[0030] The fan 13 is fixedly connected to the scraper 15 via the connecting shaft 14 , and both sides of the scraper 15 are movably installed in the first limiting groove 16 . This structure can use the power generated by the fluid to drive the scraper 15 to clean the impurities on the surface of the filter layer 17 .

[0031] The inner wall of the heat exchange chamber 5 is evenly installed with an upper partition 19 and a lower partition 20, and the outer walls of the upper partition 19 and the lower partition 20 are evenly provided with circular holes, and heat exchange tubes 18 are installed in the circular holes. The two ends of the heat exchange tubes 18 respectively penetrate the outer walls of the filter chamber 1 and the drainage chamber 10 on one side and are connected thereto. This structure can enable the hot fluid to better contact the heat exchange tubes 18 to efficiently exchange heat with the cold fluid inside.

[0032] The cold fluid inlet pipe 2 deviates from the center of the filter bin 1, and one end of the cold fluid inlet pipe 2 faces the blades of the fan 13. This structure can convert the wind force of the fluid into power for the scraper 15 to rotate and clean impurities.

[0033] Limiting blocks are arranged at both ends of the scraper 15 , and convex brushes are evenly arranged at the middle position of one side of the scraper 15 . This structure can limit the scraper 15 .

[0034] The scraper 15 is provided with a side wall of a convex brush which fits with the outer wall of one side of the filter layer 17 , and the outer wall of the filter layer 17 is evenly provided with filter holes.

[0035] A circular through hole is provided on one side of the filter chamber 1 and the drainage chamber 10, and both ends of the heat exchange tube 18 are sealedly connected to the through hole.

[0036] Specific as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when this structure is used, the cold fluid is injected into the filter bin 1 through the cold fluid inlet pipe 2, the cold fluid is filtered through the filter layer 17, the fluid contacts the fan 13 to rotate, the fan 13 drives the scraper 15 to rotate, and the convex brush arranged on the side of the scraper 15 is used to scrape the surface of the filter layer 17 to clean the impurities generated by filtering on the surface of the filter layer 17.

[0037] Embodiment 2: A second limiting groove 22 is provided inside the drainage bin 10, a baffle 21 is provided inside the second limiting groove 22, the outer wall of the baffle 21 is connected with a connecting block 23, the bottom end of the connecting block 23 is connected with a slide plate 24, and a slide groove 12 matching the slide plate 24 is provided inside the drainage bin 10. This structure can insulate the fluid after heat exchange to prevent heat loss.

[0038] Water outlet holes are evenly arranged at the bottom of the drainage bin 10, the baffle 21 matches the second limiting groove 22, and the baffle 21 is installed inside the second limiting groove 22 and fits the bottom water outlet hole. This structure can discharge the liquid generated after the internal fluid condenses to ensure heat exchange efficiency.

[0039] The outer wall of one side of the slide plate 24 fits the outer wall of the drainage bin 10 , and the outer wall of the other side of the slide plate 24 is evenly provided with rhombuses. This structure can increase the friction force in contact with the slide plate 24 , making it easier for the slide plate 24 to slide.

[0040] Specific as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, when this structure is used, when the heat exchanger stops being used, the fluid inside the drainage bin 10 is easily cooled to produce liquid, which affects the next use of the heat exchanger. The slide plate 24 is manually slid to make the baffle 21 connected to the slide plate 24 through the connecting block 23 slide along the track of the slide groove 12 inside the second limiting groove 22 to the top of the drainage bin 10, so that the internal condensed water is discharged through the drain port set at the bottom end of the slide groove 12.

[0041] Working principle: The cold fluid is injected into the filter bin 1 through the cold fluid inlet pipe 2, and the filter layer 17 is used to filter the incoming cold fluid. At the same time, the wind force generated by the cold fluid contacting the fan 13 drives the scraper 15 to rotate and scrape the surface of the filter layer 17, and the filtered fluid flows into the heat exchange tube 18. When the cold fluid enters the heat exchange tube 18, the second valve 7 and the third valve 8 are opened, and the hot fluid is injected into the heat exchange bin 5 through the hot fluid inlet pipe 6. Through the upper partition 19 and the lower partition 20, the hot fluid is refracted and flows up and down inside the heat exchange bin 5, and the cold fluid inside the heat exchange tube 18 is fully heat exchanged. The hot fluid cooled after heat exchange is discharged through the hot fluid outlet pipe 9 to speed up the heat exchange efficiency. The cold fluid after heat exchange flows to the inside of the drainage bin 10 through the heat exchange pipe 18. The fluid is insulated by the second limit groove 22 set in the drainage bin 10 to prevent heat loss. Then the fluid is discharged through the heat exchange outlet pipe 11 for use. When the scraper 15 cleans too many impurities in the filter layer 17, the inside of the filter bin 1 needs to be cleaned, the first valve 4 is opened, and the impurities inside the filter bin 1 are discharged through the drain pipe 3. This structure can ensure the smooth flow of the fluid inside the heat exchanger, clean the fluid inside the filter, and recycle the internal condensed water.

[0042] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
