Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of heat exchange, and particularly to a suspended heat exchange element for heating and heat exchanging a liquid to increase the liquid temperature. Background Art

[0002] Maintaining a liquid at a constant temperature is a common requirement in the prior art. In the common methods of heating a liquid or performing energy exchange, the most direct way is to directly contact heat energy with water and use the method of contact conduction of heat energy to increase or maintain the liquid temperature. However, even when directly contacting heat energy with the liquid for heat exchange to increase the liquid temperature, different contact methods, such as the position of the heat source, the state of the liquid, and other factors, will affect the heating effect, especially energy consumption and heating efficiency.

[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model intends to provide a heat exchange assembly that can significantly improve the heating effect on the liquid, especially in an unstable state of the liquid, such as in the field of liquid transportation, making the heating of the liquid more stable and the energy utilization rate higher. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims at the common defects in heating a liquid in the prior art and provides a suspended heat exchange element. The suspended heat exchange element includes a body and a heat exchange assembly. The characteristic is that the heat exchange assembly is fixed on the body; a connecting part is arranged on the body, and during use, the connecting part provides tension (tensile force) for the body to ensure that the body floats in the liquid.

[0005] In the prior art for heating a liquid, the heating assembly is often placed in the liquid, and the heating assembly will sink to the bottom of the water. At this time, when the heating assembly generates heat, part of the heat will be lost due to contact with the bottom container, resulting in low heating efficiency; another method is to use steam or liquid heat energy for heating. Usually, a pipeline is used as the steam channel. After the steam is introduced, the pipeline will float on the liquid surface, and the pipeline is unstable in the liquid and may leak, polluting the liquid; in addition, for pipeline heating, weights are usually applied to the pipeline or the pipeline is fixed to the side of the container, but this method is difficult to avoid the problem of heat loss, and there is also a certain damage to the container.

[0006] The concept of the utility model is to provide a suspended heat exchange element. The suspended heat exchange element includes a body and a heat exchange assembly. Generally, when the suspended heat exchange element is in use, it floats in the middle of the liquid in the liquid. At this time, the energy introduced from the outside in the heat exchange assembly can be completely exchanged with the liquid, and there is no heat energy loss.

[0007] Furthermore, the body is connected to the heat exchange assembly through a first fixing member;

[0008] The connection method of the first fixing member is not further limited, including using one or more of a tightening belt, a tie, and a buckle, or a method such as adhesion can also be used;

[0009] In some embodiments, fixing positions are provided on the body, and the first fixing member fixes the heat exchange component to the body through the fixing positions.

[0010] It should be noted that the fixing positions are designed according to the fixing method of the first fixing member. For example, when using a tightening belt for fixing, the fixing position can be a fixing hole;

[0011] In some embodiments, the structure of the body can be a sheet structure, a rectangular three-dimensional structure, or a spherical structure;

[0012] It should be noted that when the suspended heat exchange member performs heat exchange in a liquid, it is not suspended on the liquid, but is suspended in the liquid through the balance among buoyancy, the gravity of the suspended heat exchange member, and external forces. Therefore, the body of the suspended heat exchange member provides buoyancy for the suspended heat exchange member, and the magnitude of the buoyancy will be selected according to materials and structural shapes.

[0013] Furthermore, the suspended heat exchange member can be connected to a liquid container, and the liquid container applies an external force to maintain the balance among the buoyancy, the gravity of the suspended heat exchange member, and the external forces acting on the suspended heat exchange member.

[0014] In some embodiments, the body further includes a second fixing member;

[0015] The second fixing member is in a strip, sheet, or cord shape;

[0016] One end of the second fixing member is connected to the body of the suspended heat exchange member;

[0017] The connection method is hot melt connection, sewing connection, or adhesive connection.

[0018] The other end of the second fixing member is connected to the liquid container, and the connection method is hot melt connection, sewing connection, or adhesive connection.

[0019] In some embodiments, at least one through hole is included in the structure of the body;

[0020] During the liquid heating process, due to the temperature gradient generated between the liquid around the heat exchange component, and through the design of the through hole, eddy currents are likely to be generated near the through hole of the suspended heat exchange member. The generation of these eddy currents will significantly improve the heat exchange performance and significantly improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the direction of the through hole is basically consistent with the buoyancy direction of the body;

[0022] For special liquid heat exchange fields, such as the liquid transportation field, due to the inertia during liquid transportation, certain fluctuations are caused, which will further affect the unbalanced force on the suspended heat exchange component, resulting in a relatively large range of movement. In severe cases, it will cause tearing damage to the suspended heat exchange component and the second fixing component. A plurality of through holes substantially consistent with the buoyancy direction of the body are provided on the body of the suspended heat exchange component, which can significantly reduce the fluctuations caused by transportation and improve the stability of the suspended heating unit.

[0023] Furthermore, the heat exchange component is one or a combination of a flexible hose, an electric heating wire, and an electric heating plate;

For example, through components such as electric heating wires and electric heating plates, electrical energy can be converted into heat energy here and exchanged with the transported liquid; for heat exchange pipes, heat exchange is carried out here through steam, hot oil, or hot water.

[0031] The first fixing component fixes the heat exchange component through the fixing holes;

[0032] At this time, the flexible hose is mainly heated by steam. Filling steam into the flexible hose will cause the volume of the suspended heat exchange component to increase, and thus the buoyancy to increase, realizing the suspended state in the liquid; the heat exchange component can be fixedly connected to the body through a tightening belt or a tie;

[0033] Furthermore, the sheet-shaped body includes a connecting portion that can be directly connected to the liquid container;

[0034] Or, it is connected to the liquid container through a second fixing component;

[0035] The second fixing component is a strip-shaped, sheet-shaped, or rope-shaped structure;

[0036] In this solution, the body is in a sheet structure, including a combination of a fabric mode and a flexible hose as the heat exchange component. At this time, most of the buoyancy is provided by the whole, and is brought about by the increase in the volume of the flexible hose caused by steam. At this time, the body can maintain the stability of the flexible pipe without dispersion;

[0043] Furthermore, the rectangular three-dimensional structure body is prepared into a lightweight structure through a foaming process;

[0044] In this solution, the buoyancy of the floating heat exchange element is mainly brought by the body itself; at this time, the application scope of the solution is wider;

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Reagents not specifically described in detail in the present utility model are all conventional reagents and can be obtained from commercial channels; methods not specifically described in detail are all conventional experimental methods and can be learned from the prior art.

[0062] The present utility model provides a suspension heat exchange member. Refer to Figure 1 , in this drawing, the suspension heat exchange assembly includes a suspension heat exchange member body 1, which is made of flexible materials, including flexible film materials and textile materials; and a heat exchange assembly 2, which is attached to the body 1. In this embodiment, the heat exchange assembly 2 is a flexible hose; wherein, the heat exchange assembly 2 is fixed to the body 1 through a first fixing member 12. In the Figure 1 shown, the first fixing member 12 is a restraint band; further, a fixing position 13 is also provided on the body 1, and the first fixing member 12 is generally fixed to the heat exchange assembly 2 through the fixing position 13.

[0063] In another embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , this figure shows an application solution of the suspension heat exchange member provided by the present invention in a flexible transport bag. It can be seen that the suspension heat exchange member is in a use state in a container 3, and this container can be a flexible transport bag or other containers that need to heat liquids. From the Figure 3 schematic, it can be seen that in the use state, the suspension heat exchange assembly is suspended in the container 3. Further, it can be seen that in the container, the suspension heat exchange member is in a suspended state in the container. It should be noted that in this Figure 2 figure, the liquid is not shown;

[0064] Further, in Figure 2 , the suspension heat exchange member body 1 is made of a flexible thin film material, the heat exchange assembly 2 is a flexible hose. After the flexible hose is connected to the input of external steam or heat exchange liquid, the flexible heat exchange member will float due to buoyancy and is fixed at a specific position in the container 3 through a second fixing member 14. Through the suspended state, the heat exchange efficiency is greatly improved and the energy consumption is reduced.

[0065] Further, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 shows the force conditions of the suspension heat exchange assembly in the solution. In Figure 3 , the liquid is not shown. At the same time, this Figure 3Still taking the solution where the main body 1 is made of a flexible film material and the heat exchange component 2 is a flexible hose as an example, during the suspension process of the suspended heat exchange element, it is affected by the gravity G, and at the same time, the whole is affected by the upward buoyancy F in the liquid. 浮 At this time, when the buoyancy G is greater than the gravity F, the second fixing member 14 provides a downward pulling force F for the suspended heat exchange assembly, and in the case where the buoyancy F 浮 , gravity G, and pulling force F are balanced; or, when the buoyancy G is less than the gravity F, the second fixing member 14 provides an upward pulling force F for the suspended heat exchange assembly to achieve the balance of the buoyancy F 浮 , gravity G, and pulling force F; at this time, it is possible to achieve the suspended state of the suspended heat exchange assembly in the liquid.

[0066] In addition, Figure 3 it should also be noted that the heat exchange component 2 of the suspended heat exchange element is a flexible hose. During the heating process of the liquid, the introduced steam will greatly increase the buoyancy of the suspended heat exchange element. At the same time, the main body 1 of the suspended heat exchange element can ensure that the heat exchange component 2 does not shake after inflation through the first fixing member binding belt, and stably suspends in the liquid to be transported with the main body.

[0067] The present invention also provides another set of embodiments to show the connection manner between the second fixing member 14 of the suspended heat exchange element and the main body 1 of the suspended heat exchange element. Specifically, the second fixing member 14 is connected to the main body 1 of the suspended heat exchange element at the connection with the main body 11. For the specific first fixing member, refer to the attached drawing 4, where Figure 4 in the solution of (a), the second fixing member 14 is a sheet-shaped second fixing member, including known sheet materials such as films and textile materials; Figure 4 in the solution of (b), the second fixing member 14 is a rope-shaped second fixing member, which is generally understood as a rope; and Figure 4 in the solution of (c), the second fixing member 14 is a strip-shaped second fixing member, which is generally understood as a sheet strip. In the working state of the suspended heat exchange element, the second fixing member mainly plays the role of fixing the suspended position of the suspended heat exchange element. It has been previously described that when the buoyancy F 浮 , gravity G, and pulling force F are balanced, the suspended state can be achieved. At this time, the fixing position of the second fixing member determines the pulling force direction. Therefore, the setting of the second fixing member will be adjusted according to the magnitudes of the buoyancy F 浮 and gravity G.

[0068] In another set of embodiments, the specific structure of the suspended heat exchange element is limited. Refer to Figure 5 , the main body 1 of the suspended heat exchange element can present different forms, where Figure 5 in (d) shows a flexible film shape, and Figure 5 in (e) shows a rectangular three-dimensional shape. Figure 5Figure (f) shows a spherical state; further, through holes 15 are provided on the body 1 of the suspended heat exchanger. Among them, a plurality of through holes that are basically consistent with the buoyancy direction of the body are provided on the body of the suspended heat exchanger, which can significantly reduce the instability of the suspended heat exchanger caused by liquid fluctuations and improve the stability of the suspended heating unit.

[0069] In addition, it should also be noted that, referring to the appendix Figure 1 For the arrangement of the flexible hose of the heat exchange component 2 on the suspended heat exchange body 1, it is a folded arrangement. This arrangement is mainly to increase the contact area between the heat exchange component 2 and the liquid and improve the heat exchange effect. Based on this, it does not exclude possible arrangement methods including loop, S-shaped and other arrangement methods; for the heat exchange component 2, Figure 1 the energy input component connected thereto is not shown. However, for the heat exchange component 2 provided by the present invention, in addition to the flexible hose solution shown in the embodiment, it also includes other solutions such as heating plates and heating wires. But overall, it is designed based on the situation where the suspended heat exchanger is in a suspended state due to the balance of the buoyancy F 浮 , gravity G and tensile force F. Further, for the solutions of heating plates and heating wires, the heat exchange component can also be fixed to the main body of the suspended heat exchanger using the first fixing member. For the heating plate, its form can be a rigid heating plate or a flexible heating plate, such as a graphene heating plate.

[0070] Further, referring to the solution in Figure 5 Figure (e), the body 1 of the suspended heat exchanger is in a rectangular three-dimensional shape. Through holes that are basically consistent with the buoyancy direction of the body are provided on the body. At the same time, through holes perpendicular to the buoyancy direction can also be provided on the body. When the heat exchange component heats the liquid, the liquid will generate fine vortices in the through holes, and the generation of vortices is more conducive to the heat exchange effect. At the same time, Figure 5 for the spherical body corresponding to the solution in Figure (f), a similar through hole structure can also be provided.

[0071] The above embodiments only illustrate the principles and effects of the present invention by way of example, and are not used to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
