Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular to a plate heat exchanger which is easy to disassemble and repair. Background Art
[0002] Plate heat exchangers are highly efficient and compact heat exchange equipment, widely used in industries such as industry, HVAC, and food processing. During operation, hot and cold fluids pass through the narrow channels formed between the plates to exchange heat. Due to long-term operation, the plate heat exchanger will have varying degrees of dirt and sediment on the surface of the plates, which need to be cleaned irregularly. Blockages and damage may also occur, requiring disassembly and maintenance.
[0003] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN112146487B discloses a plate heat exchanger for a geothermal reinjection system that is easy to disassemble. By setting a heat exchanger assembly, a snap mechanism and a driving mechanism, the operating block is moved upward so that the movable rod drives the positioning plate to disengage from the restriction of the limit rod, and the limit rod can be pulled out of the placement groove. At the same time, the driving rod is rotated to pull the movable plate out of the clamping of the heat exchange plate body, which solves the problem that the cleaning of the heat exchange plate of a conventional heat exchanger requires the removal of multiple bolts in sequence, which is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process and affects the disassembly and cleaning efficiency of the heat exchange half plate.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned publicly available scheme has the following shortcomings: after the movable plate is moved and disassembled, the lateral size of the area where the plate is located can only be increased. If the plate needs to be removed for cleaning and maintenance, the plates need to be tilted one by one so that the plates can be disengaged from the upper and lower guide rods before they can be removed. The operation of removing the plates is relatively troublesome, and when reinstalling them, they also need to be inserted at an angle and then straightened one by one, which is also relatively cumbersome.

At this time, the movable end plate is located above the upper guide rod, and then the right side section of the upper guide rod is folded upward. In this state, there is no restriction on the right side of the plate, and the plate can be pushed directly to the right and then quickly taken out from the gap left after the right side section of the upper guide rod is flipped and folded upward.
