Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-saving device technology, and in particular to a cooling tower water collector. Background Technology

[0002] my country's booming industry and increasing population have led to a sharp rise in urban and industrial water consumption, with thermal power plants consuming a significant portion, and cooling towers accounting for a large proportion of this water consumption. Wind loss from cooling towers involves small water droplets being carried out of the tower by airflow, entering the atmosphere or falling to the surrounding ground. Additionally, water droplets discharged with the airflow can impact the surrounding environment. In winter, ice can form around the tower, potentially affecting traffic. Since the function of cooling water in the power plant's circulation system is to lower temperatures and does not undergo water quality changes, collecting the lost water through appropriate measures would greatly contribute to water conservation. Currently, most cooling towers are equipped with water collectors to save water and reduce adverse environmental impacts.

[0003] Water collectors are key components in water treatment equipment responsible for efficient water collection, especially common in scenarios like cooling towers where rapid separation of water and air is required. Their core principle is "cyclone separation," which uses a rotating motion to quickly collect water and reduce entrained droplets, thus improving water treatment efficiency.

[0004] The fixed structure of the water collector cannot adjust the vertical stack length. If the water collector needs to be installed in equipment with variable height (such as cooling towers of different sizes or temporary water treatment devices), the fixed stack length may conflict with the actual installation space. The stack length of the water collector directly affects the effective water collection area (the longer the stack, the larger the water collection area and the higher the upper limit of the water treatment capacity). The fixed length cannot adapt to different water volume requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooling tower water collector to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cooling tower water collector, including a base plate and multiple water collection units stacked on top of each other. Each water collection unit includes a cylindrical connecting ring, and circumferentially distributed blades are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring. The upper end of the connecting ring is provided with an external thread three, and the lower end of the connecting ring is provided with an external thread two. Adjacent connecting rings are connected by external thread three and external thread two.

[0007] Preferably, a support ring is fixedly provided at the top of the base plate, and the connecting ring at the bottom is fixedly connected to the support ring.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the support ring is provided with an external thread, and the connecting ring at the bottom is connected to the support ring by external thread one and external thread two.

[0009] Preferably, a side support block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring, the side support block has a guide hole inside, a screw hole is opened on the top of the base plate, a screw is inserted into the guide hole, the lower end of the screw has an external thread, and the lower end of the screw is threaded into the screw hole.

[0010] Preferably, positioning pins are fixedly connected to the top four corners of the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a connecting block for connecting the four positioning pins. The connecting block is pressed and disposed on the top of the four base plates. The connecting block has four positioning holes. The upper end of the positioning pin passes through the positioning hole and is threaded with a nut on the upper end of the positioning pin. The nut is pressed and disposed on the top of the connecting block.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom end of the cylindrical connecting ring at the bottom is provided with a base, and the connecting ring is fixedly connected to the base plate through its base.

[0013] Furthermore, the blades in the water collection unit are spiral-shaped, which forces the gas to flow up and down in a swirling manner.

[0014] Alternatively, two adjacent connecting rings can be connected by a snap-fit ​​method. One end of the same connecting ring has a smaller outer diameter, forming an insertion part; the other end has a larger inner diameter, forming a retaining part. During installation, the insertion part of the lower connecting ring is inserted into the retaining part of the upper connecting ring, thereby achieving the connection between the two.

[0015] Alternatively, the blades are rotatably disposed within the connecting ring. The blades rotate under the impetus of the rising gas, which in turn agitates the airflow and improves the condensation efficiency of water molecules in the airflow.

[0016] Furthermore, a first blade and a second blade are arranged at intervals above and below within the same connecting ring. The first blade and the second blade are rotatably mounted on the central shaft via a first one-way bearing and a second one-way bearing, respectively. The first one-way bearing and the second one-way bearing rotate in opposite directions, thereby causing the first blade and the second blade to rotate in opposite directions relative to each other.

[0017] The arrangement of two sets of blades further enhances the condensation speed of water molecules; the two sets of blades rotate in opposite directions, reducing the vibration amplitude of the connecting ring itself and preventing the numerous water collection units arranged side by side on the base plate from resonating, thus reducing noise and preventing the resonance from damaging the cooling tower.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, multiple water collection units are stacked one on top of the other and arranged in an alternating pattern to form a tortuous gas channel. The length of the gas flow can be designed arbitrarily. The tortuous gas channel extends the gas flow path and increases the contact opportunity between liquid water and the blades, allowing the liquid water to be captured by the blades for more time and opportunity, thereby improving the water collection effect, reducing the amount of water droplets carried out, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the connecting block is sleeved on four positioning pins, and then the nut is threaded onto the positioning pins to lock the connecting block. At this time, the purpose of assembling multiple base plates is achieved, that is, the lateral area of ​​the water collection unit is expanded. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1 like Figure 1-7As shown, the cooling tower water collector provided in this embodiment includes a base plate 1, a support ring 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and multiple water collection units stacked vertically. Each water collection unit includes a cylindrical connecting ring 3. The inner wall of the connecting ring 3 is fixedly connected with circumferentially distributed blades 4. The upper end of the connecting ring 3 is provided with an external thread 302, and the lower end of the connecting ring 3 is provided with an external thread 201. Adjacent connecting rings 3 are connected by external thread 302 and external thread 201.

[0028] Multiple water collection units are stacked one on top of the other (i.e., multiple layers of blades 4), forming a gas channel. The length of the gas flow can be designed arbitrarily. The gas channel extends the gas flow path, increases the contact opportunities between liquid water and blades 4, and allows droplets more time and opportunities to be captured by blades 4, thereby improving the water collection effect, reducing the amount of water droplets carried out, and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0029] The connecting rings 3 are connected by threads, allowing the water collection units to be stacked indefinitely. Threaded connections are a common and mature connection method that can form a relatively tight and stable connection. In a cyclone separator, this connection method can ensure that multiple water collection units maintain good coaxiality and stability when stacked vertically, thereby ensuring smooth gas flow in the tortuous channel.

[0030] The top of the support ring 2 is provided with an external thread 201, and the connecting ring 3 located at the bottom is connected to the support ring 2 by external thread 201 and external thread 301.

[0031] The external thread 201 and the external thread 301 of the connecting ring 3 are of the same specification, so that the support ring 2 can be directly threaded to the bottom water collection unit without the need for additional adapters (such as flanges or adapters).

[0032] This "standardized" design makes the support ring 2 the "standard base" for the water collection unit. No matter how many units are stacked later, the bottom unit can be directly connected to the support ring 2, avoiding installation difficulties caused by mismatched specifications (such as the need for customized adapters for traditional connections of different specifications, which increases costs and installation time).

[0033] A side support block 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring 3. The side support block 5 has a guide hole 501 inside. A screw hole 101 is opened on the top of the base plate 1. A screw 6 is inserted into the guide hole 501. The lower end of the screw 6 has an external thread 601. The lower end of the screw 6 is threaded into the screw hole 101.

[0034] When installing multiple connecting rings 3, the guide holes 501 of the upper and lower side support blocks 5 need to be aligned. Then, the screw 6 is passed through the guide hole 501 from top to bottom, and the lower end of the screw 6 is threaded into the screw hole 101. This achieves the purpose of locking multiple connecting rings 3 and improves the stability during use.

[0035] Positioning pins 7 are fixedly connected to the top four corners of the base plate 1.

[0036] It also includes a connecting block 8 for connecting four positioning pins 7. The connecting block 8 is pressed and set on the top of the four base plates 1. The connecting block 8 has four positioning holes. The upper end of the positioning pin 7 passes through the positioning hole and the upper end of the positioning pin 7 is threaded with a nut 9. The nut 9 is pressed and set on the top of the connecting block 8.

[0037] The connecting block 8 is fitted onto the four positioning pins 7, and then the nut 9 is threaded onto the positioning pins 7 to lock the connecting block 8. At this time, the purpose of assembling multiple base plates 1 is achieved, that is, the lateral area of ​​the water collection unit is expanded.

[0038] Example 2 This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that: like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a base 31 can also be provided at the bottom end of the bottom cylindrical connecting ring 3. The connecting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 through its base 31. The connection method is preferably a snap-fit ​​method, thereby improving its installation efficiency. The blades 4 in the water collection unit are preferably spiral-shaped, used to force the gas to flow up and down in a swirling manner.

[0039] Optionally, two adjacent connecting rings 3 may be connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, see [reference]. Figure 9 As shown, one end of the same connecting ring 3 has a smaller outer diameter, forming an insertion part 36; the other end has a larger inner diameter, forming a retaining part 37. During installation, the insertion part 36 of the lower connecting ring 3 is inserted into the retaining part 37 of the upper connecting ring 3, thereby achieving the connection between the two.

[0040] Alternatively, the blade 4 is rotatably disposed within the connecting ring 3. The blade 4 rotates under the push of the rising gas, which in turn agitates the airflow and improves the condensation efficiency of water molecules in the airflow.

[0041] See Figure 9 As shown, in a further preferred embodiment, a first blade 41 and a second blade 42 are arranged vertically at intervals within the same connecting ring 3. The first blade 41 and the second blade 42 are rotatably mounted on the central shaft 32 via a first one-way bearing 34 and a second one-way bearing 35, respectively. The first one-way bearing 34 and the second one-way bearing 35 rotate in opposite directions, thereby causing the first blade 41 and the second blade 42 to rotate in opposite directions relative to each other.

[0042] The opposing rotation of the two sets of blades 4 further enhances the condensation speed of water molecules; at the same time, the opposing rotation of the two sets of blades 4 reduces the vibration amplitude of the connecting ring 3 itself, avoids resonance of the numerous water collection units arranged side by side on the base plate, reduces noise, and also avoids damage to the cooling tower caused by such resonance.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
