Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower auxiliary device technology, and in particular to a cooling tower top protection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling towers are key pieces of equipment used in industrial and civil applications to reduce the temperature of circulating water. They dissipate heat through heat exchange between water and air and are widely used in industries such as power, chemical, metallurgy, and air conditioning / refrigeration. Their core function is to maintain a stable temperature in the circulating water system, ensuring efficient equipment operation and extending its service life.

[0003] The existing cooling towers lack a protective structure above the top fan, leaving the fan's drive source directly exposed. This leads to wear and tear and a shortened lifespan after prolonged use. Therefore, designing a protective structure for the top of the cooling tower to address these technical issues is of paramount importance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the top of the existing cooling tower fan does not have a protective structure, and the drive source of the fan is directly exposed on the outside, which is prone to wear and shortens its service life after long-term use. Therefore, a protective structure for the top of the cooling tower is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cooling tower top protection structure, comprising a tower body, an opening at the top of the tower body, a bracket installed at the opening by fasteners, a motor installed on the bracket, a rotatable fan blade installed at the output end of the motor, a spray pipe installed below the fan blade in the tower body, multiple sets of nozzles evenly distributed at the bottom of the spray pipe, high-temperature industrial wastewater being transported by an auxiliary pipe from the spray pipe, an air inlet installed on the left side wall of the tower body, a discharge pipe installed at the bottom of the tower body, a protective net frame installed at the top of the tower body, columns evenly distributed at the bottom of the protective net frame, and an auxiliary plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the columns.

[0006] Preferably, the auxiliary plate is detachably connected to the tower body by bolts, and the protective net frame adopts a hyperboloid arc structure design.

[0007] Preferably, the protective mesh frame is of the Kelvin type or triangular pyramid shape, and a space is left between the protective mesh frame and the top of the tower body to facilitate the discharge of high-temperature water vapor.

[0008] Preferably, the column is made of 6061-T6 material, which reduces its weight compared to concrete.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting pipe is installed on the side wall of the tower body, and the connecting pipe delivers low-temperature water to the bottom of the tower body. An inspection port is provided on the right side wall of the tower body, and a cover plate is detachably installed on the inspection port.

[0010] Preferably, a shut-off valve is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. In this utility model, during use, low-temperature water is supplied to the bottom of the tower through a connecting pipe installed on the side wall of the tower body, forming a heat exchange with the high-temperature industrial wastewater sprayed from the spray pipe, further improving the cooling efficiency. Simultaneously, the inspection port on the right side wall of the tower body facilitates maintenance and repair of the tower's interior. The detachable cover plate on the inspection port ensures the tower's airtightness. Compared to conventional towers without a protective structure at the top, the technical solution adopted in this utility model effectively protects the motor and related components. The overall structure is compact, the spatial layout is reasonable, and installation and maintenance are convenient. It solves the problem that existing cooling towers lack a protective structure above the top fan, leaving the fan's drive source directly exposed, which is prone to wear and tear and shortens its service life after prolonged use.

[0012] 2. In this utility model, the protective mesh frame structure installed on the top of the tower, combined with the columns and auxiliary plates, effectively protects the top fan and its drive source. This structural design not only prevents the fan and its drive source from being exposed to the external environment for extended periods, but also significantly extends the service life of the equipment. Simultaneously, the hyperboloid arc structure, Kevlar type, or triangular pyramid design of the protective mesh frame enhances structural stability while ensuring smooth airflow, facilitating the discharge of high-temperature water vapor and thus improving cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the columns are made of 6061-T6 material, which significantly reduces weight compared to traditional concrete, making the installation and maintenance of the entire protective structure more convenient. These design features collectively constitute the significant advantages of this utility model, enabling the cooling tower top protective structure to exhibit superior performance in practical applications.
