Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger accessory technology, specifically to a high-efficiency installation structure for heat exchangers. Background Technology
[0002] When installing microchannel heat exchangers on-site, each heat exchanger is typically mounted within a frame using four sets of fasteners, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two sets of heat exchanger tubes between each heat collector tube and the frame;
[0003] Fastener 2 is usually fixed to the aluminum profile using a bolt and nut fastening structure. If a large number of heat exchangers need to be installed, a lot of time needs to be spent on site to install the nuts and bolts, which not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also takes a long time to install the heat exchangers.
[0004] Based on this, this utility model designs a high-efficiency installation structure for heat exchangers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a high-efficiency installation structure for heat exchangers.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A high-efficiency mounting structure for a heat exchanger, including a support frame;
[0008] The support frame is composed of four rectangularly distributed aluminum profiles that are fixedly connected by connectors.
[0009] U-shaped groove blocks are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the two heat collection tubes of the heat exchanger;
[0010] The four corners of the support frame are respectively provided with spring-type locking components that correspond one-to-one with the U-shaped groove blocks;
[0011] The spring-type locking assembly includes a hollow slider and a locking post. The hollow slider is slidably connected to the groove of the aluminum profile, and the locking post in the middle of the hollow slider is slidably connected. The locking post in the middle can move vertically. A locking hole is provided in the middle of the U-shaped groove block to be inserted into the locking post.
[0012] Furthermore, a limit post is fixedly installed at the lower end of the locking post, and a locking spring is sleeved on the outside of the limit post, with both ends of the locking spring abutting against the locking post and the inner wall of the hollow slider, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, a drive column is slidably connected to the hollow slider, and the locking column and the drive column are fixedly connected by a connecting plate.
[0014] Furthermore, there are two drive columns, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the locking column.
[0015] Furthermore, the hollow slider is made of plastic or aluminum.
[0016] Furthermore, the length of the hollow slider is greater than the length of the U-shaped groove block. When the locking pin is inserted into the locking hole of the U-shaped groove block, the driving pin is located on both sides of the U-shaped groove block.
[0017] Furthermore, the top of the locking post is designed as a ball-head structure.
[0018] Furthermore, the top of the drive column is equipped with an anti-slip rubber pad.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model changes the four sets of fasteners required for heat exchanger installation, replacing the original bolt and nut locking structure with spring-type locking components; the spring-type locking components can be pre-installed on the support frame before the support frame is shipped. When installing the heat exchanger on site, the position of the spring-type locking components is adjusted to misalign with the U-shaped groove block of the heat exchanger. Then, the heat exchanger is placed inside the support frame, the drive column is pressed to press the locking column into the hollow slider, and the hollow slider is moved until the locking column is aligned with the locking hole of the U-shaped groove block. The drive column is released, and the locking spring drives the locking column to reset and insert into the locking hole, so that the relative position of the hollow slider and the U-shaped groove block is fixed, thereby achieving a stable fixing effect on the heat exchanger, greatly saving the time spent on on-site installation of the heat exchanger, effectively improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the heat exchanger, and also facilitating the maintenance of the heat exchanger.

[0029] In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 A high-efficiency installation structure for a heat exchanger, comprising a support frame 1;
[0030] The support frame 1 is composed of four rectangular aluminum profiles that are fixedly connected by connectors.
[0031] U-shaped groove blocks 3 are fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the two heat collection tubes of the heat exchanger 2;
[0032] The four corners of the support frame 1 are respectively provided with spring-type locking components 4 that correspond one-to-one with the U-shaped groove blocks 3;
[0033] The spring-type locking assembly 4 includes a hollow slider 41, a locking post 42, a driving post 43, a limiting post 44, a locking spring 45, and a connecting plate 46. The hollow slider 41 is slidably connected to the groove of the aluminum profile. The hollow slider 41 can be integrally formed from aluminum or plastic, which has high strength and low cost. The locking post 42 in the middle of the hollow slider 41 is slidably connected, and the driving posts 43 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the locking post 42, and the driving posts 43 are slidably connected to the hollow slider 41. The U-shaped groove block 3 has a locking hole in the middle for insertion into the locking post 42. The length of the hollow slider 41 is greater than the length of the U-shaped groove block 3. When the locking post 42 is inserted into the locking hole of the U-shaped groove block 3, the driving posts 43 are located on both sides of the U-shaped groove block 3.
[0034] A limiting post 44 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the locking post 42, and a locking spring 45 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting post 44, with the two ends of the locking spring 45 abutting against the inner wall of the locking post 42 and the hollow slider 41 respectively.
[0035] The locking pin 42 and the driving pin 43 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 46;
[0036] The top of the locking pin 42 is designed as a ball head structure, which facilitates the movement of the locking pin 42 into the locking hole.
[0037] The top of the drive column 43 is equipped with an anti-slip rubber pad, making it easier for operators to control.
[0038] This invention modifies the four sets of fasteners required for heat exchanger installation, replacing the original bolt and nut locking structure with a spring-type locking assembly 4. The spring-type locking assembly 4 can be pre-installed on the support frame 1 before shipment. When installing the heat exchanger 2 on site, the position of the spring-type locking assembly 4 is adjusted to be misaligned with the U-shaped groove block 3 of the heat exchanger 2. Then, the heat exchanger 2 is placed inside the support frame 1, and the drive column 43 is pressed to press the locking column 42 into the hollow slider 41. The hollow slider 41 is moved until the locking column 42 is aligned with the locking hole of the U-shaped groove block 3. The drive column 43 is released, and the locking spring 45 drives the locking column 42 to reset and insert into the locking hole, thereby fixing the relative position of the hollow slider 41 and the U-shaped groove block 3, thus achieving a stable fixing effect for the heat exchanger 2. This significantly saves the time spent installing the heat exchanger 2 on site, effectively improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the heat exchanger 2, and also facilitates the maintenance of the heat exchanger 2.
