Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of heat exchanger tube threading technology, and in particular to an auxiliary tooling for heat exchanger tube bundle threading. Background Technology
[0002] The tube bundle in a heat exchanger is the core component for heat transfer, primarily transferring heat from one fluid to another through the tubes within the bundle. Cold and hot fluids flow in the tube side and shell side, respectively. The fluid flowing through the tube side is called the tube-side fluid, and the fluid flowing through the shell side is called the shell-side fluid. They exchange heat through the tube walls. A crucial step in heat exchanger manufacturing is the insertion of the tube bundle. Currently, during heat exchanger assembly, the tube bundle typically needs to be inserted through the circular holes in the tube sheet and baffles. However, due to the large number of these holes, the traditional manual insertion process places a significant burden on workers. Furthermore, tube bundle tilting and insertion failures frequently occur during insertion. Therefore, auxiliary tooling is needed for the tube bundle insertion process.
[0003] Application No. 202322629075.3 discloses an auxiliary tooling for inserting heat exchanger tube bundles, comprising a rectangular limiting outer cylinder, and multiple limiting rods evenly distributed within the rectangular limiting outer cylinder and arranged along its length. Tube bundle components for inserting the heat exchanger tube bundle are fitted within the multiple limiting rods. The multiple limiting rods have identical structures, each including two parallel horizontal rods and two parallel vertical rods connected between the two horizontal rods. A square mounting cavity is formed by the horizontal and vertical rods, with its center coaxial with the center of the rectangular limiting outer cylinder. Limiting blocks are provided on the horizontal and vertical rods, and a sliding groove for engaging the limiting blocks is provided on the outer wall of the tube bundle component. This utility model has a simple structure and reasonable design, achieving tube bundle component limiting for easy insertion of the heat exchanger tube bundle, ensuring the straightness of the inserted heat exchanger tube bundle, and improving the efficiency of subsequent assembly with the shell and tube sheet.
[0004] However, the aforementioned auxiliary tooling, when assisting in the tube bundle insertion, only controls multiple limiting rods and limiting outer cylinders to achieve the clamping of multiple tube bundles and complete the auxiliary tube insertion work. However, the entire process still requires the assistance of personnel to insert the tubes. When the heat exchanger shell diameter is large and the tube bundles are heavy, it will increase the workload of the personnel. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the auxiliary tooling for inserting tube bundles in heat exchangers;
[0016] An auxiliary moving component is provided, which can engage with the bottom of the partition. During tube insertion, the operator first engages all the tube bundles with the circular holes on the tube sheet, thereby engaging the top of the tube bundles with the outer partition. With the reinforcement component, the top of all the tube bundles is reinforced. Then, the auxiliary moving component is activated, which moves the top partition and the engaged tube bundles together. When the tube bundle moves to the position of another partition and the top passes through the upper circular hole, the reinforcement of the previous component is released, and the reinforcement component at the next partition position is activated. By repeating the above process, the tube insertion of all the tube bundles can be completed. In the whole process, only the initial tube insertion work requires the operator's assistance. Afterward, only the operator needs to observe. It is not necessary to insert each tube bundle throughout the entire process, making the operation convenient and labor-saving.
[0017] The limiting component is equipped with an adaptive mechanism that can be flexibly adjusted according to the different sizes of the tube sheet. Therefore, the entire auxiliary tooling can adapt to the tube insertion of heat exchanger tube bundles of different sizes, thus ensuring a wider range of applications for the entire auxiliary tooling.
[0018] Equipped with a lifting mechanism and a disassembly and installation mechanism between the entire reinforcing component and the auxiliary moving component, once the entire tube bundle is threaded through the tube, it is only necessary to separate the reinforcing component from the auxiliary moving component. Then, with the lifting mechanism in place, the entire assembled tube bundle component can be lifted, allowing it to be assembled and engaged with the external cylinder. This enables rapid separation from the tooling, thereby improving assembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0036] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0037] Please see Figure 1-14 This invention provides a technical solution: an auxiliary tooling for inserting tube bundles into a heat exchanger, comprising a fixed base plate 1, which is arranged in a rectangular plate structure for supporting and placing the entire tooling. The fixed base plate 1 has two symmetrically arranged limiting components 3 driven to move by adjusting components 6 at its top end. The adjusting components 6 are disposed in a hollow structure inside a fixed seat 2, which is located above the fixed base plate 1. An auxiliary moving component 4 is equally spaced between the two limiting components 3 for assisting in the insertion of the tube bundle. The area above the auxiliary moving component 4 and the limiting components 3 is used for placing the heat exchanger tube bundle assembly 5. 3 includes an adaptation mechanism and a lifting mechanism 36. The adaptation mechanism is used to flexibly adjust the heat exchange tube bundle assembly 5 according to different sizes. The lifting mechanism 36 is used to lift the heat exchange tube bundle assembly 5 after the tube insertion is completed. The heat exchange tube bundle assembly 5 includes a tube sheet 51 and a partition plate 52. Two tube sheets 51 are symmetrically arranged, and partition plates 52 are equally spaced in the middle of the two. The bottom of the partition plate 52 is engaged with the auxiliary moving component 4. A reinforcing component 10 is also provided on the outside of the partition plate 52. The reinforcing component 10 and the partition plate 52 are both located in the middle of the moving frame 41 and the fixed frame 42. The reinforcing component 10 and the partition plate 52 are made of the same material.
[0038] This application provides an auxiliary tooling for heat exchanger tube bundle insertion, comprising an auxiliary moving component 4 and a limiting component 3. Specifically, in use, the entire tooling is first placed in a suitable position under the action of the fixed base plate 1. Then, the heat exchanger tube bundle assembly 5 needs to be placed. During placement, according to the size of the heat exchanger tube bundle assembly 5, the two limiting components 3 are controlled by the adjusting component 6 to change position. After reaching the suitable position, the adapting mechanism is adjusted so that its size corresponds to the size of the tube sheet 51. Then, the tube sheet 51 is placed on top of the adapting mechanism. Afterward, according to the position of the auxiliary moving component 4, each partition 52 and the reinforcing component 10 are engaged with the auxiliary moving component 4. Then, the tube bundle insertion can be performed. During insertion, multiple tube bundles are first inserted through the tube sheet 51. The tube bundle passes through the round hole and then reaches the nearby partition 52 and reinforcement component 10. The tube bundle engages with the round hole above the partition 52 and is then fixed by the reinforcement component 10. At this time, the moving component 7 at the bottom of the partition 52 is activated, causing the partition 52, the reinforcement component 10, and the tube bundle engaged above it to move together. When it moves to the position of another partition 52, the tube bundle will directly pass through the round hole on the other partition 52 and be reinforced again by the reinforcement component 10. At this time, the moving component 7 at the bottom of the second partition 52 and the reinforcement component 10 is controlled to work again, so that the tube bundle can be moved and threaded through again. In this way, all the tube bundle threading work can be completed. In this application, the operator only needs to push the tube bundle to assist when threading the tube bundle between the tube bundle and the partition 52. The operator does not need to push the tube bundle continuously. The operation is convenient and labor-saving.
[0039] In this application, since the material and shape of each baffle 52 are the same as those of the reinforcing component 10, and the two constitute a flow baffle mechanism, and the adjacent flow baffle mechanisms are staggered vertically, the heat exchanger can force the fluid to flow through multiple baffles along a specified path when it is in use.
[0040] In this application, according to Figure 3-5 As shown, the adaptation mechanism includes a rotating mechanism 34 and a placement limiting plate 35. The outer side of the placement limiting plate 35 can rotate at different angles through the rotating mechanism 34. The top of the placement limiting plate 35 is arc-shaped. The placement limiting plate 35 is located inside the reserved groove 33. The reserved groove 33 is located at the top of both sides of the connecting seat 32. A sliding sleeve 31 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 32 and connected to the adjusting component 6. The rotating mechanism 34 is provided on the outside of the connecting seat 32 and connected to the placement limiting plate 35.
[0041] The rotating mechanism 34 includes a rotating motor 341, a rotating gear 342, and a meshing gear 343. The outer side of the rotating gear 342 meshes with the meshing gear 343, and the top of the meshing gear 343 is connected to the bottom of the placement limiting plate 35 via a shaft. The outer side of the rotating gear 342 is connected to the rotating motor 341.
[0042] Specifically, when the adaptation mechanism needs to be adjusted according to the different dimensions of the tube sheet 51, the rotary motor 341 needs to be controlled to work, so that it drives the rotary gear 342 at its top to rotate, which in turn causes the meshing gear 343 that meshes with it to rotate. In this way, the meshing gear 343 drives the placement limiting plate 35 connected to it on the same axis to change its angle. After reaching a suitable angle, the tube sheet 51 can be placed.
[0043] When the tube bundle is inserted and the tooling needs to be separated, then according to... Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 36 includes a lifting cylinder 361 and a lifting plate 362. The top of the lifting cylinder 361 is connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 362, and the lifting mechanism 36 is located in the middle of the connecting seat 32.
[0044] Specifically, simply activate the lifting cylinder 361, which will cause the lifting plate 362 at its top to move upward. This will push the entire heat exchange tube bundle assembly 5 to quickly separate from the adaptation mechanism and the auxiliary moving assembly 4, thus facilitating subsequent rapid assembly.
[0045] Furthermore, according to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, a moving component 7 is provided at the bottom center of the auxiliary moving component 4, and the top of the moving component 7 is connected to the bottom of the auxiliary moving component 4 through a middle slider 8. Connecting sliders 9 are also provided on both sides of the bottom of the auxiliary moving component 4 for sliding limit operation. The auxiliary moving component 4 includes a moving frame 41, a fixed frame 42, a moving plate 43, a fixed plate 44, and an auxiliary block 45. The fixed frame 42 is provided on the outer side of the moving frame 41. The moving plate 43 and the fixed plate 44 are respectively provided at the bottom of the moving frame 41 and the fixed frame 42. The auxiliary block 45 is provided at the top of the moving frame 41, and the top of the auxiliary block 45 is provided with a locking groove that engages with the push plate 101. The gap between the other side of the auxiliary block 45 and the fixed frame 42 is greater than zero. The bottom of the moving plate 43 is moved by a pushing component 11, and the pushing component 11 is provided in a sliding groove 81 inside the middle slider 8. The bottom of the fixed plate 44 is connected to the top of the middle slider 8.
[0046] The reinforcement component 10 includes a push plate 101, a through groove 102, and a friction arc block 103. The push plate 101 has through grooves 102 that correspond to the circular holes on the tube plate 51, and the size of the through groove 102 is larger than the size of the circular hole. Two friction arc blocks 103 are symmetrically arranged protruding inside the through groove 102, and the outer wall of the protruding friction arc block 103 is in contact with the middle of the circular hole.
[0047] The pushing assembly 11 includes a slider 111 and a pushing cylinder 112. The slider 111 is disposed inside the slide groove 81 and its outer side is connected to the pushing cylinder 112. The top of the slider 111 is connected to the bottom of the moving plate 43.
[0048] In the placement of the baffle mechanism, firstly, the push cylinder 112 on the push assembly 11 is activated, causing the slider 111 to slide inside the slide groove 81. This causes the slider 111 to move the moving plate 43 and the moving frame 41, creating a gap between the moving frame 41 and the fixed frame 42. Then, the push plate 101 and the partition plate 52 on the reinforcing assembly 10 are engaged between them, ensuring that the through groove 102 on the push plate 101 corresponds to the circular hole on the partition plate 52. The bottom of the push plate 101 is engaged in the engaging groove at the top of the auxiliary block 45. The partition plate 52 is located on the other side of the push plate 101. Therefore, when the tube bundle passes through the circular hole on the partition plate 52, it first passes through the through groove 102 on the push plate 101. After completely passing through the partition plate 52, the push assembly 11 is activated, causing the moving frame 41 to move the push plate 101 towards the position of the partition plate 52. The friction arc block 103 inside the through groove 102 engages with the tube bundle and the round hole to fix the tube bundle. Therefore, when the moving component 7 controls the auxiliary moving component 4 to move, it can also drive the tube bundle, the push plate 101 and the auxiliary moving component 4 to move together. After moving to the position of the next partition 52, the auxiliary moving component 4 at the bottom of the previous partition 52 is controlled to separate. When separating, the moving frame 41 moves, which will drive the auxiliary block 45 to one side. When the auxiliary block 45 moves, the engaging groove at its top engages with the push plate 101, so that the push plate 101 does not fix the tube bundle. Then, the push plate 101 on the current partition 52 is controlled to fix the tube bundle. The auxiliary moving component 4 can be activated to move all the tube bundles through the tube again, thus completing the entire tube insertion work. And no tilting will occur during tube insertion.
[0049] In this application, the gap between the top of the auxiliary block 45 and the fixed frame 42 is greater than zero. Therefore, when the partition 52 and the push plate 101 are initially placed, the partition 52 is set at the top of the auxiliary block 45, and the bottom part is supported by the auxiliary block 45, while the bottom part is suspended, which facilitates the subsequent movement of the auxiliary plate 45.
[0050] Among them, according to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the intermediate distance of the limiting component 3 is changed, two adjusting components 6 are symmetrically arranged inside the fixed base 2, and each component includes an adjusting motor 61 and an adjusting bidirectional lead screw 62. The top end of the adjusting motor 61 is coaxially connected to the adjusting bidirectional lead screw 62, and the outer side of the adjusting bidirectional lead screw 62 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the sliding sleeve 31.
[0051] Specifically, the adjusting motor 61 needs to be started, which drives the adjusting bidirectional lead screw 62 at its top to rotate. The adjusting bidirectional lead screw 62 is threadedly connected to the sliding sleeve 31, thereby causing the sliding sleeve 31 to move the connecting seat 32 at its top, thus achieving the effect of moving the adaptation mechanism and the lifting mechanism 36 on the connecting seat 32.
[0052] Among them, according to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the moving component 7 includes a drive mechanism 71 and a meshing mechanism 72. The drive mechanism 71 is located outside the meshing mechanism 72 and is used to control the movement of the meshing mechanism 72. An intermediate slider 8 is provided at the top of the meshing mechanism 72 and is connected to the bottom of the auxiliary moving component 4. The drive mechanism 71 includes a drive motor 711 and a drive gear 712, and the drive motor 711 is coaxially connected to the top of the drive gear 712.
[0053] The meshing mechanism 72 includes a meshing rack 721, a reset assembly 722, and a movable tooth block 723. The reset assembly 722 and the movable tooth block 723 are connected to each other on both sides of the meshing rack 721, and both the meshing rack 721 and the movable tooth block 723 mesh with the drive gear 712. The reset assembly 722 includes two rectangular blocks 7221, which are fixedly installed on the meshing rack 721 and the movable tooth block 723, respectively. A fixing post 7223 is provided in the middle of the two rectangular blocks 7221. One side of the fixing post 7223 is integrally installed with the rectangular block 7221 on the meshing rack 721, and the other side of the fixing post 7223 is slidably installed with the rectangular block 7221 on the movable tooth block 723. A reset spring 7222 is provided in the middle of the two rectangular blocks 7221.
[0054] When controlling the movement of the auxiliary moving component 4, the drive motor 711 needs to be started first, so that it drives the drive gear 712 at its top to rotate, thereby causing the drive gear 712 to mesh with the meshing rack 721, which in turn causes the meshing rack 721 to drive the middle slider 8 at its top to move, thus completing the movement of the auxiliary moving component 4.
[0055] In this application, both outer sides of the meshing rack 721 are connected to the movable tooth block 723 through the reset assembly 722. Therefore, when the drive mechanism 71 is not closed in time, the moving distance of the meshing rack 721 is fixed. Thus, when the operator does not close the drive mechanism 71 in time, it will not affect the entire tooling.
[0056] When the drive gear 712 meshes with the outer movable tooth block 723, the rectangular block 7221 on the movable tooth block 723 is reset under the action of the return spring 7222. As a result, the drive gear 712 continuously meshes with the movable tooth block 723, thus preventing the entire meshing mechanism 72 from continuously moving.
