[0002] A plate heat exchanger is a highly efficient heat exchanger composed of a series of stacked, corrugated metal sheets. Thin rectangular channels are formed between the plates, through which heat is exchanged. Furthermore, this waste heat recovery plate heat exchanger is often used to recover and utilize waste heat generated in industrial processes, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0003] Existing waste heat recovery plate heat exchangers are usually connected to external pipes through flanges. However, since the plate collector is exposed to high-temperature exhaust gas waste heat for a long time, and the heat resistance of traditional flange connections is limited, the gaskets at the flange connections are prone to aging or deformation, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance. In addition, due to the thermal expansion and contraction effects, small gaps may appear at the flange connections, causing leakage. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Combine Figure 1 A pipe assembly structure of a waste heat recovery plate heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger body 1, which includes an inlet pipe 11 and an outlet pipe 12. An external pipe 2 is provided at one end of the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12, and an assembly component 3 for increasing the connection sealing is provided between the inlet pipe 11 and the outlet pipe 12 and the external pipe 2.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The assembly component 3 includes a mounting ring A31 fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 11, and a mounting ring B32 fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the external pipe 2. A groove A33 is provided on one side of the mounting ring A31, and a spring A34 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the groove A33. A connecting block 35 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the spring A34. A fixing block 36 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting block 35. The inner side of the fixing block 36 contacts the outer surfaces of the mounting ring A31 and the mounting ring B32. A groove B37 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting ring B32, and a spring B38 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the groove B37. A limiting block 39 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the spring B38. A limiting groove 361 is provided on the inner side of the fixing block 36. The limiting block 39 is engaged with the inner part of the limiting groove 361. The limiting block 39 is a component made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which can achieve quick installation and locking and has high sealing performance.

[0027] A movable rod 4 is provided inside the limiting groove 361, and pressure blocks 41 are provided at both ends of the movable rod 4. One group of pressure blocks 41 is located inside the limiting groove 361, and the bottom of this group of pressure blocks 41 contacts the upper surface of the limiting block 39. A spring C42 is provided at the bottom of the other group of pressure blocks 41, and one end of the spring C42 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed block 36. By pressing the pressure block 41 on the outer surface of the fixed block 36, the limiting block 39 is pushed out of the limiting groove 361, thereby facilitating quick unlocking.

[0028] The inner wall of the fixing block 36 is provided with a sealing layer 5 . The sealing layer 5 is a component made of silicone rubber. The silicone rubber also has the property of expanding when heated, thereby improving the sealing performance of the fixing block 36 .

[0029] The outer surface of the sealing layer 5 is provided with a waterproof layer 6, which is a component made of polytetrafluoroethylene, so that it has good waterproof performance and is not easy to age and deteriorate.

[0030] The outer surface of the waterproof layer 6 is provided with a high temperature resistant layer 7, which is a component made of ceramic fiber to avoid deformation caused by high temperature.

[0031] An annular groove is provided on one side of the mounting ring A31 and the mounting ring B32, and a magnetic ring 8 is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove. The mounting ring A31 is magnetically connected to the mounting ring B32, which increases the connection stability between the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 12 and the external pipe 2 respectively, and can achieve quick installation.

[0032] A sealing gasket 9 is provided on one side of the mounting ring A31 and the mounting ring B32 to increase the sealing performance between the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 12 and the external pipe 2 respectively.

[0033] Specifically, taking the connection method between the water inlet pipe 11 and the external pipe 2 as an example, the connection method between the water outlet pipe 12 and the external pipe 2 is the same. Therefore, the fixing block 36 is first pulled toward the direction of the heat exchanger body 1, and the spring A34 is extended accordingly. Then, the mounting ring B32 on the outer surface of the external pipe 2 is aligned with the mounting ring A31 on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 11, and the mounting ring A31 is magnetically connected to the mounting ring B32. Then, the fixing block 36 is released, and the spring A34 is reset, so that the water inlet pipe 11 and the external pipe 2 can be quickly installed together. Because a sealing gasket 9 is provided on one side of the mounting ring A31 and the mounting ring B32, the sealing between the water inlet pipe 11 and the external pipe 2 can be increased. Because the outer surface of the mounting ring B32 is provided with a spring B38 and a limit block 39, when the fixing block 36 moves, it will first squeeze the spring B38, and then the limit The block 39 is embedded in the limit groove 361 to achieve quick locking, further increasing the stability of the installation. At the same time, because the limit block 39 is a component made of thermoplastic polyurethane, the limit block 39 will expand when the temperature at the connection rises, thereby improving the sealing performance by filling the limit groove 361, and maintaining good resilience to ensure that the limit block 39 can still return to its original shape after cooling. In addition, since the inner wall of the fixed block 36 is provided with a sealing layer 5 made of silicone rubber, the outer surface of the sealing layer 5 is provided with a waterproof layer 6 made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the outer surface of the waterproof layer 6 is provided with a high-temperature resistant layer 7 made of ceramic fiber, it can be ensured that the innermost layer has the best high-temperature resistance when directly in contact with the high-temperature fluid, and the outermost layer provides a good sealing effect, thereby extending the service life of the fixed block 36.
