[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The upper fixing ring is connected to the outer wall of the nozzle, and the top of the guide cone is located at the bottom of the nozzle. A fixing rod is connected between two adjacent nozzles. One end of the fixing rod on the outer wall of the outer nozzle is connected to the inner wall of the cooling tower body, and one end of the fixing rod on the outer wall of the inner nozzle is connected to the outer wall of the liquid separator.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The bottom of the adjusting head is provided with a through hole, and an adjusting device is installed inside the adjusting head. The adjusting device includes a connecting rod and a support box. A support plate is slidably connected inside the support box. An adjusting block is connected to one side of the support plate, and sliding blocks are connected to both sides of the support plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A driving mechanism is installed on the top of the liquid separator. The driving mechanism includes a support block.

[0018] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a dispersion device, high-speed gas is blown in through an external air pipe, so that the gas is blown out from the through hole at the bottom of the regulating head and comes into contact with the guide cone. The gas blows the guide plate, which in turn rotates under force, thereby generating vortices around the guide plate. The vortices agitate the water mist, allowing the water mist to diffuse in all directions, thereby increasing the atomization range and allowing the atomized water to fully contact the air, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.

[0020] 2. In this utility model, by setting an adjustment device, the connecting rod is driven downward by the drive mechanism, which in turn drives the adjustment frame downward. The adjustment frame then drives the sliding block to move to one side through the adjustment groove, which in turn drives the support plate to move. The support plate then drives the adjustment block to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the outer wall of the adjustment block and the inner wall of the external air pipe. This allows for adjustment of the amount of air blown in, thus adjusting the atomization state of the water spray. In a humid environment, the device can reduce the atomization degree. By atomizing the water into tiny droplets, the heat transfer area is increased, thus increasing the cooling effect. In a dry environment, the atomization degree is increased, allowing the smaller water droplets to evaporate and absorb heat more quickly, thereby expanding the applicability of the device.

[0027] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cooling tower with self-cleaning function, including a cooling tower body 1, a water pump module 2 inside the cooling tower body 1, a liquid distribution box 3 connected to the top of the water pump module 2, multiple connecting pipes 9 connected to the outer wall of the liquid distribution box 3, and multiple nozzles 8 connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipes 9, an installation plate 6 installed on the top of the nozzle 8, and an adjusting head 11 connected to the bottom of the installation plate 6, an external air pipe 12 connected to the outer wall of the adjusting head 11, and a dispersing device 7 connected to the bottom of the nozzle 8, the dispersing device 7 including an upper fixing ring 704, multiple connecting rods 705 connected to the bottom of the upper fixing ring 704, and the bottom of the multiple connecting rods 705 connected to the same lower fixing ring. The lower fixed ring 706 has a support frame 707 connected to its inner wall. The support frame 707 has a rotating groove at its top, and a rotating block 703 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove. A guide cone 701 is connected to the top of the rotating block 703, and multiple guide plates 702 are connected to the outer wall of the guide cone 701. The upper fixed ring 704 is connected to the outer wall of the nozzle 8, and the top of the guide cone 701 is located at the bottom of the nozzle 8. A fixing rod 10 is connected between two adjacent nozzles 8. One end of the fixing rod 10 on the outer wall of the outer nozzle 8 is connected to the inner wall of the cooling tower body 1, and one end of the fixing rod 10 on the outer wall of the inner nozzle 8 is connected to the outer wall of the liquid separator 3.

[0029] In a specific implementation, a dispersion device 7 is installed, and high-speed gas is blown in through an external air pipe 12. The gas is blown out from the bottom of the regulating head 11 and then from the bottom of the nozzle 8, contacting the guide plate 702. This causes the guide plate 702 to rotate, which in turn causes the guide cone block 701 to rotate. This rotation of the guide plate 702 generates vortices around it, which in turn agitate and disperse the water mist. The water mist can then spread in all directions through the vortex agitation, thereby increasing the atomization range and allowing the atomized water to fully contact the air, thus improving the cooling efficiency. The cooling tower body 1 pumps water into the water spraying device at the top of the tower, which then sprays it onto the packing material. At the same time, air enters from the air inlet, contacts the water in the packing layer, and exchanges heat. Then, the hot and humid air passes through a water collector to collect water droplets, and is then discharged by a fan. The cooled water is collected in a water tank and then circulated back into the system. This technology is existing technology and does not need to be described in detail.

[0030] The adjusting head 11 has a through hole at its bottom and an adjusting device 5 is installed inside the adjusting head 11. The adjusting device 5 includes a connecting rod 501 and a support box 503. A support plate 506 is slidably connected inside the support box 503. An adjusting block 507 is connected to one side of the support plate 506, and sliding blocks 505 are connected to both sides of the support plate 506. An adjusting frame 502 is connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 501. An adjusting groove 504 is opened on both sides of the adjusting frame 502. The adjusting block 507 is conical, the adjusting groove 504 is inclined, and the outer wall of the sliding block 505 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting groove 504. One side of the support box 503 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the adjusting head 11. A sealing sleeve is embedded in the top of the mounting plate 6, and the inner wall of the sealing sleeve is connected to the connecting rod 501. 1. The outer wall is slidably connected, and the top of the connecting rod 501 extends into the adjusting head 11 through the sealing sleeve. The top of the liquid distribution box 3 is equipped with a driving mechanism 4. The driving mechanism 4 includes a support block 404. The bottom of the support block 404 is connected to the top of the liquid distribution box 3. Multiple connecting plates 403 are connected to the outer wall of the support block 404, and the other side of the connecting plate 403 is connected to the inner wall of the cooling tower body 1. An electric push rod 402 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting plate 403. The top rod of the electric push rod 402 passes through the connecting plate 403 and is connected to an adjusting plate 405. The bottom of the adjusting plate 405 is connected to the top of multiple connecting rods 501 on the same side. Two sliding sleeves are embedded in the connecting plate 403, and a sliding rod 401 is slidably connected in the sliding sleeve. The bottom of the sliding rod 401 is connected to the top of the adjusting plate 405.

[0031] In a specific implementation, an adjustment device 5 is provided, and an electric push rod 402 drives the adjustment plate 405 to move. A sliding rod 401 supports the adjustment plate 405 to prevent it from shifting during movement and affecting the adjustment effect. Then, the adjustment plate 405 drives the connecting rod 501 to move downward, causing the connecting rod 501 to drive the adjustment frame 502 to move downward. By setting the adjustment groove 504 to be inclined, the adjustment frame 502 drives the sliding block 505 to move to one side through the adjustment groove 504. This causes the sliding block 505 to drive the support plate 506 to move, so that the support plate 506 moves within the support box 503. The support plate 506 then drives the adjustment block 507 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the outer wall of the adjustment block 507 and the inner wall of the external air pipe 12, so that the blown air... The gas volume can be adjusted to regulate the water atomization state. In humid environments, the atomization degree can be reduced, increasing the heat transfer area and improving the cooling effect by atomizing water into tiny droplets. In dry environments, the atomization degree can be increased, allowing smaller water droplets to evaporate and absorb heat more quickly. Based on the device's applicable range, multiple electric push rods 402 can be used to control the device. As needed, the adjusting block 507 can be made to fit against the external air pipe 12 to block it. Then, a single electric push rod 402 can move one of the adjusting blocks 507 and disengage it from the external air pipe 12, thereby increasing the airflow speed inside the nozzle 8. This helps to blow away and clean impurities accumulated in the nozzle 8, preventing blockages that could affect the atomization effect of the nozzle 8.

[0032] Working principle: During use, the electric push rod 402 drives the adjusting plate 405 to move, which in turn drives the connecting rod 501 to move downward. The connecting rod 501 drives the adjusting frame 502 to move downward, which in turn drives the adjusting frame 502 to move the sliding block 505 to one side through the inclined adjusting groove 504. This causes the sliding block 505 to move the support plate 506, which in turn drives the adjusting block 507 to move. This adjusts the distance between the inclined outer wall of the adjusting block 507 and the inner wall of the external air pipe 12, thereby regulating the gas flow and controlling the intake volume. The incoming gas is then blown out from the bottom of the adjusting head 11 and contacts the guide plate 702. The inclined guide plate 702 is then forced to rotate the guide cone block 701, which in turn stirs the surrounding air, creating a vortex. This vortex then diffuses the sprayed water mist, increasing the diffusion range of the water mist and improving cooling efficiency.
