Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooling energy exchangers, and particularly relates to an energy exchanger for compressor cooling. Background Art

[0002] The high-pressure gas of a compressor is mostly cooled by a water-cooling method, that is, heat exchange is carried out by means of a water channel and an air channel to cool the high-pressure gas; however, due to the very high temperature of the high-pressure gas, after heat exchange by the cooler, physical changes of thermal expansion and contraction will occur in the core components of the cooler, which will cause extrusion between the cooling core and the housing of the cooler, thereby increasing the stress of the cooling pipe and shortening the service life of the cooling pipe. Therefore, in the patent "CN202370796U", "an air compressor cooler" is proposed. In this solution, by providing a telescopic groove, when the cooling core undergoes thermal expansion and contraction, its deformation can be absorbed by the telescopic groove, thus avoiding extrusion between the cooling core and the housing, so that no additional stress is generated on the cooling pipe and the service life of the cooling pipe is extended; however, when the energy exchanger (cooler) is installed and used, it is generally fixed to a connecting plate through a tightening rod, and the connecting plate is assembled with the installation surface. Since the size of the tightening rod is fixed, its flexibility in use is low, it cannot be adapted to the fixed installation of coolers with different pipe diameters, and it cannot be finely adjusted according to the actual use situation, so the flexibility in use is not high. The tightening rod is in long-term contact with the outer surface of the cooler, resulting in serious wear at the contact points and affecting the service life of the cooler; in view of this, we propose an energy exchanger for compressor cooling. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the connecting frame is an "L"-shaped rod. A fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame, and the other end of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the installation sleeve rod.

[0011] Preferably, a spacer is connected to the concave surface of the installation rod, and a connection hole is provided on the base.

[0012] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is installed on the housing. One end of the water inlet pipe is connected to a water delivery pipe. The water delivery pipe is wound around the outer wall of the cooling core. The other end of the water delivery pipe is connected to a water outlet pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0028] In this embodiment, hot air is introduced through the intake pipe 2 and flows through the diversion pipe in the cooling core 7. Cold water is conveyed through the water inlet pipe 4. The cold water cools the gas in the cooling core 7 through the transmission of the water delivery pipe 6. After the energy exchange, the cold water becomes hot and flows out through the water outlet pipe 5. The hot air flows out through the air outlet pipe 3. When the cooling core 7 undergoes thermal expansion and contraction, the outer part of the cooling core 7 is buffered by the buffer groove and the buffer pad 8, preventing the cooling core 7 from directly contacting the inner wall of the housing 1 and extending the service life of the cooling core 7.

A mounting groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the mounting rod 10, and an anti-collision pad is installed on the top inner wall of the mounting groove 16. The outer wall of the vertical rod 19 is adapted to be installed with the inner wall of the mounting groove 16, and the anti-collision pad is used to prevent the top of the vertical rod 19 from being damaged and to provide buffering protection for the top of the vertical rod 19.

The connecting frame 13 is an "L"-shaped rod, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 13, and the other end of the fixing block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting sleeve rod 12. The connecting frame 13 is used to provide support for the placement of the connecting bolt 14. A connecting bolt 14 is movably installed on the connecting frame 13, and a plurality of limiting holes 17 are opened on one side of the mounting rod 10 along its height direction. A groove 18 is opened in the mounting sleeve rod 12, and a positioning hole penetrating the mounting sleeve rod 12 is provided on one side of the groove 18.

The setting of the spring 15 is used to rebound the connecting bolt 14 and install it with the corresponding positioning hole and the mounting sleeve rod 12. The connecting bolt 14 penetrates the positioning hole and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole. The bottom inner wall of the groove 18 is connected to a vertical rod 19.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the shell 1 is installed at the position, it is assembled with the installation surface through the connecting hole on the base 9, and the connecting bolt 14 is pulled along the connecting frame 13, and the spacer 11 in the concave surface of the mounting rod 10 contacts the outer wall of the shell 1, so that the spacer 11 buffers the space between the shell 1 and the mounting rod 10, and the mounting groove 16 at the bottom of the mounting rod 10 is pushed correspondingly with the vertical rod 19 in the groove 18, and the pushing is stopped when the spacer 11 on the concave surface of the mounting rod 10 contacts the outer wall of the shell 1, and the connecting bolt 14 is loosened. The connecting bolt 14 passes through the positioning hole and a limiting hole 17 under the rebound of the spring 15, and the other end of the connecting bolt 14 is installed correspondingly to the positioning groove on one side of the vertical rod 19, so that the position of the mounting rod 10 can be determined, and the assembly is convenient and fast.
