Both the first flange 3 and the second flange 4 have multiple circular holes 5. One end of the second flange 4 has multiple hexagonal holes 6 communicating with the circular holes 5. Bolts 7 are disposed on the inner walls of the multiple hexagonal holes 6 and the multiple circular holes 5, and the outer walls of the multiple bolts 7 are threaded with... Nut 8, multiple guide posts 9 are fixedly connected to the end of the first flange 3 away from the second flange 4, and limit plates 10 are fixedly connected to the other end of each guide post 9. Limit rings 11 are provided on the outer wall of the multiple guide posts 9. Multiple hexagonal grooves 12 are opened on the end of the limit rings 11 near the first flange 3. Springs 13 are fixedly connected between the limit rings 11 and the multiple limit plates 10. Heat exchange tubes are provided inside the heat exchanger shell 1. A circular plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat exchange tubes. The circular plate is fixedly connected to the heat exchanger shell 1.

[0024] Specifically, the heat exchanger shell 1 and the heat exchanger tube head 2 are connected together by the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. Then, the bolts 7 are passed through the circular holes 5 in sequence, and the hexagonal blocks on the bolts 7 are locked in the hexagonal holes 6 to limit the bolts 7. Then, the nuts 8 are installed on the bolts 7, thus completing the fixed connection of the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. Therefore, the heat exchanger shell 1 and the heat exchanger tube head 2 can be fixed together. At this time, the elastic return action of the spring 13 can reset the limiting ring 11 and lock the nuts 8 in the hexagonal groove 12 to limit and fix the nuts 8. This can prevent loosening during use, avoid leakage, and improve stability.

[0027] Specifically, the fixing ring 16 is inserted into the annular airbag 15, and the annular airbag 15 wraps around one end of the fixing ring 16, thereby sealing it. The heat exchanger shell 1 and the heat exchanger tube head 2 can be connected through the cooperation of the sealing ring 19 and the annular sealing groove 17. The sealing is further improved by the cooperation of the rubber gasket 18.

[0028] In actual operation, the sealing ring 19 is first inserted into the annular sealing groove 17 to connect and limit the heat exchanger shell 1 and the heat exchanger tube head 2. At the same time, the fixing ring 16 is inserted into the annular groove 14 and squeezes the annular air bag 15, and the annular air bag 15 is wrapped around the outer wall of the fixing ring 16, so as to ensure the sealing effect and prevent leakage during use.

[0029] Then, the bolt 7 is inserted into the circular hole 5, and the hexagonal block on the bolt 7 is locked into the hexagonal hole 6. Then, the nut 8 is installed on the outer wall of the bolt 7, thereby completing the fixed installation of the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. Then, the heat exchanger shell 1 and the heat exchanger tube head 2 can be installed together. Then, the elastic action of the spring 13 can move the limiting ring 11 towards the first flange 3, and the hexagonal groove 12 is locked into the outer wall of the nut 8, completing the limiting of the nut 8, preventing loosening during use, improving stability, and further improving the sealing performance.
