Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of heat exchanger production equipment, and specifically relates to a heat exchanger pipe threading guide device. Background Art
[0002] During the production of pressure vessels (heat exchangers), it is necessary to perform a tube threading operation, that is, each heat exchange tube is sequentially passed through the corresponding holes on each support plate and baffle. During the tube threading operation, the heat exchange tube often cannot pass through the support plate smoothly. The reason is that the holes between the support plates and between the support plates and the baffles are not concentric; at the same time, the heat exchange tube is stuck and deformed due to the misalignment between the holes. Patent No. CN115870914A discloses a heat exchanger tube threading guide device, including a tail top cone arranged at the front end of the heat exchange tube to be threaded, and also includes a guide portion arranged at the front end of the tail top cone; the guide portion is moved backward by an external force to drive the tail top cone to move backward and clamp the front end of the heat exchange tube. Although the application can clamp the front end of the heat exchange tube through the top cone, the opening angle of the top cone is limited due to the limited diameter of the central axis, resulting in a general clamping effect. There is still a risk of the guide device falling off when inserting the tube. In addition, when the guide device is directly pulled out from the heat exchange tube, the cone clamp is always in contact with the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, resulting in hard friction, which is not convenient for operation and is easy to cause wear on the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, affecting the later use of the heat exchange tube. Therefore, a heat exchanger tube insertion guide device is needed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

The bolt can be driven to reciprocate along the guide tube by rotating the knob, and the bolt drives the pull rod to move together during the movement, so that the pull rod pushes and pulls the block, and the block can be kept stationary at a certain position, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the block on the heat exchange tube and the connecting tube.
