[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a concealed wind turbine cooling tower, including a wind chamber 1, a water guide plate 2, an air guide plate 3, an air inlet bracket 4, an air inlet mesh 5, a fan outlet baffle 6, a wind chamber partition 7, a water level viewing window 8, a water level observation port bracket 9, a maintenance door handle 10, a maintenance door viewing window 11, a maintenance door panel 12, a wind guide movable plate 13, a fan 14, a fan partition 15, a motor frame 16, a motor 17, and a first locking knob 18. The assembly includes a mounting slot 19, a rotating shaft 20, a second locking knob 21, a mounting slide rail 22, a limit slider 23, and a ball bearing 24. A maintenance door panel 12 is installed at the lower front end of the air chamber 1, and an air inlet mesh 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the maintenance door panel 12. The air chamber 1, the fan 14, and the motor 17 are distributed in two sets of partitions through the air chamber partition 7 and the fan partition 15. This allows the air chamber 1, the fan 14, and the motor 17 to be independently separated, avoiding mutual heat insulation and improving the cooling effect.
[0023] The air inlet mesh 5 and the maintenance door panel 12 are integrated into one structure. The air inlet mesh 5 and the maintenance door panel 12 are magnetically connected to the air chamber 1 through the air inlet bracket 4 and the mounting groove 19. The maintenance door panel 12 is locked and fixedly connected to the air chamber 1 through the first locking knob 18. This makes it easy to quickly disassemble and assemble the air inlet mesh 5 and the maintenance door panel 12 as a whole.
[0024] A baffle plate 7 is installed at the upper middle part of the inner wall of the air chamber 1, and a fan baffle plate 15 is installed at the lower end of the baffle plate 7. Mounting slide rails 22 are installed at the lower ends of both sides of the inner wall of the air chamber 1, and a limiting slider 23 is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting slide rail 22. A ball bearing 24 is slidably installed between the limiting slider 23 and the mounting slide rail 22, and a motor frame 16 is fixedly connected between the limiting slider 23 and the mounting slide rail 22. A motor 17 is installed on the inner wall of the motor frame 16, and a fan 14 is installed at the output end of the motor 17. The fan 14 and the motor 17 are connected to the mounting slide rail 22 in a limited front and rear pull-out connection through the limiting slider 23 and the ball bearing 24, so that the fan 14 and the motor 17 can be easily pulled out as a whole for easy maintenance and use.
[0025] A water guide plate 2 is installed on the upper front side of the inner wall of the air chamber 1, and a fan outlet baffle plate 6 is installed on the rear side of the water guide plate 2. The water guide plate 2 and the air guide plate 3 are distributed in a staggered and inclined position on the inner wall of the air chamber 1. The position of the fan outlet baffle plate 6 matches the position of the fan 14 and the motor 17. The fan outlet baffle plate 6 has a symmetrical inclined groove structure, which makes it easy for the water guide plate 2 and the air guide plate 3 to stably discharge and exhaust air. Moreover, the fan outlet baffle plate 6 can prevent water from entering the fan 14.
[0026] A guide plate 3 is installed on the upper rear side of the inner wall of the air chamber 1, and a guide plate 13 is installed on one side edge of the guide plate 3. A splicing installation groove 19 is opened at the lower front side of the air chamber 1. The maintenance door panel 12 is inserted into the splicing installation groove 19 and installed. The first locking knob 18 is inserted into both sides of the maintenance door panel 12. An air inlet bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the upper front side edge of the air chamber 1. An air inlet mesh 5 is inserted into the air inlet bracket 4 and installed. A maintenance door handle 10 is fixedly connected to the front edge of the maintenance door panel 12 and a maintenance door viewing window 11 is installed at the center of the front side of the maintenance door panel 12. A water level observation port bracket 9 is connected to the lower rear side of the air chamber 1 and a rotating shaft 20 is installed on both sides of the lower end of the water level observation port bracket 9. A water level viewing window 8 is installed on one side of the rotating shaft 20 and a second locking knob 21 is inserted into both sides of the water level viewing window 8.
[0027] Both the water level viewing window 8 and the inspection door viewing window 11 are made of transparent acrylic material, and their positions match the positions of the fan 14 and the motor 17. The water level viewing window 8 is connected to the water level observation port bracket 9 by a rotating shaft 20 in a flip-down manner, and the air guide plate 13 is connected to the inspection door plate 12 in a flip-down manner, and the position of the air guide plate 13 matches the position of the water level observation port bracket 9. This makes it convenient to observe the water level viewing window 8 and the inspection door viewing window 11 in real time, and the air guide plate 13 and the inspection door plate 12 can be easily flipped open for quick maintenance. The second locking knob 21 is inserted into the edge of the water level observation port bracket 9.
[0028] Working principle: When using this concealed fan-driven cooling tower, first install the device vertically to the cooling tower, then connect the device to the power supply, and then start the fan 14 via motor 17. The airflow is then guided vertically upwards by the air guide plate 3. When hot water flows through the packing layer into the rain zone, some water flows directly into the air chamber 1, while the other part sprays onto the inclined water guide plate 2. With the guidance of the water guide plate 2, the water also flows into the air chamber 1. Furthermore, the water flow can be diverted to the motor 17 and the airflow through the fan outlet baffle plate 6. The water from the motor 14 is drained and can be observed through the water level viewing window 8 and the inspection door viewing window 11. When it is necessary to inspect the motor 17 and the fan 14, the water level viewing window 8 and the air guide movable plate 13 can be flipped open and the air chamber 1 can be drilled into. When more detailed maintenance is required, the air inlet screen 5 and the inspection door plate 12 can be removed as a whole. Then the motor 17 and the fan 14 can be slid out by the mounting slide rail 22, the limit slider 23, and the ball bearing 24. This is the usage process of the concealed wind turbine cooling tower.
[0029] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
