Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power plant cooling tower technology, and in particular to a power plant cooling tower spraying device. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the main pieces of equipment in the cold-end system of a power plant, the cooling tower's cooling efficiency directly affects the condenser vacuum, and thus the circulating thermal efficiency of the thermal power unit. When the circulating water that needs to be cooled is sent to the cooling tower, it is then transported to various spray devices by the water distribution pipe. The spray devices evenly spray the water onto the packing material to achieve cooling. The existing high-efficiency spray devices' spray disc components are rotatably connected to the connecting pipe through bearings or slides. The bearings or slides rely on their supporting force to resist the impact of the water, which will aggravate the wear of the bearings or slides and is not conducive to the long-term use of the spray device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spraying device for power plant cooling towers, thereby solving the aforementioned problems in the prior art.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0005] A power plant cooling tower spraying device includes a connecting pipe and a spraying assembly rotatably connected to the connecting pipe. The connecting pipe has a first magnet at the water outlet end. A bearing is provided on the connecting pipe above the first magnet. A plurality of sliders are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the bearing. The spraying assembly includes a cylinder and a water distribution plate located below the cylinder and fixedly connected to the cylinder by a plurality of brackets. The cylinder has grooves corresponding to the plurality of sliders inside. A second magnet is provided at the bottom of the cylinder. The second magnet is located above the first magnet. The polarities of the first magnet and the second magnet are the same on opposite sides.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by using the repulsive force of magnets to provide upward support to the cylinder to resist the downward impact force of water, the axial force on the bearing can be effectively relieved. At the same time, it only provides guidance support in the radial direction, so the radial force on the bearing is small, which can effectively reduce the wear of the bearing and improve the service life of the bearing.
[0007] In addition, the external force on the bearing is smaller, that is, the friction force when the bearing moves is smaller. When water is sprayed onto the water distribution plate, the rotation speed of the water distribution plate will be further increased compared with the existing ordinary bearing structure, the centrifugal force will be greater, the water splash radius will be larger, and the spraying effect will be further improved.
[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0009] Furthermore, both the first and second magnets are circular.
[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the magnet, being in a ring shape, experiences more uniform force during rotation, which can effectively improve operational stability.
[0011] Furthermore, a first connecting sleeve is provided on the inner side of the first magnet, and the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve is provided with an internal thread. The corresponding position on the outer wall of the connecting pipe is provided with an external thread, and the first magnet is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe through the first connecting sleeve.
[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the outer wall of the first connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the first magnet, and the inner wall of the first connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe, which facilitates quick assembly and maintenance and can effectively reduce installation and adjustment costs.
[0013] Furthermore, the second magnet is fitted into the second connecting sleeve. The inner wall of the second connecting sleeve is provided with an internal thread above the second magnet, and the outer wall of the cylinder is provided with an external thread. The second magnet is threadedly connected to the cylinder through the second connecting sleeve.
[0014] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the inner wall of the second connecting sleeve is fixed to the outer side of the second magnet, and then connected to the cylinder by a thread. The assembly is easy, the installation is firm, and it is also convenient for later maintenance.
[0015] Furthermore, the water distribution plate is a conical rotating plate, with blades evenly distributed around its circumference.
[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the conical turntable can guide water to the blades and improve the splashing effect.
[0017] Furthermore, one end of several sets of brackets is fixedly connected to the blade, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second connecting sleeve.
[0018] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that this connection method facilitates assembly and subsequent maintenance.
[0019] Furthermore, a limiting ring is provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe above the cylinder.
[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the upper limit position of the shell is limited by the limiting ring and the lower limit position is limited by two magnets of the same polarity that repel each other, which can better ensure the stability of the structure.
