[0034] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 This invention describes the washing tower device provided by this utility model.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the washing tower device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a tower body 100 and a spray module 200.

[0036] A washing space 110 is formed inside the tower body 100. The tower body 100 is provided with a clearance structure 120, which is connected to the washing space 110. The spray module 200 includes at least one spray assembly 210. The spray assembly 210 includes a main spray pipe 211, a plurality of first spray branches 212 and a plurality of second spray branches 213. The first spray branches 212 are connected to the main spray pipe 211. At least one second spray branch 213 is provided on the first spray branch 212. A first nozzle (not shown in the figure) is provided on the second spray branch 213.

[0037] The main spray pipe 211 and the first spray branch pipe 212 are both located outside the tower body 100 and are detachably connected to the tower body 100. The second spray branch pipe 213 passes through the relief structure 120, and the part of the second spray branch pipe 213 with the first nozzle is located inside the washing space 110.

[0038] The washing tower device provided by this utility model, by setting the spray assembly 210 to include a spray main pipe 211, a plurality of first spray branch pipes 212 and a plurality of second spray branch pipes 213, and setting the spray main pipe 211 and the first spray branch pipes 212 outside the tower body 100 and detachably connected to the tower body 100, and setting the second spray branch pipes 213 equipped with first nozzles inside the tower body 100 through a clearance structure 120, when the nozzles need to be cleaned, the second spray branch pipes 213 can be taken out from the tower body 100 and the nozzles set on them can be cleaned without the need for operators to enter the tower body 100, which can effectively solve the defects of complicated operation and safety hazards when personnel enter the tower body 100 for cleaning.

[0039] Specifically, the scrubbing tower device includes a tower body 100 and a spray module 200.

[0040] The tower body 100 contains a washing space 110, which provides the necessary spatial structure for gas purification. The washing space 110 typically contains various packing materials to meet washing requirements. The tower body 100 is equipped with a clearance structure 120, which allows the second spray branch pipe 213 to pass through and enter the washing space 110. The clearance structure 120 can be located on the side wall or top wall of the tower body 100, without special limitation. It is understood that the size of the clearance structure 120 is sufficient for the second spray branch pipe 213, which has a first nozzle, to smoothly enter and exit. The clearance structure 120 can be a clearance opening, a clearance groove, or other openwork structure, without special limitation.

[0041] The spray module 200 includes at least one spray assembly 210. The spray assembly 210 includes a spray main pipe 211, a first spray branch pipe 212, and a second spray branch pipe 213 connected in sequence. The spray main pipe 211 is used to connect to a liquid source and is responsible for introducing liquid (such as water or chemical solution) into the spray module 200. The first spray branch pipe 212 and the second spray branch pipe 213 are used to introduce liquid into the washing space 110 and perform washing operations through the nozzles located on the second spray branch pipe 213.

[0042] The number of spray components 210 in the spray module 200 is at least one. The number of spray components 210 can be flexibly adjusted according to the design requirements of the scrubbing tower, the flow rate of the gas to be processed, and the requirements of the scrubbing effect.

[0043] As an example, in this embodiment, the spray module 200 includes three spray components 210, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the tower body 100 (i.e., the second direction described below), and are in sequence an oxidation spray component 210, an alkaline washing spray component 210, and a water spray component 210.

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the clearance structure 120 is disposed on the top wall of the tower body 100.

[0045] By placing the relief structure 120 on the top wall of the tower body 100, it is convenient to support and arrange the main spray pipe 211, the first spray branch pipe 212 and the second spray branch pipe 213, and can effectively prevent the fluid in the tower body 100 from leaking out through the relief structure 120.

[0046] When the first nozzle needs to be cleaned, the operator can use a ladder or other tools to climb to the top of the tower 100 and remove the main spray pipe 211, the first spray branch pipe 212 and the second spray branch pipe 213 (or at least remove the second spray branch pipe 213) to clean the first nozzle on the second spray branch pipe 213.

[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the clearance structure 120 includes a plurality of clearance openings spaced apart along a first direction, each clearance opening being provided with at least one second spray branch pipe 213, and the first spray branch pipe 212 contacting the top wall of the tower body 100.

[0048] By setting the clearance structure 120 to include a plurality of clearance openings spaced apart along the first direction, and by making the first spray branch pipe 212 contact the top wall of the tower body 100, the clearance openings can be used to make way for the second spray branch pipe 213, allowing it to smoothly enter and exit the tower body 100. At the same time, the top wall portion of the tower body 100 between adjacent clearance openings can be used to support the first spray branch pipe 212, without the need to set up other support structures.

[0049] It should be noted that the first direction mentioned above can be referred to Figure 1 The direction of the arrow shown can be interpreted as the width direction of the tower body 100.

[0050] As an example, in the spray assembly 210 of this embodiment, there are four second spray branch pipes 213, and the number of clearance openings in the clearance structure 120 is three. The clearance openings at both ends are smaller and are used to accommodate a single second spray branch pipe 213 entering the tower body 100. The clearance opening in the middle is larger and is used to accommodate two second spray branch pipes 213 entering the tower body 100. The part of the tower body 100 between the clearance openings can be used to support the first spray branch pipe 212.

[0051] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the spray assembly 210 further includes a first tee connector 214 and a second tee connector 215; the first spray branch pipe 212 is connected to the main spray pipe 211 through the first tee connector, and the second spray branch pipe 213 is connected to the first spray branch pipe 212 through the second tee connector 215.

[0052] By setting a first tee connector 214 and a second tee connector 215, the first tee connector 214 can be used to form a detachable connection between the spray main pipe 211 and the first spray branch pipe 212, and the second tee connector 215 can be used to form a detachable connection between the first spray branch pipe 212 and the second spray branch pipe 213. When it is necessary to clean the first nozzle on the second spray branch pipe 213, it is only necessary to remove the second spray branch pipe 213 from the first spray branch pipe 212, and then remove the second spray branch pipe 213 separately from the tower body 100. It is not necessary to remove the second spray branch pipe 213 together with the first spray branch pipe 212 and the spray main pipe 211, which further simplifies the cleaning operation of the first nozzle.

[0053] Specifically, both the first tee connector 214 and the third tee connector can be connected to the main spray pipe 211, the first spray branch pipe 212 and the second spray branch pipe 213 by threaded connection. The structure is simple and easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0054] See Figures 1 to 3As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the spray tower device further includes a sealing cover 300, which covers the relief structure 120 and is detachably connected to the tower body 100.

[0055] By setting the sealing cover 300, the clearance structure 120 can be sealed to prevent gas inside the tower body 100 from escaping to the outside environment. When the first nozzle on the second spray branch pipe 213 needs to be cleaned, the sealing cover 300 can be removed from the tower body 100 first, and then the second spray branch pipe 213 can be taken out.

[0056] As an example, the sealing cover 300 and the tower body 100 can be fixed by means of auxiliary connection such as threaded connectors.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a sealing gasket is provided between the sealing cover 300 and the tower body 100. (Not shown in the figure)

[0058] By setting a sealing gasket between the sealing cover 300 and the tower body 100, the gap between the sealing cover 300 and the tower body 100 can be sealed by the compression deformation of the sealing gasket, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0059] Gaskets can be made of materials with stable physical and chemical properties and strong weather resistance, such as fluororubber (FKM), silicone rubber (VMQ), or butyl rubber (IIR).

[0060] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the sidewall of the tower body 100 is provided with a plurality of sight glasses 400 at intervals along the second direction for observing the interior of the tower body 100; at least one spray assembly 210 is a water washing spray assembly, which also includes a sight glass cleaning pipe 216 and a plurality of second nozzle groups 217 corresponding one-to-one with the sight glasses 400. The sight glass cleaning pipe 216 is connected to the spray main pipe 211, and the second nozzle groups 217 are spaced apart from the sight glass cleaning pipe 216. Each second nozzle group 217 includes at least one second nozzle facing the sight glass 400.

[0061] By setting up a sight glass 400, the inside of the tower body 100 can be observed. Since the inner wall of the sight glass 400 is easily covered by dirt, it cannot perform its observation function normally. By setting up a sight glass cleaning pipe 216 and multiple second nozzle groups 217 corresponding to the sight glass 400, the second nozzle groups 217 can be used to automatically clean each sight glass 400, without the need for manual entry into the tower body 100 to clean the sight glass 400.

[0062] In each second nozzle group 217, the number of second nozzles can be the same or different, and there is no special restriction on this.

[0063] See Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a solenoid valve 218 can be installed upstream of the sight glass cleaning pipe 216 to control the periodic connection of the sight glass cleaning pipe 216, so as to achieve periodic cleaning of the sight glass 400.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least a portion of the second nozzle group 217 includes a plurality of second nozzles, which are spaced apart from each other in the sight glass cleaning tube 216.

[0065] By providing multiple second nozzles in at least a portion of the second nozzle group 217, the corresponding sight glasses 400 can be cleaned simultaneously using multiple second nozzles, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency. For example, some sight glasses 400 serve as main sight glasses 400, which have a larger area, and can be cleaned by multiple second nozzles; while some sight glasses 400 serve as auxiliary sight glasses 400, which have a relatively smaller area, and can be cleaned by only a single second nozzle.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least some of the second nozzles in each second nozzle group 217 have different spraying directions.

[0067] By setting at least some of the second nozzles in each second nozzle group 217 to spray in different directions, different areas of the sight glass 400 can be cleaned using different second nozzles, thereby further improving the cleaning effect and efficiency of the sight glass 400.

[0068] For example, the second nozzle group 217 includes two second nozzles, both of which are positioned facing the sight glass 400. One of the second nozzles is tilted upwards to clean the upper part of the sight glass 400, and the other second nozzle is tilted downwards to clean the lower part of the sight glass 400.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
