Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cooling towers, specifically to a water tower packing cleaning device and a cooling tower having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling towers, widely used heat exchange devices in industrial production, play a vital role in circulating water cooling and energy conservation. The packing material is a key functional component of the cooling tower, primarily used to disperse water flow into thin films or fine droplets, increasing the contact area and time between water and air, thereby improving evaporative heat dissipation efficiency and achieving the goal of lowering water temperature.

[0003] Common packing types include honeycomb packing and corrugated packing. However, in actual operation, cooling towers are constantly exposed to high temperature and high humidity, making them highly susceptible to the growth of algae and other microbial contaminants. Simultaneously, silt, suspended solids, and inorganic salts such as calcium carbonate in the water gradually deposit and adhere to the packing surface as the circulating water circulates, forming a difficult-to-remove scale layer. These factors not only reduce the heat exchange efficiency of the packing but can also cause localized blockages, affecting airflow distribution and further weakening the cooling effect.

[0004] More importantly, most existing cooling towers use a fixed installation structure for their packing material. Whether it's an open or closed cooling tower, the internal packing scrapers are fixed, making easy disassembly or automatic cleaning impossible. Therefore, cleaning the packing material requires shutting down the cooling tower and then manually using a high-pressure water gun to repeatedly rinse, dry, knock, and rinse again—a series of tedious procedures—to remove the impurities adhering to the packing material. Finally, the cleaned impurities must be discharged from the tower before the cooling tower can be restored to normal operation.

[0005] The above cleaning methods have the following obvious drawbacks:

[0006] 1. Requires machine downtime, affecting production continuity: Each cleaning requires machine downtime, causing system interruption and directly affecting the company's normal production schedule;

[0007] 2. High maintenance frequency and high operation and maintenance costs: Because the packing is prone to clogging and difficult to clean, it requires regular shutdown for maintenance, which significantly increases the operation and management costs.

[0008] Therefore, existing technologies still need further development. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a water tower packing cleaning device and a cooling tower having the same, so as to solve the technical problem that the open cooling tower needs to be shut down when the packing needs to be cleaned.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention: a water tower packing cleaning device is provided, comprising: at least two movable components, each movable component being spaced apart on the cooling tower shell along the height direction of the cooling tower, and each movable component being movably arranged along a first preset direction; the moving direction of each movable component being perpendicular to the height direction of the cooling tower; each movable component being used to install packing components, so as to drive the corresponding packing components to move out of or into the cooling tower shell; and a cleaning component, at least a portion of which is disposed on each movable component, the cleaning component being used to clean the packing components on each movable component.

[0011] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes at least two vibrating elements, each vibrating element being configured in a one-to-one correspondence with each moving component, and each vibrating element being used to drive the packing assembly on the corresponding moving component to vibrate.

[0012] Furthermore, the moving component includes: a first sliding arm and a second sliding arm, the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm extending along a first preset direction, and both the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm passing through the cooling tower shell; the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm being spaced apart along a second preset direction; and a packing assembly being connected to the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm respectively, and the packing assembly being located between the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm.

[0013] Furthermore, the movable component also includes: a support rod extending along a second preset direction and connected to a first sliding arm and a second sliding arm respectively; and a filler assembly mounted on the support rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the moving assembly also includes: a connecting plate located at one end of the first sliding arm near the clearance opening of the cooling tower shell, and the connecting plate being connected to the first sliding arm and the second sliding arm respectively; and a vibrating element mounted on the connecting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the moving assembly also includes: a first limiting member, which is installed on the end of the first sliding arm away from the connecting plate and is located on the outside of the cooling tower shell; and a second limiting member, which is installed on the end of the second sliding arm away from the connecting plate and is located on the outside of the cooling tower shell.

[0016] Furthermore, the water tower packing cleaning device also includes: at least two guide components, each guide component being configured in correspondence with each moving component, each guide component being installed on the cooling tower shell, each guide component being provided with at least one guide channel, the guide channel extending along a first preset direction, and at least a portion of the first sliding arm or at least a portion of the second sliding arm being movably disposed within the guide channel along the extending direction of the guide channel.

[0017] Furthermore, at least two sets of installation channels are provided on the cooling tower shell, and each set of installation channels is set in correspondence with each guide component. Each set of installation channels includes at least one installation channel, which extends along a first preset direction. The guide component includes a first fixed arm and a second fixed arm, both of which extend along the first preset direction and are vertically spaced within the installation channel. The first fixed arm and the second fixed arm form a guide channel.

[0018] Furthermore, the guide assembly also includes: a plurality of roller pairs spaced apart along the extension direction of the guide channel; wherein each roller pair includes two rollers, the two rollers are rotatably mounted on the first fixed arm and the second fixed arm respectively, and the two rollers are arranged opposite to each other, and the two rollers respectively make rolling contact with the first sliding arm or the second sliding arm.

[0019] According to another aspect of the present invention, a cooling tower is provided, comprising: a cooling tower shell, wherein the cooling tower shell has an opening for avoiding the packing assembly; and a water tower packing cleaning device, which is the aforementioned water tower packing cleaning device, wherein at least a portion of the water tower packing cleaning device is disposed on the cooling tower shell.

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, the water tower packing cleaning device provided by this utility model includes at least two moving components and a cleaning component. Each moving component is spaced apart on the cooling tower shell along the height direction of the cooling tower. Each moving component is movably arranged relative to the cooling tower shell along a first preset direction. There are at least two packing components, each corresponding to one of the moving components.

At least a portion of the cleaning component is disposed on each moving component, and the cleaning component is used to clean the packing components. Furthermore, when any packing component needs to be cleaned, the corresponding moving component moves the packing component to move it out of the cooling tower shell, and then the cleaning component cleans the packing component removed from the cooling tower shell.

[0022] Therefore, compared to the limitations of traditional cooling towers that require a complete shutdown for cleaning the packing material, this invention, by incorporating at least two moving components, achieves the goal of individually removing a specific packing component from the cooling tower shell for online cleaning while the cooling tower is continuously running. This allows the remaining packing components inside the cooling tower shell to continue participating in the heat exchange process, thus avoiding system interruptions caused by cleaning operations and significantly improving equipment operating efficiency and enterprise production stability. Furthermore, by moving the packing component from inside the cooling tower shell to the external space before cleaning, impurities, dirt, and rinsing wastewater generated during cleaning can be effectively prevented from entering the internal water circulation system of the cooling tower, thereby preventing water pollution and ensuring the cleanliness of the cooling water and the stability of system operation. Simultaneously, since at least part of the cleaning components are located on the moving components, cleaning the packing components removed from the cooling tower shell reduces tedious manual processes such as hammering and drying, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and reducing labor intensity and maintenance costs. Furthermore, by removing the packing assembly from the shell for centralized cleaning, contaminants such as algae, silt, and calcium carbonate deposits attached to its surface can be effectively removed, restoring the original heat exchange performance of the packing, improving cooling efficiency, and avoiding the problem of reduced cooling capacity due to packing blockage. This utility model's water tower packing cleaning device is simple to operate and effectively solves the technical problem in existing open cooling towers where cleaning of the packing requires shutdown.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a water tower packing cleaning device is provided, comprising: at least two moving components 1 and a cleaning component 2. Each moving component 1 is spaced apart on a cooling tower shell 100 along the height direction of the cooling tower, and each moving component 1 is movably arranged along a first preset direction; the moving direction of each moving component 1 is perpendicular to the height direction of the cooling tower; each moving component 1 is used to install a packing component 200, so that the corresponding packing component 200 can be moved out of or into the cooling tower shell 100 by the moving component 1; at least a portion of the cleaning component 2 is disposed on each moving component 1, and the cleaning component 2 is used to clean the packing component 200 on each moving component 1.

[0031] As can be seen, the water tower packing cleaning device provided by this utility model includes at least two moving components 1 and a cleaning component 2. Each moving component 1 is spaced apart on the cooling tower shell 100 along the height direction of the cooling tower. Each moving component 1 is movably arranged relative to the cooling tower shell 100 along a first preset direction. There are at least two packing components 200, each corresponding to one of the moving components 1. Each packing component 200 is mounted on a moving component 1, and by reciprocating along the first preset direction with the corresponding moving component 1, the packing component 200 is moved out of or into the cooling tower shell 100. At least a portion of the cleaning component 2 is disposed on each moving component 1, and the cleaning component 2 is used to clean the packing components 200. Furthermore, when any packing component 200 needs cleaning, the corresponding moving component 1 moves the packing component 200 to move it out of the cooling tower shell 100, and then the cleaning component 2 cleans the packing component 200 that has been moved out of the cooling tower shell 100.

[0032] Therefore, compared to the limitations of traditional cooling towers that require a complete shutdown for cleaning the packing material, this invention, by incorporating at least two moving components 1, achieves the goal of individually removing a specific packing component 200 from the cooling tower shell 100 for online cleaning while the cooling tower is continuously running. This allows the remaining packing components 200 within the cooling tower shell 100 to continue participating in the heat exchange process, thus avoiding system interruptions caused by cleaning operations and significantly improving equipment operating efficiency and enterprise production stability. Furthermore, by moving the packing component 200 from inside the cooling tower shell 100 to the external space before cleaning, impurities, dirt, and rinsing wastewater generated during cleaning can be effectively prevented from entering the internal water circulation system of the cooling tower, thereby preventing pollution of the water quality and ensuring the cleanliness of the cooling water and the stability of system operation. Simultaneously, since at least part of the cleaning component 2 is located on the moving component 1, cleaning the packing component 200 removed from the cooling tower shell 100 reduces tedious manual processes such as hammering and drying, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and reducing labor intensity and maintenance costs. Furthermore, by removing the packing assembly 200 from the shell for centralized cleaning, contaminants such as algae, silt, and calcium carbonate deposits attached to its surface can be effectively removed, restoring the original heat exchange performance of the packing, improving cooling efficiency, and avoiding the problem of reduced cooling capacity due to packing blockage. This utility model's water tower packing cleaning device is simple to operate and effectively solves the technical problem in existing open cooling towers where cleaning of the packing requires shutdown.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the cleaning component 2 includes at least two vibrating elements 21, each vibrating element 21 corresponding to a different moving component 1. Each vibrating element 21 is used to drive the packing assembly 200 on the corresponding moving component 1 to vibrate. This mechanical vibration removes impurities, dirt, algae, calcium carbonate deposits, and other contaminants adhering to the surface of the packing material.

[0034] With the above-described structure, the vibrating element 21 can be activated immediately after the packing assembly 200 is removed from the cooling tower shell 100. Through high-frequency vibration, impurities such as mud, algae, and calcium carbonate adhering to the surface of the packing material are quickly removed, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and reducing the time and water consumption required for subsequent rinsing or cleaning. The vibrating element 21 enables automatic vibration cleaning of the packing assembly 200, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation and intelligence level of the cleaning process.

[0035] The vibrating element 21 serves as a pretreatment method for other cleaning methods in the cleaning component 2. By initially shaking off large particles of contaminants, it helps subsequent cleaning modules to more thoroughly remove fine dirt, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect. Furthermore, the vibrating element 21 adopts a controllable frequency and amplitude design, which can achieve efficient cleaning without damaging the packing structure, avoiding the packing damage caused by traditional manual knocking, and thus extending the service life of the packing.

[0036] Optionally, the vibrating element 21 is a vibrating motor.

[0037] Furthermore, the cleaning component 2 also includes a high-pressure water gun (not shown), used to perform high-pressure water rinsing on the packing assembly 200 after the vibrating component 21 has completed the vibration cleaning of the packing assembly 200. Through the impact of the high-pressure water flow, residual fine impurities, stubborn dirt, and calcium carbonate deposits on the surface of the packing assembly 200 are further removed, achieving deep cleaning of the packing assembly 200.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the moving component 1 includes a first sliding arm 11 and a second sliding arm 12, which extend along a first preset direction and are both mounted on the cooling tower shell 100 to achieve reciprocating movement relative to the cooling tower shell 100. The first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 are spaced apart along a second preset direction. A packing assembly 200 is connected to the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 respectively, and is located between the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12. A preset angle of 90 degrees is formed between the first preset direction and the second preset direction, and the second preset direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the cooling tower.

[0039] With the above-described structural configuration, the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 are spatially spaced apart, jointly supporting the packing assembly 200 to form a double-point support structure. Compared to a single sliding arm or cantilever support, this structure has a stronger load-bearing capacity and is less prone to deflection or swaying during operation, ensuring the stability and safety of the packing assembly 200 during movement. Since the packing assembly 200 is located between the two sliding arms, after being removed from the cooling tower shell 100, the cleaning components 2 (such as the vibrating element 21, high-pressure water gun, etc.) can easily perform multi-directional cleaning of the packing assembly 200, avoiding cleaning dead spots and improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 extend along a first preset direction and interlock with the cooling tower shell 100, effectively reducing frictional resistance during movement and making the packing assembly 200 move more smoothly in and out of the shell, thus improving the overall system's response speed and automation level.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the moving component 1 also includes a support rod 13, which extends along a second preset direction and is connected to the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 respectively; the packing assembly 200 is mounted on the support rod 13. The support rod 13 is located between the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12. With this structural arrangement, the support rod 13, as the main load-bearing component of the packing assembly 200, is fixedly positioned between the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12, which can effectively distribute the weight load of the packing assembly 200, avoid structural deformation or displacement caused by single-point force, and significantly improve the stability and safety of the packing assembly during movement and cleaning. This structure makes full use of the internal space between the sliding arms, rationally embedding the support rod 13 within it, which not only enhances the compactness of the overall structure but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement, while not affecting the normal distribution of airflow and water flow inside the cooling tower.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the packing assembly 200 includes a plurality of packing clips 201, which are sequentially sleeved on the support rod 13 along the extension direction of the support rod 13, and each packing clip 201 is fixedly disposed relative to the support rod 13.

[0042] Optionally, there may be at least one support rod 13.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the moving assembly 1 also includes: a connecting plate 14, located at the end of the first sliding arm 11 near the clearance opening of the cooling tower shell 100, and connected to the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 respectively; a vibrating element 21 is mounted on the connecting plate 14. With this structural arrangement, by mounting the vibrating element 21 on the rigid structure formed by the connecting plate 14, it can maintain synchronous movement with the moving assembly 1, ensuring that the vibrating element 21 can immediately perform vibration cleaning operation on the packing assembly 200 after it is moved out of the cooling tower shell 100, thus improving the transmission efficiency of vibration energy and the cleaning response speed. Furthermore, positioning the connecting plate 14 at the end of the first sliding arm 11 near the clearance opening does not affect the entry and exit path of the packing assembly 200 and facilitates the maintenance and installation of the vibrating element 21.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the moving assembly 1 further includes: a first limiting member 15 and a second limiting member 16. The first limiting member 15 is installed on the end of the first sliding arm 11 away from the connecting plate 14 and is located on the outside of the cooling tower shell 100. The second limiting member 16 is installed on the end of the second sliding arm 12 away from the connecting plate 14 and is located on the outside of the cooling tower shell 100.

[0045] By employing the above-described structure and incorporating the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16, the extreme positions of the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 can be physically limited during the movement of the packing assembly 200 out of or into the cooling tower shell 100. This limiting structure effectively prevents excessive displacement of the sliding arms due to drive failure or inertia, thereby ensuring the operational stability and repeatability of the packing assembly 200 during movement. Simultaneously, the first limiting member 15 and the second limiting member 16 also restrict the axial movement range of the sliding arms, preventing the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12 from accidentally detaching from the cooling tower shell 100 during operation, further enhancing the structural stability and connection reliability of the entire moving assembly 1 during operation.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water tower packing cleaning device also includes: at least two guide components 3, each guide component 3 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each moving component 1, each guide component 3 is installed on the cooling tower shell 100, each guide component 3 is provided with at least one guide channel 30, the guide channel 30 extends along a first preset direction, and at least a portion of the first sliding arm 11 or at least a portion of the second sliding arm 12 is movably arranged in the guide channel 30 along the extension direction of the guide channel 30.

[0047] With the above-described structure, the guide channel 30 provides a clear movement path for the first sliding arm 11 or the second sliding arm 12, ensuring good guidance and straightness when moving along the first preset direction, avoiding deviation, jamming, or shaking, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the entire moving assembly 1. Since at least a portion of the first sliding arm 11 or at least a portion of the second sliding arm 12 is located within the guide channel 30, it is supported and protected by the guide structure during movement, helping to reduce bending deformation of the sliding arm due to uneven force, improving its load-bearing capacity and structural strength, and extending its service life.

[0048] Furthermore, each guide component 3 is provided with two guide channels 30, which are spaced apart along a second preset direction; at least a portion of the first slide arm 11 and at least a portion of the second slide arm 12 are respectively located in the corresponding guide channels 30.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least two sets of installation channels are provided on the cooling tower shell 100. Each set of installation channels is corresponding to each guide component 3. Each set of installation channels includes at least one installation channel, which extends along a first preset direction. The guide component 3 includes a first fixed arm 31 and a second fixed arm 32. Both the first fixed arm 31 and the second fixed arm 32 extend along the first preset direction, and the first fixed arm 31 and the second fixed arm 32 are arranged vertically at intervals in the installation channel. The first fixed arm 31 and the second fixed arm 32 form a guide channel 30.

[0050] With the above-described structure, the guide channel 30 formed by the first fixed arm 31 and the second fixed arm 32 provides a precise guide path for the first sliding arm 11 and the second sliding arm 12, ensuring that they maintain linear movement during movement and avoiding deviation or jamming. This improves the stability and repeatability of the packing assembly 200 when entering and exiting the cooling tower shell 100. The first fixed arm 31 and the second fixed arm 32 of the guide assembly 3 are spaced apart vertically and installed in the installation channel of the cooling tower shell 100, forming a robust support frame. This structure not only enhances the mechanical strength of the overall device but also improves the load-bearing capacity of the moving assembly 1, reduces the risk of deformation during long-term use, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0051] Furthermore, each set of installation channels has two installation channels, and each guide component 3 has two guide channels 30, with each installation channel corresponding to each guide channel 30. Each installation channel is provided with a first fixing arm 31 and a second fixing arm 32.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the guide assembly 3 further includes: a plurality of roller pairs spaced apart along the extension direction of the guide channel 30; wherein each roller pair includes two rollers 33, the two rollers 33 are rotatably mounted on the first fixed arm 31 and the second fixed arm 32 respectively, and the two rollers 33 are arranged opposite to each other, and the two rollers 33 respectively roll in contact with the first sliding arm 11 or the second sliding arm 12.

[0053] By adopting the above-described structural configuration, the rolling wheel 33 makes rolling contact with the first sliding arm 11 or the second sliding arm 12, converting sliding friction into rolling friction. This significantly reduces the coefficient of friction during movement, making the sliding arm run more smoothly and respond more quickly. The rolling wheels are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the sliding arm, effectively limiting and supporting it during sliding, preventing the sliding arm from shifting, jamming, or wobbling during movement. This further improves the guiding accuracy and operational stability of the packing assembly 200 when entering and exiting the cooling tower shell 100. Furthermore, since the rolling wheel 33 makes rolling contact with the sliding arm rather than sliding friction, it greatly reduces mechanical wear between the guide structure and the sliding arm, helping to extend the service life of the guide assembly and the sliding arm structure, and reducing equipment maintenance frequency.

[0054] Optionally, the roller 33 is made of polyurethane (PU), i.e., a PU roller. Due to the good elasticity and cushioning properties of PU material, the roller 33 not only achieves low-friction rolling guidance, but also has a certain shock absorption and vibration reduction function.

[0055] Optionally, the cleaning process of the water tower packing cleaning device is as follows:

[0056] When a certain packing assembly 200 needs to be cleaned, the staff moves the corresponding moving component 1 on the cooling tower shell 100, causing it to move the packing assembly 200 along the first preset direction toward the clearance opening of the cooling tower shell 100, until the packing assembly 200 is completely moved out of the outside of the cooling tower shell 100.

[0057] After the packing assembly 200 is removed, the vibration motor starts and transmits the vibration to the packing assembly 200 through the moving component 1. The mechanical vibration effectively shakes off pollutants such as algae, silt, and calcium carbonate deposits attached to its surface, achieving initial cleaning.

[0058] After the vibration cleaning is completed, the vibration motor stops working, and then a high-pressure water gun is used to rinse the packing assembly 200 to thoroughly remove residual dirt. After rinsing, the packing assembly 200 can be air-dried naturally or dried with the help of an auxiliary drying device.

[0059] After the packing assembly 200 has been cleaned and dried, the driving component 1 is reversed to move it back into the cooling tower shell 100 and return it to its normal working position. Subsequently, other uncleaned packing assemblies 200 can be removed in sequence, and the above cleaning steps can be repeated to achieve segmented online cleaning of all packing assemblies 200.

[0060] This utility model provides a cooling tower, including: a cooling tower shell 100 and a water tower packing cleaning device. The cooling tower shell 100 is provided with a clearance opening for avoiding the packing assembly 200. The water tower packing cleaning device is the water tower packing cleaning device of the above embodiment, and at least part of the water tower packing cleaning device is provided on the cooling tower shell 100.

[0061] The cooling tower is an open-type cooling tower.
