Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shell and tube heat exchangers, in particular to a connection protection mechanism for shell and tube heat exchangers. Background Art
[0002] Shell and tube heat exchanger is a common heat exchange equipment, widely used in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, food processing and other industrial fields. Its main function is to transfer heat between two media, usually transferring heat from high-temperature medium to low-temperature medium, or transferring heat from one medium to another. Shell and tube heat exchanger consists of shell, head and tube bundle. Shell: The shell is a closed container that wraps the internal tube bundle, which is used to load heat source fluid and cooling fluid and maintain the stability of the heat exchange process between the two. Head: The tube bundle is usually connected to both sides of the shell through the head, which is used to support and fix the tube bundle and ensure that the medium can effectively exchange heat between the inside and outside of the tube bundle. Tube bundle: The tube bundle is a series of tubes in the shell for the flow of heat source fluid or cooling fluid. The tube bundle is usually made of stainless steel, copper alloy or other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure safe and effective heat conduction to the fluid. Since the head and the shell are mainly connected by flange and bolts, it is necessary to protect the connection between the head and the shell.
[0003] In the related art, during the use of a shell and tube heat exchanger, a heat source fluid flows in a tube bundle, and a cooled medium flows in a shell. Heat transfer between the two media is completed through the tube wall, thereby performing heat exchange.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4In a preferred embodiment, the clamping protection mechanism includes a support frame 5, which is movably connected to the left side of the shell 1, and a movable wheel 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 5. The protection frame 7 is movably connected to the left side of the top and bottom of the head 2. The outer side of the protection frame 7 is movably connected to a sliding frame 8 through a slide rail.

Therefore, the stability of the use of the clamping plate 17 is improved.
[0037] Specifically, the working process or working principle of the connection protection mechanism for the shell and tube heat exchanger is as follows: when in use, the protection frame 7 and the sliding frame 8 are moved to the outside of the Farah plate by the support frame 5 in cooperation with the movable wheel 6, and then the protection frame 7 is moved toward the flange 3 by the sliding frame 8. At this time, the rubber strip 9 follows the movement of the protection frame 7 and the sliding frame 8 and contacts the surface of the head 2 and the shell 1. At the same time, the protection frame 7 and the sliding frame 8 above and below the Farah plate are closed to form a circular ring surrounding the Farah plate and the outside of the bolt 4. At this time, the connection seat 10 drives the lifting The lowering seat 14 moves inside the lifting groove 13. When the protective frame 7 and the sliding frame 8 are closed, the magnetic strip 15 cooperates with the fixing strip 16 to magnetically pre-position the sliding frame 8 through the lifting seat 14 and the connecting seat 10. At the same time, the connecting seat 10 drives the clamping plate 17 to follow the sliding frame 8 to move outside the support frame 5 through the screw groove 20, the screw rod 21 and the rotating handle 19. Subsequently, according to the actual thickness of the Farah disc and the bolt 4 after the connection between the head 2 and the shell 1 is installed, the protective frame 7 and the sliding frame 8 are pushed toward the bolt 4 respectively, so that the protective frame 7 contacts the inner side of the slide frame 8 and the outer side of the bolt 4, and clamps and surrounds the Farah disk and the bolt 4. During this process, the connecting block 12 follows the slide frame 8 to move inside the connecting groove 11, and performs a sliding connection between the slide frame 8 and the connecting seat 10. Subsequently, the hand-held turning handle 19 drives the screw rod 21 to rotate and cooperate with the screw groove 20 to apply a translational pressing force to the pressing plate 17, so that the pressing plate 17 performs a pressing and positioning work between the lifting seat 14, the connecting seat 10 and the support frame 5, so that the slide frame 8 and the protective frame 7 are located between the flange 3 and the screw. The bolt 4 remains in a closed and surrounded state. At this time, the stabilizing ring 28 rotates inside the stabilizing groove 27 following the turning handle 19, and performs stabilizing work between the clamping plate 17 and the turning handle 19. At the same time, the clamping plate 17 drives the translation seat 23 and the rubber seat 24 to move synchronously with the surface of the sliding frame 8 through the synchronization rod 25 and the triangular seat 26 to contact and tighten with the surface of the sliding frame 8, and performs a clamping and positioning work on the sliding frame 8, so that the sliding frame 8 cooperates with the protective frame 7 and the rubber strip 9 to clamp and surround the Farah and the bolt 4 for protection, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the connection between the head 2 and the shell 1.
