Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of distributors and relates to distributors. Background Art

[0002] The distributor in the heat exchanger is a key component. Its main function is to ensure that the fluid is evenly distributed inside the heat exchanger, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency and the overall performance of the equipment.

[0003] Existing distributors, for example, Chinese patent literature discloses a gas distributor and a system including the gas distributor [patent number: 201810293832.5; application publication number: CN108261988B], which includes an annular gas distribution pipe, a gas distribution box located in the ring of the annular gas distribution pipe, and an air intake pipe connected to the gas distribution pipe and the gas distribution box respectively; the air intake pipe is connected to the gas distribution pipe and the gas distribution box respectively through at least two air intake branches, so as to achieve the fixation of the gas distribution pipe and the gas distribution box and the air intake; the surfaces of the gas distribution pipe and the gas distribution box are provided with air holes.

[0004] The distributor of this structure takes in air through the air inlet pipe, transports the gas to the distribution pipe and the distribution box, and finally flows out through the air holes. The distribution box is located in the middle of the distribution pipe ring, and there is a distance between the distribution box and the distribution pipe. The distance between two adjacent air holes located in the inner circle of the distribution pipe is smaller than the distance between two adjacent air holes located in the outer circle of the distribution pipe. The distance between two adjacent air holes in the distribution box is also different, which leads to uneven distribution of the fluid flowing out of the air holes, thereby reducing the performance of the heat exchanger. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model aims at the above problems existing in the prior art, proposes a distributor, and solves the technical problem of how to make the fluid flowing out of the distributor evenly distributed.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a distributor, comprising a first air inlet pipe, characterized in that it also comprises a second air inlet pipe and a plurality of air outlet pipes, all of the air outlet pipes are parallel to each other and arranged at equal intervals, the air outlet end of the first air inlet pipe is connected to the middle of the length direction of the second air inlet pipe, the second air inlet pipe is connected to the middle of the length direction of all the air outlet pipes, each of the air outlet pipes is provided with a plurality of air outlet needle tubes at equal intervals, all of the air outlet needle tubes are arranged in a criss-cross straight line grid, and the air outlet needle tubes are at the same distance from adjacent air outlet needle tubes in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

[0007] The fluid in the first air inlet pipe is transported to the middle of the second air inlet pipe in the length direction, and then flows toward the two ends of the second air inlet pipe. In this process, the fluid in the second air inlet pipe flows to the middle of the air outlet pipe, and then flows toward the two ends of the air outlet pipe, making the flow of the fluid more stable and uniform, and making the fluid flowing out of the air outlet needle tube stable and uniform. All the air outlet needle tubes are arranged in a criss-cross straight grid shape, and the distances between the air outlet needle tubes and the adjacent air outlet needle tubes in the longitudinal and transverse directions are the same, that is, all the air outlet needle tubes are evenly distributed, so that the fluid flowing out of the air outlet needle tubes flows evenly to the inside of the device, and the fluid flowing out of the distributor is evenly distributed, thereby improving the performance of the device.

[0008] In the above distributor, the outlet pipe is provided with a plurality of connection holes at equal intervals, one end of the outlet needle is inserted into the connection hole, and the outlet needle is threadedly connected to the outlet pipe. The threaded connection avoids deformation caused by welding, and the outlet needle can also be removed for replacement and cleaning.

[0009] In the above distributor, the length of the outlet needle tube is smaller than the inner diameter of the outlet tube. This structure makes the overall structure of the distributor compact, occupies a small space, and ensures the strength of the distributor.

[0010] In the above distributor, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the outlet needle tube is 1 / 200-1 / 50 of the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the outlet pipe. This structure makes the distributor suitable for equipment that requires a small flow of liquid or gas.

[0011] In the above distributor, the length of the outlet pipes at both sides is shorter than the length of the outlet pipe at the middle. This structure enables the distributor to be installed in a circular cylinder.

[0012] In the above distributor, the cross section of the air outlet pipe is square, and the corners of the square are rounded.

[0013] As another aspect, in the above distributor, the cross section of the air outlet pipe is circular.

[0014] In the above distributor, the first air inlet pipe includes a plurality of first air inlet branches, all of which are parallel to each other and arranged at equal intervals, the second air inlet pipe includes a plurality of second air inlet branches, all of which are arranged in a straight line, and all of the air outlet pipes are divided into a plurality of groups, and the first air inlet branches, the second air inlet branches and a group of the air outlet pipes are arranged one by one. This structure can shorten the distance that the fluid flows through, so that the flow rate and flow velocity of the fluid flowing out of each air outlet needle tube are as consistent as possible, so that the fluid flowing out of the distributor is evenly distributed.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the distributor provided by the utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. All the outlet needle tubes of the distributor are arranged in a criss-cross straight grid shape, and the distances between the outlet needle tubes and the adjacent outlet needle tubes in the longitudinal and transverse directions are the same, that is, all the outlet needle tubes are evenly distributed, so that the fluid flowing out of the outlet needle tubes flows evenly to the inside of the equipment, and the fluid flowing out of the distributor is evenly distributed, thereby improving the performance of the equipment.

[0017] 2. The first air inlet pipe and the second air inlet pipe of the distributor are both multi-section types, so that the flow rate and flow velocity of the fluid flowing to each air outlet needle tube are as consistent as possible, so that the fluid flowing out of the distributor is evenly distributed.
