Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Anti-splash packing is an important component of cooling towers. Its function is to extend the residence time of cooling water, increase the heat exchange area, and thus increase the amount of heat exchanged. Anti-splash packing is usually designed with a porous structure. During operation, water columns or droplets fall onto the anti-splash packing and exchange heat with the rising cold air at the contact point. The water columns or droplets falling onto the packing are buffered, reducing the potential energy of the water flow and thus reducing the noise caused by the water falling to the bottom of the cooling tower.

[0003] The applicant filed a utility model patent application on May 25, 2017 (authorization announcement number CN206989737U), which disclosed a splash-proof and noise-absorbing packing material. The material's beveled tip structure disperses falling water columns or droplets into smaller droplets, reducing their potential energy and thus mitigating noise caused by water droplets falling on the water surface. However, after prolonged use, the inventors discovered the following drawbacks of the aforementioned noise-absorbing packing material: its overall weight is relatively large, increasing production costs and hindering installation inside the tower. Reducing the packing thickness compromises structural strength, potentially leading to deformation or breakage and shortening its service life.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary for the inventors to improve the packing structure to overcome the aforementioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, a splash-proof filler with low production cost and guaranteed structural strength is provided.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a splash-proof filler, including two oppositely arranged side plates and a water-facing part and a reinforcing part disposed between the two side plates. The reinforcing part is located below the water-facing part and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-facing part. The water-facing part is provided with a plurality of inclined water-spraying channels. The reinforcing part includes horizontal ribs and vertical ribs. There are a plurality of horizontal ribs arranged at intervals. The two ends of the horizontal ribs are fixedly connected to the two side plates. A vertical rib is provided between each pair of adjacent horizontal ribs. Through holes corresponding to the water-spraying channels are inclinedly arranged on the horizontal ribs and vertical ribs. The through holes communicate with the corresponding water-spraying channels, and the extension direction of the through holes is the same as the extension direction of the water-spraying channels.

[0007] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the water spray channel and the cross-sectional shape of the through hole are both rhomboid, and the channel wall of the water spray channel and the hole wall of the through hole are coplanar.

[0008] Furthermore, both the horizontal and vertical ribs are composed of multiple diamond-shaped frames connected in sequence. Each diamond-shaped frame includes four reinforcing plates connected end to end in sequence. The top of each reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-facing part, and the space enclosed by the four reinforcing plates constitutes the through hole.

[0009] Furthermore, a reinforcing post is provided at the connection point of each pair of adjacent reinforcing plates on the same rhomboid frame, and the upper end of the reinforcing post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-facing part.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-section of the reinforcing column is an elliptical structure, and the minor axis of the elliptical structure is longer than the thickness of the reinforcing plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the multiple transverse ribs are arranged at equal intervals.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper end face of the water-facing part is flush with the upper surface of the side plate, and the lower end face of the reinforcing part is flush with the lower surface of the side plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the ratio between the height H1 of the water-facing portion and the height H2 of the reinforcing portion is 3:1.

[0014] Furthermore, the angle between the extension direction of the water spray channel and the horizontal plane is α, where 55°≤α≤75°.

[0015] A cooling tower includes a tower body and splash guards as described in any of the preceding claims, wherein the splash guards are horizontally installed inside the tower body.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the splash-proof packing or cooling tower of this utility model, the side plates on both sides of the water-facing section constitute the supporting carrier of the overall packing. The high-strength side plates enhance the structural strength of the water-facing section, effectively preventing deformation and damage due to insufficient strength. The reinforcing section located at the bottom of the water-facing section further enhances the overall strength of the water-facing section. Multiple horizontal ribs are spaced apart on the water-facing section, and both ends of the water-facing section are fixedly connected to the side plates on both sides. By optimizing the layout of the horizontal ribs, the weight of the reinforcing section is reduced, thereby reducing production costs and improving the overall strength of the packing. The longitudinal ribs connecting two adjacent horizontal ribs can enhance the structural strength of the horizontal ribs and prevent them from easily deforming or being damaged.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a splash guard, including two oppositely arranged side plates 1, a water-facing part 2 and a reinforcing part 3 disposed between the two side plates 1. The reinforcing part 3 is located below the water-facing part 2 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-facing part 2. The water-facing part 2 is provided with a plurality of inclined water-spraying channels 210. The reinforcing part 3 includes a plurality of horizontal ribs 31 and a longitudinal rib 32. There are a plurality of horizontal ribs 31 and they are arranged in sequence at intervals. The two ends of the horizontal ribs 31 are fixedly connected to the two side plates 1 respectively. A longitudinal rib 32 is provided between each two adjacent horizontal ribs 31. Inclined through holes 310 are provided on both the horizontal ribs 31 and the longitudinal ribs 32. The through holes 310 correspond one-to-one with the water-spraying channels 210 and are connected to the corresponding water-spraying channels 210. The extension direction of the through holes 310 is the same as the extension direction of the water-spraying channels 210.

[0028] The splash-proof packing of this utility model has side plates 1 on both sides of the water-facing part 2 forming a supporting carrier for the entire packing. The high-strength side plates 1 enhance the structural strength of the water-facing part 2, effectively preventing deformation and damage due to insufficient strength. The reinforcing part 3 located at the bottom of the water-facing part 2 further enhances the overall strength of the water-facing part 2. Multiple horizontal ribs 31 are spaced apart on the water-facing part 2, and both ends of the water-facing part 2 are fixedly connected to the side plates 1 on both sides. By optimizing the layout of the horizontal ribs 31, the weight of the reinforcing part 3 is reduced. Compared to covering the entire bottom of the water-facing part 2 with the reinforcing part 3, this reduces production costs and ensures the overall strength of the packing. The longitudinal ribs 32 connecting two adjacent horizontal ribs 31 can enhance the structural strength of the horizontal ribs 31 and prevent the horizontal ribs 31 from easily deforming or being damaged.

[0029] In use, the splash guard is installed horizontally inside the cooling tower. At this time, the water distribution channel 210 is inclined. When a vertically falling water column or droplet hits the splash guard, it collides with the inclined channel wall of the water distribution channel 210. The water distribution channel 210 restricts water splashing, thereby reducing outward diffusion, and the water eventually flows downward through the water distribution channel 210. As the water flows downward along the channel wall of the water distribution channel 210, the large channel wall area of ​​the inclined water distribution channel 210 increases the contact area between the water and the splash guard, thus improving the heat exchange area. For the water-facing section 2 and the reinforcing section 3, when water passes through the water-facing section 2 along the channel wall of the water distribution channel 210, it also flows downward through the through hole 310. As the water flows along the inner wall of the through hole 310, it also exchanges heat with the rising cold air, further improving the cooling effect of the splash guard.

[0030] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the water spray channel 210 and the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 310 are both rhomboid structures, and the channel wall of the water spray channel 210 and the hole wall of the through hole 310 are coplanar. In this way, it is ensured that the water flowing downward along the water spray channel 210 can flow seamlessly to the hole wall of the through hole 310, so as to achieve stable water flow and avoid some water being trapped on the anti-splash packing.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, both the horizontal rib 31 and the vertical rib 32 are composed of multiple rhomboid frames connected in sequence. The rhomboid frame includes four reinforcing plates 33 connected end to end in sequence. The top of the reinforcing plate 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-facing part 2. The space enclosed by the four reinforcing plates 33 forms a through hole 310.

[0032] Furthermore, a reinforcing column 34 is provided at the connection point of every two adjacent reinforcing plates 33 on the same rhomboid frame. The upper end of the reinforcing column 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-facing part 2. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the reinforcing column 34 is elliptical, and the minor axis of the ellipse is greater than the thickness of the reinforcing plate 33, so as to effectively support the reinforcing plate 33, prevent the reinforcing plate 33 from easily deforming, and improve the overall structural strength of the reinforcing part 3. It is understood that in other embodiments, the cross-section of the reinforcing column 34 can also be circular, regular polygonal, or other irregular structures, which is not limited here.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple horizontal ribs 31 are arranged at equal intervals to ensure that the structural strength of the splash-proof filler is consistent or nearly consistent throughout. In one specific embodiment, there are four horizontal ribs 31, and the specific number can be set according to the user's needs, which is not limited here.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 To improve the uniformity of the splash guard's appearance, the upper surface of the water-facing part 2 is flush with the upper surface of the side plate 1, and the lower surface of the reinforcing part 3 is flush with the lower surface of the side plate 1. Furthermore, the ratio of the height H1 of the water-facing part 2 to the height H2 of the reinforcing part 3 is 1:3.

[0035] Furthermore, the angle between the extension direction of the water spray channel 210 and the horizontal plane is α, 60°≤α≤70°, and in this embodiment, α=65°.

[0036] This utility model also provides a cooling tower, which includes a tower body and the aforementioned anti-splash packing horizontally installed inside the tower body. Since the cooling tower has all the technical features of the aforementioned anti-splash packing, it has the same technical effect as the aforementioned anti-splash packing.

[0037] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
