Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of indirect cooling tower technology, specifically to an antifreeze and anti-leakage device for the gaps in indirect cooling towers. Background Technology

[0002] Indirect air-cooled towers, also known as air-cooled towers, are primarily used in industries such as power generation and chemical processing to cool process circulating water. Their core function is to reduce water temperature and achieve system cooling through indirect heat exchange between air and circulating water (e.g., via radiators or finned tubes). Compared to traditional water-cooled towers, indirect air-cooled towers significantly reduce water consumption, making them suitable for water-scarce regions.

[0003] When installing and using indirect cooling towers, gaps are left between the tower bodies. In winter, wind can blow through these gaps, causing the indirect cooling tower to freeze. These gaps also lead to air leakage, which is detrimental to the installation and use of indirect cooling towers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for preventing freezing and air leakage in the gaps of indirect cooling towers, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. When installing and using current indirect cooling towers, the gaps between the tower bodies allow wind to blow through in winter, causing the indirect cooling towers to freeze. The gaps also lead to air leakage, which is not conducive to the installation and use of indirect cooling towers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A freeze-proof and air-leakage prevention device for the gaps of an indirect cooling tower includes a supporting side plate. Movable baffles are symmetrically inserted into both ends of the supporting side plate. A sealing strip is fixedly installed at one end of each movable baffle. The top and bottom ends of the supporting side plate and the movable baffles are symmetrically provided with snap-fit ​​grooves. A rotating disk is provided on one side of one of the supporting side plates. An isolation rubber plate is vertically installed on the top surface of the supporting side plate. A snap-fit ​​connecting strip is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the isolation rubber plate. Horizontal horizontal grooves are symmetrically opened at both ends of the supporting side plate. Inner positioning holes are evenly provided on the inner sidewalls of the inner positioning holes. A top connector is fixedly snapped into the inner side of each inner positioning hole. The spring has a mounting screw hole on one side of the supporting side plate. The inner top and bottom surfaces of the end horizontal groove are symmetrically provided with limit grooves. The top and bottom surfaces of the movable baffle are symmetrically fixed with limit blocks. Auxiliary side holes are evenly provided at one end of the movable baffle. A matching sleeve rod is horizontally connected to one side of the supporting side plate. One end of the matching sleeve rod is fixedly connected to a mounting screw tube. An adjusting screw rod is horizontally inserted into the inner side of the matching sleeve rod. An extension rod is horizontally inserted into one end of the matching sleeve rod. An inner matching groove is horizontally provided on the inner side of the extension rod. One end of the extension rod has an end screw hole.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: there are two supporting side plates, which are arranged in parallel with each other; there are four movable baffles, which are symmetrically inserted into each other in pairs on the inner side of the end horizontal groove; and the sealing strip is fixedly installed at the end of the movable baffle away from the supporting side plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the snap-fit ​​channel is horizontally opened at the center line of the top and bottom of the supporting side plate and the movable baffle. The center of the side of the rotating disc is fixedly sleeved at the extension end of the adjusting screw. The specifications and dimensions of the isolation rubber plates are not uniform, and the isolation rubber plates are all connected by snap-fit ​​strips at the side of the snap-fit ​​channel.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the inner positioning holes are arranged vertically in a straight line at equal intervals at the inner end centerline of the end horizontal groove, the other end of the top spring is fixedly snapped into the inner side of the auxiliary side hole, the mounting screw hole is opened at the center of the side of the support side plate, and one mounting screw hole penetrates the side wall of the support side plate in an open shape.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the limiting blocks are symmetrically fixed at one end of the top and bottom surfaces of the movable baffle, and one end of the limiting blocks is correspondingly engaged with the inner side of the limiting groove. The arrangement of the auxiliary side holes is consistent with that of the inner positioning holes. One end of the cooperating sleeve is connected to the opening end of the mounting screw hole. The mounting screw tubes are all fixed at the center of one end of the cooperating sleeve and the extension rod, and one end of the mounting screw tube is threadedly connected to the inner side of the mounting screw hole.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: one end of the adjusting screw is extended and threadedly connected to the inner side of the end screw hole, the extended insert and the mating sleeve are arranged in a telescopic rod structure, and the end screw hole and the inner mating groove are kept in communication with each other.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention vertically positions two supporting side plates between the gaps in the cooling tower. Under the pressure of a top spring, the movable baffles on both sides extend outwards, causing the limiting block to move horizontally along the limiting groove. This presses the side of the sealing strip at one end against the side of the tower body, creating a fixed compression. Rotating the rotating disc on the side causes the adjusting screw to rotate. The threaded engagement between the adjusting screw and the end screw hole allows the extension rod to extend and retract at one end of the sleeve rod, enabling the two supporting side plates, fixed at one end, to be adjusted to a specified position. The spacing is designed to create a clamping effect between the gaps. The top and bottom insulating rubber plates are secured within the snap-fit ​​groove via a connecting strip at one end. This allows the insulating rubber plates to be vertically positioned between the tower bodies, creating a sealed isolation effect. This provides insulation and prevents air leakage between the tower bodies. The modular structure allows for compact disassembly, transport, and storage. The adjustable compression isolation structure effectively protects the gaps, providing frost protection and preventing air leakage. Attached Figure Description
