[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a direct contact boiling heat exchanger, including a main body 1, a heat conducting tube 13 is connected inside the main body 1, the inner cavity of the main body 1 is divided by the heat conducting tube 13 to form a low-temperature gas buffer cavity and a high-temperature gas buffer cavity, the high-temperature gas buffer cavity is located inside the heat conducting tube 13, and the low-temperature gas buffer cavity is located outside the heat conducting tube 13, an exhaust pipe 7 and an air inlet pipe 3 are provided on the top of the main body 1, an exhaust pipe 28 and a hot gas exhaust pipe 27 are provided on the bottom of the main body 1, the exhaust pipe 7 and the exhaust pipe 28 are both connected to the high-temperature gas buffer cavity, the air inlet pipe 3 and the hot gas exhaust pipe 27 are both connected to the low-temperature gas buffer cavity, a reset unit is slidably connected inside the exhaust pipe 7, a filter unit is provided on the reset unit, a piston push unit is provided below the exhaust pipe 7, the bottom end of the filter unit passes through the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 7 and is transmission-coordinated with the output end of the piston push unit.

[0026] The high-temperature exhaust gas is introduced through the exhaust pipe 7 and filtered through the lifting filter mechanism, and then enters the high-temperature gas buffer chamber separated by the heat-conducting tube 13, and at the same time exchanges heat with the low-temperature gas entering the low-temperature gas buffer chamber in the main body 1 through the air inlet pipe 3. The exhaust gas that completes the heat exchange is discharged through the exhaust pipe 28 for subsequent purification treatment, and the heated low-temperature gas is discharged through the hot gas exhaust pipe 27 for utilization.

[0027] When the filter unit needs to be cleaned, gas only needs to be introduced into the piston push unit, and the output end of the piston push unit will push the filter unit out of the exhaust pipe 7, which is convenient for workers to clean and maintain daily. After the maintenance is completed, the gas in the piston push unit is discharged, and the filter unit is reset under the action of the reset unit.

[0028] The invention has a simple structure and high reliability, is convenient for daily cleaning of the filter, and improves work efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the reset unit includes a piston 24 that is slidingly sealed and arranged in the exhaust pipe 7. Both ends of the exhaust pipe 7 are connected with an annular plugging plate 16. A plurality of straight rods 22 are connected between the two annular plugging plates 16. The straight rod 22 passes through the edge of the piston 24, and the piston 24 and the straight rod 22 are slidingly sealed. A spring 23 is provided on the sliding sleeve of the straight rod 22. The top end of the spring 23 abuts against the annular plugging plate 16 located at the top end of the exhaust pipe 7, and the bottom end of the spring 23 abuts against the top surface of the piston 24. The filter unit is arranged on the piston 24.

[0030] The upper and lower annular plugging plates 16 are provided to facilitate the passage of the filter unit on the one hand, and to form a sealed shell with the exhaust pipe 7 on the other hand, so that the high-temperature exhaust gas introduced can be fully filtered through the filter unit. When the piston push unit is depressurized, the spring 23 reacts on the piston 24 and pushes the piston 24 downward until the bottom surface of the piston 24 abuts against the annular plugging plate 16 located below the exhaust pipe 7, completing the reset. The movement path of the piston 24 is controlled by the provided straight rod 22. It should be noted that the piston 24 is made of galvanized iron metal, and an O-ring is sleeved on the edge of the piston 24 to achieve sliding sealing cooperation with the inside of the exhaust pipe 7. When the piston push unit is working, the gas pressure in the exhaust pipe 7 and the compression force of the spring 23 are less than the gas pressure inside the piston push unit.

[0031] Furthermore, the filter unit includes a straight pipe 19, a piston 24 is fixedly sleeved on the straight pipe 19, the top end of the straight pipe 19 is connected to the filter element 25, the bottom end of the straight pipe 19 passes through the annular plugging plate 16 located at the bottom end of the exhaust pipe 7, and the bottom end of the straight pipe 19 is connected to the telescopic end of the piston pushing unit; a plurality of air outlet holes 8 are opened on the outer wall of the straight pipe 19, the air outlet holes 8 are located below the exhaust pipe 7, and the straight pipe 19 is connected to the high-temperature gas buffer chamber through the air outlet holes 8.

[0032] The straight pipe 19 is provided so that the gas filtered by the filter element 25 can flow downward along the inner wall of the straight pipe 19 and enter the high-temperature gas buffer chamber through a plurality of gas outlet holes 8 to filter the high-temperature exhaust gas.

[0033] Furthermore, the piston pushing unit includes a piston cylinder 17, and the exhaust pipe 7 and the main body 1 are coaxially arranged with the piston cylinder 17. A piston rod 30 is slidably connected in the piston cylinder 17, and a piston 18 is fixedly sleeved on the piston rod 30. The piston 18 is slidably sealed with the inner wall of the piston cylinder 17. The top end of the piston rod 30 passes through the inner top wall of the piston cylinder 17 and is connected to the bottom end of the straight tube 19. A plurality of exhaust holes 29 are opened on the top wall of the piston cylinder 17. The bottom end of the piston cylinder 17 is connected to a plurality of connecting pipes 5. The ends of the connecting pipes 5 pass through the bottom wall of the main body 1 and are connected to the low-temperature gas buffer chamber. Solenoid valves are provided on the connecting pipes 5 and the piston 18.

[0034] The electromagnetic valve on the connecting pipe 5 is opened to allow the heated low-temperature gas to enter the piston cylinder 17 and gather in a limited space to increase the pressure in the piston cylinder 17. At this time, the electromagnetic valve on the piston 18 is in a closed state. The piston 18 moves upward along the inner wall of the piston cylinder 17 under the push of the gas and drives the piston rod 30 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 23 and the gas pressure in the exhaust pipe 7 so that the straight pipe 19 drives the filter element 25 to extend out of the exhaust pipe 7, completing the lifting of the filter element 25. When the filter element 25 needs to be lowered, the electromagnetic valve on the piston 18 is opened to release the pressure. The gas in the lower space of the piston 18 instantly passes through the electromagnetic valve on the piston 18 and is discharged from the piston cylinder 17 through the exhaust hole 29. At this time, the spring 23 reacts on the piston 24 and pushes the piston 24 downward until the bottom surface of the piston 24 abuts against the annular plugging plate 16 located below the exhaust pipe 7, and the filter element 25 is retracted into the exhaust pipe 7 to complete the reset. It should be noted that the material and structure of the piston 18 are the same as those of the piston 24.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the main body 1 is connected to a plurality of circular tubes 6 , which are connected to the low-temperature gas buffer chamber. The bottom end of the circular tube 6 is connected to an end of the connecting tube 5 away from the piston cylinder 17 , and the solenoid valve is arranged at the connection between the circular tube 6 and the connecting tube 5 .

[0036] Furthermore, a heat-conducting member is sleeved on the piston cylinder 17, and the heat-conducting member is arranged in the heat-conducting cylinder 13. A water storage cavity is arranged in the heat-conducting member, and the water storage cavity is connected to a circulating water component.

[0037] Furthermore, the heat conducting member is a spiral heat pipe 12 .

[0038] Furthermore, the circulating water assembly includes a water tank 2, the top of the water tank 2 is connected to the upper end of the spiral heat pipe 12 through an upper water pipe 10, the bottom of the water tank 2 is connected to the lower end of the spiral heat pipe 12 through a lower water pipe 9, and a circulating water pump 20 is provided on the upper water pipe 10.

[0039] The high-temperature gas entering the heat-conducting tube 13 is heat-conducted by the spiral heat pipe 12 to achieve heat exchange with the water in the spiral heat pipe 12. At the same time, the circulation of the water in the water tank 2 is accelerated by the circulating water pump 20, further improving the heat exchange efficiency, so that the water is heated and utilized.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to control the amount of low-temperature gas introduced and ensure the heat exchange effect, an electromagnetic valve 11 is provided on the air inlet pipe 3 .

[0041] The direct contact boiling heat exchanger provided by the present invention has the following working principle: when in use, high-temperature exhaust gas is introduced into the exhaust pipe 7, the high-temperature exhaust gas is filtered by the filter element 25, and then the gas goes down along the inner wall of the straight pipe 19, and enters the high-temperature gas buffer chamber through a plurality of air outlet holes 8 to filter the high-temperature exhaust gas, and transfers the heat to the spiral heat pipe 12 and the heat-conducting tube 13. At this time, the circulating water pump 20 is started to circulate the water in the water tank 2 in the spiral heat pipe 12 to achieve heat exchange and temperature rise; the solenoid valve 11 is controlled to open the low-temperature gas to enter the high-temperature gas buffer chamber through the air inlet pipe 3, and the low-temperature gas is in direct contact with the heat-conducting tube 13 to achieve heat exchange and heat up the low-temperature gas. When it is necessary to clean the filter element 25, the solenoid valve on the circular tube 6 is opened, and the heated gas is introduced into the piston cylinder 17, and the gas is gathered in a limited space to increase the pressure in the piston cylinder 17. At this time, the solenoid valve on the piston 18 is in a closed state, and the piston 18 is in a closed state. The filter element 25 is then retracted into the exhaust pipe 7 and the exhaust gas is retracted.
