Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchanger assembly and manufacturing, in particular to a U-tube heat exchanger tube pulling device. Background Art

[0002] When manufacturing the tube bundle of the U-tube heat exchanger, the U-shaped heat exchange tube needs to pass through the tube holes of the baffle and the tube holes of the tube sheet. During the tube insertion process, since the tube hole diameter of the tube sheet is inconsistent with the tube hole diameter of the baffle, that is, the tube hole center line of the tube sheet and the tube hole center line of the baffle cannot completely coincide, the tube hole diameter of the tube sheet is generally smaller than the tube hole diameter of the baffle, and the requirements for the U-shaped heat exchange tube insertion are more stringent.

[0003] When threading a U-shaped heat exchange tube, when the U-shaped heat exchange tube passes through the tube hole of the baffle and needs to pass through the tube sheet, there is often a large threading resistance and difficulty in threading. Since the rear end of the U-shaped heat exchange tube is a U-shaped structure, when the bending radius of the U-shaped heat exchange tube becomes larger and larger, the rear end of the U-shaped heat exchange tube is arc-shaped, and it is impossible to directly apply force to the rear end of the U-shaped heat exchange tube for threading. The length of the front end of the U-shaped heat exchange tube extending out of the tube sheet is extremely short, and most of them do not even extend out of the tube sheet, so it is impossible to effectively fix and pull the U-shaped heat exchange tube from the front end, resulting in difficulty in threading and low efficiency, affecting work efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems in the existing U-shaped heat exchange tube threading process, in which the rear end of the U-shaped heat exchange tube cannot be forced for threading, the front end cannot be effectively fixed and pulled to pull the U-shaped heat exchange tube, resulting in large threading resistance, difficulty in threading, and affected work efficiency, the utility model provides a U-shaped tube heat exchanger tube pulling device.

[0005] The utility model provides a U-tube heat exchanger tube pulling device, comprising a sliding screw, the sliding screw comprising a hexagonal screw, the front end of the hexagonal screw is provided with a positioning column extending into the tube plate hole through a limiting platform with a diameter larger than the tube plate hole, the positioning column, the limiting platform and the hexagonal screw are coaxially fixed, a screw nut is rotatably installed on the hexagonal screw, and a U-shaped groove which is matched with a mechanical expansion tube clamping is welded on the outer side of the screw nut; the mechanical expansion tube comprises an expansion rod, an expansion sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the expansion rod, an expansion depth limiting sleeve is fixed on the rear end of the expansion sleeve through a positioning screw ring sleeve, the U-shaped groove is sleeved on the expansion sleeve, and the U-shaped groove is located at the front end of the expansion depth limiting sleeve.

[0006] During implementation, it includes a sliding screw, which includes a hexagonal screw. The tail end of the hexagonal screw cooperates with an electric wrench, and the hexagonal screw is driven to rotate by the electric wrench. The front end of the hexagonal screw is installed with a positioning column extending into the tube sheet hole through a limit table with a diameter larger than the tube sheet hole. When the positioning column is inserted into the tube sheet hole, the limit table abuts against the tube sheet. The positioning column, the limit table and the hexagonal screw are coaxially fixed. A screw nut is rotatably installed on the hexagonal screw, and the screw nut is on the hexagonal screw. The nut rotates and reciprocates along the axis. A U-shaped groove is welded on the outside of the lead screw nut for clamping with the mechanical expansion tube. The outside of the U-shaped groove is welded on the outer surface of the lead screw nut. The positioning column is inserted into the tube sheet hole adjacent to the U-shaped heat exchange tube for mechanical expansion tube extraction, that is, the mechanical expansion tube is inserted into the U-shaped heat exchange tube and fixed, and the sliding lead screw is inserted into the adjacent tube sheet hole (the tube sheet hole without the U-shaped heat exchange tube inserted). The rotation of the hexagonal lead screw drives the mechanical expansion tube to move linearly to pull the U-shaped heat exchange tube out of the tube sheet.

[0007] The mechanical expansion tube can be detachably installed in the U-shaped heat exchange tube. The mechanical expansion tube includes an expansion rod, an expansion sleeve is sleeved on the outer surface of the expansion rod, and the rear end of the expansion sleeve is fixed with an expansion depth limiting sleeve through a positioning screw ring sleeve. A head nut is provided on the top of the expansion rod, and expansion beads and expansion sleeves that cooperate with each other are provided on the expansion rod, that is, an expansion bead groove is provided at the front end of the expansion sleeve, and the expansion bead is installed in the expansion bead groove of the expansion sleeve. The expansion tube assembly is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. A hexagonal head for expansion tube is integrally fixed to the tail of the expansion rod, which is used for the installation of the mechanical expansion tube and the U-shaped heat exchange tube. The U-shaped groove is clamped on the expansion sleeve, and the U-shaped groove reciprocates along the axial direction with the screw nut when the hexagonal head screw rotates. The U-shaped groove is located at the front end of the expansion depth limiting sleeve, and the edge of the U-shaped groove is against the side of the expansion depth limiting sleeve.

[0008] When in use, first extend the mechanical expansion rod through the tube sheet hole into the tube head of the U-shaped heat exchange tube, rotate the hexagonal head of the expansion tube, so that the expansion bead, the expansion rod and the tube head of the U-shaped heat exchange tube are expanded and fixed, insert the positioning column at the front end of the sliding screw into the tube sheet hole adjacent to the U-shaped heat exchange tube, and clamp the U-shaped groove on the expansion sleeve at the front end of the expansion depth limit sleeve, assemble an electric wrench at the tail of the hexagonal screw, drive the sliding screw to rotate through the electric wrench, and under the push of the expansion depth limit sleeve, the screw nut and the U-shaped groove reciprocate along the axis of the hexagonal screw, and the mechanical expansion tube pulls the U-shaped heat exchange tube outward.
