Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of coolers, in particular to a high-strength cooler shell. Background Art
[0002] A cooler is a type of heat exchange equipment used to cool fluids. Water or air is usually used as the coolant to remove heat. It can be mainly divided into shell and tube coolers, plate coolers, and air-cooled coolers. Coolers are heat exchange devices commonly used in industrial sectors such as metallurgy, chemical industry, energy, transportation, light industry, and food. They are suitable for different working conditions such as cooling, condensation, heating, evaporation, and waste heat recovery. Therefore, among the many types of heat exchangers, coolers and tubular heat exchangers still occupy an important position. Shell and tube coolers are a common type of cooler. Shell and tube coolers, also called shell and tube coolers, are divided into tube side and shell side. The liquid flowing in the tube is the tube side, and the liquid flowing outside the tube is the shell side. The wall of the tube bundle is the heat transfer surface.
[0003] When assembling the connector and tube body of a shell-and-tube cooler, flanges and bolts are often used to connect them. However, since shell-and-tube coolers often operate in humid environments, the bolts and nuts at the joints are prone to rust, making disassembly and maintenance very inconvenient.

It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0032] It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the invention are shown in the drawings. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.
[0033] It should be noted that the concepts of "first" and "second" mentioned in this disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.
[0034] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "multiple" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".
[0035] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a high-strength cooler shell includes a tube body 1, a connector 2, a flange 3, bolts 4, nuts 5, a first connecting pipe 6, a second connecting pipe 7, a protective mechanism and a cooling pipe fixing mechanism. The flange 3 is fixed on the ends of the tube body and the connector respectively, and is provided with a circular hole for the bolt to pass through; the first connecting pipe 6 is fixed on the outer wall of the tube body and is connected to the inside of the tube body; the second connecting pipe 7 is fixed on the outer wall of the tube body and is connected to the inside of the tube body; the bolt 4 is passed through the circular hole of the flange; and the nut 5 is screwed on the bolt.
[0037] Specifically, the protective mechanism includes a rubber protective cap 81, an elastic connecting plate 82 and a limiting protrusion 83. The elastic connecting plate 82 is made of rubber and is fixed to the end of the rubber protective cap. The flange 3 is provided with a plug-in slot 31 for inserting the elastic connecting plate, and the rubber protective cap is provided with a groove 811 for the bolt and nut to be inserted. When the connector is assembled, the rubber protective cap is placed on the end of the bolt, and the elastic connecting plate is inserted into the plug-in slot, so that the connection cover of the nut and the bolt is set in the rubber protective cap, thereby isolating most of the water vapor outside, preventing the bolt and nut from rusting, and facilitating subsequent disassembly; the limiting protrusion 83 is fixed on the elastic connecting plate, and the side wall of the plug-in slot is provided with a slot for the limiting protrusion to be inserted, which can not only prevent the rubber protective cap from falling off, but also improve the sealing effect.
[0038] Specifically, the cooling pipe fixing mechanism includes a first fixing plate 91, a second fixing plate 92 and a connecting assembly. The first fixing plate 91 is detachably arranged on the inner wall of the connecting head, and the second fixing plate 92 can slide on the inner wall of the tube body. The first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are both provided with mounting holes for the cooling pipe to pass through and fix; the connecting assembly includes a limit block 93, a limit slide 94, a limit card groove 95, an elastic protrusion 96, an anti-slip protrusion 97 and a rotation auxiliary rod 98. The limit block 93 is fixed to the side wall of the second fixing plate; the limit slide 94 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting head; the limit slide 94 is an annular groove, which is provided on the inner wall of the connecting head and is connected to the limit slide; the limit block can be inserted into the limit slide and slide, and the limit block can be inserted into the limit card groove. When installing the cooling pipe, the cooling pipe is first passed through the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate, and then the limit block and the limit slide are fixed. The slots are aligned and the second fixing plate is pushed into the connecting head. When the limit block moves into the limit slot, the second fixing plate is rotated to misalign the limit block with the limit slot, and then the first fixing plate is pushed into the tube body to complete the installation of the cooling pipe. When the cooling pipe needs to be cleaned, the nut is unscrewed, and then the connecting head is moved horizontally to pull the cooling pipe out of the tube body. Then, the second fixing plate is rotated to align the limit block with the limit slot, and then the first fixing plate is pulled out to remove the cooling pipe, which is convenient for cleaning. The elastic protrusion 96 is fixed on the limit block to prevent the second fixing plate from rotating during operation. The elastic protrusion is provided with an arc-shaped curved surface to facilitate the elastic protrusion to be screwed into the limit slot. The anti-slip protrusion 97 is fixed on the elastic protrusion to further increase the friction force of the elastic protrusion. The rotation auxiliary rod 98 is fixed on the second fixing plate to facilitate the rotation of the second fixing plate.
[0039] The above description is only an illustration of some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above-mentioned inventive concept.
