Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cooling tower accessories, specifically to a noise-reducing composite air duct structure for cooling towers. Background Technology
[0002] The composite duct structure of a cooling tower is a duct structure composed of different materials (such as fiberglass and metal, concrete, etc.) that improves airflow efficiency, enhances mechanical properties and durability through optimized structural design.
[0003] When existing cooling tower composite ducts are in use, the high-speed operation of the fan generates strong aerodynamic noise. At the same time, the impact of the water flow inside the cooling tower and the operation of the circulating water pump also generate noise. These noises are superimposed, forming a significant noise pollution that seriously interferes with the normal life and work order of residents. Moreover, since cooling towers are usually installed outdoors, dust, particulate matter, and other impurities in the surrounding air can easily enter the interior of the duct at the air outlet when it is not in operation. They not only adhere to the inner wall of the duct, but more seriously, they can enter the internal noise reduction components, such as sound-absorbing cotton and sound-absorbing panels. Dust covering the surface of the noise reduction components can block the pores of the sound-absorbing materials, reduce their sound absorption effect, and prevent the noise reduction components from functioning effectively, thus causing a significant decrease in the overall noise reduction capability of the cooling tower. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the current noise reduction composite air duct structure of a cooling tower, this utility model is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a noise-reducing composite air duct structure for cooling towers, which solves the problems of noise pollution caused by the noise generated during the operation of existing composite air ducts for cooling towers, and the problem that dust can easily enter the air duct and block the pores of the noise reduction components, thus reducing the sound absorption effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A noise-reducing composite duct structure for cooling towers includes a duct body, the duct body including a duct base, the inner side wall of the top of the duct base having a threaded mounting port and a noise-reducing duct middle section threadedly connected thereto, the top of the noise-reducing duct middle section having a snap-fit mounting port and a duct top cover snap-fitted thereto, a limiting annular plate fixedly connected to the duct wall of the noise-reducing duct middle section, a dustproof filter cover sleeved on the outer wall of the duct top cover, and a limiting mechanism provided between the dustproof filter cover and the limiting annular plate;

Positioning bolts are fixedly connected to the bottom four sides of the dust filter cover, and positioning ports are opened on the top four sides of the limiting annular plate. Each positioning bolt passes through the corresponding positioning port and is threadedly connected to a limiting nut.
[0010] Preferably, the installation mechanism includes a limiting rod, a limiting plate, a threaded limiting port, and a limiting bolt.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] This utility model discloses a noise-reducing composite air duct structure for cooling towers.
[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The cooling tower noise reduction composite duct structure shown includes a duct body 1, a duct base 2, a threaded mounting port 3 on the inner side wall of the top of the duct base 2, and a noise reduction duct middle section 4 threadedly connected thereto. A snap-fit mounting port 5 is provided on the top of the noise reduction duct middle section 4, and a duct top cover 6 is snap-fitted thereto. A limiting annular plate 7 is fixedly connected to the duct wall of the noise reduction duct middle section 4. A dustproof filter cover 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the duct top cover 6. A limiting mechanism is provided between the dustproof filter cover 8 and the limiting annular plate 7.
[0027] The top of the wall of the middle section 4 of the noise reduction cylinder has an air outlet 9, and multiple support plates 10 are fixedly connected to it. The bottom of the top cover 6 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped flow guide buffer plate 11. The bottom of the arc-shaped flow guide buffer plate 11 is fixedly connected to an airflow noise reduction plate 12 through an installation mechanism. The cavity of the top cover 6 is filled with a polyurethane foam layer 13. The top of the top cover 6 has an arc-shaped surface, and the two ends are fixedly connected to lifting lugs 14. The split structure of the cylinder base 2, the middle section 4 of the noise reduction cylinder, and the top cover 6 is used, and they are connected by threaded mounting ports 3 and snap-fit mounting ports 5, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the air duct body 1 and the maintenance and replacement of the noise reduction components inside the air duct. The limiting ring plate 7 and the limiting mechanism can stably fix the dust filter cover 8, ensuring that it will not easily fall off during use and protecting the dust filter. The dust absorption effect is achieved through the design of the air outlet 9 and the support plate 10, which facilitates smooth air discharge. The support plate 10 provides support for the top cover 6, enhancing structural stability. The arc-shaped flow guide buffer plate 11 guides and buffers the airflow, reducing noise generated by airflow impact. The airflow noise reduction plate 12 further reduces airflow noise. The polyurethane foam filling layer 13 has good sound absorption properties, effectively absorbing noise. The arc-shaped design of the top of the top cover 6 guides dust to slide to both sides, reducing dust accumulation. The lifting lugs 14 facilitate the hoisting and transportation of the air duct. This solves the problems of noise pollution caused by the operation of existing composite cooling tower air ducts, and the easy entry of dust into the air duct, which clogs the pores of the noise reduction components and reduces the sound absorption effect.
[0028] To limit the installation of the dust filter cover 8 and facilitate its disassembly, such as Figure 2As shown, the limiting mechanism includes positioning bolts 15, positioning ports 16, and limiting nuts 17. Positioning bolts 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom four sides of the dust filter cover 8, and positioning ports 16 are opened on the top four sides of the limiting ring plate 7. Each positioning bolt 15 passes through the corresponding positioning port 16 and is threadedly connected to the limiting nut 17. By using the limiting mechanism composed of positioning bolts 15, positioning ports 16, and limiting nuts 17, the dust filter cover 8 and the limiting ring plate 7 can be firmly connected. The installation and disassembly operations are simple, and it is convenient to clean or replace the dust filter cover 8 to ensure its continuous and effective dustproof function.
[0029] To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the arc-shaped flow guide buffer plate 11, such as Figure 2 As shown, the installation mechanism includes a limiting rod 18, a limiting plate 19, a threaded limiting port 20, and a limiting bolt 21. The bottom of the arc-shaped flow guide buffer plate 11 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 18. One end of the limiting rod 18 passes through the airflow noise reduction plate 12 and is inserted into the limiting plate 19. The side walls of the limiting plate 19 and the limiting rod 18 are provided with corresponding threaded limiting ports 20, and the threaded limiting bolts 21 are connected. The installation mechanism allows the airflow noise reduction plate 12 to be stably installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped flow guide buffer plate 11. The combination of the limiting rod 18, the limiting plate 19, the threaded limiting port 20, and the limiting bolts 21 ensures the reliability of the connection and facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the airflow noise reduction plate 12, ensuring the stability of its noise reduction performance.
[0030] For stable support and shock absorption, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the cylinder base 2 includes a high-strength annular base 22, and a shock-absorbing rubber ring pad 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the high-strength annular base 22. The high-strength annular base 22 provides a stable support foundation, and the shock-absorbing rubber ring pad 23 can effectively absorb the vibration generated during the operation of the cooling tower, reduce the noise generated by vibration transmission, and further improve the noise reduction effect.
[0031] To improve the noise reduction capability of the middle section 4 of the noise reduction cylinder, such as Figure 2 As shown, the middle section 4 of the noise reduction cylinder includes a high-strength FRP outer layer 24, a honeycomb noise reduction pad 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the high-strength FRP outer layer 24, and a perforated metal plate layer 26 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the honeycomb noise reduction pad 25. The high-strength FRP outer layer 24 ensures the structural strength and durability of the middle section 4 of the noise reduction cylinder. The unique honeycomb structure of the honeycomb noise reduction pad 25 can effectively absorb and block noise. The perforated metal plate layer 26 reflects and absorbs sound through its pores. Together with the honeycomb noise reduction pad 25, they significantly improve the noise reduction capability of the middle section 4 of the noise reduction cylinder.
[0032] To achieve dust prevention and noise reduction, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the dust filter cover 8 is an annular cover plate, and a dust filter screen 27 is fixedly connected to the side wall through an opening. The airflow noise reduction plate 12 is an annular plate, and an annular micro-perforated noise reduction plate 28 is fixedly connected to the top surface through an opening. The dust filter cover 8, composed of the annular cover plate and the dust filter screen 27, can block dust, particulate matter and other impurities from entering the air duct in all directions, protecting the internal noise reduction components. The micro-perforated structure of the annular micro-perforated noise reduction plate 28 can effectively reduce airflow noise, further enhancing the noise reduction effect of the airflow noise reduction plate 12.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
