[0031] Furthermore, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that mutually excludes other embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides an air preheater heat exchange element installation structure.

[0034] It includes the outer frame mechanism 100 and the mounting mechanism 200.

[0035] The outer frame mechanism 100 includes a frame 101. The top of the frame 101 has several slots 102. Each slot 102 is fitted with a heat exchange plate element 103. Adjustment slots 105 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 101. The bottom surface of the adjustment slots 105 has a guide groove 105a.

[0036] The mounting mechanism 200 includes clamping plates 201 symmetrically installed inside the adjustment groove 105. Each clamping plate 201 is provided with a locking element 202. The locking element 202 includes a telescopic cavity 202a left inside the clamping plate 201. A first spring 202b is embedded inside the telescopic cavity 202a. A locking post 202c is fixed to the top of the first spring 202b. A traction element 203 is provided at the bottom of the clamping plate 201. The traction element 203 includes a lifting rod 203a. A movable sleeve 203b is provided at the top of the lifting rod 203a. A second spring 203c is provided inside the movable sleeve 203b. A support rod 203d is provided on the outside of the lifting rod 203a. A support spring 203e is provided at the bottom of the lifting rod 203a.

[0037] Preferably, the elastic coefficient of the second spring 203c is greater than that of the supporting spring 203e, which can support the traction member 203 as a whole, avoiding the traction member 203 from falling under its own gravity when not subjected to the pressure from the heat exchange plate element 103, thereby causing the two clamping plates 201 to move inward and affecting the subsequent installation of the heat exchange plate element 103. Meanwhile, the selection of the supporting spring 203e with a smaller elastic coefficient than the second spring 203c can enable the second spring 203c to offset the supporting elastic force of the supporting spring 203e when the heat exchange plate element 103 is in the installed state, so that the traction member 203 can stably descend while avoiding the traction member 203 from rising again under the support of the supporting spring 203e, which can cause the clamping plates 201 to move outward and loosen the clamping of the heat exchange plate element 103 by the clamping plates 201, thereby ensuring the stable clamping use of the clamping plates.

[0038] Further, the clamping plates 201 are symmetrically arranged in an L shape on both sides of the heat exchange plate element 103, and the bottom of the clamping plate 201 is provided with a guide rail 201a which cooperates with the guide groove 105a at the bottom of the adjusting groove 105 to limit and guide the movement track of the clamping plate 201, thereby ensuring the stable movement of the clamping plate 201.

[0039] The inside of the bottom of the clamping plate 201 is provided with an opening which cooperates with the movable sleeve 203b, and the movable sleeve 203b is movably arranged on the top periphery of the lifting rod 203a. When the heat exchange plate element 103 is not installed, the movable sleeve 203b is located above the clamping plate 201 under the support of the second spring 203c. When the heat exchange plate element 103 is installed, the movable sleeve 203b moves downward to be parallel to the two clamping plates 201 under the pressure of the heat exchange plate element 103, and pushes the lifting rod 203a downward through the second spring 203c, thereby moving the two clamping plates 201 inward through the supporting rod 203d, so that the clamping plates 201 contact the movable sleeve 203b to form a complete plane and complete the clamping of the heat exchange plate element 103.

[0040] The top outer edge of the clamping column 202c is provided with a rounded corner, and the clamping column 202c and the telescopic cavity 202a constitute an elastic telescopic structure through the first spring 202b. When clamping the heat exchange plate element 103, the front end of the clamping column 202c gradually contacts the connecting end of the heat exchange plate element 103 as the two clamping plates 201 continuously move inward. At this time, the clamping column 202c can extrude the first spring 202b and move inward to the telescopic cavity 202a under the pressure. When the heat exchange plate element 103 is completely inserted, the surface of the connecting end of the heat exchange plate element 103 is in the corresponding position of the clamping column 202c. Finally, the clamping column 202c can extend into the heat exchange plate element 103 under the elastic support of the first spring 202b, thereby completing the assembly and fixation of the heat exchange plate element 103.

[0041] The support rod 203d is hingedly connected to the lifting rod 203a and the clamping plate 201 at both ends, and the lifting rod 203a and the clamping plate 201 form a linkage structure through the support rod 203d. When the movable sleeve 203b is moved downward under the action of gravity from the heat exchange plate element 103, the lifting rod 203a can be moved downward through the elastic transmission of the second spring 203c. At this time, the support rod 203d can rotate inward around the hinge point of the lifting rod 203a, and pull the two clamping plates 201 inward to clamp the heat exchange plate element 103.

[0042] In specific use, the frame body 101 is arranged inside the air preheater, the heat exchange plate element 103 is inserted into the frame body 101 from the slot 102, and with the insertion of the heat exchange plate element 103, the movable sleeve 203b is forced to move downward, and the second spring 203c drives the lifting rod 203a to move downward, and the second spring 203c offsets the supporting elastic force of the supporting spring 203e, so as to ensure the smooth downward movement of the lifting rod 203a. When the lifting rod 203a moves downward, the support rod 203d rotates inward around the hinge point between the lifting rod 203a and the support rod 203d, and pulls the two clamping plates 201 inward. With the continuous inward movement of the two clamping plates 201, the front end of the clamping column 202c gradually contacts the connecting end of the heat exchange plate element 103. At this time, the clamping column 202c can be pressed to extrude the first spring 202b and move inward to the telescopic cavity 202a under the action of pressure. When the heat exchange plate element 103 is completely inserted, the two clamping plates 201 contact the movable sleeve 203b to form a complete plane, and the surface of the connecting end of the heat exchange plate element 103 is in correspondence with the clamping column 202c. Finally, the clamping column 202c can be extended into the heat exchange plate element 103 under the elastic support of the first spring 202b, and the assembly and fixation of the heat exchange plate element 103 are completed. Through the linkage cooperation among the clamping plate 201, the locking piece 202 and the traction piece 203, the connection and locking between the heat exchange plate element 103 and the frame body during the hoisting process of the heat exchange plate element 103 can be automatically completed, the installation efficiency is high, and the stability of the heat exchange plate element 103 is ensured.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] Reference Figures 1-7 For the second embodiment of the application, the embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and is different from the previous embodiment in that:

[0045] The heat exchange plate element 103 further comprises a control piece 104 arranged outside the top of the heat exchange plate element 103. The control piece 104 comprises a T-shaped handle 104a penetrating into the heat exchange plate element 103, and a rotating disc 104b fixed to the bottom of the handle 104a.

[0046] Preferably, the knob 104a and the rotating disc 104b are integrally arranged, and the rotating disc 104b is a double-head cam structure, the cam structure rotating disc 104b is matched with the locking members 202 on both sides of the heat exchange plate element 103, that is, the clamping column 202c is in the rotating path of the rotating disc 104b, when the rotating disc 104b rotates, the clamping column 202c can be in contact with the clamping column 202c, so that the clamping column 202c is retracted to the inside of the telescopic cavity 202a under the pressure from the rotating disc 104b.

[0047] In specific use, the user can control the rotating disc 104b to rotate by 90° through the knob 104a, at this time, the clamping column 202c is retracted inwardly under the extrusion force from the outer edge of the rotating disc 104b, so that the clamping between the clamping column 202c and the heat exchange plate element 103 is released, at this time, the user can disassemble a single heat exchange plate element 103, through the linkage between the double-head rotating disc 104b and the clamping column 202c, the user can easily complete the unlocking of the single heat exchange plate element 103, which is convenient for the user to replace and maintain the heat exchange plate element 103 at any position.

[0048] Embodiment 3

[0049] Reference Figures 1-7 For the third embodiment of the present application, the embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and the difference between the embodiment and the previous embodiment is:

[0050] The bottom of the traction member 203 is provided with a horizontal plate 204, the horizontal plate 204 includes a lifting plate 204a in contact with the bottom end of the supporting spring 203e, the inside of the lifting plate 204a penetrates a guide rod 204b, and the guide rod 204b is fixed between the lifting plate 204a and the frame body 101, the inside of the lifting plate 204a away from the guide rod 204b penetrates a limiting rod 204c.

[0051] Further, the outside of the limiting rod 204c is threaded, the limiting rod 204c and the lifting plate 204a are screw-connected, when the heat exchange plate element 103 is assembled, the bottom end of the lifting rod 203a is in contact with the lifting plate 204a, and the lifting plate 204a can move up and down along the guide rod 204b through the screw cooperation between the lifting plate 204a and the limiting rod 204c.

[0052] In use, the user can rotate the limiting rod 204c, so that the lifting plate 204a rises with the rotation of the limiting rod 204c, and each lifting rod 203a is lifted, at this time, the lifting rod 203a moves to the inside of the movable sleeve 203b, and the supporting rod 203d rotates outward, so that the two side clamping plates 201 move outward to release the clamping limit of the heat exchange plate element 103. Through the lifting setting of the lifting plate 204a, each position lifting rod 203a can be lifted synchronously, and then the two side clamping plates 201 at the corresponding position can move outward, the synchronous unlocking of multiple heat exchange plate elements 103 is realized, the convenience of heat exchange plate maintenance is further optimized, and the use requirement of the user is met.
