0031] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cooling tower provided by the utility model is provided with annular filler structure in the cylindrical tower body 1, that is, the filler 2 is a hollow cylinder in the height direction of the tower body 1, so that the flowing area of hot water vapor in the tower body 1 is concentrated in the space surrounded by the filler 2 and the space between the filler 2 and the inner wall of the tower body 1; in addition, the air supply mechanism 4 is arranged on the tower body 1, that is, for blowing air for heat dissipation, according to the distribution of water vapor, the air supply mechanism with the bellows 41 is arranged, the air blower outside the tower body 1 blows air into the bellows 41, because the bellows 41 surrounds the periphery of the filler 2, the cold air can pass through the filler 2 into the axial area of the tower body 1 and flow upward in the area and finally escape from the tower body 1; the design increases the heat dissipation effect of the cooling tower.
[0032] As shown, Figure 3 The bellows 41 is a stainless steel box, the air blower blows cold air into the bellows 41, and the cold air passes through the holes in the box into the filler 2.

[0033] As described above, in the cooling tower provided by the utility model and containing the anticorrosion structure, the cylindrical tower body 1 is provided with the annular filler 2, so that the tower body 1 contains a cavity in the middle, so that the hot air flow in the tower body 1 moves upward along the outer wall of the tower body 1 and the cavity in the middle of the tower body 1, that is, the hot air flow is gathered in the two spaces and flows in the spaces, the water treatment mechanism 5 is arranged in the spaces, so that the reactive substances in the water vapor and the reaction rod 51 in the interval perform chemical reaction, the components with corrosive properties in the water vapor are removed, and thus the problem that the structure in the cooling tower is easily corroded is solved from the source of corrosion.

The function of the water collection tank 7 is to collect the cooling water passing through the packing material 2 for recooling and recycling, thereby reducing water waste. To further improve the anti-corrosion effect of the cooling tower, an anti-corrosion coating is applied to the interior of the tower body 1 and the surface of the water distribution pipe, which can effectively extend the service life of the cooling tower.
