[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a condenser with a sensor quick-change structure, comprising several condenser tubes 1. A sensor mounting assembly 2 is vertically mounted on the top of the outer wall of each condenser tube 1. The sensor mounting assembly 2 includes a mounting head 201, which is fixedly connected to the condenser tubes 1. A sensor mounting hole 202 is vertically opened on the top of the mounting head 201. A ball screw 203 is vertically mounted and slidably connected to the sensor mounting hole 202 inside the mounting head 201. Several screw nuts 204 are movably fitted on the outer wall of the ball screw 203. A sealing plate 205 is provided on one side of the outer wall of each screw nut 204. A sensor is provided on one side of the outer wall of the sealing plate 205. A collar 206 is matched to the sensor mounting hole 202. A spring 210 is provided at the bottom of the ball screw 203, and the bottom of the spring 210 is fixedly connected to the mounting head 201. A sealing sleeve 208 is provided inside the mounting head 201 outside the sensor mounting hole 202. The inner wall of the mounting head 201 and the inner wall of the sealing sleeve 208 are both horizontally provided with movable cavities 207 that match the sealing plate 205. The movable cavities 207 are in communication with the sensor mounting hole 202. The sealing plate 205 is eccentrically connected to the screw nut 204, and the collar 206 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plate 205 near the screw nut 204. A pull head 209 is provided at the top of the ball screw 203 extending to the outside of the mounting head 201.

[0025] In one embodiment, the mounting head 201 has a vertically formed first mounting cavity 211 that matches the ball screw 203, providing space for the ball screw 203 to be installed and to move telescopically. The mounting head 201 also has a second mounting cavity 212 outside the first mounting cavity 211 that matches the screw nut 204, providing space for the screw nut 204 to be installed and to move, while preventing the screw nut 204 from moving up and down. The first mounting cavity 211 and the second mounting cavity 212 are connected, and the second mounting cavity 212 is connected to the movable cavity 207, ensuring the normal up and down movement of the ball screw 203, and simultaneously ensuring that the screw nut 204 can normally drive the sealing plate 205 and the collar 206 to rotate.

[0026] In one embodiment, the condenser tube 1 is provided with a coolant reservoir 101 and a condenser 102 inside. Two adjacent coolant reservoirs 101 are connected in series through a first pipe 103, and two adjacent condenser 102 are connected in series through a second pipe 104. The coolant reservoirs 101 and condenser 102 inside the condenser tube 1 cooperate to achieve condensation treatment of the medium. The first pipe 103 is used to connect multiple coolant reservoirs 101 in sequence, and the second pipe 104 is used to connect multiple condenser 102 in sequence.

[0027] In one embodiment, two adjacent first pipes 103 are located on both sides of the condenser pipe 1 to ensure rapid circulation and replacement of the coolant inside the coolant reservoir 101; two adjacent second pipes 104 are located on both sides of the condenser pipe 1 to effectively extend the flow path of the medium to be condensed inside the cooler.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model:

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5This utility model comprises a condenser consisting of multiple condenser tubes 1, a sensor mounting assembly 2, a mounting head 201, a ball screw 203, a screw nut 204, a sealing plate 205, and a collar 206. The sensor mounting assembly 2 is used to mount temperature sensors on the condenser tubes 1. The mounting head 201 is fixedly connected to the condenser tubes 1. The sensor mounting hole 202 provides a mounting position for the temperature sensor. After the temperature sensor is fully inserted into the sensor mounting hole 202, the sensing end of the temperature sensor is inserted into the condenser tube 1 to detect the temperature. The ball screw 203, screw nut 204, sealing plate 205, and collar 206 are used to mount the temperature sensor. The lead screw 203 is adjusted by extension and retraction. The extension and retraction of the ball screw 203 drives the lead screw nut 204 to rotate. The lead screw nut 204 drives the sealing plate 205 and the collar 206 to rotate around the ball screw 203. The spring 210 undergoes compression and rebound motion during the extension and retraction of the ball screw 203. When installing the temperature sensor, the collar 206 is adjusted to align with the sensor mounting hole 202. Then, the temperature sensor is inserted into the sensor mounting hole 202, passing through the collar 206. The collar 206 is positioned outside the temperature sensor. The collar 206, supported by the spring force of spring 210, can clamp the temperature sensor, enabling quick installation and fixation of the temperature sensor. The collar 206 also provides a limiting stop between the sensor mounting hole 202 and the temperature sensor, effectively improving the sealing performance of the temperature sensor mounting hole. When disassembling the temperature sensor, slightly pulling upwards or pushing downwards on the ball screw 203 releases the collar 206 from its clamping state. Then, pulling the temperature sensor upwards causes it to move upwards from the sensor mounting hole 202. When the ball screw 203 is moved above the collar 206, it is released. Under the action of the spring 210, the ball screw 203 performs an elastic reset movement. The collar 206 and the sealing plate 205 rotate around the ball screw 203 again. The collar 206 moves out of the sensor mounting hole 202, and the sealing plate 205 moves to the position of the sensor mounting hole 202 to seal the sensor mounting hole 202. This can effectively seal the installation position after the temperature sensor is disassembled, and can effectively ensure the safety and sealing performance of the temperature sensor during installation, disassembly and replacement.

[0030] The sealing sleeve 208 seals the temperature sensor outside the sensor mounting hole 202, which can effectively improve the sealing performance of the temperature sensor; the movable cavity 207 provides movement space for the sealing plate 205 and the collar 206. When the sealing plate 205 or the collar 206 moves to the position of the sensor mounting hole 202, the sealing plate 205 or the collar 206 can squeeze the sealing sleeve 208, which can effectively improve the sealing effect between the sealing sleeve 208 and the surface of the temperature sensor.

[0031] The sealing plate 205 is eccentrically connected to the lead screw nut 204, allowing for a larger range of motion. This ensures that the sealing plate 205 can effectively seal the sensor mounting hole 202, while also exposing the sensor mounting hole 202 for normal installation of the temperature sensor after rotation. A collar 206 is positioned on the outer wall of the sealing plate 205 near the lead screw nut 204, allowing both the collar 206 and the sealing plate 205 to rotate around the ball screw 203 on either side of the lead screw nut 204. This facilitates position switching between the collar 206 and the sealing plate 205 during rotation. A pull head 209 extends from the top of the ball screw 203 to the outside of the mounting head 201, allowing operators to easily and quickly pull and press the ball screw 203.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
