Detailed implementation manners

[0023] 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 of 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.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1 to 6, this embodiment discloses a plate-shell heat exchanger, which includes a housing 100. One end of the housing 100 is provided with an opening 101, and a cover plate 200 covering the opening 101 is arranged at the opening 101. An installation rod 104 is inserted into the bottom of the housing 100, and the other end of the installation rod 104 is inserted and matched with the cover plate 200. A plurality of heat exchange elements 103 arranged at equal intervals are connected to the installation rod 104. The heat exchange element 103 is composed of two plate pieces. The edges of the two plate pieces are connected by welding and a hole for the installation rod 104 to pass through is opened in the middle. The housing 100 is connected with two first connection ports 110, and the two first connection ports 110 are respectively a shell-side inlet and a shell-side outlet. The cover plate 200 is connected with two second connection ports 210, and the two second connection ports 210 are respectively a plate-side inlet and a plate-side outlet.

[0025] The cover plate 200 is provided with a first sealing portion 220 embedded in the opening 101. The inner wall of the housing 100 is provided with a first step portion 120. The first step portion 120 is provided with a sealing groove 121, and a sealing ring 122 is embedded in the sealing groove 121. The first sealing portion 220 abuts against the sealing ring 122. The sealing ring 122 is made of rubber and has elasticity. When the sealing ring 122 is embedded in the sealing groove 121, a part of the sealing ring 122 extends out of the sealing groove 121. When the cover plate 200 is installed in the opening 101, the first sealing portion 220 and the first step portion 120 enable the first sealing portion 220 to squeeze the sealing ring 122 to cause the sealing ring 122 to deform, so as to fill the gap between the sealing groove 121 and the first sealing portion 220, and ensure the sealing ability of the cover plate 200 for the opening 101.

[0026] The edge of the cover plate 200 is provided with a second step portion 202. The second step portion 202 extends towards the housing 100 so that when the cover plate 200 is installed in the opening 101, the inner wall of the second step portion 202 fits against the outer wall of the housing 100, thereby strengthening the connection stability between the housing 100 and the cover plate 200. The outer wall of the second step portion 202 is connected with a limit ring 300 through a bearing 310, so that the limit ring 300 can rotate relative to the second step portion 202. At the same time, a handle 201 is arranged on the outer wall of the limit ring 300, which can facilitate the rotation of the limit ring 300. One end of the limit ring 300 facing the housing 100 is connected with a first limit block 320 extending towards the outer wall of the housing 100. The outer wall of the housing 100 is provided with a second limit block 500. The outer wall of the housing 100 is provided with a first guide groove 130. A first guide rod 131 is arranged in the first guide groove 130. The second limit block 500 is provided with a first guide block 501 embedded in the first guide groove 130. The first guide rod 131 passes through the first guide block 501, which can prevent the first guide block 501 from shifting when moving. A first spring 132 is arranged in the first guide groove 130. The first spring 132 is sleeved on the first guide rod 131, and the first spring 132 can push the first guide block 501 to move downward.

[0027] A first inclined surface 510 is provided on the lower end surface of the second limiting block 500. Under normal conditions, the second limiting block 500 and the first limiting block 320 are arranged vertically offset. The second limiting block 500 is slightly higher than the first limiting block 320 so that the first limiting block 320 can contact the first inclined surface 510. After the first sealing portion 220 is inserted into the opening 101, rotating the limiting ring 300 can drive the rotation of the first limiting block 320. When the first limiting block 320 collides with the second limiting block 500, the first limiting block 320 moves along the first inclined surface 510 to the lower side of the second limiting block 500. Under the action of the first spring 132, the first limiting block 320 remains in contact with the second limiting block 500, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the cover plate 200 and the housing 100.

[0028] A through expansion slot 102 is provided in the side wall of the housing 100. A first positioning rod 700 is arranged in the expansion slot 102. A second guiding slot 140 is provided in the side wall of the expansion slot 102. A second guiding rod 141 is arranged in the second guiding slot 140. The first positioning rod 700 is provided with a second guiding block 710 inserted into the second guiding slot 140. The second guiding rod 141 passes through the second guiding block 710, which can prevent the second guiding block 710 from shifting when moving. A second spring 142 sleeved on the second guiding rod 141 is arranged in the second guiding slot 140. The two ends of the second spring 142 are respectively in contact with the second guiding block 710 and one end of the second guiding slot 140 facing the inside of the housing 100, so as to be able to push the second guiding block 710 and the first positioning rod 700 to move towards the outside of the housing 100. The first sealing portion 220 is provided with a downward extending second sealing portion 230. The second sealing portion 230 fits with the inner wall of the first step portion 120 to ensure the sealing performance. A first positioning groove 231 corresponding to the position of the first positioning rod 700 is provided on the side wall of the second sealing portion 230. When the first positioning rod 700 is inserted into the first positioning groove 231, the movement of the cover plate 200 can be restricted, thereby ensuring the connection stability and sealing performance between the cover plate 200 and the housing 100.

[0029] A support ring 400 is connected to the outer wall of the housing 100. The support ring 400 is provided with a movable third limiting block 600. A second inclined surface 610 is provided on the side of the third limiting block 600 facing the housing 100. The second inclined surface 610 abuts against the first positioning rod 700. By moving the third limiting block 600, the movement of the first positioning rod 700 can be driven, so that the first positioning rod 700 can be inserted into or pulled out of the first positioning groove 231, realizing the locking and unlocking of the cover plate 200.

[0030] The support ring 400 includes a first ring body 410 connecting to the housing 100 and a second ring body 420 connecting to the first ring body 410. The first ring body 410 is provided with a second positioning rod 411 extending towards the third limiting block 600. The third limiting block 600 is provided with a second positioning groove 640 corresponding to the position of the second positioning rod 411. The second positioning rod 411 is inserted into the second positioning groove 640. A third spring 412 is sleeved on the second positioning rod 411. The two ends of the third spring 412 respectively abut against the third limiting block 600 and the first ring body 410, so as to be able to push the third limiting block 600 to move towards the first limiting block 320. At the same time, a third guiding groove 421 is provided on the second ring body 420, and the third limiting block 600 is provided with a third guiding block 630 embedded in the third guiding groove 421. Through the cooperation of the third guiding groove 421 and the third guiding block 630, it can prevent the third guiding block 630 from generating an offset during movement and ensure the stability of the movement of the third guiding block 630.

[0031] The third limiting block 600 and the first limiting block 320 are arranged vertically offset. The first limiting block 320 is slightly higher than the third limiting block 600. The upper end surface of the third limiting block 600 is provided with a third inclined surface 620. When the first limiting block 320 rotates with the limiting ring 300 and collides with the third limiting block 600, the first limiting block 320 moves along the third inclined surface 620 to above the third limiting block 600, so that the first limiting block 320 pushes the third limiting block 600 to move downward, thereby pushing the first positioning rod 700 to move. At the same time, under the action of the third spring 412, the third limiting block 600 and the first limiting block 320 remain in contact, so that the first positioning rod 700 remains in the state of being inserted into the first positioning groove 231, thereby locking the cover plate 200.

[0032] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
