Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of heat exchangers, in particular to a welding structure of a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] The shell and tube heat exchanger is mainly composed of the shell, tube bundle, tube sheet and head. The shell is mostly circular, with parallel tube bundles or spiral tubes installed inside. The two ends of the tube bundle are fixed to the tube sheet. The two fluids that exchange heat in the shell and tube heat exchanger, one flows inside the tube, and its stroke is called the tube side; the other flows outside the tube, and its stroke is called the shell side. The wall of the tube bundle is the heat transfer surface. The welding of the tube and the tube sheet in the heat exchanger directly affects the manufacture and use of the heat exchanger. The connection strength and sealing performance are directly related to the service time and whether there is leakage.

[0003] Please refer to the existing document (patent application number 202222129182.5), which discloses the welding structure of heat exchange tubes and tube sheets that is commonly used in the prior art. After the heat exchange tubes are inserted into the tube holes of the tube sheets, their heads extend out of the tube sheets, and then the heat exchange tubes and tube sheets are welded by fillet welding. This welding structure of heat exchange tubes and tube sheets has no problem when applied to horizontal heat exchangers, but when it is applied to vertical heat exchangers, this welding structure easily causes the tube side medium to accumulate above the tube sheets, thereby affecting the heat exchange efficiency. In order to solve this problem, a technology The industry later adopted a deep hole welding structure for the heat exchange tube and the tube sheet. Please refer to the existing literature (patent application number 200920013093.6), which discloses this structure, that is, the end of the heat exchange tube is retracted into the tube hole of the tube sheet, and then welding is achieved in the tube hole. Although this structure can prevent the end of the heat exchange tube from protruding from the end face of the tube sheet, since the welding point is set in the tube hole of the heat exchange tube, it requires special welding equipment and a highly automated welding technology to complete, which greatly reduces the work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a welding structure of heat exchange tubes and tube sheets that can solve the above technical problems. [Contents of the utility model]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a welding structure of heat exchange tubes and tube sheets that can be easily welded.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a welding structure of a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet, comprising: a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet, wherein the tube sheet is provided with a tube hole, the tube sheet is provided with an upper end surface, the end of the tube hole close to the upper end surface is provided with a hexagonal chamfer, the heat exchange tube is passed through the tube hole of the tube sheet, and a welding space is formed between the top surface of the heat exchange tube and the highest position of the tube hole.

[0007] Preferably, the welding structure of a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet in the utility model is further configured as follows: the chamfered inclined surface and the hole wall of the tube hole are arranged at an angle of 135°.

[0008] Preferably, a welding structure of a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet in the utility model is further configured as follows: the chamfer forms six straight edges on the upper end surface of the tube sheet, and the straight edges of every two adjacent chamfers overlap.

[0009] Preferably, a welding structure of a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet in the utility model is further configured as follows: a distance between the top surface of the heat exchange tube and the highest position of the tube hole is 4 mm.

[0010] Preferably, a welding structure of a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet in the utility model is further configured as follows: an upper surface of the weld in the welding space and the chamfered inclined surface are located in the same plane.

[0011] Preferably, the welding structure of a heat exchange tube and a tube sheet in the utility model is further configured as follows: the chamfer depth is 7 mm.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model forms a welding space between the top surface of the heat exchange tube and the highest position of the tube hole, thereby enabling the heat exchange tube to achieve inner hole welding, thereby avoiding the accumulation of tube-side medium on the tube sheet; in addition, the utility model provides a hexagonal chamfer at the end of the tube hole close to the upper end surface, thereby achieving the maximum opening degree of the chamfer while satisfying the heat exchange area, thereby facilitating the operation of inner hole welding, reducing the difficulty of welding, and improving work efficiency. (If the heat exchange tubes are arranged more sparsely, of course the spacing between the heat exchange tubes will be larger, and there will be enough chamfer space, but the problem is that the heat exchange area cannot meet the design requirements. Therefore, in order to make the heat exchange area meet the design requirements, the heat exchange tubes are generally arranged more densely, and the spacing between the heat exchange tubes is very small. Then, under the limited spacing, the chamfer must achieve the maximum openness to facilitate welding in the tube hole. We thought of designing the chamfer shape into a hexagon to solve this technical problem. If it is designed to be circular, there will be overlapping parts between adjacent circles at the maximum diameter, which makes it impossible to process).
