Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crossflow cooling tower technology, specifically a low-noise crossflow cooling tower. Background Technology
[0002] Crossflow cooling towers employ an orthogonal design, with water flowing vertically downwards and air passing horizontally through, achieving highly efficient cooling. Made of corrosion-resistant fiberglass, their modular design offers flexibility and convenience, making them suitable for industries such as petroleum and chemical processing, and particularly well-suited for cold northern environments.
[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN214747353U provides a low-noise square crossflow cooling tower, which relates to the field of cooling tower technology. The tower includes a shell, and the two side air inlets and the top air outlet are equipped with sound-absorbing components. During air intake and exhaust, the sound-absorbing components absorb wind noise, greatly reducing the impact of noise on the surrounding residents. In addition, a buffer net is installed above the water collection tank to prevent water droplets falling from the cooling tower from causing noise in the water collection tank, further reducing the device's environmental impact. The air inlet pipes on both sides of the device are equipped with a first filter and a second filter. Before entering the cooling tower, outside air passes through the first and second filters, filtering out dust and other impurities in the air, preventing dust from contaminating the cooling tower. The first and second filters can be disassembled, cleaned, and reused after a period of use, improving the practicality of the device and reducing the company's investment costs.
[0004] Existing crossflow cooling towers achieve efficient cooling by orthogonally designing water flow and air. The water flows vertically down from the top of the tower, and when the water falls into the packing layer, it inevitably hits the inner wall of the cooling tower. The impact force of the water flow on the inner wall of the tower generates collision noise, causing noise pollution. The fan rotates to expel the hot air from the cooling tower. When the fan starts, the vibration generates a lot of noise, which can later damage the eardrums of workers.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a low-noise crossflow cooling tower to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-3 A low-noise crossflow cooling tower, comprising:
[0033] Tower body 1, with controller 9 fixedly connected to the top of tower body 1, fan blade 10 rotatably connected to the upper end of controller 9, and outer casing 11 fixedly installed on the outer end of fan blade 10:
[0034] The soundproof cover 12 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the outer shell 11. A fixing plate 13 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the soundproof cover 12, and a buffer spring 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing plate 13.
[0035] The outer casing 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting port 4. Filter cotton is fixedly installed inside the soundproof cover 12, and the buffer spring 14 is fixedly connected inside the placement groove 5.
[0036] In this embodiment, the controller 9 and the fan blade 10 are used as a fan. The controller 9 adjusts the speed of the DC motor through an electrical signal. The controller 9 is model KG316TR. It drives the fan blade 10 to rotate to efficiently exhaust the hot air in the tower and achieve dynamic heat dissipation performance optimization. The outer shell 11 covers the outer end of the fan blade 10, which not only provides physical protection but also facilitates disassembly and maintenance, and avoids abnormal noise caused by friction between the fan blade 10 and the tower body 1. The combination of the fixing plate 13 and the buffer spring 14 effectively absorbs the vibration energy during the start-up and operation of the fan and reduces the mechanical vibration transmitted to the tower body 1 structure.
[0037] The reinforcing plate 19 is fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting plate 15, and the upper end of the reinforcing plate 19 is fixedly provided with a hole 20, and the inner side of the reinforcing plate 19 is fixedly connected with a spiral plate 21.
[0038] Screw holes are evenly distributed on the upper end of the mounting plate 15. The number of grooves 16 is the same as that of the buffer plate 17. The screw holes are symmetrically installed on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 15 with the mounting plate 15 as the center base.
[0039] The mounting plate 15 and the reinforcing plate 19 form a right angle shape on one side. The reinforcing plate 19 is symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 15 with the mounting plate 15 as the central base. The buffer plate 17 is inclined downward in an increasing manner.
[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 15 is fixed to the tower body 1 with screws. The groove 16 and the buffer plate 17 adopt a plug-in design, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance and avoids additional vibration and noise caused by structural loosening. The U-shaped groove 16 (cross-section) is interlocked with the buffer plate 17 to form a stepped bearing surface, which disperses the impact force of rainwater step by step and effectively reduces the noise of water flow impacting the inner wall. The downward increasing layer design extends the water flow path and reduces the direct impact energy. It works with the spiral plate 21 to reduce dynamic noise. The upper end of the buffer plate 17 is covered with sound-absorbing cotton 18 to absorb the sound wave energy generated by water flow collision and further suppress the propagation of high-frequency noise. The reinforcing plate 19 is connected to the mounting plate 15 on both sides through the hole 20 to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the spiral plate 21 and prevent structural deformation caused by water flow impact.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] Please see Figure 4 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1:
[0043] Water collection tank 2 is fixedly installed inside tower body 1;
[0044] Sound insulation panel 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of tower body 1;
[0045] Installation port 4 is fixedly opened at the top of tower body 1, and placement slots 5 are fixedly opened on both sides of installation port 4.
[0046] The conveying pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the tower body 1, and the rear end of the conveying pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the spray pipe 7. The lower end of the spray pipe 7 is fixedly installed with a packing plate 8.
[0047] The installation port 4 is symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the tower body 1 with the tower body 1 as the center base. A water-collecting film is installed between the installation port 4 and the spray pipe 7. The placement trough 5 is symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the installation port 4 with the installation port 4 as the center base.
[0048] In this embodiment, the water collection tank 2 receives and stores the water flowing down into the tower. The water is then pumped to the spray system for recycling, reducing water consumption. The delivery pipe 6 and the spray pipe 7 are connected by a water pump to achieve vertical water transport from the water collection tank 2 to the top of the tower. The spray pipe 7 distributes the water flow evenly to improve cooling efficiency. The placement tank 5 has a built-in buffer spring 14 to absorb the vibration energy of the fan during operation, avoiding noise amplification caused by structural resonance. The number of installation ports 4 matches the number of fans, and the outer casing 11 protects against the risk of friction of the fan blades 10, extending the equipment life.
[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0050] In using this utility model, to reduce the noise generated during the start-up of the cooling tower, the original fan is replaced with a silent large-blade axial flow fan. The controller 9 adjusts the speed of the DC motor via an electrical signal to drive the fan blades 10 to rotate and efficiently exhaust the hot air inside the tower. A shell 11 is added to the outer end of the fan blades 10 to provide physical protection for the fan blades 10 and prevent noise from friction between the fan blades 10 and the tower body 1. A soundproof cover 12 is added to the outside of the shell 11, and internal filter cotton is used to absorb noise. The fixing plate 13 is combined with the buffer spring 14. When the fan vibrates, the buffer spring 14 absorbs the vibration energy. To reduce water source noise, spray... A noise reduction structure is added below the pipe 7. The mounting plate 15 is installed into the tower body 1 with screws. The buffer plate 17 and the groove 16 form a sliding connection. Multiple buffer plates 17 are inserted and installed through the groove 16. The buffer plate 17 has a stepped downward inclined structure. When water falls onto the buffer plate 17, the water flow increases downward to reduce the falling speed. The buffer plate 17 uses internal sound-absorbing cotton 18 to absorb the noise of water hitting the plate surface. The spiral plate 21 is installed through the reinforcing plate 19. The reinforcing plate 19 is connected to the mounting plate 15 on both sides to increase the stability of the spiral plate 21. The spiral plate 21 extends the water flow path to reduce the water flow impact noise.
