Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically to a spray descaling structure for cooling towers. Background Technology
[0002] The cooling tower includes a shell, metal heat exchange coils installed inside the shell for the flow of heat medium, a spray device, a fan, and a spray water pump. The spray device sprays cooling water onto the metal heat exchange coils. After cooling, the heat medium is discharged from the closed cooling tower through the outlet of the heat exchange coils. However, during operation, scale is easily generated on the heat exchange coils. Scale refers to a layer of solid or mud-like material that gradually accumulates on the solid surface in contact with the fluid during heat exchange. The presence of scale not only reduces heat transfer efficiency and increases energy and material consumption, but may also pose safety hazards.
[0003] A search revealed that patent document CN211012557U discloses a scale prevention and descaling structure for a closed cooling tower. The structure includes a descaling device installed inside the shell for descaling the heat exchange coils. A spray device is installed at the top of the shell. An electric push rod corresponding to the position of the descaling device is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell. The telescopic end of the electric push rod penetrates the shell and is fixedly connected to the descaling device via a push rod. The descaling device includes mounting plates located on both sides of the heat exchange coils. The upper and lower ends of the two mounting plates are fixedly connected by U-shaped plates. Through the coordinated use of a first descaling mechanism and a second descaling mechanism arranged in an alternating manner, comprehensive descaling and cleaning of the straight and curved sections of the heat exchange coils can be achieved.
[0004] The aforementioned patent also has the following shortcomings: Since the cooling tank lacks an automatic dosing function and relies solely on existing anti-scaling methods such as electronic descaling devices, ion exchange membranes, and mechanical cleaning, the spraying system will face significant drawbacks in actual operation. For example, impurities and scale in the water will gradually accumulate, and the filter layer may not be able to completely remove them, leading to nozzle clogging and affecting spray uniformity and efficiency. Clogged nozzles will result in insufficient cooling in some areas, reducing the overall heat dissipation effect. Therefore, a spray descaling structure for cooling towers is proposed to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

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.
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment of a cooling tower spray descaling structure includes a tower body 1, heat exchange coils 2 fixed inside the tower body 1, a cleaning mechanism inside the tower body 1 for cleaning the heat exchange coils 2, and a spray structure on the tower body 1.

Both the cooling box 5 and the cleaning structure 4 are conventional technologies known to the public in the prior art; therefore, their specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0026] In this embodiment, a mounting platform 7 is fixed on the outer wall of the tower body 1, and a dosing mechanism 8 for use with the cleaning mechanism is provided on the mounting platform 7. The dosing mechanism 8 includes a storage cylinder 801, and a stirring structure is provided on the storage cylinder 801. The stirring structure includes a drive shaft 802 with bearings installed inside the storage cylinder 801. A stirring shaft 803 is splinedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 802. The bottom end of the drive shaft 802 passes through the interior of the mounting platform 7, and a gear 805 connected to a connecting plate 804 is fixed to the bottom end of the drive shaft 802. The top side of the storage cylinder 801 is sealed, and the top end of the stirring shaft 803 is rotatably connected to the top side of the storage cylinder 801.
[0027] To facilitate the delivery of the medicine storage cylinder 801, a liquid delivery structure is fixed on the upper surface of the mounting platform 7, and a linkage structure extending into the tower body 1 is provided below the mounting platform 7. The linkage structure includes a connecting plate 804, a slide 812 is provided on the connecting plate 804, a roller 813 is provided on the slide 812, a first connecting rod 810 connected to the liquid delivery structure is provided on one side of the roller 813, and a second connecting rod 811 is provided between the liquid delivery structure and the stirring structure.
[0028] Specifically, the connecting plate 804 consists of a sliding plate 8041 and a toothed plate 8042, which are fixedly connected. The toothed plate 8042 meshes with a gear 805, which drives the transmission shaft 802 to convert horizontal motion into rotational motion, providing stable power for stirring. The end of the connecting plate 804 away from the sliding plate 8041 extends into the tower body 1, where a limiting groove 11 is provided to guide the sliding plate 8041. To ensure the stability of the sliding plate 8041's movement, a limiting bracket can also be installed on the tower body 1 to limit its movement.
[0029] In this embodiment, the infusion structure includes a piston cylinder 806 fixed to the upper surface of the mounting platform 7. Two check valves 808 are fixed to the outer surface of the piston cylinder 806. The infusion structure also includes a stopper rod 807 disposed inside the piston cylinder 806. One end of the first connecting rod 810 and the second connecting rod 811 are both fixed to the outer surface of the top end of the stopper rod 807, and the other end of the second connecting rod 811 is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 803. The bottom end of the stopper rod 807 is fixed to the piston inside the piston cylinder 806, and the top end of the stopper rod 807 extends to the outside of the piston cylinder 806. Infusion pipes 809 are fixed to both ends of the check valves 808. One infusion pipe 809 is fixedly connected to the drug storage cylinder 801, and the other infusion pipe 809 is connected to the cooling box 5. The slide 812 is fixed to the top side of the slide plate 8041. The slide 812 has an inclined groove 814 inside, and the roller 813 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inclined groove 814. The slide block 812 is fixed to the top side of the slide plate 8041. Its internal inclined groove 814 is connected to the roller 813 in a rolling manner, which converts the horizontal motion into the vertical motion. The first connecting rod 810 connects the stopper rod 807 and the roller 813, driving the stopper rod 807 to reciprocate. The second connecting rod 811 connects the stopper rod 807 and the stirring shaft 803, realizing the synchronous action of stirring and liquid delivery.
[0030] It should be noted that the piston cylinder 806 and the stopper rod 807 constitute a reciprocating conveying system to realize the quantitative and pressurized delivery of the agent. The two check valves 808 control the direction of liquid suction and liquid discharge respectively to prevent the agent from flowing back and to ensure the delivery efficiency. The infusion pipe 809 connects the drug storage cylinder 801 and the spray pipe 6 to realize the remote and precise delivery of the agent.
[0031] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0032] First, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 pushes the cleaning structure 4 to move horizontally along the surface of the heat exchange coil 2 to scrape off the surface dirt. When the cleaning structure 4 is moved to the leftmost position, it contacts the sliding plate 8041, causing the sliding plate 8041 to slide in the limiting groove 11 and drive the toothed plate 8042 to move. The toothed plate 8042 meshes with the gear 805, and the gear 805 drives the transmission shaft 802 and the stirring shaft 803 to rotate, stirring the medicine in the medicine storage cylinder 801.
[0033] At the same time, the roller 813 of the slide block 812 rolls along the inclined slide groove 814, pushing the stopper rod 807 down. The piston cylinder 806 draws liquid from the medicine storage cylinder 801 through the check valve 808 and the infusion pipe 809. When the stopper rod 807 moves up, the pressurized liquid is delivered to the cooling box 5 through another check valve 808. The liquid is then delivered to the spray pipe 6 by the pumping function, and thus sprayed onto the heat exchange coil 2.
[0034] When the stopper rod 807 rises and falls, it drives the stirring shaft 803 to move up and down reciprocally through the second connecting rod 811, thereby improving the liquid activity of the drug storage cylinder 801.
[0035] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
