Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger installation technology, and in particular to a horizontal installation structure for a plate heat exchanger. Background Technology

[0002] Horizontal installation structure generally refers to a structural form in which equipment or mechanical devices are installed in a horizontal direction. Compared with vertical installation, equipment or structures installed horizontally are mostly placed or supported horizontally. In order to make effective use of ground space, especially suitable for use in low-height spaces, and in some facilities with limited height, in order to maximize the use of horizontal area and avoid excessive occupation by vertical installation, the horizontal installation structure of plate heat exchangers is required.

[0003] Horizontal installation structures for plate heat exchangers can be divided into several types, including standard horizontal installation, compact horizontal installation, and modular horizontal installation. These different types of horizontal installation structures can be optimized and selected according to the actual application requirements, space conditions, maintenance requirements, and heat exchange efficiency requirements. Among them, the standard horizontal installation structure is the most common, in which the plate heat exchanger is placed horizontally, and the support points of the equipment are provided by the base or support frame.

[0004] Existing technical structures, due to insufficient ease of adjustment during installation, necessitate frequent measurements and adjustments when installing heat exchangers. This manual adjustment method is not only time-consuming but can also lead to installation errors and increase installation difficulty, especially when dealing with heat exchangers of different sizes, often requiring remeasurement and adjustment of the support bracket position, resulting in additional workload and labor intensity. Therefore, simplifying the installation process and improving adjustment accuracy are key to solving this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a horizontal installation structure for plate heat exchangers, aiming to improve the problem of the cumbersome process of measuring the position of the brackets individually when installing heat exchangers of different sizes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a horizontal installation structure for a plate heat exchanger, including a horizontal support rod, a limiting groove 2 is provided inside the horizontal support rod, a slider 1 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the horizontal support rod, and an adjustment component is provided on the top of the slider 1;

[0007] The adjustment assembly includes a longitudinal support rod, both sides of which are fixedly connected to the top of a slider one. The slider one is slidably connected inside a limiting groove two. A limiting groove one is formed inside the longitudinal support rod. A slider two is provided at the top of the longitudinal support rod. The bottom of the slider two is slidably connected inside the limiting groove one. A bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the slider two. An installation hole is formed inside the bracket. A locking assembly is provided inside the slider one.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The locking assembly includes a bolt, which is threaded inside the slider, and one end of the bolt abuts against one side of the transverse support rod.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The bottom of the second slider is provided with a limiting block, which is slidably connected inside the first limiting groove.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The top of the longitudinal support rod is provided with a toothed groove, and the bottom of the second slider is fixedly connected with a toothed block.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The tooth block is fitted into the tooth groove.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The second slider has a trapezoidal locking block fitted inside, and a bolt is inserted inside the trapezoidal locking block.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The bolt is threaded into the inside of the limiting block.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, firstly, the sliders at both ends of the longitudinal support rod slide on the outer wall of the transverse support rod. After they are in place, the bolt is rotated so that one end of the bolt is locked against one side of the transverse support rod. The mounting hole is adjusted to the position by the slider sliding on the outer wall of the longitudinal support rod, thus achieving the effect of adapting to heat exchangers of different sizes. This solves the problem that it is cumbersome to measure the position of the bracket separately when installing heat exchangers of different sizes, and improves the practicality of the installation structure.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the bottom of the slider two is pre-positioned by the engagement of the toothed block and the toothed groove. Then, the bolt two is rotated to drive the limiting block to clamp the slider two upward. The bolt two fixes the slider two from the top through the trapezoidal card block, which achieves the effect of pre-positioning and easy locking. This solves the problem that when adjusting the size of the bracket of the horizontal installation structure of the heat exchanger, the operator needs to manually hold it and fix it in the lock, thus improving the convenience of the installation structure.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides an embodiment of a horizontal installation structure for a plate heat exchanger, including a horizontal support rod 1, a limiting groove 9 inside the horizontal support rod 1, a slider 2 slidably connected to the outer wall of the horizontal support rod 1, and an adjustment component on the top of the slider 2.

[0030] The adjustment assembly includes a longitudinal support rod 3, which is fixedly connected to the top of slider 2 on both sides. Slider 2 is slidably connected inside limiting groove 9, ensuring that the longitudinal support rod 3 can be flexibly adjusted on the transverse support rod 1 to meet the installation requirements of heat exchangers of different sizes. A limiting groove 6 is provided inside the longitudinal support rod 3 for sliding connection to slider 5, achieving precise longitudinal position adjustment, avoiding excessive movement, and maintaining stability. Slider 5 is located at the top of the longitudinal support rod 3, and its bottom is slidably connected inside limiting groove 6, ensuring stable sliding and positioning of slider 5, while preventing loosening or instability caused by excessive movement of the support rod. A bracket 7 is fixedly connected to one side of slider 5. Mounting holes 8 are provided inside the bracket 7 for installing heat exchangers or other equipment. By adjusting the position of the bracket 7, the equipment can be more tightly fitted to the bracket 7, ensuring the stability of the installation. A locking assembly is provided inside slider 2, including bolt 4. Bolt 4 is threadedly connected inside slider 2, with one end of bolt 4 abutting against one side of the transverse support rod 1 to complete the fixation after adjustment.

[0031] Specifically, when adjusting the lateral dimensions of the mounting bracket, the sliders 2 at both ends of the longitudinal support rod 3 slide smoothly along the outer wall of the lateral support rod 1. The movement of sliders 2 adjusts the width of the lateral support rod 1, ensuring the mounting bracket can accommodate heat exchangers of different widths. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the bolts 4 are rotated to lock one end of the bolt tightly against the side of the lateral support rod 1, thereby stabilizing the structure of the bracket 7 and preventing any unnecessary displacement. At the same time, sliders 2 and 9 fit perfectly, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the lateral dimension adjustment. When adjusting the longitudinal dimensions, sliders 2 and 5 slide along the outer wall of the longitudinal support rod 3 for quick adjustment. The operation is flexible and the adjustment is precise during the sliding process. After adjustment, the heat exchanger is placed in a stable position on the bracket 7, and the fastening bolts pass through the mounting holes 8 and are locked, ensuring the heat exchanger is firmly fixed on the bracket 7.

[0032] Reference Figure 3The slider 2 5 has a limiting block 11 at its bottom, which is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 6 to ensure stable sliding of the slider 2 5 within the longitudinal support rod 3, preventing excessive movement or displacement of the slider 2 5. The top of the longitudinal support rod 3 has a toothed groove 13, providing a precise engagement position for the toothed block 14, ensuring that the slider 2 5 can be more accurately and firmly fixed during adjustment. The bottom of the slider 2 5 is fixedly connected to the toothed block 14, which engages with the toothed groove 13 to form a stable meshing structure, preventing the slider 2 5 from loosening during use and improving the accuracy and stability of adjustment. A trapezoidal locking block 10 is fitted inside the slider 2 5, providing additional stable support, making the slider 2 5 more secure during adjustment and preventing easy position changes. A bolt 2 12 passes through the trapezoidal locking block 10, which is threaded into the limiting block 11, ensuring that the slider 2 5 is firmly fixed after adjustment, preventing loosening or loss of adjustment position during use, and improving the stability of the structure and the reliability of long-term use.

[0033] Specifically, when it is necessary to securely lock slider 2 5 to the longitudinal support rod 3, firstly, by precisely adjusting the position of slider 2 5, slider 2 5 slides smoothly along the outer wall of the longitudinal support rod 3, ensuring that the adjustment position of the slider is accurate. At this time, slider 2 5 slides within the limiting groove 1 6 through the limiting block 11. The design of the limiting groove 1 6 ensures that slider 2 5 will not exceed the predetermined range during adjustment, improving the stability of adjustment. Subsequently, the toothed block 14 and toothed groove 13 at the bottom of slider 2 5 engage with each other, completing the initial pre-positioning, ensuring that the position of slider 2 5 on the longitudinal support rod 3 is accurately predetermined, preventing slider 2 5 from shifting during adjustment. To further secure slider 2 5, the operator rotates bolt 2 12, causing it to drive the limiting block 11 to clamp slider 2 5 upwards, ensuring a tight fit between slider 2 5 and the longitudinal support rod 3 through precise mechanical force. Bolt 2 12 securely fixes slider 2 5 from the top through the trapezoidal locking block 10, making the toothed groove 13 and toothed block 14 fit tightly, achieving the purpose of locking.

[0034] Working principle: When using the horizontal installation structure of this plate heat exchanger, to adjust the transverse dimension of the mounting bracket, simply slide the slider 2 at both ends of the longitudinal support rod 3 on the outer wall of the transverse support rod 1. After it is in place, rotate the bolt 4 so that one end of the bolt 4 abuts against one side of the transverse support rod 1 for locking. The slider 2 engages with the limiting groove 9 and slides. When it is necessary to adjust the longitudinal dimension, the mounting hole 8 is adjusted to the position by sliding the slider 5 on the outer wall of the longitudinal support rod 3. Then, place the heat exchanger on the bracket 7 and then let the fastening bolt pass through the mounting hole 8 for locking. This achieves the effect of adapting to heat exchangers of different sizes.

[0035] When it is necessary to lock slider 2 5 to longitudinal support rod 3, slider 2 5 adjusts its position on the outer wall of longitudinal support rod 3. Sliding slider 2 5 in limiting groove 1 6 through limiting block 11 is adjusted. Then, the bottom of slider 2 5 is pre-positioned by toothed block 14 engaging with toothed groove 13. Then, rotating bolt 2 12 causes bolt 2 12 to drive limiting block 11 to clamp slider 2 5 upward. Bolt 2 12 fixes slider 2 5 from the top through trapezoidal locking block 10, so that toothed groove 13 and toothed block 14 fit tightly, achieving the effect of pre-positioning and easy locking.

[0036] 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.
