Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchanger structures, in particular to a micro-curved spiral baffle structure and a heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] A heat exchanger generally includes a shell, in which a number of heat exchange tubes are arranged. At the same time, in order to improve the heat exchange efficiency, a spiral baffle can be set in the shell to make the fluid flow in a spiral shape. However, in the actual processing process, the shell generally has a large length, so the spiral structure also needs to be set longer, and the integrated spiral structure is often difficult to process during processing, which leads to a high overall cost of the equipment. Therefore, in the prior art, a plurality of fan-shaped baffles are generally spliced into an integral spiral structure. However, this will form gaps between adjacent baffles, and serious leakage will often occur in the gaps, so that part of the fluid does not flow with the spiral structure, and the heat exchange efficiency will not be further improved accordingly. In the prior art, the gap can be sealed by setting a sealing plate to prevent leakage. For example, the authorization announcement number CN204346233U provides a spiral baffle anti-leakage flow device. The spiral baffle blocks the gap by setting a sealing plate. However, in the actual operation process, the fluid does not have a smooth transition when flowing between the baffles, which will also affect the further improvement of the heat exchange efficiency.

[0005] In the above embodiment, the baffle and the first extension part and the second extension part on both sides thereof can be processed by integral molding, which has low processing difficulty. At the same time, the first micro-curved surface and the second micro-curved surface can provide spiral guidance for the fluid, and the first extension part and the second extension part partially block the gap, reducing the leakage amount. At the same time, they can continue to guide the fluid, so that the fluid can smoothly transition from one baffle to the next baffle, which reduces the processing difficulty and the leakage amount, and ensures the smooth transition of the fluid, solving the problem in the prior art that the baffle with spliced spiral structure cannot further improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0006] Furthermore, the first extension portion and the second extension portion are respectively provided with a third micro-curved surface and a fourth micro-curved surface connected to each other, wherein the third micro-curved surface is connected to the first micro-curved surface or the second micro-curved surface, and the third micro-curved surface and the fourth micro-curved surface are arc-shaped structures with opposite openings.
[0007] Furthermore, the first micro-curved surface, the second micro-curved surface, the third micro-curved surface and the fourth micro-curved surface have an inclination angle of 1-15°.
[0008] Furthermore, the fourth micro-curved surface on one baffle partially overlaps with the fourth micro-curved surface on another adjacent baffle.
[0009] Furthermore, a notch is provided on the outer edge of the baffle.
[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the baffle.
[0011] According to an embodiment, a heat exchanger is further provided, which includes a shell, and the above-mentioned micro-curved spiral baffle structure is arranged in the shell.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a plurality of heat exchange tubes, and all the baffles are sleeved on the plurality of heat exchange tubes through the mounting holes.
[0013] Furthermore, a reinforcement plate that fits into the notch is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] By setting the first extension part and the second extension part, the gap is partially blocked, the leakage is reduced, and the fluid can continue to be guided, so that the fluid can smoothly transition from one baffle to the next baffle, which reduces the processing difficulty and reduces the leakage. At the same time, it ensures the smooth transition of the fluid, and solves the problem in the prior art that the heat exchange efficiency cannot be further improved due to the spliced spiral structure baffle.

[0023] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1-3 As shown, the present embodiment provides a micro-curved spiral baffle structure, which includes at least four baffles 1, each baffle 1 is a sector of a 1 / 4 circular structure, and each baffle 1 is respectively provided with a first micro-curved surface 2 and a second micro-curved surface 3 connected to each other, and the first micro-curved surface 2 and the second micro-curved surface 3 are respectively provided with a first extension portion 4 and a second extension portion 5 that smoothly transitions thereto on the opposite sides thereof, and the first micro-curved surface 2 and the second micro-curved surface 3 are arc-shaped structures with opposite openings; wherein the first extension portion 4 on a baffle 1 partially overlaps with the second extension portion 5 of another adjacent baffle 1 so that all the baffles 1 are enclosed into a spiral structure with a spiral outer edge.
[0024] In the above embodiment, the baffle 1 and the first extension 4 and the second extension 5 on both sides thereof can be processed by one-piece molding, which is easy to process. The corresponding existing technology can also be processed by one-piece molding, but since the gaps need to be sealed, the processing size requirements are often higher, which can easily lead to the adjacent baffles 1 not being able to be completely docked, causing additional trouble (such as the need for cutting, grinding, etc.); the first micro-curved surface 2 and the second micro-curved surface 3 set at the same time in this solution can provide spiral guidance for the fluid, while the first extension 4 and the second extension 5 partially block the gaps, reducing the amount of leakage, and can also continue to guide the fluid, so that the fluid smoothly transitions from one baffle 1 to the next baffle 1, which reduces the processing difficulty and the amount of leakage, while ensuring the smooth transition of the fluid, solving the problem in the prior art that the baffle 1 with a spliced spiral structure does not further improve the heat exchange efficiency; in more detail, In this solution, when splicing, the adjacent first extension parts 4 and second extension parts 5 partially overlap, and the processing difficulty is lower. Furthermore, the first extension part 4 and the second extension part 5 are respectively provided with a third micro-curved surface 6 and a fourth micro-curved surface 7 connected to each other, wherein the third micro-curved surface 6 is connected to the first micro-curved surface 2 or the second micro-curved surface 3, and the third micro-curved surface 6 and the fourth micro-curved surface 7 are arc structures with opposite openings. Similar to the first micro-curved surface 2 and the second micro-curved surface 3, the third micro-curved surface 6 and the fourth micro-curved surface 7 can also guide the fluid, thereby further making the fluid transition smooth. Specifically, the fourth micro-curved surface 7 on one baffle 1 and the fourth micro-curved surface 7 on another adjacent baffle 1 partially overlap (the two may not be in direct contact); in a more detailed implementation scheme, the first micro-curved surface 2, the second micro-curved surface 3 and the third micro-curved surface 6 and the fourth micro-curved surface 7 have an inclination angle of 1-15°, and can also be 10-15°, so that the fluid can be more stable during the swirl process.
[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in another embodiment, a heat exchanger including the above-mentioned micro-curved spiral baffle 1 structure is provided, which includes a shell 8, and the micro-curved spiral baffle 1 structure is arranged in the shell 8. A plurality of heat exchange tubes 9 are also arranged in the shell 8, and a plurality of mounting holes 10 are provided on the baffle 1. These heat exchange tubes 9 pass through the mounting holes 10, thereby realizing the connection between the baffle 1 and the heat exchange tubes 9. Furthermore, a notch 11 is provided on the outer edge of the baffle 1, and a reinforcement plate 12 that is inserted into the notch 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 8, thereby strengthening the connection strength between the baffle 1 and the shell 8.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
