[0029] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments have been briefly explained above. Obviously, the described drawings are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Those skilled in the art can obtain other design schemes and drawings based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages mentioned herein do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0031] A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat. It regulates temperature and recovers heat energy by transferring heat energy from one fluid to another. Heat exchangers are widely used in industries such as industry, energy, chemical industry, and construction, and are one of the essential pieces of equipment in modern industrial production.

[0032] Existing heat exchanger boxes are extremely bulky, requiring significant manpower and resources for transportation and causing numerous inconveniences in installation and maintenance. The cumbersome design also necessitates more space and stronger support structures during installation, undoubtedly increasing overall project costs and construction complexity. Routine maintenance and repair also present greater challenges, as the heavy heat exchanger boxes are difficult to move, and disassembling and assembling components requires more physical strength and time.

[0033] Therefore, an installation structure, referring to Figure 1 The device includes an inner shell A1, a support frame A2, and a mounting base A3. The inner shell A1 forms a closed mounting space A4. The support frame A2 is disposed in the mounting space A4. The bottom surface of the inner shell A1 has a first opening A11. The support frame A2 passes through the first opening A11 and is welded to the inner shell A1. The support frame A2 passes through the first opening A11 and is fixedly connected to the mounting base A3. The support frame A2 is used to place the heat exchange plate.

[0034] The above structural design simplifies the heat exchanger installation process, making the installation and subsequent maintenance of the entire equipment more convenient and efficient. Through welding technology, the support frame A2 is tightly connected to the inner shell A1, ensuring that the support frame A2 is stably installed on the mounting base A3, thereby improving the stability and durability of the structure.

[0035] Considering the excessive weight of existing heat exchanger housings, their transportation not only consumes significant manpower and material resources, but also presents particular difficulties and cumbersome challenges in installation and subsequent maintenance. Therefore, in one embodiment, stainless steel, with its excellent corrosion resistance, effectively prevents damage to the inner tank from contact with acidic or alkaline substances; its smooth surface also makes it less prone to staining, facilitating cleaning and contributing to the hygiene of the inner tank.

[0036] The inner liner shell A1 includes many edges and corners, which play an important structural role but can sometimes pose a potential danger to the user. Therefore, in one embodiment, all corners of the inner wall of the inner liner shell A1 are rounded. This design makes the inner liner shell A1 more aesthetically pleasing and also improves its structural strength and safety. The rounded corners effectively prevent accidental injury to the user from sharp edges, facilitate cleaning and maintenance, reduce stress concentration, and further enhance the durability and reliability of the inner liner shell A1.

[0037] The support frame A2 is installed within the installation space A4 inside the inner liner shell A1 to facilitate subsequent maintenance and cleaning. Therefore, in one embodiment, the inner liner shell A1 includes a housing A14 and a door panel A6. The housing A14 has a second opening A12 communicating with the installation space A4. The inner liner shell A1 and the door panel A6 are hinged together, allowing the door panel A6 to open or close the second opening A12. The inner liner shell A1 and the door panel A6 form a closed installation space A4, ensuring that internal equipment or components can be installed and operated in a safe and controlled environment. This closed space not only provides physical protection against external dust, moisture, and other harmful substances, but also effectively isolates noise, ensuring that the equipment operation does not interfere with the surrounding environment. When internal inspection or maintenance is required, operators can open the door panel A6 to enter the inner liner shell A1 to perform the work.

[0038] The heat exchanger requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Therefore, in one embodiment, the center of the inner bottom surface of the casing A14 is recessed, and a water outlet A5 is located in the center of the inner bottom surface of the casing A14. This design ensures smooth drainage, avoids water and dirt buildup, and makes cleaning the inside of the equipment using a high-pressure water gun reliable and efficient. Whether for routine maintenance or deep cleaning, this structure ensures that water can be drained quickly, thereby keeping the inside of the equipment clean and hygienic.

[0039] Since the interior of the inner shell A1 is a sealed space, it is generally impossible to observe the working environment of the internal cavity. Therefore, in one embodiment, the door panel A6 is provided with a viewing window A7 for observing the installation space A4. This allows for a clearer and more detailed observation of the working environment of the internal cavity, thereby providing a better understanding of its operating status and the specific details of its internal structure.

[0040] To ensure that the support frame A2 can more effectively support the heat exchange plate, the support frame A2 includes a crossbeam A9 and two support columns A10 perpendicular to the crossbeam A9. The crossbeam A9 and the support columns A10 are fixedly connected. The crossbeam A9 is used to place the heat exchange plate, and the support columns A10 are mounted on the mounting base A3. The combination of one crossbeam A9 and two support columns A10 perpendicular to the crossbeam A9 forms a stable support structure, ensuring the stability of the overall structure and preventing displacement or tilting during use.

[0041] To adapt to different working environments, in one embodiment, the mounting base A3 further includes a base A13 and an adjusting foot A8. The adjusting foot A8 is fixed to the base A13 by bolts, and the support column A10 is fixed to the base A13 by bolts. The adjusting foot A8 can adapt to different ground flatness, ensuring the equipment remains stable during use, improving the adaptability and ease of use of the equipment, and also enhancing the stability and safety of the equipment. It is suitable for occasions where the equipment position needs to be adjusted or used on uneven ground.

[0042] This utility model also provides a heat exchanger, including a heat exchanger body and an installation structure as described in any of the above technical solutions, wherein the installation structure is disposed on the heat exchanger body.

[0043] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner body and the aforementioned heat exchanger, wherein the heat exchanger is disposed on the air conditioner body.

[0044] A refrigeration heat exchanger is a device in a refrigeration system that enables heat exchange between fluid media at different temperatures. Based on their working principle, heat exchangers are broadly classified into two categories: indirect-flow and direct-flow types. In refrigeration, air conditioning, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) fields, direct-flow and indirect-flow heat exchangers are primarily used, with indirect-flow heat exchangers being the most widely applied. A heat exchanger facilitates heat exchange between two or more heat exchange media through heat exchanger walls, resulting in the cooling of the hot fluid and the heating of the cold fluid. The process of heat transfer from the hot fluid to the cold fluid through the walls is called the heat transfer process. Water-cooled air conditioning heat exchangers, in particular, typically require a support structure for stable installation and use.

[0045] The existing support structure of water-cooled air conditioning heat exchangers is fixed in a preset position using multiple support corners or mounting plates with mounting holes. However, the multiple heat exchange interfaces on the water-cooled air conditioning heat exchanger cannot be accurately aligned with the pipe openings of the exchange medium. Furthermore, the support feet and mounting plates of the fixed structure are not convenient for staff to adjust the height in real time, making the overall installation and adjustment process quite troublesome and time-consuming.

[0046] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new water-cooled air conditioning heat exchanger with a support structure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0047] This utility model provides a method in which the rotation of the adjusting shaft 5 drives two adjusting blocks 42 to slide stably relative to two crossbars 41, pushing two top plates 43 to rotate simultaneously. The other ends of the two top plates 43 jointly push the central plate 44 at the bottom of the heat exchange plate shell 2 to move, so that the heat exchange plate shell 2 drives multiple limiting rods 53 to slide relative to multiple side cylinders 52. The heat exchange plate shell 2 drives the heat exchange plate assembly 3 to move stably, making it easy to adjust its installation position and facilitate subsequent pipeline connection.

[0048] This utility model provides a way to easily and securely limit the adjustment shaft 5 by rotating the fastening ring 7 to move one end of the adjustment shaft 5, using the inner wall of the fastening ring 7 to move to the outside of multiple clamping pieces 6, and tightening the multiple clamping pieces 6, so as to effectively prevent the adjustment shaft 5 from rotating out of position.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 5 A water-cooled air conditioning heat exchanger with a support structure includes: a crossbeam A9, on which a heat exchange plate shell 2 is provided, and a support column A10 is provided on the bottom surface of the crossbeam A9. The support column A10 is installed on the mounting base A3. A heat exchange plate assembly 3 is provided inside the heat exchange plate shell 2. A heat exchange pipe port 31 is provided on the side wall of the heat exchange plate shell 2. Both ends of the crossbeam A9 are fixedly connected to a support seat 4, and the two support seats 4 are symmetrically arranged below the heat exchange plate shell 2. An adjustment mechanism includes two crossbars 41, the two ends of the two crossbars 41 are fixedly connected to the two support seats 4 respectively, and two adjustment blocks 42 are provided between the two crossbars 41. A top plate 43 is rotatably connected to each of the two adjustment blocks 42, and the other end of the two top plates 43 is rotatably connected to a central plate 44.

[0050] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the central plate 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom shell wall of the heat exchange plate outer shell 2.

[0051] It should be noted that: the two adjusting blocks 42 push the two top plates 43 to rotate simultaneously, and the other ends of the two top plates 43 together push the central plate 44 at the bottom of the heat exchange plate shell 2 to move, so that the heat exchange plate shell 2 can drive the heat exchange plate assembly 3 to move stably, and its installation position can be easily adjusted, which is convenient for subsequent pipeline connection.

[0052] refer to Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the two adjusting blocks 42 are provided with sliding openings, and the two ends of the two adjusting blocks 42 are slidably connected to the two crossbars 41 respectively.

[0053] It should be noted that the two adjusting blocks 42 can slide stably relative to the two crossbars 41.

[0054] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an adjusting shaft 5 is rotatably connected between the two support seats 4, and two adjusting blocks 42 are respectively connected to the two ends of the adjusting shaft 5.

[0055] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the adjusting shaft 5 are provided with symmetrical threads, and the middle position of the two adjusting blocks 42 is provided with threaded openings. The two adjusting blocks 42 are respectively threaded to the two ends of the adjusting shaft 5. One end of the adjusting shaft 5 extends to the outside of the support 4 on one side, and a handle 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting shaft 5.

[0056] It should be noted that rotating the handle 51 causes the adjusting shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn causes the two adjusting blocks 42 to move relative to each other.

[0057] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple side cylinders 52 are provided on the side wall of the crossbeam A9. Each side cylinder 52 has a limit rod 53 slidably connected to one end of its cylinder wall. The top of each limit rod 53 is fixedly connected to the shell wall of the heat exchange plate outer shell 2.

[0058] It should be noted that the heat exchange plate outer shell 2 drives multiple limit rods 53 to slide relative to multiple side cylinders 52, so that the heat exchange plate outer shell 2 can drive the heat exchange plate assembly 3 to move stably and its installation position can be easily adjusted.

[0059] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of clamping plates 6 are provided on the side wall of one end support 4. The plurality of clamping plates 6 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals at the shaft head position of the adjusting shaft 5. A fastening ring 7 is provided at one end of the adjusting shaft 5. An internal thread is provided on the inner half of the fastening ring 7. An external thread is provided at the end of the adjusting shaft 5. The fastening ring 7 is threadedly connected to the end of the adjusting shaft 5.

[0060] It should be noted that: by moving the inner wall of the fastening ring 7 to the outside of the multiple clamping pieces 6 and tightening the multiple clamping pieces 6, the adjusting shaft 5 can be easily fastened and limited.

[0061] Rotate the fastening ring 7 to move it relative to one end of the adjusting shaft 5, and adjust the inner wall of the fastening ring 7 to move to the outside of the multiple clamping pieces 6.

[0062] The working principle of the water-cooled air conditioning heat exchanger with a support structure provided by this utility model is as follows: Rotating the handle 51 causes the adjusting shaft 5 to rotate, which drives the two adjusting blocks 42 to move relative to each other. The two adjusting blocks 42 slide stably relative to the two crossbars 41, pushing the two top plates 43 to rotate simultaneously. The other ends of the two top plates 43 jointly push the central plate 44 at the bottom of the heat exchange plate shell 2 to move, so that the heat exchange plate shell 2 drives multiple limiting rods 53 to slide relative to multiple side cylinders 52, so that the heat exchange plate shell 2 can drive the heat exchange plate assembly 3 to move stably, conveniently adjust its installation position, and facilitate subsequent pipeline connection, which is very convenient.

[0063] Rotate the fastening ring 7 to move it relative to one end of the adjusting shaft 5. Use the inner wall of the fastening ring 7 to move it to the outside of the multiple clamping pieces 6 and tighten the multiple clamping pieces 6. This will conveniently fasten and limit the adjusting shaft 5, effectively preventing the adjusting shaft 5 from rotating out of position.
