The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0022] This utility model discloses a specific embodiment of a cooling tower packing installation fixture. Please see [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The fixture includes a top frame 2 and a bottom frame 1 located below the top frame 2. Two first columns 3 and multiple second columns 4 are provided between the top frame 2 and the bottom frame 1. The first columns 3 and the second columns 4 are installed vertically relative to the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2.
[0023] As an improvement, two first columns 3 are arranged horizontally at intervals and located on the left and right sides of the bottom frame 1, respectively. Multiple second columns 4 are arranged circumferentially at intervals along the bottom frame 1. The top ends of each first column 3 and each second column 4 are fixed to the top frame 2, and the bottom ends of each first column 3 and each second column 4 are fixed to the bottom frame 1. Preferably, the first columns 3 are detachably fixed to the bottom frame 1, the second columns 3 to the bottom frame 1, and the top frame 2 using bolts. This fixing method facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the tooling and allows for the installation of various sizes of filler material by replacing different specifications of frames or columns.
[0024] In this embodiment, each of the first columns 3 has multiple mounting holes 31 spaced along its length for inserting the external support 72. The first column 3 is the main component for limiting the external support 72; therefore, the cross-sectional area of the first column 3 is larger than that of the second column 4, which ensures the working stability of the tooling and a longer service life. Preferably, there are two first columns 3, while the number of second columns 4 can be selectively set according to actual needs, such as two, four, six, or seven.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom frame 1 includes paired bottom support beams 11 spaced apart in the horizontal direction, with two bottom crossbeams 12 positioned between the two bottom support beams 11. One end of each bottom crossbeam 12 is fixedly connected to one of the bottom support beams 11, and the other end of each bottom crossbeam 12 is fixedly connected to the other bottom support beam 11. The bottom surface of the bottom crossbeam 12 may be flush with the bottom surface of the bottom support beam 11 or staggered in the height direction, depending on the specific working conditions. Similarly, the top frame 2 includes paired top support beams 21 spaced apart in the horizontal direction, with two top crossbeams 22 positioned between the two top support beams 21. One end of each top crossbeam 22 is fixedly connected to one of the top support beams 21, and the other end of each top crossbeam 22 is fixedly connected to the other top support beam 21. It should be noted that the number of bottom crossbeams 12 and the number of top crossbeams 22 can be selectively set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2 are arranged in a rectangular shape. In other embodiments, the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2 can be in other shapes such as triangles or polygons, as long as they can provide sufficient support.
[0026] To prevent tipping during packing assembly, the bottom frame 1 is also provided with two side supports 13. In other embodiments, the number of side supports 13 can be selectively set according to actual needs. Specifically, during packing assembly, the weight of the packing will be concentrated on the side of the tooling. The side supports 13 are perpendicular to the bottom support beam 11 of the bottom frame 1 (close to the bottom support beam 11 where the packing is installed), so that the side supports 13 can play a role in preventing tipping. In this embodiment, each side support 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the bottom support beam 11, and each side support 13 extends outward toward the side of the bottom support beam 11. In other embodiments, the bottom support beam 11 can also be fixedly installed perpendicular to the side of the bottom support beam 11, as long as an effective support can be formed on the side of the bottom frame 1.
[0027] To further improve the overall structural strength of the tooling, the tooling is also equipped with multiple diagonal braces 5. One end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixed to the top frame 2, and the other end can be fixed to the first column 3 or the second column 4; or, one end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixed to the bottom frame 1, and the other end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixed to the first column 3 or the second column 4; or, one end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixed to the top frame 2, and the other end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixed to the bottom frame 1. The number and position of the diagonal braces 5 can be selectively set according to actual needs, such as two, four, five, etc. Adjacent diagonal braces 5 can be parallel to each other, mirror images of each other, or centrally symmetrical to each other.
[0028] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the first column 3, the diagonal brace 5, the second column 4, the top support beam 21, the top crossbeam 22, the bottom support beam 11, and the bottom crossbeam 12 are all U-shaped. The profiles of this structure are easy to obtain and manufacture, which can reduce the production cost and difficulty of tooling, and also have a long service life, making maintenance and repair more convenient and faster.
[0029] To facilitate the installation of the filler, the fixture also includes an auxiliary bracket 8 located outside the bottom frame 1 to support the external support member 72. The auxiliary bracket 8 includes a base 81 and a support rod 82 vertically fixedly mounted on the base 81. Multiple support members 83 are fixedly mounted on the support rod 82, spaced apart along its length. The height of each support member 83 is adjustable to suit different applications.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the packing installation fixture in this embodiment forms a stable support fixture by setting up a top frame 2, a bottom frame 1, a first column 3 and a second column 4. This fixture can significantly reduce the movement resistance of the external packing support pipe, solve the problem of inconvenient installation in the past, simplify the packing installation process, improve installation efficiency, and is suitable for the rapid installation of various cooling tower packings.
[0031] This utility model discloses a specific embodiment of a packing installation method, including the following steps: Step a, preparing the packing installation fixture 6, please see...
