[0015] AsFigs. 1-2The graphite quenching tower includes a steel shell 1, a liquid collecting tank 2 is mounted on the inner bottom of the steel shell 1, a tapered gas outlet cylinder 3 is arranged on the top of the steel shell 1, a gas distribution pipe 4 is mounted above the liquid collecting tank 2, the gas inlet of the gas distribution pipe 4 is communicated with the outside pipeline through the steel shell 1, a plurality of honeycomb-shaped graphite heat exchange blocks 5 are arranged in layers above the gas distribution pipe 4, cooling pipelines 51 are inserted into the graphite heat exchange blocks 5, a spraying system 6 is arranged above the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 on the top layer, a demisting net 7 is arranged between the spraying system 6 and the gas outlet cylinder 3, the spraying system 6 includes a water pump 61, a spraying pipe 62, a water tank 63 and a water inlet pipe 64, the lower end of the water inlet pipe 64 penetrates through the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 and is inserted into the liquid collecting tank 2, the upper end of the water inlet pipe 64 is communicated with the water tank 63, the water pump 61 is communicated with the water inlet pipe 64, the water outlet of the water tank 63 is communicated with the spraying pipe 62, the lower end surface of the graphite heat exchange block 5 is a concave tapered surface, and the honeycomb holes of the adjacent two graphite heat exchange blocks 5 are arranged in a staggered manner. Specifically, in the embodiment, the steel shell 1 is made of stainless steel, which is used to form a closed space to avoid leakage of high-temperature gas and to protect and mount the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 and the spraying system 6 integrated therein. The liquid collecting tank 2 is integrated at the bottom of the steel shell 1, which is used to circulate and collect cooling water, so that the water does not need to be frequently supplemented, thereby reducing the cooling cost. The gas distribution pipe 4 is used to input the high-temperature gas to be cooled into the steel shell 1, thereby avoiding concentrated input, so that the high-temperature gas entering the steel shell 1 is more dispersed, thereby increasing the contact area with the graphite heat exchange blocks 5. The graphite heat exchange blocks 5 are arranged on the liquid collecting tank 2, and the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 are arranged in layers, which can effectively prolong the heat exchange path of the high-temperature gas and enhance the heat exchange performance. In the honeycomb-shaped graphite heat exchange blocks 5, after the high-temperature gas is input through the gas distribution pipe 5, the gas can float up through the pores of the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 and exchange heat with the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 cooled through the cooling pipelines 51, so that the high-temperature gas is cooled. When the gas flows out of the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 on the top layer, the spraying system 6 sprays water mist to exchange heat with the gas still having residual heat, the water droplets fall on the graphite heat exchange blocks 5 and finally gather in the liquid collecting tank 2. In order to realize the recycling of the water, an water inlet pipe 64 is designed to penetrate through the graphite heat exchange blocks and be inserted into the liquid collecting tank 2. When the water in the water tank 63 is insufficient, the water pump 61 is started to pump the water in the liquid collecting tank 2 back to the water tank 63, and the water is pressurized by the booster pump arranged in the water tank 63, so that the water is sprayed from the spraying pipe 62. In order to increase the spraying area, a spray head can be arranged at the pipe opening of the spraying pipe 62.We will design the traditional standard circular block graphite heat exchange block as the lower surface is concave, so that the two stacked graphite heat exchange blocks form a gas-liquid redistribution cavity, so that the high-temperature gas is mixed uniformly in the gas-liquid redistribution cavity during the floating process, and the gas floating speed is reduced, so that the gas slowly passes through the graphite heat exchange block 5, and the heat exchange effect is better. Without thickening the overall thickness of the graphite heat exchange block 5, the use cost of the graphite heat exchange block and the self weight of the cooling tower are reduced, and the transportation and installation are convenient.

[0016] As shown in Fig. 2 , two adjacent graphite heat exchange blocks 5 are also provided with a spoiler 52, and the spoiler 52 can guide the airflow and avoid direct vertical floating of the gas, reduce the flow rate of the high-temperature gas, and make the high-temperature gas fully mixed in the recessed space at the lower end of the graphite heat exchange block 5, so that the gas temperature is uniform.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 2 , the cooling pipeline 51 is arranged in the graphite heat exchange block 5 in an S-shaped horizontal manner, and is offset from the honeycomb hole of the graphite heat exchange block 5. Specifically, the S-shaped arrangement of the cooling pipeline 51 increases the length of the cooling pipeline 51 in the graphite heat exchange block 5. After the cooling pipeline 51 is connected with the external pipeline and the cooling liquid flows in the pipeline, the longer the path, the better the cooling effect of the graphite heat exchange block 5, and the heat exchange performance of the gas passing through the graphite heat exchange block 5 is improved.

[0018] Specifically, the liquid collecting tank 2 is provided with a refrigerator for refrigerating the liquid circulating in the liquid collecting tank 2. When the spray pipe 62 sprays water mist through the spray head, it exchanges heat with the gas to cool and dissipate heat, and carries away the heat carried by the gas.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 2As shown, the lower part of the spray pipe 62 is also provided with a water collector 8, which comprises corrugated plates 81, a conical bottom 82 with a middle part higher than the edge part, and an overflow pipe 83. The corrugated plates 81 are evenly and divergently arranged around the water inlet pipe 64, and the conical bottom 82 is provided with air holes 821 in the middle part. The upper end of the overflow pipe 83 is communicated with the conical bottom 82, and the lower end of the overflow pipe 83 penetrates through the graphite heat exchange block 5 and is inserted into the liquid collecting groove 2. Specifically, when the gas floats out from the uppermost graphite heat exchange block 5, it enters the water collector 8 from the air holes 821 in the middle part of the conical bottom 82. At this time, the spray system 6 is started, and the spray pipe 62 sprays water mist through the spray head. When the gas floats up along the gap between the two corrugated plates 81, it contacts the water mist. The mist liquid with a diameter greater than 200 μm is impacted on the surface of the corrugated plate 81 due to inertia and adheres to the surface of the corrugated plate. After coalescing into a film, it drops on the conical bottom 82. Because the conical bottom 82 is higher in the middle part and lower in the edge part, the water liquid gradually collects to the edge part of the conical bottom 82 and is finally returned to the liquid collecting groove 2 through the overflow pipe 83, so as to complete the circulation of the water liquid. A small part of the water liquid drops on the uppermost graphite heat exchange block 5 from the air holes 821 and drops down step by step, and is finally also returned to the liquid collecting groove 2.

[0020] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
