Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tower base technology, and in particular to a shock-absorbing and buffering base for installing cooling water towers. Background Technology
[0002] As the core heat dissipation device in industrial circulating water systems, the installation stability of cooling towers directly affects equipment operating efficiency and service life. Due to the large weight of the cooling tower itself (typically tens of tons), the combined effects of continuous internal water flow impact and external environmental vibration, specialized shock-absorbing bases have become standard equipment in the industry. Current mainstream solutions employ a combination of steel structure frames and rubber shock-absorbing pads, secured with bolts. Some high-end products integrate spring components to enhance dynamic load-bearing capacity. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations on noise control for industrial equipment, the market demand for intelligent shock-absorbing bases with multi-dimensional vibration compensation functions continues to grow.
[0003] However, existing technologies suffer from drawbacks. Traditional welded frames lack the triangular stabilizing structure of reinforcing frames and connecting plates, making them prone to metal fatigue cracks under long-term vibration. Data from a third-party testing agency shows that such structures experience an average strength degradation of over 20% every 3 years. Buffer pressure adjustment relies on replacing the entire spring assembly, making precise graded adjustment impossible through modular combinations of torsion springs and fixing screws, extending equipment commissioning cycles by over 40%. Safety design is inadequate; the lack of anti-slip pads on the ladder results in an accident rate 1.8 times the industry average in slippery conditions, and the open structure increases the risk of falls for maintenance personnel. The cylinder structure has poor sealing; traditional single-layer cylinders develop thermal expansion and contraction gaps exceeding 0.3mm when temperature differences exceed 50℃, severely affecting vibration damping continuity. Therefore, we provide a vibration damping and buffer base for cooling tower installation. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The bottom of the base plate 32 is welded to the embedded mounting groove 22. One end of the torsion spring 33 is welded to the base plate 32. One end of the fixing screw 34 is welded to the end of the torsion spring 33 away from the base plate 32. One end of the outer sleeve 35 is welded to the base plate 32. The outer surface of the inner sleeve 36 is nested in the outer sleeve 35. One end of the inner sleeve 36 is welded to the bottom of the adjusting plate 37. The bottom of the fixing nut 38 is welded to the adjusting plate 37. The inner surface of the fixing nut 38 is threaded and engaged with the outer surface of the fixing screw 34.
[0032] One end of the support frame 11 is welded to the bottom of the mounting base 21, and both ends of the reinforcing frame 12 are welded between the two support frames 11.
[0033] The two sides of the connecting plate 13 are welded between the support frame 11 and the reinforcing frame 12 respectively. One side of the ladder 14 rests against the mounting base 21. One end of the square tube 15 and the support rod 16 are both connected to the bottom of the mounting base 21.
[0034] The bottom of the guardrail 23 is welded to the mounting base 21, and the bottom of the anti-slip pad 24 is bonded to the guardrail 23.
[0035] In this embodiment, when installing the water tower base, the worker can weld both ends of the reinforcing frame 12 between the two support frames 11, and weld both sides of the connecting plate 13 to the reinforcing frame 12 and the support frame 11 respectively. Then, one end of the support frame 11 is welded to the bottom of the mounting base 21, and the ladder 14 is placed against the mounting base 21. Finally, one end of the square tube 15 and the support rod 16 are joined to the bottom of the mounting base 21, and the bottom of the protective railing 23 is welded and installed onto the mounting base 21. The anti-slip pad 24 is glued to the guardrail 23 to make it safer for workers to support the guardrail 23. The embedded mounting groove 22 on the mounting base 21 is welded into the base plate 32. The torsion spring 33 and fixing screw 34 on the base plate 32 make it easier to adjust the buffer pressure during actual use.

Then the cover tube 31 is put on to install the water tower.
[0036] Working principle:
[0037] like Figure 1-4As shown, when workers use this water tower base for installation, they first need to weld both ends of the reinforcing frame 12 between the two support frames 11 to form a sturdy frame structure. Next, workers weld both sides of the connecting plate 13 to the reinforcing frame 12 and the support frames 11 to ensure the stability of the entire structure. Then, workers weld one end of the support frame 11 to the bottom of the mounting base 21 and place the ladder 14 against the mounting base 21 to ensure that the ladder 14 can stably support the water tower installation operation.
[0038] During this process, workers also need to connect one end of the square tube 15 and the support rod 16 to the bottom of the mounting base 21 to ensure that the overall structure of the support frame 11 is more robust. To improve safety, the bottom of the guardrail 23 is welded to the mounting base 21, while the anti-slip pad 24 is adhered to the surface of the guardrail 23, ensuring that workers can easily support the guardrail 23 during installation and avoid accidental slippage.
[0039] The mounting base 21 is designed with an embedded mounting groove 22, into which workers can weld the base plate 32 to further enhance the structural stability of the base. On the base plate 32, workers can install torsion springs 33 and fixing screws 34, which allows for easy adjustment of the buffer pressure, ensuring that the water tower is not subjected to excessive impact or pressure during installation, thus enhancing safety and comfort during use.
[0040] The workers installed the adjusting disc 37 with the fixing nut 38 onto the fixing screw 34, ensuring that the outer surface of the inner sleeve 36 fits smoothly into the outer sleeve 35. To complete the installation, the workers installed the cover sleeve 31 onto the top of the entire device, ensuring that all components were perfectly aligned. Thus, the installation of the water tower was completed. The entire structure is stable and reliable, capable of supporting the weight of the water tower while ensuring the safety of the workers during operation.
