Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, and more particularly to a heat exchanger for ships. Background Technology

[0002] Ships are typically equipped with heat exchangers, which are energy-saving devices that transfer heat between fluids at different temperatures. They are widely used in chemical, petroleum, power, and construction industries. Their core function is to recover energy through heat conduction or heat-moisture exchange, thereby improving energy efficiency.

[0003] Currently, in existing technologies, when ships are sailing at sea, waves crash against the ship, causing it to rock. Ships are equipped with heat exchangers for heat exchange. When the ship is rocking, the heat exchangers will sway due to gravity, affecting their heat exchange efficiency. Traditional heat exchangers do not have a support function, which can lead to damage to the heat exchangers. Therefore, this invention proposes a heat exchanger for ships. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the prior art where, when a ship is sailing at sea, waves crash against it, causing it to rock and roll. Ships are equipped with heat exchangers for heat exchange, and when the ship is rocking, the heat exchangers are affected by gravity and sway, which affects their heat exchange efficiency. Traditional heat exchangers do not have a supporting function, which can lead to damage to the heat exchangers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a marine heat exchanger, comprising a support member, a clamping mechanism mounted on the support member, and a support mechanism mounted on the clamping mechanism; the support member includes a side fixing plate, a fixing frame fixedly connected to one side of the side fixing plate, and limiting rods provided on both sides above and below the fixing frame, one end of the limiting rod being fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the side fixing plate, and the other end of the limiting rod being fixedly connected to a fixing seat, the fixing seat being fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the fixing frame, and a base plate being fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing frame, with limiting grooves formed on both sides of the base plate.

[0006] In at least some embodiments, a pressure plate is slidably mounted on the fixed frame and the limiting rod, and a plurality of evenly distributed heat exchange fins are provided between the pressure plate and the side fixed plate. An installation groove is provided in the fixed frame, and the installation groove is located above the bottom plate.

[0007] In at least some embodiments, the side fixing plate has four evenly distributed inlet and outlet ports on one side, with the upper and lower inlet and outlet ports being the inlet and outlet ports, respectively. The side fixing plate and the heat exchange plate have side grooves in the middle of both sides, and bolt mounting rods are installed in the side grooves.

[0008] In at least some embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on a fixed frame, a knob fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft, and a threaded rod provided on the lower end surface of the rotating shaft, the threaded rod being rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0009] In at least some embodiments, the threaded rod is engaged with a mounting bracket, and a transmission connecting rod is rotatably mounted at both ends of the mounting bracket. A connecting seat is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the transmission connecting rod, a limit hole is formed in the middle of the connecting seat, and a side support plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting seat.

[0010] In at least some embodiments, the connecting seat is located in the limiting groove, the side support plate is located on both sides of the side fixing plate, a T-shaped bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket, and upper toothed plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the T-shaped bracket.

[0011] In at least some embodiments, the support mechanism includes a side mounting plate fixed to the outer wall of the fixed frame, the side mounting plate being located above the mounting groove, and a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the lower ends of the two side mounting plates. A mating gear is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and the mating gear meshes with the upper gear plate.

[0012] In at least some embodiments, side sliders are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the side mounting plates on both sides, and connecting slide rails are slidably installed below the side sliders on both sides. A push plate is fixedly connected to the same end of the connecting slide rail, and a lower toothed plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting slide rail.

[0013] In at least some embodiments, a drive gear is meshed below the lower toothed plate, the drive gear is fixed to one side surface of the mating gear, and a fixing rod is fixed to the lower end of both sides of the fixing frame, and a connecting seat is installed on the fixing rod through a limiting hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a knob, and then the rotating shaft and the threaded rod rotate synchronously. The rotation of the threaded rod can drive the mounting bracket to rise and fall along the threaded rod. The transmission connecting rods at both ends of the mounting bracket can drive the connecting seat to move outward in the limiting groove. The side support plate at the lower end of the connecting seat can support both sides of the heat exchanger, preventing the heat exchanger from shaking due to ship turbulence and ensuring the working efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0015] 2. In this invention, when the mounting bracket moves up and down along the screw, the upper toothed plate on one side of the mounting bracket meshes with the mating gear, driving it to rotate around the rotation axis. The driving gear on one side of the mating gear meshes with the lower toothed plate, thereby driving the connecting slide rail to move along the side slider. Subsequently, the push plate at one end of the connecting slide rail is pressed against the surface of the pressing plate. The pressing plate positions the heat exchange plates, preventing gaps caused by shaking of the heat exchange plates from affecting the heat exchange efficiency, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and practicality of the heat exchanger.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0020] In existing technologies, the core function of heat exchangers is to recover energy through heat conduction or heat-moisture exchange, thereby improving energy utilization. When a ship is sailing at sea, waves will hit the ship, causing it to rock. Ships are equipped with heat exchangers to exchange heat. When the ship is rocking, the heat exchangers will sway due to gravity, affecting their heat exchange efficiency. Traditional heat exchangers do not have a supporting function, which can lead to damage to the heat exchangers.

[0021] Therefore, the present invention aims at least in the following ways: the support member 100 facilitates the installation of multiple heat exchange fins 105 into the heat exchanger; simultaneously, the clamping mechanism 200 and the support mechanism 300 drive the two side support plates 208 to move towards both sides of the heat exchanger, thereby providing support to both sides of the heat exchanger; furthermore, the support mechanism 300 can drive the push plate 305 to push the clamping plate 104 along the fixed frame 102, thus enabling the installation of the heat exchange fins 105 and preventing the heat exchange fins 105 from swaying during ship rocking. Example, according to Figures 1-7 An embodiment of the present invention provides a marine heat exchanger, comprising a support member 100, a clamping mechanism 200 mounted on the support member 100, and a support mechanism 300 mounted on the clamping mechanism 200; as shown Figures 3-4 As shown, the support member 100 includes a side fixing plate 101. A fixing frame 102 is fixedly connected to one side of the side fixing plate 101. Limiting rods 103 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the fixing frame 102. One end of the limiting rod 103 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the side fixing plate 101, and the other end of the limiting rod 103 is fixedly connected to a fixing seat 109. The fixing seat 109 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the fixing frame 102. A base plate 111 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing frame 102. Limiting grooves 112 are provided on both sides of the base plate 111.

[0022] like Figures 3-4As shown, a clamping plate 104 is slidably mounted on the fixed frame 102 and the limiting rod 103. A plurality of evenly distributed heat exchange fins 105 are provided between the clamping plate 104 and the side fixing plate 101. An installation groove 110 is provided inside the fixed frame 102, located above the bottom plate 111. Four evenly distributed inlet and outlet water ports 108 are opened on one side of the side fixing plate 101, with the upper and lower inlet and outlet water ports 108 being the inlet and outlet water ports, respectively. The side fixing plate 101 and the heat exchange plate 105 are provided with side grooves 106 in the middle of both sides. Bolt mounting rods 107 are installed in the side grooves 106. Multiple heat exchange plates 105 are placed between the side fixing plate 101 and the pressure plate 104. The pressure plate 104 can move laterally along the fixing frame 102 and the limiting rod 103. The pressure plate 104 and the side fixing plate 101 can be fixed by the bolt mounting rods 107, thereby realizing the installation of multiple heat exchange plates 105.

[0023] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 200 includes a rotating shaft 201, which is rotatably mounted on a fixed frame 102. A knob is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 201, and a threaded rod 204 is provided on the lower end surface of the rotating shaft 201. The threaded rod 204 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting groove 110, and a mounting bracket 205 is engaged with the threaded rod 204. Transmission connecting rods 206 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the mounting bracket 205, and a connecting seat 207 is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the transmission connecting rod 206. A limit hole 209 is provided in the middle of the connecting seat 207, and a side support plate 208 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting seat 207. The connecting seat 207 is located in the limit groove 112, and the side support plate 209 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting seat 207. Located on both sides of the side fixing plate 101, the mounting bracket 205 has a T-shaped bracket 202 fixedly connected to one side, and upper toothed plates 203 fixedly connected to both ends of the T-shaped bracket 202. The rotating shaft 201 is driven to rotate by a knob, and then the rotating shaft 201 and the threaded rod 204 rotate synchronously. The rotation of the threaded rod 204 can drive the mounting bracket 205 to rise and fall along the threaded rod 204. The transmission connecting rods 206 at both ends of the mounting bracket 205 can drive the connecting seat 207 to move outward in the limiting groove 112. The side support plate 208 at the lower end of the connecting seat 207 can support both sides of the heat exchanger to prevent the heat exchanger from shaking due to the turbulence of the ship and ensure the working efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0024] like Figure 7As shown, the support mechanism 300 includes side mounting plates 301, which are fixed to the outer wall of the fixed frame 102. The side mounting plates 301 are located above the mounting groove 110. Rotating shafts 308 are rotatably mounted on the lower ends of the two side mounting plates 301. A mating gear 307 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 308. The mating gear 307 is meshed with the upper gear plate 203. Side sliders 302 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two side mounting plates 301. Connecting slide rails 303 are slidably mounted below the two side sliders 302. A push plate 305 is fixedly connected to the same end of the connecting slide rail 303. A lower gear plate 304 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting slide rail 303. A drive gear 306 is meshed with the lower gear plate 304. The drive gear 306 is fixedly connected to the mating gear 307. On the side surface, the lower ends of both sides of the fixed frame 102 are fixedly connected to a fixing rod 309. The fixing rod 309 is equipped with a connecting seat 207 through a limiting hole 209. When the mounting bracket 205 moves up and down along the screw 204, the upper toothed plate 203 on one side of the mounting bracket 205 meshes with the mating gear 307, which drives it to rotate around the rotating shaft 308. The driving gear 306 on one side of the mating gear 307 meshes with the lower toothed plate 304, thereby driving the connecting slide rail 303 to move along the side slider 302. Then, the push plate 305 at one end of the connecting slide rail 303 is pressed against the side surface of the pressure plate 104. The pressure plate 104 is used to position the heat exchange plate 105, preventing the heat exchange plate 105 from having gaps due to shaking, which would affect the heat exchange efficiency. This improves the heat exchange efficiency and practicality of the heat exchanger.

[0025] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the clamping plate 104 can move laterally along the fixed frame 102 and the limiting rod 103, and the clamping plate 104 and the side fixing plate 101 can be fixed by the bolt mounting rod 107 to realize the installation of multiple heat exchange plates 105. The rotating shaft 201 is driven to rotate by the knob, and then the rotating shaft 201 and the threaded rod 204 rotate synchronously. The rotation of the threaded rod 204 drives the mounting bracket 205 to rise and fall along the threaded rod 204. The transmission connecting rods 206 at both ends of the mounting bracket 205 drive the connecting seat 207 to move outward in the limiting groove 112. The side support plate 208 at the lower end of the connecting seat 207 can support both sides of the heat exchanger to prevent heat exchange. To ensure the heat exchanger's efficiency, when the mounting bracket 205 moves up and down along the screw 204, the upper toothed plate 203 on one side of the mounting bracket 205 engages with the mating gear 307, driving it to rotate around the rotating shaft 308. The drive gear 306 on one side of the mating gear 307 engages with the lower toothed plate 304, thus moving the connecting slide rail 303 along the side slider 302. Subsequently, the push plate 305 at one end of the connecting slide rail 303 presses tightly against the surface of the pressure plate 104, positioning the heat exchange plates 105 through the pressure plate 104. This prevents gaps caused by the shaking of the heat exchange plates 105 from affecting heat exchange efficiency, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and practicality of the heat exchanger.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments that can be applied to other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
