Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radiator technology, and in particular to a device for adjusting the inlet temperature of a compressor using an existing water source. Background Technology

[0002] Adjusting the compressor inlet temperature using existing water sources is achieved through the coordinated use of plate heat exchangers, water pumps, control valves, sensors, pipelines, and control systems.

[0003] Plate heat exchangers are highly efficient heat exchange devices widely used in industrial fields. They consist of a series of parallel metal plates with numerous corrugated fins. The staggered arrangement of these fins forms fluid channels. The working principle of a plate heat exchanger is to utilize the corrugated shape between the plates to increase the surface area for heat exchange, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. When the fluid flows between the plates, heat can be conducted through the plates to the fluid on the other side, achieving heat transfer.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, the plate heat exchanger and the duct are connected by flanges and bolts. If the plate heat exchanger is cleaned or repaired, multiple bolts need to be unscrewed with tools. The flange connection with bolts is also cumbersome to install and disassemble. Therefore, a device for adjusting the compressor inlet temperature using existing water sources is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "one 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 in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0028] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-7 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a device for adjusting the compressor inlet temperature using an existing water source. It includes a radiator 100, comprising a body 101, a base 102 disposed on the body 101, a flange 103 disposed on one side of the base 102, and a conduit 104 disposed on the flange 103. A locking groove 102a is provided on the base 102. The base 102 and the flange 103 are connected by two mounting mechanisms 200, which are symmetrically arranged about the flange 103. Each mounting mechanism 200 includes multiple locking hooks 201 disposed on the flange 103, a locking component 202 disposed inside the locking groove 102a, and a reinforcing component 203 disposed on the base 102. The locking component 202 includes... The locking plate 202a, located inside the locking groove 102a, enables quick fixing between the flange 103 and the base 102 by inserting the locking hook 201 on the flange 103 into the locking groove 102a and engaging with the locking plate 202a. The locking plate 202a has a slot 202a-1. The reinforcing component 203 includes a plug-in plate 203a located inside the locking groove 102a. The reinforcing component 203 limits the locking plate 202a by inserting the plug-in plate 203a into the slot 202a-1, thus preventing the connection between the locking plate 202a and the locking hook 201 from disengaging when the device is subjected to vibration, which would cause the flange 103 and the base 102 to lose their connection and affect the use of the device.

[0029] Specifically, multiple locking hooks 201 are provided, each consisting of an insert 201a and a crossbar 201b. One end of the insert 201a is connected to the flange 103, and the other end of the insert 201a is connected to the crossbar 201b. A first inclined surface 201c is provided on the crossbar 201b. The locking assembly 202 includes multiple second inclined surfaces 202c provided on the locking plate 202a, multiple limiting grooves 202d formed on the locking plate 202a, each limiting groove 202d consisting of a horizontal groove and a vertical groove. The second inclined surfaces 202c are located at the horizontal grooves, each second inclined surface 202c corresponds to one limiting groove 202d, and the second inclined surfaces 202c correspond to the first inclined surfaces 201c. A first spring 202e is provided at the bottom of the locking plate 202a. The end of the first spring 202e away from the locking plate 202a is connected to the inner wall of the locking groove 102a. When the locking hook 201 is inserted into the horizontal groove of the locking groove 102a, the multiple first inclined surfaces 201c on the multiple horizontal bars 201b contact the multiple second inclined surfaces 202c respectively, and drive the locking plate 202a to descend, so that the locking plate 202a compresses the first spring 202e. As the insert bar 201a drives the horizontal bar 201b to continue moving into the vertical groove of the limiting groove 202d, at this time, the horizontal bar 201b no longer squeezes the limiting groove 202d. Under the action of the second spring force, the locking plate 202a resets, so that the multiple locking hooks 201 are respectively locked in the multiple limiting grooves 202d, realizing the quick installation between the flange 103 and the base 102.

[0030] Specifically, the locking plate 202a has a first sliding groove 202a-2, and a first slider 202a-3 is provided inside the first sliding groove 202a-2. One end of the first slider 202a-3 extends out of the first sliding groove 202a-2 and connects to the inner wall of the locking groove 102a. The cross-sections of the first sliding groove 202a-2 and the first slider 202a-3 are both trapezoidal, and both the first sliding groove 202a-2 and the first slider 202a-3 are vertically arranged. The trapezoidal arrangement ensures the connection between the first sliding plate and the locking plate 202a, preventing the locking plate 202a from rotating when it moves. This increases the stability of the locking between the locking plate 202a and the locking hook 201 when the locking hook 201 is connected to the locking plate 202a and the locking plate 202a is squeezed by the first inclined surface 201c on the locking hook 201.

[0031] In use, when the locking hook 201 is inserted into the horizontal groove of the locking groove 102a, the multiple first inclined surfaces 201c on the multiple horizontal bars 201b contact the multiple second inclined surfaces 202c respectively. Under the action of the first sliding groove 202a-2 and the first slider 202a-3, the locking plate 202a is driven to descend, causing the locking plate 202a to compress the first spring 202e. When the insert bar 201a drives the horizontal bar 201b to continue to move to the appropriate position, the horizontal bar 201b no longer squeezes the limiting groove 202d. Under the action of the second spring force, the locking plate 202a is reset, so that the multiple locking hooks 201 are respectively locked inside the multiple limiting grooves 202d, realizing the rapid installation between the flange 103 and the base 102, and then realizing the installation of the pipe 104. The locking hook 201 can be aligned and inserted. Compared with the bolt installation in the prior art, this method of installation is faster.

[0032] Example 2, refer to Figures 2-7 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment includes a reinforcing component 203, which includes a plug-in component 203b connected to the plug-in plate 203a, and two self-locking components 203c disposed on the plug-in component 203b. The self-locking component 203c includes a concave plate 203c-1 disposed on the plug-in component 203b. By setting the plug-in component 203b and the self-locking component 203c, the locking plate 202a is limited, so that the locking plate 202a can no longer move. This avoids the problem that when the device is shaken, the connection between the locking plate 202a and the locking hook 201 will be released, thereby causing the flange 103 and the base 102 to no longer be connected, affecting the use of the device.

[0033] Specifically, the plug-in assembly 203b includes a drive plate 203b-1 connected to the plug-in plate 203a. A through slot communicating with the locking slot 102a is provided on the slide plate. One end of the drive plate 203b-1 away from the plug-in plate 203a extends out of the through slot. Two third inclined surfaces 203b-2 are provided on the plug-in plate 203a, located at the top and bottom of the plug-in plate 203a respectively. Two fourth inclined surfaces 203b-3 are provided on the slot 202a-1, with the positions of the two fourth inclined surfaces 203b-3 corresponding to the positions of the two third inclined surfaces 203b-2. The arrangement of the third inclined surfaces 203b-2 and the fourth inclined surfaces 203b-3 facilitates the insertion of the plug-in plate 203a into the slot 202a-1, thereby limiting the locking plate 202a.

[0034] Specifically, the drive plate 203b-1 has a mounting groove 203b-a. The self-locking assembly 203c includes a fifth inclined surface 203c-2 on the concave plate 203c-1, a sixth inclined surface 203c-3 on the base 102, the sixth inclined surface 203c-3 being located at the through groove and corresponding to the fifth inclined surface 203c-2, and a spring piece 203c-4 on the concave plate 203c-1. The two self-locking assemblies 203c are symmetrical about the drive plate 203b-1, and when locked, the two spring pieces 203c-4 on the two self-locking assemblies 203c are engaged. When the drive plate 203b-1 pushes the plug-in plate 203a into the groove, the self-locking assembly 203c is engaged. When the two concave plates 203c-1 are in slot 202a-1, the fifth inclined surface 203c-2 on the concave plate 203c-1 contacts the sixth inclined surface 203c-3 on the base 102, causing the two concave plates 203c-1 to move into the mounting groove 203b-a and press the two spring pieces 203c-4, causing the two spring pieces 203c-4 to deform. When the drive plate 203b-1 drives the plug-in plate 203a to insert into the appropriate position in slot 202a-1, at this time, under the action of the elastic force of the two spring pieces 203c-4, the two concave plates 203c-1 reset, so that the two concave plates 203c-1 are stuck at the through groove, thus preventing the drive plate 203b-1 from moving further.

[0035] The concave plate 203c-1 consists of a horizontal plate, a right-angled triangle, and a vertical plate. The horizontal plate and the right-angled triangle are connected by the vertical plate. The horizontal side of the horizontal plate is longer than the length of the sixth inclined surface 203c-3, ensuring that when the drive plate 203b-1 is inserted into the appropriate position, the horizontal plate passes through the mounting groove 203b-a under the action of the spring piece 203c-4, and the horizontal side of the horizontal plate contacts the outer surface of the base 102, so that the drive plate 203b-1 can no longer move. The fifth inclined surface 203c-2 is set on the right-angled triangle and is used to contact the sixth inclined surface 203c-3, thereby driving the vertical plate and the horizontal plate to move into the mounting groove 203b-a. When the drive plate 203b-1 moves to the appropriate position, the right-angled triangle pops out under the action of the spring piece 203c-4, and the plane of the right-angled triangle contacts the inner wall of the locking groove 102a.

[0036] Furthermore, a second spring can be provided inside the slot 202a-1. The spring force of the second spring is greater than that of the first spring 202e, and the size of the plug plate 203a is larger than that of the through slot. This allows the locking plate 202a to be released by simply pressing the horizontal plate of the concave plate 203c-1. The horizontal plate moves the right-angled triangle plate into the mounting slot 203b-a via the vertical plate, thereby releasing the lock on the drive plate 203b-1. Under the action of the second spring force, the plug plate 203a is squeezed out from inside the slot 202a-1, releasing the lock on the locking plate 202a.

[0037] Specifically, the self-locking assembly 203c also includes a second slide groove 203c-5 formed on the drive plate 203b-1, and a second slider 203c-6 disposed inside the second slide groove 203c-5. One end of the second slider 203c-6 extends out of the second slide groove 203c-5 and is connected to the concave plate 203c-1. The arrangement of the second slide groove 203c-5 and the second slider 203c-6 ensures the stability of the movement of the two concave plates 203c-1.

[0038] Specifically, the locking assembly 202 also includes a support plate 202f connected to the locking plate 202a. The end of the support plate 202f away from the locking plate 202a extends out of the locking groove 102a and is connected to a side plate 202g. The side plates 202g on the two locking assemblies 202 can be connected, so that when one is pushed during unlocking, both locking plates 202a can be moved simultaneously. When the plug plate 203a locks the locking plate 202a, the support plate 202f is in contact with the bottom of the flange 103, and the side plate 202g is located on the side of the flange 103 away from the base 102. The side plate 202g can also limit the flange 103, further increasing the stability of the flange 103 after installation.

[0039] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.

[0040] In use, by pushing the side plate 202g upward, the side plate 202g drives the locking plate 202a to rise via the support plate 202f. When the locking plate 202a rises, the locking hook 201 moves along the vertical groove of the limiting groove 202d, preventing unlocking. When the support plate 202f contacts the bottom of the flange 103, the drive plate 203b-1 is pushed, causing the drive plate 203b-1 to move the insertion plate 203a into the slot 202a-1. When the drive plate 203b-1 pushes the insertion plate 203a into the slot 202a-1, the fifth inclined surface 203c-2 on the concave plate 203c-1 contacts the sixth inclined surface 203c-3 on the base 102, causing the two concave plates 203c-1 to move into the mounting groove 203b-a and press the two spring pieces 20. 3c-4 causes the two spring pieces 203c-4 to deform. When the drive plate 203b-1 drives the plug plate 203a to insert into the appropriate position in the slot 202a-1, the two concave plates 203c-1 are reset under the action of the elastic force of the two spring pieces 203c-4, so that the two concave plates 203c-1 are stuck in the through slot, thus preventing the drive plate 203b-1 from moving further. This, in turn, limits the locking plate 202a by the drive plate 203b-1 and the plug plate 203a, preventing the locking plate 202a from moving. When the device is vibrated, the locking plate 202a cannot move under the restriction of the self-locking component 203c, thus avoiding the problem of the connection between the locking plate 202a and the locking hook 201 being released, which would cause the flange 103 and the base 102 to no longer be connected and affect the use of the device.

[0041] When unlocking is required, simply push the two concave plates 203c-1 into the mounting slot 203b-a. The drive plate 203b-1 will then pull the plug plate 203a out of the slot 202a-1, releasing the locking plate 202a from the lock. Then, pull the side plate 202g down. The side plate 202g will move the locking plate 202a downward, so that the horizontal plate of the locking hook 201 is located in the horizontal groove of the locking plate 202a. The flange 103 can then be quickly removed. (In the initial state, the height of the side plate 202g is just flush with the bottom edge of the flange 103. In this way, the side plate 202g will not only not affect the locking of the flange 103, but also play a role in positioning the flange 103, making it easier for the flange 103 to lock the locking hook 201 and the locking plate 202a.)
