Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of boiler parts, and particularly relates to a connecting device for serpentine convection heating surface tubes and tubes. Background Technique
[0002] A boiler is an energy conversion device. The energy input into the boiler includes the chemical energy in fuel, electric energy, and the boiler outputs steam with a certain heat energy, high-temperature water or organic heat carrier. Among the boiler parts, there is a serpentine tube. The serpentine tube convection heating surface is widely used in boilers. In order to ensure the effective and uniform heat absorption of the serpentine tube, the distance between the serpentine tubes is required to be uniform, so as to ensure the uniform flue gas flow rate;
[0003] During operation, problems often occur due to different expansion amounts or disturbances from external flue gas and internal steam medium, causing the tubes or the fixed parts with pipe clamps to shake and impact, resulting in problems such as misalignment, disorder, deformation of the serpentine tube group and tube damage, bringing potential hidden dangers and problems to the safe operation of the unit;
[0004] Chinese Patent (Publication No.: CN207455559U) discloses a fixing device for a serpentine tube group of a boiler convection heating surface.

[0005] Although this technology solves the potential hidden dangers existing in the operation of the device, there are still certain defects. At present, the serpentine tube heating surfaces are all clamped with splints or directly welded with connecting steel plates between the tubes to control the distance between the convection heating surface tubes. The splint structure requires die pressing, and the steel plate connection limits the mutual expansion of the tubes. Especially for the convection heating surface with a large coefficient of thermal expansion such as stainless steel in the high-temperature heating surface, expansion inconsistency often occurs, resulting in weld cracking and operation accidents. Therefore, a connecting device is needed to effectively control the distance between the serpentine tube heating surfaces and ensure that the tubes have a certain free expansion distance.

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0028] A connecting device for a serpentine tube convection heating surface tube and a tube, comprising a first fixing mechanism 1. A connecting mechanism 2 is fixedly installed at the front end of the first fixing mechanism 1. A second fixing mechanism 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the connecting mechanism 2. The first fixing mechanism 1 is composed of a left clamping piece 11 and a right clamping piece 16. The right clamping piece 16 is movably installed at the front end of the left clamping piece 11. A hinge 15 is provided at the connection between the right ends of the left clamping piece 11 and the right clamping piece 16. The connecting mechanism 2 is composed of a first splicing plate 21 and a second splicing plate 27. The first splicing plate 21 is fixedly installed at the front end of the first fixing mechanism 1. The second splicing plate 27 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the second fixing mechanism 3. Through the cooperation among the first fixing mechanism 1, the connecting mechanism 2, and the second fixing mechanism 3, while playing a limiting role on the serpentine tube, it can well ensure the lateral pitch between the serpentine tubes and ensure the free expansion of the serpentine tube in the longitudinal direction, enabling the serpentine tube to better and more evenly receive the convective heat from the flue gas and achieving a better heat exchange effect. The left clamping piece 11 and the right clamping piece 16 have the same structure, and they are circular after being closed. The first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 have the same structure. An arc-shaped chamber 12 is opened inside the left clamping piece 11. An inner clamping piece 13 is movably installed inside the arc-shaped chamber 12. The inner clamping piece 13 is located inside the inner ring of the left clamping piece 11. A number of first springs 14 are provided between the inner clamping piece 13 and the left clamping piece 11 inside the arc-shaped chamber 12. The diameter of the circle formed by the two groups of inner clamping pieces 13 after the left clamping piece 11 and the right clamping piece 16 are fixed is smaller than the diameter of the serpentine tube. The length of one group of limiting grooves 29 is greater than the length of one group of pressing blocks 25. The distance between the two groups of limiting grooves 29 is smaller than the distance between the two groups of pressing blocks 25.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the current serpentine tube heating surface controls the spacing of the convective heating surface tubes by clamping the tubes with splints or directly welding connecting steel plates between the tubes. The splint structure requires die pressing, and the steel plate connection limits the expansion between the tubes. Especially for the convective heating surface with a large coefficient of thermal expansion such as stainless steel in the high-temperature heating surface, the inconsistent expansion often causes the weld to crack and leads to operation accidents. This device solves such problems through the design of the first fixing mechanism 1, the connecting mechanism 2, and the second fixing mechanism 3. When in use, the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 of the first fixing mechanism 1 and the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 of the second fixing mechanism 3 are opened, and they are respectively sleeved on the corresponding serpentine tube. Then, the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 are fixed by welding. After the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 are fixed, the diameter of the circle formed by the two sets of inner clips 13 inside is smaller than the diameter of the serpentine tube, so that the two sets of inner clips 13 are clamped on both sides of the tube. When the serpentine tube expands due to heat, the arc-shaped chamber 12 allows the inner clip 13 to have a certain space for movement. Thus, the inner clip 13 inside the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 will contract inward and compress the first spring 14. When the serpentine tube cools down and shrinks after no longer being heated, the first spring 14 keeps the inner clip 13 in a state of clamping the tube all the time. The first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 are connected by the connecting mechanism 2. Through the design that the length of a set of limit slots 29 is greater than the length of a set of pressing blocks 25, and the distance between the two sets of limit slots 29 is less than the distance between the two sets of pressing blocks 25, the distance between the two sets of tubes is reduced when the serpentine tube expands, and the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 can also be reduced through the connecting mechanism 2. Through the above design, while this device has a limiting effect on the serpentine tubes, it avoids the occurrence of operation accidents.
[0030] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, a lock chamber 22 is opened inside the first splicing plate 21. A set of lock plates 23 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides inside the lock chamber 22. A second spring 26 is fixedly installed between the two sets of lock plates 23. Two groups of pressing blocks 25 are fixedly installed at the front ends of the two sets of lock plates 23, and the two groups of pressing blocks 25 both extend out of the two side surfaces of the first splicing plate 21. Two groups of lock heads 24 are fixedly installed at the rear ends of the two sets of lock plates 23, and the lock heads 24 both extend out of the two side surfaces of the first splicing plate 21. A splicing chamber 28 is opened inside the second splicing plate 27. A number of groups of limit slots 29 are opened on the left and right inner walls of the splicing chamber 28. The first splicing plate 21 is inserted into the second splicing plate 27 through the splicing chamber 28.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the models of the serpentine tubes are different, resulting in different distances between the serpentine tubes. The device is designed with a connecting mechanism 2 to have the ability to adjust the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3, improving the applicability of the device. The connecting mechanism 2 is composed of a first splicing plate 21 and a second splicing plate 27. A lock is arranged in the first splicing plate 21, which is composed of two groups of lock plates 23. A corresponding limiting groove 29 is arranged in the second splicing plate 27. When adjusting the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3, first press the lock heads 24 on the left and right sides of the first splicing plate 21 to reduce the distance between the two groups of lock plates 23 in the lock chamber 22, so that the pressing block 25 extending out of the first splicing plate 21 retracts into the lock chamber 22. At this time, the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 is adjusted according to the distance between the tubes. After adjustment, release the lock head 24. Due to the existence of the second spring 26, the pressing block 25 extends out of the first splicing plate 21 again, and the pressing block 25 is inserted into the limiting groove 29 to complete the adjustment of the first splicing plate 21 and the second splicing plate 27.
[0032] Working principle: When in use, open the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 of the first fixing mechanism 1 and the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 of the second fixing mechanism 3, and respectively put them on the corresponding serpentine tube. Then fix the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 by welding. After the left clip 11 and the right clip 16 are fixed, the circular diameter formed by the two sets of inner clips 13 inside is smaller than the diameter of the serpentine tube, so that the two sets of inner clips 13 clamp on both sides of the tube. When the serpentine tube expands due to heat, the arc-shaped chamber 12 enables the inner clip 13 to have a certain movement space. Thus, the inner clip 13 inside the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 will shrink inward and compress the first spring 14. When the serpentine tube no longer heats up and cools down and shrinks, the first spring 14 enables the inner clip 13 to always maintain the state of clamping the tube. The first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 are connected by a connecting mechanism 2. Through the design that the length of a set of limit slots 29 is greater than the length of a set of pressing blocks 25, and the distance between the two sets of limit slots 29 is less than the distance between the two sets of pressing blocks 25, when the serpentine tube expands, the distance between the two sets of tubes shrinks, and the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 can also be reduced through the connecting mechanism 2. Through the above design, the device has a limiting effect on the serpentine tubes and avoids the occurrence of operating accidents; through the design of the connecting mechanism 2, it has the ability to adjust the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3, improving the applicability of the device. The connecting mechanism 2 consists of a first splicing plate 21 and a second splicing plate 27. A lock formed by two sets of lock plates 23 is arranged inside the first splicing plate 21, and corresponding limit slots 29 are arranged inside the second splicing plate 27. When adjusting the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3, first press the lock heads 24 on the left and right sides of the first splicing plate 21 to reduce the distance between the two sets of lock plates 23 inside the lock chamber 22, so that the pressing blocks 25 extending out of the first splicing plate 21 retract into the lock chamber 22. At this time, adjust the distance between the first fixing mechanism 1 and the second fixing mechanism 3 according to the distance between the tubes. After adjustment, release the lock heads 24. Due to the existence of the second spring 26, the pressing blocks 25 extend out of the first splicing plate 21 again, and the pressing blocks 25 are stuck into the limit slots 29 to complete the adjustment of the first splicing plate 21 and the second splicing plate 27.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalently replace some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
