Description

Technical Field

Heat exchangers play an important role in chemical, petroleum, power, food and many other industrial production. In chemical production, heat exchangers can be used as heaters, coolers, condensers, evaporators and reboilers, etc., and are widely used. A heat exchanger is an energy-saving device that transfers heat between two or more fluids at different temperatures.

The surface of the protective shell 5 is provided with a placement groove 6, and the placement groove 6 is a square groove structure. The surface of the placement groove 6 is provided with a top holding plate 7, and the top holding plate 7 is an arc-shaped plate structure. Structure, and the surface of the placement groove 6 is provided with a rotating rod and is rotatably connected to the top holding plate 7. There are two groups of placement grooves 6, and the two groups of placement grooves 6 are symmetrically distributed about the axial center of the heat exchange tube 1. An elastic sheet 8 is provided between the surface of the placement groove 6 and the surface of the top holding plate 7. The elastic sheet 8 has a "Z"-shaped plate structure. The limiting plate 9 is fixed to the surface of the top holding plate 7. The limiting plate 9 has an arc-shaped plate structure. The surface of the limiting plate 9 is provided with a guide plate 10. The guide plate 10 is an arc-shaped plate structure with a quadrilateral cross section.

[0031] The limit block 18 is provided on the surface of the card block 14, and the limit block 18 is located in the limit hole 12. Two groups of connecting blocks 11 are provided, and the limit hole 12 is located on the surface of the remaining group of connecting blocks 11.

[0032] Working principle: In actual use, refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, first, a sphere 2 is arranged on the surface of the heat exchange tube 1, and a circular hole 4 on the surface of the sphere 2 is connected to the heat exchange tube 1. The fluid in the heat exchange tube 1 is increased, so that the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger is larger during use, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency; the fins 2 arranged on the surface of the heat exchange tube 1 are more conducive to the heat dissipation of the heat exchange tube 1;

[0033] Secondly, place the two groups of protective shells 5 on the surface where the heat exchange tube 1 contacts the tube hole 21, and push the connecting block 11 toward each other until the limit block 18 passes through the limit hole 12 and is located in the connecting hole 13. Since the surface of the limit block 18 is provided with an arc surface, it is convenient for the limit block 18 to move into the limit hole 12. Under the action of the support spring 17, one end of the limit block 18 is located in the connecting hole 13, and the two groups of protective shells 5 can be fixed on the surface of the heat exchange tube 1. In addition, a damping block 22 is provided on the surface where the protective shell 5 contacts the heat exchange tube 1, which is more conducive to the fixation of the protective shell 5, so that the protective shell 5 will not be easily displaced from the surface of the heat exchange tube 1. When the protective shell 5 needs to be removed, the limit block 18 is pushed into the movable groove 15 to separate and remove the two groups of protective shells 5.

[0034] Finally, when the heat exchange tube 1 uses the baffle 20, one end of the guide plate 10 is moved toward the tube hole 21. Under the action of the elastic sheet 8, when the guide plate 10 moves into the tube hole 21, the guide plates 10 are squeezed toward each other until the guide plate 10 passes through the tube hole 21. The connecting block 11 and the limit plate 9 are respectively located at both ends of the tube hole 21. Therefore, the surface of the heat exchange tube 1 is not in direct contact with the surface of the tube hole 21, and the protective shell 5 effectively reduces the gap between the heat exchange tube 1 and the tube hole 21. Even if the tube bundle vibrates, under the action of the protective shell 5, the damage of the tube hole 21 on the surface of the baffle 20 to the surface of the heat exchange tube 1 is effectively reduced, thereby protecting the heat exchange tube 1.

[0035] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
