Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of support structures, and in particular to a cooling tower support structure. Background Technology
[0002] A cooling tower is a widely used cooling device in industrial and construction fields. Its main function is to cool circulating water through evaporation. The circulating water is introduced into the cooling tower and then enters the condenser. Cooling water is sprayed onto the surface of the condenser, and heat exchange is enhanced by utilizing the principle of heat absorption during water evaporation. During the heat exchange process, the temperature of the circulating water gradually decreases. Finally, the circulating water flows out from the output end of the cooling tower, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling.
[0003] The bottom of the cooling tower is fixed with a bracket to support the entire cooling tower. The existing bracket consists of a rectangular frame fixed to the bottom of the cooling tower, and then multiple support columns fixed to the bottom of the rectangular frame. However, this type of bracket has poor stability and is prone to damage or shaking. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To improve the structural stability of cooling tower supports, this application provides a cooling tower support structure.
[0005] This application provides a cooling tower support structure, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A cooling tower support structure includes a support frame, which comprises a crossbeam and a longitudinal beam. The longitudinal beam is fixed to the bottom surface of the cooling tower, and its long side is parallel to the long side of the cooling tower. A groove is formed on the inner side of the longitudinal beam. The long side of the crossbeam is parallel to the wide side of the cooling tower. One end of the crossbeam is inserted into the groove and fixed to the side wall of the longitudinal beam. Corner seats are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom of the support frame. The top of the corner seat passes through the bottom surface of the longitudinal beam, and the top surface of the corner seat abuts against the inner top wall of the longitudinal beam. One side of the corner seat abuts against the inner side wall of the longitudinal beam. A collection box is fixed between the bottom outer walls of the four corner seats. Support columns are respectively provided at the bottom of the two long sides of the support frame. The support columns are fixed to the inner top surface of the collection box. The support columns at both ends correspond to each other, and a diagonal brace is fixed between the two support columns.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight of the cooling tower is transferred to the longitudinal beams through the crossbeams. The longitudinal beams then transfer the load to the corner brackets, which in turn transfer the force to the bottom of the collection box. Under the action of the support columns, the pressure on the corner brackets can be shared, and the load on the support frame can be evenly distributed between the corner brackets and the support columns. This reduces the possibility of damage caused by excessive force on the corner brackets, and also distributes the load more evenly at the bottom of the collection box. Under the action of the diagonal braces, a triangular structure is formed between the diagonal braces and the support columns. Triangles have stability, which can improve the structural stability of the support columns, allowing the two support columns to support each other. When one support column is subjected to a horizontal force, the diagonal braces transfer the force to the other support column, and the other support column provides a reaction force, thereby reducing the possibility of the support columns tilting or swaying due to force.
[0008] When cooling the circulating water in the condenser in the cooling tower, cooling water is sprayed onto the surface of the condenser. After the sprayed water flows over the outer wall of the condenser, it flows down from the bottom of the outer wall and then into the collection tank, where the water is recycled.
[0009] Preferably, a recovery pipe is inserted into the bottom of the side wall of the collection box, and the end of the recovery pipe away from the collection box is assembled with the input end of the cooling tower.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the water in the collection tank flows into the cooling tower through the recovery pipe and sprays the condenser surface again, thereby reusing the water and reducing the waste of water resources.
[0011] Preferably, the crossbeam includes a side plate and an edge plate. The long side of the side plate is parallel to the wide side of the cooling tower, and the wide side of the side plate is parallel to the wide side of the groove. There are two edge plates, which are respectively fixed to the top and bottom surfaces of the side plate. The outer wall of the edge plate abuts against the inner wall of the longitudinal beam.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area with the longitudinal beam can be increased under the action of the side plate, thereby improving the connection stability between the crossbeam and the longitudinal beam. Furthermore, the contact part between the crossbeam and the longitudinal beam has four right angles, so that the force transmitted vertically from the crossbeam to the longitudinal beam can be better distributed on the side wall of the longitudinal beam, reducing the situation where the force transmitted from the crossbeam to the longitudinal beam is concentrated and causes damage to the longitudinal beam.
[0013] Preferably, the crossbeam further includes a base plate, which is fixed to the side plate near the edge plate. One side of the base plate abuts against the inner wall of the longitudinal beam, and the base plate is fixed to the longitudinal beam.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area between the base plate and the longitudinal beam can be further increased, the connection stability between the crossbeam and the longitudinal beam can be improved, and the force transmitted from the crossbeam to the longitudinal beam can be evenly distributed.
[0015] Preferably, the number of diagonal braces between the two opposing support columns is two, and the two diagonal braces are arranged in a cross manner.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural stability between the two support columns can be further improved under the action of the two diagonal braces.
[0017] Preferably, the corner bracket is a right-angle bracket, with one side of the corner bracket abutting against the inner wall of the longitudinal beam, and the adjacent side of the corner bracket abutting against the inner wall of the transverse beam.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, one side of the corner bracket abuts against the inner wall of the longitudinal beam, and the adjacent side of the corner bracket abuts against the inner wall of the cross beam, thereby increasing the contact area between the corner bracket and the longitudinal beam, and the contact area between the corner bracket and the cross beam, and improving the connection stability between the corner bracket and the support frame.
[0019] Preferably, a gasket is fixed to the bottom surface of the corner bracket, and the bottom surface of the gasket abuts against the inner top surface of the collection box.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area between the gasket and the collection box can be increased under the action of the gasket, thereby dispersing the force on the corner bracket to the bottom of the collection box through the gasket, reducing the situation where the force inside the collection box is concentrated and causes damage.
[0021] Preferably, an abutment plate is fixed to the inner side of the bottom of the support column, and the bottom surface of the abutment plate abuts against the inner top surface of the collection box.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area with the collection box can be increased under the action of the abutment plate. The abutment plate transfers the load of the support column to the bottom of the collection box, thereby increasing the stress area at the bottom of the collection box and reducing the stress concentration at the bottom of the collection box.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. The weight of the cooling tower is transferred to the longitudinal beams through the crossbeams. The longitudinal beams then transfer the load to the corner brackets, which in turn transfer the force to the bottom of the collection box. Under the action of the support columns, the pressure on the corner brackets can be shared, and the load on the support frame can be evenly distributed between the corner brackets and the support columns. This reduces the possibility of damage caused by excessive force on the corner brackets, and also distributes the load more evenly at the bottom of the collection box. Under the action of the diagonal braces, a triangular structure is formed between the diagonal braces and the support columns. Triangles have stability, which can improve the structural stability of the support columns, allowing the two support columns to support each other. When one support column is subjected to a horizontal force, the diagonal brace transfers the force to the other support column, and the other support column provides a reaction force, thereby reducing the possibility of the support column tilting or swaying due to the force.
[0025] 2. When cooling the circulating water in the condenser in the cooling tower, cooling water is sprayed onto the surface of the condenser. After the sprayed water reaches the outer wall of the condenser, it flows down from the bottom of the outer wall and then into the collection tank. The collection tank recovers the water and the water in the collection tank flows back into the cooling tower through the recovery pipe to spray the surface of the condenser again, thus reusing the water and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0031] This application discloses a cooling tower support structure.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A cooling tower support structure includes a support frame 1, which includes a crossbeam 11 and a longitudinal beam 12. The longitudinal beam 12 is fixed to the bottom surface of the cooling tower, and the long side of the longitudinal beam 12 is parallel to the long side of the cooling tower. In this embodiment, there are two longitudinal beams 12, which are fixed to both ends of the bottom surface of the cooling tower. The sidewall of the longitudinal beam 12 is provided with a groove 121, which extends parallel to the long side of the longitudinal beam 12. The grooves 121 of the two longitudinal beams 12 are arranged opposite to each other. The long side of the crossbeam 11 is parallel to the wide side of the cooling tower. The crossbeam 11 is arranged between the two longitudinal beams 12, and both ends of the crossbeam 11 are respectively inserted into the grooves 121 that are close to it. There are multiple crossbeams 11, which are distributed along the long side of the cooling tower.
[0033] The crossbeam 11 includes a side plate 111, an edge plate 112, and a bottom plate 113. The long side of the side plate 111 is parallel to the wide side of the cooling tower, and the wide side of the side plate 111 is parallel to the wide side of the groove 121. There are two edge plates 112, which are respectively fixed to the top and bottom surfaces of the side plate 111. The two edge plates 112 are symmetrically arranged. The bottom edge plate 112 is an "L"-shaped plate, and its long side is parallel to the long side of the side plate 111. The outer walls of the two edge plates 112 abut against the inner walls of the adjacent longitudinal beams 12. Under the action of the edge plates 112, the contact area with the longitudinal beams 12 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the crossbeam 11 and the longitudinal beams 12, and making the contact portion between the crossbeam 11 and the longitudinal beams 12 have four... The right angle allows the force transmitted vertically from the crossbeam 11 to the longitudinal beam 12 to be better distributed on the side wall of the longitudinal beam 12, reducing the possibility of the force being concentrated and causing damage to the longitudinal beam 12. There are two base plates 113, which are fixed to the two ends of the side plate 111 near the side plate 112 respectively. The base plates 113 are fixed between the two side plates 112, and one side of the base plate 113 abuts against the inner side wall of the longitudinal beam 12. Under the action of the base plate 113, the contact area between the base plate 111 and the longitudinal beam 12 can be further increased, improving the connection stability between the crossbeam 11 and the longitudinal beam 12. At the same time, the force transmitted from the crossbeam 11 to the longitudinal beam 12 is evenly distributed. The base plate 113 is fixed to the side wall of the longitudinal beam 12 by bolts.
[0034] Angle seats 2 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the cooling tower. The corner seats 2 are right-angled and vertically installed. The top of the corner seats 2 passes through the longitudinal beams 12 that are close to them. The top surface of the corner seats 2 abuts against the inner top wall of the longitudinal beams 12. One side of the corner seats 2 abuts against the inner side wall of the longitudinal beams 12. The adjacent side of the corner seats 2 abuts against the inner side wall of the crossbeams 11, thereby increasing the contact area between the corner seats 2 and the longitudinal beams 12 and the contact area between the corner seats 2 and the crossbeams 11, and improving the connection stability between the corner seats 2 and the support frame 1. The side wall of the corner seats 2 is fixed to the side wall of the longitudinal beams 12 by bolts.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A collection box 3 is fixed between the bottom outer walls of the four corner seats 2. The four corner seats 2 are distributed at the four corners of the collection box 3. The outer wall of the corner seat 2 abuts against the inner wall of the collection box 3. The side wall of the corner seat 2 is fixed to the side wall of the collection box 3 by bolts. A gasket 21 is fixed to the bottom surface of each of the four corner seats 2. The gasket 21 is a rectangular piece. The bottom surface of the gasket 21 abuts against the inner top surface of the collection box 3. The corner seats 2 support the support frame 1. The weight of the cooling tower is transferred to the longitudinal beam 12 through the cross beam 11. The longitudinal beam 12 transfers the load to the corner seats 2. Then, the corner seats 2 transfer the force to the bottom of the collection box 3. Under the action of the gasket 21, the contact area between the corner seats 2 and the collection box 3 can be increased, thereby dispersing the force on the corner seats 2 to the bottom of the collection box 3 through the gasket 21, reducing the possibility of damage caused by the concentrated force inside the collection box 3.
[0036] Support columns 4 are respectively installed at the bottom of the two longitudinal beams 12. The top of the support column 4 passes through the bottom of the longitudinal beam 12, and the top surface of the support column 4 abuts against the inner wall of the longitudinal beam 12. The side wall of the support column 4 is fixed to the side wall of the longitudinal beam 12 by bolts. The outer wall of the support column 4 abuts against the inner wall of the collection box 3. The bottom side wall of the support column 4 is fixed to the side wall of the collection box 3 by bolts. An abutment plate 41 is fixed to the inner side of the bottom of the support column 4. The bottom surface of the abutment plate 41 abuts against the inner top surface of the collection box 3. Under the action of the support column 4, the pressure of the corner seat 2 can be shared, and the pressure on the support frame 1 can be reduced. The load is evenly distributed to the corner bracket 2 and the support column 4, thereby reducing the possibility of damage caused by excessive force on the corner bracket 2. At the same time, the load is more dispersed at the bottom of the collection box 3. Under the action of the abutment plate 41, the contact area with the collection box 3 can be increased. The abutment plate 41 transfers the load of the support column 4 to the bottom of the collection box 3, thereby increasing the stress area at the bottom of the collection box 3 and reducing the stress concentration at the bottom of the collection box 3. There are multiple support columns 4, which are distributed along the long side of the longitudinal beam 12, with the support columns 4 at both ends corresponding to each other.
[0037] A mounting groove 42 is provided on the inner side of the support column 4. The extension direction of the mounting groove 42 is parallel to the long side of the support column 4. Diagonal braces 5 are fixed between two opposing support columns 4. The structure of the diagonal braces 5 is consistent with the structure of the crossbeam 11, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The diagonal braces 5 are inclined between the two support columns 4. The two ends of the diagonal braces 5 are respectively inserted into the mounting groove 42 close to them. The outer wall of the diagonal braces 5 abuts against the inner wall of the support column 4. The side wall of the diagonal braces 5 is fixed to the side wall of the support column 4 by bolts. There are two diagonal braces 5 between the two opposing support columns 4. The two diagonal braces 5 are arranged crosswise. The intersection of the two diagonal braces 5 is close together. The two diagonal braces 5 are fixed together by bolts, thereby improving the connection stability between the two diagonal braces 5.
[0038] Reference Figure 1and Figure 2 Under the action of the diagonal brace 5, a triangular structure is formed between the diagonal brace 5 and the support column 4. The triangle has stability, which can improve the structural stability of the support column 4 and make the two support columns 4 support each other. When one support column 4 is subjected to a horizontal force, the diagonal brace 5 transmits the force to the other support column 4, and the other support column 4 provides a reaction force, thereby reducing the possibility of the support column 4 tilting or swaying due to the force.
[0039] A flow hole is provided through the bottom of the side wall of the collection box 3. A recovery pipe 6 is provided on the side wall of the collection box 3. One end of the recovery pipe 6 is inserted into the flow hole, and the other end of the recovery pipe 6 is connected to the input end of the cooling tower. When the circulating water in the condenser is cooled in the cooling tower, it is cooled by spraying cooling water onto the surface of the condenser. After the sprayed water flows over the outer wall of the condenser, it flows down from the bottom of the outer wall of the condenser and then flows into the collection box 3. The collection box 3 recovers the water flow and then flows into the cooling tower through the recovery pipe 6 to spray the surface of the condenser again, thereby reusing the water flow and reducing the waste of water resources.
[0040] A guide plate 7 is fixed at the bottom of the support frame 1. The guide plate 7 is distributed around the support frame 1. The guide plate 7 is inclined and tilted inward from top to bottom. This allows the water flowing down from the cooling tower to fall onto the top surface of the guide plate 7. Under the action of the guide plate 7, the water flow is guided and falls into the inner part of the collection box 3. This reduces the amount of water flowing outside the collection box 3 when the water drips from the top of the cooling tower.
[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application. These embodiments are merely explanations of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
