[0004] The technical solution is as follows: a metal heat exchanger for medium-deep geothermal source technology, comprising a soil layer, a filling layer, and a metal heat exchanger, wherein the filling layer is cast between the soil layer and the metal heat exchanger, and the metal heat exchanger consists of a metal heat exchange tube and a medium conveying pipe; a first baffle plate is welded to each of the four corners of the inner wall of the metal heat exchange tube; a second baffle plate is welded to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the medium conveying pipe, and the first and second baffle plates are staggered; a heat exchanger reinforcing frame structure is also provided at the connection between the metal heat exchange tube and the medium conveying pipe; a T-shaped input pipe is installed on the upper left side of the metal heat exchange tube; an L-shaped output pipe is installed at the upper end of the medium conveying pipe; a sealing cap is bolted to the upper end of the T-shaped input pipe; and an adjustable temperature measuring frame structure is also installed on the inner side of the T-shaped input pipe and the metal heat exchange tube.

[0005] Preferably, the heat exchanger reinforcement structure includes a first reinforcing ring, a reinforcing support rod, and a second reinforcing ring. The first reinforcing ring is welded to the inner wall of the metal heat exchange tube; the reinforcing support rod is welded between the first and second reinforcing rings; and the second reinforcing ring is welded to the outer side of the medium conveying pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustable temperature measuring frame structure includes a mounting plate, wherein a drive wheel is axled on the upper part of the mounting plate; a rotating handle is installed at the middle of the front end of the drive wheel; a steel wire adjusting rope is sleeved on the lower outer side of the drive wheel; a lower guide wheel is provided on the lower inner side of the steel wire adjusting rope; a U-shaped metal clip is clamped on the outer right side of the steel wire adjusting rope; and a temperature sensor is installed on the U-shaped metal clip.

[0007] A heat exchange method for a medium-deep geothermal source technology includes the following steps:

[0008] Step 1: Install the equipment. Connect the right end of the T-shaped inlet pipe and the L-shaped outlet pipe to the external heat exchange components and the circulating pump. Then, supply the circulating medium from the top of the T-shaped inlet pipe into the metal heat exchange tube and the medium delivery pipe. The circulating medium should cover the transverse section of the T-shaped inlet pipe. Finally, install the sealing cap on the top of the T-shaped inlet pipe.

After passing through the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 in sequence, it enters the medium delivery pipe 4 from the bottom of the metal heat exchange tube 3. Then, it is discharged to the outer heat exchange component through the L-shaped output pipe 10. Then, the circulating pump is used again to send the discharged circulating medium back into the inner side of the metal heat exchange tube 3 through the T-shaped input pipe 9. The first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 can increase and improve the heat exchange effect of the metal heat exchange tube 3 on medium and deep geothermal energy.

[0036] Working principle

[0037] In operation, the right end of the T-shaped input pipe 9 and the L-shaped output pipe 10 are connected to the external heat exchange components and the circulating pump. Then, circulating medium is supplied from the upper end of the T-shaped input pipe 9 into the metal heat exchange tube 3 and the medium delivery pipe 4 until the circulating medium covers the transverse section of the T-shaped input pipe 9. Next, the sealing cap 11 is installed on the upper end of the T-shaped input pipe 9. Then, using pliers, the U-shaped metal clamp 126 is clamped onto the outside of the wire adjustment rope 124. The drive wheel 122 rotates the drive handle 123 clockwise around the wire adjustment rope 124, and the U-shaped metal clamp is adjusted at intervals of five to ten meters. The clamps 126 are installed sequentially so that the temperature sensor 127 can monitor the temperature of the circulating medium at different depths. The circulating medium is introduced from the T-shaped input pipe 9 by an external circulation pump and flows downward. After passing through the first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6, it enters the medium delivery pipe 4 from the bottom of the metal heat exchange tube 3. Then it is discharged to the outer heat exchange component through the L-shaped output pipe 10. Then, the circulating pump is used again to discharge the discharged circulating medium into the inner side of the metal heat exchange tube 3 through the T-shaped input pipe 9. The first baffle 5 and the second baffle 6 can increase and improve the heat exchange effect of the metal heat exchange tube 3 on medium and deep geothermal energy.
