Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of evaporators, in particular to a tube-plate evaporator for a chiller. Background Art

[0002] In the refrigeration industry, there are two types of chillers: air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers. According to the compressor, they are divided into screw chillers, scroll chillers, and centrifugal chillers. Chillers generally consist of compressors, evaporators, condensers, and expansion valves, thus achieving the cooling and heating effects of the unit.

[0003] After long-term use, the existing evaporator generally needs to be disassembled and repaired regularly for the evaporation tube. Therefore, some people think of installing the evaporation tube on the aluminum plate in a snap-on manner to facilitate later disassembly and assembly. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN213841405U specifically discloses a tube-plate evaporator of a compressed air precooling unit.

[0004] However, in actual use, people will find that the evaporator tube installation structure adopted by the above-mentioned tube-plate evaporator realizes the restriction of the fixing ring by the elastic force of the spring, but the spring force is easily affected by temperature. When the spring is in a high temperature environment, the elasticity will decrease accordingly, and when the spring is in a low temperature environment, its material will become more fragile and prone to cracks or breakage, which will also cause force attenuation, making the fixing effect of the evaporator tube very unstable. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the pressing plate is an arc-shaped plate, and the cross section of the tube groove is arc-shaped, so as to fit the evaporation tube.

[0009] Preferably, the tube groove is in a continuous S-shape to accommodate the continuous bending of the evaporation tube.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting block is fixed at the bend of the tube groove, and the limiting block is in contact with the evaporation tube. The limiting block plays a role in limiting the evaporation tube to a certain extent.

[0011] Preferably, the pressing plate is made of stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance.

[0012] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided on the inner wall of the pressing plate, and the rubber pad is mainly used to prevent the pressing plate from making hard contact with the evaporating tube and thus preventing the evaporating tube from being damaged.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a tube-plate evaporator of a chiller, comprising an aluminum plate 1 and a locking structure 3, wherein a tube groove 101 is provided on the aluminum plate 1, an evaporating tube 2 is arranged in the tube groove 101, and a plurality of locking structures 3 are arranged on the side of the tube groove 101, the tube groove 101 is provided to limit the evaporating tube 2, and the locking structure 3 is used to lock the evaporating tube 2 on the aluminum plate 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the locking structure 3 includes an articulated seat 301, a connecting shaft 302, a pressing plate 303, a fixing plate 304, a mounting block 305 and a locking screw 306. The articulated seat 301 and the mounting block 305 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the tube groove 101. The connecting shaft 302 is hinged on the articulated seat 301. The pressing plate 303 is located above the evaporation tube 2, and one end of the pressing plate 303 is fixed to the evaporation tube 2. The fixing block is fixed to the other end of the pressing plate 303. The fixing block is fitted with the mounting block 305, a through positioning socket 3041 is provided on the fixing block, a locking screw hole 3051 is provided on the mounting block 305, a locking screw 306 passes through the positioning socket 3041 and is threadedly connected in the locking screw hole 3051 to fix the pressing plate 303; the locking screw 306 is used to lock the fixing plate 304 on the mounting block 305, thereby fixing the pressing plate 303, and thus the evaporation tube 2 is pressed by the pressing plate 303.

[0024] Furthermore, the pressing plate 303 is an arc-shaped plate, and the cross section of the tube groove 101 is an arc-shaped, so as to fit the evaporation tube 2 .

[0025] Furthermore, the tube groove 101 is in a continuous S-shape to accommodate the continuous bending of the evaporation tube 2 .

[0026] Furthermore, a limiting block 4 is fixed at the bending part of the tube groove 101 , and the limiting block 4 is in contact with the evaporation tube 2 . The limiting block 4 plays a role in limiting the evaporation tube 2 to a certain extent.

[0027] Furthermore, the pressing plate 303 is made of stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance.

[0028] Furthermore, a rubber pad is provided on the inner wall of the pressing plate 303 , and the rubber pad is mainly used to prevent the pressing plate 303 from making hard contact with the evaporation tube 2 and thus preventing the evaporation tube 2 from being damaged.

[0029] In summary, when the evaporation tube 2 needs to be removed, the utility model only needs to use a tool to rotate the locking screw 306, screw the locking screw 306 out of the locking screw hole 3051, and then the pressing plate 303 can be flipped, so that the connecting shaft 302 rotates on the hinge seat 301, and the pressing plate 303 is flipped open. Then, the pressing plates 303 on all the locking structures 3 are flipped open in the same way, and then the evaporation tube 2 can be removed from the aluminum plate 1. The operation is simple and easy to understand. When installing, when the pressing plate 303 is fully flipped open, the evaporation tube 2 is installed into the tube groove 101, and then the pressing plate 303 is flipped back so that the pressing plate 303 presses the evaporation tube 2, and at the same time the fixing plate 304 contacts the mounting block 305, and then the locking screw 306 is passed through the positioning socket 3041 on the fixing plate 304, and the locking screw 306 is screwed into the locking screw hole 3051, and the pressing plate 303 can be locked again.
