DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element and integrated as a whole, or there can be a middle element. The terms "mounting", "one end", "the other end" and the like used herein are only for the purpose of illustration.
[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this technology belongs. The terms used in the specification herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-7 The present application provides a horizontal shell and tube heat exchanger, comprising a shell 1, and a plurality of heat exchange pipes 2, baffles 3 and connecting rods 4 arranged in the shell 1, the shell 1 is provided with a first medium inlet pipe 11 and a first medium outlet pipe 12 which communicate into the shell 1; the first medium inlet pipe 11 and the first medium outlet pipe 12 are mainly used for the flow of the first medium (such as coolant / heat medium) in the shell 1; the plurality of heat exchange pipes 2 are fixed with the shell 1 through the baffles 3, and at least part of both ends of each heat exchange pipe 2 extends out of the shell 1. In use, the first medium is input into the shell 1 through the first medium inlet pipe 11, and at the same time, the second medium (such as hot water / cold water) is input into the heat exchange pipe 2, based on the second law of thermodynamics: heat always spontaneously transfers from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object. Therefore, when the high-temperature fluid flows through the heat exchange pipe 2, and the low-temperature fluid flows in the shell 1, heat is transferred from the high-temperature side to the low-temperature side, thereby realizing the transfer and utilization of heat.
[0030] Reference Figure 5 And 6 Further, the baffle 3 comprises a connecting end 30 and a notched end 31, the connecting end 30 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 1, and the notched end 31 has a gap between the inner wall of the shell 1 for the flow of the first medium; referring to Figure 6The connecting end 30 refers to one end of the arc-shaped outer edge of the baffle 3, which abuts against the inner wall of the shell 1. The notch end 31 refers to the end opposite to the arc-shaped outer edge. The connecting end 30 and the notch end 31 are oppositely arranged. The gap between the notch end 31 and the inner wall of the shell 1 allows the first medium (coolant / heat medium) to flow in the shell 1. The baffle 3 is provided with a first perforation 32 penetrating along the thickness direction of the baffle 3. The baffle 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod 4 through the first perforation 32 and can move along the axial direction of the connecting rod 4. By adjusting the spacing of the baffle 3 on the connecting rod 4, the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger can be better controlled.
[0031] In the prior art, the position of the baffle is usually fixed, which leads to the unadjustable distance between the baffles 3. If the distance between the baffles 3 is too small, the resistance of the medium in the flow process will increase, which leads to the insufficient heat exchange. If the distance between the baffles 3 is too large, the time of the medium staying in the shell will be reduced, which also leads to the insufficient heat exchange. In the embodiment, the baffle 3 is fixed on the shell 1 through the connecting rod 4. Although one end of the baffle 3 abuts against the shell 1, the baffle 3 is not completely fixed. The position of the baffle 3 on the connecting rod 4 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the spacing and improve the heat transfer coefficient between the two media in the shell 1 and the overall heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
[0032] Reference Figure 5 In the preferred embodiment, the connecting rod 4 is provided with a locking member 40 (such as a nut) on each connecting rod 4. The locking member 40 is located on the two sides of the baffle 3. The locking member 40 can lock or release the baffle 3. When the locking member 40 locks the baffle 3, the baffle 3 is fixed on the connecting rod 4. When the locking member 40 is in the locked state, the locking members 40 on the two sides of the baffle 3 form a clamping state to the baffle 3, so that the baffle 3 is fixed on the connecting rod 4 and is not easy to displace in the medium flow state. When the locking member 40 releases the baffle 3, the baffle 3 can move on the connecting rod 4. At this time, the spacing of the baffle 3 can be adjusted.
[0033] Reference Figures 2-5 In the preferred embodiment, the baffle 3 is provided with a plurality of baffles 3. The plurality of baffles 3 are arranged at intervals. The directions of the notch ends 31 of the adjacent two baffles 3 are opposite. When the first medium flows in the shell 1, the first medium is affected by the direction of the notch end 31 and flows in an S-shaped manner. Therefore, the flow speed of the first medium in the shell 1 is relatively slow. The medium and the medium can achieve sufficient heat exchange effect, which is beneficial to improve the heat exchange effect.
[0034] Reference Figures 4-6In the preferred embodiment, the baffle plate 3 is further provided with a second perforation 33, and the baffle plate 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the heat exchange pipe 2 through the second perforation 33; the number of the second perforation 33 is greater than the number of the first perforation 32; that is, the number of the heat exchange pipe 2 that can be installed on the same baffle plate 3 is greater than the number of the connecting rod 4, so as to ensure the heat exchange effect; and each heat exchange pipe 2 is spaced from each other, and the heat exchange pipe 2 and the connecting rod 4 are also spaced from each other, so that the medium can flow into the space when flowing in the shell 1, so as to completely realize the wrapping of the heat exchange pipe 2 in the flowing process, and better heat exchange can be achieved.

At the same time, the tube plate 13 and the shell 1 can also be fixed by welding sealing or the like.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 In the preferred embodiment, the side of the tube plate 13 away from the heat exchange cavity 10 is connected with an end cover 14, and a sealed flow collecting cavity 142 is formed between the end cover 14 and the tube plate 13. Similarly, the end cover 14 and the tube plate 13 can also be fixed by welding sealing. The heat exchange pipe 2 is communicated with the flow collecting cavity 142, that is, the part of the heat exchange pipe 2 extending out of the shell 1 can be communicated with the flow collecting cavity 142. The end cover 14 is provided with a second medium inlet pipe 140 and a second medium outlet pipe 141; the second medium inlet pipe 140 and the second medium outlet pipe 141 can be respectively communicated with the flow collecting cavity 142. That is, the flow collecting cavities 142 are located at both ends of the shell 1, one of the flow collecting cavities 142 is communicated with the second medium inlet pipe 140 as the inlet of the second medium, and the other flow collecting cavity 142 is communicated with the second medium outlet pipe 141 as the outlet of the second medium.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 In the preferred embodiment, the inlet end of the second medium inlet pipe 140 and the outlet end of the second medium outlet pipe 141 are spaced apart at the same end of the shell 1. For example, Figure 3As shown, the second medium inlet pipe 140 is connected to the end cover 14 at one end and extends towards the second medium outlet pipe 141 at the other end, so that the inlet end and the outlet end are located at the same end of the shell 1, which is convenient for the user to connect the interface at the same position during installation.
[0038] Reference Figures 2-3 In the preferred embodiment, the second medium inlet pipe 140 and the second medium outlet pipe 141 are respectively provided with a temperature sensor 15, and the temperature sensor 15 extends into the pipe of the second medium inlet pipe 140 and the second medium outlet pipe 141 at least partially.
