Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, and in particular to an energy-saving cooling tower for fermentation treatment. Background Technology
[0002] Cooling towers use water as a circulating coolant to absorb heat and release it into the atmosphere to lower the water temperature. During the fermentation of rice flour or wheat flour, microbial metabolism releases heat, causing the system temperature to rise. Excessive temperature will inhibit microbial activity and affect product quality. Therefore, cooling towers are needed to control the fermentation temperature.
[0003] However, some existing cooling towers typically require a spray system to irrigate the interior during use. After prolonged use, scale builds up on the surface. When the spray system irrigates the tower, it flushes the scale into the bottom of the tower. When the spray system resumes operation, it pumps the scale into its own delivery pipes, causing internal blockages and potentially clogging the nozzles, thus damaging the spray system.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes an energy-saving cooling tower for fermentation treatment to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an energy-saving cooling tower for fermentation treatment to solve the problem in the prior art where scale is pumped into its own conveying pipe, causing internal blockage and potentially clogging of the spray nozzles, thus damaging the spraying device.

[0007] A further improvement is that the filter assembly includes a fixing frame, the side wall of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the cooling tower body, a sliding block is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixing frame, a sliding rod is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding block, the top of the sliding rod passes through the inner side of the fixing frame and is fixedly installed on an mounting frame, and a handle is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] according to Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a solution: an energy-saving cooling tower for fermentation treatment, including a cooling tower body 1, a base 2 fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the cooling tower body 1, multiple connecting holes 3 opened at the bottom of the base 2, a fermentation tank 4 set on the top of the base 2, a guide plate 5 set on the inner side of the cooling tower body 1 and on the top of the fermentation tank 4, a water spraying packing 6 set on the inner side of the cooling tower body 1 and on the top of the guide plate 5, a fan 7 set on the top of the cooling tower body 1, a filter assembly set on the inner side of the cooling tower body 1 and on the left side of the base 2 for filtering scale and impurities, and a circulation assembly set on the left side of the cooling tower body 1 for energy-saving water source.
[0023] In this implementation, the fermentation tank 4 is placed on top of the base 2 and serves as the container for the fermentation reaction of the fermenting material. During fermentation, it generates heat, providing a stable space for the process. In conjunction with other structures in the cooling tower, it ensures that the heat generated during fermentation is promptly dissipated, guaranteeing that the fermentation process takes place at a suitable temperature. Through the circulation components, cooling water is recycled, maintaining the normal operation of the cooling tower system, reducing water consumption, and improving the energy efficiency of the equipment. The water-spraying packing 6 is located on top of the guide plate 5. Cooling water sprayed by the circulation components forms a water film on its surface. Rising air comes into full contact with the water film, transferring heat from the water to the air through heat conduction and evaporation, thus cooling the water. Water from inside the water-spraying packing 6 drips onto the guide plate 5, which then directs the water towards the top of the fermentation tank 4. The fan 7 then starts rotating, drawing air into the cooling tower body 1 through the vents. The high-speed airflow then contacts the water mist for cooling. Through the filter components, scale and impurities are effectively intercepted, protecting the spraying device and circulation system, and extending the equipment's service life.
[0024] The filter assembly includes a mounting bracket 8, the side wall of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cooling tower body 1. A sliding block 9 is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 8. A sliding rod 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding block 9. The top of the sliding rod 10 passes through the inner side of the mounting bracket 8 and is fixedly installed on a mounting bracket 11. A handle is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket 11. The mounting bracket 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the cooling tower body 1. The sliding block 9 can slide up and down in the sliding hole inside the mounting bracket 8. The sliding rod 10 connects the sliding block 9 and the mounting bracket 11. The handle is installed on the top of the mounting bracket 11 for easy operation.
[0025] The inner side of the fixed frame 8 is provided with a sliding hole for the sliding block 9 to slide up and down. Inside the sliding hole and located at the outer edge of the sliding rod 10, there is an elastic element 12 that drives the sliding block 9 to descend. The elastic element 12 is located inside the sliding hole and at the outer edge of the sliding rod 10. When the mounting frame 11 is pulled upward, the elastic element 12 is compressed and generates elastic potential energy.
[0026] A filter plate 13 is fitted inside the fixing frame 8 and at the bottom of the mounting frame 11. Two locking blocks 14 are fixedly installed on the top of the filter plate 13. The mounting frame 11 has a slot that matches the locking blocks 14. During installation, the mounting frame 11 is pulled upward to the highest point, the filter plate 13 is moved backward from the front, and the locking blocks 14 are inserted into the slots to fix the filter plate 13 to the mounting frame 11.
[0027] The circulation assembly includes a water storage tank 15, which is fixedly connected to the left side of the cooling tower body 1 on the right side. Pumps 16 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the water storage tank 15. Two delivery pipes 17 are fixedly installed at the top of the top pump 16. The end of the delivery pipe 17 away from the pump 16 passes through the inner side of the cooling tower body 1 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cooling tower body 1. Multiple nozzles 18 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the delivery pipe 17. A circulation pipe 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom pump 16. The end of the circulation pipe 19 away from the pump 16 passes through the inner side of the cooling tower body 1 and extends into it. The top pump 16 delivers the cooling water in the water storage tank 15 to the nozzles 18 through the delivery pipes 17, so that the water is sprayed onto the water spraying packing 6. The bottom pump 16 pumps the water in the base 2 after heat exchange back to the water storage tank 15 through the circulation pipe 19, so as to realize the circulation of cooling water in the cooling tower. By recycling the cooling water, the waste of water resources is reduced, and the purpose of energy saving is achieved.
[0028] A door 20 is rotatably connected to the front of the cooling tower body 1. A handle is fixedly installed on the front of the door 20. A vent is provided on the front of the cooling tower body 1 and at the top of the door 20. The door 20 can be opened or closed by the handle, which makes it convenient for staff to inspect, maintain and clean the internal fermentation tank 4, filter components, water spraying packing 6 and other components.
[0029] The above embodiment discloses an energy-saving cooling tower for fermentation treatment. When installing the filter plate 13, pulling the mounting frame upwards to its highest point compresses the elastic element 12, generating elastic potential energy. This moves the filter plate 13 backwards from the front, engaging the locking block 14 into the slot, thus fixing the filter plate 13 to the mounting frame 11. The elastic element 12 then releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the sliding block 9, sliding rod 10, and mounting frame 11 downwards, causing the mounting frame 11 to engage and fix the filter plate 13. During operation, the top pump 16 delivers cooling water from the storage tank 15 to the nozzle 18 via the delivery pipe 17, spraying the water onto the water-spraying packing 6. The water-spraying packing 6 is located at the top of the guide plate 5. The cooling water sprayed through the circulation assembly forms a water film on its surface. The rising air comes into full contact with the water film, transferring heat from the water through heat conduction and evaporation. The water is released into the air to cool the cooling water. Then, the water inside the water spraying packing 6 drips onto the guide plate 5, which then directs the water to the top of the fermentation tank 4. The fan 7 then starts to rotate, drawing air into the cooling tower body 1 through the vent. The high-speed airflow then comes into contact with the water mist to perform the cooling operation. The bottom pump 16 pumps the water that has undergone heat exchange in the base 2 back to the water storage tank 15 through the circulation pipe 19, realizing the circulation of cooling water in the cooling tower. By recycling the cooling water, water waste is reduced, achieving energy saving. At the same time, the filter plate 13 effectively intercepts scale and impurities, preventing them from entering the circulation pipe 19, pump 16, and delivery pipe 17, avoiding pipe blockage and nozzle 18 blockage, protecting the spraying device and circulation system, extending equipment service life, and reducing maintenance costs.
