[0002] The existing cooling unit ejection device is cumbersome to use. It usually involves manually releasing the screws to remove the positioning, and then pushing by hand or using straps tied to the cooling unit to pull it out of the cooling tower. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive. When releasing the screws, the disassembly personnel need to crouch in a corner or stretch their arms to remove the screws. When reassembling, the disassembly personnel usually do not install the screws that are difficult to install. The cooling unit is prone to damage when working in an environment without a fixed position. At the same time, using straps to tie the cooling unit can easily cause the cooling unit to deform during cooling, resulting in irreversible damage. Summary of the Invention

[0029] This invention proposes a movable evaporative cooling module for use in cooling towers, which is used in the improvement of cooling tower processes. This invention does not limit the type of cooling tower, but the structure of the movable and positioning parts is particularly suitable for movable evaporative cooling modules in cooling towers.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 5 In general, the evaporative cooling module for easy movement in a cooling tower proposed in this utility model mainly includes: a tower box 1, a push-out port 14 on one side of the tower box 1, a cooling assembly 2 placed inside the tower box 1, the cooling assembly 2 being able to be pushed out from the push-out port 14, a moving part at the bottom of the cooling assembly 2, the moving part including a connecting plate 1 21, a connecting plate 22, and a connecting plate 3 23, rollers 202 rotatably connected below the connecting plate 1 21, the connecting plate 22, and the connecting plate 3 23, two pushing cylinders 24 fixed on the tower box 1, the output end of one pushing cylinder 24 connected to the connecting plate 1 21, and the output end of the other pushing cylinder 24 connected to the connecting plate 3 23, a positioning part below the connecting plate 2 22, the positioning part including a brake pad 312, the brake pad 312 being able to squeeze the connecting plate 2 22. The moving part is clamped and fixed by the brake pads 312 on both sides of the positioning part, realizing mechanical and electrical clamping, eliminating the trouble of manual fixing, which is convenient and quick. The push cylinder 24 is electrically controlled to push the cooling group 2, preventing the laborious and time-consuming manual pulling of the cooling group 2, and also preventing damage and breakage caused by manual pulling of the cooling group 2. The roller 202 reduces the friction between the moving part and the tower box 1, and the use of a small-load push cylinder 24 reduces production costs.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 4 In this embodiment, connecting plate 1 21, connecting plate 22, and connecting plate 3 23 each include two

[0032] Clamping plates 201 are located at the bottom of connecting plates 21, 22, and 33, with rollers 202 rotatably connected between the clamping plates 201. The connecting plates 21, 22, and 33 evenly support the cooling assembly 2, distributing its weight. The rotatable rollers 202 between the clamping plates 201 convert sliding friction into rolling friction. The method of installing the rollers 202 between the clamping plates 201 is existing technology. The cooling assembly 2 includes a bonding plate 25 at its bottom, with through-hole fixing holes 251. These holes allow connection to the connecting plates 21, 22, and 33. Screws are inserted through the fixing holes 251 to secure the bonding plate 25 to the connecting plates 21, 22, or 33, ensuring a stable connection. Limiting plates 34 are respectively provided on the lower side of the inner cavity of tower box 1, corresponding to the positions of connecting plate 1 21, connecting plate 22, and connecting plate 3 23. The top of the limiting plate 34 is provided with a limiting groove 341, and the roller 202 can roll within the limiting groove 341. The limiting groove 341 in the limiting plate 34 prevents the roller 202 from running off-center and causing the cooling unit 2 to fall and be damaged.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 — Figure 5In this embodiment, a pushing cylinder 24 is installed on the side of the limiting plate 34 below the connecting plate 3 23 facing the connecting plate 2 22, and a baffle 231 is welded to the side of the connecting plate 3 23 facing the connecting plate 2 22; a pushing cylinder 24 is installed on the side of the limiting plate 34 below the connecting plate 1 21 facing the connecting plate 2 22, and a baffle 211 is welded to the side of the connecting plate 1 21 facing the connecting plate 2 22. The two pushing cylinders 24 push the cooling assembly 2 respectively, ensuring that the cooling assembly 2 is subjected to uniform force and preventing the cooling assembly 2 from shifting or deviating laterally. The bottom of the tower box 1 is provided with an exhaust hole 1 between connecting plate 1 21 and connecting plate 22, and the bottom of the tower box 1 is provided with an exhaust hole 2 between connecting plate 22 and connecting plate 3 23. A mounting plate is welded to the bottom of the tower box 1 below connecting plate 22. Fixing plates 331 are provided on both sides of the mounting plate. A rotating screw 32 is provided between the two fixing plates 331. A partition is provided between exhaust hole 1 and exhaust hole 2. A through hole 342 is provided on the side of the partition facing connecting plate 1 21. The screw 32 can pass through the through hole 342. A motor 33 is installed on the side of one of the fixing plates 331 away from the screw 32. The screw 32 is provided with symmetrical bidirectional threads. Brake plates 31 are coupled to both sides of the screw 32. The brake plates 31 are provided with screw holes 311 corresponding to the screw 32. A heat dissipation air inlet 11 is provided on the top of the tower box 1 at the position of exhaust hole 1 and exhaust hole 2. The brake plates 31 on both sides can move in opposite directions or towards each other via a lead screw 32 with bidirectional threads, thereby releasing or braking the cooling assembly 2. A brake pad 312 is provided on the side of the brake plate 31 facing the connecting plate 22, and the motor 33 can drive the brake pad 312 to move. The brake pad 312 increases friction, resulting in a better positioning effect for the positioning part.

[0034] During operation, when moving the cooling unit 2, the rack is first positioned at the push-out port 14. Then, the relevant personnel control the motor 33 to drive the lead screw 32 to rotate through the programmable controller. The lead screw 32 causes the two brake plates 31 to move in opposite directions, thereby releasing the clamping of the connecting plate 22. At the same time, after receiving the command that the connecting plate 22 is released, the push cylinders 24 on both sides will push the baffle 1 211 and the baffle 231 respectively, thereby driving the connecting plate 1 21 and the connecting plate 3 23 to move towards the push-out port 14. The roller 202 first moves in the limiting groove 341 and is then pushed onto the rack, so that the cooling unit 2 is taken out.

[0035] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
