[0041] The heat exchange device 100 of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the heat exchange device 100 of the present invention includes a heat exchange tube assembly 1 .

[0043] There are multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1, and adjacent heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are arranged in parallel. That is, two adjacent heat exchange tube assemblies 1 among the multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are arranged in parallel; or, the heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are arranged in multiple groups, each heat exchange tube assembly 1 group includes multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1, and multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1 in the same heat exchange tube assembly 1 group are arranged in parallel; or, multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are all arranged in parallel.

[0044] Each heat exchange tube assembly 1 includes a heat exchange tube 11 and a plurality of fins 12 . The heat exchange tube 11 has a channel for passing a refrigerant.

[0045] A plurality of fins 12 are provided on the heat exchange tube 11, and the plurality of fins 12 are spaced apart in the length direction of the heat exchange tube 11, and gaps 121 are formed between adjacent fins 12, and each fin 12 can rotate around the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 11, that is, the plurality of fins 12 on each heat exchange tube 11 can rotate relative to the fins 12 on the heat exchange tube 11 adjacent to the heat exchange tube 11. The plurality of fins 12 of each heat exchange tube assembly 1 corresponds one-to-one to the plurality of gaps 121 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1 adjacent to the heat exchange tube assembly 1, and a portion of each fin 12 is inserted into the corresponding gap 121.

[0046] The specific implementation process of the heat exchange device 100 of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] When cleaning a heat exchange tube assembly 1, the multiple fins 12 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1 are rotated around the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 11 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1. When the adjacent fins 12 rotate, the dirt attached to the gap 121 between the adjacent fins 12 is driven to rotate around the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 11 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1. The dirt will touch the fin 12 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1 corresponding to the gap 121 and inserted into the gap 121, so that the fin 12 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1 scrapes the dirt from the gap 121, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the gap 121 between the multiple fins 12 in the heat exchange tube assembly 1.

[0048] In the heat exchange device 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the fin 12 of one of the adjacent heat exchange tube assemblies 1 is inserted into the gap 121 between the fins 12 of the other one, and the fin 12 of the one of the heat exchange tube assemblies 1 is rotated to remove the dirt in the gap 121. Not only is the operation simple, the cleaning effect is good, and the problem that the gap 121 between the multiple fins 12 on the heat exchange tube 11 is not easy to clean is solved, but also the fin 12 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1 is used to clean the gap 121 between the fins 12 of itself, without the need to set up an additional cleaning structure for cleaning, thereby reducing the redundancy of the structure.

[0049] In order to make the present application easier to understand, the heat exchange device 100 of the embodiment of the present utility model is further described below by taking the case where the length direction of the heat exchange tube 11 is consistent with the front-to-back direction as an example.

[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the heat exchange device 100 of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a heat exchange tube assembly 1, a liquid inlet pipeline 21 and a liquid outlet pipeline 22. The liquid inlet pipeline 21 is used to pass the refrigerant flowing to the heat exchange tube 11, and the liquid outlet pipeline 22 is used to discharge the refrigerant through the heat exchange tube 11. The channel of each heat exchange tube assembly 1 is connected with the liquid inlet pipeline 21 and the liquid outlet pipeline 22, so that the refrigerant flows into the channel through the liquid inlet pipeline 21 and the refrigerant is discharged through the liquid outlet pipeline 22.

[0051] In some embodiments, each fin 12 is rotatably mounted on the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube 11. Specifically, each fin 12 is an annular plate body, and each annular plate body is rotatably mounted on the outer circumference of the heat exchange tube 11, so that each fin 12 can rotate around the axial direction of the heat exchange tube 11, has a simple structure, and is easy to install on the heat exchange tube 11.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the multiple heat exchange tubes 11 are rotatably connected to the liquid inlet pipeline 21 and the liquid outlet pipeline 22, and the inlet end 1111 of each heat exchange tube 11 is connected to the liquid inlet pipeline 21, and the outlet end 1112 of each heat exchange tube 11 is connected to the liquid outlet pipeline 22. In other words, each heat exchange tube 11 can rotate around its axial direction, so that the heat exchange tube 11 can drive the multiple fins 12 arranged thereon to rotate around its axial direction, so that the multiple fins 12 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1 adjacent to the heat exchange tube assembly 1 can clean the gaps 121 between the multiple fins 12 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1. And when the heat exchange tube 11 rotates, the multiple fins 12 arranged on its outer peripheral surface will rotate at the same time, so that the multiple gaps 121 between the multiple fins 12 are cleaned by the multiple fins 12 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1 at the same time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the liquid inlet pipeline 21 includes a first main pipeline 211 and a plurality of first branch pipelines 212, and the plurality of first branch pipelines 212 are all connected to the first main pipeline 211. The inlet ends 1111 of the plurality of heat exchange tubes 11 are connected to the plurality of first branch pipelines 212 in a one-to-one correspondence, wherein the first branch pipeline 212 includes a first branch channel 2122, and the second branch pipeline 222 includes a second branch channel 2222. The liquid outlet pipeline 22 includes a second main pipeline 221 and a plurality of second branch pipelines 222, and the plurality of second branch pipelines 222 are all connected to the second main pipeline 221. The outlet ends 1112 of the plurality of heat exchange tubes 11 are connected to the plurality of second branch pipelines 222 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each heat exchange tube 11 is rotatable relative to the first branch pipeline 212 and the second branch pipeline 222 corresponding thereto. This makes it easier for the liquid inlet pipeline 21 to transport the refrigerant into the channel through multiple first branch pipelines 212, and for the channel to discharge the refrigerant into the liquid outlet pipeline 22 through multiple second branch pipelines 222, so that the circulation of the refrigerant in the heat exchange device 100 is smoother, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the inlet end 1111 of the heat exchange tube 11 is provided with a first mounting groove 2121 communicating with the channel, and the first branch pipe 212 can be rotatably inserted in the first mounting groove 2121 relative to the heat exchange tube 11. The outlet end 1112 of the heat exchange tube 11 is provided with a second mounting groove 2221 communicating with the channel, and the second branch pipe 222 can be rotatably inserted in the second mounting groove 2221 relative to the heat exchange tube 11. Thus, not only the heat exchange tube 11 is connected with the first branch pipe 212 and the second branch pipe 222, but also the first installation groove 2121 is connected with the inlet end 1111 of the heat exchange tube 11, and the refrigerant can pass through the first branch pipe 212, the first installation groove 2121 in sequence and finally enter the channel through the inlet end 1111, and the second installation groove 2221 is connected with the outlet end 1112 of the heat exchange tube 11, and the refrigerant can pass through the outlet end 1112, the second installation groove 2221 in sequence and finally enter the second branch pipe 222, so that the refrigerant can flow smoothly in the heat exchange device 100.

[0055] In other embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the first branch pipeline 212 has a first mounting groove 2121 communicating with the first branch channel 2122, and the inlet end 1111 of the heat exchange tube 11 is rotatably inserted in the first mounting groove 2121. The second branch pipeline 222 has a second mounting groove 2221 communicating with the second branch channel 2222, and the outlet end 1112 of the heat exchange tube 11 is rotatably inserted in the second mounting groove 2221. Thereby, not only the heat exchange tube 11 is connected with the first branch pipe 212 and the second branch pipe 222, but also the first installation groove 2121 is connected with the first branch channel 2122, the refrigerant can pass through the first branch channel 2122 and the first installation groove 2121 in sequence and finally enter the channel through the inlet end 1111, the second installation groove 2221 is connected with the second branch channel 2222, the refrigerant can pass through the outlet end 1112 and the second installation groove 2221 in sequence and finally enter the second branch channel 2222, so that the refrigerant can flow smoothly in the heat exchange device 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, each heat exchange tube assembly 1 further includes a first gear 13 , which is connected to the heat exchange tube 11 to drive the heat exchange tube 11 to rotate, and the first gear 13 of each heat exchange tube assembly 1 is meshed with the first gear 13 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1 .

[0057] In other words, the first gears 13 of two adjacent heat exchange tube assemblies 1 among the multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are meshed with each other; or, the heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are arranged in multiple groups, each heat exchange tube assembly 1 group includes multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1, and the multiple first gears 13 of the same heat exchange tube assembly 1 group are meshed with each other in sequence; or, the first gears 13 of the multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are meshed with each other in sequence, and the second gear 32 is meshed with the first gear 13 of one of the multiple heat exchange tube assemblies 1.

[0058] The first gear 13 of each heat exchange tube assembly 1 is meshed with the first gear 13 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1. When the first gear 13 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1 and one of the first gears 13 adjacent to the heat exchange tube assembly 1 rotate, the first gear 13 of the other can be driven to rotate, thereby causing the adjacent heat exchange tubes 11 to rotate simultaneously and in opposite directions, so that the gaps 121 between the multiple fins 12 of each of the adjacent heat exchange tube assemblies 1 can be cleaned, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency of the heat exchange device 100.

[0059] Furthermore, the heat exchange device 100 of the embodiment of the utility model further includes a driver 31 and a second gear 32, and the driver 31 is used to drive the second gear 32 to rotate. A plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are arranged in parallel, and the first gears 13 of the plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are meshed in sequence, and the second gear 32 is meshed with the first gear 13 of one of the plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1. Thus, the second gear 32 is driven to rotate by the driver 31, and the second gear 32 drives the first gear 13 matched therewith to rotate, and sequentially drives the first gears 13 of the other plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1, so that the plurality of heat exchange tubes 11 rotate, which not only greatly improves the cleaning efficiency of the heat exchange device 100, but also facilitates operation.

[0060] Optionally, the driver 31 is an electric motor.

[0061] In some embodiments, the heat exchange device 100 of the utility model embodiment further includes a bracket, the bracket has a plurality of mounting through holes, and the heat exchange tubes 11 are respectively inserted into the plurality of mounting through holes. Thus, the bracket supports the plurality of heat exchange tubes 11, thereby improving the structural stability of the heat exchange device 100 of the utility model embodiment.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of heat exchange tubes 11 are connected between the liquid inlet pipeline 21 and the liquid outlet pipeline 22, and each heat exchange tube 11 includes an inner tube body 111 and an outer tube body 112, and the outer tube body 112 is rotatably sleeved on the inner tube body 111. A plurality of fins 12 are arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the outer tube body 112, and the inner tube body 111 defines a channel for passing a cold medium, and an inlet end 1111 of the inner tube body 111 is communicated with the liquid inlet pipeline 21, and an outlet end 1112 of the inner tube body 111 is communicated with the liquid outlet pipeline 22.

[0063] When cleaning the gaps 121 between the multiple fins 12 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1, it is only necessary to rotate the outer tube body 112 to drive the multiple fins 12 to rotate circumferentially around the heat exchange tube 11. There is no relative rotation or movement between the inner tube body 111 and the liquid inlet pipeline 21 and the liquid outlet pipeline 22 connected thereto, thereby avoiding a reduction in the sealing between the inner tube body 111 and the liquid inlet pipeline 21 and the liquid outlet pipeline 22, and ensuring that no refrigerant medium leaks between the inner tube body 111 and the liquid inlet pipeline 21 and the liquid outlet pipeline 22.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, each heat exchange tube assembly 1 further includes: a first gear 13, the first gear 13 is connected to the outer tube body 112 to drive the outer tube body 112 to rotate. A plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are arranged in parallel, and the first gears 13 of the plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are meshed in sequence, wherein the first gear 13 of each heat exchange tube assembly 1 is meshed with the first gear 13 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1.

[0065] The first gear 13 of each heat exchange tube assembly 1 is meshed with the first gear 13 of the adjacent heat exchange tube assembly 1. When the first gear 13 of the heat exchange tube assembly 1 and one of the first gears 13 adjacent to the heat exchange tube assembly 1 rotate, the first gear 13 of the other can be driven to rotate, thereby causing the adjacent outer tube bodies 112 to rotate simultaneously and in opposite directions, so that the gaps 121 between the multiple fins 12 of each of the adjacent heat exchange tube assemblies 1 can be cleaned, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency of the heat exchange device 100.

[0066] Furthermore, the heat exchange device 100 of the embodiment of the utility model further includes a driver 31 and a second gear 32. The driver 31 is used to drive the second gear 32 to rotate, and the first gears 13 of the plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1 are meshed in sequence, and the second gear 32 is meshed with the first gear 13 of one of the plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1. Thus, the second gear 32 is driven to rotate by the driver 31, and the second gear 32 drives the first gear 13 matched therewith to rotate, and sequentially drives the first gears 13 of the other plurality of heat exchange tube assemblies 1, so that the plurality of outer tube bodies 112 rotate, which not only greatly improves the cleaning efficiency of the heat exchange device 100, but also facilitates operation.

[0067] In some embodiments, each heat exchange tube assembly 1 further includes a heat conducting medium (not shown in the figure), and the heat conducting medium is filled in the matching gap 121 between the inner tube body 111 and the outer tube body 112. The inner tube body 111 and the outer tube body 112 are filled with the heat conducting medium, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the inner tube body 111 and the outer tube body 112.

[0068] Furthermore, the heat-conducting medium is a fluid, which not only improves the heat exchange efficiency between the inner tube body 111 and the outer tube body 112, but also can play a lubricating role between the inner tube body 111 and the outer tube body 112, so that the outer tube body 112 rotates more smoothly.

[0069] Preferably, the heat transfer medium is heat transfer oil, for example, alkylbenzene type heat transfer oil, or alkylnaphthalene type heat transfer oil, or the heat transfer medium may also be other heat transfer oils.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 8 As shown, the heat exchange device 100 of the embodiment of the utility model further includes a first bracket 4 and a second bracket 5, and a plurality of outer tubes 112 are connected between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 5. Each outer tube 112 includes a first end 1121 and a second end 1122 that are opposite to each other in the length direction of the heat exchange tube 11.
