Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, and in particular to a water-saving cooling tower. Background Technology

[0002] A cooling tower is a device that discharges excess heat from equipment into the atmosphere through heat exchange between water and air, thereby reducing the temperature of circulating water. It is widely used in industrial production and air conditioning and is an indispensable piece of equipment in modern buildings and industrial operations.

[0003] When a cooling tower is in use, hot water is first delivered to the heat exchange tubes inside the tower. Then, cooling water is sprayed out through the spray assembly, which comes into contact with the hot water inside the heat exchange tubes to exchange heat. The water then falls into the packing layer, where it directly contacts the rising air for heat exchange, achieving further cooling. Some of the water evaporates, carrying away heat and thus lowering the temperature of the cooling water.

[0004] Although the cooling tower can cool hot water, the cooling water generated by the spraying is not recycled after heat exchange but is directly discharged, resulting in a large waste of water resources and increased operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a water-saving cooling tower, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where the cooling water generated by spraying is not recycled after heat exchange but is directly discharged, resulting in a large waste of water resources.

[0036] 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.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a water-saving cooling tower, comprising: a tower body 1; an air inlet 6 located on the front exterior of the tower body 1; a connecting pipe 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the tower body 1; a treatment box 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 11; a filter plate 13 installed on the left side inside the treatment box 12; a circulating pump 18 and a delivery pipe 19, the circulating pump 18 fixedly connected to the right exterior of the treatment box 12, the input end of the circulating pump 18 fixedly connected to the inside of the treatment box 12, and the delivery pipe 19 fixedly connected to the output end of the circulating pump 18; a guide pipe 20 and nozzles 21, the guide pipe 20 fixedly connected to the top of the delivery pipe 19, and the nozzles 21 installed on both sides of the lower part of the guide pipe 20; and a disassembly and assembly assembly and a cleaning assembly, the disassembly and assembly assembly being used to disassemble and assemble the filter plate 13, and the cleaning assembly being used to clean the air inlet 6. A cooler is installed on the right exterior of the treatment box 12. 14. A condenser pipe 15 is installed on the right side inside the treatment box 12. The condenser pipe 15 is connected to the cooler 14. A fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the left side outside the guide pipe 20. The bottom of the fixing block 22 is fixedly connected to the left side inside the tower body 1. A drain outlet 17 is fixedly connected to the rear side outside the treatment box 12. The drain outlet 17 facilitates the drainage of water inside the treatment box 12. A filling port 16 is fixedly connected to the right side outside the treatment box 12. The filling port 16 facilitates the filling of water into the treatment box 12. An exhaust port 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the tower body 1. A fan 4 is installed inside the exhaust port 3. A dustproof net 5 is installed on the top of the exhaust port 3. The dustproof net 5 can prevent impurities from falling into the exhaust pipe. A heat exchange pipe 23 is installed inside the tower body 1. A packing layer 24 is set at the bottom inside the tower body 1. Support legs 2 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the tower body 1. The support legs 2 serve to support and fix the cooling tower.

[0038] Specifically, when it is necessary to recycle and reuse the water generated during the spraying process, the water generated during the spraying process first falls into the interior of the connecting pipe 11, and then is transported to the interior of the treatment tank 12 through the connecting pipe 11. The water entering the treatment tank 12 is first filtered by the filter plate 13, which can effectively intercept suspended solids, particulate impurities and other pollutants in the water, achieving preliminary purification. The filtered water continues to enter the cooling process. By starting the cooler 14, the filtered water is cooled down under the coordinated action of the cooler 14 and the condenser pipe 15, ensuring that it maintains a good cooling effect in the subsequent spraying process. The cooled water is drawn out of the treatment tank 12 by the circulating pump 18 and transported to the interior of the guide pipe 20 through the conveying pipe 19, and finally enters the end of the guide pipe 20, where it is sprayed out again by the nozzle 21, realizing the recycling and reuse of the spraying water. This cycle process can be continuously operated, allowing the water generated during the spraying to be continuously recycled, significantly reducing the waste of water resources, reducing dependence on external water sources, and lowering the overall operating cost.

[0039] Reference Figures 6-7 The assembly and disassembly components include an installation cavity 25, which is located inside the processing box 12. A slider 26 is slidably connected inside the installation cavity 25. An insert block 29 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slider 26, and a pull rod 27 is fixedly connected to the left side of the slider 26. The pull rod 27 facilitates the use of the operator. A spring 28 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 27. A through hole 31 is opened on the left side of the processing box 12, and the pull rod 27 is slidably connected inside the through hole 31. The through hole 31 facilitates the movement of the pull rod 27. A slot 30 is opened inside the filter plate 13, and the insert block 29 is inserted into the slot 30 to fix the filter plate 13.

[0040] Specifically, when the filter plate 13 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, firstly, by pulling the lever 27, the connected slider 26 slides inside the mounting cavity 25. During the movement of the slider 26, the externally fixed insert 29 on its right side also moves synchronously. Simultaneously, the lever 27 compresses the externally fitted spring 28 during its movement, causing the spring 28 to undergo elastic deformation and store potential energy. Then, as the insert 29 moves, when it completely disengages from its original fitted slot 30, the filter plate 13 can be unlocked. At this point, the operator can easily remove the filter plate 13 from the processing box 12. During cleaning and maintenance, after cleaning the filter plate 13, during reinstallation, simply insert it into the designated position on the treatment box 12 and push it into the preset locking position. Then, release the pull rod 27, and the spring 28 returns to its initial state under the elastic recovery action, driving the slider 26 and the insert block 29 to move back to their original positions. The insert block 29 finally re-embeds into the slot 30, locking the filter plate 13. This structure not only simplifies the disassembly and installation process of the filter plate 13 and improves the convenience of maintenance, but also avoids the clogging of the filter plate 13 caused by long-term accumulation of impurities, ensuring smooth flow of liquid and thus improving the recycling efficiency of the spray water.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-3 The cleaning component includes two fixing plates 7, which are fixedly connected to the front side of the tower body 1. Fixing rods 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inside of the two fixing plates 7. Cleaning brushes 9 are slidably connected to the outside of the two fixing rods 8. The cleaning brushes 9 are used to clean the outside of the air inlet 6. The cleaning brushes 9 are in contact with the air inlet 6. A handle 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning brushes 9. The handle 10 is used to facilitate the use of the operator.

[0042] Specifically, when it is necessary to clean the impurities attached to the outside of the air inlet 6, the operator can first move the handle 10, the bottom of which is fixed with a cleaning brush 9. During the movement of the handle 10, the cleaning brush 9 moves along the outside of the two fixed rods 8 set on the outside of the cooling tower. This structure ensures that the cleaning brush 9 can evenly cover the entire external area of ​​the air inlet 6 within a limited range. When the cleaning brush 9 contacts the outer wall of the air inlet 6 during the sliding process, the bristles can effectively remove dust, particles, insect residue and other impurities attached to the surface of the hole wall, ensuring the cleanliness of the air inlet surface. After the cleaning operation is completed, simply push the handle 10 in the opposite direction to drive the cleaning brush 9 back to its original path, thus realizing the cleaning operation of the impurities on the outside of the air inlet 6, avoiding the long-term accumulation of impurities that may cause air intake obstruction or local blockage, thereby improving the overall heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower.

[0043] Working principle: When it is necessary to recycle the water generated by the spraying, the sprayed water first falls into the inside of the connecting pipe 11, and then is transported to the inside of the treatment tank 12 through the connecting pipe 11. The water entering the treatment tank 12 first passes through the filter plate 13 to filter out impurities. The filtered water is then cooled by starting the cooler 14. The cooler 14, in cooperation with the condenser pipe 15, cools the filtered water. Then, the circulating pump 18 draws the water out of the treatment tank 12 and transports it to the inside of the guide pipe 20 through the conveying pipe 19. Finally, the water is sprayed out through the nozzle 21. This process is repeated to complete the recycling of the water generated by the spraying, which facilitates the recycling of the water generated by the spraying, reduces water waste, and thus lowers operating costs.

[0044] When the filter plate 13 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, firstly, pull the lever 27 to move the slider 26 inside the mounting cavity 25. During the movement of the slider 26, the externally fixed insert 29 moves along with it. At the same time, when the lever 27 moves, it compresses the externally sleeved spring 28, causing the spring 28 to deform under force. Then, when the insert 29 disengages from the slot 30, the filter plate 13 can be removed from the inside of the treatment box 12 for cleaning. During installation, the filter plate 13 is inserted into the inside of the treatment box 12. Then, when the lever 27 is released, the insert 29 is reset under the reaction force of the spring 28 and inserted into the slot 30. This completes the installation of the filter plate 13, making it easy to disassemble and clean the filter plate 13 inside the treatment box 12, preventing impurities from clogging the filter plate 13, ensuring smooth liquid flow, and thus improving the circulation efficiency of the spray water.

[0045] When it is necessary to clean the impurities attached to the outside of the air inlet 6, firstly, move the handle 10 to bring the cleaning brush 9 fixed at the bottom to the outside of the two fixed rods 8. When the cleaning brush 9 moves, it will clean the impurities attached to the outside of the air inlet 6. After cleaning, the cleaning brush 9 can be reset by using the handle 10. This makes it easy to clean the impurities attached to the outside of the cooling tower air inlet 6, keep the air intake smooth, and improve the overall heat exchange efficiency of the cooling tower.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
