[0028] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. 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.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a large heat exchanger tooling frame, which mainly includes four parts: platform frame 1, upper frame 20, swing positioning mechanism 5, and bracket 6. The following is a detailed description of these parts: The platform frame 1 includes four columns 2, which are distributed at the four corners of a rectangle. Adjacent columns 2 are connected by crossbeams 3, and there are multiple crossbeams 3 between the columns 2. The upper end of the platform frame 1 is fixedly connected to a platform 4, which provides a platform for the maintenance and operation of large heat exchangers. The platform 4 has mating holes 25 that are adapted to the outer diameter of the large heat exchanger for insertion. The large heat exchanger is inserted into the mating holes 25. Based on the comprehensive consideration of lightweight and high strength, it was finally decided to use I-beams and angle steel as the main materials of the platform frame 1, and use angle steel and bolts for connection, which has the advantages of stable structure and easy installation and disassembly.
[0030] The large heat exchanger and the mating hole 25 are not in direct contact, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, a limiting member 22 is also provided on the inner wall of the circumferential hole 25. When the large heat exchanger shakes, it can not only maintain a certain amount of buffer space but also prevent the large heat exchanger from colliding with the platform frame 1. The limiting member 22 includes a bent plate 23 and a socket plate 24. The bent plate 23 is detachably connected to the large heat exchanger, and the socket plate 24 is hinged to the platform 4. The bent plate 23 and the socket plate 24 can be slidably inserted. The hinged and inserted structure provides three-dimensional buffering in the height and horizontal directions.
[0031] Around the mating hole 25, there is also an upper frame 20. The upper frame 20 is a frame structure with four railings surrounding the support column. The upper frame 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the platform 4 and surrounds the outer perimeter of the large heat exchanger to ensure worker safety. The upper frame 20 is also equipped with an openable door 21 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the large heat exchanger and to facilitate personnel access. Since the invention is relatively high, a ladder 19 is also provided for easy maintenance. The ladder 19 is located on both sides below the platform 4 and is fixedly connected to the platform 4 to facilitate workers to go up and down the platform 4.
[0032] like Figure 8 As shown, the swing positioning mechanism 5 is set below the platform 4. The swing positioning mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 3 in the middle. It is used to clamp the large heat exchanger and adjust the angle of the large heat exchanger. The adjustable angle clamping of the swing positioning mechanism 5 realizes the angle compensation of the large heat exchanger during the construction process due to uneven site, as well as the correction of the angle deviation caused by ground deformation and external force interference. It solves the problems of difficulty in leveling large heat exchangers and inconvenience in positioning the angle.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the swing positioning mechanism 5 includes three clamping rollers 11, a fixed bracket 8, and two movable brackets 7. One clamping roller 11 is hinged to the fixed bracket 8 and can rotate freely around the hinge point. The other two clamping rollers 11 are respectively hinged to two symmetrically arranged movable brackets 7. The three are on the same horizontal plane, forming a clamping space to clamp the large heat exchanger. The two movable brackets 7 and one fixed bracket 8 are positioned at three points, which can adjust the vertical angle of the large heat exchanger while firmly clamping it.
[0034] The movable support 7 includes an electric push rod 9 and two connecting rods 10. The cylinder end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 3. The power of the mechanism is provided by the electric push rod 9. By pushing and pulling the electric push rod 9, the connecting rods 10 are driven, thereby pushing the clamping rollers 11 to contact and separate from the large heat exchanger. This facilitates automated control and allows adjustment of the pressure and position of the clamping rollers 11 according to actual needs. One end of the two connecting rods 10 is hinged to each other, and the non-hinged end of one of the connecting rods 10 is hinged to the frame crossbeam 3. The non-hinged end of the other connecting rod 10 is hinged to the piston rod end of the electric push rod 9. The connecting rod 10 and the electric push rod 9 form a triangular connecting rod structure. The endpoints of the triangular structure, namely the hinged ends of the two connecting rods 10, can swing under the drive of the electric push rod 9. The hinged ends of the two connecting rods 10 are also hinged to clamping rollers 11, which are used to clamp large heat exchangers. One end of the fixed bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the frame beam 3, and the other end is hinged to the clamping roller 11. The fixed bracket 8 provides fixed support.
[0035] The clamping rollers 11 include rollers 13 and a shaft frame 26, with the shaft frame 26 being V-shaped. Two rollers 13 are respectively rotatably mounted on two forks of the shaft frame 26. The clamping rollers 11 move relative to the surface of the large heat exchanger in a rolling manner. When the large heat exchanger undergoes vertical displacement, the swing positioning mechanism 5 will not be subjected to excessive impact, thus preventing structural damage. The rollers 13 are made of rubber, which can provide a certain amount of friction and cushioning, reducing the shaking impact of the large heat exchanger to a certain extent, while avoiding mechanical damage to the surface of the large heat exchanger. The rollers 13 have high friction with the surface of the large heat exchanger, which can effectively prevent slippage and movement of the heat exchanger during operation. The outer circumference of the axes of the two rollers 13 are distributed at obtuse angles, and they cooperate and contact the outer wall of the large heat exchanger. Each clamping roller 11 is V-shaped, which can better fit the surface of the large heat exchanger and increase the contact area.
[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the bracket 6 is positioned below the swing positioning mechanism 5 and is fixedly connected to the platform frame 1. It is used to support the large heat exchanger and plays the main load-bearing role. The bracket 6 includes an upper first annular flange 14 and a lower second annular flange 15, both of which are fitted and inserted into the large heat exchanger. Multiple support columns 16 are connected below the first annular flange 14. The support columns 16 stand on the ground to provide support. The second annular flange 15 is located within the space enclosed by the support columns 16 and is connected to each support column 16. Each support column 16 is connected to a connecting column 17, which is connected to the platform frame 1. Through the connecting column 17, a portion of the force is transmitted to the platform frame 1, reducing the force on the bracket 6, improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of the bracket 6, and distributing the force. This can distribute the weight of the large heat exchanger to the platform frame 1 and the ground, avoiding local stress concentration, improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the present invention, and solving the problem that existing tooling frames cannot support large heat exchangers.
[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, a wedge-shaped pad 18 is provided between the bottom end of the support column 16 and the ground; the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped pad 18 fits against the bottom surface of the support column 16. The bracket 6 is leveled by adjusting the wedge-shaped pad 18. By changing the insertion depth or position of the wedge-shaped pad 18 under the bracket 6, the height of different parts of the platform can be adjusted to make the bracket 6 reach a horizontal state, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the installation, commissioning and operation of the large heat exchanger. The wedge-shaped pad 18 can also be set below the column 2 to adjust the overall level of the platform frame 1 without the need for high-precision leveling of the installation ground. The level of the test bench and heat exchanger can be calibrated by adjusting the relative position of the wedge-shaped pads 18, which reduces the requirements for the site foundation and improves the applicability of the invention. The wedge-shaped pads 18 are generally made of high-strength alloy steel. Alloy steel has high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, and will not deform or be damaged even under long-term stress and repeated adjustments. In order to reduce adjustment friction and prevent corrosion, the wedge-shaped pads 18 are also often surface treated, such as quenching to harden the surface, or surface treatment such as zinc plating, nickel plating, etc., and rust prevention treatment to extend service life.
