[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting pipe, a second connecting pipe, and a sealing plate. The first connecting pipe is disposed on the side wall of the fixing plate along the direction perpendicular to the fixing plate. The second connecting pipe is fixedly disposed in the middle of the outer side wall of the first connecting pipe along the direction perpendicular to the first connecting pipe. The two connecting ports are respectively located at the ends of the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe. The sealing plate is detachably fixed at the connecting port of the first connecting pipe or the second connecting pipe.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe are perpendicular to each other, the connecting assembly can be connected according to different directions of the connected equipment, and the unused connection port is sealed by the sealing plate.

[0022] 2. With the help of the installation tube, the first connecting tube is sleeved on the installation tube, so that the operator can adjust the direction of the connecting tube during the installation process, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the equipment;

[0023] 3. Through the mounting ring and ball bearings, the ball bearings can rotate freely within the mounting ring, which reduces the friction between the inner wall of the first connecting pipe and the mounting pipe, making it easier for the ball bearings to drive the first connecting pipe to rotate in the correct direction.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a detachable plate heat exchanger.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A detachable plate heat exchanger includes a base 1, a fixed clamping plate 2, a movable clamping plate 3, a column 4, two guide rods 5, multiple bolts 6, nuts 8, and plates 9. The base 1 is placed on the ground, the fixed clamping plate 2 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the fixed clamping plate 2 is located at one end of the top wall of the base 1. The column 4 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the column 4 is located at the other end of the top wall of the base 1 away from the fixed clamping plate 2.

[0031] One end of the guide rod 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the column 4, and the other end of the guide rod 5 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed clamping plate 2 near the column 4. There are two guide rods 5, located on the upper and lower sides of the fixed clamping plate 2 and the column 4, respectively. The movable clamping plate 3 is slidably installed on the two guide rods 5, and multiple plates 9 are slidably installed on the two guide rods 5. The multiple plates 9 are located between the fixed clamping plate 2 and the movable clamping plate 3, so that there is space for fluid to pass through between the plates 9, thereby improving the structural stability of the plate heat exchanger.

[0032] Multiple nuts 8 are mounted on multiple bolts 6, with each bolt 6 corresponding to one of the nuts 8. The bolts 6 pass through the fixed clamping plate 2 and the movable clamping plate 3 respectively. When the nuts 8 are tightened clockwise on the bolts 6, the fixed clamping plate 2 and the movable clamping plate 3 are clamped together, thereby clamping the multiple plates 9. When the nuts 8 are rotated counterclockwise on the bolts 6, the fixed clamping plate 2 and the movable clamping plate 3 are loosened, facilitating replacement, installation, and maintenance by the operator.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A connecting assembly 10 is installed on the fixed clamping plate 2. The connecting assembly 10 is located on the side wall of the fixed clamping plate 2 away from the plate 9. There are four connecting assemblies 10. The plate heat exchanger is connected to the equipment pipeline through the connecting assemblies 10. Each connecting assembly 10 has two connection ports 11. The two connection ports 11 are perpendicular to each other, so that the plate heat exchanger can be adjusted according to the direction of the connection port 11 of the connected pipeline equipment. The unused connection ports 11 are closed, which improves the flexibility and practicality of the plate heat exchanger in different environments.

[0034] The connecting assembly 10 includes a first connecting pipe 101, a second connecting pipe 102, and a sealing plate 103. Two connecting ports 11 are located at the ends of the first connecting pipe 101 and the second connecting pipe 102, respectively. Four first flanges 12 are fixedly installed on the fixing clamp 2, and the four first flanges 12 are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the side wall of the fixing clamp 2. A second flange 13 is fixedly installed on the first connecting pipe 101, and the second flange 13 is located at the end of the first connecting pipe 101 closest to the fixing clamp 2, and the first flange 12 is connected to the second flange 13.

[0035] A third flange 14 is fixedly installed on the first connecting pipe 101, and the third flange 14 is located at the end of the first connecting pipe 101 away from the second flange 13. A second connecting pipe 102 is installed on the first connecting pipe 101 and perpendicular to the first connecting pipe 101. A fourth flange 15 is fixedly installed on the second connecting pipe 102, and the fourth flange 15 is located at the end of the second connecting pipe 102 away from the first connecting pipe 101. The sealing plate 103 is connected to either the third flange 14 or the fourth flange 15.

[0036] The connection between the fixed clamp 2 and the connecting pipe is made more stable by the first flange 12, the second flange 13, the third flange 14 and the fourth flange 15, and the connection between the first connecting pipe 101, the second connecting pipe 102 and the sealing plate 103 is made continuous and its sealing performance is improved to prevent leakage of fluid during flow. The selection of flanges can realize quick disassembly, which is convenient for maintenance, installation or replacement of various components, and is convenient for operators to operate, thus improving work efficiency.

[0037] Four mounting pipes 16 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed clamping plate 2. The four mounting pipes 16 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the four first flanges 12 and are located inside the four first flanges 12. The first connecting pipe 101 is sleeved on the mounting pipe 16. By adding mounting pipes 16 to the side wall of the fixed clamping plate 2 and sleeve the first connecting pipe 101 on the mounting pipe 16, it is convenient for operators to adjust the direction of the connecting pipes according to the site environment and actual needs during the installation process, thereby improving the practicality of the plate heat exchanger.

[0038] Each mounting tube 16 is fixedly fitted with a mounting ring 17. There are two mounting rings 17, which are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the mounting tube 16. Each mounting ring 17 is located on the outer wall of the mounting tube 16. Multiple balls 18 are rotatably mounted on the mounting ring 17. The multiple balls 18 are located inside the outer wall of the mounting ring 17 and are evenly distributed at equal intervals along the axial direction of the mounting ring 17. Each ball 18 abuts against the inner wall of the first connecting tube 101.

[0039] The ball bearing 18 rotates freely on the outer wall of the mounting ring 17, which reduces the friction between the inner wall of the first connecting pipe 101 and the mounting pipe 16. When the ball bearing 18 is subjected to an external force and rotates, the ball bearing 18 drives the first connecting pipe 101 to rotate, which facilitates the connection and installation of equipment in different directions, increases the applicable scenarios of the plate heat exchanger, and improves its practicality.

[0040] A guide ring 19 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting ring 17 located away from the fixed clamping plate 2. The guide ring 19 is located on the side of the mounting ring 17 away from the fixed clamping plate 2. The thickness of the guide ring 19 gradually increases from the third flange 14 towards the second flange 13. The change in the thickness of the guide ring 19 provides better guidance for the installation of the equipment, ensuring that each component can be installed smoothly and accurately in the appropriate position, making the installation more efficient and improving the stability of the equipment installation.

[0041] The implementation principle of a detachable plate heat exchanger according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When connecting the heat exchanger to the heat exchange equipment, the first connecting pipe 101 is rotated on the mounting pipe 16 according to the required installation of the heat exchange equipment. The first connecting pipe 101 drives the second connecting pipe 102 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the connection port 11 of the heat exchanger. Subsequently, the first connecting pipe 101 is fixed by the first flange 12 and the second flange 13. The sealing plate 103 is installed on the third flange 14 and the connection port 11 of the first connecting pipe 101 is sealed. Finally, the connection port 11 of the first connecting pipe 101 is connected to the pipeline of the heat exchange equipment by the fourth flange 15.

[0042] The above are merely optional embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Various modifications and variations can be made to this disclosure by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
