Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, in particular to a cooler self-cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] A cooler is a type of heat exchange equipment, primarily used to cool fluids by removing heat through a coolant such as water or air. It is widely used in various industrial sectors, including metallurgy, chemical engineering, energy, transportation, light industry, and food.

[0003] Currently, the main challenges facing shell-and-tube coolers are the presence of impurities in the cooling water. Over time, the mineral deposits within the cooling water form scale, which not only increases the risk of corrosion but also further impairs heat transfer. Furthermore, operators often have difficulty visually determining whether there is blockage within the cooling pipes, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of maintenance and inspection. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a cooler self-cleaning device which not only enables workers to easily determine whether a cooling pipe is clogged by scale, but also can clean the scale in the cooling pipe when the cooling pipe is clogged by scale.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme, which provides a cooler self-cleaning device, including temperature sensors respectively installed on the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe in the cooler, a feeding pipe is provided on the outer wall of the cooling pipe, the two feeding pipes are respectively located at the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe, the two temperature sensors are located between the two feeding pipes, a blocking plate is sealingly and slidingly connected in the feeding pipe, the blocking plate is used to close the cooling pipe, a cavity is provided in each of the blocking plates, a connecting hole connected to the cavity is provided on the side wall of the blocking plate facing the temperature sensor, a through hole connected to the cavity is provided on the side wall of the blocking plate away from the cooling pipe, a driving mechanism for driving the blocking plate to move toward the cooling pipe is provided on the feeding pipe, and the two temperature sensors are electrically connected to the two driving mechanisms respectively.

[0006] During use, the utility model is provided with temperature sensors respectively installed on the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe in the cooler, and a feeding pipe is provided on the outer wall of the cooling pipe. The two feeding pipes are respectively located at the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe, and the two temperature sensors are located between the two feeding pipes. A blocking plate is sealingly and slidingly connected in the feeding pipe. The blocking plate is used to close the cooling pipe. A cavity is provided in the blocking plate. A connecting hole communicating with the cavity is provided on the side wall of the blocking plate facing the temperature sensor, and a through hole communicating with the cavity is provided on the side wall of the blocking plate away from the cooling pipe. A driving The blocking plate is driven by a mechanism that moves toward the cooling pipe. Two temperature sensors are electrically connected to the two driving mechanisms respectively. When the device is in use, the temperature of the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe in the cooler can be detected by the temperature sensors installed on the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe in the cooler respectively. When the temperature of the input end of the cooling pipe in the cooler is higher than the temperature of the output end of the cooling pipe in the cooler by a certain value, the temperature sensor will send an electrical signal to the driving mechanism, causing the driving mechanism to drive the blocking plate to move toward the cooling pipe, thereby sealing the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe. Then, a scale remover mixed with water is injected into the feed pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe, so that the scale remover can enter the cavity through the through hole on the inner plugging plate of the feed pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe, and from the cavity into the connecting hole on the inner plugging plate of the feed pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe, so that the scale remover can enter the cooling pipe, contact with the scale in the cooling pipe to produce a chemical reaction, generate carbon dioxide and soluble salts, and make them enter the cavity through the connecting hole on the inner plugging plate of the feed pipe at the output end of the cooling pipe along with the scale remover, and from the cavity into the The connecting hole on the baffle in the feed pipe at the output end of the cooling pipe is used to discharge the soluble salts from the cooling pipe along with the scale remover. When the temperature at the input end of the cooling pipe is almost the same as the temperature at the output end of the cooling pipe, the temperature sensor will send an electrical signal to the drive mechanism to drive the baffle back to its initial position, thereby opening the input and output ends of the cooling pipe and allowing the cooler to work normally again. This not only makes it convenient for the staff to judge whether the cooling pipe is blocked due to scale, but also can clean the scale in the cooling pipe when the cooling pipe is blocked due to scale.

[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a cylinder mounted on the outer wall of the feed tube, a push rod is fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod of the cylinder, one end of the push rod passes through the feed tube and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the baffle away from the temperature sensor, a rectangular long hole is provided on the outer wall of the feed tube to match the push rod, and the rectangular long hole is located between the top and bottom of the baffle.

When the device is in use, by controlling the piston rod of the cylinder to extend, the push rod is driven to move in the rectangular long hole toward the cooling tube, thereby driving the baffle to move toward the cooling tube, thereby causing the baffle to contact the inner wall of the cooling tube and seal the cooling tube.

[0008] Preferably, a feeding device is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe, and the feeding device is electrically connected to the temperature sensor. By fixing the feeding device to the feeding pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe and electrically connecting the feeding device to the temperature sensor, and by having the temperature sensor simultaneously send an electrical signal to the driving mechanism and the feeding device, it is convenient for workers to inject the scale remover mixed with water into the feeding pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a recovery box is detachably fixed to the feed pipe at the output end of the cooling pipe. By detachably fixing the recovery box to the feed pipe at the output end of the cooling pipe, the recovery box can be used to collect the materials cleaned out of the cooling pipe, making it convenient for staff to dispose of them in a unified manner after the cooling pipe is cleaned.

[0010] Preferably, the blocking plate and the push rod are configured as an integrated structure. By configuring the blocking plate and the push rod as an integrated structure, the stability of the device during use can be improved, and separation of the blocking plate and the push rod can be avoided during use.

When the temperature of the input end of the cooling pipe in the cooler is higher than the temperature of the output end of the cooling pipe in the cooler by a certain value, the temperature sensor will send an electrical signal to the driving mechanism, causing the driving mechanism to drive the blocking plate to move toward the cooling pipe, thereby sealing the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe. Then, a scale remover mixed with water is injected into the feed pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe, so that the scale remover can enter the cavity through the through hole on the inner plugging plate of the feed pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe, and from the cavity into the connecting hole on the inner plugging plate of the feed pipe at the input end of the cooling pipe, so that the scale remover can enter the cooling pipe, contact with the scale in the cooling pipe to produce a chemical reaction, generate carbon dioxide and soluble salts, and make them enter the cavity through the connecting hole on the inner plugging plate of the feed pipe at the output end of the cooling pipe along with the scale remover, and from the cavity into the The connecting hole on the baffle in the feed pipe at the output end of the cooling pipe is used to discharge the soluble salts from the cooling pipe along with the scale remover.

[0020] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, this solution is described below through specific implementation methods.

[0021] like Figures 1-6 The cooler self-cleaning device of the utility model shown in the figure includes temperature sensors 8 respectively installed on the input end and output end of the cooling pipe 5 in the cooler 4, a feeding pipe 1 is provided on the outer wall of the cooling pipe 5, the two feeding pipes 1 are respectively located at the input end and the output end of the cooling pipe 5, the two temperature sensors 8 are located between the two feeding pipes 1, a blocking plate 11 is sealingly and slidingly connected in the feeding pipe 1, the blocking plate 11 is used to close the cooling pipe 5, a cavity 12 is provided in each of the blocking plates 11, a connecting hole 13 that is connected to the cavity 12 is provided on the side wall of the blocking plate 11 facing the temperature sensor 8, a through hole 7 that is connected to the cavity 12 is provided on the side wall of the blocking plate 11 away from the cooling pipe 5, a driving mechanism for driving the blocking plate 11 to move toward the cooling pipe 5 is provided on the feeding pipe 1, and the two temperature sensors 8 are electrically connected to the two driving mechanisms respectively.

[0022] The driving mechanism includes a cylinder 2 installed on the outer wall of the feed pipe 1, and a push rod 9 is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 2. One end of the push rod 9 passes through the feed pipe 1 and is fixed to the side wall of the blocking plate 11 away from the temperature sensor 8. A rectangular long hole 10 is provided on the outer wall of the feed pipe 1, and the rectangular long hole 10 is located between the top and the bottom of the blocking plate 11. When the device is in use, the piston rod of the cylinder 2 is controlled to extend, and the push rod 9 is driven to move in the rectangular long hole 10 toward the cooling pipe 5, thereby driving the blocking plate 11 to move toward the cooling pipe 5, so that the blocking plate 11 contacts the inner wall of the cooling pipe 5, thereby sealing the cooling pipe 5. By fixing a feeding device 3 to the feeding pipe 1 at the input end of the cooling pipe 5, and electrically connecting the feeding device 3 to the temperature sensor 8, and by having the temperature sensor 8 send an electrical signal to the driving mechanism while also sending an electrical signal to the feeding device 3, it is possible to facilitate the staff to inject a scale remover mixed with water into the feeding pipe 1 at the input end of the cooling pipe 5. By detachably fixing a recovery box 6 to the feeding pipe 1 at the output end of the cooling pipe 5, the recovery box 6 can be used to collect the materials cleared from the cooling pipe 5, making it convenient for the staff to uniformly process the cooling pipe 5 after cleaning. By configuring the blocking plate 11 and the push rod 9 as an integrated structure, the stability of the device during use can be improved, and the blocking plate 11 and the push rod 9 can be prevented from detaching during use.

[0023] Combined with attachment Figure 1-6It can be seen that the method of using the present invention is as follows: First, the temperature of the input end and the output end of the cooling tube 5 in the cooler 4 are detected by the temperature sensors 8 respectively installed on the input end and the output end of the cooling tube 5 in the cooler 4. When the temperature of the input end of the cooling tube 5 in the cooler 4 is higher than the temperature of the output end of the cooling tube 5 in the cooler 4 by a certain value, the temperature sensor 8 will send an electrical signal to the cylinder 2 and the feeding device 3 to control the piston rod of the cylinder 2 to extend, so that the push plate moves in the rectangular long hole 10, driving the blocking plate 11 toward the cooling tube 5. The input and output ends of the cooling pipe 5 are closed, and the scale remover mixed with water is injected into the feed pipe 1 at the input end of the cooling pipe 5 through the feeding device 3, so that the scale remover can enter the cavity 12 through the through hole 7 on the inner plugging plate 11 of the feed pipe 1 at the input end of the cooling pipe 5, and then enter the connecting hole 13 on the inner plugging plate 11 of the feed pipe 1 at the input end of the cooling pipe 5 from the cavity 12, so that the scale remover can enter the cooling pipe 5, contact with the scale in the cooling pipe 5 to produce a chemical reaction, and produce carbon dioxide. Carbon and soluble salts are removed and then enter the cavity 12 along with the scale remover through the connecting hole 13 on the inner plugging plate 11 of the feeding pipe 1 at the output end of the cooling pipe 5, and then enter the connecting hole 13 on the inner plugging plate 11 of the feeding pipe 1 at the output end of the cooling pipe 5 from the cavity 12, so that the soluble salts are discharged from the cooling pipe 5 to the recovery box 6 along with the scale remover. When the temperature at the input end of the cooling pipe 5 is not much different from the temperature at the output end of the cooling pipe 5, the temperature sensor 8 will send an electrical signal to the feeding device 3 and the cylinder 2 to control the feeding. The device 3 stops injecting the scale remover mixed with water into the feed pipe 1 at the input end of the cooling pipe 5, controls the piston rod of the cylinder 2 to retract, and moves the push plate in the rectangular long hole 10, driving the blocking plate 11 to move back to the initial position in the direction away from the cooling pipe 5, thereby opening the input and output ends of the cooling pipe 5, allowing the cooler 4 to work normally again, and then remove the recovery box 6 from the feed pipe 1 at the output end of the cooling pipe 5. After the cooling pipe 5 is cleaned, the materials cleaned out of the cooling pipe 5 are uniformly processed.
