[0002] Plate-fin heat exchangers are widely used in many industrial and living fields, and their use effect is remarkable. In the chemical, petroleum, electric power and other industries, plate-fin heat exchangers are key equipment for achieving heat transfer, which can effectively improve energy utilization and ensure the stability and efficiency of the production process. For example, in power plants, it helps convert the thermal energy of steam into electrical energy; in the refrigeration industry, it is used for cooling and condensation processes to provide a comfortable indoor environment. In addition, heat exchangers also play an important role in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, meeting people's needs for temperature control by regulating heat transfer.

[0003] The plate-fin heat exchanger in the prior art is usually composed of baffles, fins, seals, guide vanes, etc. These components form a sandwich between two adjacent baffles, called a channel. The heat of the medium on the high temperature side is transferred to the fins on the primary heat transfer surface (baffle), and the fins then transfer the heat along the height direction of their surface and transfer the heat to the medium on the low temperature side by convection.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, the channel shape of the plate-fin heat exchanger is fixed, so the achievable heat exchange effect cannot be changed according to actual conditions, so the temperature of the heated liquid cannot be accurately controlled according to actual needs, and the heated liquid output by the plate-fin heat exchanger will carry some waste heat, so there is a lot of waste in the utilization of heat, so improvements are made. Summary of the invention

Increasing the flow rate can enhance the turbulence of the heated liquid, thereby destroying the thermal boundary layer and increasing the heat transfer coefficient, thereby improving the heating effect of the heated liquid. When it is necessary to further improve the heating efficiency of the heated liquid, the angle between the third folding plate and the fourth folding plate is reduced by the second driving mechanism in the same way, thereby increasing the flow rate of the heated liquid in the heating channel, thereby further improving the heating effect of the heated liquid.

The first driving mechanism 2 is arranged together with the second driving mechanism. A mounting platform 19 is arranged under the box body 1, and a waste heat utilization mechanism 3 is arranged in the mounting platform 19.

[0030] In the prior art, the shapes of the heating channel 141 and the heated channel 131 are fixed and cannot be adjusted, so the actual working conditions they meet are relatively limited. In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 2 can adjust the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate to change the shape of the heated channel 131, thereby adjusting the flow path of the heated liquid. The second driving mechanism can adjust the angle between the third folding plate and the fourth folding plate to change the shape of the heating liquid channel, thereby adjusting the flow path of the heated liquid.

[0031] When it is necessary to improve the heating efficiency of the heated liquid, the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate is reduced by the first driving mechanism 2, the length of the heated channel 131 is extended, and at the same time the liquid input speed of the heated liquid inlet 17 is kept unchanged, thereby increasing the flow rate of the heated liquid in the heated channel 131. Increasing the flow rate can enhance the turbulence of the heated liquid, thereby destroying the thermal boundary layer and improving the heat transfer coefficient, thereby improving the heating effect of the heated liquid. When it is necessary to further improve the heating efficiency of the heated liquid, similarly, the angle between the third folding plate and the fourth folding plate is reduced by the second driving mechanism, and the flow rate of the heated liquid in the heating channel 141 is increased, thereby further improving the heating effect of the heated liquid.

[0032] While maintaining the heating efficiency of the heated liquid unchanged, this embodiment improves the heat exchange effect by changing the shapes of the heated channel 131 and the heating channel 141, thereby improving the utilization rate of the heat carried by the heated liquid and more accurately controlling the outlet temperature of the heated liquid. The temperature of the heated liquid output from the box body 1 is always greater than or equal to the heated liquid. The waste heat utilization mechanism 3 in this embodiment can further utilize the waste heat carried by the heating liquid output from the box body 1 to preheat the heated liquid to be input into the box body 1, thereby further improving the utilization rate of energy.

[0034] The driving assembly 25 can drive the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24 to move in opposite directions. Since the first rotating shaft 21 and the second rotating shaft 22 are respectively arranged on the first connecting rod 23 and the second connecting rod 24, the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate can be adjusted. At this time, the first rotating plate 12 and the second rotating plate 121 will extend or retract from the passive plate 122. When the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate changes, the shape of the heated channel 131 can be adjusted, and similarly, the shape of the heating channel 141 can be adjusted.

[0035] The driving assembly 25 includes a first electric telescopic rod 251, a second electric telescopic rod 252, a first push plate 253 and a second push plate 254. The first push plate 253 is slidably arranged in the first edge sealing plate 13, the first connecting rod 23 is arranged on the first push plate 253, the first electric telescopic rod 251 is arranged on the box body 1, and the telescopic end passes through the box body 1 and is connected to the first push plate 253, the second push plate 254 is slidably arranged in the first edge sealing plate 13 away from the first electric telescopic rod 251, and the first push plate 253 and the second push plate 254 are symmetrically arranged, the second connecting rod 24 is arranged on the second push plate 254, the second electric telescopic rod 252 is symmetrically arranged with the first electric telescopic rod 251, and the telescopic end passes through the box body 1 and is connected to the second push plate 254.

[0036] By starting the first electric telescopic rod 251 and the second electric telescopic rod 252, the ends of the first electric telescopic rod 251 and the second electric telescopic rod 252 are shortened, so that the first push plate 253 and the second push plate 254 can be moved away from each other, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 21 on the first connecting rod 23 and the second rotating shaft 22 on the second connecting rod 24 to move away from each other, thereby reducing the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate, and extending the length of the heated channel 131. By extending the ends of the first electric telescopic rod 251 and the second electric telescopic rod 252, the first push plate 253 and the second push plate 254 can be brought closer to each other, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 21 on the first connecting rod 23 and the second rotating shaft 22 on the second connecting rod 24 to move closer to each other, thereby increasing the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate, and shortening the length of the heated channel 131. Similarly, the length of the heating channel 141 can be shortened or extended.

The mounting platform 19 is filled with phase change material. The liquid outlet pipe 31 is arranged in two layers in a circuitous manner, and the liquid inlet pipe 32 is arranged between the two layers of the liquid outlet pipe 31.

[0038] After the heated liquid with residual heat outputted from the heating liquid outlet 16 enters the liquid outlet pipe 31, the phase change material in the mounting platform 19 is heated. The heated phase change material can preheat the heated liquid in the liquid inlet pipe 32 that is about to be input into the box body 1, thereby improving the utilization rate of energy and the heating efficiency of the heated liquid. The liquid outlet pipe 31 is arranged in a circuitous manner in the mounting platform 19, and the liquid inlet pipe 32 is arranged in a spiral manner in the mounting platform 19, which can increase the contact area between the liquid outlet pipe 31 and the liquid inlet pipe 32 and the phase change material, respectively, and further improve the utilization rate of the residual heat of the heated liquid. The liquid outlet pipe 31 is arranged in a circuitous manner in the mounting platform 19, and the liquid inlet pipe 32 is arranged in a spiral manner in the mounting platform 19, which can facilitate the transfer of the residual heat in the liquid outlet pipe 31 to the liquid inlet pipe 32, thereby improving the effect of utilizing the residual heat.

[0040] When the first temperature sensor 4 detects that the temperature of the heated liquid is lower than the set temperature, and the second temperature sensor 5 detects that the residual heat temperature of the heating liquid is higher than the set temperature, the telescopic ends of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod can be automatically shortened through electrical connection, thereby extending the lengths of the heating channel 141 and the heated channel 131. Therefore, real-time heat exchange balance can be achieved in cooperation with the residual heat utilization mechanism 3, thereby improving the utilization rate of heat.

[0041] When the lengths of the heating channel 141 and the heated channel 131 are both maximum, and the first temperature sensor 4 still detects that the heated liquid temperature output by the heated liquid outlet 18 still does not meet the setting requirements, and the second temperature sensor 5 detects that the heated liquid temperature output by the heating liquid outlet 16 also does not meet the setting requirements, the first temperature sensor 4 will reduce the amount of heated liquid input by the heated liquid inlet 17 through the first electric valve 6, and the second temperature sensor 5 will increase the amount of heated liquid input by the heating liquid inlet 15 through the second electric valve 7 until the real-time heat exchange balance is achieved in cooperation with the waste heat utilization mechanism 3.

The plurality of mounting columns 81 mount the plurality of first push plates 253 on the mounting frame 8, so that only one electric telescopic rod is needed to adjust the positions of the plurality of first push plates 253, thereby reducing the cost required for the production of the device.

[0043] The implementation principle of an energy-saving plate-fin heat exchanger in the embodiment of the present application is: When it is necessary to precisely control the outlet temperature of the heated liquid, the first electric telescopic rod 251 and the second electric telescopic rod 252 are started to shorten the ends of the first electric telescopic rod 251 and the second electric telescopic rod 252, driving the first rotating shaft 21 on the first connecting rod 23 and the second rotating shaft 22 on the second connecting rod 24 to move away from each other, the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate becomes smaller, the length of the heated channel 131 increases, and the ends of the first electric telescopic rod 251 and the second electric telescopic rod 252 are extended, that is, the first rotating shaft 21 on the first connecting rod 23 and the second rotating shaft 22 on the second connecting rod 24 move toward each other, the angle between the first folding plate and the second folding plate increases, and the length of the heated channel 131 is shortened. Similarly, the length of the heating channel 141 can be shortened or extended. The lengthening of the heated channels 131 and 141 can increase the flow rate and enhance the turbulence of the heated liquid, thereby destroying the thermal boundary layer and improving the heat transfer coefficient. The outlet temperature of the heated liquid is precisely controlled by changing the heat transfer coefficient.
