[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] Please refer to the accompanying diagrams in all instruction manuals:

[0021] A high-efficiency cooling tower includes a cooling tower body 1, a fan 2 at the upper end of the cooling tower body 1, an inlet pipe 3 and an outlet pipe 4 connected to the side of the cooling tower body 1, and a high-efficiency heat dissipation component corresponding to the inlet pipe 3.

[0022] The high-efficiency heat dissipation component includes a fixed ring 5 fixedly installed inside the cooling tower body 1, a support rod 6 fixedly installed between the fixed rings 5, a connecting pipe 7 fixedly installed between the support rods 6, a sliding groove 8 provided on the inner wall of the cooling tower body 1 below the fixed rings 5, a rotating disk 9 slidably connected in the sliding groove 8, a cavity 10 provided in the rotating disk 9, a plurality of nozzles 11 evenly connected on the lower side of the rotating disk 9, the rotating disk 9 rotatably connected to the connecting pipe 7, the connecting pipe 7 communicating with the cavity 10, a connecting rod 12 fixedly installed in the cavity 10, a plurality of blades 13 fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 12 extending out of the connecting pipe 7, a connecting pipe 14 connected to the cooling tower body 1 corresponding to the water inlet pipe 3, a connecting pipe 2 15 connected to the connecting pipe 7, and a tapered pipe 16 connected between the connecting pipe 14 and the connecting pipe 2 15.

[0023] As described above, hot water enters the cooling tower body 1 through the inlet pipe 3, and then enters the conical pipe 16 through the connecting pipe 14. The shape of the conical pipe 16 can accelerate the flow rate of the water. Then the water flow impacts the blade 13, causing the blade 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 12 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating disk 9 to rotate. At the same time, when the hot water enters the connecting pipe 2 15, it will enter the cavity 10 inside the rotating disk 9 through the transfer pipe 7, and finally be sprayed out through the nozzle 11.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a sealing ring 17 is fixedly installed on the rotating disk 9 corresponding to the connecting pipe 7;

[0025] As can be seen from the above description, the sealing ring 17 can improve the sealing performance of the adapter pipe 7 and the rotating disk 9 when they rotate relative to each other, and reduce the probability of water leakage.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the cooling tower body 1 is provided with a ventilation hole 18 between the water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4;

[0027] As can be seen from the above description, cold air from all directions enters the cooling tower body 1 through the ventilation hole 18. The cold air directly contacts the hot water, which cools the hot water quickly and realizes the recycling of cooling water. Finally, the water is sent back through the outlet pipe 4.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a water separator 19 is fixedly installed inside the cooling tower body 1 between the water inlet pipe 3 and the fan 2;

[0029] As described above, during operation inside the cooling tower body 1, some water is carried out as tiny droplets along with the exhaust of hot and humid air. The water separator 19 can effectively capture these droplets, recover them, and reintroduce them into the cooling tower body 1, thereby reducing water loss caused by water droplet drift, improving water resource utilization, and achieving the goal of water conservation.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, flanges 20 are fixedly installed on both the inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 4.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the structure, installation and disassembly of flange 20 also have good sealing performance and can adapt to various working conditions.

[0032] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the specific embodiments shown are only one of the embodiments of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
