Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coolers, and in particular to a modular combined tube-fin water-cooled cooler. Background Art

[0002] An air compressor is a driven fluid machine that boosts low-pressure gas to high-pressure gas. The existing air compressor body inhales air and compresses it. The compressed air passes through an oil-gas separator to separate the compressed air from the oil, thereby preparing compressed air. When the air compressor compresses the air, a large amount of heat will be generated. This heat will keep the gas at a high temperature. In order to ensure the normal, efficient and safe operation of the air compressor, the air compressor is usually equipped with a cooler to cool the high-temperature gas. The commonly used cooler is generally a tube-fin water-cooled cooler.

[0003] However, in order to effectively dissipate heat from the air compressor, the design of the cooler needs to be a single cooler design based on the compressor power. Therefore, when targeting different usage scenarios and usage requirements, manufacturers need to completely redesign the cooler, which results in a longer production cycle and lower production efficiency of the cooler, which is obviously insufficient. Coolers often require complex pressure vessel certification, and require a completely new cooler design with a long development cycle and high costs, which increases the production cost of the cooler. The versatility of the cooler is poor, which is obviously insufficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the versatility of the cooler and increase production efficiency, the present application provides a modular combined tube-fin water-cooled cooler.

[0005] The present application provides a modular combined tube-fin water-cooled cooler adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A modular combined tube-fin water-cooled cooler includes multiple cooling modules, wherein the cooling modules include a shell, wherein multiple heat exchange tubes are arranged inside the shell, an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are connected to the shell, and a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe are respectively connected to the two ends of the shell, and a longitudinal connecting component and multiple groups of transverse connecting components for connecting the multiple cooling modules are arranged on the shell.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when different coolers are produced for different compressors, the number of cooling modules can be increased or decreased according to the size of the compressor or the heat exchange adaptability. When an increase is needed, the uninstalled cooling modules are connected through the longitudinal connecting assembly or the transverse connecting assembly. When a reduction is needed, the installed cooling modules are removed through the longitudinal connecting assembly or the transverse connecting assembly. The modular design of the cooler makes the cooler suitable for compressors of various powers, improves the versatility of the cooler, shortens the production cycle of the cooler, and improves the production efficiency of the cooler.

[0008] Optionally, the longitudinal connecting assembly includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate and a first bolt, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are respectively arranged at two ends of the shell, one end of the first connecting plate is detachably connected to the first end cover via the first bolt, and one end of the second connecting plate is detachably connected to the second end cover via the first bolt, and when adjacent cooling modules are connected, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate of adjacent cooling modules are detachably connected into one body via the first bolt.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to realize the longitudinal connection between two cooling modules, first rotate the first bolt in the opposite direction to make the first end cover on one cooling module detach from the first connecting plate, and the second end cover on the other cooling module detach from the second connecting plate. Then, place the different cooling modules side by side and align the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. Then, connect the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate on the different cooling modules by rotating the first bolt in the forward direction. At this time, the longitudinal connection between the two cooling modules is completed, the overall heat exchange performance of the cooler is increased, and the disassembly and assembly method is simple and convenient, which is convenient for workers to operate.

[0010] Optionally, the transverse connection assembly includes a first ear plate, a second ear plate and a second bolt, and the first ear plate and the second ear plate are respectively arranged on both sides of the shell, and when adjacent cooling modules are connected, the first ear plate and the second ear plate on the adjacent cooling modules are detachably connected into one by the second bolt.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to realize a transverse connection between two coolers, the two cooling modules are placed side by side and the first ear plate and the second ear plate are aligned. Then, the first ear plate and the second ear plate on different cooling modules are connected by rotating the second bolt in the forward direction. At this time, the transverse connection between the two cooling modules is completed, the overall heat exchange performance of the cooler is increased, and the disassembly and assembly method is simple and convenient, which is convenient for workers to operate.

[0012] Optionally, the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are both fixedly connected with connecting flanges.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the connecting flange improves the overall sealing of each cooling module, ensuring that the gas will not leak out of the shell, thereby improving the working efficiency of each cooling module. At the same time, the setting of the connecting flange facilitates workers to realize the detachable connection between the connecting air pipe and the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe, thereby reducing the working difficulty of the operator and improving the overall disassembly and assembly efficiency of the cooler.

[0014] Optionally, the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are both threadedly connected with screw plugs, and the screw plugs are tightly connected to the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cooling module is not in use, the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are sealed by the screw plug, which reduces the probability of external impurities entering the shell, thereby reducing the impact of external impurities on the heat exchange efficiency of the cooler. When the cooling module is in use, the screw plug is removed from the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe to ensure the normal flow of liquid inside the shell.

[0016] Optionally, a first shock-absorbing pad is provided on a side of the first connecting plate close to the first end cover.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the longitudinal connection between two cooling modules is realized through the longitudinal connecting assembly, the first shock-absorbing pad can effectively reduce the vibration force between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, thereby effectively avoiding the loose connection between the cooling modules caused by vibration, thereby ensuring the normal operation between different cooling modules.

[0018] Optionally, second shock-absorbing pads are provided on both sides of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the longitudinal connection between the two cooling modules is realized through the transverse connecting assembly, the first shock-absorbing pad can effectively reduce the vibration force between the first ear plate and the second ear plate, thereby effectively avoiding the loose connection between the cooling modules caused by vibration, thereby ensuring the normal operation between different cooling modules.

[0020] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. The present application provides a cooling module, a longitudinal connection assembly and a transverse connection assembly, and realizes a modular design of the cooler through the cooling module. When the heat exchange capacity of the cooler needs to be increased, a new cooling module is installed through the longitudinal connection assembly or the transverse connection assembly. The modular design of the cooler enables the cooler to be applicable to compressors of various powers, thereby improving the versatility of the cooler, shortening the production cycle of the cooler, and improving the production efficiency of the cooler.

[0022] 2. The present application sets a first shock-absorbing pad and a second shock-absorbing pad to effectively reduce the vibration force between the cooling modules through the first shock-absorbing pad or the second shock-absorbing pad, thereby effectively avoiding the loose connection between the cooling modules caused by vibration, thereby ensuring the normal operation between different cooling modules.

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.

[0029] The embodiment of the present application discloses a modular combined tube-fin water-cooled cooler.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 A modular combined tube-fin water-cooled cooler includes a plurality of cooling modules 1. In the present embodiment, the number of cooling modules 1 is two. The cooling module 1 includes a shell 11. A plurality of heat exchange tubes (not shown in the figure) are arranged inside the shell 11. The plurality of heat exchange tubes are distributed along the length direction of the shell 11. An air inlet pipe 12 and an air outlet pipe 13 are connected to the surface of the shell 11. The air inlet pipe 12 and the air outlet pipe 13 are respectively arranged at two ends of the shell 11. A water inlet pipe 14 and a water outlet pipe 15 are respectively connected to the two ends of the shell 11.

[0031] The high-temperature gas compressed by the compressor enters the shell 11 through the air inlet pipe 12, and cooling water is introduced into the heat exchange tube through the water inlet pipe 14. When the high-temperature gas flows in the shell 11, the liquid in the heat exchange tube exchanges heat with the gas, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the compressor.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The water inlet pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 15 on the cooling module 1 are both threadedly connected with screw plugs 2, and the screw plugs 2 are tightly fitted with the water inlet pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 15.

[0033] When the cooling module 1 is not in use, the water inlet pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 15 are sealed by the screw plug 2, which reduces the probability of external impurities entering the shell 11, thereby reducing the impact of external impurities on the heat exchange efficiency of the cooler. When the cooling module 1 is in use, the worker detaches the screw plug 2 from the water inlet pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 15 to ensure the normal flow of liquid inside the shell 11.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A longitudinal connection assembly 3 for realizing longitudinal connection of adjacent cooling modules 1 is provided on the shell 11. Specifically, the longitudinal connection assembly 3 includes a first connection plate 31, a second connection plate 32 and a first bolt 33. The first connection plate 31 and the second connection plate 32 are respectively fixedly welded to the two ends of the shell 11. The end of the first connection plate 31 away from the shell 11 is detachably connected to the first end cover 16 through the first bolt 33. The water inlet pipe 14 is connected and arranged on the surface of the first end cover 16. The end of the second connection plate 32 away from the shell 11 is detachably connected to the second end cover 17 through the first bolt 33. The water outlet pipe 15 is connected and arranged on the surface of the second end cover 17. When two cooling modules 1 are longitudinally connected, the first connection plate 31 on one cooling module 1 and the second connection plate 32 on the other cooling module 1 are connected by the first bolt 33. A connecting air pipe 4 is connected and arranged between the outlet pipe 13 on one cooling module 1 and the inlet pipe 12 on the other cooling module 1.

[0035] When it is necessary to cool a higher-power compressor, workers can achieve a longitudinal connection between the two cooling modules 1 through the longitudinal connecting assembly 3. First, the workers need to reversely rotate the first bolt 33 to disengage the first end cover 16 on one cooling module 1 from the first connecting plate 31, and the second end cover 17 on the other cooling module 1 from the second connecting plate 32. Then, different cooling modules 1 are placed side by side and the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are aligned. The first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 on different cooling modules 1 are connected by forward rotating the first bolt 33. At this time, the longitudinal connection between the two cooling modules 1 is completed. The workers connect the outlet pipes 13 on the two cooling modules 1 with the inlet pipes 12 through the connecting air pipe 4. The flow path of the high-temperature gas and liquid of the compressor is increased, thereby increasing the overall heat exchange performance of the cooler. This modular design makes the cooler suitable for compressors of various powers, improves the versatility of the cooler, shortens the production cycle of the cooler, and improves the production efficiency of the cooler.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a plurality of transverse connection components 5 for realizing transverse connection of adjacent cooling modules 1 are provided on the shell 11. In the present embodiment, the number of the transverse connection components 5 is two groups and they are respectively distributed at the two ends of the shell 11. Specifically, the transverse connection components 5 include a first ear plate 51, a second ear plate 52 and a second bolt 53. The first ear plate 51 and the second ear plate 52 are respectively fixedly welded to the opposite sides of the first connecting plate 31 or the second connecting plate 32. When the two cooling modules 1 are transversely connected, the first ear plate 51 on one cooling module 1 and the second ear plate 52 on the other cooling module 1 are connected by the second bolt 53. The air inlet pipe 12 on one cooling module 1 is connected to the air inlet pipe 12 on the other cooling module 1 by the connecting air pipe 4. The water inlet pipe 14 on one cooling module 1 is connected to the water inlet pipe 14 on the other cooling module 1 by the connecting water pipe 6.

[0037] When it is necessary to realize a horizontal connection between two coolers, the worker first places the two cooling modules 1 side by side and aligns the first ear plate 51 and the second ear plate 52, and then connects the first ear plate 51 and the second ear plate 52 on different cooling modules 1 by rotating the second bolt 53 in the forward direction. At this time, the horizontal connection between the two cooling modules 1 is completed. Then the worker connects the air inlet pipes 12 with the air inlet pipes 12 on the two cooling modules 1 through the connecting air pipe 4, and connects the water inlet pipes 14 with the water outlet pipes 15 on the two modules through the connecting water pipe 6. At this time, the flow path of the high-temperature gas and liquid of the compressor is increased, thereby increasing the overall heat exchange performance of the cooler.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In order to improve the sealing performance of the connecting air pipe 4, the openings of the air inlet pipe 12 and the air outlet pipe 13 are fixedly connected with connecting flanges 7. The setting of the connecting flanges 7 facilitates workers to realize the detachable connection between the connecting air pipe 4 and the air inlet pipe 12 and the air outlet pipe 13, thereby reducing the working difficulty of the operators and improving the overall disassembly and assembly efficiency of the cooler.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A first shock-absorbing pad 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the first connecting plate 31 close to the first end cover 16. When the two cooling modules 1 are connected through the longitudinal connecting component 3, the two end faces of the first shock-absorbing pad 8 are respectively tightly attached to the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32. Second shock-absorbing pads 9 are fixedly installed on the two side surfaces of the first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 perpendicular to the shell 11. When the two cooling modules 1 are connected through the transverse connecting component 5, two adjacent second shock-absorbing pads 9 are tightly attached to each other.

[0040] The provision of the first shock-absorbing pad 8 and the second shock-absorbing pad 9 can effectively prevent the loose connection between the cooling modules 1 due to vibration, thereby ensuring the normal operation of different cooling modules 1.

[0041] The implementation principle of a modular combined tube-fin water-cooled cooler in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when it is necessary to match compressors of different powers, the number of cooling modules 1 can be increased or decreased according to the size of the compressor or the adaptability of the heat exchange capacity. When an increase is needed, the uninstalled cooling modules 1 are connected through the longitudinal connecting component 3 or the transverse connecting component 5. When a reduction is needed, the installed cooling modules 1 are removed through the longitudinal connecting component 3 or the transverse connecting component 5. The modular design of the cooler makes the cooler suitable for compressors of various powers, improves the versatility of the cooler, shortens the production cycle of the cooler, and improves the production efficiency of the cooler.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
