[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A water-saving packing structure for a counter-flow cooling tower includes a tower body 1. A drain pipe 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tower body 1. A horizontally extending installation groove 2 is provided in the middle of the tower body 1. Multi-stage slide rails 3 are symmetrically installed horizontally at the bottom of the installation groove 2. Mounting brackets 4 are provided on both sides of the tower body 1. The bottom of each mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the free end of the multi-stage slide rail 3 at the corresponding position. A handle 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of each set of mounting brackets 4 that is far apart from each other. A drawer 6 is provided inside each set of mounting brackets 4. A longitudinally extending groove 7 is provided on each set of mounting brackets 4. A matching sliding strip 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each set of drawers 6 at the corresponding position of the groove 7. Each set of sliding strips 8 is slidably connected to the groove 7 at the corresponding position. A grooved handle 9 is provided on the outer wall of the front end of each set of drawers 6.

[0024] Both sides of the outer wall at the front end of the tower body 1 are longitudinally threaded with screws 10. Rotating heads 11 are fixedly installed at the front ends of both sets of screws 10. Each set of mounting brackets 4 has a connecting hole 12 on the outer wall at the front end that matches the screws 10. The cross-section of each set of sliding grooves 7 and each set of sliding strips 8 is trapezoidal. A sealing gasket is fixedly installed at the connection between each set of mounting brackets 4 and the outer surface of the mounting through groove 2.

[0025] An annular water distribution pipe 13 is fixedly installed inside the tower body 1 at a position above the installation channel 2. A water inlet pipe 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rear end of the tower body 1. The front end of the water inlet pipe 15 is sealed to the annular water distribution pipe 13. Several sets of nozzles 14 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the annular water distribution pipe 13.

[0026] Inside the tower body 1, a bracket 16 is fixedly installed above the annular water distribution pipe 13, and a waterproof axial flow fan 17 is fixedly installed on the bracket 16.

[0027] When using this device, the operator can first connect a hot water source to the inlet pipe 15, allowing hot water to be delivered through the inlet pipe 15 to the annular water distribution pipe 13, and then sprayed out from the nozzle. Simultaneously, the waterproof axial flow fan 17 can be activated to ventilate the interior of the tower body 1. When the packing material is partially damaged or its performance deteriorates, requiring disassembly and replacement, the operator can first rotate the rotating head 11 to disengage the screw 10 from the connecting hole 12. Then, the operator can pull the handle 5 to remove the two sets of mounting brackets 4 from the tower body 1. Finally, the operator can pull the grooved handle... 9. Pull the placement drawer 6 out from inside the mounting frame 4. The above-mentioned configuration makes it easier for staff to replace the packing material. In addition, since there are two sets of mounting frames 4, the packing material can be designed to be placed in two or more pieces inside the placement drawer 6, which makes the installation and replacement of the packing material more convenient. At the same time, it can also replace damaged or degraded packing material more accurately, thereby reducing material waste to a certain extent. Finally, in this device, by designing the water distribution pipe as a ring water distribution pipe 13, the water distribution is more uniform, reducing the phenomenon of local water flow being too fast or too slow, thereby reducing the occurrence of water loss before sufficient heat exchange.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: a protective net 18 is fixedly installed at the top inside the tower body 1; rubber pads 19 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the tower body 1.

[0030] In this device, the protective net 18 effectively blocks external debris such as fallen leaves and garbage bags, reducing the likelihood of the filler being clogged by garbage and making the device more practical.
