[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the stiffening plate between the cooling water systems according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0019] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0020] The stiffening plate 100 between cooling water systems according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown, the stiffening plate 100 in the cooling water system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plate body 1 and stiffening ribs 2. The plate body 1 has an outer surface 11 and an inner surface 12 opposite to each other in its thickness direction. In other words, the outer surface 11 and the inner surface 12 are opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the plate body 1. The stiffening rib 2 includes a first wing plate 21, a second wing plate 22, and a web plate 23. The first wing plate 21 is provided on the inner surface 12, one end of the web plate 23 is connected to the first wing plate 21, and the other end of the web plate 23 is connected to the second wing plate 22.
[0021] The width of the first wing plate 21 is equal to the width of the second wing plate 22. The width of each of the first wing plate 21 and the second wing plate 22 is less than or equal to a first preset value. The height of the web plate 23 is greater than or equal to a second preset value and less than or equal to a third preset value. The ratio of the height of the web plate 23 to the width of the first wing plate 21 is greater than or equal to a fourth preset value. In other words, the ratio of the height of the web plate 23 to the width of the second wing plate 22 is greater than or equal to the fourth preset value.
[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the stiffening plate 100 between cooling water systems has a smaller width for each of the first wing plate 21 and the second wing plate 22 by making the width of each of them less than or equal to a first preset value. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the stiffening plate 100 between cooling water systems has a larger height for the web plate 23 by making the height of the web plate 23 greater than or equal to a second preset value and less than or equal to a third preset value.
[0023] This allows for a reduction in the weight of the stiffening plate 100 while meeting strength and stiffness requirements, thereby reducing the weight of the cooling water system and the seawater wind power converter platform. Therefore, the stiffening plate 100 in the cooling water system according to this embodiment of the invention has advantages such as high strength, high stiffness, and light weight.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the stiffening plate 100 includes a plate body 1 and stiffening ribs 2. The plate body 1 may be flat. The plate body 1 has an outer surface 11 and an inner surface 12 opposite to each other in its thickness direction. Optionally, the thickness of the plate body 1 is greater than or equal to 9 cm and less than or equal to 10 cm. This allows for further reduction of the weight of the stiffening plate 100 while meeting strength and stiffness requirements.
[0025] The stiffening rib 2 includes a first flange 21, a second flange 22, and a web 23. The first flange 21 is disposed on the inner side 12 of the plate 1; for example, the first flange 21 can be welded to the inner side 12 of the plate 1. One end of the web 23 is connected to the first flange 21, and the other end of the web 23 is connected to the second flange 22.
[0026] Specifically, the web 23 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other in its height direction. The first end of the web 23 is welded to the first wing 21, and the second end of the web 23 is welded to the second wing 22. Furthermore, the first wing 21, the second wing 22, and the web 23 can be integrally formed.
[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the thickness direction of the first flange 21 is consistent with the thickness direction of the second flange 22. Therefore, the width direction of the first flange 21 is consistent with the width direction of the second flange 22, and the length direction of the first flange 21 is consistent with the length direction of the second flange 22, meaning the first flange 21 is parallel to the second flange 22. The height direction of the web 23 is consistent with the thickness direction of the first flange 21 (and second flange 22), and the stiffening rib 2 is I-shaped. This makes the structure of the stiffening rib 2 more rational, thereby further improving the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reducing its weight. The height direction of the web 23 is as follows... Figure 1 As shown by arrow A in the diagram.
[0028] The width of the first wing plate 21 is equal to the width of the second wing plate 22, and the width of each of the first wing plate 21 and the second wing plate 22 is less than or equal to a first preset value. Optionally, the width of each of the first wing plate 21 and the second wing plate 22 is less than or equal to 6 cm, i.e., the first preset value is 6 cm. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce the weight of the stiffening plate 100.
[0029] Alternatively, the width of each of the first flange 21 and the second flange 22 is less than or equal to 5 centimeters, i.e., the first preset value is 5 centimeters. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce the weight of the stiffening plate 100.
[0030] The height of the web 23 is greater than or equal to a second preset value and less than or equal to a third preset value. Optionally, the height of the web 23 is greater than or equal to 14 cm and less than or equal to 16 cm, that is, the second preset value is 14 cm and the third preset value is 16 cm. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce the weight of the stiffening plate 100.
[0031] Alternatively, the height of the web 23 is greater than or equal to 14.9 cm and less than or equal to 15.1 cm, i.e., the second preset value is 14.9 cm and the third preset value is 15.1 cm. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce the weight of the stiffening plate 100.
[0032] The thickness of the web 23 is less than the width of the first flange 21, that is, the thickness of the web 23 is less than the width of the second flange 22, and the thickness of the web 23 is less than or equal to 3 cm. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffened plate 100 and further reduce the weight of the stiffened plate 100.
[0033] Alternatively, the thickness of the web 23 may be less than or equal to 2.2 cm. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce its weight.
[0034] The ratio of the height of the web 23 to the width of the first flange 21 is greater than or equal to a fourth preset value. That is, the ratio of the height of the web 23 to the width of the second flange 22 is greater than or equal to the fourth preset value. Optionally, the ratio of the height of the web 23 to the width of the first flange 21 is greater than or equal to 3:1 and less than or equal to 5:1. In other words, the ratio of the height of the web 23 to the width of the second flange 22 is greater than or equal to 3:1 and less than or equal to 5:1. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce its weight.
[0035] Optionally, the ratio of the width to the thickness of the first wing plate 21 is greater than or equal to a fifth preset value. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce its weight. For example, the ratio of the width to the thickness of the first wing plate 21 is greater than or equal to 2:1.
[0036] Alternatively, the ratio of the width to the thickness of the first flange 21 is greater than or equal to 2.6:1. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce its weight.
[0037] Optionally, the ratio of the width to the thickness of the second flange 22 is greater than or equal to a fifth preset value. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce its weight. For example, the ratio of the width to the thickness of the second flange 22 is greater than or equal to 2:1.
[0038] Alternatively, the width-to-thickness ratio of the second flange 22 is greater than or equal to 2.6:1. This can further improve the strength and stiffness of the stiffening plate 100 and further reduce its weight. The thickness of the first flange 21 is equal to the thickness of the second flange 22.
[0039] The cooling water system enclosure of the present invention includes an outer shell and a plate heat exchanger. The outer shell includes a stiffening plate 100, and the plate heat exchanger is disposed inside the outer shell. Accordingly, the cooling water system enclosure according to the embodiments of the present invention has advantages such as high strength, high rigidity, and light weight.
[0040] Compared with existing cooling water systems, the cooling water system of the present invention has a reduced area of about 41% and a weight of about 50%.
