Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically a cooling tower anti-drift device. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling towers are commonly used equipment in industrial production and air conditioning systems to lower water temperature through heat exchange between water and air. During the operation of a cooling tower, as water drips from the packing layer into the collection tank, and as air and water exchange heat in the opposite direction, some water droplets are carried out of the cooling tower by the high-speed airflow, resulting in water drift.

[0003] Water drift not only wastes water resources and increases water costs for businesses, but the drifting water droplets also carry impurities and microorganisms, causing corrosion and pollution to surrounding equipment and buildings, and impacting the surrounding environment. Existing cooling towers employ some measures to prevent water drift, such as installing baffles, but the effects are still not ideal and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Therefore, developing a cooling tower that can effectively prevent water drift is of significant practical importance.

[0004] To address this issue, the present invention provides a cooling tower anti-drift device, which uses staggered interception plates and interception nets to double-intercept water vapor. In conjunction with a blower blowing high-speed cold air into the interior of the interception plates, the surface temperature of the interception plates is reduced, enhancing the adhesion of water vapor and thus improving the anti-drift capability, thereby solving the aforementioned problem.

There are several groups of interception plates, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected between each group of interception plates. An air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the uppermost group of interception plates.

[0007] Preferably, the interception mechanism further includes an interception net, which is movably installed inside the upper part of the cooling tower body. A spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the interception net, and the surface of the interception plate is uniformly provided with openings.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 A cooling tower anti-drift device includes a cooling tower body 1, an interception mechanism 2 inside the cooling tower body 1, and a water removal mechanism 3 at the top of the cooling tower body 1. The interception mechanism 2 includes a blower 21 and an interception plate 23. An air inlet pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the blower 21. The interception plate 23 is fixedly installed inside the cooling tower body 1. The end of the air inlet pipe 22 away from the blower 21 passes through the cooling tower body 1 and is fixedly connected to the interception plate 23. The surface of the interception plate 23 is wavy. The interior of the interception plate 23 is hollow. There are several groups of interception plates 23. A connecting pipe 25 is fixedly connected between each group of interception plates 23. An air outlet pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the uppermost group of interception plates 23.

[0025] The interception mechanism 2 also includes an interception net 27, which is movably installed inside the upper part of the cooling tower body 1. A spring 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the interception net 27, and openings 24 are evenly provided on the surface of the interception plate 23.

[0026] In this embodiment, multiple sets of wave-shaped interceptor plates 23 are arranged in an alternating manner to form a tortuous airflow channel. The wave-shaped structure of the interceptor plates 23 can increase the contact area and collision probability between water droplets and the plate surface. Combined with the openings 24 on their surfaces, water droplets can more easily adhere to the plate surface and flow back to the water collection pool 14 under the action of gravity. At the same time, the inclined interceptor plates 23 can guide the flow direction of air and water droplets, further promoting the separation of water droplets. The interceptor plates 23 are made of aluminum alloy with good thermal conductivity. Their interior is connected to the blower 21 outside the cooling tower through the air inlet pipe 22. The interceptor plates 23 are connected to each other through the connecting pipe 25. Blower 21 delivers high-speed cold air into the interceptor plate 23, which lowers the surface temperature of the interceptor plate 23 and causes water vapor to condense into water droplets on the surface of the interceptor plate 23, thereby enhancing the interception ability of water vapor. By setting a second layer of interceptor net 27 at the top inside the cooling tower body 1, the interceptor net 27 is woven from high-strength corrosion-resistant stainless steel wire with a mesh size of 0.5-2mm. The mesh structure can effectively promote the condensation of water vapor on its surface and enhance the anti-drift effect.

[0027] Example 2:

[0028] Please see Figure 2-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: ventilation grilles 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cooling tower body 1, maintenance ladder 12 is fixedly connected to the front end of the cooling tower body 1, and ventilation fan 13 is fixedly connected to the top end of the cooling tower body 1.

[0029] A water collection pool 14 is provided at the bottom of the interior of the cooling tower body 1, and a packing layer 15 is fixedly connected to the interior of the cooling tower body 1 above the water collection pool 14.

[0030] A hot water inlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected above the internal packing layer 15 of the cooling tower body 1, and a spray head 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hot water inlet pipe 16.

[0031] An installation block 18 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the cooling tower body 1, and the bottom end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the installation block 18.

[0032] The dewatering mechanism 3 includes a rotating wheel 31, which is rotatably installed at the top of the interior of the cooling tower body 1. A movable rod 32 is movably connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 31, and a rubber hammer 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the movable rod 32 away from the rotating wheel 31.

[0033] A connecting shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the center of the front side of the rotating wheel 31. A transmission wheel 35 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 34 away from the rotating wheel 31. The air outlet of the air outlet pipe 26 is located below the transmission wheel 35.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting a dewatering mechanism 3, the air outlet of the air outlet pipe 26 is positioned below the transmission wheel 35. The high-speed cold air blown out by the blower 21 is discharged through the air outlet pipe 26 and blown towards the transmission wheel 35, causing the transmission wheel 35 to rotate. While the transmission wheel 35 rotates, it drives the rotating wheel 31 to rotate through the connecting shaft 34. Multiple sets of rubber hammers 33 are provided on the circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 31. The rubber hammers 33 are movably connected to the rotating wheel 31 through a movable rod 32. When the rubber hammers 33 rotate below the horizontal plane, under the action of gravity, the movable rod 32 slides out from the inside of the rotating wheel 31 and strikes the interception net 27. The surface of the barrier net 27 is shaken, and the spring 28 at the bottom of the barrier net 27 enhances the shaking effect, shaking off the condensate water attached to its surface. This prevents the condensate water from adhering to the surface and reducing the interception effect on water vapor. The falling water droplets will hit the surface of the barrier plate 23, carrying away the condensate water on the surface of the barrier plate 23, and finally fall into the water collection pool 14. Since the movable rod 32 is movably installed between the rotating wheel 31 and the barrier net 27, after the rubber hammer 33 hits the barrier net 27, as the rotating wheel 31 rotates, the movable rod 32 returns to the inside of the rotating wheel 31, so that the rubber hammer 33 does not affect the rotation of the rotating wheel 31.
