Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of silicon carbide heat exchangers, and specifically to a silicon carbide heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] A silicon carbide heat exchanger is a new type of heat exchanger that uses silicon carbide ceramic material as a heat transfer medium. Due to the excellent properties of silicon carbide ceramics such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high thermal conductivity, high hardness, and wear resistance, silicon carbide ceramic heat exchangers are suitable for use requirements in high temperature and corrosion-resistant environments.
[0003] The patent with the publication number CN219511381U discloses an anti-corrosion and thermally stable silicon carbide heat exchanger, including a silicon carbide heat exchanger and a loading and unloading mechanism. The silicon carbide heat exchanger includes a housing and two fixed end covers. The two fixed end covers are respectively detachably installed at the left and right ends of the housing. The loading and unloading mechanism is arranged on the silicon carbide heat exchanger and is used for installing and disassembling the fixed end covers. The loading and unloading mechanism is divided into four groups, and the loading and unloading mechanism includes a first mounting block, and the first mounting block is fixedly installed on the outer side of the housing. By rotating the round rod forward and backward, the worm is driven to rotate forward and backward, thereby driving the fixed plate to lift and lower, so that the clamping rod is inserted into or disengaged from the clamping groove, and thus the installation or disassembly of the fixed end cover can be completed. The entire loading and unloading process is simple and convenient, solving the problem of time-consuming and laborious during the loading and unloading process by bolt fixation.
[0004] However, the following problems still exist during the implementation of the above device: The installation of the fixed end cover adopts a driving method of a worm and a worm gear, and subsequent screws and threaded sleeves are still used. Such a driving method still takes the bolt installation method as the main body, and the installation process is still relatively cumbersome. The whole-process snap-fit self-locking installation method cannot be adopted, which greatly reduces the installation efficiency. Moreover, a four-group fixing method is adopted, and the fixing points for the entire fixed end cover are very few. There are only two symmetrical groups of fixing points on each fixed end cover, which greatly reduces the stability and sealing performance of the fixed end cover during installation. For this reason, a silicon carbide heat exchanger is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Specific embodiments
[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] Embodiment Please refer to Figures 1 - 8, the present invention provides a technical solution: a silicon carbide heat exchanger, including a silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 and fixed end covers 2 arranged on both sides of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1. Both ends of the surface of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 are fixed with first flange plates 3. The side of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 and the fixed end cover 2 that are close to each other are in contact. Each group of fixed end covers 2 is fixed with a second flange plate 4. Sealing gaskets 5 are arranged on the sides of the first flange plate 3 and the second flange plate 4 that are close to each other. The adjacent sealing gaskets 5 are in contact with each other. A fixing ring 6 is fixed on the fixed end cover 2, and the side of the fixing ring 6 that is close to each other is fixed on the second flange plate 4. A quick locking assembly is arranged on the first flange plate 3 and the second flange plate 4. The quick locking assembly includes multiple groups of swing plates 8 that are evenly and rotatably installed on the side of the second flange plate 4 that is far from each other. One end of each group of swing plates 8 is fixed with a locking frame 9 that can be clamped on the first flange plate 3 and the second flange plate 4. Multiple groups of auxiliary springs 10 are fixed on the sides of each group of swing plates 8 and the fixing ring 6 that are close to each other. The number of locking frames 9 is at least five groups. The locking frame 9 is integrally in an arc structure. The number of auxiliary springs 10 on each group of swing plates 8 is at least two groups. The limitation on the number of locking frames 9 enables the locking frames 9 to be distributed at multiple positions on the first flange plate 3 and the second flange plate 4, improving the fixing effect. The locking frame 9 designed in an arc structure can make the locking frame 9 fit more closely with the first flange plate 3 and the second flange plate 4. And the limitation on the number of auxiliary springs 10 is to provide sufficient supporting force for the swing plate 8. Multiple groups of positioning square columns 17 are evenly fixed on the side of the second flange plate 4 that is close to each other. The end of the positioning square column 17 that is far from the second flange plate 4 sequentially penetrates through the sealing gasket 5 and the first flange plate 3 and extends inward. An auxiliary bearing 7 is arranged on the fixing ring 6. Multiple groups of driving frames 11 are evenly fixed on the outer ring of the auxiliary bearing 7. An L-shaped baffle 13 for clamping with the driving frame 11 is fixed on the locking frame 9. The end of the driving frame 11 in the L-shaped baffle 13 is in a rod-shaped structure. The two sides of the inner cavity of the locking frame 9 close to the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 are both in an inclined structure. The design of the end in a rod-shaped structure enables the driving frame 11 to move unobstructed in the L-shaped baffle 13. The design of both sides in an inclined structure enables the locking frame 9 to be clamped and positioned with the first flange plate 3 and the second flange plate 4 unobstructedly. A strip-shaped frame 12 is fixed at the end of the driving frame 11 that is far from the auxiliary bearing 7. A positioning frame 14 is inserted into the strip-shaped frame 12. Transverse through holes 25 are opened on both sides of each group of strip-shaped frames 12 and on the positioning frame 14. The design of the transverse through holes 25 facilitates the user to position the positioning frame 14 with an external auxiliary rod when pulling the positioning frame 14 out of the positioning square column 17, facilitating subsequent disassembly work. One end of the positioning frame 14 is inserted on the positioning square column 17. A support frame 24 is fixed on one side of the positioning frame 14. The end of the support frame 24 that is far from the positioning frame 14 penetrates through the L-shaped baffle 13 and is inserted on the locking frame 9. The driving frame 11 and the support frame 24 are in contact with each other. By setting the support frame 24, the driving frame 11 can be further supported and positioned.Effectively avoid the rotation of the driving frame 11. A first T-shaped rod 15 is inserted into the side of the positioning frame 14 away from the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1. A connecting plate is fixed to one end of the first T-shaped rod 15 close to the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1, and the connecting plate is fixed to the strip-shaped frame 12. A first spring 16 is wound around each group of first T-shaped rods 15, and both ends of the first spring 16 are fixed to the protruding end of the first T-shaped rod 15 and the positioning frame 14. The quick locking assembly further includes two groups of second T-shaped rods 21 symmetrically fixed to each group of strip-shaped frames 12 in the left-right direction. A lower pressing plate 19 is slidably arranged on the adjacent two groups of second T-shaped rods 21. A second spring 22 is wound around each group of second T-shaped rods 21, and both ends of the second spring 22 are fixed to the protruding end of the second T-shaped rod 21 and the lower pressing plate 19. A locking plug 20 is fixed to the side of the lower pressing plate 19 close to the strip-shaped frame 12. One end of the locking plug 20 away from the lower pressing plate 19 penetrates into the strip-shaped frame 12 and fits on the positioning frame 14. A square slot 23 for inserting the locking plug 20 is opened at one end of the positioning frame 14 close to the positioning square column 17. A plurality of groups of fixing frames 18 cooperating with the lower pressing plate 19 are evenly fixed on the first flange 3. The lower pressing plate 19 is integrally in an L-shaped structure. The L-shaped design of the lower pressing plate 19 can effectively prevent the lower pressing plate 19 from detaching when contacting the fixing frame 18. By setting the quick locking assembly, the entire installation process adopts a multi-point clamping method, and the locking frame 9 can be quickly and automatically locked after clamping. On the one hand, it ensures the convenience and rapidity of the installation of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 and the fixed head 2. On the other hand, the locking frame 9 designed in multiple positions effectively ensures the stability and sealing performance when the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 and the fixed head 2 are butted. A chamfer is opened at one end of the positioning frame 14 close to the positioning square column 17, and a chamfer is opened at one end of the positioning square column 17 away from the second flange 4. The design of the chamfer can enable the positioning frame 14 and the positioning square column 17 to be stably inserted into the positioning square column 17 and the first flange 3 respectively. A handle is fixed to the outer ring of the auxiliary bearing 7. The design of the handle facilitates the user to rotate the outer ring of the auxiliary bearing 7.,
[0020] Working principle: Under the elastic rebound action of multiple groups of auxiliary springs 10, a certain supporting force can be given to the swing plate 8, so that the swing plate 8 and the locking frame 9 can maintain a swinging state outward when the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 and the fixed head 2 are not docked. Then the user docks the fixed head 2 with the two ends of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1, and the positioning square column 17 will be pre-inserted on the first flange 3 until the sealing gaskets 5 on the first flange 3 and the second flange 4 are in contact. At this time, the user turns the handle on the auxiliary bearing 7 to drive the multiple groups of driving frames 11 on the auxiliary bearing 7 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the driving frame 11 will drive the locking frame 9 to swing, and the locking frame 9 will be directly clamped on the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. When the driving frame 11 swings, it will make the lower pressure plate 19 contact with the fixed frame 18 in advance, and as the driving frame 11 rotates to contact with the L-shaped baffle 13 and cannot continue to rotate, the fixed frame 18 in a fixed position will prompt the lower pressure plate 19 and the locking plug plate 20 to move a certain distance, so that they will rotate together. The locking plug plate 20 is driven to move, and the locking plug plate 20 is completely disengaged from the square slot 23, that is, the locking plug plate 20 is disengaged from the positioning frame 14, so that the locking state of the positioning frame 14 can be quickly released. At this time, the first spring 16 that has been in a compressed state will rebound quickly and push the positioning frame 14 to be quickly inserted into the positioning square column 17, so that the driving frame 11 and the positioning square column 17 can be quickly positioned to prevent the driving frame 11 from rotating, and the stability of the positioning square column 17 after insertion is simultaneously improved, so that the first flange 3 and the second flange 4 can be quickly fixed, and then the two sets of fixed heads 2 can be quickly installed on both ends of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1. The whole installation process adopts a multi-point clamping method throughout the whole process, and the locking frame 9 can be quickly and automatically locked after the clamping, which ensures the convenience and rapidity of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 and the fixed head 2 during installation on the one hand, and the multi-position design of the locking frame 9 effectively ensures the stability and sealing of the silicon carbide heat exchanger body 1 and the fixed head 2 during docking.
[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
