Embodiment
[0035] Refer to Figures 1-5, which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides an air preheater. This air preheater includes a housing 1, a first filter screen 2 and a heating wire 3 installed inside the housing 1. An air inlet and an air outlet are respectively provided on both sides of the housing 1. A second filter screen 4 is installed on the side of the housing 1 away from the first filter screen 2. The heating wire 3 is located inside the second filter screen 4 and is movably connected thereto. A connecting member 5 is installed at the bottom of the heating wire 3 and inside the second filter screen 4. A positioning member 6 is installed on the inner side of the second filter screen 4 and above the heating wire 3. The second filter screen 4 is arranged in a bin shape and can wrap the heating wire 3 inside to achieve the purpose of collecting its fragments. Insulating plates are installed at both ends of the heating wire 3 to prevent the heat of the heating wire 3 from damaging the rubber balls 54, the fixed arc plate 52 and the movable arc plate 53. By arranging the heating wire 3 inside the second filter screen 4, on the one hand, the air circulation can be maintained, on the other hand, the air that has not been filtered by the first filter screen 2 can be filtered again, and at the same time, the fragments of the heating wire 3 can be collected to prevent the fragments from directly falling inside the housing 1. At the same time, multiple groups of the first filter screen 2 are provided to facilitate more comprehensive filtration of impurities in the air. The connecting member 5 includes a collecting plate 51 located at the inner bottom of the second filter screen 4. A fixed arc plate 52 is fixedly connected inside the collecting plate 51. The fixed arc plate 52 is located on one side of the bottom of the heating wire 3. A movable arc plate 53 is installed on one side of the fixed arc plate 52 and on the other side of the heating wire 3. The movable arc plate 53 is located inside the collecting plate 51 and is movably connected thereto. Annularly arrayed rubber balls 54 are installed on the inner sides of the fixed arc plate 52 and the movable arc plate 53. The rubber balls 54 can increase the friction with the insulating plate to achieve the purpose of stable connection and ensure the stability of the heating wire 3 during installation.
[0036] Both sides of the movable arc plate 53 are fixedly connected with sliders 55. Sliding grooves 56 are opened on the inner side of the collecting plate 51. The sliders 55 are located inside the sliding grooves 56 and are movably connected thereto. The movable arc plate 53 and the collecting plate 51 are movably connected through the sliders 55 and the sliding grooves 56, which can ensure the stability of the movable arc plate 53 during movement and prevent it from directly separating from the collecting plate 51. The inside of the collecting plate 51 is arranged in a groove shape to collect fragments.
[0037] A bolt 58 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the movable arc plate 53. A fixed block 581 is fixedly connected inside the collecting plate 51. The fixed block 581 is located on one side of the movable arc plate 53. One side of the bolt 58 extends to the other side of the fixed block 581 and is threadedly connected thereto. The bolt 58 penetrates through the fixed block 581, which can facilitate the driving of the movable arc plate 53 to achieve the purpose of fixing and disconnecting the insulating plate at the bottom of the heating wire 3. Hexagonal grooves are provided at both ends of the inner side of the movable arc plate 53 and away from both ends of the bolt 58. At the same time, on the inner side of the fixed arc plate 52 and on both sides of the rubber ball 54, hexagonal rods connected by hexagonal grooves are fixedly connected, which can increase the stability when the two are connected.
[0038] A bearing plate 59 is installed on the top of the heating wire 3. Limit blocks 591 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bearing plate 59 and the collecting plate 51. A limit groove 592 is provided inside the second filter screen 4. The limit blocks 591 are located inside the limit groove 592 and are movably connected thereto, which can facilitate the removal of the heating wire 3. At the same time, the inner structures of the bearing plate 59 and the collecting plate 51 are the same.
[0039] A handle 593 is fixedly connected to the top of the bearing plate 59. There are two groups of positioning members 6. The handle 593 is located inside the two groups of positioning members 6. The handle 593 can facilitate the removal of the bearing plate 59, the heating wire 3, and the collecting plate 51.
[0040] The positioning member 6 includes a housing 61 fixed to the top of the bearing plate 59. A slide rod 62 is movably sleeved inside the housing 61. A spring 64 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 62. One end of the slide rod 62 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 63. The diameter of the limit plate 63 is larger than that of the slide rod 62. Both ends of the spring 64 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the limit plate 63 and the housing 61 respectively. The setting of the limit plate 63 is used to position the spring 64 and at the same time prevent one end of the slide rod 62 from sliding out of the outside of the housing 61. The spring 64 can make the slide rod 62 have elastic force.
[0041] A connecting plate 67 is provided on one side of the housing 61. One end of the slide rod 62 extends to the outside of the housing 61 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 67. A pull handle 68 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 67 to facilitate the simultaneous driving of the two slide rods 62.
[0042] A connecting block 65 is fixedly connected to the other end of the limit plate 63 and away from the slide rod 62. A connecting groove 66 is provided inside the second filter screen 4. Both the connecting block 65 and the connecting groove 66 are hexagonal. The connecting block 65 is located inside the connecting groove 66 and is movably connected thereto, which can make the positioning of the bearing plate 59 more accurate. At the same time, whether the two are connected or not can make the heating wire 3 be taken out alone or taken out together with the second filter screen 4.
[0043] During use, air enters the interior of the housing 1 through the air inlet. Multiple groups of first filter nets 2 can intercept impurities and other particles in the air. Subsequently, it contacts the heating wire 3 through the second filter net 4 and forms hot air. When the heating wire 3 needs to be replaced, or it is damaged and drops debris, the debris will directly fall onto the surface of the collection plate 51. At the same time, due to the presence of the second filter net 4, it can prevent the debris from overflowing outside the collection plate 51 and lock the debris inside the collection plate 51. When replacing it, it can be determined whether to replace it according to the degree of blockage of the second filter net 4;
[0044] When only the heating wire 3 needs to be replaced, first, pull the handle 68 so that it drives two groups of sliding rods 62 to move towards the outside of the outer shell 61 through the connecting plate 67. At the same time, the spring 64 is squeezed and deformed, and at the same time, it drives the connection block 65 to disconnect from the connection groove 66 inside the second filter net 4. In this way, the connection between the bearing plate 59 and the second filter net 4 can be cancelled. Subsequently, the heating wire 3 can be directly taken out through the handle 593;
[0045] When disassembling the heating wire 3, reverse-rotate the bolt 58 so that it rotates along the inside of the fixed block 581 and drives the movable arc-shaped plate 53 to move away from the fixed arc-shaped plate 52, so that the movable arc-shaped plate 53 slowly disconnects from the insulating plate, and the heating wire 3 can be disassembled. When replacing the new heating wire 3, rotate the bolt 58 forward until the movable arc-shaped plate 53 is tightly connected to the insulating plate. In this way, the heating wire 3 can be quickly replaced, and this method is simple to operate, avoiding the problem of the cumbersome replacement of the heating wire 3 in the prior art. At the same time, the debris can be collected, further reducing the operation difficulty and time cost. Moreover, this method can replace one group or multiple groups of the heating wire 3 according to the aging degree of the heating wire 3, so as to avoid the phenomenon of wasting resources when replacing multiple groups of heating wires 3 at one time;
[0046] When replacing both the heating wire 3 and the second filter net 4, it is not necessary to pull the handle 68. The connection block 65 is located inside the connection groove 66 by the elastic force of the spring 64 itself, and repeat the above operation of removing the heating wire 3. In this way, the purpose of quickly replacing the second filter net 4 and the heating wire 3 can be achieved, avoiding the problem of time-consuming and laborious operation when replacing the two;
[0047] In addition, the replacement method of the first filter net 2 is the prior art and will not be elaborated here. At the same time, during normal operation, the bearing plate 59 can block the top of the second filter net 4, and there will be no air leakage phenomenon.
[0048] It should be understood that the use of these embodiments is only for illustrating the present utility model and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. In addition, it should also be understood that after reading the technical content of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes, modifications and / or variations to the present utility model, and all these equivalent forms also fall within the protection scope defined by the appended claims of this application.
