Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air-cooled tower cleaning technology, specifically an air-cooled tower air-water combined cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Air-cooled towers are widely used in industrial production, and their operational safety and economy largely depend on the cleanliness of their interior. Over time, a large amount of dust, fluff, and other debris accumulates inside the air-cooled tower. These contaminants adhere to the surfaces of components such as the heat dissipation fins, severely affecting the heat exchange efficiency. Currently, existing air-cooled tower cleaning devices generally use high-pressure water spray to wash the fins. However, this manual high-pressure water rinsing results in incomplete cleaning, high labor costs, and difficulty in rinsing at heights, requiring manual dragging of pipelines. Furthermore, it leads to significant waste of demineralized water. Above transformers, large amounts of demineralized water dripping can cause unexpected shutdowns. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an air-cooled tower air-water combined cleaning device, including a sliding frame 1, which is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy. A gantry frame 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the sliding frame 1. The gantry frame 2 is the supporting structure above the entire device. A diversion box 3 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the gantry frame 2. The diversion box 3 is used to divert water pipes 6 and air pipes 7. A drag chain 4 is provided on the right side of the diversion box 3. The drag chain 4 is made of high-strength nylon, model T65*150. The drag chain 4 plays a protective and guiding role, so that the internal pipes and lines can move stably and are not easily damaged during operation. A conveying pipeline 5 is installed inside the drag chain 4. The conveying pipeline 5 is used to transport the water and gas required for cleaning. The conveying pipeline 5 includes a high-pressure water pipe, a compressed air hose, and control and signal cables, etc. The diversion box 3 is located on the right side of the gantry frame 1. A water pipe 6 is connected to the front of the distribution box 3, and an air pipe 7 is connected to the back of the distribution box 3. A U-shaped clamp 8 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the sliding frame 1. A water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and a dry air purging nozzle bracket 10 are respectively set at the bottom of the U-shaped clamp 8. The water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and the dry air purging nozzle bracket 10 adopt a double-layer water spray frame, with one interface for each of the air / water spray frame, a compressed air interface, and a high-pressure water interface. The bottoms of the water pipe 6 and the air pipe 7 are respectively connected to the water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and the dry air purging nozzle bracket 10. The water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and the dry air purging nozzle bracket 10 are used to transport water and gas to the high-pressure nozzle 11. High-pressure nozzles 11 are connected to both the left and right sides of the water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and the dry air purging nozzle bracket 10. There are six high-pressure water flushing nozzles with a total flow rate of 5.75 t / h and six air purging nozzles with a total air volume of 5.7 Nm³. 3 / min, the high-pressure nozzle 11 sprays water and gas in the form of high pressure to clean the air-cooled tower. The sliding frame 1 is equipped with a rotatable horizontal guide wheel 12 inside. The horizontal guide wheel 12 can assist the device to move in the horizontal direction and reduce friction with the guide rail. The inner side of the sliding frame 1 is equipped with a rotatable vertical guide wheel 13. A fixing plate 14 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sliding frame 1. The fixing plate 14 is used to install the other components. A fixing seat 15 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing plate 14. A fall-prevention buffer structure 16 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing seat 15. The fall-prevention buffer structure 16 is used to prevent the sliding frame 1 from hitting the bottom.
[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, twelve sets of high-pressure nozzles 11 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and the dry air purging nozzle bracket 10. The high-pressure nozzles 11 are installed horizontally downwards. The large number of high-pressure nozzles 11 can increase the cleaning coverage area. The nozzle spray direction is horizontal, which increases the coverage area and is consistent with the gap direction between the heat dissipation fins, thus improving the penetration. The water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and the dry air purging nozzle bracket 10 are respectively connected to the bottom of the water pipe 6 and the air pipe 7 to ensure that water and gas can be smoothly transported from the water pipe 6 and the air pipe 7 to the water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and the dry air purging nozzle bracket 10.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are four sets of vertical guide wheels 13. The inner side of the four sets of vertical guide wheels 13 is provided with guide rails, and the horizontal guide wheels 12 abut against each other with the guide rails. This design enables the sliding frame 1 to move stably along the guide rails, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cleaning process. The guide rails are made of 40x30x3 square tubes and are arranged on both sides of the sliding frame 1 to ensure the stability of operation.
[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] S1. Turn on the external water and gas sources. Water and gas are delivered to water pipe 6 and gas pipe 7 respectively through the delivery pipeline 5. After passing through water pipe 6 and gas pipe 7, they enter water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and dry air purging nozzle bracket 10 respectively.
[0025] S2. Start the drive device to move the sliding frame 1 along the guide rail. The horizontal guide wheel 12 and the vertical guide wheel 13 play a guiding and supporting role during the movement, so that the device can move smoothly inside the air-cooled tower. At the same time, water and gas flow in the water flushing nozzle support 9 and the dry gas purging nozzle support 10. When it is necessary to clean the surface of the air-cooled tower fins, the gas passes through the dry gas purging nozzle support 10 and is finally sprayed out from the high-pressure nozzle 11 in the form of high pressure to clean the fins and other components of the air-cooled tower with high-pressure gas.
[0026] S3. When deep cleaning of the air-cooled tower fins is required, water passes through the water flushing nozzle bracket 9 and finally exits from the high-pressure nozzle 11 to impact the air-cooled tower fins with high-pressure water flow for deep cleaning.
[0027] S4. During the movement of the device, the anti-fall buffer structure 16 is used to prevent the sliding frame 1 from touching the bottom, so as to avoid damage to the sliding frame 1 after it falls.
[0028] In summary, this air-cooled tower air-water combined cleaning device, by setting up a dry air purging nozzle support 10 to spray gas from the corresponding high-pressure nozzle 11, the impact force of the gas can more effectively remove dirt between the heat dissipation fins, resulting in a better cleaning effect on the heat dissipation fins. By setting up a water flushing nozzle support 9 to spray water from the corresponding high-pressure nozzle 11, the air-cooled tower can be cleaned more thoroughly, improving the heat exchange effect of the air-cooled tower, thereby improving the safe and economical operation level of the unit and helping to better ensure the cleaning effect of the air-cooled tower.
[0029] This air-cooled tower air-water combined cleaning device, by setting a sliding frame 1 and horizontal guide wheels 12 and vertical guide wheels 13 to move stably along the guide rail, allows the cleaning device to move flexibly along the guide rail inside the air-cooled tower, making it convenient to clean various parts of the air-cooled tower and improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of cleaning.
