[0002] A heat exchanger is a device that transfers part of the heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid. A flange, also called a flange plate or flange, is a part used to connect shafts to each other, used for connecting pipe ends; flanges are also used on the inlet and outlet of equipment for connecting two pieces of equipment.

[0003] According to announcement number CN219368508U, a flange structure for easy disassembly of a heat exchanger is disclosed, including an upper tube body and a lower tube body. An upper connecting flange is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the upper tube body, and a lower connecting flange is fixedly installed on the upper panel of the lower tube body. Connecting devices are provided on the sides of the upper and lower connecting flanges. The connecting devices include a rotating unit and a fixing unit. The rotating unit includes a fixing block, a connecting rod, a compression spring, a pressure rod, and a locking block. The fixing unit includes an "L"-shaped fixing block, two connecting columns, and a fixing plate. This flange structure for easy disassembly of a heat exchanger stabilizes the connection by using the spring force of the compression spring to return the locking block to its fixed position after contact with the fixing plate in the connecting device, making the connection more secure. After the flange connection, the outer sealing ring and the inner sealing ring precisely match and are fixedly connected by the inner wall of the outer sealing ring and the outer surface of the inner sealing ring.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned heat exchanger flange structure has the following drawbacks:

[0005] Using only external and internal sealing rings for sealing results in poor sealing performance, which can easily lead to leakage. Furthermore, the connecting pipe is susceptible to corrosion and damage, reducing its service life.

[0006] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0009] A heat exchanger flange structure includes a first connecting pipe, a first flange, a second connecting pipe, a second flange, and a sealing structure. One end of the first connecting pipe is fixed with the first flange, and one end of the second connecting pipe is fixed with the second flange. A sealing structure is provided between the first flange and the second flange. Both the first flange and the second flange are provided with a plurality of fixing holes arranged in a circular array. Fixing bolts are provided in the fixing holes. A protective layer is provided on the outer wall of the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the interior of the first flange is provided with a placement groove for placing the sealing structure.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the second flange has a boss inside.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this invention, the length of the boss is greater than the depth of the placement groove.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the sealing structure includes a first washer, a first spring washer, a sealing washer, a second spring washer, and a second washer.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, both the first gasket and the second gasket are made of stainless steel, and the sealing gasket is made of rubber.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the protective layer is provided with a waterproof layer, a corrosion-resistant layer and a rigid steel plate anti-bending layer from the outside to the inside.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a placement groove inside the first flange and a boss inside the second flange, and cooperating with the sealing structure of the first gasket, the first spring gasket, the sealing gasket, the second spring gasket and the second gasket, the sealing performance is greatly improved and leakage is prevented. By setting a waterproof layer, a corrosion-resistant layer and a hard steel plate anti-bending layer, the corrosion resistance of the connecting pipe is greatly improved and the service life is extended.
