Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field, and in particular to a cooling tower that is easy to move by forklift. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cooling towers are widely used heat exchange equipment in industries such as power, chemical, metallurgy, and air conditioning. They are mainly used to discharge waste heat from industrial circulating water into the atmosphere through evaporative cooling and convective heat transfer, thereby reducing the water temperature and achieving recycling. Their working principle involves heat transfer through direct or indirect contact between air and water, utilizing evaporative cooling and sensible heat exchange.

[0003] Traditional cooling towers mainly consist of a fan system, a spray system, a heat exchange layer, a packing layer, and a water tank, arranged from top to bottom. The water tank has a base at the bottom, and two lifting lugs are installed on the heat exchange layer for easy crane lifting. The heat exchange layer has a hot water inlet pipe and a cold water outlet pipe. The spray system draws water from the tank and sprays it downwards onto the heat exchange layer. The water on the heat exchange layer then falls back into the water tank through the packing layer. Simultaneously, the fan system cools the heat exchange layer, thereby cooling the incoming hot water.

[0004] In existing technologies, cooling towers are typically moved using cranes. However, some installation sites in factories are limited by space, making it impossible for cranes to enter directly, thus hindering the movement of the cooling towers. Utility Model Content

[0022] This application discloses a cooling tower that is easy to move by forklift, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes, from top to bottom, a fan system 1, a spray system 2, a heat exchange layer 3, a packing layer 4, and a water tank 5. The fan system 1 mainly includes an axial flow fan 11.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the spray system 2 includes a spray pump 21, a pump inlet pipe 211 connected to the inlet of the spray pump 21, a pump outlet pipe 212 connected to the outlet of the spray pump 21, a spray shell 22 connected to the bottom of the fan system 1, a first horizontal pipe 23 built into the spray shell 22 and connected to the pump outlet pipe 212, a plurality of second horizontal pipes 24 connected to the first horizontal pipe 23, and a plurality of nozzles 25 connected to the second horizontal pipes 24; the pump inlet pipe 211 is connected to the water tank 5; a base 51 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 5, a hot medium inlet pipe 32 and a cold medium outlet pipe 33 are connected to the heat exchange layer 3, the heat exchange layer 3 includes a coil 31, the inlet of the coil 31 is connected to the hot medium inlet pipe 32, the outlet of the coil 31 is connected to the cold medium outlet pipe 33, and forklift holes 511 are respectively opened at both ends of the base 51, and a reinforcing plate 52 is provided in each forklift hole 511.

[0024] The spray pump 21 draws water from the water tank 5 into the first horizontal pipe 23, and then the nozzle 25 sprays the water downwards onto the heat exchange layer 3. The water on the heat exchange layer 3 then falls into the water tank 5 through the packing layer 4. The packing layer 4 includes multiple heat dissipation fins, which, under the action of the fan system 1, can cool the heat exchange layer 3, thereby cooling the externally supplied heat medium. When the cooling tower needs to be moved, it can be moved directly by a forklift through the forklift hole 511. In addition, the reinforcing plate 52 reduces the possibility of deformation of the base 51.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a groove 512 is provided at one end of the forklift hole 511, and a connecting plate 53 is installed at one end of the reinforcing plate 52. The connecting plate 53 is detachably connected to the groove 512 via a connecting mechanism 6. When the reinforcing plate 52 needs to be installed, first, the reinforcing plate 52 is moved to insert into the forklift hole 511 and the connecting plate 53 is inserted into the groove 512. Then, the connecting plate 53 is fixed by the connecting mechanism 6, thereby allowing the reinforcing plate 52 to be installed. In summary, the above scheme facilitates the installation of the reinforcing plate 52.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first threaded rod 531 is horizontally fixed to one end of the connecting plate 53, and a butt plate 54 is integrally formed on one end of the reinforcing plate 52. A first threaded groove 541 is provided on the end of the butt plate 54 near the connecting plate 53, and the first threaded rod 531 is threaded into the first threaded groove 541. The first threaded rod 531 and the first threaded groove 541 facilitate the connection between the connecting plate 53 and the reinforcing plate 52.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting mechanism 6 includes two guide rods 61 horizontally installed on the inner wall of the settling tank 512 and a pressure plate 62 slidably connected to the two guide rods 61 along the length of the reinforcing plate 52. The pressure plate 62 is used to press and fix the connecting plate 53. Both guide rods 61 are horizontally arranged through the pressure plate 62 and the connecting plate 53. Each guide rod 61 is threaded with a fixing nut 63, which is used to fix the pressure plate 62. When it is necessary to fix the reinforcing plate 52, the pressure plate 62 is first moved to press the connecting plate 53, and then the pressure plate 62 is fixed by the fixing nut 63, thereby fixing the reinforcing plate 52. In summary, the connecting mechanism 6 facilitates the fixing of the reinforcing plate 52.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a second threaded rod 611 is horizontally fixed to one end of the guide rod 61. The second threaded rod 611 is coaxially arranged with the guide rod 61. A second threaded groove 513 is formed on the inner wall of the recess 512, and the second threaded rod 611 is threadedly connected to the second threaded groove 513. The second threaded rod 611 and the second threaded groove 513 facilitate the installation of the guide rod 61.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple sets of anti-loosening components 7 are installed on the side of the pressure plate 62 near the connecting plate 53 to prevent the fixing nut 63 from loosening. Each set of anti-loosening components 7 includes a groove 71 opened on the side of the pressure plate 62 near the connecting plate 53, an anti-loosening plate 72 slidably connected to the groove 71 along the length of the reinforcing plate 52, and an anti-loosening spring 73 horizontally fixed to the side of the anti-loosening plate 72 away from the connecting plate 53. One end of the anti-loosening plate 72 abuts against one side of the connecting plate 53, and the end of the anti-loosening spring 73 away from the anti-loosening plate 72 is fixed to the bottom of the groove 71. When the pressure plate 62 is pressed by the fixing nut 63, the anti-loosening spring 73 is in a compressed state. Under the elastic force of the anti-loosening spring 73, the fixing nut 63 can be firmly engaged with the threads on the guide rod 61, thereby preventing the fixing nut 63 from loosening.

[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
