[0015] 1. The shell-and-tube heat exchanger convenient to maintain is provided with a heat transfer mechanism, the continuous impact force of the cold fluid is used to make the moving sleeve move on the connecting shaft and move following the impact force of the cold fluid, so that the moving sleeve moves through the connecting frame and the connecting plate, drives the scraper to move in contact with the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe, and the boundary layer is formed on the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe when the cold fluid flows, which hinders heat transfer; the scraper moves along the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe under the action of the impact force of the cold fluid, can destroy the boundary layer, makes the heat exchange between the cold fluid and the pipe wall more sufficient, strengthens the heat transfer process, and improves the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger.

The shell-and-tube heat exchanger convenient to maintain is provided with two connecting plates, and the two connecting plates are oppositely arranged, so that the normal passing speed of the cold fluid is not interfered when the cold fluid passes through the heat transfer pipe. The two connecting plates are oppositely arranged, so that the interference of the two connecting plates to the cold fluid is counteracted or weakened.

When the rotating frame drives the cleaning brush to rotate, the rotating rod can be used as the center to clean the inner wall of the second tube box in 360 degrees, so that the cleaning dead angle is avoided. Compared with manual cleaning, this method can clean each part of the inner wall of the second tube box more quickly and more comprehensively, greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and the equipment maintenance time, and the rotating cleaning brush can generate a certain friction force and pressure when contacting the inner wall of the second tube box, so that the stubborn dirt and deposits can be effectively removed.

The bending plate one and the bending plate two are respectively arranged on the inner side of the collecting shell, and the bending plate one is arranged close to the baffle. When the baffle is impacted and moves towards the collecting shell, the baffle drives the contact plate to separate from the bending plate one and contact the bending plate two, so that the impurities are guided to gather on the inner side of the collecting shell, the impurities are collected in a targeted manner, the impurities are not dispersed in the second tube box, and the subsequent unified treatment of the impurities is facilitated.

When the rotating rod 741 drives the collecting shell 751 to rotate under the action of centrifugal force, the baffle 754 moves towards the inner side of the collecting shell 751 when continuously impacting and extruding the cold fluid after heat exchange, and the baffle 754 drives the contact plate 755 to move in the inner side of the collecting shell 751 through the connecting shaft 752, so that the side surface of the contact plate 755 is separated from the bent plate one 756 and abuts against the side surface of the bent plate two 757, so that the cold fluid after heat exchange continuously enters the collecting shell 751, thereby collecting the impurities in the cold fluid after heat exchange. The circular holes are uniformly arranged on the side surface of the collecting shell 751 and the side surface of the baffle 754, so that the fluid in the inner cavity of the collecting shell 751 can flow out.

[0044] The specific working process is as follows:

[0045] The hot fluid is delivered from the external system to the water inlet 5 of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger through the pipeline, and enters the shell side in the main body 1. The hot fluid flows in the space between the shell of the main body 1 and the heat transfer pipe 931, and in the process of flowing, the hot fluid contacts the outer surface of the heat transfer pipe 931. The baffle 92 is arranged in the shell side of the main body 1, so that the hot fluid flows along a specific path, increases the residence time and disturbance degree of the hot fluid in the shell side of the main body 1, and strengthens the heat transfer effect. The hot fluid flows tortuously in the shell of the main body 1 under the guidance of the baffle 92, and constantly exchanges heat with the tube bundle;

[0046] The cold fluid is also delivered from the external system to the heat exchanger through the pipeline, and enters the tube box one 3 through the fluid interface 4;

[0047] Similarly to the hot fluid, the cold fluid flows in the tube side of the heat transfer pipe 931, and in the process of flowing, the cold fluid contacts the tube wall of the heat transfer pipe 931 and absorbs the heat transferred by the hot fluid, so that the temperature of the cold fluid increases;

[0048] In the process of flowing of the hot fluid and the cold fluid in the respective channels, heat is transferred through the tube wall of the heat transfer pipe 931. The temperature of the hot fluid is higher than that of the cold fluid. According to the heat conduction principle, heat is transferred from the hot fluid side to the cold fluid side through the tube wall of the heat transfer pipe 931, so that the temperature of the hot fluid decreases and the temperature of the cold fluid increases;

[0049] After the heat exchange in the heat exchanger, the temperature of the hot fluid decreases and the temperature of the cold fluid increases, and then the hot fluid and the cold fluid flow out of the heat exchanger main body 1 from the respective shell side and tube side of the heat transfer pipe 931 respectively, and enter the subsequent process flow or system;

[0050] The cold fluid first enters the tube box one 3 through the fluid interface 4, and then enters the heat transfer mechanism 93 through the tube side inlet of the tube box one 3. The tube side inlet of the tube box one 3 is usually designed with a distributor, which uniformly distributes the entering cold fluid to each heat transfer mechanism 93, so as to ensure that each heat transfer mechanism 93 has a suitable flow of cold fluid, avoiding the problem of poor local heat exchange caused by uneven flow;

[0051] At the same time, the cold fluid continuously enters the heat transfer pipe 931, and through the continuous impact force of the cold fluid, the moving assembly 936 moves on the connecting shaft 934 following the impact force of the cold fluid, and pulls the first spring 935, so that when the cold fluid passes through the heat transfer pipe 931, the moving assembly 936 can clean the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931;

[0052] The continuous impact force of the cold fluid makes the moving sleeve 9361 move on the connecting shaft 934, following the impact force of the cold fluid, so that the moving sleeve 9361 drives the scraper 9365 to move in contact with the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931 through the connecting frame 9362 and the connecting plate 9363. When the cold fluid flows, a boundary layer will be formed on the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931, which will hinder heat transfer. The scraper 9365 moves along the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931 under the action of the impact force of the cold fluid, which can destroy the boundary layer and make the heat exchange between the cold fluid and the pipe wall more sufficient, thereby strengthening the heat transfer process and improving the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0053] During the operation of the heat exchanger, dirt deposition may occur on the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931, affecting the heat transfer efficiency. The scraper 9365 moves in contact with the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931, which can timely remove the dirt, impurities and other substances attached to the pipe wall, prevent the accumulation of dirt, keep the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931 clean, and prolong the effective operation time of the heat exchanger.

[0054] For some fluids containing solid particles or prone to crystallization, the scraper 9365 can play a role in dredging the pipe to prevent solid particles from accumulating or crystalline substances from blocking the heat transfer pipe 931, ensuring the normal flow of the cold fluid and maintaining the stable operation of the heat exchanger.

[0055] Since the scraper 9365 can automatically remove dirt and prevent blockage, the frequency of manual cleaning and maintenance is reduced, which not only reduces the work intensity of maintenance personnel, but also reduces the production loss caused by downtime maintenance and reduces the overall maintenance cost.

[0056] Keeping the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931 clean and having good heat transfer effect helps the cold fluid achieve the expected heat exchange effect at lower energy consumption. Compared with the situation where the heat transfer efficiency is reduced due to dirt accumulation, the power of the pump needs to be increased to increase the fluid flow to maintain the heat exchange effect. This way can effectively reduce the operating energy consumption and achieve the purpose of energy saving.

[0057] At the same time, by arranging the two connecting plates 9363 oppositely, the normal passing speed of the cold fluid through the heat transfer pipe 931 is not disturbed. By arranging the two connecting plates 9363 oppositely, their interference with the cold fluid can be offset or weakened. When the cold fluid passes through the heat transfer pipe 931, the local flow rate will not be too high or too low due to the blockage of one side of the connecting plate 9363, avoiding the disturbance of the flow field, so as to ensure that the cold fluid can pass through the heat transfer pipe 931 at a relatively stable and uniform speed, maintaining the normal heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0058] The oppositely arranged connecting plates 9363 can make the mobile sleeve 9361, connecting frame 9362 and other structures more balanced under the impact of cold fluid, and the connecting plates 9363 on both sides can restrict each other to prevent the mobile sleeve 9361 from excessive deviation or shaking during movement, thereby enhancing the stability of the whole scraper 9365 device, making it more reliable to drive the scraper 9365 to move in contact with the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931, and ensuring the normal realization of the functions of scraping dirt and the like;

[0059] Meanwhile, the inclined spoiler 9364 arranged in the connecting plate 9363 on one side can make the cold fluid produce a spiral flow trajectory during flow, thereby increasing the disturbance degree of the fluid. Such spiral flow can further destroy the boundary layer of the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931, so as to make the heat exchange between the cold fluid and the pipe wall more sufficient, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency;

[0060] The presence of the spoiler 9364 can make the pressure distribution of the cold fluid more uniform during flow, and the spiral flow can make the pressure loss of the fluid in the heat transfer pipe 931 more stable, thereby avoiding the situation of local high or low pressure, which is helpful to reduce the operating pressure of the whole heat exchanger system and improve the safety and reliability of the system;

[0061] The spiral flow of the cold fluid guided by the spoiler 9364 can not only enhance the scouring effect of the fluid on the inner wall of the heat transfer pipe 931, but also make the contact between the scraper 9365 and the pipe wall more uniform and effective during movement. The spiral flow of the fluid can carry away the dirt and other impurities scraped off by the scraper 9365 more quickly, thereby improving the self-cleaning ability of the heat exchanger and further ensuring the heat transfer effect and stable operation of the equipment;

[0062] When the cold fluid continues to enter the heat transfer pipe 931, when the continuous impact force of the cold fluid is less than the tensile force of the first spring 935, so as to reset by the tensile reset of the first spring 935, so that the moving sleeve 9361 drives the two sides of the scraper 9365 to reset in the heat transfer pipe 931, so that the connecting frame 9362 provided with the spoiler 9364 is close to one side of the moving sleeve 9361, and the side of the buffer plate two 9339 is in extrusion contact, so that the buffer plate two 9339 drives the buffer plate one 9336 through the buffer shell 9337, and at the same time, the sliding sleeve 9331 drives the sliding frame one 9332 to move to the sliding frame two 9334, and at the same time, the buffer rod 9333 is moved on the sliding frame two 9334 through the sliding frame one 9332, and at the same time, the second spring 9335 is buffered and extruded, so as to avoid the impact force between the scraper 9365 and the sliding frame two 9334 when the scraper 9365 is reset by the first spring 935, which may cause the connection between the equipment parts to be loose or the seal to be invalid, thereby eliminating the leakage hidden danger that may be caused by the loose parts or the damaged seal, ensuring that the heat exchanger will not leak cold fluid during operation, and ensuring the safe operation of the equipment;

[0063] After the cold fluid after heat exchange continues to pass through the heat transfer pipe 931 and enters the connecting part 7, the continuous impact force of the fluid impacts the paddle 73, so that the paddle 73 drives the cleaning mechanism 74 to rotate in the pipe box two 71, so that the cleaning mechanism 74 cleans the inner wall of the pipe box two 71; when the inner wall of the pipe box two 71 needs to be cleaned, and the impact force of the fluid on the paddle 73 is too small, the motor 72 is started, the output end of the motor 72 drives the cleaning mechanism 74 to rotate in the pipe box two 71, and at the same time, the centrifugal force acts, so that the collecting mechanism 75 collects the impurities in the fluid;

[0064] When the inner wall of the pipe box two 71 needs to be cleaned, the motor 72 is started, the output end of the motor 72 drives the rotating rod 741 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 741 drives the rotating frame 742 to rotate in the inner cavity of the pipe box two 71, so that the rotating frame 742 drives the cleaning brush 744 to clean the inner wall of the pipe box two 71;

[0065] When the rotating frame 742 drives the cleaning brush 744 to rotate, it can clean the inner wall of the pipe box two 71 in 360 degrees around the rotating rod 741, avoiding dead angles. Compared with manual cleaning, this method can clean all parts of the inner wall of the pipe box two 71 more quickly and comprehensively, greatly improving the cleaning efficiency and the maintenance time of the equipment;

[0066] The rotating cleaning brush 744 can generate certain friction and pressure when in contact with the inner wall of the tube box two 71, which can effectively remove stubborn dirt and deposits. This cleaning method under the action of mechanical force can more effectively remove impurities on the inner wall of the tube box two 71 than some simple flushing or wiping methods, so as to restore the inner wall of the tube box two 71 to be clean and smooth, and improve the heat transfer efficiency and operating performance of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger;

[0067] When the rotating rod 741 is driven to rotate by the motor 72, the cleaning brush 744 is driven to rotate by the rotating frame 742 to clean the inner wall of the tube box two 71. When the contact pressure between the cleaning brush 744 and the impurities on the inner wall of the tube box two 71 is greater than the supporting force of the third spring 747, the sliding rod 746 drives the fixed plate 745 to move towards the rotating rod 741. When the contact pressure between the cleaning brush 744 and the inner wall is uneven or too large, it may cause vibration and noise of the equipment, which not only affects the working environment, but also may cause damage to the equipment. Through the self-adaptive adjustment of the sliding rod 746 and the third spring 747, the pressure between the cleaning brush 744 and the inner wall can be more stable, the vibration and noise caused by sudden pressure change can be reduced, and the cleaning work can be carried out in a more quiet and stable state.

[0068] When the rotating rod 741 is driven to rotate by the motor 72, the cold fluid after heat exchange continuously enters the tube box two 71. The side surface of the collecting shell 751 is continuously impacted and extruded by the cold fluid after heat exchange, and the collecting shell 751 is driven to rotate by the rotating rod 741. When the baffle 754 is continuously impacted and extruded by the cold fluid after heat exchange under the action of centrifugal force, the baffle 754 moves to the inside of the collecting shell 751, and the contact plate 755 is driven to move to the inside of the collecting shell 751 by the connecting shaft 752. The side surface of the contact plate 755 is separated from the curved plate one 756 and abuts against the side surface of the curved plate two 757, so that the cold fluid after heat exchange continuously enters the collecting shell 751, and the impurities in the cold fluid after heat exchange are collected. The circular holes are uniformly arranged on the side surface of the collecting shell 751 and the side surface of the baffle 754, so that the fluid in the inner cavity of the collecting shell 751 can flow out.

[0069] The impact and extrusion of the cold fluid on the collecting shell 751 and the baffle 754, combined with the action of centrifugal force, can make the impurities in the cold fluid be subjected to multiple forces, which can more effectively separate the impurities from the fluid. The impurities are more easily moved to the inside of the collecting shell 751 under the combined action of these forces, which improves the separation efficiency of the impurities and the fluid and makes the collection of the impurities more complete.

[0070] Meanwhile, by arranging the bending plate one 756 and the bending plate two 757 in the inner side of the collecting shell 751 respectively, and arranging the bending plate one 756 close to the baffle 754, when the baffle 754 is impacted by the impact force and moves into the collecting shell 751, the baffle 754 drives the contact plate 755 to separate from the bending plate one 756 and contact with the bending plate two 757, so as to guide the impurities to gather in the inner side of the collecting shell 751, thereby realizing the targeted collection of the impurities, avoiding the dispersion of the impurities in the tube box two 71, and facilitating the subsequent unified treatment of the impurities.
