[0024] One of the preferred embodiments of the present application is as follows: Figures 1 to 6As shown, a tube bundle support structure of a shell and tube heat exchanger includes a mounting plate 1, a support plate 2, a support block 4, a telescopic mechanism and a tooth plate 603; a plurality of evenly distributed mounting holes 101 are opened on one side of the mounting plate 1 for mounting the tube bundle of the heat exchanger, the support plate 2 is mounted on the back of the mounting plate 1 through an elastic telescopic structure, there are a plurality of support blocks 4, and the support blocks 4 are distributed in a circular array outside the circumference of the mounting plate 1, there are a plurality of telescopic mechanisms, and the telescopic mechanisms are respectively mounted between the mounting plate 1 and the support block 4, there are a plurality of tooth plates 603, and the tooth plates 603 are in a circular array Distributed and fixed at one end of the support plate 2, installed state: the mounting plate 1 and the support plate 2 are inserted into the interior of the heat exchanger shell from one end of the heat exchanger shell, the support plate 2 is against the inner wall of one end of the heat exchanger shell, the mounting plate 1 approaches the support plate 2, the tooth plate 603 drives the telescopic mechanism to extend through the linkage structure, and the support block 4 is against the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell, disassembled state: the mounting plate 1 and the support plate 2 are pulled out from one end of the heat exchanger shell, the mounting plate 1 is away from the support plate 2 through the action of the telescopic mechanism, the tooth plate 603 drives the telescopic mechanism to shrink through the linkage structure, and the support block 4 is separated from the heat exchanger shell.

[0025] It can be understood that the tube bundles are first inserted into the mounting holes 101 respectively, and then the entire mounting plate 1 and the support plate 2 are inserted into the heat exchanger shell from one end of the heat exchanger shell until the support plate 2 is against the inner wall of the other end of the heat exchanger shell, and then the sealing cover at one end of the heat exchanger shell is covered, and the sealing cover continues to push the tube bundle toward the inside of the heat exchanger shell. In the process of tightening the sealing cover, the mounting plate 1 will approach the support plate 2. At this time, the tooth plate 603 drives the telescopic mechanism to extend through the linkage structure, and the support block 4 is against the inner wall of the heat exchanger shell. After the sealing cover of the heat exchanger is tightened, the mounting plate 1 is also fixed by the support block 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the telescopic mechanism includes an insert tube 6, a threaded rod 601 and a gear 602. The insert tube 6 is installed outside the circumference of the mounting plate 1 in an annular array. The insert tube 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1. The gear 602 is fixedly installed on the top of the insert tube 6. The threaded rod 601 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the insert tube 6.
