[0002] A cooling tower is a device that uses the contact between air and water to release heat generated by industrial equipment, air conditioning systems, or heat exchange equipment into the atmosphere through evaporative cooling. When a cooling tower is in use, a water collection tray is required. The water collection tray is used to collect the cooling water flowing down from the inside of the cooling tower and is located at the bottom of the cooling tower.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a novel water collection tray for a cooling tower (authorization announcement number CN215725413U). This patented technology uses a filter screen, a pull-out mechanism, and a sliding mechanism to separate impurities from the water entering the collection tank. After long-term use, the filter screen can be pulled out for cleaning. The accumulated impurities on the surface of the filter screen can be swept away by manually sliding the scraper back and forth, thus ensuring its filtration capacity.

[0004] However, most existing cooling tower water collection trays are designed as a single unit, which makes maintenance inconvenient and reduces their practicality. For example, the aforementioned comparative document uses a single-unit design, requiring the entire tray to be replaced when damaged or needing maintenance, further complicating its usability. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a novel cooling tower water collection tray assembly to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content

A limiting plate is provided on the inner side of the lower water collection tray, and a filter plate is installed above the limiting plate inside the lower water collection tray. A water outlet pipe is provided on one side of the lower water collection tray. A heating seat is installed on the lower surface of the lower water collection tray. Heating pipes are symmetrically arranged inside the heating seat, and a thermally conductive coating is applied to the upper surface of the heating seat. A heat insulation sleeve is provided on the inner side of the heating seat.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, bolts are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the connecting sleeve, and positioning holes are opened on the outside of the upper and lower water collecting plates. The end of the bolt is embedded in the positioning hole and threadedly connected to the positioning hole.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a novel cooling tower water collection tray assembly technical solution: it includes an upper water collection tray 1 and a lower water collection tray 2 located below the upper water collection tray 1. A sealing gasket 5 is provided at the connection between the upper water collection tray 1 and the lower water collection tray 2, and a connecting sleeve 3 is installed on the outside of the upper water collection tray 1 and the lower water collection tray 2. A limiting plate 23 is provided on the inner side of the lower water collection tray 2, and a filter plate 22 is installed on the inside of the lower water collection tray 2 above the limiting plate 23. A water outlet pipe 21 is provided on one side of the lower water collection tray 2, and a heating seat 4 is installed on the lower surface of the lower water collection tray 2. Heating pipes 43 are symmetrically arranged inside the heating seat 4, and a thermally conductive coating 41 is applied to the upper surface of the heating seat 4. A heat insulation sleeve 42 is provided on the inner side of the heating seat 4. This arrangement, using the connecting sleeve 3, enables a separate design for the upper water collection tray 1 and the lower water collection tray 2, which facilitates internal maintenance and allows for cost-effective replacement when damaged. The filter plate 22 is used to filter the cooling water of the cooling tower, making it highly practical.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, bolts are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the connecting sleeve 3. Locating holes are opened on the outside of the upper water collection plate 1 and the lower water collection plate 2. The end of the bolt is embedded in the locating hole and threadedly connected to the locating hole. This arrangement allows the connecting sleeve 3 to be installed on the upper water collection plate 1 and the lower water collection plate 2 by connecting the bolt with the locating hole, so as to realize the purpose of assembling and using the water collection plate, and also facilitates its disassembly for maintenance.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the sealing gasket 5 contacts the lower surface of the upper water collection plate 1, and the lower surface of the sealing gasket 5 contacts the upper surface of the lower water collection plate 2. This arrangement uses the sealing gasket 5 to seal the upper water collection plate 1 and the lower water collection plate 2, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the filter plate 22 is bolted to the upper surface of the limiting plate 23, and the filter plate 22 is set with the left side lower and the right side higher inside the water collection tray 2. This setting allows the filter plate 22 to filter the water entering the water collection tray, and the inclined setting of the filter plate 22 can tilt the filtered impurities to one side, thereby preventing clogging.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the upper surface of the heating base 4 is in contact with the lower surface of the water collection tray 2, and the heating base 4 is made of epoxy resin. At least ten heating tubes 43 are symmetrically arranged inside the heating base 4. The heat insulation sleeve 42 is made of rock wool. This arrangement uses the heating tubes 43 inside the heating base 4 to be electrically heated, and the heat can be transferred to the water collection tray 2 through the thermally conductive coating 41 to heat the water inside. This can prevent the water collection tray 2 from freezing inside and affecting its use.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the cooling tower water collection tray assembly of this utility model, firstly, the filter plate 22 is installed on the limiting plate 23 set inside the lower water collection tray 2 and fixed with bolts. After installation, the connecting sleeve 3 is installed on the outside of the upper water collection tray 1 with bolts. After installation, the sealing gasket 5 is installed on the upper surface of the lower water collection tray 2 and the lower water collection tray 2 is installed below the upper water collection tray 1. At this time, the connecting sleeve 3 is installed on the outside of the lower water collection tray 2 and fixed with bolts. In this way, the upper water collection tray 1 and the lower water collection tray 2 can be sealed and connected. In this way, the filter plate 22 can filter the water cooled by the cooling tower for subsequent use. At the same time, in order to prevent the water in the lower water collection tray 2 from freezing and affecting its use, the heating tube 43 inside the heating base 4 is energized and heated. The heat is transferred to the water in the lower water collection tray 2 through the heat-conducting coating 41 to heat the water inside. This can prevent the water in the lower water collection tray 2 from freezing and affecting its use. At the same time, the heat insulation sleeve 42 can isolate the heat and prevent heat loss. It has good practicality.

[0027] The heating tubes used in this invention are all existing known electrical components. They are connected to the external controller and external power supply, and can all be purchased and used directly on the market. Their structure, circuit, and control principle are all existing known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to the actual use. Therefore, the structure, circuit, and control principle of the device are not described in detail here.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
