Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooling tower technology, specifically to an integrated cooling tower. Background Technology
[0002] A wind turbine support device is a structure used to bear the load of the wind turbine, motor and gearbox, and also has the function of passage and maintenance.
[0003] An integrated cooling tower is a cooling device that integrates heat exchange, ventilation, and water circulation into a single unit. Its core function is to transfer waste heat generated in industrial production or air conditioning systems to the atmosphere through heat exchange between air and circulating water, thereby cooling and recovering the circulating water. It is widely used in chemical, power, manufacturing, and civil construction industries. Compared to traditional split-type cooling towers (which require additional water pumps, pipes, and water tanks), its advantages of being "ready to use, small footprint, and low energy consumption" make it the preferred solution for small to medium-scale cooling needs.
[0004] Currently, when installing the cooling tower support frame, many components require welding both before leaving the factory and on-site, resulting in low installation efficiency and increased costs. Furthermore, some components demand higher skill levels from installation workers, requiring more auxiliary tools and increasing indirect costs. Additionally, prolonged operation may cause connection points and welds to detach, affecting the normal operation of the cooling tower.
[0005] A prior art patent with publication number CN221761531U discloses a solution comprising parallel support beams, with detachable support rods on both the front and rear sides between the two support beams, multiple detachable extension rods on the sides of the support rods, and connectors on both the front and rear sides of the support rods, which are detachably connected to the corresponding support rods and extension rods. The cooling tower fan support module, compared to traditional solid support rods, can reduce the use of overall raw materials through a special structural design while ensuring support capacity. It can serve as temporary support when installing the main beam of the duct support frame, facilitating the connection of the duct support frame, improving installation efficiency, and strengthening the load-bearing capacity of the connection points.
[0006] As existing devices are used, the shortcomings of this technology have gradually become apparent, mainly in the following aspects:
[0007] First, when installing the fan brackets on the top of existing integrated cooling towers, the fan brackets are all welded together. This makes the weld points prone to breakage due to the difficulty of the operation and the limitations of the welders' skill level. Also, the large size makes them inconvenient to load and transport.
[0008] Secondly, because the support frame sizes of the cooling tower ducts vary depending on the model, the existing fan brackets cannot be matched with the support frames of different sizes, which affects the assembly efficiency of the fans.
[0009] As can be seen from the above, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
[0010] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated cooling tower. This solves the problem that in traditional integrated cooling towers, the fan support at the top is welded during installation. This makes the weld points prone to breakage due to stress, which is limited by the welder's skill level. Furthermore, the large size makes it inconvenient for loading and transportation.
[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution.
[0012] An integrated cooling tower includes two parallel longitudinal frames and a transverse frame. The ends of the longitudinal and transverse frames are connected by a connecting component to form a rectangular support. Each inner corner of the rectangular support is inclinedly connected to a detachable fan duct support. The two ends of the fan duct support are slidably installed on the longitudinal and transverse frames through an adjustment structure.
[0013] As an optimized solution, the adjustment structure includes slide rails fixedly connected to the longitudinal frame and the transverse frame respectively. A slide block is detachably connected to the slide rail. The slide block is hinged to a first insert shell that is horizontally swaying through a hinge. An extension column is slidably connected to the end of the air duct support. The other end of the extension column is connected to the first insert shell.
[0014] As an optimized solution, the slide rail has a T-shaped cross-section, and the slide block has a groove on the side wall opposite to the hinge. The upper and lower inner walls of the groove near the opening end are respectively detachably connected with a locking block, and the slide block is slidably connected to the slide rail through the locking block.
[0015] As an optimized solution, the upper surface of the slide rail is provided with a number of positioning grooves arranged in parallel along its extension direction, and the slide block is threadedly connected with a positioning bolt that abuts against one of the positioning grooves.
[0016] As an optimized solution, the duct support includes a rectangular cylinder, and one end of the extension column is slidably inserted into the rectangular cylinder.
[0017] As an optimized solution, the extension column has several fixing holes arranged in parallel along the horizontal direction, and the fixing holes are connected to the duct support by bolt assembly.
[0018] As an optimized solution, the duct support has several duct fixing holes arranged in parallel along its extension direction.
[0019] As an optimized solution, the connecting assembly includes two second insert housings respectively fixed to the longitudinal frame near both ends, the two second insert housings being located on the same side of the longitudinal frame, and both ends of the transverse frame being respectively inserted into the second insert housings.
[0020] As an optimized solution, the first insert housing is provided with a first fixing bolt that connects to the extension post.
[0021] As an optimized solution, the second insert housing is provided with a second fixing bolt that connects to the transverse frame.
[0022] As an optimized solution, the slide block is provided with a third fixing bolt that connects to the locking block.
[0023] As an optimized solution, the first insert housing and the second insert housing are arranged in a rectangular shape.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0025] The rectangular bracket is assembled from two parallel longitudinal frames and a transverse frame, which not only reduces the size but also makes it easier to load onto vehicles. Furthermore, the longitudinal and transverse frames are connected by fixing bolts during assembly, which is convenient and quick, eliminating the need for on-site welding and reducing the difficulty of operation and the requirements for manual operation.
[0026] By setting up duct supports at the four corners of the rectangular frame, each duct support forms a triangular structure with the rectangular frame, which can improve the overall stability of the fan support. The duct supports can be adjusted to meet the fixed use of different duct volumes. It can also match the installation of duct support frames of different sizes, ensuring the assembly efficiency of the fan. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the integrated cooling tower includes two parallel longitudinal frames 1 and a transverse frame 2. The ends of the longitudinal frame 1 and the transverse frame 2 are connected by a connecting component to form a rectangular support. Each inner corner of the rectangular support is inclinedly connected to a detachable air duct support 10. The two ends of the air duct support 10 are slidably installed on the longitudinal frame 1 and the transverse frame 2 through an adjustment structure.
[0033] The adjustment structure includes slide rails 3 fixed to the longitudinal frame 1 and the transverse frame 2 respectively. A slide block 4 is detachably connected to the slide rail 3. The slide block 4 is hinged to a first insert shell 6 that is horizontally swaying through a hinge 5. An extension column 11 is slidably connected to the end of the air duct support 10. The other end of the extension column 11 is connected to the first insert shell 6.
[0034] The slide rail 3 has a T-shaped cross section. The slide block 4 has a groove on the side wall opposite to the hinge 5. The upper and lower inner walls of the groove near the opening end are respectively detachably connected with a locking block 15. The sliding block 15 is used to slide the slide block 4 onto the slide rail 3. This allows the slide block 4 to still be installed after the rectangular bracket is formed, without being affected by the installation sequence.
[0035] The upper surface of the slide rail 3 has several positioning grooves arranged in parallel along its extension direction. The slide block 4 is threaded with a positioning bolt 17 that abuts against one of its positioning grooves, thereby fixing the position between the slide block 4 and the slide rail 3.
[0036] The duct support 10 includes a rectangular cylinder, and one end of the extension column 11 is slidably inserted into the rectangular cylinder.
[0037] The extension column 11 has several fixing holes 12 arranged in parallel along the horizontal direction. The fixing holes 12 are connected to the air duct support 10 through bolt assemblies 13. The horizontally arranged bolt assemblies 13 do not occupy vertical space and prevent them from affecting the installation of the air duct support 10.
[0038] The duct support 10 has several duct fixing holes 14 arranged in parallel along its extension direction to improve the compatibility of fixing with the duct support 10.
[0039] The connecting assembly includes two second insert shells 8 that are respectively fixed to the longitudinal frame 1 near both ends. The two second insert shells 8 are located on the same side of the longitudinal frame 1, and the two ends of the transverse frame 2 are respectively inserted into the second insert shells 8.
[0040] The first insert housing 6 is provided with a first fixing bolt 7 that is connected to the extension post 11.
[0041] The second insert housing 8 is provided with a second fixing bolt 9 that connects to the transverse frame 2.
[0042] The slide block 4 is provided with a third fixing bolt 16 that is connected to the locking block 15.
[0043] The first insert shell 6 and the second insert shell 8 are arranged in a rectangular shape.
[0044] The aforementioned structure has holes or slots at the locations where bolts are used for connection. The method of fixing the rectangular frame to the cooling tower is the same as the existing fixing structure. Since it is not an innovation of this solution, it will not be described in detail here.
[0045] The working principle of this device is as follows:
[0046] The rectangular bracket is assembled from two parallel longitudinal frames 1 and a transverse frame 2, which not only reduces the size but also makes it easier to load onto vehicles. Furthermore, the longitudinal frame 1 and the transverse frame 2 are connected by fixing bolts, which is convenient and quick, eliminating the need for on-site welding and reducing the difficulty of operation and the requirements for manual operation.
[0047] By setting up duct supports 10 at the four corners of the rectangular frame, each duct support 10 forms a triangular structure with the rectangular frame, which can improve the overall stability of the fan support. The duct support 10 can be adjusted to meet the fixed use of different duct volumes; it can also match the installation of duct support frames of different sizes, ensuring the assembly efficiency of the fan.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not 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. 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, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
