Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of volumetric heat exchangers, in particular to a volumetric heat exchanger with an inner wall cleaning mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] The volumetric heat exchanger mainly realizes heat exchange based on the principles of heat conduction and heat convection. The hot medium (such as steam or high-temperature hot water) flows in the pipe (heat exchange pipe bundle) inside the heat exchanger, and the cold medium (usually water) flows in the space (shell side) between the shell and the heat exchange pipe bundle. Heat is transferred from the hot medium to the cold medium through the pipe wall, and the flow of the cold and hot media also promotes the convective transfer of heat.

[0003] When the fluid (especially water containing calcium, magnesium and other ions) flows in the volumetric heat exchanger, a series of physical and chemical changes will occur due to factors such as temperature change and fluid composition. For example, the solubility of calcium, magnesium and other ions in water decreases after being heated, which is easy to crystallize and precipitate on the inner wall surface of the heat exchanger, forming scale. The presence of scale significantly increases the thermal resistance and has a certain impact on the heat transfer, reducing the overall heat exchange efficiency of the volumetric heat exchanger.

[0004] For the related technology in the above, the inventor believes that the volumetric heat exchanger has the defect that the inner wall scale is not easy to clean after being used for a certain period of time, therefore, a volumetric heat exchanger with an inner wall cleaning mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting tooth ring and the internally toothed gear are both movably arranged close to the outer surface of the connecting gear, and the connecting tooth ring and the internally toothed gear are both meshed with the connecting gear.

[0010] Preferably, the number of the scraping blades is six, and one side of the scraping blades abuts against the inner wall of the fixed inner cavity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following description will be made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 The application is further described in detail.

[0020] The embodiment of the application discloses a volumetric heat exchanger with an inner wall cleaning mechanism. Figures 1-4 A volumetric heat exchanger with an inner wall cleaning mechanism, comprising a heat exchanger body 1, a fixed inner cavity 2 is formed in the heat exchanger body 1, a cleaning support 3 is movably installed in the fixed inner cavity 2, a fixed groove 4 is formed in one side of the outer surface of the cleaning support 3, a guide support ring 5 is rotatably installed in the fixed groove 4, a connecting gear ring 6 is fixedly installed at the top end of the guide support ring 5, a plurality of scrapers 7 are welded to the outer surface of the connecting gear ring 6, the number of the scrapers 7 is six, one side of the scrapers 7 abuts against the inner wall of the fixed inner cavity 2, a threaded hole 8 is formed in the edge of the upper surface of the cleaning support 3, an internal thread gear 9 is rotatably installed on the outer part of the threaded hole 8, a connecting gear 10 is rotatably installed between the connecting gear ring 6 and the internal thread gear 9, the connecting gear ring 6 and the internal thread gear 9 are movably close to the outer surface of the connecting gear 10, the connecting gear ring 6 and the internal thread gear 9 are meshed with the connecting gear 10, and a lifting mechanism is further arranged in the fixed inner cavity 2 and used for controlling the up-and-down movement of the cleaning support 3.

[0021] By making the cleaning support 3 move up and down in the fixed inner cavity 2, the cleaning support 3 in movement drives the internal thread gear 9 to rotate along the outer surface of the lead screw 11, and the internal thread gear 9 drives the connecting gear 10 to rotate, and then the rotating connecting gear 10 drives the connecting gear ring 6 to rotate synchronously, so that the guide support ring 5 rotates in the fixed groove 4, and then the connecting gear ring 6 in movement is supported, and the plurality of scrapers 7 on the outer surface of the connecting gear ring 6 rotate while moving up and down along the inner wall of the fixed inner cavity 2, so that the scale adhered to the inner wall of the fixed inner cavity 2 is scraped off, and the cleaning effect of the scrapers 7 on the inner wall of the fixed inner cavity 2 is embodied.

[0022] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting mechanism comprises a lead screw 11, the lead screw 11 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the fixed inner cavity 2 at the upper and lower ends, a servo motor 12 is installed on the upper surface of the heat exchanger body 1 and extends to the top end of the lead screw 11, a through hole 13 is symmetrically formed in the upper surface of the cleaning support 3, guide support rods 14 are welded to the inner wall of the fixed inner cavity 2 and pass through the through hole 13, the outer surface of the lead screw 11 is provided with external threads, the inner wall of the internal thread gear 9 is provided with internal threads, the threaded hole 8 and the internal thread gear 9 are matched with the lead screw 11, the outer diameter of the guide support rod 14 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 13, and the through hole 13 and the guide support rod 14 are embedded.

[0023] By starting the servo motor 12, the lead screw 11 is driven to rotate. The rotating lead screw 11 drives the cleaning bracket 3 to move up and down. At the same time, the guide rod 14 guides and supports the cleaning bracket 3 in motion, keeping the cleaning bracket 3 in a stable up and down motion state inside the fixed inner cavity 2. This demonstrates the guiding and supporting effect of the guide rod 14 on the cleaning bracket 3.

[0024] The implementation principle of a volumetric heat exchanger with an internal wall cleaning mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: A servo motor 12 is started to drive the lead screw 11 to rotate. The input terminal of the servo motor 12 is electrically connected to the output terminal of an external power supply. The rotating lead screw 11 drives the cleaning bracket 3 to move up and down, while the guide rod 14 guides and supports the moving cleaning bracket 3, keeping the cleaning bracket 3 in a stable up-and-down motion state within the fixed inner cavity 2. This demonstrates the guiding and supporting effect of the guide rod 14 on the cleaning bracket 3. The moving cleaning bracket 3 drives the internal thread gear 9 to rotate along the outer surface of the lead screw 11, and the internal thread gear... Wheel 9 drives connecting gear 10 to rotate, which in turn causes connecting gear 10 to drive connecting gear ring 6 to rotate synchronously. This causes guide ring 5 to rotate along the inside of fixed groove 4, thereby providing dynamic support for the moving connecting gear ring 6. Multiple scrapers 7 on the outer surface of connecting gear ring 6 move up and down along the inner wall of fixed cavity 2 while rotating, thus scraping away scale adhering to the inner wall of fixed cavity 2. Compared with existing technologies, this solution facilitates cleaning of the inner wall of fixed cavity 2, improves the overall heat transfer efficiency of heat exchanger body 1, and solves the problem of scale adhering to the inner wall of fixed cavity 2 affecting the efficiency of heat exchanger body 1.
