The circulating water of the cooling tower enters the drainage tank 1 through the inlet 2. The water flow first passes through the filter plate 6, and impurities are intercepted on the surface of the filter plate 6 to prevent them from entering the drainage pipe body 5 and causing blockage. When a lot of impurities accumulate on the surface of the filter plate 6, the motor 9 starts, driving the first threaded rod 10 to rotate, causing the moving plate 11 to move along the threaded rod, pushing the filter plate 6 to slide within the fixed frame 3, scraping the blockage off to the collection frame 7, and completing the automatic cleaning.
