The more adjusting tubes 4 there are between the upper connecting pipe 1 and the lower connecting pipe 2, the longer the length of the joint. In this way, the length of the joint can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs during the installation of the plate heat exchanger joint, effectively improving the flexibility of the installation of the plate heat exchanger joint.

[0025] Sealing gaskets 11 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the regulating tube 4. The sealing gasket 11 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes corresponding to the clamping rod 5. The clamping rod 5 passes through the sealing gasket 11 through the fixing holes, which can improve the overall sealing of the joint.

[0026] The vertical outer walls of the upper connecting pipe 1 , the lower connecting pipe 2 and the regulating pipe 4 are all provided with indicator grooves 12 , which can improve the convenience of positioning the regulating pipe 4 during installation.

[0027] The connecting flange 3 includes a rectangular plate 13 , and a plurality of pin holes 14 are evenly formed on the rectangular plate 13 . The pin holes 14 are distributed in a circumferential manner.

[0031] The sealing gasket 11 is specifically made of rubber, which can improve the sealing effect of the sealing gasket 11 .

[0032] Working principle: When installing the plate heat exchanger, if you need to adjust the length of the heat exchanger joint, use a wrench tool to tighten the hexagonal bolt 10, and through the threaded cooperation between the hexagonal bolt 10 and the nut 9, the hexagonal bolt 10 is separated from the nut 9, and the locking fixation of the hexagonal bolt 10 on the upper connecting pipe 1 and the lower connecting pipe 2 is released. The length of the joint is adjusted by adjusting the number of adjusting tubes 4. The more adjusting tubes 4 there are between the upper connecting pipe 1 and the lower connecting pipe 2, the longer the length of the joint. Therefore, the length of the joint can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs during the installation of the plate heat exchanger joint, which effectively improves the flexibility of the installation of the plate heat exchanger joint.
