Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cooling tower water collectors, specifically, it relates to a splash-proof structure for cooling tower water collectors. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling towers are widely used as key heat dissipation equipment in industrial production and large-scale air conditioning systems. Cooling tower water collectors are an indispensable component of cooling towers; their main function is to collect water droplets that may escape with the airflow during the heat exchange process, thereby reducing water waste and environmental impact.

[0003] However, the blades of the water collector are usually installed at a fixed angle, making it difficult to achieve a good fit with different models and settings of spray pipes. Factors such as the position, angle, and spray pressure of the spray pipe cause water droplets to fall in varying trajectories. The fixed angle of the water collector blades prevents flexible adjustment, making it difficult for the droplet trajectory to precisely align with the blades. On one hand, when water droplets fail to accurately collide with the blades, a large number of droplets are carried directly out of the cooling tower by the rising airflow, wasting water resources and increasing the cost of water replenishment for the cooling tower. On the other hand, even if some droplets collide with the blades, the mismatch between the blade angle and the droplet trajectory causes the droplets to bounce and splash again, reducing the water collector's efficiency and potentially causing water to splash onto surrounding equipment, leading to corrosion, short circuits, and other malfunctions, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the equipment.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a splash-proof structure for a cooling tower water collector. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a splash-proof structure for cooling tower water collectors to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A splash-proof structure for a cooling tower water collector includes a first mounting rod. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first mounting rod. A second mounting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the first mounting rod. A connector is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first mounting rod. An extension rod is threadedly connected to the end of the connector away from the first mounting rod. An ear block is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the extension rod. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the end of the ear block away from the extension rod. A sliding groove is formed on the outer wall of the first mounting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the extension rod is fitted with a first arc-shaped hook, one end of which is fixedly connected to a first support plate. The first support plate is in contact with the bottom of the arc-shaped plate.

[0009] Preferably, a second arc-shaped hook is snapped onto the outer wall of the extension rod, and a second support plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second arc-shaped hook. The second support plate fits against the top of the arc-shaped plate. By setting the second support plate and the second arc-shaped hook, the arc-shaped plate can be easily supported, preventing the arc-shaped plate from bending during use.

[0010] Preferably, the first arc-shaped hook and the second arc-shaped hook are in opposite directions to limit the first support plate and the second support plate. By setting the first arc-shaped hook and the second arc-shaped hook to be in opposite directions, the diagonal limiting is used to improve the stability of the first support plate and the second support plate.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating block is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod to facilitate the operator to rotate the threaded rod. By setting the rotating block, it is convenient for the operator to rotate the rotating block with a socket wrench.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3A splash-proof structure for a cooling tower water collector includes a first mounting rod 1, of which two are provided. Taking one of the first mounting rods 1 as an example, a connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first mounting rod 1. Two connecting rods 2 are provided, located at opposite ends of the first mounting rod 1. A second mounting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the end of the two connecting rods 2 away from the first mounting rod 1. A connector 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first mounting rod 1. Several connectors 4 are provided, located on the outer walls of the first mounting rod 1 and the second mounting rod 3. Taking two connectors 4 at the same level as an example, the end of each connector 4 away from the first mounting rod 1 is threaded with an extension... The outer walls of the two extension rods 5 are rotatably connected to lugs 6. Multiple lugs 6 are provided on the two extension rods 5 and are linearly distributed along the extension rods 5. An arc plate 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the multiple lugs 6 away from the extension rods 5. The outer wall of the first mounting rod 1 is provided with a sliding groove 8. A threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first mounting rod 1. The first mounting rod 1 is slidably connected to a slider 10 through the sliding groove 8. The inner wall of the slider 10 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 9. A pull rod 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the slider 10. The end of the pull rod 11 away from the slider 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 2. The connection point between the pull rod 11 and the connecting rod 2 is located at the end of the connecting rod 2 near the second mounting rod 3.

[0024] During installation, the operator can rotate the threaded rod 9 as needed. When the threaded rod 9 rotates, it drives the slider 10 to move linearly along the threaded rod 9. At this time, the slider 10 drives one end of the pull rod 11 to move. Since the end of the pull rod 11 away from the slider 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 2, and since the connection point between the pull rod 11 and the connecting rod 2 is located at the end of the connecting rod 2 closer to the second mounting rod 3, when the pull rod 11 moves and drives the connecting rod 2, the connecting rod 2 will rotate with its connection point with the first mounting rod 1 as the center, thereby driving the second mounting rod 3 to move towards one end of the first mounting rod 1. At this time, because The two rods are rotatably connected to the first mounting rod 1 and the second mounting rod 3 via the connector 4. Therefore, when the position between the first mounting rod 1 and the second mounting rod 3 changes, the angle of the arc plate 7 changes through the connector 4, extension rod 5, and lug 6. This facilitates the improvement of the compatibility between the arc plate 7 and the water spraying equipment, so that water droplets that might have splashed out change direction due to collision and slide down along the blade surface. After the water droplets come into contact with the blade, they will be orderly gathered and flow towards the water collection area under the action of gravity and blade surface tension, reducing the possibility of secondary splashing and avoiding direct splashing out of the cooling tower.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The outer wall of the extension rod 5 is fitted with a first arc hook 14. The first arc hook 14 is arc-shaped and its opening faces the top of the arc plate 7. One end of the first arc hook 14 is fixedly connected to a first support plate 13, and the first support plate 13 is in contact with the bottom of the arc plate 7.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the extension rod 5 is fitted with a second arc-shaped hook 16. The second arc-shaped hook 16 is arc-shaped and its opening faces the bottom of the arc plate 7. One end of the second arc-shaped hook 16 is fixedly connected to a second support plate 15, which is in contact with the top of the arc plate 7.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first arc hook 14 and the second arc hook 16 are in opposite directions. The first arc hook 14 and the second arc hook 16 are located at opposite ends of the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 15, respectively, and the openings of the first arc hook 14 and the second arc hook 16 are also opposite. In use, the operator can hook the first arc hook 14 and the second arc hook 16 onto the extension rod 5 at different positions, so that the two fixed points of the first arc hook 14 and the second arc hook 16 form an oblique line limit, thereby improving the limiting stability of the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 15, and thus improving the stability of the arc plate 7.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the threaded rod 9 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 12. The cross-section of the rotating block 12 is hexagonal. The operator can use the socket wrench 19 to rotate the rotating block 12, thereby driving the threaded rod 9 to rotate and improving efficiency.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The top of the second support plate 15 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 17. Mounting bases 17 are provided on the top of the second support plate 15 and the bottom of the first support plate 13. Adjusting rods 18 are rotatably connected to the inner sidewalls of all mounting bases 17. The threads on two opposing adjusting rods 18 are in opposite directions. Two adjusting rods 18 form a group. A sleeve 19 is threadedly connected to the outer sidewall of this group of adjusting rods 18. In use, the operator can rotate the sleeve 19. Since the threads on the two opposing adjusting rods 18 are in opposite directions, when the sleeve 19 is rotated, the two adjusting rods 18 will move in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the distance between the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 15. The adjusting rods 18 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 17. Therefore, when the angle of the arc plate 7 is adjusted, the angle between the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 15 will also be adjusted synchronously, so that the first support plate 13, the second support plate 15 and the arc plate 7 are always in contact.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] During installation, the operator can rotate the threaded rod 9 as needed. When the threaded rod 9 rotates, it drives the slider 10 to move linearly along the threaded rod 9. At this time, the slider 10 drives one end of the pull rod 11 to move. Since the end of the pull rod 11 away from the slider 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 2, and since the connection point between the pull rod 11 and the connecting rod 2 is located at the end of the connecting rod 2 near the second mounting rod 3, when the pull rod 11 moves and drives the connecting rod 2, the connecting rod 2 will rotate with its connection point with the first mounting rod 1 as the center, thereby driving the second mounting rod 3 to move towards one end of the first mounting rod 1. At this time, since the two rods are rotatably connected to the first mounting rod 1 and the second mounting rod 3 through the connector 4, when the position between the first mounting rod 1 and the second mounting rod 3 changes, the angle of the arc plate 7 changes through the connector 4, extension rod 5, and lug 6, thereby facilitating the improvement of the arc. The compatibility between the curved plate 7 and the water spraying equipment allows water droplets that might otherwise splash out to change direction due to collision and slide down along the blade surface. After contacting the blade, the water droplets will be orderly gathered and flow towards the water collection area under the action of gravity and blade surface tension, reducing the possibility of secondary splashing and preventing direct splashing out of the cooling tower. At the same time, the operator can rotate the sleeve 19. Since the threads on the two opposing adjustment rods 18 are in opposite directions, when the sleeve 19 is rotated, the two adjustment rods 18 will move in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the distance between the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 15. The adjustment rods 18 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 17, so when the angle of the curved plate 7 is adjusted, the angle between the first support plate 13 and the second support plate 15 will also be adjusted synchronously, so that the first support plate 13, the second support plate 15 and the curved plate 7 are always in contact.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
