Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, and more specifically, to an anti-scaling cooling tower. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, anti-scaling cooling towers primarily reduce the probability of scale formation through structural design and material selection to maintain heat exchange efficiency and extend equipment lifespan. However, in practical applications...

[0003] First, current cooling towers generally lack effective means to specifically expand the heat dissipation area. Traditional cooling towers mostly rely on fixed packing layers or heat sinks for heat exchange. This structure is prone to reduced heat dissipation efficiency due to scale buildup or biological impurities during long-term operation. This is especially true in high-temperature, high-humidity, or complex water quality environments, where scaling inside the cooling tower becomes more severe. The existing structure does not adequately consider how to flexibly increase the heat dissipation area to enhance heat dissipation efficiency.

[0004] Secondly, the heat sinks or heat dissipation units currently in widespread use are generally fixed or simply embedded, lacking a reasonable mechanism for quick disassembly and cleaning. After long-term operation, scale and impurities easily adhere to the surface of these heat sinks. If cleaning is required, it is often necessary to disassemble part of the cooling tower structure, which is time-consuming, laborious, and can easily damage the original components. Utility Model Content

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-scaling cooling tower, comprising a cooling tower body, a cooling mechanism, a cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism, and a stabilizing mechanism. The cooling mechanism includes a pump assembly and a water inlet pipe. The water inlet pipe is installed at the output end of the pump assembly, and a diverter pipe is installed at one end of the water inlet pipe. A heat dissipation honeycomb block is installed inside the cooling tower body, and the water inlet pipe is installed on the heat dissipation honeycomb block. A suction pipe is installed at the inlet end of the pump assembly. The cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​pipe and a snap-fit ​​rod. A rotating ring is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe, and a pressure ring is mounted on the top end of the rotating ring. A turntable is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe, and an embedding block is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe. A pull rod is rotatably connected between the embedding block and the turntable. The reciprocating motion of the pull rod causes the embedding block to embed into or move away from the snap-fit ​​rod.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the stabilizing mechanism includes a threaded ring and a directional ring. The threaded pipe is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping pipe, and the directional ring is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the clamping pipe. A thrust bearing is installed between the threaded ring and the directional ring. A support spring is installed on the directional ring, and the support spring is arranged in multiple rings. A support groove is opened at the top end of the pressure ring. The support spring extends into the support groove step by step to make the rotating ring rotate stably. The directional ring moves longitudinally to fix the support spring into the support groove, thereby fixing the rotating ring in the rotation direction.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a water collection bucket is installed at the bottom end of the cooling tower body, and the water collection bucket is arranged opposite to the bottom output end of the cooling tower body, so as to collect the cooled water and prevent waste.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a drain pipe is connected to the upper part of the water collection hopper, and one end of the drain pipe can be led to the outside. The descaling door is installed on the side wall of the cooling tower body, and the drain pipe can be led to the outside or the circulation system, thereby improving flexibility.

[0010] The present invention is further provided that a connecting plate is installed at the bottom end of the side wall of the clamping pipe, and the connecting plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cooling tower body. The setting of the connecting plate facilitates the stable installation of the clamping pipe.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a top cover is installed at the top end of the cooling tower body, and a cooling fan is installed on the top cover. The cooling fan is arranged opposite to the heat dissipation honeycomb block. The cooling fan enhances airflow and improves heat dissipation efficiency. The cooling fan is positioned opposite to the heat dissipation honeycomb block to form an ideal airflow path.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a bottom frame is installed at the bottom end of the heat dissipation honeycomb block, one end of the snap-fit ​​rod is connected to the bottom frame, and the other end of the snap-fit ​​rod extends through the side wall of the cooling tower body and engages with the snap-fit ​​pipe.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a guide block is provided inside the side wall of the card tube, and an arc groove is provided on the turntable. The guide block and the arc groove are configured to rotate and guide the turntable. The guide block and the arc groove precisely control the rotation trajectory of the turntable, prevent deviation, reduce operation error, and improve locking reliability.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an anti-scaling cooling tower, which has the following beneficial effects: This utility model is equipped with a cooling mechanism, which adopts a combination design of pump assembly, water inlet pipe and diversion pipe to achieve efficient circulation and uniform distribution of water flow. The heat dissipation honeycomb block increases the contact area between water and air, significantly improving heat exchange efficiency. This not only makes the cooling effect more significant, but also reduces the generation and accumulation of scale, and lowers maintenance costs and frequency.

[0015] This utility model is equipped with a cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism. The cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism realizes the quick installation and disassembly of the heat dissipation honeycomb block through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​tube and the snap-fit ​​rod. The combination design of the rotating ring, turntable and embedded block makes the operation simple and reliable. The reciprocating motion design of the pull rod reduces the operating force and greatly improves the convenience of equipment maintenance, making cleaning and replacement of parts simple and efficient.

[0016] This utility model incorporates a stabilizing mechanism, which combines a threaded ring, a directional ring, and a support spring to form a multi-layered fixing and safety system. The design of the support spring extending into the support groove in stages ensures the flexibility of the rotating ring's stable rotation while achieving a secure lock through the longitudinal movement of the directional ring. The use of a thrust bearing reduces operating friction, improves operational comfort, ensures the stability of connecting components during long-term operation, prevents loosening due to vibration or accidental operation, and enhances the safety and reliability of the entire cooling system.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 A scale-resistant cooling tower includes a cooling tower body 1, a cooling mechanism, a cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism, and a stabilizing mechanism. The cooling mechanism includes a pump assembly 2 and a water inlet pipe 3. The water inlet pipe 3 is installed at the output end of the pump assembly 2, and a diverter pipe 4 is installed at one end of the water inlet pipe 3. A heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 is installed inside the cooling tower body 1, and the water inlet pipe 3 is installed in the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5. A suction pipe 6 is installed at the inlet end of the pump assembly 2. The cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a snap-fit ​​pipe 7 and a snap-fit ​​rod 8. A rotating ring 9 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe 7, and a pressure ring 10 is installed at the top end of the rotating ring 9. A turntable 11 is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe 7, and an embedding block 12 is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe 7. A pull rod 13 is rotatably connected between the embedding block 12 and the turntable 11. The reciprocating motion of the pull rod 13 causes the embedding block 12 to be embedded in or away from the snap-fit ​​rod 8.

[0023] In this embodiment, the cooling mechanism is responsible for the core cooling function of the cooling tower body 1. During operation, the pump assembly 2 draws in water through the suction pipe 6, and then delivers the water to the distribution pipe 4 through the inlet pipe 3. The distribution pipe 4 evenly distributes the water onto the heat dissipation honeycomb blocks 5. The water flows down the surface of the honeycomb blocks and exchanges heat with the air inside the cooling tower body 1. The cooling fan 23 introduces air from the top to promote the heat exchange process. The water temperature decreases as it flows through the heat dissipation honeycomb blocks 5 and eventually flows into the water collection hopper 19 at the bottom. It is then discharged through the drain pipe 20 or recycled, maximizing the cooling efficiency while preventing scale buildup in the system. The cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism is used for fixing and disassembling. The heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 is easy to remove for maintenance and cleaning. During operation, one end of the snap-fit ​​rod 8 is connected to the bottom frame 24 of the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, and the other end passes through the side wall of the cooling tower body 1 and engages with the snap-fit ​​pipe 7. The rotating ring 9 on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe 7 can rotate, and the linkage is achieved through the pull rod 13 between the turntable 11 and the embedded block 12. When the rotating ring 9 rotates, the pull rod 13 drives the embedded block 12 to reciprocate, so that the embedded block 12 is inserted into or moved away from the slot on the snap-fit ​​rod 8. When the embedded block 12 is fully inserted into the slot of the snap-fit ​​rod 8, the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 is firmly fixed. When the embedded block 12 is moved away from the slot, the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.

[0024] The stabilizing mechanism includes a threaded ring 14 and a directional ring 15. The threaded ring is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping pipe 7, and the directional ring 15 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the clamping pipe 7. A thrust bearing 16 is installed between the threaded ring 14 and the directional ring 15. A support spring 17 is installed on the directional ring 15, and the support spring 17 is arranged in multiple rings. A support groove 18 is opened at the top end of the pressure ring 10. The support spring 17 extends into the support groove 18 in stages, so that the rotating ring 9 rotates stably. The directional ring 15 moves longitudinally, so that the support spring 17 is fixedly embedded in the support groove 18, so that the rotating ring 9 is fixed in the rotation direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism ensures the reliability of the snap-fit ​​state. In the initial state, multiple sets of support springs 17 on the directional ring 15 extend into the support groove 18 on the pressure ring 10 at the top of the rotating ring 9, enabling the rotating ring 9 to rotate stably. When it is necessary to fix the position of the rotating ring 9, the directional ring 15 is pushed longitudinally along the snap-fit ​​tube 7 by rotating the threaded ring 14 and using the thrust bearing 16, so that the support springs 17 are fully embedded in the support groove 18. At this time, the rotating ring 9 is fixed in the rotation direction, preventing the position of the embedded block 12 from changing due to vibration or improper operation, ensuring the continuous stability of the fixed state of the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, and greatly improving the reliability of the cooling tower body 1 during long-term operation.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5As a supplementary embodiment of an anti-scaling cooling tower for the cooling mechanism, cooling clamping mechanism, and stabilizing mechanism: a water collection hopper 19 is installed at the bottom end of the cooling tower body 1, and the water collection hopper 19 is positioned opposite to the bottom output end of the cooling tower body 1. A drain pipe 20 is connected to the upper part of the water collection hopper 19, and one end of the drain pipe 20 can lead to the outside. A descaling door 401 is installed on the side wall of the cooling tower body 1. A connecting plate 21 is installed at the bottom end of the side wall of the clamping pipe 7, and the connecting plate 21 is fixedly installed on the cooling tower body 1. On the side wall, a top cover 22 is installed at the top end of the cooling tower body 1, and a cooling fan 23 is installed on the top cover 22. The cooling fan 23 is arranged opposite to the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5. A bottom frame 24 is installed at the bottom end of the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5. One end of the snap-fit ​​rod 8 is connected to the bottom frame 24, and the other end of the snap-fit ​​rod 8 extends through the side wall of the cooling tower body 1 and engages with the snap-fit ​​pipe 7. A guide block 25 is provided in the side wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe 7, and an arc groove 26 is opened on the turntable 11. The guide block 25 and the arc groove 26 are arranged to rotate and guide.

[0027] More specifically, firstly, the cooling fan 23 runs on the top cover 22, creating a downward airflow. At the same time, the pump assembly 2 starts, drawing in water through the suction pipe 6. The water is then evenly distributed onto the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 via the inlet pipe 3 and the branch pipe 4. As the water flows down the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, it exchanges heat with the airflow, lowering its temperature. The cooled water is collected in the bottom water collection hopper 19 and discharged through the drain pipe 20 or recycled. When it is necessary to clean or maintain the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, first operate the stabilizing mechanism, rotate the threaded ring 14 in the opposite direction to release the support spring 17 from fixing the rotating ring 9. Then rotate the rotating ring 9 and pull the rod 13 to move the embedded block 12 away from the slot of the snap-fit ​​rod 8. Finally, pull out the snap-fit ​​rod 8 and remove the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 for cleaning. The installation is carried out in the reverse order.

[0028] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: when the cooling mechanism is in operation, it is responsible for the core cooling function of the cooling tower body 1. During operation, the pump assembly 2 draws in water through the suction pipe 6, and then delivers the water to the distribution pipe 4 through the inlet pipe 3. The distribution pipe 4 distributes the water evenly onto the heat dissipation honeycomb blocks 5. The water flows down along the surface of the honeycomb blocks and exchanges heat with the air inside the cooling tower body 1. The cooling fan 23 introduces air from the top to promote the heat exchange process. The water temperature decreases as it flows through the heat dissipation honeycomb blocks 5 and eventually flows into the water collection hopper 19 at the bottom. Then it is discharged through the drain pipe 20 or recycled, maximizing the cooling efficiency and preventing scale buildup in the system.

[0029] When the cooling snap-fit ​​mechanism is in operation, it is used to fix and disassemble the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 for easy maintenance and cleaning. During operation, one end of the snap-fit ​​rod 8 is connected to the bottom frame 24 of the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, and the other end passes through the side wall of the cooling tower body 1 and engages with the snap-fit ​​pipe 7. The rotating ring 9 on the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​pipe 7 can rotate, and the linkage is achieved through the pull rod 13 between the turntable 11 and the embedded block 12. When the rotating ring 9 rotates, the pull rod 13 drives the embedded block 12 to reciprocate, so that the embedded block 12 is inserted into or moved away from the slot on the snap-fit ​​rod 8. When the embedded block 12 is fully inserted into the slot of the snap-fit ​​rod 8, the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 is firmly fixed. When the embedded block 12 is moved away from the slot, the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 can be easily disassembled for easy cleaning and maintenance.

[0030] When the stabilizing mechanism is required to operate, it ensures the reliability of the locking state. In the initial state, multiple sets of support springs 17 on the directional ring 15 extend into the support grooves 18 on the pressure ring 10 at the top of the rotating ring 9, enabling the rotating ring 9 to rotate stably. When it is necessary to fix the position of the rotating ring 9, the directional ring 15 is pushed longitudinally along the locking tube 7 by rotating the threaded ring 14 and using the thrust bearing 16, so that the support springs 17 are fully embedded in the support grooves 18. At this time, the rotating ring 9 is fixed in the rotation direction, preventing the position of the embedded block 12 from changing due to vibration or improper operation, ensuring the continuous stability of the fixed state of the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, and greatly improving the reliability of the cooling tower body 1 during long-term operation.

[0031] First, the cooling fan 23 runs on the top cover 22, creating a downward airflow. At the same time, the pump assembly 2 starts, drawing in water through the suction pipe 6. The water is then evenly distributed onto the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 through the inlet pipe 3 and the branch pipe 4. As the water flows down the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, it exchanges heat with the airflow, lowering its temperature. The cooled water is collected in the bottom water collection hopper 19 and discharged through the drain pipe 20 or recycled. When it is necessary to clean or maintain the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5, first operate the stabilizing mechanism, rotate the threaded ring 14 in the opposite direction to release the support spring 17 from fixing the rotating ring 9. Then rotate the rotating ring 9 and pull the rod 13 to move the embedded block 12 away from the slot of the snap-fit ​​rod 8. Finally, pull out the snap-fit ​​rod 8 and remove the heat dissipation honeycomb block 5 for cleaning. The installation is carried out in the reverse order.
