Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plate heat exchanger maintenance equipment, in particular to a plate heat exchanger maintenance tool. Background Art

[0002] The structure of the plate heat exchanger consists of gaskets, compression plates (movable end plates, fixed end plates) and frames (upper and lower guide rods, front pillars). The plates are sealed and diverted by sealing gaskets to separate the cold and hot fluid channels. In addition, when the plates are assembled, the two groups are arranged alternately, and the rubber sealing strips are fixed between the plates with adhesives. Its function is to prevent the leakage of the main and auxiliary water and to form a narrow mesh flow channel between the two plates. The heat exchange plates are pressed into various corrugated shapes to increase the area and rigidity of the heat exchange plates, and to make the cold and hot water form turbulence at low flow rates to achieve the effect of enhancing heat transfer. After two years of use, the plates on the secondary water side of the plate heat exchanger began to scale, the flow gradually narrowed, the heat exchange effect decreased, and it could not meet the operating requirements of the rectifier cabinet. It needed to be disassembled and replaced. When opening the plate heat exchanger, the bolts must be loosened to the same degree (when opening, the movable clamping plate should remain straight and move), the clamping bolts were removed from the top, and the movable clamping plate was lifted to the ground, and the plates could be inspected and disassembled; during the assembly process, the fixed clamping plate and the movable clamping plate were parallel up and down. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the clamping dimensions of the upper and lower plates before clamping. During the clamping process, the clamping should be repeatedly measured and clamped step by step until the specified clamping dimensions are reached.

[0003] Since the plates generate elastic force after compression, it is very difficult to disassemble them using a wrench. A force rod is required. It takes four people 4 hours to disassemble a single set of heat exchanger plates. During this period, two people tighten the diagonal bolts, which will cause uneven extrusion, deformation and water leakage of the rubber pads, and time-consuming rework. This not only increases the labor intensity of maintenance personnel, but also buries safety hazards for timely power supply of the rectifier cabinet. To this end, we propose a plate heat exchanger maintenance tool. Utility Model Content

When in use, the two long screws 18 are simultaneously passed through the upper clamping plate 11, the lower clamping plate 12 and the load-bearing support frame 2, and the hydraulic jack 21 is supported on the bottom plane of the U-shaped support frame. After manually adjusting the balance of the U-shaped support frame, the second nut 19 on the long screw 18 is tightened, and then two people simultaneously operate the hydraulic jack 21 to extrude the plate, and the extrusion force is uniform.

[0019] This process can ensure that the upper clamping plate 11 and the lower clamping plate 12 always remain parallel to avoid damage to the equipment. No force rod is required, and the disassembly efficiency of a single set of heat exchanger plates is higher. It solves the problem of uneven extrusion when two people tighten the diagonal bolts during use of ordinary maintenance tools, which can easily lead to deformation and leakage of the rubber pads, resulting in time-consuming rework.

[0024] In the above scheme, the support frame 2 is provided with a level bubble 22. The level bubble 22 is used in conjunction with the support frame 2, and the user determines the horizontal state of the support frame 2 by observing the state of the level bubble 22, so that the horizontal state of the upper clamping plate 11 can be easily maintained, ensuring that the upper clamping plate 11 and the lower clamping plate 12 are always kept parallel.

[0025] In the above solution, washers are disposed inside the first nut 17 and the second nut 19 .

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] The plate heat exchanger maintenance tooling is used in conjunction with a long screw 18, a second nut 19, a support frame 2 and two hydraulic jacks 21. When in use, the two long screws 18 are simultaneously passed through the upper clamping plate 11, the lower clamping plate 12 and the force-bearing support frame 2, and the hydraulic jack 21 is supported on the bottom plane of the mountain-shaped support frame. After manually adjusting the balance of the mountain-shaped support frame, the second nut 19 on the long screw 18 is tightened, and then two people simultaneously operate the hydraulic jack 21 to squeeze the plate with uniform squeezing force. This process can ensure that the upper clamping plate 11 and the lower clamping plate 12 are always kept parallel to avoid damage to the equipment. After the screws are loosened, the remaining four first nuts 17 are manually loosened, and the disassembly and assembly work can be completed quickly. Subsequently, the hydraulic jack 21 is removed to realize the disassembly and maintenance of the heat exchanger frame structure.
