Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower cleaning technology, and in particular to a water collection tray device that can automatically clean and sterilize. Background Technology

[0002] The cooling tower water collection tray (also known as a water trough or sump) is a crucial component of the cooling tower system. Its primary function is to collect the cooling water discharged from the cooling tower and guide it back into the circulation system. The design and performance of the water collection tray directly impact the cooling tower's operating efficiency and the system's stability. Because the circulating water is in direct contact with the air, it absorbs dust from the air, easily leading to scale buildup and bacterial growth in the collection tray, requiring regular cleaning and drainage. Currently, the common methods involve periodic manual cleaning and chemical dosing, which are inefficient, difficult to maintain, prone to uneven chemical dosing, and susceptible to secondary leaks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a water collection tray with automatic cleaning and sterilization capabilities. This tray can automatically clean and sterilize periodically, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and chemical dosing. It solves the problems of low efficiency, secondary leakage, and uneven chemical dosing associated with manual labor. This improves work efficiency and effectively maintains the operating efficiency and stability of the cooling tower system.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic cleaning and sterilizing water collection tray device includes a water collection tray, an automatic water collection tray cleaning device, a valve, a cleaning ring pipe, and a drain outlet; the automatic water collection tray cleaning device is located at the midpoint of the top of the left and right sides of the water collection tray and is connected to a water pipe; the valve is connected to the water pipe interface of the automatic water collection tray cleaning device; the cleaning ring pipe is arranged in the middle part of the inner wall of the water collection tray, and high-pressure nozzles and branch pipes are evenly arranged on the cleaning ring pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, the valve is a three-way valve, with one port being a straight-through port, one port connected to a high-pressure flushing device, and the other port connected to a water treatment dosing device.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning ring pipes form two rectangles on each side within the water collection pan.

[0008] Furthermore, the branch pipe extends to the central axis of the rectangle formed by the cleaning ring pipe and the deep water trough of the water collection tray, and the end of the branch pipe is connected to the high-pressure nozzle.

[0009] Furthermore, the drain outlet is located at the bottom of the water collection tray to discharge the washed dirt and silt from the water collection tray.

[0010] Furthermore, a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water collection basin, which is located on one side of the sewage outlet.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, one or more embodiments of this utility model may have the following advantages:

[0012] Symmetrically arranged cleaning ring pipes achieve hydraulic balance in the automatic cleaning system, ensuring uniform water flow to each nozzle and greatly improving the cleaning effect.

[0013] By properly controlling the spacing of the high-pressure nozzles, clean water can reach every corner of the water collection tray, eliminating any blind spots in cleaning.

[0014] It eliminates the need for manual cleaning, improves the cleaning efficiency of the water collection tray, and avoids leaks caused by improper manual cleaning operations.

[0015] It eliminates the need for manual chemical addition and avoids uneven chemical addition, which can cause severe corrosion in parts of the water collection tray. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a water collection tray 5, an automatic water collection tray cleaning device, a valve 1, a cleaning ring pipe 2, and a drain outlet 6; the automatic water collection tray cleaning device is located at the midpoint of the top of the left and right sides of the water collection tray and is connected to a water pipe; the valve 1 is connected to the water pipe interface of the automatic water collection tray cleaning device; the cleaning ring pipe 2 is arranged in the middle part of the inner wall of the water collection tray, and high-pressure nozzles 3 and branch pipes 4 are evenly arranged on the cleaning ring pipe, wherein the cleaning ring pipe 2 is the main water supply pipe.

[0022] The valve 1 is a three-way valve, with one port being a straight-through port, one port connected to a high-pressure flushing device, and the other port connected to a water treatment dosing device. High-pressure clean water or cleaning agent enters the cleaning ring pipe arranged on the inner wall and middle part of the water collection pan through the aforementioned high-pressure flushing device and water treatment dosing device.

[0023] The cleaning ring pipe 2 forms two rectangles on the left and right sides within the water collection pan.

[0024] The branch pipe 4 extends to the central axis of the rectangle formed by the cleaning ring pipes and the deep water trough of the water collection tray. The end of the branch pipe is connected to the high-pressure nozzle 3. The high-pressure nozzle forms a fan-shaped high-speed jet of clean water, effectively cleaning the dirt and silt in the water collection tray; or the agent is sprayed into the water collection tray through the high-pressure nozzle, evenly distributed in all positions of the water collection tray, thereby preventing the growth of microorganisms and killing bacteria.

[0025] The drain outlet 6 is located at the bottom of the water collection tray and is used to discharge the washed dirt and silt from the water collection tray.

[0026] The bottom of the water collection tray is also provided with a water outlet 7, which is located on one side of the sewage outlet 6.

[0027] The above embodiments:

[0028] When the water collection tray is being flushed and drained, the three-way valve is turned on to connect the high-pressure flushing device (the high-pressure flushing equipment connected from the outside). The high-pressure water flows through the inner ring pipe and branch pipe of the water collection tray, which facilitates the high-pressure nozzles to form a fan-shaped high-speed jet of clean water, effectively cleaning the dirt and silt in the water collection tray. The dirt, silt and other debris after flushing are discharged from the water collection tray through the drain outlet at the bottom of the outlet tank.

[0029] When the water collection pan is in sterilization mode, the three-way valve is turned to connect the water treatment dosing device. The agent is sprayed evenly into various positions of the water collection pan through the inner ring pipe and branch pipe of the water collection pan using a high-pressure nozzle, thereby preventing the growth of microorganisms and sterilizing.

[0030] The above-mentioned automatic cleaning and chemical dosing of the water collection pan eliminates the need for manual cleaning and chemical dosing, and effectively avoids problems such as secondary leakage and uneven chemical dosing caused by improper manual cleaning.

[0031] Although the embodiments disclosed in this utility model are as described above, the content described is merely for the purpose of facilitating understanding of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Any person skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make any modifications and changes in the form and details of the implementation without departing from the spirit and scope disclosed in this utility model, but the patent protection scope of this utility model shall still be determined by the scope defined in the appended claims.
