Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger technology, and in particular to a quick installation mechanism for heat exchanger finned tubes. Background Technology
[0002] A heat exchanger, also known as a heat exchanger, is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluids at different temperatures. Finned tube heat exchangers are widely used in power, chemical, petrochemical, air conditioning, and refrigeration engineering. They are not only suitable for single-phase fluid flow but also have great value for phase change heat transfer.
[0003] Common finned tubes are fixedly installed on heat exchanger supports. The connection method of finned tubes is welding, which requires welding each finned tube, thus taking a lot of time. Moreover, when a single or partial finned tube is damaged, all finned tubes on the heat exchanger need to be removed for repair, or the heat exchanger needs to be replaced directly, which easily leads to waste of resources. Therefore, this utility model provides a quick installation mechanism for heat exchanger finned tubes. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a quick-installation mechanism for heat exchanger finned tubes, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A quick-installation mechanism for heat exchanger finned tubes includes a mounting frame. The top of the mounting frame has a lower finned tube groove and a lower U-shaped tube groove. A finned tube body overlaps inside the lower finned tube groove and a U-shaped tube body overlaps inside the lower U-shaped tube groove. The finned tube body and the U-shaped tube body are inserted into each other. A movable component is provided on the surface of the mounting frame. A pressure plate is provided on the top of the mounting frame through the movable component. An upper finned tube groove and an upper U-shaped tube groove are provided at the bottom of the pressure plate.
[0007] Preferably, the movable component includes a support frame disposed on the surface of the mounting bracket, a threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the support frame, the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the pressure plate, and a movable rod is slidably connected inside the support frame, the movable rod is fixedly connected to the pressure plate.
[0008] Preferably, a turntable is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded rod, and the surface of the turntable is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0009] Preferably, the lower finned tube groove is connected to the lower U-shaped tube groove, and the size of the lower U-shaped tube groove is larger than the size of the lower finned tube groove.
[0010] Preferably, the upper finned tube groove is connected to the upper U-shaped tube groove, and the size of the upper U-shaped tube groove is larger than the size of the upper finned tube groove.
[0011] Preferably, there are multiple finned tube bodies, and the multiple finned tube bodies are distributed in an array.
[0012] Preferably, there are multiple movable rods, and the multiple movable rods are symmetrically distributed.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During installation, the finned tube body is placed on the lower finned tube groove, then the U-shaped tube body is fitted over it, and then inserted into the lower U-shaped tube groove. After all the finned tubes are installed, the pressure plate moves downwards via the moving component to press the finned tube body and the U-shaped tube body together. When a finned tube body is damaged, the pressure plate moves upwards to a suitable position via the moving component, and the damaged finned tube body can then be replaced. All finned tube bodies and U-shaped tube bodies can be clamped and fixed simultaneously. The entire installation process is clear and simple to operate, greatly shortening the installation time. When a finned tube body is damaged, only the damaged finned tube body needs to be replaced, eliminating the need to replace all finned tube bodies, thus reducing resource waste.

[0019] 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.
[0020] reference Figure 1-4A quick-installation mechanism for heat exchanger finned tubes includes a mounting frame 1. The top of the mounting frame 1 has a lower finned tube groove 2 and a lower U-shaped tube groove 3. Finned tube bodies 4 are overlapped inside the lower finned tube groove 2. Multiple finned tube bodies 4 are arranged in an array, which significantly increases the contact area with the fluid. According to the principles of heat transfer, a larger heat transfer area results in a faster heat transfer rate and higher heat exchange efficiency, allowing for more complete heat exchange between hot and cold fluids and facilitating the achievement of the required temperature changes in the process. A U-shaped tube body 5 is overlapped inside the lower U-shaped tube groove 3, and the finned tube bodies 4 are inserted into the U-shaped tube body 5. The mounting bracket 1 is connected to the lower U-shaped tube groove 3. The size of the lower U-shaped tube groove 3 is larger than that of the lower finned tube groove 2. This allows the finned tube body 4 to better contact the lower finned tube groove 2 when the U-shaped tube body 5 fits over the finned tube body 4, thus facilitating subsequent fixing of the U-shaped tube body 5 and the finned tube body 4. A movable component is provided on the surface of the mounting bracket 1. A pressure plate 9 is provided on the top of the mounting bracket 1 via the movable component. An upper finned tube groove 11 and an upper U-shaped tube groove 12 are provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 9. The upper finned tube groove 11 and the upper U-shaped tube groove 12 are connected. The size of the upper U-shaped tube groove 12 is larger than that of the upper finned tube groove 11, allowing the upper finned tube groove 11 to contact the U-shaped tube body 5 when the upper U-shaped tube groove 12 contacts the U-shaped tube body 5. The moving assembly is designed to contact the finned tube body 4 precisely, facilitating simultaneous fixation of the U-shaped tube body 5 and the finned tube body 4. The moving assembly includes a support frame 6 mounted on the surface of the mounting bracket 1. A threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected inside the support frame 6, and a turntable 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the threaded rod 7. The turntable 8 has anti-slip textures on its surface, increasing the friction between the turntable 8 surface and the operator's hand. When the turntable 8 needs to be rotated to drive the threaded rod 7 for raising and lowering the pressure plate 9, the operator can grip the turntable 8 more firmly, applying force more stably and avoiding operational difficulties or inability to rotate the turntable 8 smoothly due to hand slippage. This improves the convenience and smoothness of operation. The threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 9, and a movable rod 10 is slidably connected inside the support frame 6. There are multiple movable rods 10, which are symmetrically distributed. The multiple movable rods 10 provide a more stable guide for the vertical movement of the pressure plate 9. The movable rods 10 are fixedly connected to the pressure plate 9. Rotating the turntable 8 causes the threaded rod 7 to rotate and move downwards or upwards, thus moving the pressure plate 9 and movable rods 10 downwards or upwards. This movable assembly facilitates the vertical movement of the pressure plate 9, allowing for simultaneous fixation of the finned tube body 4 and the U-shaped tube body 5, making the installation of the finned tube body 4 more convenient. In this quick-installation mechanism for heat exchanger finned tubes, the finned tube body 4 is placed on the lower finned tube groove 2, and then the U-shaped tube body 5 is fitted over the finned tube body 4.Then, the U-shaped tube body 5 is inserted into the lower U-shaped tube groove 3. After all are installed, the pressure plate 9 is moved downwards by the moving component to press the finned tube body 4 and the U-shaped tube body 5 together. When a finned tube body 4 is damaged, the pressure plate 9 is moved upwards to the appropriate position by the moving component, and then the damaged finned tube body 4 can be replaced. All finned tube bodies 4 and U-shaped tube bodies 5 can be clamped and fixed simultaneously. The entire installation process is clear and simple to operate, greatly shortening the installation time. When a finned tube body 4 is damaged, only the damaged finned tube body 4 needs to be replaced, without replacing all finned tube bodies 4, thus reducing resource waste.
[0021] In use: During installation, place the finned tube body 4 on the lower finned tube groove 2, then fit the U-shaped tube body 5 over the finned tube body 4, and then insert the U-shaped tube body 5 into the lower U-shaped tube groove 3. After all parts are installed, rotate the turntable 8, causing the threaded rod 7 to rotate and move downwards, causing the pressure plate 9 and the movable rod 10 to move downwards, so that the pressure plate 9 presses the finned tube body 4 and the U-shaped tube body 5 tightly. When a finned tube body 4 is damaged, rotate the turntable 8, causing the surface of the threaded rod 7 to rotate and move upwards, so that the pressure plate 9... Move the movable rod 10 upward to the appropriate position, then pull out the corresponding U-shaped tube body 5, then take out the corresponding finned tube body 4, then place the new finned tube body 4 into the corresponding lower finned tube groove 2, then put the U-shaped tube body 5 over the corresponding finned tube body 4, so that the U-shaped tube body 5 is inserted into the corresponding lower U-shaped tube groove 3, and finally rotate the turntable 8, so that the threaded rod 7 rotates and moves downward, so that the pressure plate 9 and the movable rod 10 move downward, so that the pressure plate 9 presses the finned tube body 4 and the U-shaped tube body 5 together.
