Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of backwashing equipment, and in particular to a heat exchanger backwashing device. Background Technology
[0002] A heat exchanger, also known as a heat exchanger, is a device that transfers some of the heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid. It achieves heating or cooling by allowing two fluids at different temperatures to exchange heat over a heat transfer area. With long-term operation, dirt and impurities inevitably accumulate in the internal pipes and heat exchange surfaces of a heat exchanger, affecting its heat transfer efficiency. A heat exchanger backwashing device, as a specialized device for cleaning heat exchangers, can remove dirt and impurities from inside the heat exchanger by changing the flow direction of the fluid and adding cleaning agents, using the flushing action of the fluid to restore heat transfer performance, ensure the continuous and stable operation of the heat exchanger, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0003] In heat exchanger backwashing devices, the filter components are crucial for ensuring stable operation and efficient heat exchange. However, the filter screens are prone to clogging. Although the filters have bidirectional filtration capabilities, they still struggle to handle impurities in water under special conditions such as seawater. These impurities accumulate on the filter screens, causing them to clog rapidly. Furthermore, the backwashing device's filters cannot meet the filtration requirements for fine particulate impurities, allowing some small impurities to still enter the heat exchanger. Long-term accumulation will still affect heat exchange efficiency. The existing solution is to use automatic backwashing filters, or reasonably increase the number of filter screens. When the pressure difference across the filter screens reaches a set value, the backwashing program is automatically activated, flushing the filter screens with reverse water flow to remove impurities. However, the control mechanism of automatic backwashing filters is prone to malfunction, causing backwashing to fail to proceed normally. Increasing the number of filter screens increases water flow resistance, affecting heat exchange efficiency, and the interception effect on fine particles remains limited. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a heat exchanger backwashing device, comprising a base 1 and a cleaner body 2. A water outlet pipe 15 is connected to the right end of the cleaner body 2, allowing water from the cleaner to flow into the heat exchanger. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 15, supporting a motor protective shell 5. The top of the support frame 4 is also fixedly connected to the motor protective shell 5, protecting a servo motor 6. A servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor protective shell 5, rotating as a cleaning brush 13. The backup power source, the output end of the servo motor 6, is fixedly connected to a flexible coupling 7. The flexible coupling 7 is used to connect the two shafts and compensate for possible displacement deviations between the two shafts, ensuring the smoothness of power transmission. A water flow drive impeller 9 is fixedly connected to the right end of the flexible coupling 7. The water flow drive impeller 9 enables the water flow to provide power for the rotation of the cleaning brush 13. A rotating column 8 is fixedly connected to the right end of the water flow drive impeller 9. The rotating column 8 serves as a power transmission component. Two cleaning brushes 13 are fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the rotating column 8. The two cleaning brushes 13 are used for... The filter screen 12 is scrubbed. Multiple fixing rods 10 are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 15. Each fixing rod 10 has a guide cylinder 11 fixedly connected to its other end. The fixing rods 10 and guide cylinders 11 provide support and guidance for the rotating column 8. A filter screen 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 15. When the cleaning water from the cleaner flows into the heat exchanger through the filter screen 12, there will not be too many impurities. A vibrator 14 is fixedly connected to the front left end of the filter screen 12. The vibrator 14 is used to shake off impurities from the filter screen 12. The water outlet pipe 15... An electric controller 26 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall. The electric controller 26 facilitates the operation of the baffle plate 16 by the staff. The baffle plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric controller 26. The baffle plate 16 is used to control the water flow in the outlet pipe 15. An impurity recovery mechanism 3 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaner body 2. The impurity recovery mechanism 3 is used to recover the impurities flushed out of the heat exchanger. A sealing gasket 20 is fixedly connected around the outer wall of the baffle plate 16. The sealing gasket 20 is used to prevent water from overflowing the baffle plate 16. The shape of the sealing gasket 20 is the same as the size of the outer wall of the baffle plate 16.
[0034] Specifically, when backwashing the heat exchanger begins, the water pump is turned on, allowing water mixed with detergent from the cleaner body 2 to flow into the heat exchanger from the outlet pipe 15. The water in the heat exchanger flows to the lower right side of the cleaner body 2, carrying impurities into the cleaner body 2 for cleaning. As the water flows into the heat exchanger, some impurities are carried away and intercepted by the filter screen 12. The force generated by the water flow drives the impeller 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating column 8, causing the cleaning brush 13 to clean the filter screen 12, preventing... Impurities are carried back into the heat exchanger. When the water flow is insufficient to drive the impeller 9, the servo motor 6 is activated via the control panel 25, which in turn drives the rotating column 8 and the cleaning brush 13 to rotate, thus avoiding energy waste. The flexible coupling 7 has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility. When the impeller 9 is driven to rotate with the assistance of the water flow, the torque is transmitted to the output end of the servo motor 6 through the flexible coupling 7. Due to the connecting effect of the flexible coupling 7, the connecting part of the servo motor 6 will rotate with the rotation of the impeller 9 driven by the water flow, and can buffer the impact force on the cleaning brush 13 when the water flows through.
[0035] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The impurity recovery mechanism 3 includes a second motor protective shell 301, which protects the rotating motor 302. The front of the second motor protective shell 301 is fixedly connected to the front of the inner wall of the cleaner body 2. The rotating motor 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the second motor protective shell 301. The rotating motor 302 allows the actuating plate 307 to move. A gear 303 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor 302. A groove 304 is provided in the lower middle part of the inner wall of the cleaner body 2. The groove 304 provides space for the slider 305 to rotate. The slider 305 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 304. 305 is used to transmit the power of the rotating motor 302. A rack 306 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider 305. A toggle plate 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider 305. The toggle plate 307 is used to push the impurities falling on the bottom wall of the cleaner body 2 into the impurity recovery column 308. The impurity recovery column 308 is threadedly connected to the middle of the bottom wall of the cleaner body 2. The impurity recovery column 308 is used to recover the impurities backwashed from the heat exchanger. Two opening slots 19 are opened at the bottom end of the impurity recovery column 308. The inner walls of the two opening slots 19 are polished. The two opening slots 19 facilitate the opening of the impurity recovery column 308.
[0036] Specifically, when impurities in the heat exchanger fall into the inner bottom wall of the cleaner body 2 as they are washed by the water flow, the rotating motor 302 is started via the control panel 25, which in turn causes the gear 303 to rotate synchronously. Because the gear 303 and the rack 306 are meshed, the slider 305 rotates in the slide groove 304 under the drive of the rack 306. Since the lower end of the slider 305 is fixedly connected to the actuating plate 307, the actuating plate 307 can move the impurities on the inner bottom wall of the cleaner body 2, and under the drive of the water flow, the impurities fall into the gap in the middle of the impurity recovery column 308. After cleaning, the water in the cleaner body 2 is drained, and the cover slot 19 is screwed on to make the impurity recovery column 308 fall off the bottom wall of the cleaner body 2. The impurities in the gap of the impurity recovery column 308 are cleaned and recovered, and then screwed back to its original position. This completes the cleaning and recovery of impurities in the heat exchanger. The structure is simple and convenient.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An observation port 17 is provided on the front side of the main body 2 of the cleaner. An observation window 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the observation port 17. The observation window 18 is used to observe the status of the main body 2 of the cleaner. Multiple support columns 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. The multiple support columns 21 lift the device off the ground, which facilitates the rotation of the impurity recovery column 308 and also prevents the device from being damaged by moisture. A lifting device 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of each of the multiple support columns 21. The multiple lifting devices 22 facilitate the lifting and lowering of the device. A control console 24 is fixedly connected to the front top of the base 1. A control panel 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the control console 24. Through the control panel 25, the staff can remotely control the operation of the equipment. Anti-slip sleeves 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the multiple support columns 21. The front and rear anti-slip sleeves 23 are symmetrical to each other. The multiple anti-slip sleeves 23 are used to prevent the device from shifting.
[0038] Specifically, after the device is started, the staff can observe the condition inside the main body 2 of the cleaner through the observation window 18 to determine the cleaning status. When it is necessary to clean the impurities in the impurity recovery column 308, if the height of the support column 21 is insufficient, the height of the base 1 can be raised by adjusting the lifting device 22 to facilitate the cleaning of the impurity recovery column 308. Multiple anti-slip sleeves 23 can prevent the device from moving easily when the ground is too slippery, thus enhancing the stability of the device. The control panel 25 allows the staff to remotely control the rotating motor 302, servo motor 6, vibrator 14, lifting device 22 and electric controller 26.
[0039] Working principle: To prevent impurities accumulated in the heat exchanger within the main body 2 of the cleaner from falling back into the heat exchanger, a filter screen 12 is used for isolation. When water flows towards the heat exchanger, the water flow drives the impeller 9, which in turn causes the cleaning brush 13 on the left side to scrub the filter screen 12. When water flows towards the main body 2 of the cleaner, the cleaning brush 13 on the right side scrubs the filter screen 12. When the water flow rate is too low, the servo motor 6 is activated via the control panel 25, driving the cleaning brush 13 to clean the filter screen 12. The flexible coupling 7 has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility, which can compensate for misalignment, skewness and vibration between the servo motor 6 and the water flow driven impeller 9 to a certain extent. When the water flow driven impeller 9 rotates with the assistance of water flow, it will transmit the torque to the output end of the servo motor 6 through the flexible coupling 7. Due to the connection effect of the flexible coupling 7, the connection part of the servo motor 6 will rotate with the rotation of the water flow driven impeller 9 and can move slightly left and right, reducing the wear caused by the cleaning brush 13 constantly brushing the filter screen 12.
[0040] After the device is started, the rotating motor 302 is started via the control panel 25, causing the gear 303 to rotate synchronously. Since the gear 303 is meshed with the rack 306, the rack 306 also rotates. Since the rack 306 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider 305, the slider 305 also rotates in the groove 304. Since the lower end of the slider 305 is fixedly connected to the agitator plate 307, the agitator plate 307 can move the impurities on the bottom wall of the cleaner body 2. Since there is a stirring component inside the cleaner body 2 for mixing the cleaning agent and water, after the stirring component is started, the water flows to the middle of the cleaner body 2, and the impurities fall into the impurity collection column 308 under the action of the water flow. The staff only needs to take out the impurity collection column 308 to complete the cleaning and re-collection of impurities in the heat exchanger.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
