Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of equipment cleaning, and particularly relates to a device for cleaning scale in the pipes of a ship condenser based on cavitating jet. Background Art

[0002] A ship condenser is a device for a refrigeration system to release heat to the surrounding environment and is one of the four major components of a ship refrigeration system. Its main function is to quickly condense high-temperature refrigerant vapor into a liquid and dissipate heat externally to ensure a suitable temperature in the ship's environment. The condenser directly affects the refrigeration efficiency and is related to the operation of the entire ship's equipment and the safety of personnel. And the fouling and blockage of the condenser are one of the important reasons for low refrigeration efficiency; it is necessary to clean the condenser regularly to ensure its normal and safe use.

[0003] The cleaning of scale in the pipes of a ship condenser belongs to physical and chemical cleaning methods. Chemical reagent formulations are made according to the composition of the scale, and appropriate cleaning reagents are prepared for soaking or cleaning, and high-pressure water, ultrasonic waves, etc. are used to clean the scale. However, technologies such as high-pressure water and ultrasonic waves only have obvious cleaning effects on the part near the pipe orifice, and have poor cleaning effects on the scale in the middle part of the pipe, and it is difficult to clean the scale in the pipe completely. In addition, there are alternative solutions such as mechanical brushes, but this method is likely to cause incomplete cleaning or damage to the pipe wall, resulting in accelerated scale accumulation in the follow-up. Therefore, there is a lack of an efficient and convenient cleaning device in this field to ensure the cleaning effect and expected use of the ship condenser.

[0004] Existing cleaning and maintenance methods (including high-pressure water, ultrasonic waves, mechanical brushes, etc.) for condenser cleaning either have incomplete cleaning, or cause damage to the pipe wall, or are time-consuming, laborious and require a large economic investment.

[0005] Considering the difficulty in cleaning the inside of the pipe and the irregular appearance of the pipe scale, two cleaning errors are likely to occur during the cavitating jet cleaning process: one is the cleaning error introduced by the non-correspondence between the position of the bubble explosion and the position of the pipe scale; the other is the cleaning error of the bubble explosion introduced by the height of the liquid level of the reagent. Close to the bubble explosion part, the cleaning effect is good, and below the liquid level, far from the bubble explosion part, the cleaning effect gradually becomes worse.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new device for cleaning scale in the pipes of a condenser to solve the above technical problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0007] The present utility model provides a device for cleaning scale in the pipes of a ship condenser based on cavitating jet. The specific scheme is as follows: A device for cleaning scale in the pipes of a ship condenser based on cavitating jet, comprising:

[0008] A bubble dense array device, which is composed of uniformly arranged and combined bubble holes carried on a plate body;

[0009] Bubble generating device, the bubble generating device includes a driving motor, a driving shaft, a lateral connecting rod, a propeller, a transmission shaft, an air pump, a check valve and an air pipe; the area where the bubble generating device is located is divided into a first cavity and a second cavity, the driving motor is arranged in the first cavity, the driving of the driving motor is divided into two driving outputs, the first output end is sequentially transmitted through the driving shaft and the lateral connecting rod, the end of the lateral connecting rod away from the driving motor extends into the space of the second cavity, and the propeller is arranged at the end of the lateral connecting rod; the second output end is sequentially transmitted through the transmission shaft and the air pump, the air outlet end of the air pump extends into the second cavity through the air pipe, the air outlet of the air pipe is located below the propeller, and the check valve is arranged on the air pipe;

[0010] The bubble dense array device is located in the second cavity, arranged above the propeller, and there is a liquid collection space from the upper surface of the second cavity. A slow medicine discharge hole is opened on the outer side wall of the second cavity near the upper surface of the bubble dense array device.

[0011] Further, the bubble dense array device includes a bubble size adjustment structure, which is formed by stacking two or more plate bodies arranged in an interleaved manner. Adjacent two plates can slide along the stacking surface, and there is at least one position where the bubble holes of different plates correspond and coincide one by one.

[0012] Further, the bubble dense array device is made of anti-corrosion and acid-resistant materials.

[0013] Further, a gear shift key is arranged on the driving motor, and a gear lever is also arranged on the lateral connecting rod. The gear lever is used to adjust the angle between the propeller blades and the axis of the lateral connecting rod.

[0014] Further, a handle is arranged on the outer side wall of the second cavity.

[0015] Further, a special-shaped part positioning fixture is arranged in the second cavity.

[0016] This technical solution can adopt a pinhole-type bubble dense array with a diameter of millimeter level, add an auxiliary slow medicine discharge hole. As the medicine is slowly discharged, the liquid level of the medicine drops, and the position of the bubble air explosion also drops. Just check the cleaning situation of the tube scale with the naked eye, and repeat the cleaning operation until the tube wall is basically clean without scale and no obvious tube scale can be observed with the naked eye, reducing the above two errors. The condenser tube is cleaned throughout. Since the air explosion energy of the bubble is the largest at the liquid level, only need to submerge the liquid level over the condenser waiting for cleaning equipment. As the medicine discharge hole is opened and the liquid level drops, the tube can be cleaned throughout, which is simple and effective.

[0017] The utility model also has the following beneficial effects: the tubular object has a good descaling effect: the pinhole-type bubble dense array can continuously generate a large number of energy bubbles of required size, forming an energy network sufficient to remove scale, and has a good descaling effect.

[0018] Applicable to the cleaning of the inner wall of any tubular object. The multi-gear drive motor, adjustable propeller and dual-axis independent control design can form energy bubbles of small quantity and size. The design and adjustment can be made according to the size of the condenser to be cleaned, and it is suitable for cleaning the inner wall of any diameter tubular object.

[0019] Simple structure, easy to move, small space occupation. The device basically consists of a bubble generating device and a bubble dense array device. It has a simple structure, is portable, occupies a small area, and does not require a special site or special electricity requirements.

[0020] Easy to transform, convenient for other fields of descaling applications. Due to the simplicity of the structure, it is suitable for improvements in other descaling fields, such as vegetable washing, etc., mobile descaling devices, etc., which can be realized by slightly improving and combining the present utility model.

[0021] Therefore, the pinhole bubble dense array tube wall cleaning device based on cavitation jet has outstanding advantages and positive effects in the field of tube wall cleaning such as condensers. It can provide full-process cleaning and high-efficiency cleaning results in the tube, covering a wide range of tubular cleaning fields, with advantages such as simple structure, easy to move and operate, and showing excellent easy improvement and integration capabilities with other fields. This makes the device have broad application prospects in tubular inner wall cleaning and other aspects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
