[0028] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An energy-saving oil-water heat exchanger includes a heat exchange water pipe 1 and a heat exchange oil pipe 2. The heat exchange water pipe 1 is inserted into the heat exchange oil pipe 2, and there is a flow channel 3 between the heat exchange water pipe 1 and the heat exchange oil pipe 2. The heat exchange water pipe 1 is installed with a fixing assembly, and the heat exchange water pipe 1 is fixedly connected with the heat exchange oil pipe 2 through the fixing assembly. The side wall of the heat exchange water pipe 1 is installed with fins 4, and the number of the fins 4 is multiple. The multiple fins 4 are distributed in a staggered manner along the length direction of the heat exchange water pipe 1.

[0029] The heat generated during the operation of the air compressor is usually cooled by oil cooling, and the hot oil after absorbing heat is output from one of the output ends of the air compressor and enters the heat exchange oil pipe 2. At the same time, water flow is introduced into the heat exchange water pipe 1. After the hot oil is input, the hot oil flows between the heat exchange water pipe 1 and the heat exchange oil pipe 2. The plurality of staggered fins 4 make the flow channel 3 S-shaped, thereby prolonging the path of the hot oil flow and prolonging the residence time of the hot flow in the flow channel 3, which is conducive to more fully absorbing the heat of the hot oil by the water.

[0030] Referring to Figure 2 In order to facilitate the connection and fixation of the fin 4 and the heat exchange water pipe 1, the side wall of the fin 4 is provided with a slot 5, and the fin 4 is inserted with the heat exchange water pipe 1 through the slot 5.

[0031] In addition, the heat exchange water pipe 1 is also provided with a connecting piece, which is a first bolt 6 and a first nut 7. The side wall of the heat exchange water pipe 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting lug 8. A plurality of groups of connecting lugs 8 are linearly distributed along the length direction of the heat exchange water pipe 1. Each group of connecting lugs 8 is provided with two connecting lugs 8, and the two connecting lugs 8 are symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the heat exchange water pipe 1. The fin 4 is tightly attached to the side wall of each group of connecting lugs 8. The number of the first bolt 6 and the first nut 7 is the same as that of the connecting lug 8. The fixed end of the first bolt 6 penetrates the fin 4 and the connecting lug 8 in sequence, and the first nut 7 is threadedly connected with the fixed end of the first bolt 6.

[0032] When it is necessary to fix the fin 4, first, the fin 4 is inserted with the heat exchange water pipe 1 through the slot 5, and at the same time, the fin 4 is tightly attached to the connecting lug 8. Then, the fixed end of the first bolt 6 penetrates the fin 4 and the connecting lug 8 in sequence, and then the first nut 7 is threadedly tightened with the fixed end of the first bolt 6. At this time, the fin 4 is fixed to the side wall of the heat exchange water pipe 1 through the connecting lug 8.

[0033] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , the fixing assembly comprises a second bolt 9 and a second nut 10. One end of the heat exchange water pipe 1 is fixedly connected with a cover body 11, and the other end of the heat exchange water pipe 1 is a closed end. The heat exchange oil pipe 2 is fixedly provided with an abutting ring 12 at one end, and the abutting ring 12 is inserted with the cover body 11. The fixed end of the second bolt 9 penetrates the cover body 11 and the abutting ring 12 in sequence, and the second nut 10 is threadedly connected with the fixed end of the second bolt 9.

[0034] When it is necessary to fix the heat exchange water pipe 1 in the heat exchange oil pipe 2, first, the heat exchange water pipe 1 is inserted into the heat exchange oil pipe 2 until the cover body 11 completely covers the abutting ring 12. Then, the fixed end of the second bolt 9 penetrates the cover body 11 and the abutting ring 12 in sequence, and then the second nut 10 is threadedly connected with the fixed end of the second bolt 9. At this time, the heat exchange water pipe 1 is fixed in the heat exchange oil pipe 2.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2In order to avoid the leakage of hot oil from the abutting ring 12 and the cover 11, the inner side of the cover 11 is fixedly connected with a sealing gasket 13. When the heat exchange water pipe 1 is fixed in the heat exchange oil pipe 2, the abutting ring 12 abuts against the inner side of the cover 11, so as to improve the sealing between the abutting ring and the cover 11.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 In order to improve the stability of the input and output of hot oil from the heat exchange oil pipe 2, the side wall of one end of the heat exchange oil pipe 2 is fixedly connected with an oil inlet pipe 14, and the side wall of the other end of the heat exchange oil pipe 2 is fixedly connected with an oil outlet pipe 15.

[0039] Working principle of the energy-saving oil-water heat exchanger:

[0040] The heat generated during the operation of the air compressor is usually cooled by oil cooling. The hot oil after absorbing heat is output from one output end of the air compressor and enters the heat exchange oil pipe 2 through the oil inlet pipe 14. At the same time, water flow is introduced into the heat exchange water pipe 1 through the water inlet pipe 16. After the hot oil is input, the hot oil flows between the heat exchange water pipe 1 and the heat exchange oil pipe 2, and the heat is transferred to the flowing water through the fins 4 and the stainless steel heat exchange water pipe 1, so as to complete the heat exchange.

[0041] As described above, the plurality of staggered fins 4 make the flow channel 3 present an S shape, so as to prolong the path of the hot oil flow and prolong the residence time of the hot flow in the flow channel 3, which is beneficial to make the heat of the hot oil more fully absorbed by the water, so as to improve the energy-saving effect.

[0042] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
