Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically to an energy-saving cooling tower for computer rooms. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the number of data centers and large computer rooms is constantly increasing. These devices generate a lot of heat during operation, and an effective cooling system has become the key to ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. Cooling towers are devices that use water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat from a system and release it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. Their cooling is achieved by using water to exchange heat with air flow to generate steam. The steam evaporates and carries away heat, achieving evaporative heat dissipation, convective heat transfer, and radiative heat transfer to dissipate the waste heat generated in industrial processes or refrigeration and air conditioning to lower the water temperature and ensure the normal operation of the system. The device is generally barrel-shaped, hence the name cooling tower.

[0003] The prior art discloses some utility model patents in the field of cooling tower technology. Among them, utility model patent with publication number CN212109611U discloses a high-efficiency and energy-saving cooling tower for computer rooms, including a tower body, a hydraulic pressure stabilizer, a main water supply pipe, a water distribution tray, variable flow nozzles, and a packing assembly. The hydraulic pressure stabilizer is located on both sides of the upper part of the tower body, and the water distribution tray is located at the top of the tower body. Water injection pipes are connected to both sides of the upper end of the tower body. The hydraulic pressure stabilizer includes a water storage tank, a water inlet, and a water outlet. The water inlet is installed in the water storage tank. The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The main water supply pipe and the two branch water supply pipes form a U-shaped pipe structure, achieving uniform water distribution in each cooling tower water distribution plate; 2. Adjustable height nozzles are installed on the water distribution plate, so that the water level in the water distribution plate reaches a certain height and flows downward into the packing, increasing the heat exchange area of ​​the cooling tower, reducing the frequency of cooling tower fan motor operation, and effectively reducing the overall energy consumption of the cooling tower; 3. Due to the vertical water distribution trough, a small amount of debris at the bottom of the water distribution plate will not affect the use of the water distribution plate.

[0004] However, the above method still has the following drawbacks in actual use: most of the connection points of the cooling pipe groups inside the cooling tower do not have a sealing structure, which may lead to problems such as water leakage and seepage during use. This not only affects the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower, but may also cause pollution to the surrounding environment, increase maintenance costs and operational risks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an energy-saving cooling tower for computer rooms to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an energy-saving cooling tower for a computer room, comprising a cooling tower body, wherein a cooling pipe assembly is provided inside the cooling tower body, one end of the cooling pipe assembly is connected to a cooling water inlet pipe, a wastewater outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cooling tower body, a first sealing sleeve and a second sealing sleeve are sleeved on the outer surface of the cooling water inlet pipe, an mounting plate is fixedly connected above the first sealing sleeve, an mounting structure is provided on the mounting plate, a sealing plate is fixedly connected above the second sealing sleeve, a limiting structure is provided outside the sealing plate, the limiting structure is slidably connected inside the mounting plate, the mounting structure is connected to the sealing plate, the mounting structure is snapped into the first sealing sleeve, the limiting structure includes a fixed inclined plate, a first inclined block and a second inclined block, a push plate is fixedly connected above the first inclined block, and a spring is provided on one side of the first inclined block.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, one end of the cooling water inlet pipe is provided with a flange, the cooling water inlet pipe is connected to the cooling pipe assembly through the flange, a groove is provided inside the first sealing sleeve, and the sealing plate is snapped into the first sealing sleeve.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the fixed inclined plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plate, the first inclined block is slidably connected to the mounting plate, and the second inclined block is slidably connected to the mounting plate.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the first inclined block is engaged with the fixed inclined plate, and the first inclined block is connected to the second inclined block by a spring.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the installation structure includes a concave plate, an air inlet pipe is fixedly connected inside the concave plate, a pressure gauge is fixedly connected to the top end of the air inlet pipe, and the air inlet pipe is snapped into the second sealing sleeve.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the air intake pipe is snapped into the mounting plate, and the concave plate overlaps the top of the mounting plate.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the concave plate is provided with a limiting bolt, and the concave plate is connected to the first sealing sleeve through the limiting bolt.

[0013] This utility model provides an energy-saving cooling tower for computer rooms, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) This utility model sets up a first sealing sleeve, a second sealing sleeve, a mounting plate and a limiting structure, and attaches the first sealing sleeve and the second sealing sleeve to the outer surface of the cooling water inlet pipe. When the sealing plate moves, the fixed inclined plate on the side will contact the first inclined block. When the first inclined block is affected by the thrust, it will slide in the mounting plate. When the first inclined block and the second inclined block move relative to each other, the spring will deform. When the first inclined block loses resistance, it will be reset by the spring. After being reset, the first inclined block will be engaged with the fixed inclined plate. The cooling tower enables the first sealing sleeve and the second sealing sleeve to achieve the function of quick assembly through the cooperation between the fixed inclined plate, the first inclined block and the spring. It is convenient to seal the connection between the cooling pipe group and the cooling water inlet pipe. When air leakage or water leakage occurs during use, it can be protected, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower and reducing the subsequent maintenance cost and operation risk.

[0015] (2) By setting up an installation structure, the concave plate is clamped into the installation plate through the air inlet pipe. When the concave plate and the installation plate are fully overlapped, the concave plate is then threaded to the side of the sealing plate through the limit bolt. This allows the pressure gauge to detect the air pressure inside the first and second sealing sleeves after it is fixed. When water leakage occurs, it can be detected in time and repaired in time.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, an energy-saving cooling tower for a computer room includes a cooling tower body 1, a cooling pipe assembly 2 inside the cooling tower body 1, a cooling water inlet pipe 3 connected to one end of the cooling pipe assembly 2, a sewage outlet pipe 4 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cooling tower body 1, a first sealing sleeve 5 and a second sealing sleeve 6 sleeved on the outer surface of the cooling water inlet pipe 3, an mounting plate 7 fixedly connected above the first sealing sleeve 5, an mounting structure 8 provided on the mounting plate 7, a sealing plate 10 fixedly connected above the second sealing sleeve 6, a limiting structure 9 provided outside the sealing plate 10, the limiting structure 9 slidably connected inside the mounting plate 7, the mounting structure 8 connected to the sealing plate 10, and the mounting structure 8 snapped into the first sealing sleeve 5. The limiting structure 9 includes a fixed inclined plate 901, a first inclined block 902 and a second inclined block 903, a push plate 905 fixedly connected above the first inclined block 902, and a spring 904 provided on one side of the first inclined block 902.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a flange 11 is provided at one end of the cooling water inlet pipe 3. The cooling water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the cooling pipe assembly 2 through the flange 11. A groove 12 is provided in the first sealing sleeve 5. The sealing plate 10 is snapped into the first sealing sleeve 5. The fixing inclined plate 901 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plate 10.

[0025] By setting the groove 12, when the second sealing sleeve 6 is connected with the first sealing sleeve 5, the sealing plate 10 above the second sealing sleeve 6 will slide in the groove 12, so that the groove 12 plays a certain auxiliary role in fixing the second sealing sleeve 6 and avoids the phenomenon of the second sealing sleeve 6 and the first sealing sleeve 5 shifting their positions when fixed.

[0026] The first inclined block 902 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 7, and the second inclined block 903 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 7. The first inclined block 902 is engaged with the fixed inclined plate 901, and the first inclined block 902 is connected to the second inclined block 903 through the spring 904.

[0027] By setting the push plate 905, when it is necessary to disassemble the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6, the push plate 905 can be used to apply a pushing force to the first inclined block 902. When the first inclined block 902 moves, it will disengage from the fixed inclined plate 901, and then the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 can be disassembled. This allows the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 to be replaced or repaired in sequence, ensuring the flexibility of the cooling tower.

[0028] The design of the push plate 905 and the first inclined block 902 makes the disassembly and replacement of the sealing sleeve simpler and faster. This design reduces the workload and time cost of maintenance personnel, while reducing equipment downtime caused by maintenance. Convenient maintenance not only improves the availability of the cooling tower, but also ensures its high efficiency in long-term operation.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting structure 8 includes a concave plate 801, an air inlet pipe 802 is fixedly connected inside the concave plate 801, a pressure gauge 803 is fixedly connected to the top end of the air inlet pipe 802, and the air inlet pipe 802 is snapped into the second sealing sleeve 6.

[0030] This cooling tower is equipped with an 803 pressure gauge, enabling real-time monitoring of internal pressure. This intelligent design provides accurate data support for management and maintenance, allowing operators to keep track of the cooling tower's operating status at any time. Real-time monitoring helps to detect pressure anomalies in a timely manner, prevent potential failures, and achieve preventative maintenance.

[0031] The intake pipe 802 is snapped into the mounting plate 7, and the concave plate 801 overlaps the top of the mounting plate 7. The concave plate 801 is provided with a limiting bolt 804, and the concave plate 801 is connected to the first sealing sleeve 5 through the limiting bolt 804.

[0032] By setting the limiting bolt 804, when the concave plate 801 clamps the air intake pipe 802 into the first sealing sleeve 5, the concave plate 801 will be connected to the sealing plate 10 through the limiting bolt 804, thereby reinforcing and locking the second sealing sleeve 6 and preventing the second sealing sleeve 6 and the first sealing sleeve 5 from falling off due to external force.

[0033] The use of limit bolts 804 and limit structure 8 effectively prevents the sealing sleeve from falling off and shifting position. This design enhances the overall stability and service life of the cooling tower and reduces the risk of failure caused by loose or detached components. The limit bolts 804 provide a firm fixing effect, while the limit structure 8 ensures the precise positioning of the components in the correct position. This dual protection mechanism greatly improves the cooling tower's adaptability to complex environments and its long-term operational reliability.

[0034] This utility model provides an energy-saving cooling tower for computer rooms, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0035] When the cooling tower is in use, one end of the cooling water inlet pipe 3 can be connected to one end of the cooling pipe assembly 2 via flange 11. Then, the first sealing sleeve 5 and the second sealing sleeve 6 are fitted onto the outer surface of the cooling water inlet pipe 3. The second sealing sleeve 6 will slide within the groove 12 via the upper sealing plate 10. When the sealing plate 10 moves, the side fixing inclined plate 901 will contact the first inclined block 902. When the first inclined block 902 is subjected to thrust, it will slide within the mounting plate 7, and the first inclined block 902 and the second When the inclined block 903 moves relative to the spring 904, the spring 904 will deform. When the second sealing sleeve 6 and the first sealing sleeve 5 are fully fitted, the first inclined block 902 will be reset by the spring 904 when it loses resistance. After being reset, the first inclined block 902 will be engaged with the fixed inclined plate 901. Then the concave plate 801 will be engaged with the mounting plate 7 through the air inlet pipe 802. When the concave plate 801 is fully engaged with the mounting plate 7, the concave plate 801 will be threaded to the side of the sealing plate 10 through the limit bolt 804.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
