Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, specifically a high-strength modular heat exchanger unit. Background Technology

[0002] The heat exchange unit mainly consists of heat exchangers, circulating pumps, makeup water pumps, temperature control devices, and pressure-stabilizing expansion tanks. These components are generally fixed to the fixed brackets by screws. However, during assembly or replacement, the heat exchanger is made up of multiple heat exchange plates tightly pressed together by pressure plates. These pressure plates are generally fixed to the fixed brackets or frames by screws. The screw connection method may increase the workload during maintenance. If frequent disassembly and assembly are required for cleaning or replacement of parts, it may be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a high-strength modular heat exchanger unit. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-strength modular heat exchanger unit to solve the problem that the screw connection method mentioned in the background art may increase the workload during maintenance, and may be time-consuming and labor-intensive when frequent disassembly and assembly are required for cleaning or replacement of parts.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the spring is tightly pressed against the pressure plate, and the other end of the spring is tightly pressed against the base.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model mainly consists of a frame, a base, a left connecting rod, a spring, a pressure plate, a right connecting rod, a second spring, and a sliding sleeve. The base contains a left connecting rod with a spring fitted on it, which tightly presses against the pressure plate.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 The high-strength modular heat exchanger unit shown in the figure includes a frame 1, a base 2 fixedly connected to the frame 1, a left connecting rod 3 fixedly installed inside the base 2, a spring 4 sleeved on the left connecting rod 3, the spring 4 tightly pressing against the pressure plate 5, a right connecting rod 6 installed inside the base 2, a second spring 7 sleeved on the right connecting rod 6, the second spring 7 tightly pressing against the sliding sleeve 8, the sliding sleeve 8 tightly pressing against the pressure plate 5, and the pressure plate 5 tightly pressing against the heat exchanger 9. This allows for quick and easy disassembly and assembly when cleaning or replacing components such as the heat exchanger is required, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and avoiding the tedious operation of frequently tightening or loosening screws required in traditional screw connection methods, thereby reducing the labor intensity of maintenance personnel.

[0020] Furthermore, the outer side of the base 2 is provided with connecting ears 10, which are rotatably connected to hanging ears 11. By adding connecting ears to the outer side of the base and achieving rotatable connection with the hanging ears, the position of the equipment can be easily adjusted during installation, eliminating concerns about installation difficulties caused by positional deviations. This not only simplifies the installation process but also reduces the risk of installation errors.

[0021] Furthermore, the lug 11 engages with the pressure plate 5, which is slidably connected to the base 2. This engagement between the lug and the pressure plate, and the sliding connection between the pressure plate and the base, provides sufficient strength to ensure the stability of the entire structure under external forces. The engagement also facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, improving maintenance efficiency. The sliding connection between the pressure plate and the base allows the pressure plate to move freely in a certain direction on the base, adapting to different working conditions. This design not only makes installation more convenient but also allows for fine-tuning during equipment operation to ensure optimal working condition.

[0022] Furthermore, the pressure plate 5 tightly presses against the sliding sleeve 8, and the sliding sleeve 8 is slidably connected to the right connecting rod 6. Through the tight pressing between the pressure plate and the sliding sleeve, and the sliding connection between the sliding sleeve and the right connecting rod, external interference can be effectively resisted, ensuring the stable operation of the mechanical system in harsh environments. This allows the sliding sleeve to slide freely on the right connecting rod according to actual needs, thereby adapting to the installation and commissioning requirements under different working conditions, reducing installation difficulty, and making the equipment more convenient and efficient during maintenance.

[0023] Furthermore, a second spring 7 is provided inside the sliding sleeve 8. One end of the second spring 7 is tightly pressed against the right connecting rod 6. The second spring is carefully installed inside the sliding sleeve, and one end of the spring is tightly pressed against the right connecting rod. The main function of the second spring is to provide continuous elastic force to tightly press the sliding sleeve and ensure that the pressure plate is fixed to the heat exchanger.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of the spring 4 is tightly pressed against the pressure plate 5, and the other end of the spring 4 is tightly pressed against the base 2. The spring achieves a stable connection and elastic support between the pressure plate and the base. One end of the spring is tightly pressed against the pressure plate, providing it with continuous support force; while the other end is tightly pressed against the base, ensuring the stability of the entire structure.

[0025] In this solution, the workflow is as follows: First, prepare frame 1 and base 2.

[0026] Securely connect frame 1 to base 2 to ensure a stable and reliable connection between the two.

[0027] The left connecting rod 3 is fixedly installed inside the base 2.

[0028] Place the spring 4 onto the left connecting rod 3, ensuring that one end of the spring can be tightly pressed against the pressure plate 5 to be installed later.

[0029] Place the pressure plate 5 on the base 2 and adjust its position so that it is tightly pressed against one end of the spring 4.

[0030] A right connecting rod 6 is installed inside the base 2.

[0031] The second spring 7 is fitted onto the right connecting rod 6, and one end of the second spring is pressed tightly against the sliding sleeve 8.

[0032] Slide the sleeve 8 onto the right connecting rod 6 and adjust its position so that it is tightly pressed against the pressure plate 5.

[0033] Place the heat exchanger 9 on the pressure plate 5 and ensure that the pressure plate can tightly press the heat exchanger to achieve good heat transfer effect.

[0034] Connecting ears 10 are provided on the outside of the base 2.

[0035] The hook 11 is rotated and connected to the connecting ear 10 for subsequent connection with other devices or structures.

[0036] Adjust the position of the lug 11 so that it engages with the pressure plate 5 to enhance the stability of the entire structure.

[0037] Adjust the position of the pressure plate 5 on the base 2 as needed to achieve a sliding connection. This step may require leaving appropriate gaps or designing a sliding mechanism in the previous steps.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
