[0020] See also Figure 1-3The utility model provides an embodiment: a heat shock resistant plate-fin heat exchanger, comprising a heat exchanger body 1 and a buffer chamber 2 arranged on an inlet on one side of the heat exchanger body 1. The specific structure of the heat exchanger body 1 is the prior art. In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the heat exchanger body 1 are respectively provided with a medium inlet and an outlet, and the front and rear sides are respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet of another medium to be heat exchanged. The two media enter the heat exchanger body 1 from different directions to realize heat exchange and then discharge. The buffer chamber 2 is specifically a cylindrical structure. An outlet 201 is provided at one axial end of the buffer chamber 2. The outlet 201 is connected to the medium inlet on the right side of the heat exchanger body 1. An end cover 5 is detachably installed at the other axial end of the buffer chamber 2. The end cover 5 is connected to the buffer chamber 2 by threads or flanges, and a medium inlet 501 is provided on the end cover 5. In this embodiment, the end cover 5 is connected to the buffer chamber 2 by flanges, and a slag discharge port 502 is also provided on the end cover 5, and a sealing cover is threadedly connected to the slag discharge port 502. Slag discharge can be realized by opening and closing the sealing cover, and there is no need to disassemble and assemble the end cover 5.

[0021] A filter element 3 is movably installed inside the buffer chamber 2, and the filter element 3 divides the inside of the buffer chamber 2 into two independent cavities. In the present embodiment, the filter element 3 is a cylindrical structure with an opening at one end, and its coaxial line is arranged inside the buffer chamber 2, and the bottom radius and height of the filter element 3 are both smaller than the bottom radius and height of the buffer chamber 2. The opening of the filter element 3 is located at the end close to the end cover 5, and a plurality of filter holes are arranged on the outer circumferential wall of the filter element 3, and a positioning ring 301 is vertically extended from the end of the filter element 3 close to the opening, and the positioning ring 301 abuts against the inner wall of the buffer chamber 2, and the positioning ring 301 divides the inside of the buffer chamber 2 into two independent left and right chambers. Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring can be arranged on the abutting surface between the positioning ring 301 and the buffer chamber 2. During operation, the medium first enters the inside of the filter element 3 through the medium inlet 501, and after filtering, enters the inside of the buffer chamber 2 through the filter holes on the outer circumferential wall of the filter element 3.

[0022] A buffer structure 4 is provided on the side of the filter element 3 away from the end cover 5, and the buffer structure 4 includes a plurality of guide rods 401 fixed on the inner wall of the buffer chamber 2 and a spring 402 sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 401. A sliding hole 302 matching the guide rod 401 is provided at one end of the filter element 3 away from the opening. One end of the guide rod 401 extends through the sliding hole 302 to the inside of the filter element 3 and is fixed with a first limit plate 403. The spring 402 can play a certain buffering role. The filter element 3 can play a guiding and limiting role by sliding back and forth along the length direction of the guide rod 401. The first limit plate 403 is an integrated frame structure. When no medium is passed, under the elastic support of the spring 402, the first limit plate 403 abuts against the end of the inside of the filter element 3 away from the opening, and one end of a plurality of guide rods 401 are fixedly connected to the first limit plate 403. The outer peripheral wall of the first limit plate 403 is tightly attached to the inner peripheral wall of the filter element 3. The first limit plate 403 can play a limiting role to prevent the guide rod 401 from separating from the filter element 3. At the same time, when the first limit plate 403 and the filter element 3 slide relative to each other, impurities adhering to the inner wall of the filter element 3 can be automatically scraped off. Furthermore, in order to improve the cleaning effect, a cleaning bristle can be set on the outer circumferential surface of the first limit plate 403.

[0023] A second limit plate 4011 is fixed on the guide rod 401, and a gap is reserved between the second limit plate 4011 and the end of the guide rod 401. The two ends of the spring 402 are respectively abutted against the second limit plate 4011 and the filter element 3, so that a distance between the end of the filter element 3 and the liquid outlet 201 can be reserved to avoid blockage of the liquid outlet 201.

[0024] Working principle: When working, the heat exchange medium enters the interior of the buffer chamber 2 through the medium inlet 501, and enters the interior of the filter element 3 through the opening at one end of the filter element 3. When the medium flow rate is large, it impacts the filter element 3, and the filter element 3 compresses the spring 402 to play a buffering role. At the same time, the filter element 3 filters out impurities in the medium, and the filtered medium escapes to the interior of the buffer chamber 2 through the filter holes on the filter element 3, and then enters the interior of the heat exchanger body 1 through the liquid outlet 201 for heat exchange. When stopping working, the spring 402 pushes the filter element 3 to slide and reset along the length direction of the guide rod 401, and the first limit plate 403 slides relative to the filter element 3, automatically scraping off impurities adhering to the inner wall of the filter element 3, and opening the sealing plug of the slag discharge port 502, and passing clean water into the medium inlet 501 for cleaning, and the slag discharge port 502 discharges sewage.

Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
