Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchanger cleaning, in particular to a cleaning device for heat exchanger tubes. Background Art
[0002] As a heat exchanger widely used in current industrial production, the shell-and-tube heat exchanger has the advantages of good heat transfer effect, large area, simple structure, etc. During the long-term use of the pipes of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger, the problem of scale formation inside the tubes will occur, which affects the heat transfer effect and makes the production system unable to operate stably for a long time. The traditional cleaning method for heat exchanger tubes mainly adopts the method of flushing with high-pressure cleaning liquid. When there is less dirt inside the heat exchanger tubes, the method of high-pressure flushing has obvious effect. However, when the dirt inside the heat exchanger tubes is thick, the method of high-pressure flushing is difficult to effectively clean the thick dirt attached to the inner wall of the heat exchanger tubes. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve the problem that the existing method of flushing with high-pressure cleaning liquid cannot effectively clean the heat exchanger tubes with thick dirt inside, the utility model provides a new cleaning device for heat exchanger tubes.
[0004] The utility model is realized by adopting the following technical scheme:
[0005] A cleaning device for heat exchanger tubes includes a water drill, a connecting pipe, and a drill bit. The drill bit is coaxially fixed at the opening of the first end of the connecting pipe. The second end of the connecting pipe is coaxially fixed to the threaded connection end of the water drill and is in sealed communication with the output shaft of the water drill (it is well known to those skilled in the art that the output shaft and the threaded connection end of the water drill are existing structures of the existing water drill. The threaded connection end itself is used to connect the water drill bit directly equipped with the water drill. The water drill bit directly equipped with the water drill is generally used for wall hole opening, with a large diameter and a short length, and cannot extend deep into the heat exchanger tubes to clean the dirt inside the heat exchanger tubes). The first end of the connecting pipe is provided with an inclined hole that is inclined towards the second end of the connecting pipe.
[0006] During use, align the drill bit in the device with the port of the heat exchanger tube, then turn on the water drill. The drill bit rotates to peel off the dirt inside the heat exchanger tube, and at the same time, water is introduced so that the water sequentially enters the output shaft of the water drill, the connecting pipe, and finally the water is discharged through the inclined hole into the heat exchanger tube and discharged towards the second end of the heat exchanger tube, so that the dirt peeled off by the drill bit inside the heat exchanger tube is discharged with the water flow rotating, thus completing the cleaning of the dirt inside the heat exchanger tube.
[0007] Further, the device further includes a threaded connection cylinder. The head end of the threaded connection cylinder is hermetically sleeved on the tail end of the connecting pipe. The inner wall of the tail end of the threaded connection cylinder is provided with an internal thread adapted to the threaded connection end of the water drill. The tail end of the threaded connection cylinder is threadedly connected to the threaded connection end of the water drill. This structure facilitates the installation and disassembly between the connecting pipe and the water drill.
[0008] Further, the water drill is a water drill with a water seal.
[0009] Further, the diameter of the inclined hole is 3 mm.
[0010] Further, the connecting pipe is a stainless steel tube.
[0011] Further, the outer diameter of the connecting pipe is equal to the diameter of the drill bit.
[0012] The beneficial effects produced by the present utility model are as follows: The heat exchanger tube cleaning device described in the present utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, convenient use, and can effectively clean the thicker dirt inside the heat exchanger tubes, thereby ensuring the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger and ensuring the normal operation of the production system.
