Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water collector technology, specifically an energy-saving water collector. Background Technology
[0002] A water collector is a device used to collect and store water resources or remove water droplets entrained in the hot and humid air discharged from a cooling tower. Traditional corrugated plate water collectors recover water vapor by allowing saturated humid air inside the cooling tower to pass through the dewatering layer in a straight airflow state, utilizing the collision effect of the corrugated plate walls. The new vortex water collector, on the other hand, uses the principle of vortex generation to change the water vapor from a vertically rising state to a rotating turbulent state, increasing the probability of collisions between droplets, causing small droplets to coalesce into larger droplets that fall back and are collected.
[0003] Current water collectors suffer from low water collection rates due to the small upward displacement of mist-containing gas and poor moisture aggregation. Furthermore, their fixed structure makes installation, disassembly, and regular maintenance inconvenient. To address these technical problems, an energy-saving water collector is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving water collector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An energy-saving water collector includes an upper guide plate, several transition guide plates, and a lower guide plate arranged concentrically from top to bottom. A converging top plate is fixed at the center of the upper guide plate. Vertical connecting components with the same structure are installed between adjacent transition guide plates, between the upper guide plate and the transition guide plate, and between the transition guide plate and the lower guide plate. An upward channel is opened at the center of each transition guide plate and the lower guide plate. The upward channel is vertically opposite to the bottom surface of the converging top plate. The diameters of the upper guide plate, transition guide plate, and lower guide plate arranged from top to bottom increase sequentially.
[0006] As an improvement of this utility model: the upper guide plate, the transition guide plate and the lower guide plate each include a number of circumferentially evenly distributed fan plates, and the number of fan plates are connected end to end in sequence.
[0007] As an improvement of this utility model: the fan plate is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the end of the fan plate near the rising channel is higher than the end away from the rising channel.

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Rather, the embodiments of this utility model include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0018] For the first embodiment, please refer to... Figures 1-5 An energy-saving water collector includes an upper guide plate 7, several transition guide plates 2, and a lower guide plate 1 arranged concentrically from top to bottom. A converging top plate 3 is fixed at the center of the upper guide plate 7. Vertical connecting components with the same structure are installed between adjacent transition guide plates 2, between the upper guide plate 7 and the transition guide plate 2, and between the transition guide plate 2 and the lower guide plate 1. An upward channel 4 is opened at the center of the transition guide plate 2 and the lower guide plate 1. The upward channel 4 is vertically opposite to the bottom surface of the converging top plate 3. The diameters of the upper guide plate 7, the transition guide plate 2, and the lower guide plate 1 arranged from top to bottom increase sequentially.
[0019] The main structure of this water collector consists of an upper guide plate 7, several transition guide plates 2, and a lower guide plate 1, which are evenly spaced from top to bottom. The mist-containing gas with a certain speed first rises through the rising channel 4 at the center of the lower guide plate 1. Due to the inertial impact of the gas, the mist collides with the transition guide plate 2 and is agglomerated to form droplets. When the droplets become large enough that their own gravity exceeds the resultant force of the gas's upward force and the liquid's surface tension, the droplets are separated from the surface of the transition guide plate 2, thus achieving the water collection effect. The mist-containing gas that has not been condensed continues to move upward through the rising channel 4 of the transition guide plate 2, thereby achieving the layer-by-layer agglomeration and guiding effect of the mist-containing gas by the transition guide plate 2, which greatly improves the water collection effect of the mist-containing gas.
[0020] Specifically, the upper guide plate 7, the transition guide plate 2, and the lower guide plate 1 each include several circumferentially distributed fan plates 10, which are connected end to end. As the mist-laden gas rises, it collides with the bottom surface of the fan plate 10. The mist then converges and drips along the bottom surface of the fan plate 10 onto the upper surface of the next transition guide plate 2. Finally, the water droplets slide down layer by layer, achieving the water collection effect. Because multiple fan plates 10 are used, the impact area between the rising mist-laden gas and the transition guide plate 2 is significantly expanded, greatly improving the condensation efficiency of the mist-laden gas and thus significantly enhancing the water collection efficiency of this water collector.
[0021] In addition, the fan plate 10 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, with the end of the fan plate 10 closer to the rising channel 4 being higher than the end farther from the rising channel 4. The inclined arrangement of the fan plate 10 allows droplets falling on the upper surface of the fan plate 10 and droplets condensing on the lower surface of the fan plate 10 to slide off smoothly. At the same time, the rising mist-containing gas can slide along the inclined surface of the fan plate 10 after hitting the bottom surface of the fan plate 10 and continue to move upward, greatly reducing the upward resistance of the mist-containing gas. This gives the water collector the significant advantages of low energy consumption and high water collection rate.
[0022] In addition, a partition plate 6 is fixed between adjacent fan plates 10, and a ring plate 8 is fixed on the partition plate 6. The ring plate 8 is coaxially arranged with the top confluence plate 3. The partition plate 6 can divert and guide the condensed droplets, promote the uniform sliding of the droplets, and effectively ensure the stability of the water collector.
[0023] Second embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-5 Based on the first embodiment, the vertical connection assembly of this water collector includes a support plate 5 vertically mounted on the upper surface of the fan plate 10. Two snap-fit blocks 12 are fixed to the top of the support plate 5, and snap-fit holes 9 are provided on the fan plate 10 for the snap-fit blocks 12 to be inserted. The vertical connection assembly also includes a support 13 fixed on the fan plate 10, and the support 13 is fixed to the support plate 5 by fasteners 14.
[0024] The snap-fit hole 9 on the fan plate 10 on the upper guide plate 7 snaps into the snap-fit block 12 on the top of the support plate 5 installed on the transition guide plate 2, and the snap-fit block 12 on the top of the support plate 5 installed on the lower guide plate 1 snaps into the snap-fit hole 9 on the transition guide plate 2. Adjacent transition guide plates 2 are also connected by snap-fit blocks 12 and snap-fit holes 9. The above installation structure is simple to operate and easy to install.
[0025] In this water collector, the fastener 14 is a bolt and nut. The bolt passes through the support 13 and the support plate 5, and the nut is threaded to the bolt to lock and fix the support 13 and the support plate 5, ensuring the stable installation of the support plate 5. While having a detachable function, it provides a reliable connection and support for the structure of this water collector.
[0026] In addition, connecting seats 11 are fixed on the bottom surfaces of the upper guide plate 7, the transition guide plate 2 and the lower guide plate 1. The connecting seats 11 can be connected to the external structure, which can further ensure the stability of the water collection process of this water collector.
[0027] In summary, this utility model utilizes a bottom-to-top stacked lower guide plate 1, transition guide plate 2, and converging top plate 3 to form the guiding section of the water collector. The rising mist-laden gas moves vertically upwards along the rising channel 4, and the mist-laden gas undergoes multi-layer condensation through the lower guide plate 1, transition guide plate 2, and converging top plate 3 to achieve water collection, significantly improving water collection efficiency. The upper guide plate 7, transition guide plate 2, and lower guide plate 1 are connected and fixed by a vertical connecting component, which consists of fasteners 14, support plates 5, and snap-fit blocks 12. This effectively improves the installation and disassembly efficiency of the water collector, greatly facilitating regular disassembly and maintenance operations.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
